Tails in Charge/Transcript

This is the transcript for the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "Tails in Charge".

[''The episode begins at Dr. Robotnik's fortress, where Robotnik has just finished his latest invention, the Super Supreme Stopper Zapper. He is holding a screwdriver in his left hand and stands up.'']
 * Dr. Robotnik: I've really outdone myself this time! Remind me to award myself "The Medal For Excellence in Supreme Rottenness"!
 * Scratch]: Didn't you just give yourself that award last week?
 * Robotnik: Well, make up a better one, then!

[The force of Robotnik's yell pushes Grounder back.]
 * Grounder: Whoa!
 * Robotnik: Because this is inspired wickedness! My Super Supreme Stopper Zapper!
 * Scratch: It sure is super, your meanness.

[Scratch and Grounder walk up to the Stopper Zapper]
 * Grounder: Yeah, uh, really super. I bet it does something really... uh, super?
 * Robotnik: "You dunce-bots! It's more than super! It's the key to finally getting rid of that fetid little hedgehog! Watch!

[''Robotnik turns the handle, and the Stopper Zapper activates. The sattelite points at Scratch.'']
 * Scratch: No-ho-ho-ho!

[''Scratch tries to run away, but the Stopper Zapper zaps him, turning him to stone. Robotnik and Grounder run up to him.'']
 * Robotnik: He's stopper zapped! His molecules frozen in place, so he can't move, think, or run!

[''Grounder rolls up to Scratch. He waves his left hand in front of his face, then uses the same hand to squeeze Scratch's face. He then pulls on Scratch's wattle with the same hand.'']
 * Grounder: Heh heh heh heh heh!

[''Grounder pulls on Scratch's wattle with his left hand and runs his right drill through it. He then lets go.'']
 * Grounder: Whoa! This really is great! Nothing can wake him?
 * Robotnik: Nothing!

[''Grounder turns his left drill into a feather duster, which he uses to tickle Scratch's face with. He then turns the feather duster into a fire hose, which he holds with his right hand and sprays Scratch with.'']
 * Grounder: Heh heh heh heh heh!

[Grounder turns the fire hose back into his left drill and his right drill into a mallet, which he hits Scratch with, but it bounces off him and hits him on his head.]
 * Grounder: It's b-b-b-b-brilliant, D-d-d-doctor, but how d-d-d-does z-zapping Scratch get rid of the he-he-hedgehog?
 * Robotnik: You metallic moron! You're gonna use it to zap Sonic!

[Robotnik turns the handle on the stopper zapper, which zaps Scratch back to normal.
 * Scratch: Oooh, achoo! Oh, oh-ho-ho-ho!

[Scratch jumps frantically, holding his head with both hands.]
 * Scratch: Oh oh oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, my head hurts! I'm all wet! What happened?
 * Grounder: Bad dream?

[As Scratch picks Grounder up by his neck with his left hand, Robotnik pushes the Stopper Zapper towards Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Robotnik: Take this and find Sonic. I want him here by suppertime!
 * Grounder: By suppertime? How's Sonic gonna eat if he can't move?

[Robotnik grabs Grounder by his nose with his right hand and pulls him away.]
 * Grounder: Ouch!

[Robotnik then grabs Scratch by his beak with his right hand and pulls him away.]
 * Scratch: Whaaa!

[Scratch and Grounder are now standing behind the Stopper Zapper's controls.]
 * Robotnik: Get out of here, and bring me that hedgehog!

[Robotnik pushes the Stopper Zapper with his butt, making it roll away.]
 * Scratch: You are so dumb!
 * Grounder: What? What? What'd I say?

[''The Stopper Zapper crashes through the wall, creating a giant hole. The screen then transitions to the next scene, where Grounder is standing atop a sign that says, WORLD'S LARGEST CHILI DOG, which he is hammering down with a hammer he has turned his right drill into.'']
 * Grounder: See? I'm not so dumb! This plan is perfect.

[Grounder turns his hammer back into his right drill and rolls off the sign.]
 * Grounder: When Sonic stops to check out the chili dog sign, I shoot him with my slingshot, which knocks him into that rock over there,

[Grounder turns his drills into hands.]
 * Grounder: That's when you zap him with the Super Supreme Stopper Zapper! Huh? Hey, look! He's coming! Hide!

[''Scratch and Grounder run away. Scratch runs towards the boulder, pulling the Stopper Zapper with his right hand, and Grounder hides behind his slingshot, which has a boulder loaded in it. He pulls it back.'']
 * Grounder: Oh, boy! Dr. Robotnik's gonna be so proud of me!

