High Stakes Sonic/Transcript

This is the transcript for the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "High Stakes Sonic".

''The episode begins in the village from "Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad". Smiley, a sharply-dressed shark holding a cane in his left hand, and Louis, a sheep wearing a barrel, are standing next to a shark-shaped bus.''
 * Louis: Please! Double or nothing!
 * Smiley: All right, Louis, but remember, if youse lose this time, you'll owe me ten years of hard labor!

[''Smiley and Louis play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with their right hands. Louis forms a pair of scissors with his right hand, and Smiley forms a rock with his right hand.'']
 * Smiley: I beat you, Louis! Now get on the bus with the other losers!

[''Smiley hits Louis on the head with his cane three times. He then points to the bus with his cane.'']
 * Smiley: You got work to do!

[''Louis jumps towards the bus. The door on the bus opens, and a purple tongue rolls out. Louis hops onboard the bus, and the tongue rolls back into the bus. The door closes, and the bus, which despite not having a driver behind the wheel, drives away, creating a cloud of dust. Smiley laughs evilly, then when the dust clears, he coughs. The bus then drives over a hill, then past Sonic and Tails, who are eating chili dogs under a tree. Sonic and Tails turn their heads toward the bus, which Tails points at with his left index finger.''
 * Tails: Gee, that's the... [as he counts on the fingers in his right hand] ...one, two, third bus we've seen! What's going on?

[''Sonic shrugs his shoulders, indicating he has no idea. He then holds out his right hand like a stop sign as another bus drives past them, creating a cloud of dust. The bus then drives away towards the desert.'']
 * Sonic: Gee, I don't know, keed! Let's find out where they're coming from!

[Sonic points at the bus with his left index finger, then runs in place.]
 * Sonic: Up, over, and catch that bus!

[''Sonic runs after the bus, creating a dust cloud of his own. Tails flies into the air and follows after Sonic. The screen transitions to the next scene, which takes place at the village, where a flock of Sheep are. They turn their attention to another bus that stops near Smiley. The door on the bus opens, and a purple tongue rolls out. Smiley then peers into the bus, holding his left hand up to his mouth.'']
 * Smiley: Keep the engine running! I'll have another load of suckers for you in half a tick!

[''Smiley walks away, and the bus door closes. Unknown to Smiley, Sonic and Tails are on top of the bus, looking down at him.'']
 * Sonic: Don't like the sound of this, Tails! Come on!

[''Sonic jumps down, and Tails flies behind him. The screen then transitions to a view of Smiley standing next to a robot later referred to by Sonic as the High-Voltage Flimflammer, and the Sheep gathered around him.'']
 * Smiley: Here's what I'm gonna do; since you've already lost everything you owned, I'm gonna let you raise the stakes a bit. Win, and you get everything back!

[A Sheep wearing a bowler hat with a green feather raises his left hand.]
 * Smiley: Yes?
 * Sheep in Bowler Hat: We'll get everything baa-a-ack? But what if we lose?
 * Smiley: Well, then you'll come with me and do a little bit of work, that's all. [Whispering to the Flimflammer] For the rest of their lives, that is! Hee hee hee hee hee hee!

[As the Flimflammer talks, he switches the walnut shells on the table in front of him around with both his hands.]
 * High Voltage Flimflammer: Follow the pea, win a spree! Lose the pea and you owe me!

[Sonic pushes the Sheep in the Bowler Hat aside with his left hand, and Tails pushes another sheep aside with his left hand.]
 * Tails: That doesn't look fair!
 * Sonic: It's not; that High-Voltage Flimflammer will fleece those guys! He needs a lesson.

[The Flimflammer finishes switching the shells.]
 * Smiley [heard offscreen]: Give it a try! Is the hand quicker than the eye?

[Smiley points to the middle shell with the cane he is holding in his right hand.]
 * Sonic [heard offscreen]: Not hedgehog eyes!

[''Sonic picks up the leftmost shell with his left hand, revealing the pea underneath. Smiley and the Flimflammer both stare in shock.'']
 * Sheep: Yay! Hooray!
 * Sheep in Bowler Hat: Oh, boy! We can get our stuff back!

[''The Sheep run away, creating a dust cloud. As the cloud clears, Sonic snaps his left thumb and index finger, then taps his left foot.'']
 * Sonic: Okay, but this time, how bout trying to make it a challenge?

