The following is a list of quotes from the first season of the 1987 series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

## Season 1
### Turtle Tracks

    Michaelangelo: [To April] Well, what do you think?
    April: I think you did those robberies.
[She makes a break for the exit but is blocked off by Donatello]
    Raphael: Ah ah ah ah ah. Wait a minute. Did I miss something here? Ain't you up on current events, lady? We just saved your life.
    April: The thieves were ninjas, pal.
    Michaelangelo: Yeah, but were they turtles?
    April: It doesn't matter. You're still news.
    Donatello: No way. You put us on TV and every scientist in town will be after us.
    Raphael: And we spent half our lives crawling around the bottom of a glass bowl. And we ain't going back.
    Donatello: Which means that you're staying here until we work this out.
    Michaelangelo: We're not gonna find anything here.

### Enter The Shredder

    Shredder: I must congratulate you. [enters to meet the turtles]
    Donatello: It's the same guy we fought last night
    Shredder: You passed the test with flying colors.
    Raphael: Test? What test?
    Shredder: Your hairy little friend knows me as Oroku Saki, but you may call me "The Shredder".
    Raphael: A kitchen utensil?
    Shredder: You would be wise to lose your flippant ways if you wish to join the honorable Foot Clan.
    Leonardo: Why should we want to do that?
    Shredder: Because it was I who made you what you are today. If not for me, Hamato Yoshi would never have left Japan. I followed him to this country, where I gained my advanced technology, including my rare experimental mutagen. It was I who caused you to mutate into your humanoid form. You owe everything to me! Don't deny your destiny. Join me.
    Raphael: Does the phrase "go suck a lemon" hold any meaning to you?

### A Thing About Rats

    Splinter: What's a matter, April?
[The Turtles have tied up Baxter Stockman]
    Michelangelo: You wanna clue us in on what this is?
    Baxter: It's the remote control for my mousers.
    Leonardo: Do you have any more of these "mousers"?
    Baxter: No, but the Shredder has. Hundreds of them.
    Leonardo: Where is the Shredder now?
    Baxter: I'll never talk.
    Raphael: You better. Or else I'm going to get 'Sai-castic'.
[Raphael pulls out his sai and intimidates Baxter.]
    Baxter: [He talks in a terrified rapid pace] He's in an old mansion on Green Street near Kent. He's got a master control for all the mousers there.
    Raphael: [Sheathes his sai] See? Nothing beats cutting wit.

### Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X

    [Bebop and Rocksteady are fighting Krang's stone warriors]
    Shredder: Stop, stop! STOP!
    [Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang's stone warriors stop firing]
    Rocksteady: Oh, we was starting to have fun.
    Shredder: Shut up! You are Krang's stone warriors are you not?
    General Tragg: Yeah. So?
    Shredder: There is something I must show you.
    General Tragg: We gonna catch those kids.
[The Turtles are battling with the Neutrinos on their star mobiles. Donatello is getting his shell scraped during the scuffle]
    Donatello: Hey, cut it out. You're ruining my finish.
    April: You got 'em! Who are they? Let's interrogate them!
    Michelangelo: It's okay April, they're cool.
    Dask: Cool? Daddio, we are frozen!
[April is reading "The Hare and the Tortoise" to Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello, who are in their beds]
    April: And as he crossed the finish line, the tortoise realised that slow and steady does won the race, for he had beaten the hare.
    Raphael: I love that story.
    Michelangelo: Read it again, April.
    April: But I've read it five times.
    Donatello: Just once more. Ahhh [falls asleep]]
    April: [steps away and chuckles as Leonardo comes in cleaning his katana] Just a bunch of sleepyheads.
    Leonardo: They'll need their rest. Because tomorrow, we're going to find The Shredder and finish him. [sheathes his katana]

### Shredder & Splintered

    Krang: Now, wretched reptiles, you will face... the wrath of Krang!
    Michelangelo: Wasn't that the name of a movie?
    Leonardo: I don't believe I saw it.
    Raphael: And I don't believe I'm seeing this!
    Michaelangelo: Uh-oh. It's that Retro Mutant Thing-of-a-bob.
    Donatello: He's gonna use it to turn us into ordinary turtles
    Raphael: Well, gang, it looks like it's back to the ol' pet store for us.
    Shredder: No, far from it. Tonight I dine on turtle soup.
    Shredder: What the devil happened? Where the devil are we? Dimension X? No!
    Krang: At last, I can conquer my home dimension.
    Shredder: But I don't want to conquer this place! I want to conquer Earth!
    Krang: In Dimension X, I am absolute master. You will do my bidding from now on.
    Shredder: The Shredder takes orders from no one!
    Krang: We shall see, Oroku Saki.
