Michelangelo: "Maybe all that hardware's for making coleslaw"

The Shredder: "You are here because the outside world rejects you. THIS is your family. *I* am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot. There is a new enemy: freaks of nature who interfere with our business. You are my eyes and ears; find them. Together we will punish these creatures. These... turtles."

Foot Thug: "We're a family."

Casey Jones: "Family? Is that what you said, "family"? Wait, you call this here and that down there "family"?"

Leonardo: "Gotcha!"

Leonardo: "[Raphael has brought an unconscious April O'Neil into the sewer] Are you crazy?"

Raphael: "Yeah, Leo - I'm crazy, OK? A loony, OK?"