[Sonic and Tails, the latter of whom is riding a green skateboard with a pink stripe down the middle, run up to the sign, creating a cloud of dust, which clears.]
 * Sonic: The world's largest chili dog! I gotta see this!
 * Grounder: Not today, hedgehog.

[''Just then, a bird flies down and lands on Grounder's boulder. He dances on it.'']
 * Grounder: Shoo! Shoo!

[''Grounder lets go of the slingshot and climbs onto the boulder. The bird flies away, and the slingshot launches the boulder, with Grounder on top.'']
 * Grounder: Yeow-how!
 * Sonic: Let's check it out, Tails! We're up, over...

[''Sonic spins and Tails flies into the air just in time to avoid getting hit by Grounder's boulder. They land on the ground.'']
 * Sonic: And... what was that?

[''Grounder's boulder crashes into Scratch's, creating a gravestone that says, RIP. A flower rises out of the gravestone, then turns into the Stopper Zapper's sattelite, which fires at Sonic.'']
 * Tails: Watch it, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Aaaah!

[''Sonic runs out of the way just in time to avoid getting zapped. The Stopper Zapper fires at him and Tails, and Sonic grabs Tails by his left arm with his right hand and runs away just in time to avoid getting zapped. This happens twice more.'']
 * Tails: Those beams are weird!

[Sonic and Tails jump into the air just in time to avoid getting zapped.]
 * Sonic: Yeah, and I don't want to stick around to find out what they do!

[''Sonic spins away, with Tails flying behind him, carrying his skateboard with both hands. Scratch pokes his head out from under the rubble.'']
 * Scratch: Aw, blasted hedgehog!
 * Grounder: Aw, we didn't get him, did we?

[''Grounder's robocom phone rings. He opens his chest compartment with his right hand and pulls out his robocom phone with the same hand.'']
 * Grounder: He...
 * Robotnik [heard over the phone]: Have you captured Sonic yet?
 * Scratch: Oh, tell him we almost had him!

[Robotnik yells through Grounder's robocom phone, which has now gained a mouth.]
 * Robotnik [heard over the phone]: Almost?!

[Robotnik is in his fortress, holding his phone in his left hand and bouncing on his butt furiously.]
 * Robotnik: What kind of nincompoops are you?!
 * Grounder: Uh, what kind of nincompoops are we?

[Scratch swats Grounder with his left hand.]
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Scratch grabs Grounder's robocom phone with his left hand.]
 * Scratch: Ahem. Sir, I've got a foolproof plan. This time, we'll get him, my way!

[''Back at his fortress, Robotnik is wearing a chef's hat and an apron that says, KING OF THE 'CUE. He is holding the phone in his left hand and a barbecue fork in his right.'']
 * Robotnik: If you don't, I'll melt you down, my way!

[''Next to robotnik is a giant stewpot that says, ROBOT MELTING POT. Inside the pot, the head of a robot resembling the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" melts into it. The screen transitions to the next scene, where Sonic runs up to a hill, holding his stomach with both his hands.'']
 * Sonic: Now I'm really hankerin' for a chili dog!

[Tails rides his skateboard up to Sonic, holding his stomach with his left hand.]
 * Tails: Me, too.

[Tails stares in shock and gasps.]
 * Tails: Hey, Sonic! Look!

[''Tails grabs Sonic's left arm with his right hand, then puts his right arm over Sonic's back as he points to a sign with his left index finger. The sign says, '''ALL YOU CAN EAT! FREE CHILI DOGS!'''. Tails jumps excitedly, while Sonic gives a suspicious glare.]''
 * Tails: All you can eat? Free chili dogs? Come on, Sonic! Let's go!

[Tails pulls on Sonic's left arm with his right hand.]
 * Sonic: It's a trap, Tails.
 * Tails: It is?
 * Sonic: Yeah. But what the heck? What's a chili dog without heaps of cheese, and onions, and spiced with plenty of danger? Let's speed, keed!

[''Sonic and Tails run down the road towards the chili dog stand. At the stand, which is in front of a sign that says, HOT CHILI DOGS, Grounder is wearing a chef's hat and an apron that says, I ♥ Robotnik as Scratch is speaking to him through a hole in the sign.'']
 * Scratch: D'oh, for the 20th time, you serve Sonic the chili dog real slow, so I have plenty of time to zap him with the Stopper Zapper! You got it now?
 * Grounder: Um...
 * Scratch: Grounder, you're as dumb as a rock!
 * Grounder: Metamorphic, igneous, or sedimentary?
 * Scratch: Ignoramius!

