1	After some robberies of Turtle memorabilia, the Turtles are kidnapped by famous spray inventor Monroe Q. Flem to be a part of his Ninja Turtle collection... permanently!
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* AndIMustScream: Flem plans to coat the Turtles in a special kind of wax to become his permanent display. He chose April to be his test subject.
5	-->'''April:''' No! I just had my legs waxed!
6	* BigNo: Flem screams this as his wax statues are melting.
7	* BigShutUp: Flem screams at one of his goons for clapping when his goal is nearing fulfillment.
8	* CampStraight: Flem is known as "the extravagantly flamboyant collector".
9	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Played with. Flem had a pet turtle as a child, until his mother gave it away. His new large collection of Ninja Turtle artifacts is his way of "getting even with mommy dearest".
10	* TheCollector: Flem
11	* IronicEchoCut:
12	-->'''Flem:''' Wait until you seen what's going to happen to you and your precious turtles. That's really a gas!\
13	'''April:''' Getting gassed means never having to listen to bad jokes.\
14	''(We cut to April hanging above boiling hot wax.)''\
15	'''April:''' I was kidding about the bad jokes!
16	* LaughingGas: When the Turtles corner one of Flem's goons in a truck, he presses a button that releases this, leaving the turtles laughing senseless while he gets away.
17	* LoonyFan: Flem
18	* MechaMooks: Flem's Waxmation Robots.
19	* NoodleIncident:
20	-->'''Leo:''' ''(seeing two biker helmets on display)'' Remember this? The case of the Two-Headed Biker.\
21	'''Don:''' ''(seeing a shovel on display)'' And this was the shovel we used to battle the giant Sumerian slug.\
22	'''Raph:''' Yeah, he was a regular pest.
23	* OhCrap:
24	** Both April and the Turtles when cornered by guard dogs.
25	** Irma, after waking up from her nap, realizing she was supposed to call the Turtles if April doesn't return.
26	* RuleOfThree: Flem using his exotic gases on the turtles.
27	-->'''Raph:''' [[LampshadeHanging Three times in one show.]]
28	* ShoutOut: Flem's pet turtle was named "[[Film/CitizenKane Rosebud]]".
29	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: April and the Turtles heard a strange noise (former, guard dogs; latter, Irma's snoring). They comment that they sound like Michelangelo's stomach.
30	* TakeMeInstead: Leo demands Flem to let April go and volunteers to be his test subject. Flem admires his galant, but can't risk it.
31	-->'''Flem:''' Ninja Turtles are rare and priceless. News anchors, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen.\
32	'''April:''' [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne That tears it! You scuzzy weasel! Wait till I get my hands on you!]]
33	* UnwillingSuspension: Flem has April hang over his experimental wax. Strangely, she was hanging sideways by her belt and in the next act, she's hanging right-side up with her hands tied behind her back.