[''The Flimflammer pushes his hat forward with his left hand. He switches the shells around, but Sonic's eyes watch closesly. The Flimflammer stops, and Tails walks up to Sonic, who picks up the leftmost shell with his right hand, revealing the pea underneath. The Flimflammer stares in shock, with his eyes popping out of his head. The Flimflammer switches the shells around again, and as he does, Smiley sneaks away. Sonic watches closesly, with his eyes now resembling the walnut shells. The Flimflammer finishes switching the shells, then, hoping to be able to outsmart Sonic, he pulls the lever on the right side of the table, opening a trap door that the pea falls through. After the pea lands on the ground, the trap door closes.'']
 * Sonic: Hmmm.

[Sonic picks up the leftmost and rightmost shells.]
 * Sonic: That pea must be under the middle one, eh, Robo-chump?

[Steam emits from the Flimflammer's ears.]
 * Flimflammer: I'm not programmed to lose!

[Sonic taps his left foot, then Tails peers out from behind his back.]
 * Sonic: Time you got with the program, then!

[''The Flimflammer explodes, creating a huge smoke cloud, and his head flies off his body. When the smoke clears, the Flimflammer's head lands near Sonic.'']
 * Sonic: I hate a sore loser!
 * Sheep: Hooray!
 * Sonic: Here's your stuff back! And from now on, don't risk what you can't afford to lose!

[''Sonic holds up his right index finger. Back at the destroyed Flimflammer, Smiley reaches into the Flimflammer's back with his left arm and pulls out his Robocom phone, which he then holds up to his left ear.'']
 * Smiley: This is Smiley. Put Dr. Robotnik on the line!

[''The screen transitions to a view in the desert, where various sheep monument workers are operating a crane, which is lowering a block into place, on a Sphinx that is being built. Scratch is watching over them.'']
 * Robotnik: Work, you losers! You owe me!

[''Robotnik, who is dressed like a Pharoah, is lying in a bed, and Coconuts, who is holding a big paper fan in both his hands, is fanning him. Grounder can be heard rolling up to Robotnik in the distance.'']
 * Grounder: Paging Dr. Robotnik!

[Grounder, who has his chest compartment open, rolls up to Robotnik.]
 * Grounder: Robocom call for Dr. Robotnik!
 * Robotnik: How dare you interupt me now! I want my monument finished in time for Robotnik Day!
 * Grounder: Ooh, I didn't know there was a Robotnik Day.

[Robotnik leans up to Grounder.]
 * Robotnik: Of course there's a Robotnik day! I just declared it one minute ago, in honor of myself!

[Robotnik runs away, then Grounder reaches into his chest compartment with his right drill and pulls out his Robocom phone, which he now holds up to his head.]
 * Grounder: Smiley! How dare you interrupt the great Dr. Robotnik on Robotnik Day!
 * Robotnik: It's Smiley! Why didn't you say so, demented dumbot?

[Robotnik grabs the phone from Grounder with his left hand and pulls it, along with Grounder's entire stomach away.]
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Grounder holds his head with both his drills as his head and arms fall into his butt.]
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[Grounder pokes his head and arms out of his butt and sighs.]
 * Grounder: Sometimes I just don't have the stomach for this job.

[Robotnik is now holding the phone up to his left ear.]
 * Robotnik: Smiley! Where's my next busload of monument workers?
 * Smiley: One more bet, and I would have had em', but they won! It was all because of...
 * Robotnik: No excuses! You know how to cheat, so do it! I need workers to build my statue!
 * Smiley: Okay, sir, but we're gonna need better facilities!

[''Smiley looks down at the destroyed Flimflammer, which is now emitting black smoke. Grounder's stomach is now back on his body.'']
 * Robotnik: Then you'll get better facilities!

[Robotnik lets go of the Robocom phone, which goes back into Grounder's body.]
 * Robotnik: Is my new Casino Night Zone ready?

[Grounder closes his chest compartment and scratches his head with his right drill.]
 * Grounder: Um... no.

[Robotnik is now on his hands and knees.]
 * Robotnik: No! I spent a billion Mobiums! I made it a top priority! How could my magnificent new Casino Night Zone not be ready?!
 * Grounder: Because it's locked, and I have the key.

[''Grounder opens his chest compartment with his right drill, reaches in with the same drill, and pulls out the key to the Casino Night Zone. Robotnik then gets off his bed and runs up to Grounder, pointing at him with his left index finger.'']
 * Robotnik: Then go open it, you nincombot! You stup-o! You miserable mess of microchips!

[Grounder rolls away.]
 * Grounder: I'm doing better! He didn't call me a "hopeless hunk of junk"!
 * Robotnik: And make it fast, you hopeless hunk of junk!

[''Grounder flinches, then continues rolling away. Back at the Village, Sonic shakes the Sheep in the Bowler Hat's right hand with his right hand.'']
 * Sheep in Bowler Hat: Oh! You saved us! We'll never get suckered again!
 * 'Smiley [heard offscreen]: Attention!