[Scratch pulls his beak back and puts his arms through the hole in the sign, which are carrying a boulder, which he tosses onto Grounder's head.]
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Stars spin around Grounder's head, until Scratch swats the boulder off with his right hand.]
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Scratch points with his right index finger.]
 * Scratch: Look! Someone's coming!

[Sonic and Tails run up the hill, seeing the chili dog stand in the distance.]
 * Sonic: Stay low, little bro!
 * Tails: Okay, but watch out for that weird beam thing.
 * Sonic: Don't worry about me; I'm way way way too fast for them!
 * Tails: All right!

[Sonic gives Tails a low-four with both his hands, then runs up to the chili dog stand, disguised as a chili dog inspector, and holding a clipboard in his right hand.]
 * Sonic: I'm the Mobius chili dog inspector, have to check the level of chili in your chili dogs.

[''Grounder removes the lid on the chili pot with his right drill. Sonic sniffs the chili, then his nose flops.'']
 * Sonic: Hey! Not hot enough! Sorry pal, I'm gonna have to shut you down!

[''Sonic holds the clipboard in his left hand and a pencil in his right as he writes in the clipboard. Grounder turns his drills into hands.'']
 * Grounder: Huh? Oh, no! Please!

[''Sonic winks with his right eye, then reaches into his coat with his left hand and pulls out a can that says, VERY HOT CHILI, which even has a skull and crossbones on it. He hands it to Grounder with his right hand.'']
 * Sonic: Here, quick! Dump this in before anyone notices.

[Grounder grabs the can with his right hand.]
 * Grounder: Hey, thanks a lot, that's really nice of you!

[''Grounder grunts as he opens the can with his left hand. He pours the chili into the pot, then is holding a hot dog in his left hand, which he dips into the chili pot, and hands to Sonic, who holds out his right hand like a stop sign.'']
 * Sonic: You're the cook, you first!
 * Grounder: Okay!

[Grounder shoves the chili dog into his mouth with his right hand.]
 * Grounder: Oh, no!

[''Grounder's cheeks expand, then burst. His burst cheeks make him look and act like a dog, complete with the words, BOW WOW appearing above him.'']
 * Grounder: Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!

[Grounder turns into a cat, complete with the word, MYOWWW appearing near him.]
 * Grounder: Meow! Meow!

[A stream of chili emits from Grounder's neck, pushing his head above it.]
 * Grounder: Aaagh! Aaagh! Aaagh! Meow!
 * Sonic: That good, huh?

[''Sonic runs up to the hot dog stand and opens it with his right hand. He pulls out two hot dogs with his left hand, and is now holding a can of regular chili in his right. He pours the chili onto the hot dogs, then runs back up the hill as Grounder shoots into the air like a rocket, then explodes, creating a cloud of grey dust, complete with the word, BOOP. Grounder falls back down.'']
 * Grounder: Whoa! Ugh!

[''A crater forms near the sign, which is now in pieces. Grounder rolls out of the crater, with the Stopper Zapper, which is being controlled by Scratch, chasing him. The Stopper Zapper zaps, with Grounder just narrowly missing it.'']
 * Scratch: Whoa-ho-ho! Oh! Oh!
 * Grounder: Shut it off, Scratch!
 * Scratch: I can't, it's stuck!

[The Stopper Zapper zaps behind Grounder.]
 * Grounder: Ow!

[''Sonic lands near Tails, holding a chili dog in each hand. He gives the one in his left hand to Tails.'']
 * Sonic: I brought you a dog, good buddy! Not quite as spicy as the one Grounder got a hold of.
 * Tails: Yum!

[''Tails puts the chili dog in his mouth. It is halfway in, when Tails notices the Stopper Zapper approaching them, which he points to with his left index finger.'']
 * Tails [in a muffled voice]: Sonic! Watch out!
 * Sonic: Let's blow this chili stand!

[Sonic runs away, carrying Tails in his left arm, but leaving Tails' skateboard behind.' They get out of the way just in time to avoid being zapped.]
 * Tails: Wait! My skateboard!

[Tails pulls Sonic's left arm away from him, setting him free.]
 * Sonic: Aaaah!

[Tails runs after his skateboard, which rolls toward the Stopper Zapper.]
 * Sonic: Tails, no!

