- Michaelangelo: Whoa, hang on, dudes. Here comes the cavalry, bringing marshmallow, octopus, and chili pepper pizza.
- Donatello: Not so fast, fellow pizza lovers. This is a perfect opportunity for me to demonstrate my latest invention.
- [pulls off a sheet]
- Donatello: The automatic pizza-slicer.
- Michelangelo: Whoa, it looks more like a pizza shredder.
- Raphael: Face it, it just looks like Shredder, period.
- Vernon Fenwick: [on TV] Vernon Fenwick, ace reporter here. I'm at the reptile house where a new turtle habitat has just been opened to the general public. This new sanctuary will be a boon to turtles everywhere.
- Donatello: All right! Score one for the good guys!
- Vernon Fenwick: Not only will it protect numerous endangered species of our turtle friends, but it will help educate the public about these highly intelligent creatures. And now, back to our studios. Eew! What a waste! Spending our hard-earned tax dollars on a bunch of dirty, smelly reptiles.
- Cameraman: Uh, Vernon, we're still on the air!
- Vernon Fenwick: [chuckles nervously] Oops.
- Donatello: Dirty, smelly reptiles, huh? Why, that overblown windbag! He can't talk that way about our species! I'm going down to Channel 6 and give that Vernon a piece of my green mind!
- Donatello: [upon meeting the now intelligent Slash] Whatever happened to the old, lovable, stupid-as-a-sea-slug Slash?
- Donatello: A large, vicious turtle flying a spaceship? That almost sounds like... like Slash, the evil turtle from Dimension X. Nah, couldn't be. That Slash character was as dumb as mud.
- Slash: Ah, my earthling enemies. You've arrived precisely on schedule. I calculated it to the nanosecond.
- Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo: Huh?
- Donatello: Guys, I told you. He's changed.
- Slash: And now I shall destroy you utterly.
- Raphael: Whoa, now, whoa, whoa, time out. Easy, easy. Let's, uh, let's discuss this.
- Slash: Well, now that I have such an incredible vocabulary, discussing things is my strong point.
- Raphael: Then answer us this. How did you get so smart all of a sudden?
- Slash: I was wondering when someone would ask me that. It happened while I was drifting through space...
- [flashback starts]
- Slash: Which was entirely your doing, I might add.
- Michelangelo: Yeah, I remember. Episode 74.
- Burne Thompson: There's that creature. Get some footage of him.
- Vernon Fenwick: [chuckles nervously] Me?
- [gulps]
- Vernon Fenwick: What if he attacks me?
- Burne Thompson: I can dream, can't I?
- Leonardo: Donatello!
- Michelangelo: All right, you've come to rescue us!
- Donatello: [pulls out his pizza-slicer] I brought this to dismantle the antenna, but I've got a better use for it.
- Raphael: We're about to go bungee jumping without a rope, and you bring your dumbest invention of all time?
- Vernon Fenwick: Oh, I'm human again! I'm normal!
- Burne Thompson: Human, yes. Normal? No, no, no, no, no.
- Slash: Arrivederci! Bonjour! Adios! And sayonara!
- Michelangelo: Man, what a show-off. The dude makes an exit in four different languages.
- Leonardo: I've got to hand it to Donatello. He outsmarted Slash and his alien super intelligence.
- Michelangelo: Yeah, but there's just one thing that's bugging me. Nothing blew up.
- Raphael: And this bugs you?
- Michelangelo: Well, you know how when we defeat the bad guys, there's always, like, this big, humongous explosion?
- Raphael: Yeah? So?
- Michelangelo: Well, so we defeated Slash, but nothing blew up.
- [Donatello enters with something covered in a sheet]
- Donatello: Ahem. Since I am once again the inventive genius of this group, here's my latest creation.
- [pulls off the sheet]
- Donatello: The automatic cheese grater!
- [the turtles groan]
- Donatello: See, you put the parmesan here, and presto!
- [Donatello presses a button and the machine explodes, making a mess]
- Raphael: [to Michelangelo] You happy now?
- Michelangelo: When am I gonna learn to keep my big beak shut?
