"Grrr!" "Knuckles, flank left." "I don't take orders from you." "You flank left." "Why must we have this discussion every time?" "(Crash!" ")" "Behold the awesome power of Octopus-bot." "Nice to meet you." "(Growls)" "Oh." "This would be easier if you'd all stop moving around." "Can't hear you." "Too busy running circles around your squid-bot." "It's not a squid, it's an octopus." "Look at the tentacles in relation to the head." "Sonic, my laser-guided unbolteriser is ready to go." "I've got a clean shot at spider-bot." "It's an octopus." "An octopus!" " Tails, have you tested it yet?" " Don't worry." "It'll work." "That's not good." "Agh!" "Whoa!" "I should have taken that log-rolling class." "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Keep 'em coming." "I can do this all day." "I could use a breather." "(Tails) Whoa!" "Heh-heh!" "How the tide has turned." "That's a nautical reference." "Cos it's a squid..." "I mean octopus." "Grrr!" "Great." "Now you've got me doing it." "Gross." "Next time study your cephalopods before we do battle." "Guys, I don't know what happened." "I'll tell you." "Your laser almost turned us into robo-fish food." "Yeah, and not the delicious flaky kind." "I'm sorry." "It malfunctioned." "Maybe it didn't malfunction." "Maybe this isn't even Tails." "What if he's a sleeper agent?" "A mole... pretending to be a fox." "A fox mole." " Yah!" " Ow!" "Quit it." " Leave him alone." "He just..." " No, Sonic, they're right." "Well, except for Sticks and that whole fox mole thing." "I put all of you in danger." "I need to go." "Tails, wait." "Tails?" "You OK, buddy?" "Tails?" "I'm not coming back till I fix my unbolteriser." "Hey, guys, go easy on Tails." "So he made a mistake." "Haven't you ever... (Horn blasts)" "Ooh, sorry if I scared you folks." "Please accept my most humble apologies." "You almost made us roadkill, pal." "A thousand pardons." "Allow me to introduce myself." "TW Barker." "Entrepreneur, owner and ringmaster of TW Barker's Circus of Wonders." "A circus, huh?" "Like with clowns?" "And elephants?" "And art made from corn husks?" "I have no idea what a circus is." "Alas, I have none of those." "My performers ate some bad sushi in the last town and have fallen gravely ill." "All I have are my two stunt bears." "So how will you put on a show?" "I won't be able to." "The children will be ever so disappointed." "Oh!" "Not the children!" "Yes, the children." "If only I could find some kind-hearted souls to help me keep the magic of the circus alive." "Mr Barker, you're in luck." "We'd be proud to volunteer in your circus." "Speak for yourself, Amy." "Why would I want to perform like some kind of trained animal?" "No offence." "Yes, yes, I understand." "The training is quite rigorous." "It's OK if you're not capable..." "Capable is my middle name." "I thought your middle name was The." "I just hope your circus can keep up with me." "I'm in." "Wonderful!" "I'm delighted to have all of you." "Oh, wait, there's one more." "Tails, come in." "We're joining the circus." "Tails?" "Tails?" "That should do it." "Oh, come on!" "Stupid piece of junk." "(Sighs)" "Welcome to the circus, where your unique abilities will be put on display for the children of the world." "Sonic, there's only one creature fast enough to master... the Sphere of Fear." "A circuitous cage with no beginning or end, allowing you to reach unparalleled speeds, all without leaving the centre ring." "Wicked." "You, my muscular friend, are formidable with your fists, but have you ever thought about using your head?" "Using my head!" "I get it." "Ooh!" "Me!" "What am I gonna be?" "An acrobat?" "A lion tamer?" "A magician performing illusions, the likes of which nobody has ever seen?" " You'll be a sad clown." " Sad clown?" "I see what's going on here." "You're giving me the lame job because I'm a girl." "I'm ready for my trapeze act, boss." "(Groans)" "(Tails) That's it!" "I didn't use a counterweight to compensate for changes in speed." "Plus this was inside." "Welcome to TW Barker's Circus of Wonders." "Tonight we bring you feats of strength, speed and agility, the likes of which you have never seen before..." "Unless you've been to any other circuses." "Enjoy!" "(Cheering)" "(Laughter)" "It's not funny, it's sad." "You're supposed to sympathise with the sad clown." "(Laughter)" "Behold the Sphere of Fear!" "One final test." "Sweet." "Just in time for "Dancing with the Robots"." "No!" "It's the season finale." "What time does the show start?" "Great job, everybody." "That was a blast." "We should do it again sometime." "Yes, you should." "And you will..." "Hey, what's the big idea?" "Well, my performers aren't exactly sick, they escaped." "So when I heard about your crew, I set up this brilliant trap." "And you mugs walked right into it." "(Knuckles groaning)" "Ugh!" "Rrrr!" "Too late, my feral friend." "Ugh!" "Agh!" "But here's the real prize." "It's not easy to catch lightning in a bottle." "So I had to special order this bottle from a mutual friend of ours." "The Sphere of Fear from Eggman Industries is unbendable, unbreakable, unmeltable, and it's yours for just six easy payments." "Plus shipping and handling." "That's how we get you." "You forgot one thing, Barker." "Me!" "Did I?" "Sweet, compassionate Amy Rose." "Think of the children." "The children!" "Wait." "That's not gonna work on me this ti..." "So is this a regional tour or..." "Oh, and in case you manage to escape," "I ordered some of these as well." "(All groaning)" "Guys, I fixed the unbolteriser." "It actually works now." "Where is everyone?" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" " Sonic, you there?" "Sonic?" " Tails!" "Man, am I glad to hear from you." "That circus creep captured us." "We need your help, buddy." "10-4, blue leader." "Help is on the way." "I've got eyes on the big top, Sonic." " (All) Tails!" " Get me out of this thing." "Great." "That thing still doesn't work." "Now, this is wicked!" "Bears!" "Moto-bugs!" "Attack!" "Ugh!" "(Tails) Sonic!" "He's getting away!" "Let me out of this infernal cage." "I'm an entrepreneur!" "That was some sweet flying, buddy." "Yeah, you did good." "Sorry for saying you were a double agent." "I didn't realise you were a triple agent." "Yeah, thanks, Tails." "Well, I'm just happy I could help." "Now let's get out of here." "(TW Barker) What?" "No!" "No!" "Wait!" "Grrr!" "Grrr!" "You can't leave me here." "Come back!" "Come back!" "Come back!" "Finally I can turn off this dreck."
