- Knuckles the Echidna: Pitiful.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Huh, what? Who are you?
- Dr. Robotnik: Where... are my manners? Sonic, meet Knuckles. My new BFFAE; Bestest friend forever and ever.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Look, Robotnik. I don't care who you brought to help you. You're never going to get my power.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Do I look like I need your power?
- Dr. Robotnik: I discovered the source of ultimate power!
- Agent Stone: That sounds big.
- Dr. Robotnik: It's been on my vision board for years.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [both are on the beach after Knuckles saved him from drowning] You saved me.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood.
- [Sonic throws a sandball at him]
- Knuckles the Echidna: How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow!
- [Sonic throws another sandball at him]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Why did you save me?
- [Knuckles throws a giant sandball at him which buries him completely]
- Knuckles the Echidna: [making another sandball] Because you saved me first. Which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: It wasn't a tactic. I couldn't just let you die.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Why? I've been trying to destroy you since the moment we met.
- [drops the sandball]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It's about taking responsibility for other people.
- Knuckles the Echidna: [sits down next to Sonic] Hmm. Wise words. An ancient Earth proverb?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: No, sir. That's a Wachowski family special. I got it from a guy in a rowboat, someone who means a lot to me.
- [hears a plane]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Wait a second, what's that sound?
- Miles "Tails" Prower: Only Sonic the Hedgehog needs rescuing this much.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [laughs] That sly little fox.
- [to Knuckles]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Come on, Knucklehead, we're not beat yet.
- Knuckles the Echidna: On the mountain, you told me you lost everything. The way I did. But you seem so hopeful and free. How did you move forward despite failing again and again and again and again and again and again--?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Okay, I didn't fail that much. But I didn't do this all alone. I found a new family, new friends, and you can too.
- [offering his hand]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: You don't have to be alone anymore.
- [Knuckles accepts his hand, crushing it in the process]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Ow, ow, ow, ow! Are you kidding me with that handshake?
- Knuckles the Echidna: [about Dr. Robotnik's robots as he's clinging to the side of the cliff] You think these machines are a match for me? I will shatter them like the bones of a fallen--!
- [sees that the robots have formed a staircase for him to ascend]
- Knuckles the Echidna: Oh. They are stairs.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: [struggling to lift Knuckles] You're really heavy!
- Knuckles the Echidna: That's because I am one million percent muscle. Faster, fox!
- Agent Stone: You brought something. Some kind of uh, space porcupine.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Porcupine? I am an echidna. Trained since birth in all forms of lethal combat. Destined to restore honor to my tribe and willing to destroy ANYTHING that gets in my way.
- Agent Stone: Welcome to the team.
- [Knuckles crushes Agent Stone's hand]
- Dr. Robotnik: That means he trusts you, Stone. Now let's renovate this dump!
- Agent Stone: Latte! With steamed Austrian goat milk!
- Knuckles the Echidna: [holding baseball bat] Um... I don't understand. Why am I angry at the enemy ball?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: You're not angry, you just want to hit it as hard as you can and then run around the bases.
- Knuckles the Echidna: But if my quest ends where I am standing, why run at all?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [facepalms] Uh, I can't with this guy. Why do I even try?
- Agent Stone: Sir, you're magnificent!
- Dr. Robotnik: Thank you, sycophant! Your admiration is inevitable.
- Wade Whipple: [interrogating Agent Stone] I'm done playing games, pal. You're gonna tell me what I want to know. And I'm asking you for the last time... What would you like on your bagel?
- Knuckles the Echidna: [noticing Sonic's quill] Where did you get that?
- Dr. Robotnik: From a little blue menace on the planet called Earth. I'd be happy to show you the way.
- Wade Whipple: I knew a kid named Knuckles in school. Could fit his entire fist in his mouth. If this is the same Knuckles, then we are screwed!
- Dr. Robotnik: [after Super Sonic destroys his robot] Oh, it's like that? Okay, we're not friends!
- [falls out of the Death Egg Robot]
- Dr. Robotnik: LATER, HATER!
- Miles "Tails" Prower: Hope you're not still mad I hit you with that car.
- Knuckles the Echidna: [scoffs] I was completely uninjured. And my revenge will come when you least expect it, fox.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Where is it?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Oh, you want it? Here it comes.
- Knuckles the Echidna: I was expecting more of you. You're unskilled. Untrained. And unworthy!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: You forgot one: Unstoppable!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching.
- Knuckles the Echidna: You're no match for me. I've been training for this my entire life!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: And I have no training at all, yet here I am, ahead of you. That's got to be embarrassing.
- Maddie Wachowski: [Sonic has become Super Sonic they both run up to him] Sonic!
- Tom Wachowski: Buddy.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Wait, you cannot touch him! The hedgehog holds the power of the Emerald. I am sorry, he is no longer the Sonic you once knew.
- Maddie Wachowski: What?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [uses his power to summon a Chili Dog from the sky. Eating a chilli dog] Mmm, you gotta try this!
