Dr. Robotnik: Thank you, Stone! It's time to say goodbye to this... piece of shiitake planet! Knuckles: Where did you get that? Robotnik: [looks to Sonic's quill in his hand and swiftly lifts it in between their faces] From a little blue menace on a planet called Earth. [Knuckles looks at him sternly] I'd be happy to show you the way.

Sonic: Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak duct tape. [peels off the duct tape, allowing the hostage to speak] Hostage: What the heck are you?! Sonic: Fear not, citizen. I am the hero you need and the hero you deserve. The blue dawn that banishes the darkest–– HOLY CRAP! [spots a pedestrian on the road and screams with the hostage as he takes the wheel and drives around her. The hostage continues to scream] Don't worry! Nobody's gonna get hurt! [the pursuit continues as the bag of dynamite slides right next to the driver’s seat] Huh. What are those? Hostage: Bombs, BOMBS! THEY’RE BOMBS! Those are bombs! Sonic: Relax, they're not even lit. So, I'll say again, nobody's gonna get–– [the dynamite sticks turn on as their fuses ignite] AAH! I was wrong! We're all gonna die! Hostage: Why aren't you slowing down? Sonic: That would require brakes. [he presses on the breaks to no avail as they are blocked by an unconscious bank robber, and he takes the bag of dynamite with his foot and picks it up with

Sonic: No need to thank me, citizens! All in the night's work for… Blue Justice! Hostage: YOU’RE A TERRIBLE HERO!!

Sonic: I can take care of myself. Tom: Sonic, taking care of yourself is not what being a hero is all about. It's about taking responsibility for other people. And now, whether you wanna hear this or not, you are still just a kid. You have some more growing up to do before you're ready to be a hero. Trust me, there will come a time when your powers will be needed. But you don't choose that moment. That moment chooses you. Sonic: Whoa. Look at you. Look, I just got–– I just got goosebumps. Wait a second, did you steal that from Oprah? Tom: No, sir, it's a Wachowski family special. Came from my dad, in this very boat, in this very lake. He would always try and steer me in the right direction. That's what Maddie and I always try to do with you. So, until your moment arrives, I want you to work on being more responsible. Comprende? Sonic: Comprende. High-five on it!

Sonic: [shocked] Eggman? Robotnik: [blows out the taser like a candle, then faces Sonic] Hello, hedgehog! Did you miss me? Sonic: I don't know how you got back, but you made a big mistake coming here. Robotnik: Au contraire, mon frere. The mistake was thinking that you've won. But that was just a prelude, an hors d'oeuvre, an aperitif, an Amuse-bouche– Sonic: I get it. Robotnik: [chuckles as he walks forward waving a finger] I don't think you do, but you're about to, and so will that idiot sheriff and his wife. [Sonic makes a fist with blue energy building up] And your little dog, too! Knuckles: Pitiful. [walks through the hallways as Sonic gets up] Sonic: What? Who are you? Robotnik: [sticks his head through the hole] Where... are my manners? [walks through the hallway and stands right behind Knuckles] Sonic, meet Knuckles. My new BFF-A-E. Best friend forever and ever! Sonic: [gets on the floor and gets his bag of rings as he wears it like a strapped backpack] Look, Robotnik, I don't

Tails: Wow. Okay, let me just say it is an honor to finally meet you, Sonic. Is it okay if I call you Sonic? Everyone calls me "Tails". You're probably wondering why. Sonic: Let me guess. Because of the extra tail? Tails: That's right! I should've known you'd get that. Sonic: Cool. Also, what is going on? Robotnik's back? And who is Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster? Tails: Oh, that's Knuckles, the last of the echidnas and the most dangerous warrior in the galaxy. He's obsessed with finding the Master Emerald. Sonic: Are you serious? The Master Emerald? That's just like a bedtime story. Tails: Well, he believes it's real, and he must think you're the key to finding it.
