Tails' Tale/Transcript

This is the transcript for the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "Tails' Tale".

[''The episode begins with a view of a road path near some trees. The camera moves over to the left side of the screen, where Sonic and Tails are asleep at a campsite. They awaken when the shadows of both a plane and two conjoined Egg-O-Matic hovercrafts loom over them. Sonic looks up and sees Scratch and Grounder driving the conjoined Egg-O-Matics, then ducks as the plane flies directly over him.'']
 * Sonic: Yikes!

[''Tails stands up, yawns, stretches, and rubs his right eye with his right fist. The two conjoined Egg-O-Matics fly directly over him.'']
 * Tails: What was that!

[''Grounder is revealed to be driving the two conjoined Egg-O-Matics and firing a laser at the plane, while Scratch is sitting in the passenger seat. The camera moves down to Sonic, who points his right thumb up at them.'']
 * Sonic: Dogfight!

[''Scratch, Grounder, and the plane fly past each other. A view of the crosshair of the two conjoined Egg-O-Matics is shown as Grounder fires the laser at the plane, then at Scratch. Scratch screams as he ducks his head into his body just in time as Grounder fires the laser at him. He pokes his right eye out, then his entire head. Grounder chuckles nervously.'']
 * Grounder: Sorry!

[''Grounder turns counter-clockwise and fires the laser at the plane. He and Scratch chase after it, and they begin to fly towards the ground.'']
 * Scratch: Pilot to gunner! When you shoot, you're supposed to hit something!

[''Grounder fires the laser, but the beam from it hits the cannon, destroying it. Grounder gasps as the cannon is destroyed, emitting fire and smoke.'']
 * Grounder: Uh, gunner to pilot! I just did!

[Scratch groans in exasperation.]
 * Scratch: Okay. I guess that means we're supposed to try the sleeping gas bomb!

[Grounder flies the two conjoined Egg-O-Matics higher before they hit the ground.]
 * Scratch and Grounder: Whoa!

[''Grounder's head opens, and a crosshair emerges from it. It aims over his right eye, and he stops the two conjoined Egg-O-Matics just above the plane.'']
 * Grounder: Bombardier to pilot!

[Grounder pulls out the sleeping gas bomb, which he is holding in his left hand.]
 * Grounder: Target in range!

[Grounder drops the sleeping gas bomb.]
 * Grounder: Bomb away!

[''The sleeping gas bomb hits the plane, emitting a cloud of yellow sleeping gas. A Red Bird flies past the plane, and a question mark and and exclamation point emit from him. The Red Bird flies into the cloud of yellow sleeping gas, and falls asleep, falling from the sky. Sonic and Tails look up at him, and Sonic catches him in both his hands.'']
 * Sonic: Thought I recognized that yellow gunk! It's sleeping gas!

[''Back at the plane, the cloud of yellow sleeping gas clears, revealing Captain Willian Le Due, its pilot, to be asleep and snoring. His plane flies towards the ground, and Tails points his right index finger up to it.'']
 * Tails: And that pilot's asleep at the stick!

[''Sonic looks up at the plane and gasps. William continues to sleep and snore.'']
 * Sonic: You gotta help him, little bro!

[Sonic looks over at Tails, who gears up to fly, and flies into the air.]
 * Tails: Rev it up, Tails! Rev it up!

[''The volume of Sonic's voice awakens the Red Bird, who looks up at the plane and whistles. As William continues sleeping and snoring. Tails lands in the passenger seat and grunts. He pulls on the steering stick with both his hands and grunts. Sonic gasps and covers his face with both his hands, which still have the Red Bird, who squawks, in them. As William's plane gets closer to the ground, Tails grunts as he pulls on the steering stick again. As William's plane gets even closer to the ground, Tails screams. William's plane turns higher just in time, and the propeller slices through a tree. Tails sighs with relief as William's plane lands safely near Sonic. Sonic and the Red Bird look up at the plane.'']
 * Tails: Phew! That was close!

[William awakens.]
 * Captain William Le Due: Sacre bleu! What am I doing on the ground?

[''William climbs out of his plane, and screams as he falls. His parachute opens a little too late. William pulls his goggles up with his right hand, then stands up and dusts himself off with the same hand. Tails grabs the side of William's plane with his right hand and pokes his head out. William then blows the dust off his left hand and looks up at Tails.'']
 * William: Aha! A passengair! Do you wish Capitan William Le Duck's special five-Mobium sight-seeing ride? Or the ten-Mobium round-trip special?
 * Tails: Wow!

[''Tails jumps out of William's plane and lands near William. He points his left index finger at him.'']
 * Tails: Are you really William Le Duck? The famous pilot? The soldier of fortune? The fearless archeologist?
 * William: You forget, also ze toast of duck society, and uh, who are you, mon ami?

[Tails points his left index finger at himself.]
 * Tails: I'm Miles Prower, but my friends call me "Tails"!

