Scenes with Amy 34
ARAmy Rose
I'm Amy Rose, and I'm auditioning for the job of sidekick.
Ugh, Amy, I know who you are.
Amy
Okay, great. Because I am fine with nepotism. Oh, and under Special Skills, you can add juggling and singing! [starts doing just that] Oh, when the saints go marching in... (starts scatting)
Amy
Lemme in! I demand a call-back! [sees Knuckles walking past and looking depressed] Knuckles, what's wrong?
[sighs] That "Knuckles, Jr." isn't working out.
Amy
Oh... so you're saying you need a... [follows Knuckles; mocks Italian voice] I'm a crazy pizza man! Who juggles and sings! [sings When The Saints Go Marching In]
That's it! I've had enough of Eggman! Lair or no lair, he's outta here!
Amy
You can't just throw Eggman out. Sure, he might be a difficult roommate, but it's only because you guys have a communication problem.
"Communication problem"? He whacked me with a pillow. Hard! I'm dizzy, and I have serious short-term memory loss. [beat] And I have serious short-term memory loss.
Amy
Why don't we settle this... with a roommate meeting? [later] Now, Sonic. So you have something you'd like to share with Eggman?
Yes. Uh, how to say this delicately... You're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.
Amy
Let's frame our statements with "when you do this, it makes me feel this".
Fine. Let's see. Uh... When you live here, it makes me feel... angry because you're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.
[starts crying] You're right. I am the worst roommate. It-it-it... I've never lived with other people before!
[normal voice] You don't count. [starts crying again]
Amy
Sonic, I think someone here could go for 2 spoonfulls of forgiveness, washed down with a tall glass of friendship. What do you think?
Ugh... Eggman, if we give you a second chance, will you promise to shape up?
[stops crying, snaps his fingers] You bet!
Gotta stop him... but so tired... (sinks to the ground, asleep)
He must have a weak spot.
(points to the ground) Maybe there's a clue on the ground. (soft music plays as Sonic slumps to the ground, lying down next to Tails) This soft... soft... (shuts eyes) bed-like... ground... (Sticks walks over and stomps on his back, waking him up) What?! What's wrong?! Are we under attack? (Jumps to his feet and glances around, remembering where he is) Oh, right. (Yawns)
Eggman, you built that thing. How do we take it down?
By activating two kill switches at the same time. They're inside the lair. There... (Points to his right) and there. (Points to his left)
Oh, come on... Alright, Amy, Knuckles, Sticks, distract that metal monstrosity. (Lifts up Tails, who wakes up with a big yawn) Tails and I are on the kill switches. Eggman, you'll have to show us how to activate them. (Yawns)
Amy
(Spreads her arms out for a hug) Pre-mission group hug?
Dr. Eggman's evil fireman robot is running loose!
[seated on a nearby bench] Why does everyone assume every evil robot is mine?
[bounces off Fire Bot again] I dunno. Experience? [leaps up to avoid another burst of fire]
[Knuckles, armed with a large stick, and Amy, armed with her hammer, step up.]
You're"fired",pal. Ha ha ha! Get it? [A burst of flame turns his stick to ashes] Ah, I guess not.
Amy
Shouldn't firemen put out fires?
Ah, hello? That's the irony? It's the evil opposite of a fireman. [Sonic glares at him] Ah, uh... I assume...
Sonic, the evil anti-fire bot is putting a baby walrus into a burning house!
[Sonic races over and snatches the baby walrus away before Fire Bot can do so, returning him to his mother.]
Sonic, Evil anti-fire Bot is putting a kitten in a tree!
Go, evil fireman! [sees Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks looking at him] Okay, I admit it. It's mine. Evil robots are what I do. Why stop if you're good at it?
[Fire Bot is now shooting flames at some of the other citizens.]
This has gone on long enough. [races over, running circles around Fire Bot and wrapping it in its own "fire hose"]
[Fire Bot's flamethrower explodes, destroying it.]
I, um... left the oven on. [flees]
Heh. Looks like that robot is "fired"!
