Quotes4

  • Shredder: Your hairy little friend knows me as Oroku Saki, but you may call me... The Shredder.
  • Raphael: A kitchen utensil?
  • Shredder: You would be wise to lose your flippant ways if you wish to join the honorable Foot Clan.
  • Leonardo: Why should we want to do that?
  • Shredder: Because it was I who made you what you are today. If not for me, Hamato Yoshi would never have left Japan. I followed him to this country, where I gained my advanced technology, including my rare experimental mutagen. It was I who caused you to mutate into your humanoid form. You owe everything to me! Don't deny your destiny. Join me.
  • Raphael: Does the phrase "go suck a lemon" hold any meaning to you?
  • Krang: Saki, this is Krang. Report to me at once.
  • [Burp]
  • Shredder: Great! Terrific! We're on the run, and that idiot wants to chitchat. Well, what is it?
  • Krang: Ah, Saki, my old friend.
  • Shredder: I told you, call me the Shredder.
  • Krang: You wouldn't be shredding anything if it weren't for me. I have given you vast technical knowledge... but you have not fulfilled your half of the bargain. My legions are waiting in Dimension X to storm into this world and crush it. All I lack is a body. A body which you have failed to provide for me.
  • Shredder: None of us is safe as long as Hamato Yoshi and his turtles roam the sewers.
  • Krang: Heh. With the body I've designed, no force on Earth could stop me.
  • Shredder: Including myself. That's why I don't trust you, Krang.
  • Krang: And if I gave you a means of defeating your enemies... then would you trust me?
  • Shredder: Possibly. But first, tell me how to defeat the turtles!
  • Krang: You were the one who tried to destroy Yoshi with that mutagen. But instead, he gained the powers of the rats, but suppose Yoshi had been near a more powerful animal.
  • Shredder: Mutate my own people. The possibilities are endless! All I need are animals. HA HA HA HA HA! Killers! HA HA HA! That's quite a brain you've got, Krang.
  • Krang: Oh course it is. It's all I've got.
  • [Burp]
  • Rocksteady: [tied up, before Shredder mutates him] Uh, you sure this is going to give us all them, uh, powers you promised us man?
  • Shredder: Absolutely! Of course, you may have a little trouble getting a date on Saturday night.
  • [Bebop and Rocksteady bump into each other]
  • Shredder: You idiots!
  • Donatello: Mutagen didn't up their IQs any...
