This is a transcript for Windfall, the eleventh episode of season one of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (TV series).

	Open inside an old man’s apartment. The man is in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee and smiling at the lottery ticket that he’s holding. He walks out to his living room, still looking at the ticket, and stops short as a figure blocks his path.
Silver	How do you do? Ah, a winning lottery ticket.
	The old man drops his cup, which shatters and splashes Silver’s pants.
Old Man	Don’t hurt me!
Silver	Hey! What is it, my breath?
	The old man runs to his bathroom and pulls the door shut behind him.
Old Man	Help! Leave me alone!
Silver	Ah, so it’s gonna be that way, huh? Don’t you think hiding in the potty is a little immature? [The old man walks to the back of the bathroom as Silver knocks on the door.] Did you know the odds of winning the New York lotto are over a million to one? [The old man sits on the toilet seat, which is next to a window.] Make this door go away.
Old Man	Oh, no, go away, hairy monkey!
	The two Monkey Thieves with Silver rip the door off its hinges.
Monkey Thief	Poof, no more door, boss.
Old Man	It’s mine! It’s mine!
	He stands up and holds the ticket out of the open window.
Silver	Uh-uh. That would be very naughty.
Old Man	It’s mine, you can’t have it.
	Silver finds a silver flask on a shelf and takes it.
Silver	Pure silver. Silver likes silver.
	He puts it in his pocket.
Old Man	No!
Silver	Give me that ticket, gramps! [He darts forward and grabs for the ticket, but the old man drops it outside.] No!
Old Man	You’ll never get it now!
Silver	Get that ticket! [The Monkey Thieves run from the apartment. The ticket floats towards the ground and Silver runs out of the apartment.] This is gonna be one of those days!
	The ticket floats down to a sewer grate and then falls through. Michaelangelo comes skipping around a corner, singing, and steps on the ticket, which sticks to his foot.
Michaelangelo	~Bambina, bambina, bambina just now. And just now bambina…~ [He walks into the lair, whistling, and on the stairs, he realizes something is on his foot.] Ick. Stepped in something. [He pulls it off his foot and sniffs it.] Phew. Could have been worse. Gurgling gut. [He tosses the ticket on top of a newspaper on the kitchen table and starts taking things from the refrigerator.] Food! Ninja-licious. [He sits at the table with a bowl of cereal and pops open the top of a soda can.] Breakfast of champions. [He pulls the newspaper closer and starts pouring the soda on his cereal as he looks at the paper. The winning lottery numbers are at the top of the page, with the found ticket next to them.] Huh, lotto. A lot o’ money! Huh? [The soda overflows the bowl, unnoticed.] I won! [He picks up the ticket.] I w-w-won a hundred and twelve million dollars! Mega-shellage!

{Opening sequence; title song}

	Silver and several of his Monkey Thieves walk through the sewer tunnels.
Silver	Don’t step in anything squishy. That ticket must have landed around here somewhere. [He looks up at the grate overhead.] This must be the place where it fell in. Find it, you dopes.
Clarence	It’s really gross in here.
Silver	It’s gonna be a lot grosser in here when I bite your head off! Find me that ticket, knucklehead.
Clarence	You heard the boss, go search the joint.
	Michaelangelo’s voice echoes through the tunnels.
Michaelangelo	Heh, heh, I’m rich! I’m rich, yeah! I’m really, really rich!
Silver	Who’s rich?
	In the lair, Michaelangelo does a back flip onto the top of the train car.
Michaelangelo	Whoohoo, I’m rich! I won! I am the world’s first millionaire turtle!
Silver	Boys, I think we found our ticket.
	The gang starts following the sounds of Michaelangelo’s voice. Meanwhile, the other Turtles return to the lair.
Michaelangelo	I can buy a jet plane!
Venus	Michaelangelo?
Michaelangelo	I can buy ten jet planes!
Donatello	Mikey’s flipped. Some kind of reaction to too much junk food, I think.