[Sonic and the Sheep turn their attention to Smiley, who is riding a bus, and holding a megaphone in his right hand, which he talks into.]
 * Smiley: Come enjoy the fabulous new Casino Night Zone! One free bet to the first one thousand gamblers!
 * Sheep: Oooh! Baaa!

[''All the Sheep except the one in the Bowler Hat run towards the bus, creating a cloud of dust. When it clears, Sonic, Tails, and the Sheep in the Bowler Hat are the only ones left.'']
 * Sheep in Bowler Hat: He did say "Free", didn't he?

[''The Sheep in the Bowler Hat runs into the bus, which rolls its tongue back in and closes its door. It then drives away, creating a cloud of dust. Tails stares in shock.'']
 * Sonic: Gee, I'm glad they learned their lesson! I smell a hustle brewin'! So let's hustle!

[''Sonic grabs Tails right hand with his left hand, and runs away, dragging him along. The screen transitions to a view of the Casino Night Zone, which looks similar to the stage of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game. The camera moves past several buldings, with signs that say, CASINOVILLE, BAR, COMET, BUBLLDIP, CASINO, CASINOTOONE, and HIGH ROLLER, until it reaches the main bulding, with signs that say, CASINO and ROBOTNIK.''
 * Grounder [heard offscreen]: No doubt about it, Scratch! Dr. Robotnik's new Casino Night Zone is a reaaly great place!

[''Inside the Main Building, there are various games. Scratch and Grounder peer from a doorway.'']
 * Scratch: Yeah, we'll have so many losers, his dementedness will have more monument workers than he'll know what to do with! Bwahaha!

[Grounder nods his head, "Yes", as the Sheep push the door open.]
 * Sheep: Yay! Yay!

[The Sheep run in and over Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Grounder [heard offscreen]: Ugh! Oh! Ugh!
 * Scratch [heard offscreen]: D'aw! Ugh ugh ugh!

[Grounder looks up at Smiley, who walks up to him, holding a clipboard in his right hand.]
 * Smiley: Here's your suckers, as ordered. Sign here!

[Grounder turns his right drill into a pen, which he uses to sign the clipboard with.]
 * Smiley: Ha ha ha ha ha!

[''Smiley walks away. The bus outside the main building then drives away. Sonic runs up to the main building, and screeches to a halt. Tails stops behind him.'']
 * Sonic: I hope we're not too late!

[Sonic points to himself with his right index finger.]
 * Sonic: What am I saying? Me, late? Could never happen!

[''Sonic shakes his head, "No", then pushes the door open. He and Tails peer inside. Four sheep are standing near slot machines, and pull the levers with their right hands. The Slot Machines sprout arms, which they use to rip the Sheep's wool off.'']
 * Sheep: Baaa!

[The Slot Machines put barrels on the sheep.]
 * Sonic: Boy, those guys sure are in a hurry, to get fleeced!

[Meanwhile, Scratch and Grounder are watching from the control room on the floor above.]
 * Scratch: We've got everything they own! One more bet, and they'll owe their lives to Dr. Robotnik!
 * Grounder: Ha ha ha! I hope they lose! I hope they lose!
 * Scratch: D'oh, you lead-head! Of course they'll lose! Everything's rigged! Bwahaha!
 * Grounder: Uh, uh, what's rigged?
 * Scratch: Every game in the casino is electronically set in Dr. Robotnik's favor!

[Scratch walks up to the control panel, and Grounder gasps.]
 * Grounder: We're cheating?
 * Scratch: Yes, we're cheating!

[Grounder waves his arms excitedly.]
 * Grounder: Whoo-hoo! Then don't just sit there! Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!

[''Scratch pulls a lever with his right hand. The Sheep watch as a roulette with a ball on it spins, and when it stops, lit lands on a red section of the roulette, near a white "5".'']
 * Sheep [heard offscreen]: Yay!

[The ball bounces onto a black section of the roulette, near a white "8".]
 * Sheep [heard offscreen]: Awww!

[The Sheep are now fleeced and wearing barrels.]
 * Sheep: Waaah!

[The Sheep walk away as Sonic and Tails walk in and up to the roulette.
 * Tails: How'd that happen?
 * Sonic: That ball had a mind of its own!
 * Tails: What are we gonna do?
 * Sonic: Beat em', of course! Save the day! Come to the rescue! Assure the freedom of all Mobius!

[''Sonic runs past Tails. The screen then transitions to a view of Smiley near a giant roulette, which is mostly red and yellow, with one blue section saying, LOSE in white letters.'']
 * Smiley: And now for the big spin, folks! If your number comes up, it's gonna rain money! What'll it be, freedom and fortune, or broke and bondaged? Only the wheel knows.