- [snaps his fingers another chili dog lands on Knuckles]
- Knuckles the Echidna: [with two sausages and tomato sauce on his eyes; annoyed] Okay. He is exactly the Sonic you once knew.
- [a hot dog bun lands on Knuckles' head]
- Miles "Tails" Prower: [after Sonic and Tails win a dance battle] Huh, wow! Only Sonic the Hedgehog could win a dance battle that epic!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Stick with me, pal. Earth can be a scary place, but I know everything about this whole pale blue dot.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: Do you... really mean that?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: I mean, not everything, but I watch a LOT of Discovery Channel, and...
- Miles "Tails" Prower: I meant about... me being your pal.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Of course, buddy.
- [Tails hugs Sonic]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Oh-ho-ho! Coming in hot!
- Miles "Tails" Prower: Growing up, I didn't have any friends. Everyone in my village thought my two tails were weird.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Hey, I know that feeling.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: But then I saw you. The fastest creature in the galaxy. You were weird too, but you were a legend. That made me think, maybe being weird isn't so bad. You inspired me to leave my village, to find you and help you in your mission.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: I'm really glad you're here, Tails.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: I'm glad I'm here too, Sonic.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [yawns] Might as well get some sleep. This feels like a good place to spend the night. You'll be able to get clear readings on your gizmo thing once the storm is over. So I...
- [finds Tails fast asleep and wraps blanket around him]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Night, Tails.
- [Tails drapes his two tails around Sonic as they sleep]
- Knuckles the Echidna: I've spent my whole life questing for this. Now I have it. Now we have it. What can we do with it? What next?
- Miles "Tails" Prower: There were once two orders of heroes who protected the galaxy from those who used the Emerald for evil.
- Knuckles the Echidna: But they've all passed on to the great battleground in the sky.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: So we start a new order. The three of us.
- Knuckles the Echidna: This is no light task. We must make a vow, to use our powers to keep the universe safe, to watch out for each other, our new tribe.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: Oh, I know! A power bump!
- [holds up his fist]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Good idea!
- [puts his fist against Tails' fist while Knuckles looks confused]
- Miles "Tails" Prower: It's an Earth custom. An unbreakable promise.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Very well. A power bump it is.
- [Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles put their fists against each other in the center]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Power Bump!
- Dr. Robotnik: You see, Earth is my turf, G.
- [suddenly starts to floss]
- Dr. Robotnik: If you don't know how to floss, you'd be lost without me!
- Knuckles the Echidna: [confused] I understand nothing of what you just said.
- Dr. Robotnik: I help you retrieve the emerald. And you use it to... DESTROY THE HEDGEHOG!
- Knuckles the Echidna: You're suggesting an alliance?
- Dr. Robotnik: Around here, we simply grip each other's hands tightly.
- [Knuckles crushes Dr. Robotnik's hand]
- Dr. Robotnik: Ow, ow, ow, ow! You truculent space bumpkin. You crushed my favorite hand.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Really? My hand is uninjured. But I'm now convinced of your commitment.
- Dr. Robotnik: "Oh, goodie!" He exclaimed while he reset two of his knuckles. I'M DELIGHTED to be on the same team.
- [summons the Egg Mobile]
- Dr. Robotnik: Road trip. I'll let you stick your nose out the window.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: All right, mustache. You want me? Come and get me!
- Dr. Robotnik: You don't tell me about coming and getting. I am on the CUTTING EDGE AT COMING AND GETTING!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Has anyone ever told you, you've got serious anger issues?
- Knuckles the Echidna: You mock me with your weak jokes, but you know nothing about me, Hedgehog.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Well, I know you echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Ruining your life? Another bad joke! I lost everything because of you. My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory. The last of the owl warriors were located soon Longclaw's Emerald secrets would be ours, but my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe would come, but it was not this moment. Those were the last words he spoke to me. I never saw him again.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: We both lost everything that day.
- Tom Wachowski: I see you tried out the spring collection.
- Dr. Robotnik: Well, if it isn't the Pastry King.
- Tom Wachowski: That's Donut Lord!
- Knuckles the Echidna: [about to crush Sonic with a boulder] Say goodbye, hedgehog.
- [Sonic panics as he notices Dr. Robotnik getting his hands on the Master Emerald]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Knuckles, stop! Robotnik's stealing the Emerald!
- Knuckles the Echidna: What kind of fool do you take me for?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Just look!
- [Knuckles turns around]
- Dr. Robotnik: Mine.
- Knuckles the Echidna: Wait! That wasn't the deal!
- [drops the boulder]
- Dr. Robotnik: [sarcastically] Oh. You poor, naive creature. It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would've seen this move coming a mile away. Or 1.6 kilometers.
- Knuckles the Echidna: [angrily] But I trusted you! You were my friend!
- Dr. Robotnik: [laughs maniacally] I'm sorry. That just hit me funny. Let this be my final lesson to you, you dimwitted celestial skin tag. Friends are open, honest and vulnerable with each other. Which means X square times the hypotenuse of Y square divided by the absolute value of friendship equals... DOOKIE!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [looks on with dread] Oh, no!