Raphael	Hey, yo, man, you’re scaring our roaches.
Michaelangelo	Ha, ha, I don’t care. I’ll buy the roaches their own sewer. Shell-adelic!
	He does a forward flip off of the train car and then holds up the lottery ticket.
Leonardo	You wanna clue us in?
Michaelangelo	How’s this for a clue?
Venus	What is that?
Michaelangelo	This, my mutatious green friend, is a ticket for the New York state lottery. The drawing for which was last night. The jackpot for which is one hundred and twelve million greenbacks! I hold the winning ticket. Give green time a whole new meaning.
Leonardo	A hundred and twelve million dollars?
	He snatches the ticket from Michaelangelo’s hand.
Raphael	I could buy a fleet of turbo powered hogs. Raph and roll.
Donatello	I could have, like, a whole lab with electromagnetic oscilloscopes and waveform analyzers.
Michaelangelo	Maybe if you’re good.
Leonardo	I could open my own dojo. Turtlefied ninja training. I could start my own ninja clan, become a ninja master!
	Michaelangelo takes the ticket back.
Michaelangelo	Whoa, let’s keep our shells on. This is my money we’re spending. After all, I found this puppy. [Suddenly, alarms go off and lights start flashing.] Whoopsie!
Donatello	That’s the perimeter alarm.
	The others run to see what’s wrong. Leonardo taps Michaelangelo on the shoulder.
Leonardo	Mikey, Mikey. How about, um, Master Leo’s….
Michaelangelo	We need to talk.
Leonardo	…Ninja Hut, Mikey.
	They walk over to join the others at Donatello’s desk. Donatello taps the keyboard on his computer.
Donatello	Let’s see who’s knocking. [He pulls up an image of the sewer tunnel schematics.] There oughta be a few satellites passing overhead. I’ll uplink to one of them. We should get a good view.
Venus	The sewer is full of people.
Raphael	Well, it ain’t the lottery commission with their prize money. Let’s hit it!
Donatello	Yeah, I’m with you, Raph.
Michaelangelo	Ha, ha, lottery commission, ha, ha, ha. [He kisses the lottery ticket and tucks it in his belt before turning to join the others.] I’m rich, I’m rich.
	The Turtles sneak through the tunnels.
Donatello	Hey, Daddy Warbucks, you think we can fit a monorail down here?
Leonardo	Shh, silence! Someone’s coming.
	Silver and his gang turn a corner.
Silver	So I says, “hey, you big baboon, who you calling a chimp, chump?”
Venus	It’s Silver.
Leonardo	King Kong in a suit.
Raphael	Hey, what’s that funky monkey doing on our turf, huh?
Silver	Okay, stupid, you go that way. You look over there, dummy. I smell lotto tickets.
Leonardo	And I smell rotten bananas, jerk!
	The Turtles leap out of hiding.
Silver	I forgot how rude you sewer dwellers are capable of being.
Leonardo	Stop monkeying around and tell us what you want.
Silver	Don’t be like that, greenie. I’m just here on business.
Raphael	Do you dress like a giant banana on purpose?
Silver	Insults aside, I’ve lost something. You see, it’s just an itty-bitty piece of paper, but to me it holds great sentimental value.
	Michaelangelo slaps a hand over the ticket in his belt.
Michaelangelo	I found it, fair and square!
Raphael	Big mouth.
Silver	That’s because it was lost while I was stealing it, fair and square. One of my many informants on the street told me about some little old man who had a winning lottery ticket. [Clarence has circled around behind the Turtles.] The guy’s like ninety, so how much use could he get out of it, right?
Mick	Right.
Silver	Give me my lotto ticket.
Leonardo	Nobody’s handing anything over!
Silver	I ain’t asking, greenie.
Leonardo	You don’t make demands around here. And stop calling me greenie!
	Clarence twirls a rope and then throws it at Michaelangelo. It wraps around Michaelangelo’s waist and Clarence yanks on the rope. Michaelangelo spins out of control towards the goon, and Clarence snatches the ticket out of his belt.
