Mirror Knuckles quotes from Sonic Boom

Sticks

They really look alike. We need to figure out how to tell them apart.

Amy

I know. Our Knuckles can wear something to distinguish himself, but which one's our Knuckles?

Well, that depends. What does distinguish mean? [Amy runs off and returns with a blue party hat.] No way! I'm not wearing that!

I'd be honored to wear your ridiculous hat my dear. [puts the hat on]

Amy

Ahh...

Sonic

He may look like Knuckles, but he sure doesn't talk like him.

Hey! I talked gooder than you.

Tails

[thinking] There's a perfectly rational explanation for this. [Everyone looks and listens to Tails, but after a long wait, he shrugs.] I just haven't figured it out yet. [Everyone groans at Tails.]

Worry not, young Tails. Be diligent. In time, the answer will seek you.

Whoa. I sound like a fortune cookie! [tries to eat his right arm] Yeah, but I don't taste like one.

There's only one person smart enough to unravel this enigma.

Welcome to Meh Burger. Can I take your order?

Dave! I'm glad I found you, friend. We need your brilliant mind.

I'm sorry. We're all out of that. May I recommend the Meh Rib Sandwich? They're only available for a limited time.

[clenches his fist] What's going on here?! Everyone seems to be the opposite of their normal selves.

Tails

Hmm... I think I understand what's happening. They say it's available for a limited time to create a false demand.

Sticks

That's how they get ya.

Tails

Also, I just figured out that this guy is from another dimension!

Sonic

Another dimension? You mean with duplicates of each of us?

Sticks

[nervous] What if another of me shows up? I can't trust me. I'm a loose cannon! [screams and runs away]

Eggman

Imagine the look on Sonic's face when he sees I have Knuckles trapped. [hears the wall being barged open]

Sonic

You don't have to imagine, Egghead. Cuz here I am!

Eggman

That was a bit of a letdown. I was expecting a bigger reaction, maybe shocked, outraged, perhaps even a little ennui. Anywho, Motobugs, attack!

Look who broke down the wall. The non-aggressors.

Sonic

[punches another Motobug] Dude, this is more of a rescue than an attack!

Excuses are easy to manufacture, but hard to sell.

Eggman

Why is Knuckles talking like a fortune cookie?

Amy

That's (because it's) not Knuckles, it's his double from another dimension.

Eggman

Oh. That explains the hat, so you can tell them apart. Great idea.

Amy

Thank [hammers a Motobug] you.

Eggman

Wait a minute. There are multiple Knuckles in this dimension? That could cause some kind of catastrophic anomaly. I do not want a dimensional explosion in my lab. I just had the floors waxed. [releases Mirror Knuckles from the trapping cage and Mirror Knuckles flickers] Well, what are you waiting for? Get him out of here! (And why is his counterpart here anyway?)

Sonic

Well, actually, the reason Alternate Dimension Knuckles is here is because Alternate Dimension Eggman (which is your dimensional counterpart) shot him with lasers from Alternate Dimension Octopusbot.

Eggman

That is so Alternate Dimension me!

Sonic

Is there any chance we can borrow your laser to send this guy back where he came from and prevent the destruction of pretty much everything?

Eggman

[chuckling] Sure! You should have just asked me in the first place! Oh, but I'll need it back by Thursday.

Sticks

What happens on Thursday?

Eggman

I'm gonna attack your– Uh, um, I'm having a party. [Sticks makes "I'm watching you" gesture at him]

[warped in to his world and notices Mirror Sonic on the ground] Here, buddy. Let me help you. [helps Sonic up]

Oh. Thanks, Knux.

Sonic

Hi. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog.

Never heard of you. [notices Knuckles walking up to them still in his blue naval cap. The wind blows through his dreadlocks] ...But who's your friend? [walks over to Knuckles pushing Sonic aside]

I'm just a humble echidna… which is why I won't brag about my boyish charm, unimaginable strength, and ability to think real good. You know, smartnesswise.

Sonic

[struggles to pick up Perci's broken bicycle, just before Knuckles picks it up over his head using only one arm] Wha...?!

Wow. Muscles and brain smartness.

I know. [Sonic falls] Medic! Splint up this pretty lady's arm!

Amy

I hope I can live up to your expectations, Captain Knuckles. [puts the splint on her leg instead of her arm]

Oh ho, Amy. You forgotten what an arm is. This is an arm. [flexes his left arm]

Wow. You are the whole package.

And here's the gift-wrapping. [starts flexing his arms. Amy sighs dreamily]

Sonic, You clumsy oaf! Perpetual second banana! Look what you've done! [to Perci] Come, my lady! We must go to Casa Del Tails to repair your bicicleta before Sonic does any further damage. [takes Perci's arm leaving Amy angry and the 4 head over to Tails' workshop with Sonic behind them]

Sonic

[whiny voice] Come on, guys! Wait for meeeeeee!