[''Smiley grabs the roulletw with his left hand and spins it. Scratch, Grounder, and the Sheep look at the wheel.'']
 * Sheep: Oooh!

[Sonic, who is disguised as a construction worker, and holding a toolbox in his left hand, runs in and holds up his right hand.]
 * Sonic: Scuse' me, boys! In from Con-Fred! Gotta check your juice!

[Scratch points to himself with his right index finger, then waves his right hand.]
 * Scratch: We're robots! We don't enjoy beverages!
 * Sonic: Har har! You're funny! I mean the Casino's power supply. I gotta read the meter. Give me the keys.

[Scratch, who is now holding the keys in his right hand, drops them towards Sonic, who catches them in his left hand.]
 * Scratch: Here you go! It's in the basement!
 * Sonic: The basement, huh? Next to the computer control box that rigs the games, right?

[Sonic grabs the keys with his right hand, and Grounder turns his left drill into a hand, and holds up two fingers.]
 * Grounder: Two control boxes over!

[''Sonic holds up his left hand, then walks away. Scratch points at Sonic with his right index finger.'']
 * Scratch: Catch you later!

[Sonic waves at Scratch with his right hand.]
 * Sonic: In your dreams, you clanking cluck!

[''Sonic runs away. He runs past some sheep sitting at Slot machines, knocking what winnings they have out of them. Sonic then pushes the basement doors open, and runs down the spiral staircase, causing it to spin downwards counter-clockwise. Sonic runs up to a control box that says, SECRET KONTROL BOX in red letters, and opens it with the key he is holding in his right hand.'']
 * Sonic: Now for a little reprogramming!

[Sonic presses several buttons on the control box with his left index finger.]
 * Sonic: That oughta reverse Robotnik's cheating!
 * Sonic closes the control box's door with his right hand, then grabs the keys and runs away. He then runs back to Scratch and Grounder.]
 * Sonic: Thanks! You've been a big help!

[''Sonic hands Scratch the keys, which Scratch grabs with his left hand. The roulette lands on the blue space, which now has WIN on it in white letters. A winning alarm sounds, and the Sheep in the Bowler hat points at the roulette with his left index finger.'']
 * Sheep in Bowler Hat: Just like he promised! It's raining money!

[''Sure enough, dollars rain down from the ceiling. The Sheep catch armfuls of it, then walk away.'']
 * Sheep: Yay! Yay! Yay! Ah! Hooray! Yay!
 * Grounder: Aw, they won! How could they win!

[''Some dollars fall near Scratch, Grounder, and Sonic. Scratch catches one of them with his right hand and looks over it.'']
 * Scratch: Is this real money?

[Scratch looks down at Grounder.]
 * Grounder: Well, we couldn't welsh on a bet, could we?
 * Scratch: Yes, we could have!

[Scratch tosses the dollar onto the floor.]
 * Scratch: Now we're ruined!

[Sonic turns to Scratch and Grounder and holds up his right index finger.]
 * Sonic: Oh, and tell Dr. Robotnik that he has a crummy casino! No chili dogs!

[Scratch and Grounder stare at Sonic in shock, with their eyes popping out of their heads.]
 * Scratch: D'oh, it-it's-it's, uh, it-it-it's...

[Sonic runs away, then comes back, dressed in a tuxedo.]
 * Sonic: Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * Scratch: Sonic!
 * Grounder: Get him!

[Scratch and Grounder sneak up to Sonic, who runs away, losing his disguise in the process, which Scratch manages to grab with both his hands.]
 * Scratch: Oh!

[Grounder falls on Scratch.]
 * Scratch: Ah!
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[''Scratch stares angrily at Grounder, who grins nervously Sonic screeches to a halt near Tails and grabs his right wrist with his left hand. He then runs away, with him in tow. The next scene begins with a zoom-in on the Casino Nursery, which has a ball pit.'']
 * Sonic [heard offscreen]: Look! It's the casino nursery!

[Sonic runs into the Casino Nursery, and points to the floor with his left index finger.]
 * Sonic: You hide here while I give those digitized dorks the runaround!
 * Tails: Yeah, you'll be faster without me!

[Sonic points at Tails with his left index finger.]
 * Sonic: It'll be safer! See, there's a babysitter on duty!

[''Sonic points towards the Babysitter, who is a pig lady in a green dress, with his right hand. The Pig Lady waves at him with her left hand.'']
 * Pig Lady: Hiya, honey!