- [Dr. Robotnik lays his hands on the Master Emerald, blasting Sonic and Knuckles away]
- Dr. Robotnik: CHAOS... IS... POWER!
- [Dr. Robotnik disappears with the Master Emerald, causing the whole temple to collapse]
- Dr. Robotnik: [running from a boulder] I don't want to die like this! It's derivative! Make room for Daddy!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [wakes up to find an old lady snuggling him in her sleep] Tails! We have a situation!
- Knuckles the Echidna: I suggest the groin!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: What? No, no!
- Knuckles the Echidna: Conditionally, yes! The groin is the weakest spot!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Stop... saying... "groin"!
- [undercover agents lock Sonic and Tails in cages]
- Tom Wachowski: No. Hey, no! Let him go!
- [runs up to Sonic's cage, punches an agent and tries to open the cage door]
- Tom Wachowski: Sonic, hang on.
- [Randall subdues him]
- Randall Handal: Take it easy. It's not worth it.
- Maddie Wachowski: [steps forward] Tom!
- Commander Walters: [blocks her way] Ah-ah-ah.
- Maddie Wachowski: Sonic is not a threat! He's on our side!
- Commander Walters: He's an uncontrolled extraterrestrial. And your days of aiding and abetting him are over.
- [turns to his agents]
- Commander Walters: Secure them in the hotel until the chopper arrives.
- [they take Sonic, Tails and Tom away]
- Tom Wachowski: You're making a mistake.
- Rachel: Hold on, Major A-hole! This is still my day, and *someone* is gonna explain to me *what* the hell is going on here!
- Commander Walters: After the events in San Francisco, a global task force was created, devoted to protecting our planet from alien threats. That day, Guardian Units of Nations was born.
- Rachel: G-U-N? Seriously?
- Commander Walters: GUN, yeah.
- Maddie Wachowski: What about protecting our planet from Dr. Robotnik?
- Commander Walters: Robotnik is dead.
- Maddie Wachowski: You're wrong. He's back! And you just hauled away the only ones who could stop him.
- Commander Walters: [pulls out a walkie-talkie and turns away] Sounds like Robotnik might be back in play. If he is, I want him found *immediately*.
- [looks at Maddie, then walks off]
- Commander Walters: And cancel my 5:00 at the Olive Garden.
- Jojo: Aunt Maddie?
- Maddie Wachowski: Yeah?
- Jojo: Sonic and his friend dropped this.
- [gives Maddie a yellow backpack; inside is a collection of illuminated gadgets]
- Maddie Wachowski: [turns to Rachel] I have an idea.
- Rachel: And I want to have a word with my fiancé, and that word is "murder."
- [Sonic, Tom and Maddie tend to an unconcious Tails in the outside reception area; out at sea, a glowing green beam of light flares into the sky; Commander Walters is gagged and tied to a chair]
- Tom Wachowski: Sonic... what is that?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: A big problem. The compass led Robotnik to the Emerald.
- Maddie Wachowski: That's gotta be hundreds of miles away.
- Tom Wachowski: All right. Huddle up. Let's figure out a plan.
- [to Sonic]
- Tom Wachowski: Together.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [starts walking away] There's no time for that. I'm the only one that can get there fast enough.
- Maddie Wachowski: Sonic, this is way too big for you to do by yourself.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [turns back and indicates Tails] You see that little fox over there? He came all the way across the universe to meet his hero, and what did his hero do? I practically got him killed.
- [to Tom]
- Sonic the Hedgehog: You know what? You were right. My moment came, and I blew it. I'm no hero.
- Tom Wachowski: Wait.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: No. I'm not letting anyone else get hurt because of me. I'm gonna fix this while I still can.
- [races off into the distance]
- Tom Wachowski: Sonic!
- [Tails wakes up]
- Miles "Tails" Prower: [gasps] Sonic, wait!
- [tries to fly, but falls on his face and groans; Tom and Maddie rush to his side]
- Maddie Wachowski: Hold on, wait.
- Tom Wachowski: Hey, hey, hey.
- Maddie Wachowski: Don't move.
- Tom Wachowski: Take it easy, little guy. You're hurt.
- Miles "Tails" Prower: But we have to help him. You don't know what he's up against.
- [on the horizon, the green light glows brighter; Commander Walters watches from his chair]
- Tom Wachowski: You believe us now?
- Commander Walters: [nods sheepishly] Mmm-hmm.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: [to the restrained security guard in a truck he's driving] Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak duct tape.
- Tom Wachowski: Sonic!
- Maddie Wachowski: What's happening? Are you hurt?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: No, no, I'm fine.
- Tom Wachowski: Okay, good. BECAUSE YOU'RE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!
- Maddie Wachowski: Okay, you calm down!
- [turns to Sonic]
- Maddie Wachowski: *You* talk!
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Okay, quick version. Robotnik is back on Earth, and he's after a magic emerald. We need to get it back or the world is doomed!
