"Grr!" "I finally got a cool place to lay my head every night." "Plus, I get to eat all the berries I want!" "Eating strange berries is nice and all, but aren't you afraid of..." "Muckfoot?" " You do know about Muckfoot?" " Of course we do." "But a little exposition never hurt." "Legend says he walks this very jungle, a swamp monster covered in vines, leaving behind mossy footprints wherever he roams." "I'm not gonna allow Sticks' superstitious ramblings to spoil my fun." "Who wants to join me in a night of watching the stars slowly creep across the sky?" "(Snoring)" "(Sighs)" "So, no one finds my research interesting, huh?" "If I discover a new star, I'm totally naming it after myself." "(Sound in the undergrowth)" "Mossy footprints?" "Muckfoot is real?" "I shoulda known he'd pop up when Sticks spoke of him." "This is a major breakthrough!" "It's the missing link between animal and anthropomorphic animal!" " Aaah!" " Aaah!" "Eggman, why are you wearing clown make-up?" "Why are you wearing clown make-up?" "(Yawns)" "(Snores)" "Today, I'm here to tell you Muckfoot is real!" "(Gasping)" "I always suspected Muckfoot would be a blurry, unintelligible mass!" "That's all the proof I need!" "(Cheering)" "Muckfoot Mania is sweeping the village!" "It's all thanks to a discovery by Tails the Fox." "He's no longer second banana." "Way to go, pal." "I'm really proud of ya." "(Squeals)" "Look how many people lined up to see my photo." "Rest assured I won't be engaging in any cheap exploitation" " of my discovery." " Tails!" "(Chuckles) We're here to shoot a reality show called Muckfoot Hunters!" "You like that name?" "A focus group came up with it." "Anyhoosies," "Tommy Thunder wants you to be on the show." "(Groans)" "That's right, viewers." "This brave fox risked his life to get a photo of Muckfoot." "The crazed beast grabbed him and opened its ferocious jaws, revealing rows of chainsaw teeth!" "(Imitates chainsaw)" "You know that didn't happen, right?" "It's called showmanship, kid!" "Trust Tommy." " Viewers will eat it up." " (Roaring)" "Look!" "(Growling)" "There it is, the rare, magnificent creature." "I'll shoot it with my bow and arrow!" "You folks witnessed the closest contact ever recorded of Muckfoot, thanks to Tommy Thunder and the greatest monster tracker of all time, Tails the Fox." " Look, it's Tails!" " Way to go, Tails!" "I can't keep track of my opinion of you any more." "You're hornswoggling those saps!" "Tommy Thunder explained it to me." "Lying's OK if it's done on TV." "Ugh!" " What happened to you?" " Craziest thing..." "No offence." "Woke up with a burn on my shoulder." "Must've gotten a sunburn from the moon." "That doesn't make any sense." "This ain't moon-burn season!" "I bet he got scorched by Tommy's arrow!" "Knuckles is Muckfoot!" "Nah!" "There's a logical explanation." "In this case, a mythical monster is roaming the forest and Knuckles had a completely unrelated moon-based injury." "(Growls)" "(Sighs) Fine." "We'll check it out after I finish this meet-and-greet." "Tails?" "Tails?" "Can you be close to me?" "(Snoring)" "He's totally out." "I told you..." "Every time Knuckles eats these berries, he immediately falls asleep." "It appears they induce a sleepwalking side effect!" "(Growls)" "(Growls)" "This is the busiest secluded jungle ever!" "(Snoring)" "This is all my fault." "But I'm sure Muckfoot Mania is gonna blow over in no time." "I now declare this the first annual Muckfoot Day!" "Please welcome our senior Muckfootologist, Tails!" "(Cheering)" "I ain't gonna rat you out, because I know you'll do the right thing." "Real proud of you, buddy!" "(Sniffs) They grow up so fast." "You're the man now, dog!" "Mister, when I grow up I wanna be a scientist just like you," "I betcha." "Ladies and gentlemen, this isn't easy, but after further research," "I can say with the utmost certainty that Muckfoot... is 100% real!" "(Cheering)" "Gah!" "These people are manic for Muckfoot." " Think it's time to up my game?" " (Growls)" "Look who I'm asking." "Before you say anything, I did it for the greater good." "Muckfoot has come to mean so much to this Village." "Keeping him alive in their minds is my way of being a hero." "So you're a hero because you lie?" "Hey, it's a victimless crime." "What about the suckers buying that phony Muckfoot junk?" "OK, it's a victimless crime except for the victims." "Ugh!" "(Snoring)" "(Evil laugh)" "Come one, come all!" "Witness a marvel like you've never seen before!" "He pulled the sheet off in one tug." "That was impressive." "(Snoring)" "(Gasp)" "For just a small fee, you can take your picture with Muckfoot." "For a large fee, I'll let you keep it." "But act fast." "Soon I'll take the beast on a world tour!" "Oh, no!" "Muckfoot is Knuckles and Barker has him." "It's my fault!" "Well, there it is." "The story of Tails' personal journey has come to a satisfying conclusion." " Who wants to go get some 'za?" " What about Knuckles?" "Yeah, we should probably rescue him before we eat." "But I'll call in the order now, so it's ready." "How'd I get in a cage?" "Aaah!" "I'm trapped in here with Muckfoot!" "Aaah!" "Muckfoot's more attractive brother!" "I'm surrounded!" "Outta the way!" "I got ten cities full of saps just waiting to cough up their cash for a glimpse of Muckfoot!" " But that's Knuckles!" " Of course it is!" "You can't con a conman!" "I recognise an echidna covered in mud when I see one." "But the rubes won't." "They'll pay top dollar to gawk at that thing!" "Stunt Bears, dispose of these uncultured deadbeats." "(Growl)" "You think a couple of trained bears can stop us?" "Must you always instigate with rhetorical questions?" "Where did he get all these high-tech weapons?" "Funny story." "I planned to take a short break from villainy to pursue my dream of running away with the circus." "That's why you've worn clown make-up in the jungle at night!" "That's a different thing." "You've always been a clown to me!" "Well, hardy-har-har!" "My face paint makes it look like I'm smiling, but I'm not." "Ew!" "Wait!" "That's it!" "Sonic, feed these to the bad guys!" "Here you go." "One for you." "Here you go." "Down the hatch." "(Snoring)" "(Murmuring)" "Mmm." "Attention Villagers, I have an important Muckfoot announcement!" "(Cheering)" "Boo!" "So much for me being a hero." "Oh, I'm not sure about that." "We know telling the truth wasn't easy." " You did the right thing." " Eventually." "So, I'm Muckfoot?" "But I turn into Knuckles?" "I'm a were-echidna!"
