This is the transcript of the Sonic Boom episode, "Lair On Lockdown".
[Scene: Inside Eggman's Lair, day.]
- Dr. Eggman: For years, I plotted and toiled, working tirelessly day and night to find the truest essence of evil. And now, I've finally done it... with my new online ticket selling business!
- [Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks enter.]
- Sonic: [Angrily] You've gone too far this time, Egghead! We just bought tickets to Koalapalooza and your fees are outrageous!
- Dr. Eggman: Whatever do you mean? My service just has a few humble processing charges.
- Amy: What about the convenience fee for printing tickets at home?
- Dr. Eggman: You can always get 'em shipped or pick them up at the venue.
- Tails: But then there's shipping or "we'll call" fees, and it's no longer convenient!
- Dr. Eggman: I just added another fee... for having an annoying face. Robots, collect!
- [Badniks enter out of two passageways. As the group battle them, the claw of a destroyed Mantis hurls towards Sticks, who bats it with a wooden staff, causing it to lodge in the room's control panel and malfunction. A sorting directive is initiated.]
- Computer: Engaging occupant sorting.
- [Four transport tubes descend from the ceiling, vacuuming the group into pairs and depositing each in a different room of the lair. Sonic, holding onto Eggman's chair, crawls toward the control panel.
- Sonic: Just... gotta... shut it... off!
- [Pressing a sequence of buttons, the directive is ended.]
- Sonic: I did it!
- Computer: Emergency lockdown in effect.
- [Doors to all the rooms begin to close and lock, trapping everyone.]
- Computer: Lockdown will release in 48 hours.
- Sonic: 48 hours? S'not so bad. I can wait it out... [Impatiently] What's taking so long?! I gotta get out of here!
- [Sonic desperately Spin Dashes the door, now shielded with a force-field.]
- Sonic: This force-field. It's impenetrable!
- Cubot: Yeah, and you can't get through it either.
- [Removing the Mantis claw, Sonic activates a keyboard on the control panel.]
- Computer: Verbal password required.
- Sonic: Quick, what's the password?!
- Cubot: [Shrugs] Uh-a-nuh.
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- Tails: [To Communicator] We're trapped in the lair basement. Can anyone read me? [To Amy] These force-fields must be blocking communication. Until the lockdown's disabled, there's nothing we can do.
- Amy: There's one thing we can do: tidy up! [Produces a feather duster.] This basement's a pigsty.
- [Tails sighs]
[Scene Change: Eggman's living room.]
- [Sticks pounds the door of the living room, also shielded.]
- Sticks: Just perfect. Trapped in an evil madman's lair, and the only company I got is some soulless robo scum.
- Orbot: Would a soulless scum bot be able to do... this?
- [Orbot impersonates detaching and reattaching one of his fingers. Sticks screams.]
- Sticks: Get away from me with that voodoo!
- Orbot: How about some small talk. Uh... how's your family?
- Sticks: Like I'm gonna give my personal information to your robot database.
- Orbot: Alright... uh, what about some party games? I spy with my little eye...
- Sticks: You spy!? So the truth comes out...
- Orbot: How about I just sit in the corner and give you some space?
[Scene Change: Storage room.]
- Dr. Eggman: I can't believe this! [Pounds door] Help! Let me out!
- Knuckles: We're screaming and hitting stuff now?!
- [Knuckles bangs on an overturned plastic tub. Eggman shrinks to the floor.]
- Dr. Eggman: [Miserably] So this is what it's come to. A prisoner in my own lair. And to make things worse, I'm stuck with that knuckleheaded knucklehead Noodles! I feel like such a fool.
- Knuckles: Ah, don't worry. I do foolish things all the time. Hey, we're twinsies!
- Dr. Eggman: Ugh...
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- [Amy pushes a stack of boxes out of her way, revealing glowing drums.]
- Amy: I can't believe it! These drums of hazardous waste are filthy!
- Tails: [Restrains Amy] Whoa!
- [Tails uses his Communicator to scan a leak from a drum.]
- Tails: According to my readings, these barrels are full of radioactive Mootonium. We should be fine, as long as they stay at a cool temperature.
- Amy: But just to be safe, maybe we should move to the other side of the room?
- [Amy and Tails retreat, nervously.]
[Scene Change: HQ room.]
- Computer: Access denied.
- Sonic: [Grunts] We can figure out Eggman's password. What haven't we tried? How 'bout Eggman's favorite... I don't know, kind of music?
- Cubot: Easy. Dubstep polkacore!
- Computer: Access denied.
- Sonic: Favorite color?
- Cubot: Clear.
- Sonic: How is that even–
- Computer: Access denied.
- Sonic: Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. What kind of stuff does Eggman really care about?
