"Grr!" "♪ Pretty, pretty, pretty" "♪ My toys, so full of evil" "♪ It warms my stony heart to think" "♪ Of the bad that we'll achieve'll!" "♪ You're much more fun, oh, so much fun" "♪ 'Cause I am your creator" "♪ From tiny robot pickpockets" "♪ To my particle... ♪" "Accelerator?" "My particle accelerator!" "(Screams)" "My birds!" "(Screams)" "So, Dr Eggman, does this particle accelerator have any distinguishing features that would help us identify it?" "Let's see..." "It has a small scratch on its left side." "So there's that." "And also..." "it's a particle accelerator!" "You got a lot of those roaming the streets of your village?" "Hmm, genius?" "I'm sorry." "I'm just so upset." "I've never seen him like this." "I kinda like it!" "And this is Dr Eggman's Think-ubator, the room where he "hatches" his brilliant ideas." "Get it?" "Pearls before swine." "And it was from here that Dr Eggman's particle accelerator was stolen." "(Gasp)" "Not his particle accelerator!" "I was hoping to get a picture with it." "This tour bites." "It was about yay big." "It was made of polished titanium." "It accelerated particles." "Am I leaving anything out?" "(Slurps) Someone want to remind me why I'm here?" "Because you stole it!" "(Gasp)" " That's nuts." " If it wasn't you, why was my lair littered with chili dogs scraps?" "(Gasp)" "I dunno." "(Gasp)" "And look at these footprints!" "(Gasp)" "(Gasp)" "Would you stop gasping dramatically?" "(Gasp)" "Seriously, guys." "I'm the hero." "He's the villain." "I mean, he has an evil lair!" "He has mindless henchmen!" " No offence." " No, you're onto something." "Sorry, Dr Eggman." "I'd love to close this case, but before I can arrest Sonic I'm gonna need more!" "Like, uh, if this was part of a pattern." "Sarge, where shall I put this crate of recent photos of crime scenes where partially eaten chili dogs and Sonic-shaped footprints were found?" "(Gasp)" "That'll do it." "Sonic T Hedgehog, you are under arrest!" "You have the right to remain silent." "(Gasp)" " (Chuckles)" " You leave me no choice." "I'll find the real thief and clear my name." "Know why?" "Hero!" "Oh!" "So, uh, who wants to see the rumpus room?" "(Gasp)" "I demand action!" "Sonic stole my walking stick!" "And my jewellery!" "He stole my keys and hid them in my sofa cushion!" "OK, I lost my keys and found them three days later in the cushion." " But we should get him anyway!" " We should form a posse." "Everyone, please calm down!" "This is not the time for rash behaviour!" "When would be a good time?" "I like to plan my rash behaviour in advance." "How about I bake up a batch of my famous cookies and put them on the windowsill?" "Sonic will smell them and come to steal one." "But he won't know that they're laced with poison, so..." " We're not trying to kill him." " Oh." "(Chuckles) I'm so embarrassed." "Have a cookie." "(Grating noise)" "I'll catch this Hedgehog for you, but it ain't gonna be easy." "Don't worry, we'll all pitch in." "No!" "Unlike tying my shoes or brushing my teeth," "I have to do this without any help." "(Strains)" "Uh, you have to pull and jiggle the knob." "I am pulling and jiggling!" "I'll use the window." "(Groans)" "(Door squeaks open)" "Whoa, slow down there, Bob!" "You're making the rest of us look bad." "(Bell rings)" "Sorry, Earl." "Just trying to finish so I can knock off early." "Big plans tonight?" "Not like there's much to do around here" " 'cept playing' horseshoes." " Oops!" "Sorry, Earl!" "I'm on the trail of a man that did me wrong." "That so?" "You know, a fella just came through town." "In a real hurry too." "Headed into the East Forest, yonder." "Well, them crates ain't gonna stack themselves." "Unless they're self-stacking crates." "Ha!" "That'd be sweet." "Sorry, Earl!" "Earl?" "Earl?" "Hmm." "Mmm-hmm." "Sonic was here." "(Twig breaking)" "(Screams)" "Oh!" "How did you track me?" "We followed the trail of twigs covered in spit." "Oh!" "Stop following me!" "I don't need help!" "This is a shortcut." " What is it, Doc?" " The scientific term is he got hit in the head by too many horseshoes." " You gotta help him!" " Oh, sure." "Let me just whip up some anti-horseshoe elixir!" "Hey, if you can't help him, just say so." "No, seriously." "I've got a recipe for anti-horseshoe elixir." "I just need some pink-orchid root." "But it only grows in the West Forest." "Oh, I don't suppose that's anywhere near the East Forest?" "If I'm gonna catch the guy that framed me, I gotta go east." "But if I want to help you, I gotta go west." "Excuse me, ma'am." "I'm looking for this guy." "Goes by the name Sonic and he's very fast." "Oh, kinda like that guy." "Hey, wait a second!" "I bet that guy knows Sonic." "Ah, the pink orchid!" "Well, that was easy." "I was expecting some kind of complication." "Kinda like that." "Knuckles, is that you?" "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." " But it is." "Who's this?" " Sonic." "Oh, sorry." "I didn't recognise you with a basket on your head." " Dude, I didn't steal anything!" " I know!" "But there's a posse on your tail." "I don't want to lose you." "You're a valuable member of Team Knuckles!" "Team Knu... ?" "I'm not even gonna argue." " Let's get this orchid to Earl." " Right." "Just one question." "Who's Earl, what's an orchid, and... and where are we?" "Here you go, Doc." "Am I too late?" "Don't worry, Bob." "I'll fix up Earl newer'n a summer cricket whistling' on fallin' dewdrop." " Know what I mean?" " Not at all." "But we've got no time to waste." "Come on, Knuckles." "Hey!" "I know those guys from somewhere." "There goes Sonic!" "And he's taken Knuckles hostage!" " (Gasp)" " Sorry!" "Look, Sonic." "It's you!" "Where'd he go?" " Metal Sonic!" " Allow me." "(Whirring)" "Oh." "That can't be good." "Knucks, look out!" "Ugh!" "My cupcakes are missing, Grandma!" "Ha, ha!" "You're gonna regret that." " (Metallic sound)" " Uh-oh." "Don't you just hate when that happens?" "I can do this all day." "Eggman's particle accelerator?" "That's just cheating!" "How do you live with yourself?" "Uh-oh again." "(Panting)" "I guess when you get tired, you can just recharge." "That's the difference between you and me, Metal." "I don't get tired." "Sorry!" "I got a little something for ya, Eggie." "I found your particle accelerator and all the stuff that was stolen from the village and brought it back, which proves I didn't steal any of it!" " Case closed!" " He's got you there, Egghead!" "Case not closed!" "You have it, therefore you must've stolen it!" " Now case closed!" " He's got you there, Sonic!" "Officer, arrest this man!" " Bob!" " Earl?" "This landed by the warehouse." "I thought you might need it." "That's the real thief." "Not him!" "My robot duplicate that Eggman used to frame me." "All lies!" "Now, if you'll excuse me," "I'll take my metal duplicate of you suitable for framing and my particle accelerator and go." " Thanks, Earl." " It's the least I could do after you saved my life." "I was deader'n a peapod in a mud bucket tea kettle after flippidyhoodledoopfazzlebazzle!" "(Laughter)" "We're closing in on him, boys, and we're not leaving this forest without him!" "(Wolf howls)" "Or we could go home now."
