Knuck Knuck! Who's Here?/Transcript

This is the transcript from the Sonic Boom episode, "Knuck Knuck! Who's Here?".

[Scene: Seaside Island, day]
 * [Team Sonic are engaged in a battle against Eggman's Badniks. A Bee Bot fires an orb at Tails, but he bats it away with his wrench, scoring a direct hit and destroying it.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Hey! No bats bees!
 * [As another Bee Bot fires an orb, Amy whacks it with her hammer. A Ball Bot bounces towards Sticks, but she uses a net to contain it. She swings the net throwing the Ball Bots away. Sonic spin attacks a group of Crab Bots.]
 * Sonic: Strike!
 * Knuckles: Sonic! How about a lift?
 * [Sonic deploys an Enerbeam. He and Knuckles grab the ends. Sonic spins Knuckles round and lets him go. Knuckles glides through a group of Motobugs.]
 * Knuckles: Next time, look where you're going!
 * [Suddenly, he bangs his head on a rock, knocking him to the ground unconscious.]
 * Amy: Knuckles! We better wrap this one up.
 * [Sonic homing attacks three more robots before returning back. Team Sonic stare at Eggman.]
 * Dr. Eggman: Well. My evening's just opened up. Maybe I'll check out that new falafel place. I have a coupon for unlimited houmous. So long, losers!
 * [Eggman flees while the rest of Team Sonic check on Knuckles.]

[Scene Change: Sonic's Shack, day]
 * [Team Sonic move Knuckles to Sonic's Shack, resting him on a hammock.]
 * Knuckles: Whoa. Where am I?
 * Amy: You're in Sonic's Shack.
 * Knuckles: Oh cool. Who's Sonic?
 * Tails: I'm afraid that blow to the head must've given Knuckles amnesia.
 * Sonic: You mean like in Hackey's sitcom?
 * Tails: No. [Pauses] But just in case we should take him to a familiar place to refresh his memory, like in Hackey's sitcom.

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, beach, day]
 * Amy: Your name is Knuckles. You're an echidna from Angel Island, and you're the last of your kind.
 * Sticks: You love lifting heavy stuff. You're the strongest one here.
 * Knuckles: Clearly?
 * [Sonic groans]
 * Tails: Try lifting some weights. Maybe that'll jog your memory.
 * [Knuckles lifts up the weight.]
 * Knuckles: I'm still not remembering anything.
 * [Sticks screams, giving Knuckles a fright, tossing the weight up in the air. It lands on Knuckles injured head, knocking him out cold again.]
 * Sonic: Sticks, what the heck?!
 * Sticks: Everyone knows the best way to cure somebody of amnesia is to scare them.
 * Amy: [Frowning] That's hiccups.
 * Sticks: Well, no harm, no foul.
 * Knuckles: [Hurt] Whoa. What happened?
 * Sonic: You're awake. [Shows Knuckles two fingers] How many fingers am I holding up?
 * Knuckles: Oho Sonic. You know I can't count past three.
 * Amy: Just to be safe, why don't you tell us who you are and what you remember about yourself.
 * Knuckles: I'm Knuckles the Echidna. I'm from Angel Island. I'm the beloved leader of this group and [Glumly] the last of my kind.
 * [He blows a dandelion]
 * Tails: Why so glum? You always knew you were the last of your kind.
 * Knuckles: Yeah but, suffering from head trauma really got me thinking clearly for the first time. [Upset] Until I find a family, I'm all alone in this world.

[Scene Change: Village Center, day]
 * [Knuckles knocks on the door. Warthog Male opens it, frowning at Knuckles.]
 * Knuckles: [Reading the card] Greetings, good sir, madam. My name is Knuckles and I am the last of my...
 * [Warthog Male abruptly shuts the door.]
 * Knuckles: For only pennies a day, you too can sponsor an echidna just like...
 * [Another door closes in front of him]
 * Knuckles: [Wailing outside the house] I just wanna be loved! Is that so wrong?
 * Warthog Male: Maybe you should try another house.
 * [Closes the door again. Child Monkey, Rabbit Girl and Fennec Male also close their doors. Knuckles knocks on Mrs. Vandersnout's house. She opens it.]
 * Knuckles: Hey, can I live with you no okay I understand. [He walks away]
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Wait! I'll take you in. I could use a strapping young man like you to help around the house.
 * Knuckles: [Excited] Unpaid manual labor is just as good as unconditional love. I'm in!
 * [Knuckles walks through the door. Looking around the room, he picks up a photo. Mrs. Vandersnout takes it from Knuckles.]
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: That's my late husband. Oh how he loved taking old-timey photos in that kiosk at the mall.
 * [Knuckles wants to sit on the sofa, but she stops him.]
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Stop! The furniture is only for company.
 * Knuckles: But I thought I was company.
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Well, aren't you sassy for a houseboy?
 * [Knuckles rides her to Meh Burger.]
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Chase, young man. We don't want to miss the early bird special.
 * [Team Sonic watch him. Sonic shows a don't know pose.]