[Tails, Sticks, and Amy laugh.]
Hey! No one laughed when I said it...
[The kitten, which is still in the tree, meows pitifully.]
Sticks, could you get that kitten out of the tree?
Sure thing, Sonic. [runs over and starts shaking the tree, terrifying the kitten]
Um, Sticks? Sticks? Sticks!
[The kitten falls out of the tree and bounces off Sonic's head. Sonic catches it.]
Someone left this at my house.
Yeah. The mailman. It's a letter?
[sniffs it] Letter, huh? I dunno. Paper folded over itself? What's it hiding, what's it hiding?!
Amy
[reads it] Sticks, you've been nominated for an Awardy Award!
They really need a better name for that thing.
Ooh, let me see! [grabs letter, and puts on glasses to study it] Oh, wait. I can't read…
[grabs the letter] Gimme that. [reads] "In honor of saving our village, the Mayor cordially invites you to the Awardies." Huh, conveniently, you can also bring your 4 closest pals. [Everyone looks at Sticks with anticipation, including Comedy Chimp, who is there for some reason.] Sorry, Comedy Chimp. [CC sighs and leaves] Now, where was I? [clears his throat] "The Awardies will be at the Mayor's Mansion. You'll dine on", ooh, "elegant food and mingle with elegant guests. After which, the Awardy Award will be awarded to the winner." [to Sticks] Which could be you.
Amy
My summer-themed seat cushions with floral upholstery that complements each guest's natural coloring are ready. The ice sculpture has melted just enough to hide the carving marks. [Checking things off a clipboard]
And I dug a trench around the picnic table and filled it with broken glass!
[Camera pans out to show the trench and glass around the table.]
Amy
I might've used rose petals, but we'll go with it. [Turns] Sonic! How are you doing on those fruit drinks?
[Camera shows the fruit sitting on a stone, then shows Sonic, who has fallen asleep on the beach chair.]
Amy
Why am I not surprised? Tails! Where's the soothing music?!
[Sitting on the poach of Sonic's Shack with a music control panel in front of him] Right here! But, I thought it would be better if I gave it a little boost! [Presses a switch on the panel]
[Loud music comes out of the speakers, blowing a large leaf onto Amy as Tails quickly turns the music off.]
Amy
[Annoyed as she takes the leaf off her] Knuckles, are my grilled pheasants ready?
Not now, Amy, I'm busy. [Holds up hand to show he has put the raw pheasant on it like a puppet, he changes his voice as if the pheasant itself is speaking] Oh, please don't cook me, Knuckles. [Changes his voice to a lower one as he holds up his other hand with a pheasant on it] Today turned out a lot different than I expected.
Amy
[Looking upset] Sticks, sometimes I don't know why I go out of my way to make things nice for these guys.
[Standing on the poach] You deserve better. I mean, this table! It should be hanging in a museum!
Euagh! [Jumps onto the table, grabs an oyster shell and smacks it on the ground, holding the broken ends like a weapon] Back, villain! Just give me the signal, Amy, and I'll clam him!
[Tails, Knuckles, and Sonic form up behind Sticks.]
Don't let the fact that I constantly try to destroy you lead you to believe that I'm here to destroy you. I just want to hire Amy to redo my lair.
[Sonic, Knuckles, Sticks, and Tails laugh, but Amy looks flattered and happy.]
Come on, Amy, you're not buying this.
Amy
[Annoyed] Is it so hard to believe Eggman might actually respect my talents?
Well, yeah. [Realizes what he said] Wait, that came out wrong.
Amy
[Stares at her friends for a second, then happily turns to Eggman] I accept.
[The rest of the team stares in utter shock]
You can't trust him! He's evil!
Amy
[Walking over to Eggman] I can take care of myself!
Splendid! My lair awaits. After you. [Gestures to where Amy needs to go]
[Holds up one of his hands, which still has the meat on it, he changes his voice again] Don't look at me. I didn't use her lovingly prepared meal as a puppet.