[''William walks up to Tails. He grabs Tails' right tail with his left hand and his right tail with his left hand.'']
 * William: I think I know ze reason!

[Tails pushes his tails way with both his hands.]
 * Tails: And speaking of friends, I want you to meet my best bud!

[Tails walks away from William, but he doesn't see Sonic.]
 * Tails: Sonic! Hey, Sonic!

[William walks up to Tails, and Tails turns to face him.]
 * Tails: I don't get it! Where did he go?

[''The Red Bird whistles as he runs up to Tails and William. He points his right wing down at the ground.'']
 * William: Ze little bird is trying to tell us something!

[''William ducks down to the Red Bird. He then holds up his left index finger.'']
 * William: Hmmm. I must conclude that your friend did not, uh... go! He was... taken!
 * Tails: What?

[William grabs Tails' nose with his left thumb and index finger, and pulls them down to the ground.]
 * William: Look! Here in ze dirt!

[William points his left index finger at the dirt.]
 * Willliam: Ze signs of a fierce struggle!

[''The Red Bird walks up to Tails and William and whistes at them. It points his left wing at the ground and its right wing at the air.'']
 * William: I think he is saying zey went in that direction!

[William points his left index finger at the sky.]
 * Tails: I've gotta go after him, Capitan Le Duck! I've gotta find him! Will you help!
 * William: Will it be dangerous? Will zere be great risk, evil villians, notorious bad guys? Will my life be at stake?
 * Tails: Could be!
 * William: Zen I will do it!

[''William jumps into the passenger seat of his plane, and Tails jumps into the pilot's seat. The screen transitions to the next scene, where William's plane flies into the air, and Tails looks around for Sonic, but to no avail.'']
 * William: Have you seen anything that looks like zis, uh, Sonic?
 * Tails: Not yet!
 * Willliam: And we have covered every corner of Mobius!
 * Tails: We could use some help, and I know just where to get it!

[''Tails flies William's plane upside down and turns around. William is now hanging by the seatbelt of his plane.'']
 * William: Sacre Bleu! I finally met ze pilot more daring than myself!

[''The screen transitions to the next scene, where Tails, William, and Professor Von Schlemmer are all in Professor Von Schlemmer's laboratory as the camera zooms in on them. Von Schlemmer is holding William's right wrist in his left hand.'']
 * Tails: Professor Von Schlemmer, I want you to meet the famous Capitan William Le Duck!

[Von Schlemmer walks up to William and grabs his right wrist with his left foot, then shakes his right hand with his right hand.]
 * Professor Von Schlemmer: This is indeed an honor, Sir! I have always wanted to meet Professor Von Schlemmer!

[Tails slaps his face with his right hand in exasperation.]
 * William: No no no no! I am Le Duck, and you are Von Schlemmer!

[Von Schlemmer holds up his left index finger.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Really? How interesting! That means I could have met me years ago!

[Von Schlemmer reaches offscreen with his right hand and pulls out a mirror, which he looks in, and waves his left hand at.]
 * William: Can this man be trusted?

[As Tails whispers to William, Von Schlemmer kisses his mirror.]
 * Tails: He's a little absent-minded, but he's a great inventor!
 * Von Schlemmer: If I am indeed Professor Von Schlemmer, I must be a great inventor!
 * Tails: That's what I was just telling him!

[Von Schlemmer points his left index finger at William.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Von Schlemmer?
 * William: No, Le Duck!
 * Von Schlemmer: Who is that? I don't believe I ever met him!

[An angry william pulls up his left sleeve with his right fist, and Tails walks up to Von Schlemmer.]
 * Tails: You do remember Sonic, don't you?
 * Von Schlemmer: Of course! My hedgehog friend is the fastest creature and the greatest hero on Mobius!
 * Tails: Well, he's missing, and you gotta build us somethin' so we can find him quick!

[''The screen transitions to the next scene, where William's plane is in the air again. Tails is in the driver's seat, William is in the passenger seat, and Von Schlemmer, who is holding the Sonic Sonar in his left hand, is in a chair taped to the left side of William's plane.'']
 * Von Schlemmer: Turn left!

[Tails turns William's plane left.]
 * Von Schlemmer: No no no no no! Turn right!

[Tails turns William's plane right.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Fly higher!

[Tails flies William's plane higher, and Von Schlemmer screams.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Fly lower!

[Tails flies William's plane lower.]
 * Von Schlemmer: That's it! Hold it right there!

[A view of the Sonic Sonar is shown, and Von Schlemmer turns a knob counter-clockwise with his right thumb and index finger.]
 * Von Schlemmer: My Sonic Sonar is picking up a strong signal! Keep flying straight ahead!

[A view of the Mobius Jungle is shown.]
 * Tails: Look! We're heading straight for the Mobius Jungle!

[''Tails flies William's plane towards the Mobius Jungle, and various sirens, horns, and flags emit from the Sonic Sonar. The siren blares.'']
 * Von Schlemmer: I found him! I found Sonic!

