Knuckles, Charlie and others in “Unfinished Business”

[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!
