Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003–2010): Season 5, Episode 6 - Membership Drive - full transcript
[laser blasts]
[Mikey] I've always kind of
thought my brothers and I
were magnets for trouble.
And I'm right, we are.
But we're nothing compared
to superheroes.
[laser blasts]
[electric humming]
Take the Justice Force.
They can't lift a finger
without trouble finding them.
They need
a new member, or two.
Simple enough, right?
Put an ad in Super Hero Weekly,
hang a "Help Wanted" sign
outside of your impenetrable
fortress of super dudes.
[groans]
And score some new
teammates. Easy!
Sorry, true believer,
nothing's easy
when you're a superhero.
[groaning]
[explosion]
[laser blasts]
[yells]
The Justice Force's membership
drive just went to shell.
Ah!
The only question is--
Am I gonna survive long enough
to submit my application?

[Agent Bishop]
Stockman, what do you want?
A new piece of alien wreckage
from the invasion
has been uncovered.
From the report,
it could be a power core.
Most of the space debris
has long been cleared away,
This could be
the Earth Protection Force's
last chance to find
something of value.
Take a commando unit,
retrieve the piece,
and report back.
It's always a pleasure
doing business with you,
Agent Bishop.
[symphonic music]
[electronic jazz music]
[Leonardo]
You put what in the trunk?
[Donatello] Jet Engines,
every taxi in New York
should have them.
It's also got retractable armor.
I incorporated
a lot of Adam's ideas.
He would've loved
working on this.
[reporter]
We interrupt this program
for breaking news.
We now go to the scene.
[female reporter]
Rumors that the superhero team
known as the Justice Force
is expanding,
have been confirmed.
Channel 6 News
has just learned that
while the team has recently
added two new members
they plan to continue the drive
with hopes of inviting several
more heroes into their ranks.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
I'm thinking it might be
a good idea
to talk to the Justice Force
about the Shredder.
I was thinking that Mikey
is gonna freak out
when he hears this.
[Mikey] Behold!
The next member
of the Justice Force--
The new, improved,
Turtle Titan.
And I was right.
Mikey, the Justice Force
could be powerful allies
against the Shredder.
They're not gonna
take us seriously
if you're goofing around.
But come on,
how cool would it be?
Me, a member
of the Justice Force.
I'm finishing up the taxi,
and Raph's out blowing off steam
with Casey,
but if you guys wanna get
to the Justice Tower
in superhero style,
I've got just the thing.
Strap down your shells
and prepare yourselves...
for the sewer sled.
Woo-hoo!
Yeah!
Agent Bishop will be furious.
This is useless.
Completely burnt out.
What a waste of my time,
my talent--
huh?
[electronic beeping]
That's odd.
This calls for
further investigation.
Let's have a closer look,
shall we?
Nanobots?
Bring out
the particular collector.
We're bringing something back.
Bring out
the particular collector.
We're bringing something back.
You think you got what it takes
to be a hero?
Well, think again!
You punks got invited
to come for an interview
with the Justice Force.
Well, whoopty do.
You think that toy of yours
makes you a hero, arrow-boy?
Uh... [mutters]
And, you, moleculo.
You shrink.
You really think pushing
that little button on your belt
is gonna help you
win a fight, tiny?
Stand up straight, boy!
Gauntlet.
You think you're special
because of those power gloves?
You think you can slug it out
with super-villains,
tough guy? Huh?
You think you're ready?
Just give me something to fight!
Anything, anyone.
I'll show you.
The Turtle Titan has arrived!
A super-villain attack?
You picked the wrong place,
at the wrong time!

