GrounderIn the name of Dr. Robotnik, you're under arrest!
[A blue hedgehog is running up a mountain path at a very quick pace, then runs down again. He takes a quick corner near a steep cliff. He eventually makes it to the ground and runs along a path. A brown fox catches up to him, flying with his tails. He waves at the heddgehog and shakes his hands. He lets go as he suddenly stops and goes into a Triple Spin. The fox covers his eyes as the hedgehog suddenly dashes off at a very fast speed, causing the pathway to lift off the ground as he passes by.]
Hey Sonic, wait up!
[Tails charges up with his tails and speeds up, chasing down Sonic. Sonic, meanwhile, stops at a dark-looking tree on top of a hill. Tails catches up.]
Civilization.
Boy, I thought we'd never find it.
[They are overlooking other hills and a city in the far distance. Behind the two, a tall, lanky, roughly humanoid robotic rooster is hiding in an artificial bush. He pokes out his head, with a communication headset on.]
I'm ready, are you ready?
[A small, short, stocky teal robot with tank tracks for feet, is nearby, with a communication headset as well, manning a portable control panel with a big red button.]
GrounderReady! ... Um... Tell me what I'm ready for.
Spring the trap!!
GrounderI knew that!
[Grounder presses the button on his panel, which springs two hands from the tree, grabbing Sonic and Tails and suspending them in the air. Scratch and Grounder walk over to the tree.]
We got ya, hedgehog!
GrounderYeah! The chase is over!
[They start dancing with joy.]
We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!
Hold it guys, you don't want to do this.
Oh, don't we?
We mean too much to each other.
GrounderWe do?
Yeah, don't you remember how we first met?
GrounderNope.
Well, it all started before you were born.
GrounderSometimes I wish Dr. Robotnik hadn't made us so persistent.
He made me persistent; he made you too dumb to quit.
GrounderWas that an insult?!
Just shoot or you're going to miss your chance!
He's out there still! Mocking me with his scurrilous speed! Standing between me and my dream of total domination of Mobius!
[turns on the light] Are you talking about Sonic?
TURN OFF THAT LIGHT!!! Can't you see I'm brooding?
Oh yeah, sorry. [turns it off again]
That's better. As I was saying, I hate that hedgehog! And I want him captured NOW!
GrounderBut how are we ever gonna find him?
My deluxe highly-calibrated Hedgehog-omitor has picked up his trail in the Marble Zone. You leave at first light! [presses a button, activating a springy platform that sends Scratch and Grounder soaring outside]
BUT IT'S STILL–
Grounder...DARK OOOOOUT!!!
So? I'm a little impatient.
If this doesn't work, I'm going to make chicken broth out of both of you!
GrounderCan you make broth out of robots?
[Robotnik growls furiously]
GrounderSure, why not? A little salt, a little pepper, I'm sure we'd be delicious!
(interrogating Breezy) We have ways of making you talk, hedgehog!
GrounderWe do? What ways?
Stupid! (smacks him)
GrounderOh, yeah! Right! We got stupid ways to make you talk! So start blabbin', missy!
Tell us where we can find Sonic!
I don't know where he is. I've never even met Sonic!
(zooms in) You have now! (to Scratch and Grounder) Picking on a pretty lady? Don't you bots have any chivalry?
No, but Grounder's got a great trick up his sleeve!
Grounder(reveals a glue-gun) My new glue-gun. It'll paste your sneakers right to the pavement!
Yeah, hedgehog! Stick around! Ba ha ha haaa! (Grounder squirts at a fleeing Sonic, missing him.) Hey, fast-draw! You missed! (smacks Grounder again) Wait till Dr. Robotnik hears about this! Ba ha ha haaa!
Grounder(aims at him) Not from you! I'll glue your yap shut!!
Who is this?! I can't talk now! I'm waiting for important news from the ice territory!
Ah, listen up, Your Rottenness - Sonic was just here!
Haha, it's working! My sneaky, devious, underhanded scheme is working!
Any sneaky, devious, underhanded scheme in particular?
Yes! My secret agent Breezie has got Sonic running in circles all over Mobius!
Breezie is your secret agent?!
Of course!
GrounderThen why did you send us to capture her?
That was the brilliantly sneaky part of my devious and underhanded scheme!
It was?
Yes, you dumb-bots! How else could I get Sonic to think Breezie is on his side?
