The following is a list of quotes from the seventh season (referred to as Back to the Sewer) of the 2003 series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It's Ninja Time!
In the city, on the scene, underground, and in between,
There's a mean, green team of heroes like you've never seen!
And when the villains and turtles fight, (Let's GO!)
It's gonna be one shell of a sight!
You know the turtles got your back!
(BACK!) Back to the Sewer!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Back! (BACK!) Back to the Sewer!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
(Roll call!)
Leonardo!
Donatello!
Raphael, Michelangelo!
(I love bein' a turtle!)
There's a mean, green team of heroes like you've never seen!
And they're doin' everything they can (Let's GO!)
To stop evil Shredder's plan!
Oh yeah, the turtles are back!
(BACK!) Back to the Sewer!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Back! (BACK!) Back to the Sewer!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! (BACK!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! (BACK!) Back to the Sewer!

Tempus Fugit

  • This marks the last appearance of Viral.

Viral: What? Where am I? These antiquated programming codes. These rudimentary data pulses. This must be what the primitive humans once called the internet. What a pathetic and feeble display. [flies over] How long must I search in this archaic netherworld before finding something with enough power to repair my damages. What is this? It appears to be some sort of data vault. Why, this emanates a power source far superior to this otherwise ancient technology. I will draw its power into my matrix and escape this outmoded cyberspace and dispose of the turtles as I did their feeble master. [ties to access the vault but it won't open] Strange. I am unable to access it. This rudimentary piece of tech will not defy my will. [Suddenly, A virus emerged from the symbol, and started to affect Viral. Her data started to get reformed, killing her as the body burst from it. A new Shredder was born.]
Cyber Shredder: I live!

Karate Schooled

  • This marks the debut appearance of Khan.

[At Khan’s dojo, now almost completely demolished. Khan slowly pushes his way up out of a pile of debris. A voice sounds from behind him.]
Cyber Shredder: Khan.
[Khan turns. The computer that was hidden behind the gong projects an image of the Cyber Shredder.]
Khan: Oh! Master Shredder? I-I knew you would return. [drops to his hands and knees.] I have been rebuilding your army, my master. [stands again.] Preparing for this day. But, the Turtles have been….
Cyber Shredder: The Turtles! You must not allow them to interfere. I will soon free myself from this cyber world and resurrect the Foot. The Turtles must be destroyed.
Khan: As you will it, Master Shredder.

Something Wicked

[Open inside the Turtle’s Lair. Donatello is hard at work on his computer systems, while his brothers are sprawled out sleeping behind him. Serling is powered down, cables hooked to his body, and he recharges. Donatello rubs his eyes, clearly tired, and goes back to work. Suddenly he sees something that startles him.]
Donatello: Huh? Yes! [He rushes back at shakes Leonardo.] Wake up! [He shakes Michelangelo.] Guys, guys! [He rubs Raphael head.] Wake up!
[Donatello jumps back quickly as Raphael growls and swings at him. The Turtles and Serling, now unhooked from the cables, join Donatello at a monitor.]
Leonardo: What is it, Donny?
Donatello: I traced the binary code from the transmission I established with Master Splinter and located the source. [He taps a few keys and an image of Master Splinter, inside a small cube, floats forward.]
Michelangelo: Master Splinter?
Leonardo: Father!
Raphael: Why ain’t he talking? Donny! What gives?
Donatello: What you’re looking at is just one small piece of Master Splinter. A data bit that contains only a fragment of his essence.
Raphael: Uh, Donny, explain it to me like I was Mikey.
Michelangelo: Hey!
Donatello: It’s what I’ve been working on these past few weeks. Trying to find out what happened to Master Splinter after Viral blasted him with that decompiler. And it’s as I suspected. Master Splinter’s in cyberspace, apparently separated into what could be thousands of these tiny bits. He must have been transported there with Viral when she made her escape. There are still so many questions that remain, so many variables to determine. But even so, our next move is clear.
Michelangelo: It is?
Donatello: Yes. We’re rescuing Master Splinter by going into cyberspace and getting those bits.

The Engagement Ring


Casey: Will you married me?


Hacking Stockman

[Open on a nighttime city skyline. Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael are running the rooftops.]
Michelangelo: Wahoo! Check this move! [He does a cartwheel off one rooftop to the next.] I’m awesome! Waha! Don’t try this at home! Shell-tastic! Bombs away!
[Raphael and Leonardo leap off of a rooftop side-by-side. Michelangelo jumps off right behind them.]
Michelangelo: Incoming! [He grabs an antenna, swings around it several times and then lands at his brother’s feet.] Thank you, New York! Goodnight! [starts playing air guitar and making guitar noises – very loudly. Lights start coming on in buildings all around them.]
New Yorker: [shouting] Will you cut out that racket!
Michelangelo: Do we rock, or do we rock?
Raphael: You just rocked half of downtown right out of bed, stealth boy.
Leonardo: [checks his shell phone.] Actually, that was our best time yet on the eastside rooftop run. Great job. [He and Michelangelo give each other a high-three]
Raphael: Ah, it don’t count, not without Donny.
Michelangelo: Yeah, it’s totally weird sans the D-man. He hasn’t left the lair in like – forever.
Leonardo: He feels responsible for what happened to Master Splinter. I guess we’re just gonna have to get used to being a threesome for a while.
[An alarm sounds nearby.]
Raphael: Ah, the sweet sound of trouble.

Incredible Shrinking Serling


Splinter: Whose toy is this?
Young Turtles: Mine!
Splinter: I see. My sons, your relationship to each other is more important than your relationship to things. Until you learn that and learn to share, this toy is off limits. [He tosses Serling into a nearby chest.] You must never allow possessions to possess you, for that leads to obsession. Do you understand?
Young Turtles: Yes, Sensei.
Splinter: [stands and faces his sons.] Good. And now, young ninjas, it’s bedtime.
Young Turtles: Aw. Come on. Right now? I’m not tired. [walk away, still fussing]
Serling: [peeks out of the box.] Thank goodness for the wisdom of the talking rat. I’m saved! And until the next time jump, I can think of nowhere else I’d rather be than inside this chest.

SuperQuest

Virtual Reality Check

City Under Siege

Super Power Struggle

  • This is the only episodes in the series to not feature Leo and Donnie (despite being mentioned).

[Open on a view of New York City, circa 1968. A four-armed robot with red eyes suddenly appears in the sky. Battling the robot is a superhero dressed in green tights and wearing a glowing green cape. They exchange blows and then the superhero, who has the letter “M” emblazoned on the front of his shirt, punches the robot hard enough to send it spinning backwards. Jets on the robot’s feet slow it down and it quickly rights itself before shooting a laser blast from its chest. The superhero counters with twin green laser beams from his eyes. The two energy blasts collide, and the resulting explosion throws the robot into a billboard and the superhero backwards into another billboard. Both combatants regain their feet and fly at each other to grapple in mid-air. The robot gets behind the superhero and catches him in a Nelson hold.]


Wedding Bells and Bytes

  • This is followed by Turtles Forever movie, which takes place a few years later.

Splinter: Uh, wedding?
Raphael: Yeah. Casey and April.



Professor Honeycutt: And so by the powers vested in me, by Planet D'Hoonnib it gives me great pleasure to pronounce you, Casey Jones and you, April O'Neil, man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
[Casey and April kiss and the audience cheered. Then the episode ends, ending the series.]
