Raphael A Brother (TMNT 2007)

All right, let's hear it. What's Raph doing? No one really knows. You owe me no apology, but perhaps you should talk to Raphael. Your absence has been particularly difficult for him, though he'll never admit it. You know, I don't even care about Leo anymore. I hope he never comes back. Raphael, your brother is home. Come on, aren't you being a little hard on the guy? I don't know, it's possible. Hey. Welcome home. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm just saying that if it was my brother, I'd find a way to work it out. Raph? What? Okay, jungle boy. Raph, wait! Splinter told us not to fight! You're gonna stand here and quote a rulebook to me that you ain't been following for a year? Look, Raph, if you've got something you want to get off your shell, now's the time. Well, I got a news flash for you. We got along just fine without you! Oh, and this qualifies as just fine? Dressing up like it's Halloween every night? Risking the safety of our family? I mean, come on, what were you thinking? But I'm not gonna stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you. Fine, then. I quit. Don't push it, Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to fall in line again like your little soldiers. Sometimes, just taking a breather is the best thing to do. I messed up big tonight. I know that there's a reason why he's the better son, and I'm not. Raphael, you always bear the world's problems on your shoulders. We must return to the surface to take back what is ours. You fight well. You should join us. No, thanks. I'm good. You're gonna need these if you're gonna lead us out of here. I'm gonna need you, too. You may not be my favorite student. It does not mean that you are my least favorite son. You are strong and loyal to a fault. These are the merits of a great leader as well. But only when tempered with compassion and humility.