[''Sonic runs after Tails. The Stopper Zapper zaps at Tails, who is now holding his skateboard in both hands. Sonic pushes Tails out of the way with both hands just in time to avoid having him get zapped.'']
 * Tails: Ugh!
 * Sonic: Aaaah!

[The Stopper Zapper's sattelite casts its shadow over Sonic and zaps him.]
 * Sonic: Aaaah! Oh, no! I'm turning into... stone!

[''Sure enough, Sonic does turn to stone. Tails runs up to him and pulls on his right arm with his left hand.'']
 * Tails: Sonic, come on! Lets hit it!

[The petrified Sonic falls over.]
 * Tails: Sonic? Sonic, come on! Let's get going!

[Back at the Stopper Zapper's controls,, Scratch pulls the lever, turning the Stopper Zapper off.]
 * Scratch: Ugh!

[''Scratch walks up to Tails, whom Grounder is now near. Tails covers his eyes with his hands, then turns to Grounder, with a tear emitting from his left eye.'']
 * Grounder: He's not going anywhere, fuzz face, cept' back to Dr. Robotnik's lab! Who knows? Maybe he'll turn your buddy into a footstool!

[Scratch puts his right hand on Grounder's right shoulder, and Grounder puts his left drill on Scratch's left shoulder.]
 * Scratch: Bwahaha! Bwahaha!
 * Grounder: Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!
 * Tails: Nobody's turning Sonic into a footstool!

[Tails tries to push the petrified Sonic away, but Scratch grabs him by his tails with his left hand.]
 * Tails: Whoa!
 * Scratch: Out of the way, brat!

[Scratch tosses Tails aside.]
 * Tails: Yeow!

[Tails lands with a crash.]
 * Tails: Ugh!
 * Grounder: Oh, I can't wait to see what Dr. Robotnik gives me for bagging that hedgehog!
 * Scratch: You? You couldn't bag groceries! Give him to me!

[''Scratch swats at Grounder with both his hands. Tails get back up as Scratch and Grounder argue with each other.'']
 * Grounder [heard offscreen]: No way! He's mine!

[Tails stares in shock.]
 * Tails: Aaaah!

[Tails runs towards Scratch and Grounder, who are now pulling the petrified Sonic back and forth.]
 * Scratch: D'oh, give him here, toaster brain! Ugh!
 * Grounder: Oh, trying to trick me with flattery, are you? Well, it won't work! No way I'm giving him up!
 * Tails [heard offscreen]: Yeah, you are!

[Scratch in Grounder stare at Tails, who is now behind the controls of the Stopper Zapper.]
 * Grounder: Oh, no!

[Grounder tries to roll away, but Tails zaps him with the stopper zapper, turning him to stone.]
 * Tails: I got one!

[Tails pulls on the handle to the Stopper Zapper, which won't turn.]
 * Tails: Ugh!

[''The handle finally does turn, too fast. Tails falls.'']
 * Tails: Oof!

[Tails looks up at the handle, which is spinning out of control.]
 * Tails: Oh, no!

[The handle springs out and hits Tails on the head, knocking him over.]
 * Tails: Ugh!

[The Stopper Zapper zaps Grounder again, turning him back to normal.]
 * Grounder: I'm free! Ha ha! I'm free!
 * Scratch: Come on, let's get the runt! Bwahaha!

[Scratch and Grounder run towards Tails, who tries to zap them again, but misses every time.]
 * Tails: Uh-oh! Here I go!

[Tails jumps back on his skateboard, using his tails as a rotor to push it along.]
 * Tails: I gotta get Sonic!

[Tails skates past Scratch and Grounder, and picks up the petrified Sonic with both hands and places him in front of him on his skateboard.]
 * Scratch [heard offscreen]: Hey hey! Bring him back!
 * Grounder [heard offscreen]: Yeah, runt!

[Scratch and Grounder run back to the Stopper Zapper.]
 * Grounder: Come back here!

[Grounder pulls the lever, turning the Stopper Zapper on.]
 * Scratch: Hey, hey hey!

[''Scratch swats at Grounder with his right hand. Grounder turns the Stopper Zapper off.'']
 * Scratch: Stop shooting! If you hit Sonic, you'll unfreeze him!

Grounder: Huh? [''Tails skates away, taking the petrified Sonic with him. Grounder's robocom phone rings again.'']
 * Grounder: Uhh...
 * Scratch: It's Dr. Robotnik!
 * Grounder: Oh, we're in big trouble! Uh, let's pretend nobody's home!
 * Scratch: You don't have to pretend, stupid.

[Scratch hits Grounder on the head with his left fist.]
 * Scratch: Nobody is home! Now pick up the phone!