Sticks

Hey, be careful of that alien! She'll abduct our livestock, phone home from our houses, and turn us all into pie people! She's... a goodful! A goodful! [runs off screaming]

[to Perci] Don't pay attention to her. She's actually very nice. [Sonic fixes the bike with a wielding laser and suddenly burns his finger at Tails' Workshop (flashback). He screams in pain and starts blowing on it.] Sonic, can't you do anything right? [to Perci] Your scarf will look brand new, but it'll never look as lovely as its owner.

Amy

How does this heating pad work? Mmm. [throws the heating pad on a pile of newspapers]

A pillow for my maiden fan?

Amy

Hey, I'm the medic! I'll give her the pillow!

Sonic

I want to give her the pillow, so I could be more like my hero - Knuckles. [he and Amy fight over the pillow when suddenly a fire starts]

[Southern Belle accent] I've seem to have fallen from my bicycle and injured my little old arm. If only there was some heroic gentleman who would rescue poor little me.

Sonic

[he and Knuckles stare at Perci all lovey-dovey and chuckling] You're pretty.

[Southern accent] Would one of you handsome young men kindly retrieve my bicycle?

Amy

[voiceover] Even with my friends under the spell of a wicked siren, I selflessly administered medical care to the foul temptress. [to Perci] Oh, you poor sweet thing! Allow me to tend to your wounds. [binds Perci's arm in a sling, which sparkles] Now, let's see to your bicycle. I know where to get it fixed!

Sticks

Watch out for that government agent! It starts with jury duty, and zoning ordinances, and before you know it, boom! Our tax dollars are benefiting others, and not us!

Amy

Don't pay attention to her. She's actually very nice. [Sticks runs away screaming]

Amy

[holding Perci's scarf] Sweetie, you rest here. I'll get a heating pad to make you more comfortable. Knuckles, will you please clean this scarf? [Knuckles reaches in and grabs the scarf] And Sonic… [Sonic stands to attention] …maybe it'd be best to just wait for Tails.

Sonic

No way! I can totally fix this! [darts over to Perci] Watch this, babe. [runs back over to the bike, and picks up a welding mask and laser. He puts on the mask, but drops the laser] Ahh...

[Southern accent] My poor little arm is achin' so. If only I had a cushion on which to rest it.

Sonic

Let me give it to her!

She wants me to give it to her!

[voiceover] I had a minor accident with my bicycle, when… [Sonic sees Perci and runs over]

Sonic

Hi, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. Hero extraordinaire.

You don't happen to have a wrench or some tools I can use to fix my bike?

No, but maybe I can interest you in some "gift-wrapping"?

That's okay.

Sonic

Don't worry. I can fix your bike. [runs to it]

No, I will! [follows]

Amy

You're just loving this, aren't you? Having men fight over you? A modern woman can take care of herself.

I can take care of myself, but like I said, "I don't have any tools" and I hurt my arm.

Amy

I suppose you need me to bandage that up for you.

Nah, just a bruise. [Amy growls, but wraps Perci's arm in a sling. Sonic and Knuckles are fighting over the pieces of the bike, when they suddenly fall. The bike pieces drop into the mud, splashing it over Perci.] Look, I need to get moving. Do you know where I can find some tools? [As the group walks towards Tails' Workshop, Sticks runs up with a yell.] Nice to meet you. [Sticks runs away screaming. Sonic, Knuckles and Amy hold each other in the background, shaking.] She seems nice.

Sonic

Allow me. You just sit back and relax, while Sonic saves the day.

Okay, I'll just wash my scarf.

[grabs Perci's scarf] Please, the honor is all mine. [starts washing it]

Well then, I'll just rest my arm.

Amy

All right, all right. I'll get you a heating pad. Talk about a drama queen.

[puts Perci's scarf in the kiln] Would you like a pillow?

Sonic

[looks up from his welding] No, I'll give Perci a pillow! [runs over, dropping the welding laser, which ignites]

Amy

Oh, now the princess wants a pillow. [tosses the heating pad onto a pile of newspapers]

Hey, you guys will never believe what I found in this hole!

Tails

Dirt?

Lucky guess!

Tails

We're approaching hour 23 of Sonic and Knuckles' stay awake challenge and it's still anybody's game. Sticks, what do you make of their strategy so far?

Sticks

It appears Sonic is jogging in circles to stay awake while Knuckles keeps his focus by watching late night TV. Both strong approaches, but personally, I find the grim knowledge that our freedom is slowly eroding enough to keep me awake at night.

Sonic

Give it up, Knuckles. I can keep moving all night. The second you find something boring on TV, you're going to be out like a light.

Don't be silly, Sonic, TV is never boring. [changes channels]

So, Soar. Tell us more about your dried, dense and complicated new book about introspection and selfbetterment.

Aww...

My new book, counter productive, is about fixing your old mistakes, times when you made a mess of things. [Knuckles watches him interested] When you were a bad apple, active like a basket case.

[starts to have a flashback at a market where Charlie works] Hey, Charlie. Can I borrow your basket? It's really important! [grabs and puts the baskets on his feet] Haha, neat! I'm all tall and stuff!

