Friend or Foe?/Transcript

This is a transcript of the Sonic Underground episode, "Friend or Foe?".


 * [The Sonic Underground theme song plays]


 * Aleena (narrating): Following their quest, my children continued to learn one lesson: that things are not always what

they seem.


 * Manic: Hang loose, Sonia, it's just a rumor!
 * Sonia: Duh! But what if Mother really is here?
 * Sonic: She'd better be! I missed the opening of a new chili dog stand for this. [walks out onto the island] This is the

dreaded Floating Island? Oooh, I'm scared(!)
 * Sonia: Sonic! Remember what the Oracle said. The Floating Island is fraught with danger. Beware the echidna.
 * Sonic: Fraught? What kind of stupid word is that?!
 * Sonia: Fraught means "filled", as in "filled with danger".
 * Sonic: What danger? If you're so fraught, I'll check this place out.
 * Sonia: SONIC!
 * Sonic: Aaarghh!
 * Manic and Sonia: [gasps] [sees Sonic in a trap] Huh?
 * Manic: Just hangin' out, bro?
 * Sonia: Like I said... fraught with danger!
 * Sonic: Danger? You mean this nifty hammock?
 * Manic: We'll call this Echidna 1, Hedgehog 0.


 * Robotnik: Answer me, you fools! Sleet! Dingo!
 * Dingo: Mmmm, tuna fish, my favorite!
 * Sleet: Shut up and eat. Robotnik should be calling soon.
 * Robotnik: Sleet! Do you hear me? Answer me or you're bot bait!
 * Dingo: Huh? Boy, I must be hungrier than I thought. My stomach is really growling! And it sounds like Robotnik!
 * Sleet: Oh, you are so stupid!
 * Robotnik: Dunderheads! You have ten seconds to answer me. Ten...
 * Dingo: Me? But I just said-
 * Sleet: It is Robotnik, you moron!
 * Dingo: Where?!
 * Sleet: [gasps] Oof!
 * Robotnik: Seven... Six...
 * Sleet: On the communicator! Hold still, you half-wit.
 * Robotnik: Five...
 * Dingo: Oh.
 * Robotnik: Four... Three...
 * Sleet: Ah...
 * Robotnik: Two... [Sleet switches on the screen] One! About time. Where were you?
 * Sleet: Uh, er...
 * Robotnik: Silence! Apparently the hedgehogs believe the rumors. Intelligence reports they're on the way. You know the

plan. Turn the echidna against the hedgehogs and get me the Chaos Emerald.
 * Sleet: And when we take the Emerald, the island will plummet down and crash!
 * Robotnik: And the hedgehogs will fall with it! [laughs]
 * Sleet: [snickers] Brilliant plan, sir. We are on our way. Sleet out. [switches off the screen] Put that in your backpack and

let's go find the echidna.
 * Dingo: Er, what's an echidna?
 * Sleet: Not "what", you dolt! "Who". It's who guards this island. His name is Knuckles, and he's in for a big Robotnik

surprise. He's tough, and he's especially known for his- [falls into a pit trap] TRAAAAPS!
 * Dingo: Whoooaah!


 * Knuckles: You wolf-faces should have stayed home. Now you get to be dinner!
 * Dingo: You- you're gonna eat us?!
 * Knuckles: No.
 * Dingo: Oh, phew!
 * Sleet: Good.
 * Knuckles: [whistles]
 * Sleet and Dingo: Waarrgh!
 * Knuckles: But Chomps will.
 * Sleet: You've got us all wrong, Mr. Knuckles. We are your friends!
 * Knuckles: Of course! All my friends sneak onto my island. I don't think so!
 * Sleet: No, you don't understand! We're here to stop the real invaders! Three hedgehogs! I can prove it!
 * Knuckles: How?
 * Sleet: Look in my pocket. [Knuckles picks up a remote] Press that button.
 * Dingo: Er, Sleet-
 * Sleet: Shut up! The red button.
 * Dingo: SLEET!
 * Sleet: Put a cork in it, Dingface! Check it out.
 * Sonic (hologram): Gotta cruise, dudes! We gotta find that Chaos Emerald before that dopey defender Knuckles gets us!
 * Sonia (hologram): You are not often right, older brother, but on this occasion I agree. Come, Manic!
 * Manic (hologram): We are more clever than that dumb Knuckles guy!
 * Sleet: M-Mr. Knuckles, we're getting a little warm here, if you don't mind, eh...
 * Knuckles: Those hedgehogs want the Emerald, do they? Well, they'll have to get past me! All right, you wolf-faces are

free to go - this time. But you must leave the island now!
 * Sleet: An amiable deal, my friend. We'll be off the island faster than you can say "Sonic the Hedgehog".
 * Knuckles: Sorry, Chomps. But cheer up! I hear hedgehogs have just come into season...
 * Dingo: Nice doggy... [Chomps threatens him] Arrgh!
 * Sleet: Outta here!
 * Dingo: Aaargh!
 * Sonic (hologram): We gotta find those Emeralds. Gotta find those Emeralds.