Is it the new costume?
[yells]
Seriously, if you're not diggin'
the new threads,
I'm open to suggestions.
Look, there's been
a misunderstanding.
We're not here to fight.
Oh, Leonardo and Michelangelo,
Come to sign up, have you?
- No.
- Yes.
We're here to talk
to the Justice Force
about a serious threat.
Well, then, you young fellas
had better go on up.
Gee, thanks, Z.L.
I hate line cutters!
Oh, these superheroes today.
Simply, amazing.
They don't seem
to be Triceratonal Federation
in origin.
And the only human
brilliant enough to create
this kind of technology is me.
Are you certain you can
reprogram them?
Please.
The control ship I'm placing
on one of the Nanobots
will send the programming out
to each and every one of them.
Millions of Nanobots,
under my control.
The possibilities are endless.
All under my control, Doctor.
Activate them.
Oh-- of course,
Agent Bishop.
Ah!
Family... family...
Were you aware
that it was intelligent?
No, no, I--
Foreign programming detected
taking over.
Error-- weapons protocol.
No, must escape.
[glass smashes]
[groans]
What is it doing to my lab,
Stockman?
Amazing!
The Nanobots are
reconfiguring our technology.
Rebuilding it to--
[gasp]
[metallic clanking]
Error-- no, I don't--
error.
[groans]
Error.
Huh.
This isn't possible.
How is it resisting
my programming?
No, no...
Error, error.
Hmm.
[grunts]
Tell me, Doctor,
is this your idea of control?
[gasp]
I'm beginning to understand
why your former employer kept
relieving you of body parts.
No, seriously.
We've got these
mystical abilities now.
I got super speed.
Whoa, this place is so cool.
Ooh, can I sit
in the Justice chair?
Nobody, Raptarr,
let me be the first to welcome
you to the Justice Force.
I'll be there if you need me.
Your invitation
honors me, Sentry.
Well, I'll be Turtle Titan,
Leonardo, what brings you
to the Justice Force?
Did you come to sign up?
Well, actually--
No, we've come to warn you
about a creature
of great evil and power.
It calls itself the Shredder.
The world waits
with baited breath
as the Justice Force
continues deliberation.
[people screaming]
[smash]
Let's get away.
Error, must obey.
Justice Force,
dedicating their lives
to the defense of life,
keeping the world safe
from villainy and harm.
"Safe from villainy and harm..."
The Justice Force can help me.
Error, error.
Stockman, control, obey.
Error.

That's a super-villain?
I think I forgot to fill out
some membership papers!
Must destroy Justice Force.
And then, they were transported
back to New York.
The demon Shredder could
be resurrected at any time.
He may be here already.
The Justice Force
will be at your disposal
when the time comes.
[joyful] Ha!
Wow.
So, uh,
if you should notice anything
weird going on in the city...
Huh?
I'm noticing something
right now.
Come on, come on,
fight!
No, stay back,
must find Justice Force.
Error.
Argh!
Destroy Justice Force.
You wanna take down
the Justice Force?
You'll have to go through
bowmaster first.
[groan]
[groans]
Help, somebody!
[panting]
[footsteps]
Help.
[victorious music]
[weak groans]
[victorious music continues]
Give it up, giant robot,
The Justice Force is here!
You've got to admit, Leo,
that sounds pretty cool.

Attack.
You know, maybe I'll join
the Justice Force
some other time.

Oh, no, Mikey, that voice,

[both]
Nano?
Everyone, stop!
We have to get it away
from all technology.
Ananda, get out!
Nano's not your
run-of-the-mill
giant killer robot.
[beeping]
Warning, warning.
Security breach--
firewall failure.
[beeping]
No, it's taking
control of my Dombot.
Ananda, get out of there!
[groan]
[effort]
This doesn't make any sense.
Why would Nano attack
the Justice Force?
Yeah, he always seemed
like such a well-adjusted
little rampaging robot.
Target--
metal head, eliminate.
[efforts]
[groaning]
[grunts]
Ugh.
[groaning]
Ah.
[groans in pain]
[groans]
Now that's
a Justice Force Rescue!
Oh, no, not my costume!
Aw, my favorite statue.
[screams]
[effort]
Ananda, you can communicate
with machines, right?
Talk to it. Talk to Nano.
We think he's being controlled.
You're right,
there's a control chip
on one of the Nanobots.
It's spreading a foreign program
through its system.
I can sense it,
but it's blocking me.
The chip will
have to be destroyed
at the source.
but it's nano-small.
How the shell
are we supposed to--
[groans]
Aarrgghh!
[groans]
Wait.
Leo, I so have a plan.
Trust me.
[Leo] It better be a good one.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Come on, how hard can it be?
[beeping]
Aarrgghh!
[warping sound]
All right, we're got to find
the nanobot with
the control chip.
Uh, Leo,
I think it might find us.
[groans]
There it is!
[struggling]
Uhh...
Ananda, look out!
[confused groan]
[groans]
Got it.
[victorious music]
Now to finish this fiend.
No, it's okay.
I've been in communication
with him.
He doesn't want to fight.
He's not evil.
Yeah, Nano's a good kid.
He just fell in
with a bad crowd.
He's been manipulated
his whole life.
but you guys--
you could help him.
Thank you, Justice Force.
And thank you, turtle creatures.
My programming
has evolved much since
my previous encounters with you.
I apologize fo
my lack of maturity.
That was some good thinking
there, Mikey.
Way to go.
It's just your classic,
good-robot-under-evil-control
-forced-to-attack
-superhero scenario.
No biggie.
Now, let's talk
about my membership.
[female reporter]
And, with the addition of this
mysterious Nano,
the Justice Force completed
their membership drive.
[all]
Nano?
Don't ask.
What's the matter, Mikey?
Didn't make the cut?
In your dreams,
you wannabe.
The Turtle Titan is an official
member of the Justice Force.
Of course, I'm only on duty
every third Wednesday
of every fourth month,
and February 29th,
when there is one.