Michaelangelo	Hey! Thief! Not fair! Finders' keepers, stealers weepers!
Raphael	Shall we?
Turtles	Green time!
Silver	No way! Get ‘em boys!
	A Monkey Thief attacks Venus, who tosses him to the side.
Venus	Nice suit! [She turns to Clarence.] You’re not going anywhere!
	Venus throws a red ball on the ground. It breaks and Clarence steps in the liquid glue that was inside and is stuck in place.
Clarence	Ahh! Whoa! Ah!
	The Turtles fight the other Monkey Thieves.
Raphael	Badaboom, baby!
Donatello	Kick it! [Several goons pile on him.] Hello, covered in thugs here!
	Michaelangelo walks over to Clarence and takes the ticket from his hand.
Michaelangelo	Way to go, Venus! Yeah, thanks for making this dude stick around.
	Mick walks up and grabs the ticket.
Mick	Thank you very much!
	A Monkey Thief grabs Venus from behind, but she twists out of his grip.
Venus	A gentleman does not sneak up on a lady. I sir, am a lady! [She kicks him to the ground.] You sir, are not gentleman.
	She goes to drop a kick on him, but he catches her leg and throws her down. A trio of Monkey Thieves leap on Raphael and drive him to the ground.
Raphael	Hey, yo, I’m drowning here! Hey!
	The Monkey Thieves play keep away from Michaelangelo.
Michaelangelo	No fair! Gimmee!
Monkey Thieves	He’s got it. Hey, he’s got it. He’s got it.
Michaelangelo	I hate playing keep away!
Dick	Pin in!
Monkey Thieves	Wait, no, I think I got it.
Michaelangelo	It’s like having a bad dream!
	Leonardo pushes him to the side.
Leonardo	This oughta help you wake up. [He pulls his sword and starts slicing the pants off of each of the four Monkey Thieves.] Somebody’s a little too big for their ugly britches! Feeling a draft? [He grabs the ticket from Mick’s hand.] Thank you! Have a little shame, guys, huh?
Mick	I ain’t getting paid enough for this.
	They Monkey Thieves start pulling up their pants as Leonardo dashes off. One of the goons pulls a trip wire up in front of Leonardo and he falls.
Silver	Aw, did Turtle fall down go boom boom? [He takes the lottery ticket out of Leonardo’s hand.] Much obliged, greenie.
Leonardo	My name’s not greenie!
	Silver steps on Leonardo’s carapace, forcing him back down again.
Silver	Ah, but to me you’ll always be little greenie.
	The Monkey Thieves have formed a circle around Michaelangelo and are passing him around to each other.
Michaelangelo	It’s like some kind of weird nightmare of pantless gangsters.
	Raphael fights loose, but even more goons pile on him.
Raphael	Ah, come on, you want a piece of me?
Silver	I think it’s time to collect our lotto winnings.
	He laughs and walks away. The Monkey Thieves follow.
Raphael	Hey, you had enough, huh?
	Leonardo struggles to stand up.
Leonardo	Name is Leonardo.
Dick	Bye-bye, greenie.
Monkey Thief	Ciao, greenie.
Mick	It’s been a hoot there, greenie.
Raphael	You all right, Donnie.
Donatello	Couldn’t be better.
	An angry Leonardo leaps to his feet.
Leonardo	This isn’t over, do you hear me?
Michaelangelo	My lotto ticket.
Venus	That was rather embarrassing.
Michaelangelo	I got beat by four guys with no pants.
Raphael	That happens to the best of us. Let’s go.
	Clarence is still glued to the floor.
Venus	Bye! Oh, thank you for sticking around.
	The Turtles all leave, and Clarence is alone.
Clarence	Hello? Anybody?
	The Turtles all enter the lair, each groaning and clutching their injuries.
Michaelangelo	My head is cracked like a peanut.