 * Sonic: [gasps]
 * Manic: Oof!
 * Sonic: [laughs loud]
 * Sonia: Shhh! I'm getting a feeling, like there's something close by.
 * Sonic: Oh, big whoop! We're following your feelings around? Boy, it just doesn't get any better than this(!)
 * Sonia: Hey guys! Look at this! A sacred pool. I've read about these!
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Sonia: [gasps]
 * Sonic: Whoa, we're talkin' some serious special effects!
 * Sonia: I can't believe it really exists! [Manic tries to touch it] Manic, don't!
 * Manic: What?
 * Sonia: I see something forming.
 * Manic: Mom!
 * Sonia: She's here! I knew it!
 * Sonic: Wow, looks like you were right, Sonia!
 * Sonia: You're saying I'm right? Manic, you're a witness.
 * Sonic, Manic and Sonia: [gasps] [the ground cracks open] Aaaaah! Huh? [Knuckles bursts out] Aaarrgh!
 * Manic: What's happening? Whoa, dude! You nailed that landing. I give it a 10!
 * Knuckles: Hedgehog thieves!
 * Sonic: [coughs] Not exactly the welcome mat we expected.
 * Sonia: [coughs] Look at this! You'd better have a real good dry-cleaners on this rock!
 * Knuckles: You came here to steal the Emerald, but I'll stop you!
 * Sonic: Chill, fella, we're not thieves! [looks at Manic] Well, mostly we're not. Anyway...
 * Knuckles: [growls]
 * Sonic: Huh? [falls back] Oof! Nice to meet you, too(!)
 * Knuckles: I hate thieves!
 * Sonia: Sonic! Are you all right?
 * Manic: Boy, that guy's good!
 * Sonic: What are you, nuts? 'Cos if you're thinking of starting a fan club, Manic... here comes your hero!


 * Manic and Sonia: [gasps]
 * Sonic: Okay, knuckle-boy. If that's the way you wanna play it, let's get basic!
 * Sonia: Sonic, wait! Maybe we can reason with him.
 * Sonic: Good idea, sis... NOT! Here's a taste of the Super Sonic Triple Spin, pal!
 * Sonia: [gasps]
 * Knuckles: Whoooaa!
 * Sonic: Whoaa!
 * Knuckles: Ugh!
 * Sonic: You guys can jump in here any time, y'know.
 * Manic: Ah, we knew you had it covered.
 * Sonia: This time, we're gonna reason with him! Where'd he go?
 * Sonic: Guess Super Spin was a little too much for him.
 * Sonic, Manic and Sonia: Huh?
 * Manic: I would bet... not!
 * Sonia: Listen, echidna guy! We aren't here to steal anything! We're here to find Queen Aleena!
 * Manic: Whoa, maybe that worked!
 * Sonic: Hey sis, what are your feelings telling you now?
 * Sonia: Er... that we'd better LEAVE!
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Manic: Huh?
 * Knuckles: You're lying!
 * Sonic: I'll handle this.
 * Sonia: Sure! Why not? You've done such a superb job so far(!)
 * Manic and Sonia: Ahh!
 * Knuckles: [gasps] [Sonic spins him round] Whooaa! Aaaagh!
 * Sonic: One more time! [Knuckles burrows into the ground] Come back and fight, knuckle-butt!
 * Knuckles: Lying hedgehogs! Thieves!
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Sonia: Okay. I've had enough.
 * Knuckles: Aah! [cuts a support rope] Heh!
 * Manic and Sonia: Aaaahhh!
 * Sonic: Hang on, guys! Here I- [falls into a trap] Whooaaa! [grabs the edge] Yes! [Knuckles arrives to drop him in] No! [strains] [falls] Aaahhh!
 * Knuckles: Goodbye, hedgehogs!
 * Sonic: Ooh, ah, ooh! Ah... [lands and gets stuck] Huh? [strains] Hah! That's it. You're toast, knuckle-head! Outta here!
 * Sleet: That echidna is even dumber than you, Dingo.
 * Dingo: Thank you!
 * Sleet: Then again, maybe not. I bet those hedgehogs are history by now! [cackles] [finds a river] Come on! We have to go down the river to get to the Emerald.
 * Dingo: In what? [Sleet morphs him into a rowboat] I had to ask...