Sticks

[waving her hand in front of Knuckles] His eyes are open, but his brain is definitly asleep. Sonic wins!

[wakes up] Gah! Am I... counter productive?

Sonic

Nope, just someone who can't stay awake for 23-hour straight.

Awww…!

If you don't go back to the people you've wronged and make up for your misdeeds, then you're basically a monster and that's science.

[ Screaming ] Don't look at me! I'm a monster, a monster!

Sonic

[sighs] Hope this turns out better than when he thought he was a ballerina.

Don't look at me! I'm a ballerina, a ballerina! [Starts dancing]

[to Fennec Shopkeeper] I'm looking for Charlie. (Have you seen him?)

You mean that guy who kept dropping my apples? Fired him years ago. Last I heard, he was working at a dig-sight just outside the village. Probably mocking that up too.

Thanks, and as a token of my appreciation, I will buy 1 apple. [grabs an apple out of a basket and all baskets fall down] Now that those baskets are empty, you mind if I borrow some? [walks away with 2 baskets on his feet]

Careful... careful

[runs to and startles Charlie] Charlie! [Charlie almost drops the artifact] (Sorry.) Remember me? The guy that turned those apple baskets into stilts at your old job? Man, that was fun, but it turns out it wasn't fun! It was counter productive. So I'm here to make it up to you.

Oh. Wow. I totally forgot about that. Don't worry about it, my life is great now. I've got a wife, a nice house, this wonderful job, (and) digging up ancient artifacts.

Doesn't matter, I gotta make this right.

Honestly, you really don't have to.

Can it! I'm trying to be nice to you. We'll start with your lunch order.

[gets a sandwich out of his pocket] But I brought my lunch.

[grabs the sandwich] Not good enough. [throws it into a nearby lake] I'm gonna get you something special! [runs off, one of the baskets falls off and hits Charlie on the head who let go of the artifact which breaks]

[arrives as Charlie tries to fix the artifact] Soups on! [grabs everything on the table and throws it off, the artifact breaks again] I got braised short-rib on focaccia toast with a dollop of garlic chaiaboly and just a hint of lime.

Actually, that sounds pretty good.

I thought so too. That's why I ate it on the way here, but don't worry. Look what I found. [holds up Charlie's wet sandwich] Can you believe some dope just tossed this in the lake?

(Um... Thanks? Anyways...) I really should get back to work. [turns around and starts collecting the things from the floor]

Oh, let me get those for you, because I'm helpful and not counter productive.

No, really. It's o– (Wait… W-what, "counter productive"?)

Charlie, come on! It's me! [throws the sandwich away, takes a pickax and a shovel falls on Charlie's foot]

Ah, ouch! [jumps around and steps on the sandwich which makes him fall down] (I'm alright, I'm okay.)

The working conditions here are dangerous! I'm gonna go talk to your union rep.

Phew. Honey, you would not believe the day I had. [notices Knuckles who sits at the table] (What the…?)

Hi, Charlie!

[sits down] Sweetheart, what is he doing here?

(Who, Knuckles? Oh.) I invited your friend for dinner.

But honey… we have that thing tonight?

I don't recall any thing. If you're trying to imply that you don't want someone here, perhaps you should just say it!

What are you guys talking about? (Know what? Never mind.)

[arrives] I wanted to be helpful, so I picked up all those tiny flags you carelessly left scattered around in the dirt.

Those flags were marking the locations of valuable artifacts. I'm going to have to redo all that work now.

Aw, man. You should probably put flags by those flags, so no one picks them up, but don't worry. I'll fix it. [puts a flag on an artifact that activates and destroys a part of the construction sight]

Oh, no. It's my boss, Mr. Slate.

What's the meaning of all this

But–

[to Charlie] I'll handle this. [to Mr. Slate] You can't talk to Charlie like that. You're not the boss of him!

Not anymore I'm not. [to Charlie] You're fired!

[he and Knuckles walking through the rain] How am I going to break this news to my wife?

Ah, don't worry about that. I already called her!

You did what?! [runs to his house, a suitcase is thrown near his feet]

When are you going to stand up for yourself? [throws a bundle to the suitcase, walks inside the house and closes the door]

What's her problem?

[screaming] You did this, you ruined my life! (So you're the problem!)

(Oh, boy…) No worries, Charlie. I’m gonna make it up to you... as soon as I finished making up for that other thing I did, whatever that was.

You’re a menace. I’m not gonna let people like you cause problems for me anymore! [laughs maliciously and runs off to the construction sight works on something] You’ll see. They’ll all see. [laughs]

Sonic

Knuckles, this is going on long enough. You gotta stand up to him.

No, this is my own fault. I got him fired, remember? And like Soar the Eagle probably says in that book I didn’t read, I can’t rest until I’ve made it up to him.

Amy

Can you at least stop letting him taking your lunch money?

Fine, Amy. I’ll try to avoid letting Charlie take my lunch money... for you.
