Added DiffLines:

* AmusingInjuries: At one point, all the Turtles grab on to each other's ankles in order to save their lives. Mike grabs Raph's ankles while still wearing his shuko spikes.
-->'''Raph:''' Ow! Watch where you point those shuko spikes, Mike!


Added DiffLines:

* ImpliedDeathThreat: Stockman gives one to April.
-->'''Stockman:''' Suffice it to say that my army of Mousers will make me a very rich and powerful man.\\
'''April:''' But, aren't you already a very rich and powerful man?\\
'''Stockman:''' Ah, Miss O'Neill, so brilliant yet so naïve. I will truly miss working with you.\\
'''April:''' What? You mean I'm fired?\\
'''Stockman:''' [[DeadlyEuphemism In a... manner of speaking.]]
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Don proudly announces that he has shut off the Mouser's jaw servos which means the Mousers deadly jaws won't work, only to be proven wrong immediately.
-->'''Mike:''' Just curious, Don. What's to stop old turbo jaws from munching up another six point two on the Richter scale?\\
'''Don:''' I shut down his jaw servos. It couldn't even chew through a stick of gum.\\
''(Mouser stops and chomps through pipes)''\\
'''Raph:''' You were saying?\\
'''Don:''' But I... I'm sure I shut it down. ''(Looks defeated)''\\
'''Mike:''' Aww, Don's finally lost his techno mojo. It's sad really.

* LetsYouAndHimFight: [[http://cdn.static.ovimg.com/episode/30970.jpg The first time]] Leo and Raph fight against each other. Though it's just briefly before they noticed the Mouser than Don rebuild to follow them to Stockman has convinced the two into working together.

Added DiffLines:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A lighthearted, comedic example: Michelangelo asks his brother if he can keep April in the same tone as a kid asking their parents if they can keep a dog or cat that followed them home.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Leo and Raph literally wrestle on the ground as opposed to doing like, ninja stuff. This indicates that their fight was another case of SiblingRivalry and not particularly serious (also shown in that they get distracted from it pretty quickly).

Added DiffLines:

* BridalCarry: Michaelangelo picks up a fainted April this way before asking the others if he can keep her.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Raphael was a little too into destroying the mousers that he didn't register Donatello telling everyone to leave at least one of them intact so they could find the source.

* ScrewThisImDoingWhatsRight: Against Splinter's orders, Raph tried to sneak out to stop Stockman, only for Leo to arrive and stop him. After seeing Don and Mikey following the Mouser to its source, Raph asks if he's gonna let it get away so Leo has no choice but to pursue it as well.

-->'''Raph''': So you're just gonna let that Mouser roam free?
-->'''Leo''': Master Splinter is so gonna kill us. Well, are you coming or what?
-->'''Raph''': If you insist...
