• Raphael : [noticing April arriving at the lair wearing a yellow ball gown, high heels, diamond earrings, a jeweled necklace, makeup, and her hair styled differently]  Wow!, talk about embraceable! Who is that?

  April O'Neil : Hi guys, it's me.

  Donatello : Gosh, April, you look just like a... a girl!

  Leonardo : You look lovely!

  Michelangelo : Truly tubuloso!

  Raphael : Yeah, you clean up real good!

  Splinter : [also enamored]  April, you make this ancient rodent feel young again

  April O'Neil : Thanks, guys! You're just a bunch of big green sweeties, and you're the nicest rodent I know! And now I'm off to the Malcurian Embassy to cover a fancy party!

• Leonardo : [as April leaves for the party]  I think we should keep an eye on her!

  Donatello : Better yet, two!

  Michelangelo : Mondo notion dude!

  Raphael : Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

  [they all run for the exit and fight over who gets out first] 

• April O'Neil : [puts on Princess Mallory's pink dress, white gloves and crown, then hears the turtle com]  Oh, what a time for the Turtle Com!

  [answers it] 

  April O'Neil : April here, what's up?

  Donatello : [worried]  April, are you alright? We just spotted Shredder and his two hench mutants!

  April O'Neil : Aw, you fellas are so sweet to worry about me. I'm in Princess Mallory's room on the trail of a hot story so...

  [Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady break into the room] 

  Shredder : Grab her!

  Rocksteady : With pleasure!

  [picks her up and holds her in his arms] 

  April O'Neil : [while hitting him on the head]  Let go of me you...

  [Shredder renders her unconscious with a nerve pinch to the neck] 

  Donatello : April? April? April, answer me!

• April O'Neil : [wakes up, holds her head]  Ohhhh!

  [notices Rocksteady carrying her over his shoulder] 

  April O'Neil : Oh, let me go you slobbering beast! Just wait until the Turtles get their hands on you!

  Shredder : Wait, that voice... it sounds familiar!

  [uncovers April's hair and gets a better look at her face] 

  Shredder : Just as I thought! This isn't Princess Mallory, you moronic mutants, it's April O'Neil!

  Rocksteady : The dame reporter? What are we going to do, boss?

  Shredder : We're going to make the best of a bad situation!

  [grabs April by the arm and drags her away] 

  April O'Neil : Shredder, everywhere you go is a bad situation!

• April O'Neil : [encounters two doors]  One of these doors should lead to the roof, but which one?

  [opens one] 

  April O'Neil : Maybe it's this one...

  Shredder : [emerges from the door imitating a game show host]  You should've tried Door Number Two!

  [April slams the door shut, she tries the other door...] 

  Rockstedy : [grabs her]  Gotcha!

  Shredder : You may not be the princess, but you look enough like her to ensure our safe getaway if you keep that pretty little mouth shut!

  April O'Neil : Not a chance, Shredder!

  Shredder : As you wish!

  [pulls out a gag] 

  April O'Neil : I sure hope that's clean!

  [Shredder ties the gag around her mouth, then carries her away] 

• Michelangelo : [interested in what Splinter is eating]  Whoa! What is that, sensei?

  Splinter : It is called tekka maki, raw tuna roll. Have some, Michelangelo.

  [offers it to Michelangelo] 

  Michelangelo : [disgusted]  Whoa! Major gross out, no thanks!

  Splinter : A wise person embraces as many new experiences as possible.

  Leonardo : [offers him some of their pizza]  Master Splinter, perhaps you would like to try some pizza? It's marshmallow and pepperoni.

  Splinter : [disgusted]  Uh, the wise person also realizes some experiences are less embraceable than others.