[Amy is still stuck inside the cage, looking upset. She smells something]
Amy
Ew, what is that smell?
[The wall is destroyed, showing Sticks, Knuckles, Tails, and Sonic, who are dirty.]
It's us! We snuck in through a sewer pipe!
Amy
I was wondering how long it would take for you guys to miss me.
We may have a hard time saying it, Amy, but... well, you know.
Amy
[Smiles] Yeah, I know.
[Tails runs over and deactivates the cage, freeing Amy]
There's no way were going back out the way we came in. Care to do the honors? [Hands Amy her hammer]
[Sonic and Amy are waiting in line at the cashier's counter.]
Man, I am starving! Next exit: Munchytown. Population: us.
[Just as Sonic walks up to the cashier, Dr. Eggman cuts right in front of him immediately]
Hey, no cutsies! I was here first!
No way, Egghead! We've been waiting!
DIDave the Intern
Um, I believe the barrel-chested gentleman with the luxuriant mustache was first.
Amy
Sonic, let's not make a scene.
That's how we do it! Score one for Eggman. [Starts dancing as techno music plays. Sonic and Amy watch, unimpressed.] Just gotta flash the 'stache.
[Eggman is eating a burger. There are fries and a drink on his table.]
Mmm, now that's good! How's yours over there? Oh, right. Yours isn't ready yet. Should have been faster, Sonic! [Laughs evilly]
[Dave carries a tray to Sonic and Amy's table.]
Okay, here we are. Two double Meh Burgers with extra pickles.
[Laughing] Oh, this is just the best day ever!
[Eggman is eating burger and then interrupted by Dave.]
[Clears throat] I'm Dave, big fan of yours, sir. I've studied all of your attacks: the Bee Bot gambit, the lair gambit, the gambit gambit.
Ah, yes, that one was doubly risky. I like the cut of your jib. How'd you like to be my unpaid intern?
It'd be an honor to work for you without pay.
Did I mention I like you jib-cut-wise?
Amy
You'll never get away with this, Eggman!
Sonic will see you coming from a mile away!
[Inside, it is revealed that Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks have all turned evil and have Eggman's mustaches on their faces.]
Yeah! If we wanna trap Sonic, we got to think like Sonic!
[Dramatic music plays and the camera shifts to all of Sonic's evil friends before stopping on Eggman.]
This is even better than I hoped! Five evil genius masterminds!
Actually, I'm an evil mastermind of average intelligence.
Five evil genius masterminds, give or take. Working together under my leadership, we'll be unstoppable!
Amy
So here's the plan! We wait at the beach shack for Sonic, and then bombard it with an all-out robot assault from five different sides! [Moves the figurines around]
No, no, no! [Has a badnik figurine] What we should do is tunnel underneath to bypass his defenses!
[With a flying badnik figurine] We should attack from above by plane!
We have to get rid of his stupid friends first!
Amy
Robo assault!
Amy
Robo assault!
Calm down! Even though you're evil geniuses now, for the most part, you lack experience. Time for a crash course in villainy! [Laughs manically]
[Later, Eggman is in the classroom with the others.]
Evil lesson number one: Berating your underlings! Orbot. Would you kindly hand out the worksheets?
Gladly, Sir. [Proceeds to do so]
[Stops Orbot with a ruler] Not that worksheet, you dunderhead! [Knocks some of the worksheets off] See? It's that easy.
[The others write down what they saw. Now in Eggman's monitor room.]
Lesson number four: Surveillance! There's nothing more evil than recording your subjects without their knowledge. [Looks over to Orbot and Cubot messing around]
[Wearing a Viking helmet] Ota oh ha! Ota oh ha!
Get me a monkey wrench. I'll fix that.
[In a different room.]
Lesson number seven: Mustache care and maintenance. Fifty strokes every morning. But don't overdo it!
[Her mustache is messed up] Don't ask..!
[Back in the classroom.]
