"Grr!" "(Explosions)" " That all you got?" " Ha!" "You were so distracted with phase one of my plan that phase two was executed right under your noses!" "Behold!" "Made ya look!" "(Sighs)" " So, how was your defeat?" " Uh..." "He means to say, how was your evenly matched battle?" "Oh, you know, pretty evenly matched." "On a point system, I probably would have won." "(Sighs)" "A theoretical victory is the second-best kind!" "Why not celebrate with a nice, hot cup of tea?" "I've thrown everything I can at that blue gopher." "There's gotta be something I haven't tried yet!" "That's it!" "What is it that Sonic's most afraid of?" "That someone will discover he sneaks down to the lair basement to put on costumes and sing show tunes?" "Good guess, but no." "He's afraid of water!" "I can't defeat Sonic because we face each other on land." "Yeah." "That's the reason." "Time for a musical montage!" " ♪ Oh, my..." " No show tunes!" "(Sighs)" "(Rock music)" "As soon as my lucky shorts are clean, we'll put my plan into effect." "I'll confront Sonic underwater!" "All right, let's start with the basics." " This is a pawn." " Don't kid yourself." "We're all pawns on the big chessboard of life." "(Explosion)" "I'm starting to like this game!" "Holy mackerel!" "It's raining minnow!" "Hallelujah." "Well, that was random." "(Explosion)" "This must be what birds feel like!" "Look at me, I'm a penguin!" "We're closing in on the source." "Ugh!" "Aaah!" "Ugh!" "(Loud noise)" "Uh..." "Test." "One, two." "One, two." "Looks like you found me, Sonic." "And just as I was about to create a giant wave to flood the entire Village, destroying everything." "Guess you'll have to come down here and stop me." " (Knuckles) What did he say?" " Let's get him!" "Now, Amy, we don't wanna get ahead of ourselves." " He might be bluffing." " Who's making stuffing?" "I'm detecting some unusual seismic activity." "It'll lead to a devastating tidal wave" " in less than eight hours!" " We gotta do something!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Where's the fire?" "We got eight hours." "Why don't we hit up Meh Burger for some munchies?" "Don't wanna fight on an empty stomach, am I right?" " Am I right?" " OK." "Wait!" "Where are you going?" "Evil plan over here!" "Needs some thwarting!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Outta the way, penguin!" "They'll be back." "A hero can't allow his Village to be devastated." "I think it's in their manual or something." "I'll just have to wait it out." "Grr!" "I should have brought a Sudoku." "So, what do you guys wanna do after this?" "Catch the new Tommy Thunder flick?" "Play some volleyball?" "Master every instrument in the orchestra?" "I was thinking maybe we'd stop Eggman." "Safety first, Tails." "What is it they say?" "You can't swim for three hours after a meal?" " Sonic, you're stalling." " Stalling?" "I'm not stalling." "Why would I?" "I hate stalling." "Here's a list of things I like better than stalling." "Root beer, bean burritos, first day of spring," " second day of spring, third..." " Ahem!" "Fine." "I admit it, I still can't swim!" "I never took those lessons at the community pool." "Sonic, you promised!" "They wanted to put me in the beginner's class with the kids." "I can't be swimming around with 5-year-olds!" "They're cruel when they sense weakness." "That's why, on the first day, you have to beat up" " the biggest one in the yard." " Knuckles, that's prison." " Only if you let it be." " I suspected Eggman might try something like this one day." " That's why I created these." " Good thinking, Tails." "We'll stuff 'em with leaves, dump 'em in the ocean, and start a new life two towns over." "No, they're high-tech wetsuits for battling Eggman underwater." "Fine." "We'll go with plan B." "All right, here I go." "Maybe you need a little boost." " No, no, no, no, no." " This is more serious than we thought." "We need to call in a professional." "So, tell me everything." "Don't let the fact I'm an award-winning journalist stop you from sharing your innermost secrets and fears." " Award-winning?" " Just because they give them to everyone who participates doesn't mean they're not awards!" "Now, the thing to remember here is water is not scary." "Just regular, harmless H20." "Aaah!" "Put it out!" "Put it out!" "(Blows)" "(Sigh with relief)" "Bad example." "If you follow the steps of my patented system," "I guarantee you'll be in the water in no time." "Step one..." " You'll probably be fine!" " No!" "I can't swim!" "Those five-year-olds were right!" "Cruel, but right!" "Oh, yeah, this thing floats." "All right." "I'll just stay here until someone comes to rescue me." "Or maybe I can face my fears." "We're here, Sonic." "How you handling things?" "This isn't so bad." "It's actually kind of OK." "I totally got this!" "Huh?" "Aaah!" "Just testing out the elasticity of the suit." "Keep swimming North." "Eggman's pod should be straight ahead." "And if you come across any Sea-People, you don't know me!" "Capisce?" "(Snoring)" "Look who conquered his fear and is here to thwart your evil plan." "Good for you." "I'm glad you're not concerned about the millions of tons of water around you." " (Gulps)" " Yep." "No oxygen down here." "Not even a bubble." "Nothing but water in every direction." " Oh, and also Crab Bots." " What?" "Time to kick some crab butt." "Hold on, it's coming." "Just a sec." "Hey, come back!" "You're supposed to be crushified!" "Sonic, a little help here!" "I'm like a fish out of water in water." "Ow!" "Quit it!" "Pinches!" "OK, this isn't so hard." " Oh, come on!" " Hang tight, Sonic." "No, no, no, no!" "Tails!" "Red alert!" "Sonic's air hose has been cut!" "I didn't bring a spare, but maybe we can use the hose from the plane's cooling system." " I'll bring it to Sonic." " You don't have a wetsuit." "I don't need a wetsuit." "(Gasping)" "(Deep breath)" "Did I mention how much I hate water?" "Aw!" "You having a rough time, Sonic?" "Wanna take a break?" "Well, too bad, 'cause here they come, the newest minions on Team Eggman," "Shark Bots!" "Hey, chum bucket!" "This way!" "Yeah!" "Ha, ha!" "Giddy up!" " Tails, where am I taking 'em?" " There's a weak spot at the bottom right-hand side of Eggman's wave machine." "Aaah!" "Great hit, Sonic!" "Now the machine's facing away from the Village." "It's gonna blow!" "We gotta get outta here!" "I have a feeling something bad is gonna happen." " (Explosion)" " Aaah!" "Jeez, hope I remembered to renew my flood-insurance policy." "Well, Sonic, aren't you glad you overcame your fears?" "Overcame?" "Are you crazy?" "They've all been magnified tenfold!" "That was the scariest thing ever!" "I never want to see water again." " Step two!" " Grr!" "Is this a bad time to ask for my cheque?"