[Scene Change: Meh Burger, afternoon]
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: It's so much better eating supper at 4:00 p.m. None of the usual riffraff.
 * Amy: Oh, hey Knuckles.
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Ah! Riffraff?
 * Knuckles: Guys. Let me introduce you to my new grandmother: Mrs. Vandersnout.
 * [She hisses, protecting her book]
 * Tails: [Hesitating] She seems... nice.
 * Knuckles: Se sure is. I got to spend all day doing fun stuff like playing mahjong, writing angry letters to the newspaper, removing skeletons from her bird feeder.
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: Oh, look at the time. We need to head back if we want to be in bed by 5:30.
 * Knuckles: [Annoyed] Grandma, you're embarrassing me in front of my friends!
 * Mrs. Vandersnout: [Angrily] My house, my rules! If you don't like it then I'll find a new house, bully! [She walks off, grabbing Dave the Intern with her walking stick.]
 * Dave: Hey! Can we swing by my mom's place to get my retainer?
 * Knuckles: I'll never forget all the good times we had together.
 * [The camera blurs then reverts back to normal.]
 * Knuckles: That probably would've been a lot more impressive if we'd actually had any good times. Oh well. I can't let that stop me. [Clenching his fist] I have to find my family.

[Scene Change: Gogoba Village, day]
 * Gogoba Chief: Welcome, Knuckles. The newest member of our tribal family. Sure, he's one more mouth to feed during this terrible famine, but that's OK.
 * [One Gogoba comes rushing in.]
 * Gogoba: [Panting] A boulder is blocking access to the well. I could move it even though the weight will blow out my knees, not lose my athletic scholarship.
 * Knuckles: As the newest member of the family, I'll move the boulder!
 * [The Gogobas gasp in horror at Knuckles.]
 * Gogoba Chief: Your friendly and helpful demeanor, it's an insult to our humble shame mongering culture. It's clear now, you'll never be one of us!
 * [Knuckles groans and walks away.]
 * Gogoba Chief: Oh sure, go on, leave us without any well water. We'll just die of thirst.
 * Knuckles: Fine, I'll move the boulder.
 * [Knuckles walks to the boulder.]

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, Day]
 * [Knuckles is walking alone on the beach. He notices Stratford and Chumley playing in the sand, with Lady Walrus sitting on the sun bed reading. He walks over to her.]
 * Knuckles: Hey. You look like well-adjusted folks. But hopefully I'm wrong, and you're actually the kind of people who taken a weird stranger is a member of your family.
 * Lady Walrus: Well, I always wanted a daughter.
 * Knuckles: I'm not a girl.
 * Lady Walrus: [Angrily] I said, I always wanted a daughter!

[Scene Change: Meh Burger, day]
 * [Knuckles is wearing a dress sitting with Lady Walrus and her children. The rest of Team Sonic watch over him.]
 * Lady Walrus: Careful not to stain your brand-new dress pumpkin.
 * Amy: Heartbreaking isn't it.
 * Sonic: Yeah, floral print really draws attention to all the wrong areas.
 * Sticks: I say we hit him on the head again.
 * Stratford: Oh sweet. A Councilman McMeh toy.
 * Knuckles: Is that the one with pencil-pushing action? [Aggressively] Oh Gimme!
 * [Knuckles tries to snatch the toy from Stratford. The two fight over it.]
 * Knuckles: Let go!
 * Stratford: It's mine!
 * Knuckles: No it's not!
 * Stratford: It's...
 * Lady Walrus: This isn't working! I was expecting a daughter who is more ladylike.
 * Knuckles: [Panicking] I can be ladylike! Watch!
 * [Knuckles looks at Lady Goat sitting alone.]
 * Knuckles: [Girl's voice] I love your shoes!
 * [Lady Goat looks back at Knuckles.]
 * Knuckles: [Whispering] I don't really love her shoes. [Stands up excitedly] Huh? Huh?
 * [Lady Walrus shakes her head and walks off, with her children following. Knuckles sulks.]

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, Night]
 * [Knuckles is sitting alone on a bench. Charlie and Belinda walk over to him.]
 * Charlie: Well, well, well. If it isn't my arch nemesis Knuckles.
 * Knuckles: I'm sorry. Have we met?
 * Charlie: [Angrily] Of course we met! [Clenching his fist] You got me fired from two different jobs, you almost ended my merit, you ruined my life!
 * Knuckles: Oh yeah. How you doing?
 * [Charlie growls at Knuckles]
 * Knuckles: Hmm... I'm not doing so hot either. I just want a family. I can't find one.
 * Belinda: Maybe we can be your family.
 * Charlie: [Quietly] Honey, what are you doing? Why would you invite him into our home? He's a demon incarnate.
 * [They watch Knuckles petting a rabbit.]
 * Belinda: [Quietly] Well, I'll admit his shoes are awful, but don't you get it? The ultimate revenge would be to prey on his vulnerabilities. First, we welcome him into our family. Then, we turn him to the side of evil. [Charlie and Belinda laugh evilly. Knuckles joins in but they stop. He wraps his arms around the two.]
 * Knuckles: There's one thing I learned from my time is teenage walrus girl. It's you gotta go along to get along.
 * [A Montage plays in black and white. Knuckles, Charlie and Belinda fly their kites. They then watch Comedy Chimp with Knuckles and Belinda throwing some popcorn. They all laugh at each other. The next scene shows Knuckles setting the barbecue on fire. Charlie blows out the fire with the extinguisher. Thay laugh at themselves. Afterwards, Knuckles takes a toy from the table. Charlie tries to grab it back but Belinda holds him back to his seat.]