[''Grounder turns his right drill into a hand, which he uses to open his chest compartment and pull out his robocom phone. Robotnik yells at them through the phone, which has a mouth again.'']
 * Robotnik [heard over the phone]: What's going on? Have you caught Sonic yet? You'll be lawn furniture if you don't answer me this instant!

[''Grounder turns his left drill into a hand, which he muffles the phone with. He then hands the phone to Scratch.'']
 * Scratch: It's for you.

[Scratch picks up the phone with his left hand.]
 * Robotnik [heard over the phone]: Idiots! Answer me! Where are you? Have you captured that hedgehog? What are you doing?

[''Meanwhile, Tails pants heavily as he rolls past a factory, and up to a hill, where a pile of logs is neatly stacked. He looks back, and sees that Scratch and Grounder are running up the hill after him.'']
 * Tails: Oh, no! Badniks! I gotta go!

[Tails pushes his skateboard away as Scratch and Grounder reach the top of the hill.]
 * Scratch: There he is! Give it up, runt!
 * Tails: No way, dumb clucks!

[Tails swats the log pile with his tails, causing the logs to roll down the hill, and chase after Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Scratch: Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!
 * Grounder: Whoa!

[The first log flattens Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Tails: Yes!

[''Tails runs back to his skateboard, and rolls towards the factory, taking the petrified Sonic with him. Dr. Robotnik is floating towards him, standing in his Egg-o-Matic hovercraft, and holding a megaphone in his left hand.'']
 * Robotnik: Stop, you little two-tailed runt! I want that hedgehog!

[''As Tails rolls through the factory, he looks back at Robotnik, then forward. He gasps, then jumps into a pipe with his skateboard and the petrified Sonic. Robotnik flies in after him, but his Egg-o-Matic is too big to fit in the pipe, and he falls out of it.'']
 * Robotnik: Ow!

[''Robotnik lands on the ground in front of the pipe, with stars spinning around his head. Tails rolls out of a manhole cover with the petrified Sonic, then stops when he sees Scratch and Grounder.'']
 * Tails: Uh-oh!

[Scratch and Grounder turn around, and Scratch points to Tails with his right index finger.]
 * Scratch: There he is!

[''Tails turns around and rolls away. He rolls to the outside of the buildings, until he comes to a dead-end.'']
 * Tails: No way out!

[''Tails turns around and gasps as Scratch and Grounder run right past the alley where he is. Tails sees a door, and pulls on it.'']
 * Tails: Ugh! Ugh!

[''Tails pulls the door open, then rolls the petrified Sonic inside. He shuts the door, and turns the handle shut. He then looks out the window as Scratch and Grounder look in the alley, then run away.'']
 * Tails: Whoa! That was a close one.

[Tails rolls the petrified Sonic up to the office.]
 * Tails: Maybe we could hang in here.

[''Tails opens the office door and rolls Sonic into the office. He then waves his left hand in front of the petrified Sonic, who just stays still.'']
 * Tails: Boo!

[Again, Sonic just stays still.]
 * Tails: I guess you need that weird zapper machine.

[Tails puts his left hand on Sonic's right shoulder.]
 * Tails: Okay, big bro! I'll do whatever it takes to get you awake again, even busting into Robotnik's fortress! Deal?

[''Sonic still stands still. Tails pulls his skateboard away, causing Sonic to fall over.'']
 * Tails: Deal! You just lay there and have a nice, comfy snooze, while I take care of everything. Okay? Okay?

[Tails runs up to the door and opens it.]
 * Scratch [heard offscreen: Hold it right there, brat!
 * Tails: Aaaah!

[Scratch and Grounder run towards the door, which Tails shuts.
 * Scratch [heard offscreen]: Oh-ho-ho-ho!
 * Grounder: Oh! Oh!

[Scratch and Grounder slide backwards.]
 * Scratch: Ooh!
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Scratch and Grounder pound on the door, which Tails is struggling to keep shut.]
 * Grounder [heard offscreen]: Give up, pipsqueak!
 * Tails: No way, metalheads!

[Tails runs back to Sonic.]
 * Tails: I've got some good news and some bad news; the good news is, I don't have to go to Dr. Robotnik's fortress.

[Scratch and Grounder continue banging on the door.]
 * Tails: The bad news is, we're trapped! Aaaah!

[''The force of the next pound causes a picture frame in the office to become crooked and fall, as a cabinet also falls, creating a cloud of dust. The screen fades to black.'']
