A section of
the stage begins to rotate to show the Dimensional
Duplicator, Donatello's latest invention. Captain
Black, Jade, Jackie,
Leo, Mike, Ralph & Ninjara walk over to the
machine to begin the
demostration.
CAPTAIN BLACK
This, ah, Dimensional Duplicator was developed
right here by Mr.
FIX-IT-TURTLE himself. This fantastic machine
can make exact copies of
any object at all.
DUPLICATOR
PLEASE INSERT ITEM TO BE DUPLICATED NOW.
Ninjara turns the machine on and walks back to
join her
boyfriend, Mikey, Leo, Chan & Black. They
don't notice that Jade put
her mouse into the chamber and input the number
999 for the quantity.
CAPTAIN BLACK
Now, as I understand it, Vixen, all you do is
you drop the item
into the chamber, select the number of clones
so to speak, you press the
button and BINGO. It's so easy, even a child can
do it, Ha!
JADE
I heard that!
MICHAELANGELO
Oops, watch out for the erupting volcano.
RAPHAEL
Uh-oh...Jade's gonna explode.
JADE
Ooooooooo...<Glares>
LEONARDO
Pay no attention, they're just joking.
JADE
I know, I was just playing along, te-hehehehehehe.
CAPTAIN BLACK
So now all we need is something to duplicate.
JACKIE CHAN
But what? We don't have anything to create clones.
NINJARA
Nothing in my pockets. <Holds up hands>
Sorry.
Suddenly the Duplicator speaks up, catching the
group by
suprise!
DUPLICATOR
THANK YOU. COMMENCING COPY MODE.
CAPTAIN BLACK
What!! <Whirls around>
JACKIE CHAN
Jade! Get down from there.
NINJARA
Don't play on that thing!
JADE
Oops, oh no, Photon! He's in there. <Alarmed>
LEONARDO
What-the?
RAPHAEL
Your mouse is in there?!
MICHAELANGELO
We're doomed! <Mimics Threepio>
Chan rushes over and drags his neice away from
the machine as
the cloning process begins. Frantically Ninjara
runs to the Duplicator
in an attempt to shut down the program, abort
it.
CAPTAIN BLACK
Ninjara! Turn this machine off now.
NINJARA <Panics>
I don't know how.
CAPTAIN BLACK
What do you mean you don't know how?! I thought
you said you
knew how to work it!
JACKIE CHAN
Donnie only showed me how to turn it on, he didn't
say how to
shut it off.
The machine overloads and smoke rises from it.
The lights on
stage flicker like a bad TV picture on the fritz.
CAPTAIN BLACK
Ah! Well, well pull the plug.
CRYSTAL
Cut the power! <Shouts to other assistants
in the rafters>
NINJARA
There is no plug. It's under nuclear power or
something.
AMBER
Cut it!
CAPTAIN BLACK <Stunned by what he just heard>
It's nuclear what?!
The Section 13 workers cut the power and the lights
go out. The
Duplicator begins to slow down like a phonograph
LP player when you turn
off the power and the needle is still on the record
making that SLOW
MOTION sound effect until it stops. The room falls
silent except for
the sound of squeaking mice running around like
crazy.
LARA CROFT <Puzzled>
Where are all the mice going?
LEONARDO
Towards the people.
MICHAELANGELO
Out to the audience.
RAPHAEL
Great Scott, whoohooa! <Mimics Doc Brown>
By now, the mice have made their way into the
audience. As the
crowd scream and leap about in their seats. Assistants
turn the main
power back online. The only way to get rid of
the mice is with a cat,
so the gang turn to another of Donatello's inventions,
the Pet Holograph
Machine.
JACKIE CHAN
How are we going to get rid of them?
JADE
Dunno, <Shrugs> I haven't a clue.
CAPTAIN BLACK
Um, I think this would be the perfect time to
demostrate
Donnie's No Mess Holopet.
Chan turns this machine on and a 3D image of a
calico kitten is
projected above Black's head as he speaks to the
crowd.
CAPTAIN BLACK
It's perfect for those who want the, uh, companionship
of a pet
with none of the associated mess...<Cat meows,
turns to look>...or mice!
LEO-RALPH-MIKE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, HEHEHEHEHOHOHOHOHO!
NINJARA
Hehehehehehe, ahahahahahahaha!
CAPTAIN BLACK
Where did that kitten come from?
JACKIE CHAN
A little more power.
JADE
Yes sir Jackie.
The kitten morphs into a mountain lion and opens
its mouth
making a snarling roar.
JADE
Too much! Too much!
JACKIE CHAN
I can't stop it!
ALL 3 TURTLES
AAAAAAAAAAUGH!
NINJARA
Aaiiiiiiiiiiiiie! <Screams>
The mountain lion morphs into a ferocious African
Lion which
gives a loud roar and lunges towards the screaming
audience who
cringe-flinch in their seats. Black ducks onto
the stage while his
assistants flee from the sparking machine. The
stage lights flicker and
go out again as the illusion is sucked back into
the HoloPet which shuts
down automatically.
