Script transcript

[samxsteal]

White draft - 4/23/13
CONTINUED

Raph:
Spoken like a true Boy scout

Leo:
You think I asked to be the Leader of this outfit. Raph? You think i wanted this? Splinter chose Me. I'm Just Doing My duty.

Mikey:
Ha. Doodie

Raph:
Some "duty" - Risking our necks every night for surface-dwellers who'd lock us up in a zoo, or worse, if they knew we existed. You saw how that chick looked at us......

{stepping INTO THE LIGHT}

...like we were freaks

The other turtle fallow raphael into the light. Leonardo shakes his head, disapointed in his brother. And is the first time we've really seen the turtles out of the shadows. They look like heroes, but i different kind of hero. They don't relish their victory. They're just teenagers, They're Freaking tired. And they want to unwind

Mikey:
Maybe if we save enough people, if we do enough good, we'll be accepted up there, Whaddya think.....?

Donnie:
Grow up Mikey....

Leo:
I think... That we must be doing this for a reason. I just dont know what that reason is...

The turtle shuffle into their lair. Leo keeps his armor and Swords strapped on, but the other start slowly tossing off their armor and their weapons

Splinter: The bonds of family are stronger than steek...

The turtles spin back..As SPLINTER step out of the dark. The humanoid version of the lab rat we met in OUR opening. Mutated and wizened, with brown hair, gray in places, scoliosis back, four feet tall, carrying a walking stick
EDITED

That all i got

Glad this got a new thread, Didn't want to reply in the other thread

You can't really base a script on how long into a movie.

Movie scripts are over 100 pages, which have to include discription of scenes and dialogue so you you have to cram a lot into a script and they are written spaced out so page 24 could be 15/20 minutes into the film. 30 minutes into the film (i'm just guessing) probably be page 40

[Sewer Sirens Podcast]

On average, one page of a script is one minute. That's at least what I learned in theatre, not sure if it applies to film.

[MajorViolence]

It's an industry standard. It's not a hard rule, but generally speaking scripts are expected to adhere to it within reason.

Is there a script where April is introduced to the turtles?

Like how the autobots introduced themselves to Sam?

My guess:
April regains conscious as she finds out she's in the turtles lair. At first when they saw her awoke, she was scared of them until Splinter comes and offers her some tea.

Later on, he explains their origin to her; where they came from. She realizes that Splinter & the turtles were the same animals in the lab. Then Splinter introduces the turtles to April:

Splinter: My eldest son... Leonardo of the katana.
Leo: It's an honor to meet you. Call me Leo.
Splinter: His youngest brother, the smart one... Donatello of the bo staff.
Donnie: Who would've thought the first human would be so... I mean... call me Donnie.
Splinter: The arrogant yet strong of the bunch... Raphael of the sai.
Raph: 'Sup! You don't look so bad.
Mikey: Heeeyyyy!!!
Splinter: (giggling) You already met the last of the young brothers, Michelangelo.
Leo, Raph & Donnie: Call him Mikey!
Mikey: Sorry 'bout the scare earlier. Guess that first impression didn't go well.

April: So.... am I a prisoner here?
Leo: Not at all. Guess to us, you're the first human to ever understand our existence. Nobody does anyway.
Mikey: You're welcome here anytime, girlfriend!
Raph: Ignore Mikey, your life will be a lot easier.

Nice of them to throw in some jokes for viewers with a single-digit IQ.

[sethmartin]

So Splinter DOES start out as a lab rat in this! IDW anyone....

[Vicky82]

Hmm I didn't notice that about Splinter.

I'm getting that IDW story vibe, which I guessed weeks ago that the movie could be mix of Mirage,OT and IDW versions .

[NinjaPug]

Wait, what exactly is this?

HAHA yup the concept art even looks like IDW splinter so that pretty cool

[sethmartin]

Also in the IDW storyline, Splinter remembers his former life but the Turtles do not. One of the lines - "I think... That we must be doing this for a reason. I just dont know what that reason is..." is another possible clue that it's IDW based.

So page 24 could mean on average 24 mins into the film, doesn't sound too bad for a possible 2 hour film. I expect the first 24 mins will consist of a flashback, Megan Fox, Subway fight then we see the turtles.

That isn't that bad if you ask me.

[SwiftNinjaFox]

2 hours seemed long to me at first, longer than any previous turtle film, but then I realized that's become standard for just about any film lately.

Still 1/4th of the film without the turtles? Depends entirely on how they pull it off. Could work, though.
