Quotes From TMNT 2012

Season 1 Episode 17: TCRI

Donnie: “he’s also the one who likes to grab my face..AND SHAKE ME LIKE A RAGDOLL”

Mikey: “*laughter* good times”

Donnie: “zip it!”

Mikey: “oh come on..he’s a pussy cat who likes to grab your face and SHAKE YOU LIKE A RAGDOLL-“

~~~

Mikey: “who can hold their breath? We can”

Raph: “we wouldn’ta had to if you hadn’t kept swimming off to go pick up trash”

~~~

Donnie: “WHY DO YOU KEEP GRABBING MY FACE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FACE-?!”

Raph: “do you want alphabetically or in descending order of grossness?”

~~~

Donnie: “it’s so familiar..”

Mikey: “the Olympics!”

Donnie: “no!”

Mikey: “I got it..the Olympics!”

Donnie: “stop guessing. Obviously it’s a Kraang symbol”

Leo: “but from where?”

Mikey: “the Olympics!!”

~~~

Donnie: “okay..okay..I’m calm, and- GOT IT!”

~~~

Mikey: “*humming*”

Donnie: “are you..humming the Olympics theme..?”

Mikey: “it seemed appropriate”

~~~

Leo: “let’s get inside where it’s safe”

[open hatch to elevator: Kraang surprise]

Turtles: “AH-“

For people who want to say Splinter neglects the other Turtles.

"Just because you are my least favorite student, it does not mean you are my least favorite son."

Now, to list Splinter being a father/teacher.

First up is Donnie moments.

His lessons have to do with the balance of body and mind and heart. Also, responsibility for his actions as well as other people.

Season 1:

Ep6 Metalhead

Ep7 Monkey Brains

Ep16 The Pulverizer

Ep 17 TCRI

Season 2: Keep in mind that the Turtles are coming into their own by this point

Ep4 Mutagen Man Unleashed

Next is Raph's episodes with Splinter.

He throws in a mixture of lessons with Raph, not just anger.

Season 1:

Ep3 Turtle Temper

Ep8 Never say Xever

Ep19 Baxter's Gambit

Season 2:

Ep 7 Slash and Destroy

Here, we have Leo teaching/leadership moments.

I noticed that Splinter is most strict with his eldest son and often has him be responsible for his brothers.

Season 1:

Ep 4 New Friend, Old Enemy

Ep 13 New Girl In Town

Ep 25 Showdown

Season 2

Ep 10 Fungus Humungous

Ep 22 Vengeance is Mine

And now, for episodes where he's a father/teacher to them all. (Or at least doesn't just focus on Leo)

Season 1

Ep 5 I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman

Ep9 The Gauntlet

Ep10 Panic in The Sewers

Ep11 Mousers Attack

Ep 13 New Girl in Town (Raph and Leo)

Ep14 I, Monster

Ep22 The Pulverizer Returns

Season 2: Again, the Turtles start to come into their own

Ep 1 The Mutation Situation

Ep 16 The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman

Now, admittedly, there aren't as many moments where Splinter has solo time with Mikey.

Season 1

Ep21 Karai's Vendetta

Season 2

Ep 5 Mikey gets Shellacne

Most of his solo hero moments happen when sensei isn't around.

But, guess what. Next time, I'm dedicating a whole post to the times Splinter compliments Mikey and also goes easier on him in seasons 1 and 2.
