the sewer lair.

Leo: Everybody be quiet.

Mikey: You be quiet.

Leo: I'm literally whispering.

Mikey: I'll make white noises.

Donnie: Mikey, stop.

Leo: Dude, that makes it louder.

[A light clicks on.]

Splinter: Boys, where have you been? I've been freaking out!

Donnie: We're sorry, Dad. Listen...

Mikey: It was this cat, and you know I'm scared of cats, so...

Raph: Yeah, the cat.

Splinter: Wait a second. You said you would go shopping, then come right back. Where were you?

Donnie: Uh...

Leo: We're really sorry Splinter some of the guys wanted to see a movie. I tried to talk 'em out of it but then we met this cute girl named Angie.

Raph + Donnie + Mikey: Cute!?

Splinter: What? You watch a movie with the humans? Ugh!

Mikey: You ratted us out.

Splinter: Hey! Don't use that word that way.

Leo: I mean, it's 2023.

Mikey: Sorry, Dad.

Donnie: It wasn't that big a deal! We just watched a movie and came back! We're fine!

Splinter: Hmm. You forgot, huh? You don't remember why human are disgusting monsters? Why they're dangerous? Why they're gonna milk us for our blood?

Raph: We don't even have nipples!

Splinter: I'm gonna tell the story again.

[Everyone complains.]

Splinter: Just for that, I tell you the long version.

Donnie: No, no, no!

[Splinter chuckles]

Splinter: It all started 15 years ago. I was young rat in my 20s. Look at me! I was so cute. I was on top of the world. No, I was the bottom of the world. It was terrible! Nobody liked me. I had no friends. Raccoons didn't like me. Dogs don't like me. You know who hate me the most? Humans! I had one friend. He was a cockroach. We got along very well. His name was Kevin. And then I ate him. One day, everything changed. You was the first things I met that didn't want to kill me or eat me. I couldn't just leave you there. You was covered in this ooze that someone dump in the sewers. Whatever this wooze was, it transformed us. Because I was older, I became older rat man. You guys was babies, so you stayed baby turtle creatures. If you think about that, it couldn't make more sense. It was weird, but we became a family. You were obsessed with the human world. So I decide to give a shot.

[The mutants emerge in the heart of Times Square. They take in the massive buildings and colorful advertisements. One human noticed the rat man]

Woman: Oh, I am so sorry. Excuse me.

Splinter: It didn't go well.

Woman: Oh, my God, it's a rat man!

[People gasped and turned around.]

Humans: Rat man? Everybody, look! It's a rat man!

Man: It's not a rat man, it's just a bad Mickey Mouse costume. It's real! I touched it!