[Tails turns to face Von Schlemmer.]
 * Tails: Where, Professor?
 * Von Schlemmer: Twelve Moblometers straight ahead!

[A view of a clearing in the Mobius Jungle is shown as the camera zooms in on it.]
 * Tails: You mean, in that clearing up there?

[The Sonic Sonar beeps faster and more rapidly.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Yes, yes! Land, my boy! We found Sonic!

[''Tails lands William's plane in the clearing. The screen transitions to the next scene, where the camera moves to the left side of the screen, where Tails, William, and Von Schlemmer are all standing around the Sonic Sonar. Von Schlemmer jumps excitedly.'']
 * Von Schlemmer: Sonic's here! He's right here!

[Tails and William look at each other in confusion.]
 * Tails: He can't be, Professor!
 * Von Schlemmer: But he must! He must!

[Tails points his right index finger at Von Schlemmer.]
 * Tails: Look around! There's nobody here but us!

[''Von Schlemmer puts his left hand over his eyes and looks around. He sees Tails, William, and William's plane, but not Sonic.'']
 * Von Schlemmer: Something is wrong. Very wrong!
 * William: Oui, Monsieur. As we say in my country, your machine is Le Junk, and you are Le Nitwit!
 * Von Schlemmer: No, no! My machine is perfect!

[Von Schlemmer grabs the satellite of the Sonic Sonar with his left hand, which electrocutes him, and frizzes his hair.]
 * Von Schlemmer: I, on the other hand, may be a nitwit,

[Von Schlemmer smoothes out his hair with both his hands.]
 * Von Schlemmer: But I know for a scientific fact, Sonic the Hedgehog is standing right here!

[''Von Schlemmer points his right index finger at the ground. Tails and William turn to face each other, and William turns his left index finger counter-clockwise around the left side of his head, indicating that he thinks Von Schlemmer is loopy. Tails sighs in disdain.'']
 * Tails: Maybe the Capitan's right, Professor! Maybe your Sonic sonar just doesn't work!
 * Sonic: You're wrong, little bro!

[Tails gasps and turns his head to his left side.]
 * Sonic: I couldn't have found me faster myself!

[Tails, William, and Von Schlemmer all look around in confusion.]
 * Tails: Sonic, where are you?
 * Sonic: Right here!
 * Tails: But we can't see you!
 * Sonic: I know! But just wait by the edge of the clearing until dark, and you'll understand everything! And be careful! Uh-oh! The guard's comin'! Gotta chill!

[The sound of Sonic running away can be heard as Tails runs up to where he heard him.]
 * Tails: No, Sonic! Wait! Sonic! Boy, that was really spooky!
 * Von Schlemmer: Hmmm. "Wait until dark". Wonder why.

[''The screen transitions to the next scene, which takes place at night. Various red eyes flash in and out of the bushes, and the camera moves to the right side of the screen, where Tails, William, and Von Schlemmer are all waiting by William's plane. William stares in shock as a flash of light appears before him.'']
 * William: Sacre Bleu!

[William falls over.]
 * William: What is that?

[The camera moves up to the night sky, where the Temple of Komometz appears.]
 * William: Fantastic!
 * Tails: This can't be happening!

[Von Schlemmer is now typing on his laptop with both his index fingers.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Of course! I should have remembered! This is the Temple of Komometz!
 * Tails: Komo-who?
 * Von Schlemmer: Komometz! The Cursed Temple of Komometz!
 * William: Curse-ed? Ze place is curse-ed?
 * Von Schlemmer: That is why it only comes out at night!

[William climbs onto his plane.]
 * William: Well, enough fascinating trivia! Now that we know this, we can go home!

[''Willliam climbs into the pilot seat of his plane. Tails angrily points his right index finger at William.'']
 * Tails: No way! That temple is right on the top of the place where we heard Sonic's voice!
 * William: Mon Dieu! Are you saying...
 * Tails: Yeah! He's gotta be in there, and we gotta get him out!
 * Von Schlemmer: that temple is filled with the most dangerous traps in all of Mobius!
 * Tails: I'm goin' in anyway!
 * Von Schlemmer: There's an additional curse! It says, "those that are caught inside by dawn will vanish forever!

[Von Schlemmer ducks his head into his shirt.]
 * Tails: I still gotta go in!

[Tails points his right index finger at the Temple of Komometz.]
 * Tails: If that was me in there, Sonic wouldn't let anything scare him away!

[Von Schlemmer pokes his head out of his shirt.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Tails! No, wait! No one has ever returned from the Temple of Komometz!

[Tails flies away, and into the Temple of Komometz.]
 * Von Schlemmer: Never!

[The door to the Temple of Komometz closes, and vines grow around it.]
 * William: Sacre Bleu! It is too late! My new little friend is doomed!

[The screen irises out on William's plane.]