Lesson number twelve: Lesson numbering! Evil lessons should be numbered as followed: "1", "4", "7", "12", "16".
[Outside of the lair.]
Lesson number sixteen: Target practice!
[Eggman, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks all fire at Orbot and Cubot with Disintegrator Rays.]
We must procure assistance.
We don't have time for that! Let's just get help!
[Knuckles is seen pacing around with Amy and Sticks watching him.]
Amy
Knuckles, I see you're upset. But...
Don't bother trying to get me to talk about my feelings!
Amy
Actually, I was gonna try to get you to stop killing my grass.
Sonic the Luck Monkey beat me in Gopher Ball by getting totally lucky!
Amy
I thought you didn't want to talk about your feelings.
I don't! I just wanna yell!
Amy
We all get into a slump now and then.
Amy
Oh, really? How many times have you lost to Sonic this week?
[Starts counting with his fingers.] I told you. I don't want to talk about this!
Maybe, there's a disturbance in the Luck Balance of the Universe.
That could happen? Stupid universe.
What you need to do is burn through the rest of this losing streak, by bringing yourself as much bad luck as you can, as fast as you can, to speed up shifting the Luck Balance of the Universe, back the way it was, before this all happened!
[Amy and Knuckles stare at each other.]
Yeah. That's right. You heard me.
Amy
Shift the luck balance of the universe? Really?!
[Meteors are raining down with Knuckles at the bottom trying to get hit by one of them.]
Come on, meteors! Take your best shot!
Amy
You've got to do something! He's going to hurt himself!
What do you suggest we do?
You could lose to him on purpose.
What else ya got? [Tails and Amy have no other ideas. Sonic sighs.] I'll talk some sense into him. Leave it to me. [Jumps down and runs to Knuckles.] Knux, you're wasting your time with this luck stuff. I've been beating you lately entirely due to skill.
Skill! By the way, I beat you in this argument just now.
You didn't win yet, because I'm still saying the word 'luck'. Luuuuuck!
[Knuckes gets crushed by a meteor while Amy facepalms at this.]
Can we discuss this somewhere else?
Amy
Sticks, you gotta help us make Knuckles stop right away! He's gonna get hurt!
Not if he shifts the luck balance of the universe in time.
I guess he'll probably be eaten by a carnivorous plant and slowly digested over a period of weeks or months.
Amy
And, we agree that's not good right?
I can think of worse. But I've got confidence in him!
Confidence in a guy who believes your crazy theory?
Did you just call my theory, crazy?! [Growls]
[Sonic skids to a stop right in front of Eggman. Amy, Sticks, and Tails arrive just after.]
So Eggman, what makes you think this stunt will go any better than the last dozen or so you've pulled?
The Luck Balance of the Universe. That's what!
What? You believe that stuff, too?
[Knuckles runs up behind them.]
Sorry I'm late. What can I do to-
[The roof falls down from the sky and lands on the ground.]
I'm unscathed! I'm a little schmitzy! But no matter. It's also laundry day!
[Eggman turns around, Orbot and Cubot follow.]
[Singing] Today is my lucky day!
[Knuckles walks up, holding his head.]
You guys okay? Wow, that was nuts. I can't believe that.
We had him cornered. What are you doing here?
You're not helping! You're just bad luck! I have an idea. Since you and your bad luck just hurt our side, why don't you just join Eggman and make it official?
Fine! If that's how you're gonna be about it, I'm gonna work with someone who appreciates me! [Knuckles runs off angrily.]
Amy
Knuckles, come back! [Sonic walks up next to her.]
Hold up. Let's let this play out.
[Team Sonic is watching a meteor shower over it near a campfire.]
Amy
Tails, what are you doing?
[laying down on a rock looking at the sky] Just enjoying this beautiful meteor shower.
[Colorful meteors rain down from the night sky.]
That one's flying beautifully toward us!
[A meteor flies over Team Sonic and it crashes nearby.]
This could be a major find! We need to approach it cautiously and with great care so that–
Race ya! [speeds off while Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks follow behind]