[Scene Change: Village Center, day]
 * [Knuckles is strolling along with a bag of food whistling. Sonic appears and walk up to him.]
 * Sonic: Hey, Knuckles. What's up?
 * Knuckles: Oh just picking up dinner for my family. Went to that new falafel place. You got stellar reviews on Eggman's food blog. Yeah, but enough chitchat. Charlie and Belinda are waiting.
 * Sonic: Charlie and Belinda?! But they're villains! They tried to destroy you.
 * Knuckles: [Angrily] How dare you use facts to besmirch my family! [Upset] A family who's loved and taken care of me for the past 22 and a half hours. You're a harmless monster!
 * [Knuckles breaks down crying, drops the bag and runs back to Charlie and Belinda's house, covering his eyes on a pillow.]
 * Belinda: Knuckles, dear. What's wrong?
 * Knuckles: [Sobbing] Sonic. He said you guys were vi-vi-v-villains!
 * Belinda: I think it's time, for the talk.
 * [Knuckles sits on Charlie's lap.]
 * Charlie: You see, we are villains. But that doesn't make us bad people.
 * Belinda: Well, technically it does. But we took you in when no one else would. And if you want to continue being part of this family, then you'll have to be a villain too.
 * [Knuckles blinks and sheds a tear.]

[Scene Change: Village Center, day]
 * [The four members of Team Sonic are walking at the Village Center.]
 * Sonic: Ugh... If I never eat baba ghanoush again it'l be too soon.
 * [They get a fright and jump out of the way as lasers fire and touch the ground. They look up and notice Charlie in his Mech Suit and Knuckles. Charlie roars with evil laughter.]
 * Knuckles: Sorry guys. Nothing personal. But family comes first!
 * Belinda: Now Knuckles, be a good boy and [Shrieking] ground 'em! Go with the jaguar!
 * [Knuckles unleashes the Ground pound at Team Sonic. They all jump out of the way. He tries to pound Amy but she dodges. He tries to pound Sonic but he dodges the attack as well. Sticks flips over onto the rock and back to the ground when Knuckles tries to pound her. Tails walks up to him from behind.]
 * Tails: Hey! Quit it!
 * [Charlie's Mech suit fires lasers at him but he dodges. Charlie roars and fires more lasers at Amy. She unleashes her hammer and swings the laser shot back at him. He ducks down and dodges it. Suddenly, he gets trapped in a net that Sticks has thrown, and falls to the ground. The rest of Team Sonic gather round and watch Charlie, only to get caught by Knuckles' ground pound. Knuckles, retreating back to Charlie's Mech Suit, throws the net away and pulls the suit up. Sonic gets up and Homing attacks the Mech, but Knuckles blocks him. Sonic avoids contact with Knuckles by turning away.]
 * Sonic: Out of the way Knux! I'm not gonna fight you!
 * Belinda: They won't fight Knuckles. [Shrieking at Charlie] Use the mech like human shield!
 * [Charlie hides behind Knuckles, laughing evilly and uncontrollably firing lasers.]
 * Knuckles: It's a good thing that after a day and a half together I'm securing your unconditional love for me. I might take this the wrong way.
 * [The rest of Team Sonic dodge more lasers. Sonic tries a homing attack to hit the side of the mech, but Charlie spots it and grips Knuckles to block him. Sonic stands next to Amy, Tails and Sticks.]
 * Knuckles: Ow! Charlie, I'm not sure that this is the how families treat each other.
 * Charlie: You imbecile! We're not family. Are you so dense you don't even know when someone is taking advantage of you?
 * Knuckles: Hmm... This really gives me something to think about. But I don't like thinking, I like action!
 * [Knuckles throws Charlie's Mech suit, slamming it to the ground. Amy pounds it with her hammer, Sticks covers it with her net and Sonic homing attacks it three times.]
 * Charlie: Kids. You try and teach him right from wrong and they just disappoint you, by picking right. [Belinda takes Charlie off his mech suit and they both run off.]
 * Sonic: Glad to have you back, Knuckles.
 * Knuckles: Sorry guys. I now realize I had a family all along: Charlie and Belinda. No, wait. I know this. It's on the tip of my tongue. [He sticks his tongue out] Lovely day.
 * Amy: We're your family Knuckles.
 * [The five members of Team Sonic hug each other.]
 * Old Monkey: I wish I had a family like that. Maybe someday someone will knock on my door. Oh I take the mick to treat them as my own. Oh well... That never happens.
 * [While Old Monkey walks away from the camera, Dave is seen carrying Mrs. Vandersnout's wagon with her walking stick.]