(after a brief silence) I knew it all the time!
GrounderI knew it before you did!
Great acting job I did when we captured her, huh?
Grounder(sarcastically) Yeah, great acting. You almost had me thinking Robotnik put a brain in your head!
(punches Grounder, sending him flying into a wall) SILENCE!!!
GrounderYes, Your Miserableness.
[showing Scratch and Grounder a new machine] Well, gentlemen, how do you like it?
GrounderHmmm...
Uhhh... oh, we love it!
GrounderYeah, it's the best one we've ever seen!
If we were gonna build ourselves, we'd make it exactly like that.
GrounderExactly!
One question.
Yeeeees?
What is it?
[looks frustrated for a moment] It's my new Eggo-Matic-Tunnelizer and Town Terrorizer! [points down to a nearby village] See that ugly empty space in front of my fortress?
It's not exactly empty, Your Maliciousness.
GrounderThat is that whole village right there.
In six hours, that village will be gone!
Gone?
Vanished! Destroyed! Obliterated! I'm flooding it! I'm going to tunnel down to the main Mobius reservoir, steal all its water, and turn that town into Lake Robotnik! [laughs evilly]
GrounderNeed any help?
NO! I want you two to go help Breezie eliminate Sonic! This is one time I'm going to do some rottenness and that hedgehog won't stop me!
GrounderBut what will happen to all the people?
In a word... they'll all be SUNK! [cackles]
[After Breeze throws Tails into a river]
Nice work, Agent Breezie!
GrounderYeah, very nice. That little brat is a real pain in the--
Hey!
GrounderTransmission.
How dare you interrupt me now!? I want my monument finished in time for Robotnik Day!
GrounderWoo! I didn't know there was a Robotnik Day.
Of course there's a Robotnik Day! I just declared it one minute ago! In honor of myself!
Is my new Casino Night Zone ready?
GrounderUh, no...
No?! I spent over a million mobiums on that place! I made it a top priority! How can my new Casino Night Zone not be ready?
GrounderBecause it's locked and I have the key.
Well, then go open it, you nincombutt, you stupo-you miserable mess of microchips!
GrounderI'm doing better, he didn't call me a hopeless hunk of junk.
And make it fast you hopeless hunk of junk!
Oh, and tell Robotnik he has a crummy Casino. No chili dogs.
Whoa! Its, its, its…
(as James Bond) Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog.
(simultaneously) SONIC!?
(repeatedly) YOU MUST LOSE THE RACE, LOSE THE RACE, LOSE THE RACE, LOSE THE RACE! MOBIUS OR TAILS, OR TAILS, OR TAILS, OR TAILS!
GrounderThat should stop it! (threw the stone down)
I didn't mean, that the people can go too slow... (seeding the falling stone) YIKES!!! GAGA-GAAAAAHHH!
Major fender-bender. Robotnik is not gonna be happy.
[furiously] You did what with my Egg-O-Matic?!
[nervously] Uh, I sorta borrowed it.
[angrily] "Borrowed it"?! You stole it, you pseudo-simian sap! [points at Coconuts] Give it back at once!
[stammering] Oh, right. Give it back, ye-yeah yeah, I'll give it back. I... Oh, uh... I can't.
[spitting at Coconuts] You can't?!
[Scratch and Grounder appear, bringing in Robotnik's damaged Egg-O-Matic.]
[in unison] We can!
[They throw the trashed Egg-O-Matic down to the floor in front of Robotnik]
My Egg-O-Matic! Oh, no!
GrounderCoconuts totaled it, your supreme sliminess.
[Robotnik gets in Coconuts' face again]
[nervously] I had a little accident. Eh, just a little accident. [chuckles nervously, then shrieks as Robotnik jumps]
Don't ruin my baby! [places hand on his forehead] Oh, I need to sit down. No, Coconuts, you need to sit down!
I detest that Catty Carlyle! She's singing about Sonic! So I've invented this radio wave locator to find her and stop her! (Machine starts beeping) There! That's where the song is coming from!
GrounderFrom this machine?
Nooo, imbecile! That flashing light shows where the song is being broadcast from! This is where the REBL radio station is!
Grounder(reading the note Robotnik hands him) "Single 700-pound villain looking for suitable companion."
Whoops! Uh, wrong paper. Give me that!
