"♪" "Grrr!" "(Grunting)" "Yah!" "Agh!" "I could use some help here." "I'm all over it." "Ugh!" "Oof!" "Anyone order a butt-kicking with a side of pain and extra humiliation sauce?" "(Eggman) Grrr!" "Agh!" "I always knew you'd fall for me." "Ohh!" "Knuckles the Echidna, my arch nemesis." "You never learn, do you, Egghead?" "You'll never defeat my team." "We're a team?" "We should get matching uniforms." "Oh, Sonic." "Uniforms by definition match." "Now, if you'll excuse me, the grown-ups have some work to do." "(Grunts)" "No!" "Oh, got it." "That was almost the worst disaster imaginable." "Mmm!" "Yah!" "Kill it with fire!" "Calm down." "It's just Knuckles." " Oh." "Kill Knuckles with fire!" " Cool entrance, Knucks." " You were meant to get buns." " In mid-battle?" "Sweet Amy, there'll be time for your delicious burgers after we've defeated that dastardly deviant Eggman." "Nice vocab." "And impressive alliteration." "You been taking night classes?" "Hey, guys." "Who's the beefcake?" "(Sticks) They really look alike." "We need to figure out how to tell them apart." "Our Knuckles can wear something to distinguish himself." "But which one's our Knuckles?" "Well, that depends." "What does "distinguish" mean?" "No way!" "I'm not wearing that." "I'd be honoured to wear your ridiculous hat, my dear." "Ohh!" "He may look like Knuckles, but he sure doesn't talk like him." "Hey!" "I talk gooder than you." "There's a perfectly rational explanation for this." "I just haven't figured it out yet." "(All sigh)" "Worry not, young Tails." "Be diligent." "In time, the answer will seek you." "Whoa." "I sound like a fortune cookie." "Oh, 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?" "Only available for a limited time." "What's going on here?" "Everyone seems to be the opposite of their normal selves." "Hmm." "I think I understand what's happening." "They say it's available for a limited time to create a false demand." "That's how they get you." "Also I figured out that this guy is from another dimension." "Another dimension?" "You mean with duplicates of each of us?" "What if another one of me shows up?" "I can't trust me, I'm a loose cannon." "Waaagh!" "For years it's been theorised that a mirror dimension exists parallel to our own." "Theorised by whom?" "Theorised by me." "You see, the two Knuckleses are polar opposites." "One is smart, sophisticated, charming, likeable and a born leader." "(Both) Thank you." "And the other one thought I meant him." "So how do we send him back?" "That depends on how he got here in the first place." "What's the last thing you remember?" "As I led my team to certain victory," "Eggman's Octopus Bot was shooting red and blue beams." "Two of them crossed, creating a purple beam." "Sonic tried to save me, but he was too clumsy and fell." "Boy, the two dimensions really aren't that different." "Hmm..." "I'll need some time to experiment so I can replicate the beam frequencies." "Forget that." "If my dimension's Eggman had the technology to send me here, your dimension's should have what we need to send me back." "Great idea!" "Let's go ask Eggman." "Who said anything about asking?" "Let's take it." "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission." "Wow, I sound like a whole box of fortune cookies." "Let's do this." "Follow me, team." "Not so fast, Silly Hat Knucks." "We're not aggressors." "Tails will figure this out." "We must be patient." "You can sit on the sidelines if you want, but I'm taking action." "I don't know what just happened, but I'm pretty sure we're mad at you guys." " (Crash) - (Knuckles) Ow!" "Ah, there you are, buddy." "Hope you're not mad about before." "We got you a card to cheer you up." ""Sorry the alternate dimension you is a jerk."" "(Grunts)" "Stupid card!" "I didn't want to lift it anyway." "Whoa!" "Yah!" "Ugh!" "I'm fine, guys, I swear." "I hate it when he does that." "This must be tied to the other Knuckles." "You mean that guy with the hat?" "Having two of you in the same dimension is causing a catastrophic anomaly." "Oh, that's my least favourite kind." "Well, that and mint chocolate chip." "Urgh." "Tails, English, please." "Because both Knuckles are here, the boundary between the two dimensions is eroding." "Eventually both will implode." "We need them together so I can send the smart one back." "Tails, keep working on your red-blue-purple beam thing." "Amy, Sticks and I will go to Eggman's lair to bring back that other guy." "(Grunting)" "Huh?" "Ugh!" "OK, everyone ready to put the plan into action?" "(Both) Yeah!" "(Eggman) I'm busy!" "Come back tomorrow." " (Groans)" " Hey, you're my prisoner." "You can't disappear like that." "Stop flickering." "All right, plan B." "Ugh!" "Imagine Sonic's face when he sees I have Knuckles trapped." "You don't have to imagine, Egghead, cos here I am." "That was a bit of a let-down." "I was expecting a bigger reaction." "Maybe shock, outrage, perhaps even a little ennui." "Anywho..." "Moto-bugs, attack!" "Look who broke down the wall." "The non-aggressors." "Dude, this is more of a rescue than an attack." "Excuses are easy to manufacture, but hard to sell." "Why is Knuckles talking like a fortune cookie?" "That's not Knuckles." "It's his double from another dimension." "Oh, that explains the hat." "So you can tell them apart." "Great idea." "Thank... you." "Wait." "There are multiple Knuckleses 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." "What are you waiting for?" "Get him out." "The reason alternate dimension Knuckles is here is that alternate dimension Eggman shot him with alternate dimension Octopus Bot lasers." "That's so alternate dimension me." "Could we borrow your lasers so Tails can send this guy back and prevent the destruction of everything?" "Sure." "You should have just asked me in the first place." "But I need them back by Thursday." " What's happening Thursday?" " I'm gonna attack your..." "I mean, I'm having a party." "For this to work, you need to be touching." "So when I tell you to, bump fists." "Farewell, new friends." "I've learned much from this wonderful journey." "OK..." "Here goes!" "Oops." "Uh, forgot to change batteries." "Awkward." "Yeah, it's like when you say goodbye to someone and then both walk away in the same direction." " So awkward." " People always follow me." "All set." "(All sigh)" "Bump!" "By the way, Sonic, you're much more capable in this dimension." "Nice meeting you." "You're the handsomest fellow I ever met." "Thank you, dim-witted version of me." "Cool!" "Can I do that again if I rub my feet on the carpet and touch things?" "Ugh!" "Here, buddy, let me help you." "Oh, thanks, Knucks."
