DonatelloI was thinking that the Shredder had a bigger hand in our lives than we know. Without the Shredder, we'd all still be pet turtles in a glass jar right now.
Michaelangelo[Imitating Gary Coleman] What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
DonatelloWell, allow me to explain: As you all may recall, we got mutated by that strange ooze when we were only babies.
SplinterI remember it as if it were yesterday. You were all so cute.
DonatelloThe ooze that mutated us came from the TCRI building, right? And, why did the TCRI building even exist? Because the Utroms were trying to build their Transmat so they could go home. And why did the Utroms need to go home?
DonatelloNo, because an evil prisoner they were transporting across the galaxy sabotaged their starship, causing them to crash land on Earth centuries ago. And they've been trapped here ever since. And who was this evil prisoner that caused the Utroms so much trouble? He was in fact... Drumroll please.
[Drumroll]
DonatelloHe was in fact... The Shredder! Ergo, the Shredder had a direct hand in our creation. See what I mean?
RaphaelI think I speak for everyone when I say, "No".
MichaelangeloLadies and mutants, how NOT to tell our origin story.

DonatelloListen, if the Shredder hadn't have made the Utroms crash in the first place, then they never would have developed the ooze, and if they never developed the ooze, we'd never have been mutated. And if we'd never been mutated, we'd all be eating fish flakes in some kid's acquarium right now.
MichaelangeloGoodbye, dented manhole cover. Goodbye, home sweet home.
RaphaelHello, cruel world. Come on.

SplinterHow many times have I told you not to sneak up to the surface?
LeonardoAnd, even if the Shredder is still out there, no matter what he throws at us, no matter how he messes with our lives, nothing he does will change the most important thing: that we are family.
MichaelangeloHa ha ha. Leo, that was off the charts on the Sap-O Meter. You been watching way too many after school specials, bro.
RaphaelJust eat your S'Mores and keep quiet, Mikey. Leo's got a point.

MichaelangeloThat a great big serving of Kung Pao Chicken would be really good about now?
ShredderSay farewell to each other while you still can.