Leonardo	That would make you a nut cake.
Splinter	All right, what happened? Somebody speak now! [They all start talking at once.] Stop! Why do you always insist on babbling all at once?
Michaelangelo	Well, I found this lottery ticket fair and square and it turns out, it won.
Leonardo	Yeah, but then Silver ripped off the lotto ticket.
Venus	He claims it is his.
Donatello	But he actually snagged it from some old guy.
Raphael	So, we all went ninja on the monkey.
Michaelangelo	Venus threw her armored bead, made a pool of goo.
Venus	Michaelangelo got beat up by some guys with no pants.
Michaelangelo	Did we really need to mention that?
Splinter	Enough! You will forget about this nonsense.
Michaelangelo	Are you kidding? That money’s more mine than Silver’s! I mean, he stole the ticket. I just found it.
Splinter	You can never claim it, Michaelangelo. You would expose yourself and the rest of us. If Silver says it is his, so be it.
Michaelangelo	But, but, but Silver’s just gonna spend it zillions of bananas and monkey stuff. I could actually put the money to good use. I could give half to endangered species. Well, maybe not half. I-I could give a quarter. Well, ah, well let’s say ten percent.
Splinter	We will not discuss this further. Silver has the ticket now anyway. It is just as well.
Michaelangelo	But, but….
Splinter	This conversation is over. Start preparing dinner.
	He walks away.
Michaelangelo	Aww, if I had that lotto ticket, we could have pizzas flown in from Italy! Ahh!
	Leonardo stands at the kitchen table with his swords as he prepares to chop up a head of lettuce. When the lettuce is all chopped, he wipes down his blades.
Leonardo	Ninja salad. [Seated next to the table, Michaelangelo angrily shaves a carrot.] Hey, Mikey, easy with the Ginsu. You’re gonna lose a hand.
Michaelangelo	Ah, Splinter’s whacked! How can he not see what a totally rad opportunity this is?
Raphael	I’m with Mikey. I mean, who says mutants can’t be rich?
Michaelangelo	Bionics, smooth-a-phonics!
Leonardo	Everyone chill! Splinter’s advice is always solid. Besides, the ticket’s gone. What are we gonna do, steal it back?
Venus	Uh-oh.
Michaelangelo	Groovalicious! Excellante! Silver did it to us.
Raphael	Yeah.
Michaelangelo	We can do it right back to him.
Leonardo	I don’t think I like where this is going, Mikey.
Michaelangelo	Don’t you wanna be rich?
Leonardo	Yeah, I do, but you saw how we got whipped by those… those monkey thugs.
Michaelangelo	We need to track the fat ape down.
Raphael	Courtesy of the turtlefied eye in the sky.
Michaelangelo	Chilladellic.
Donatello	Wait a minute. Just ‘cause you come up with something, I gotta go along for the ride?
Michaelangelo	What was that you were saying earlier about a particle accelerator?
Donatello	Okey dokey. Certified turtlefied.
Raphael	Groovy voovy baby.
Michaelangelo	Yeah!
Venus	Wait. I don’t understand. What about what Master Splinter said? Are you just going to ignore him?
Raphael	Dun, dun.
Leonardo	Um, yeah.
Michaelangelo	Yeah, uh-huh.
Raphael	Let’s go!
Michaelangelo	Come on, Venus. This isn’t just moolah, it’s a chance to get out of the sewer and get into the sun. Find out who we really are, maybe see the world and even fall in love.
Venus	We would still be green mutants.
Raphael	Yeah, but it won’t matter. We’ll be mean, green, with big green.
	Donatello is busy working on his computer.
Donatello	I got something. [An image comes up on the screen.] This is Central Park. First, I’ll switch to a thermal scan. [Colors pop up on the screen.] I’ll scan below ground level. [Several red dots appear.] Now, unless there’s a rave in Central Park, I’d say this is Silver’s pad.
Michaelangelo	It’s lotto time.
	They enter the garage area.