[As Sonic talks, he holds up two fingers on his left hand, then grabs Tails' right tail with his left hand.]
 * Sonic: I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail, or one shake of your two tails, whichever comes first!

[Sonic runs away.]
 * Tails: Hmmm.

[Tails shrugs his shoulders, then jumps into the ball pit.]
 * Pig Lady: Oh, play nice now!

[''Tails tosses the balls from the ball pit into the air. Sonic then runs out of the main building, with Scratch and Grounder chasing after him. Sonic runs up the hill, until he reaches a dam, with a giant lever. He jumps, grabs the lever with both his hands, and pulls it down.'']
 * Sonic: Ugh! Ugh!

[''The water flow from the dam stops. Sonic then runs away, then comes back, carrying a pink suitcase in his right hand.'']
 * Sonic: Those robo-runts are in for a windfall, or should I say "waterfall"?

[''Sonic spins around the lever. When he stops, a slot machine has been built near it. Sonic is also wearing his ringmaster disguise from "Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad", and runs the fingers on his left thand through his mustache. Scratch and Grounder walk up to him, panting heavily.'']
 * Scratch: See a hedgehog come this way?

[Sonic runs behind Scratch and Grounder, and grabs Scratch's left arm with his right hand, and Grounder's right arm with his left hand.]
 * Sonic: Gentlemen, gentlemen! I can see that you are burdened by fleeting responsibilites!

[Sonic walks Scratch and Grounder up to the slot machine.]
 * Scratch: It's true; we're under a lot of pressure.

[Sonic runs up to the slot machine and points to it with the cane he is holding in his left hand.
 * Sonic: You're in luck! Have some fun and take some pressure off!

[Scratch peers at the slot machine.]
 * Scratch: It looks like a slot machine!

[Sonic points the cane he is holding in his left hand at Scratch.]
 * Sonic: Yes! A simple game of chance! Please, take a free pull! Who knows, maybe you could win the jackpot!

[Sonic puts his right hand behind Grounder's head and pulls Grounder forward, with their noses touching each other.]
 * Grounder: Oooh, that would be nice! Yeah, I could go on a cruise!

[Scratch and Grounder jump up to the lever and grab it with both their hands.]
 * Scratch: Awk!

[Scratch is now hanging from the lever by his right hand, and Grounder is hanging by his left drill as he pushes Scratch aside with his right drill.]
 * Grounder: Hey!

[Scratch puts his left hand on Grounder's right shoulder.]
 * Scratch: You don't want to go on a cruise all alone, do you?

[Scratch and Grounder pull the lever down.]
 * Scratch: A-ha!
 * Grounder: Ugh!

[''The three reels on the slot machine spin. Scratch and Grounder look at the reels in excitement, and they all land on cherries. A winning alarm sounds. Sonic runs away as Scratch and Grounder jump excitedly, with Scratch's hands on Grounder's shoulders.'']
 * Grounder: Ho-ho, look, jackpot!
 * Scratch: We won!

[''Just then, a huge rumbling sound is heard. Scratch and Grounder now stare in shock.'']
 * Scratch: Hoo?
 * Grounder: Huh?

[''Water sprays from the chute, and it pushes Scratch and Grounder off the dam. They flail their arms in midair.'']
 * Grounder: Whaa!
 * Scratch: Whaa-ha-ha!

[Scratch and Grounder fall, landing in the water below.]
 * Scratch and Grounder: Aaaah!

[''Back at the Casino Nursery, Tails is now lying on his back, tossing balls from the pit in a bored way. The Pig Lady looks at him.'']
 * Pig Lady: Having a good time, honey?
 * Tails: Kind of.
 * Pig Lady: Oh, that's nice. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention; this ain't free, you know!
 * Tails: It's not?

[The Pig Lady pulls out a bill that says, BILL, which she is now holding in her left hand.]
 * Pig Lady: One million Mobiums, please.
 * Tails: But I've only been here ten minutes!
 * Pig Lady: If you want to complain, take it up with the management!

[Tails stands up furiously.]
 * Tails: I will!
 * Pig Lady: The management is Dr. Robotnik!

[''The Pig Lady reaches behind her back with her right hand, and pulls out a picture of Dr. Robotnik in a tuxedo and necktie, above the word, MANAGER. Tails sits back down in fear.'']
 * Tails: Oh, I wont!

[The Pig Lady now clenches her fists together.]
 * Pig Lady: I'm sure he'll be happy to work out some form of payment!

[''The Pig Lady snorts, then presses a button with her left hand. A trap door opens, and the balls from the ball pit fall into it. Tails tries to run out, but ends up falling in himself.'']
 * Tails: Whoa! Sonic! Help!

[The screen fades to black.]
