Mike: who's your favorite comic book super-hero?

Raph: Hae you ever actually seen any TV shows or films with Zach Braff? Have you even heard of him?

"Ooh, that's a really difficult question. I mean, what are we grading on here? Overall personality? Skill? Super powers? Swank costume? So many categories...so little time!

I know what you're thinking though, Mutant must be a Marvel guy, but you'd be wrong. There's just something about the iconic representation of DC's heroes that make them far superior. I'm going to have to narrow the list down to three.

Batman, because he shows that you don't have to be super to be a hero...you just have to practice like mad, and be kind of crazy.

The Flash, because let's face it...if you're fast enough you can do anything. And being fast is the only reason I survived to adulthood.

And Wonder Woman. Mmmmm. Wonder Woman."

Uh...who?

Leigh-Cheri,

What have you been up to?

Did you know that Nymphadora's pregnant?

--Bernard's fear-filled mun

"Plotting your violent death, my pet."

She smiles all innocent like.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash my hair."

Raph:

Have you ever felt anything more than friendship for April? Don't take the "yeah, she's family" line, either. You know what I'm asking about. If circumstances were different, would you ever consider being with her romantically?

How would you describe your relationship with Andrew? Why do you think you trust him more than most people?

Who are the five (yeah, only five) most important people in your life (in any order)?

Be honest.

Mikey:

What's your favorite movie and why?

Do you prefer being a human or a turtle?

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Gah, you're worse than frickin' Large.

I got a wierd relationship with April. We all do. It ain't much of a secret that I don't hold a lotta respect for most humans. Exceptions bein' Case an' April.

Truth? It ain't easy havin' her for a friend. Always gotta worry if she'll be safe. Always bein' reminded that she's got somethin' I'll never have. If I could, I'd die to give her the normal life she deserves. None of this hidin' from bad guys crap. I'd like to see her in school, finish her degree. Nice guy who'd treat'er right. Just like the families on tv. Can't give'er that though, so I give'er what I can.

If circumstances were different I'd be chasin' feeder fish in some 90 gallon tub in someone's livin' room...so it ain't really a great question you're posin' there.

But no, things wouldn't be no different. Why? 'Cause I can't give her what she'd need. So I give'er what I can, an' hope it's enough. We all do.

Large? He's a good kid. Be a good man when he realizes that there's a world outside his own head. Shame the way his parents clipped his claws the way they did. Stead'a walkin' he just sorta limps. As to why I trust him, well...they say two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

*grin*

People, huh? Interestin' choice o' words there. 'M assumin' you mean at the bar, seein' as my family ain't really of the people pursuasion. An' I'm gonna assume this means She ain't allowed either, bein' she ain't a person neither.

'Kay,....uh....April, Fleur, Tim, Bernard, 'Lanna.

"My favorite movie, huh? That's easy enough. It's this flick called <i>Sneakers</i>, and it's got this all star cast. Robert Redford, Dan Akyroid, Sydney Poitier, River Pheonix, Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn and Ben Kingsley.

First of all it's a heist movie. I love heist movies. Plus it's funny, clever, and just put together so awesomely. I can recite most of it by heart.

Turtle or human? You know, I don't have much of a preference really. They're too different to compare. I can tell you that this shape feels more like a costume than anything else, and that it'll be good to go home.

The answer to that is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind."

Mikey: same question back at you.

Raph: Do you think I pose some sort of competition to you?

"Oh that's easy. Because I love you.

That's the right answer, right? Because I can try again if you like.
For instance I could have said that you're greater than the sum of your parts. That you keep up with me, and give me a run for my money at the same time. You're fearless and beautiful and strong and...bendy. Let's not forget bendy."

It ain't competition to be replaced by somethin' better.

You believe that toy?

That you do more for him than I do? Yeah...I do.

"Can't he have both of us?"

Ain't my choice, now is it?

Raph:

Are you a little leery of Tonks, 'cos of the magic thing?

Leigh-Cheri:

How's life in the broom closet, baby?

Weapons should take more'n dumb luck to use. 'S why I hate guns too. Any idiot can pull a trigger an' end a life. Ain't hardly fair, if you ask me.

Magic kinda reminds me a whole lot of guns. Now don't get me wrong...I ain't sayin' it don't take talent to use'em well. It's just that I got a knack for runnin' into the idiots instead o' the experts. Lucky me.

As for how this all fits with Tonks...yeah, gotta say that sometimes she makes me bit nervous. 'S why I try to stay outta range.

Yeah. She can tell. It makes her sad 'cause she likes you, but she understands why, too.

'Course...the whole baby thing ain't helpin' with that either. Mammals are wierd.

No arguments from me on that one, mate.

"Oh goodness, it has been quite a long time since we've spoken, hasn't it? I haven't been in the broom closet for at least three lunar cycles. Not that I don't go back and visit from time to time. I mean, what sort of terrible friend would I be if I didn't?"

Truly, you are an inspiration to us all.

Raph: What are your current feelings about Tim?

Oh, and would you ever consider taking an authority position in security?

Loompas: The place looks horrible. Don't you do any work?

Mikey: Are you ever going to stop being human?

Tim? Kinda torn, really. I mean, I should be pissed for what he did. Really pissed. Like those guys didn't have enough of an advantage anyway, with the magic sticks and all.

He betrayed family. You don't do that.

'Course, there's another hand to look at. Tim was there for me when I needed him. Helped me when I shouldn'a been helped.

Tim's family. You don't let family twist.

Uh...authority in security? You're jokin' right?

No really. Like, if there was competent head, would you consider taking like a co-deputy chief position?

More responsibility means more people comin' to yell at you when things don't go accordin' to plan.

I know it's gonna come as a shock, but I don't really like gettin' yelled at.

So, you wouldn't be upset if someone who had been on security less time then you was promoted over your head? And you'd actually listen to them, as much as you listen to anyone in charge?

Hundredpercent of zero, is still zero...right?

Not really. But I'll take your word for it.

"Well, duh. Of course I am. Much fun as this is, this isn't me. Not the real me, anyway. I've just got some things I need to take care of first. That's all."

Like what?

"Well, for one thing I've got to find a way to get Raph to come home...."

And you need to be human for that? I think you're just in it for the sex.

"You say that like it's a bad thing.
No serious, it's going to take me a while to convince Sir Broods-a-lot to come home, and while I'm sort of stuck here...I might as well enjoy all the benefits that go along with being here.

Plus, I haven't quite gotten Margaritaville down yet."

A small group of overworked, and underpaid, rogue Loompas would like to take this opportunity to supply you with an Everlasting Two Fingered Salute.

Raph -- What would you do if Snow cashed in her Christmas present?

Leigh-Cherie -- You're not planning to do anything at the wedding, are you?

Panic.

"Only an outlaw would try and disrupt someone's important day."