 * Sonia: This doesn't look promising.
 * Manic: Guess we'll have to wait for Sonic.
 * Sonia: Guess again!
 * Sonic: This is the place! [looks into the pit] Whoa. Hellooooo? Here goes nothin'...
 * Knuckles: Hedgehog?
 * Sonic: That's gotta hurt. [Knuckles charges at him] Whoa, take a chill pill, dude! You're way too excited.
 * Knuckles: Heearrrgh!
 * Sonic: Obviously you haven't heard about the famous hedgehog's speed. All right, take your best shot!
 * Sonia: That should do it!
 * Manic: Crashin'!
 * Knuckles: Now you're mine, hedgehog!
 * Sonic: Ah, ah, uh, ooh, uh, ah! Come on. You can do better than that, knuckle-brain! We're not done yet, pal. You're takin' me to Sonia and Manic!
 * Manic: Rippin' glow!
 * Sonia: Are you kidding? This light does nothing for my complexion. [sees the river] Oh, how beautiful!
 * Manic: Yeah...
 * Manic and Sonia: [gasps]
 * Sonia: What's that noise?
 * Manic and Sonia: Huh?
 * Sonic (hologram): We gotta find that Chaos Emerald before that dopey defender Knuckles gets us!
 * Sonia: Now there's something you don't see every day!
 * Sonic: Hmm, that first step's a real trip.
 * Knuckles: Hey, hedgehog! Can you fly?
 * Sonic: Huh? [Knuckles cracks the bridge] Bummer majores...


 * Sonic: Only one chance! [jumps across] Uhh! Eyah! Spin and win time!
 * Knuckles: No!
 * Sonic: That wasn't very nice.
 * Knuckles: Ah, ahh...!
 * Sonic: Hmm, need a hand? Ah... just a little joke there!
 * Knuckles: Wah, wah... [falls off the island] Whooaa! Whooaaa!
 * Sonic: Uh!
 * Knuckles: Why'd ya save me?
 * Sonic: Let's talk, bud.


 * Sonia: There there, we'll fix it!
 * Manic: I guess. Here goes nothin'!
 * Sonia: Huh? [Chomps coughs up the remote] [gasps]
 * Manic: Yuck! Thanks. Ugh...
 * Sonia: A holo-projector? This reeks of Robotnik!
 * Manic: No, I think it's his breath!
 * Sonia: Très drôle. So, big guy, where'd you get this?
 * Manic: Not gonna work like that, sis. Let me try.
 * Sonia: Fine!
 * Manic: Okay, pal. One snap means "yes", two snaps means "no". Got it?
 * [Chomps snaps once]
 * Sonia: Oh, get over yourself!
 * Manic: So, did ya get that thing from a big round guy with a mustache?
 * [Chomps snaps twice]
 * Manic: Ah... what about a big ugly dog kinda guy with a little sleazeball?
 * [Chomps snaps once]
 * Sonia: Sleet and Dingo. Nice work, bro! Can you take us to them?
 * [Chomps snaps once]


 * Sleet: Aha!
 * Dingo: Ouch! [Sleet morphs him back] [spits] [sees the Emerald] [gasps] Is that it?
 * Sleet: It's fantastic!
 * Knuckles: Then the wolf-faces left the Floating Island.
 * Sonic: Left? Seems hard to believe, Knuck. They're always after something.
 * Knuckles: THE EMERALD! [sees Sleet and Dingo in the Sacred Pool with the Emerald] Nooooo!
 * Sonic and Knuckles: [gasps]
 * Sonic: Whoa! Why am I floating?!
 * Knuckles: You're not floating, the island is falling!
 * Sonic and Knuckles: Oof!
 * Sleet: Take this. We have to get out of here.
 * Sonia: Not so fast, Sleet!
 * Dingo: Aww, Sonia!
 * Sleet: How convenient! [escapes through the hole] Hurry, Dingo!
 * Sonic and Knuckles: Whoa, oof!
 * Sonic: Man, we'd better get that Emerald back, or we're gonna splatter like bugs when we hit!
 * Sonia: Sonic!
 * Sonic and Knuckles: Huh?
 * Sonia: Up there! Sleet and Dingo!
 * Sonic: [gasps]
 * Sleet: [chuckles] Almost there! Hurry, Dingo!
 * Dingo: Look! Ah, it's Sonia again! [stubs his toe] Oww! [drops the Emerald] Uh-oh.
 * Sleet: Dingo, let's go! [sees the Emerald rolling away] Argh, you idiot! [pushes a button] SWATbots, move out. Retrieve the Emerald.
 * Sonia: They're getting away!
 * Sonic: But not with the Emerald! Look! Let's do it to it!


 * ["Not Always What They Seem" plays]


 * Sonic: Sonia? Manic?
 * Sonia: Hey!
 * Manic: We did it!
 * Manic and Sonia: Whoa!
 * Knuckles: Sonic! The Emerald!
 * Robotnik: Sleet! Dingo! You'd better have the Emerald. If you don't, I'm going to have you roboticized piece by piece! Where are you?! ANSWER ME!
 * Dingo: Sleet, did you ever hear a little voice, like, talkin' to ya?


 * Knuckles: This is crupnik, an echidnan delicacy. It's good! Go ahead, eat up!
 * Sonic: [sniffs] Ahh, thanks Knux!
 * Knuckles: So, why did you come to Floating Island?
 * Manic: To find our Mom, Queen Aleena.
 * Knuckles: Queen Aleena is your Mom? Why didn't you say so? I knew her! She was here when I was just a kid!


 * Knuckles: She left this for you.
 * Sonia: In the final days of Robotnik's tyranny...
 * Aleena (narrating): ...allies will unite with my children. First among them will be Knuckles, guardian of the Chaos Emerald.