Raphael	Heh, heh, heh. Time to get rich!
	He hops on his motorcycle. Everyone else piles into the Humvee, with Leonardo in the driver’s seat.
Leonardo	Let’s hit it!
Raphael	Raph and roll!
	They drive through the city, with Raphael leading the way.
Michaelangelo	One hundred and twelve million, here we come!
	Cut to an image of Central Park at night. Silver’s voice echoes.
Silver	I’m rich! [Silver dances around his hideout, singing, as the Monkey Thieves dance along.] ~I’m a monkey with lots of money, and that’s sweet as honey. I’m an ape with cash and I’m throwing a bash and I… [He suddenly stops to listen.] What was that? Either the rats have taken up tap dancing lessons, or we’ve got company. Fan out! Case the joint! Go!
	Several of the goons take off, while others remain with Silver. Suddenly, smoke bombs go off. The smoke starts to clear and reveals the Turtles.
Silver	Aw, you lowlifes just burnt three holes in my antique thirteenth century rug.
Clarence	Yeah, and it’s old too.
Donatello	Sorry, dude. We’ll buy you a new old rug once you hand over our lotto ticket.
Silver	Ain’t happening, punk. Kick their shells, boys, and this time don’t fuss about leaving survivors.
Leonardo	Do it, Donnie!
Donatello	Roger.
	Donatello drops to one knee as the other Turtles dart to the sides. Michaelangelo swings down on one of the hanging vines.
Michaelangelo	Swinging crib you got here, Silver. Badaboom!
	He kicks down two Monkey Thieves. Silver uses a vine to swing on top of a desk. Donatello has his bō on his shoulder with one end aimed towards a group of Monkey Thieves.
Donatello	Today on the modern outdoorsman, Jim’s gonna show us some new developments in the field of thug fishing. [He fires a net out of the staff and it lands on a pair of the goons.] Certified turtlefied!
	Raphael tangles with a goon at the top of a staircase.
Raphael	Hey, see ya’ next fall!
	He kicks the thug down the stairs.
Silver	Get ‘em! You call that fighting?
	Donatello dodges a punch.
Donatello	Missed me. [He throws the goon against a wall and then jumps backwards to smash him with his shell.] Shellquake!
Silver	I’ve seen tougher squirrel monkeys!
Raphael	Double shell flip into the pool.
	He does a flip off the top of the stairs.
Silver	Lousy flip. Judges give it a one.
	Raphael runs over and jabs his sai into Silver’s feet.
Raphael	Bad monkey.
Silver	Ahh!
Raphael	Man, these stink.
Silver	I’m stuck! Get off of me, you ignorant reptile.
Michaelangelo	Yeah! Hold him steady, Raph! [He swings by on the vine and snatches the lottery ticket out of Silver’s hand.] Thanks, dude!
Dick	I got him boss!
	Dick swings his cane at Raphael’s head, but Raphael ducks and Dick strikes Silver’s legs with the cane.
Silver	Ow! Could that hurt anymore?
	Raphael removes his sai and darts off.
Dick	Oops.
Silver	You like art? [He grabs a painting.] This is what’s known in the criminal world… [He smashes the painting on Dick’s head and shoves the frame down across his arms.] …as being framed. You’ve been framed!
	Dick falls down and so does Silver. Michaelangelo lands and releases the vine.
Michaelangelo	Ta-da! [A goon jumps on his back.] Ah, I’ve got a Monkey Thief on my back. [Another thief runs up and grabs the ticket.] The ticket!
	Venus steps in front of the Monkey Thief and ducks a swing before throwing him against the wall.
Venus	I’ve never fought so many well-dressed men. [She kicks him in the stomach and takes the ticket.] Thank you.
	The Monkey Thief jumps up and drops a flour sack over Venus’ head. Donatello ducks a swing and jabs his staff into a goons toe before hitting him.
Donatello	You okay, Venus?
	The thug takes the ticket from Venus. She manages to struggle out of the sack.
