- Donatello: Now remember, from now on your name is Donna Tello.
- Irma Langinstein: Donna Tello... I kinda like that name.
- Donatello: I need your help in picking up my degree at a university.
- Irma Langinstein: Why me?
- Donatello: [shows the envelope from the university] Because they think I'm a miss instead of a mister. What do you say? Huh? Will you pretend to be me?
- Irma Langinstein: Gee... I don't think so.
- Donatello: But, Irma, you'll love it. It's on a beautiful lake.
- Irma Langinstein: Oh, forget it. I get seasick.
- Donatello: It's surrounded by pine trees and flowers.
- Irma Langinstein: I've also got allergies.
- Donatello: And the campus is crawling with eligible men.
- Irma Langinstein: Oh-ho! What are we waiting for? Let's get going.
- [Donatello is waiting for the mail]
- Raphael: Hey, give it a rest, Donatello. Pacing back and forth won't get the mail delivered any sooner.
- Irma Langinstein: [about the university] My, what big buildings you have.
- Guard #2: The better to teach you with, my dear.
- Guard #1: Teach with!
- [both guards laugh]
- Irma Langinstein: Oh, brother.
- Splinter: Have any of you seen Donatello?
- Leonardo: No, master, not for hours.
- Michelangelo: If I know that dude, he's probably hanging out at the library.
- [at the university, Donatello is clinging to a ledge on the building]
- Donatello: Actually, Michelangelo's right. I am hanging out at the library.
- Burne Thompson: April O'Neil, get in here!
- April O'Neil: You bellowed, Mr. Thompson?
- Burne Thompson: There's something mysterious going on at Bottomless Lake upstate.
- [Vernon enters]
- April O'Neil: Bottomless Lake?
- Burne Thompson: Suddenly, thousands of fish are overflowing the lake. I want you to get up there pronto.
- Vernon Fenwick: Sounds dangerous, chief. Maybe I should go along just in case there's trouble.
- Burne Thompson: Oh, good idea, Vernon. Good, good, good, good. Some of those minnows might be mighty fierce.
- Vernon Fenwick: Uh, uh... Fierce minnows? Uh, on second thought, I better stick around here and guard the home front.
- April O'Neil: Too late, Vernon. You've made your riverbed, now lie in it.
- Michelangelo: [about his fish] I'm worried, dudes. Maxwell is acting totally stressed.
- Raphael: Maybe all those pizza crumbs are making him hyper.
- Michelangelo: No possible way. I always scrape off the anchovies.
- Donatello: Hey, and listen to this. I've been invited to the university to receive my degree in person.
- Raphael: [looks at the envelope] Yeah? Well, I hope you got the right dress for the occasion.
- Donatello: Dress?
- Raphael: It's addressed to "Miss Donna Tello".
- Michelangelo: Whoa, it looks like the prof's expecting a dudette, not a dude, dude.
- Raphael: [chuckles] And definitely not a turtle.
- April O'Neil: Look, Vernon, it's Irma. What's she doing here?
- Vernon Fenwick: I think we're about to find out.
- Dr. Sopho: And now, fellow scientists, the announcement you've all been waiting to hear. I have selected Miss Donna Tello, a woman whose genius matches my own, almost, to be my partner in a momentous scientific experiment.
- [the audience applauds]
- April O'Neil: Why would he call her Miss Donna Tello?
- Vernon Fenwick: Better question: Why would he want her to be his partner?
