And I’m out!? What if... what if... WHAT IF MIKEY ACTUALLY WINS!?!? What if he becomes the Battle Nexus Champion!? He’ll never let me live it down! AND I’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF!!!!!
- I Shall Taunt You:Michelangelo: Hear that crowd, Bro? That’s ME they’re cheering for! That’s right, me! Not you, but me! Not you, but me! (jokingly takes a bow which ducks under Raphael’s flying kick, causing him to crash) Okay, now you’re just getting sloppy.Michelangelo: Why? Does my talking bother you? (dodge) Am I distracting you somehow? (dodge) Making you lose focus? (dodge) Messing up your concentration? Finally getting on your nerves, perhaps? Or maybe you're just a teeeensy bit worried that I might actually beat you.