Venus	Couldn’t be better.
	Leonardo blocks the Monkey Thief’s path.
Leonardo	What’s up, bro’? [He ducks two swings.] Missed again. [He grabs a vase as the thief swings again and the thief hits and breaks it.] Oh, that’s gotta be painful. [He takes the ticket as the thief sinks to the floor.] Thank you very much.
Michaelangelo	No, thank you.
	He grabs the ticket away from Leonardo. Silver, still on the floor, groans.
Silver	Ahh.
Michaelangelo	Badaboom!
Raphael	Yeah, let’s split.
	They race up the stairs.
Venus	It’s been lovely.
Leonardo	Sorry about the mess, dudes.
Donatello	The buffet was excellent as usual. Peace! Tata! Catch you later.
Silver	Will somebody get me some ice?
	The Turtles drive back to the lair.
Turtles	Shellage!
Leonardo	It’s Turtle time, guys.
Turtles	It’s green time! Yeah!
	The Turtles enter the lair.
Michaelangelo	I’m rich again.
Donatello	First thing I’m buying is my own satellite.
Leonardo	Leonardo’s Ninja Hut. It’ll be huge. Whoohoo! [He sings.] ~Leonardo’s Ninja Hut~.
Venus	Ninja hut?
Splinter	And exactly where have you been?
Michaelangelo	I know just what you’re gonna say, but we think you’re wrong. We, uh, uh… guys?
Donatello	Yeah.
Splinter	Do you? All of you? I think perhaps that wasn’t the case at first. [He walks up to Venus.] I thought you were stronger. I thought Chung I had taught you better.
Raphael	Don’t bum her out for wanting a better life, just ‘cause you can’t see your way out of the sewer. You know, Master, the sewer really stinks.
Splinter	It is you, Raphael, who cannot see past your own anger, that it is the secrecy and the humility of our existence that will bind us. See what the notion of human wealth is doing to you. If you will not listen to me, listen to your conscience. This money does not belong to you.
Michaelangelo	Like, like, all this money should be wasted on some old dude?
Splinter	Old?
	Michaelangelo covers his mouth with a hand and looks down.
Michaelangelo	Master Splinter, I’ve been a fool. I’m sorry.
	Pan through the city and into the old man’s apartment. He is holding his lotto ticket again as Michaelangelo narrates.
Michaelangelo	So, I snuck into the old dude’s apartment and stuck the lotto ticket in his pocket.
	The Turtles walk through a sewer tunnel.
Raphael	Hey, Mikey, it was a turtlerrific thing to do.
Donatello	Yeah, we’re proud of you, Mikey. Maybe mutants and money just don’t mix.
	Silver and the Monkey Thieves come around a bend in the tunnel. The goons are wheeling Silver around on a hand cart because his lower legs are in casts.
Silver	Aw, how touching.
Michaelangelo	Hey, hey, bigfoot! How are those legs doing?
Silver	Ha, Ha, Ha. You are a real comedian. Tip me forward. [They do, but he starts to fall.] Back, back, back! [The thugs catch him, and the Turtles laugh.] I tried to live in peace and harmony with you nasty green freaks but you can’t seem to keep your scaly noses out of my affairs. So now I suggest you consider me your blood enemy!
Michaelangelo	Are we ever scared.
Silver	I am scary.
Leonardo	The rightful owner of the lotto ticket has cashed it in already and is on his way to a whale watching vacation.
Silver	So, the lotto game’s over. Well, we’re just gonna have to think of a new game to play. Get ‘em boys. Get ‘em!
Venus	Uh, uh, uh!
	She throws down one of her red beads down a smoke billows out of it.
Leonardo	Some other time, King Kong!
Raphael	See you soon, fuzz face!
Michaelangelo	Greed is a terrible thing!
	The Turtles leave under cover of smoke.
Clarence	The Turtles disappeared, boss.
Silver	Uh, I hate it when they do that.