- Cubot: Uh, mustache grooming, that sassy judge from TV who takes no guff, your approval...
- Sonic: Pfft. If Eggman wanted my approval, he'd give himself a cool password, like... "chili dog".
- Computer: Access granted.
- Sonic: Huh? Touché, Egghead! Now, let's turn off this lockdown.
- [Sonic surveys the control panel, pressing buttons at random.]
- Sonic: Eeny, meeny, miny...
- [A chime plays from the control panel.]
- Sonic: I think we just did something!
[Scene Change: Eggman's living room.]
- [The lights in the living room turn off.]
- Orbot: There appears to be a lighting malfunction. Allow me.
- [Orbot turns on his eye lights, blinding Sticks.]
- Sticks: D'oh! Turn those off! I'm not gonna sit here in a blackout getting stared down by some beady eyed robot!
- [Orbot turns his lights off, saddened.]
- Sticks: I get it. You're gonna sneak up on me in the cloak of darkness. Well, I'm not falling for it. Turn those lights back on!
- [Orbot complies, spotting an air vent on the wall.]
- Orbot: An AC vent. Might that be our ticket to freedom?
- Sticks: Yeah. And I ain't paying no convenience fee this time.
[Scene Change: Storage room.]
- Dr. Eggman: [Miserably] Look around, Nickles. Every failed invention and science project of my life is in this room. [Pulls articles from a box.] A can from my old tomato sauce. A decapitated head of my Shrew Bot. A dinosaur egg from when we went back in time.
- Knuckles: Who could forget that classic adventure? Hey, what's this?
- [Knuckles grabs a small robot off the floor.]
- Dr. Eggman: Is that... is that, Zippie? My first robot! Oh, this takes me back! I used to be so full of hope back then.
- Knuckles: You know what I do when I start to feel down?
- Dr. Eggman: No, what?
- Knuckles: I have no idea. I feel great all the time!
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, living Room, night.]
- [Sticks holds Orbot above her head atop a ladder.]
- Orbot: Just... about. Got it!
- [As Orbot removes the vent grating, him and Sticks fall to the floor.]
- Orbot: If we want to crawl through, we'll need to turn down the force of the air conditioning.
- Sticks: I'm all over it.
- [Sticks walks to and opens a small access panel in the wall.]
- Orbot: It's very simple. You switch off the red button, readjust the level of the green knob to sixteen. At the same time–
- [Sticks rips a handful of wires out of the panel, cutting the AC.]
- Orbot: Primitive, but efficient.
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- Tails: Did the air conditioning just shut off?
- Amy: I hope so. It was getting a little chilly in here.
- Tails: While I do care about your comfort, I'm slightly more concerned about the half-dozen barrels of radioactive Mootonium that need to stay cool so they won't explode.
- [Amy and Tails rush over to the barrels, fanning and blowing them.]
[Scene Change: Inside the AC vents.]
- [Orbot and Sticks crawl their way through the vent, stopping at a fork.]
- Orbot: I'm not sure if we should take a left, or a right here.
- Sticks: I thought you said you knew Eggman's lair like the back of your hand.
- Orbot: Let's be honest. Does anyone really know the back of their hand as well as that phrase implies?
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- [Amy and Tails continue to blow on the barrels, Tails becoming lightheaded.]
- Amy: You OK? Better take a break. I don't want you getting hurt.
- [Orbot and Sticks abruptly fall on Tails.]
[Scene Change: Storage room.]
- [Dr. Eggman places Zippie on the floor, who wheels around.]
- Knuckles: [Laughs] What a silly little robot. He can't even talk good like me do.
- Dr. Eggman: No, you dolt! Zippie's circuitry is so simple, he can only communicate through Morse code. Wait a minute... I've got it!
- Knuckles: Well while you do have a unique look, I wouldn't say you had it, per say.
- Dr. Eggman: Not that. Morse code! We can use it to send messages to the other rooms. And come on, I have it. [Points to a wrench.] Now hand me that wrench.
- [Knuckles hands Eggman the wrench, who begins tapping on the wall.]
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- Amy: Does anybody else hear that?
- Tails: It's Morse code!
- [Orbot runs to the source of the sound and listens.]
- Orbot: It's Dr. Eggman. He says he's trapped in the storage room.
- Tails: We better tell him about the unstable Mootonium.
- [Orbot knocks on the wall in response.]
[Scene Change: Storage room.]
- [Eggman listens.]
- Dr. Eggman: Oh, no. I knew I forgot something during spring cleaning. My 330 gallons of volatile radioactive ooze. We gotta put the kibosh on this lockdown before the whole place blows sky-high!
- [Eggman taps the wall.]
[Scene Change: Eggman's Lair, basement.]
- [Orbot listens.]
- Orbot: Dr. Eggman is sending directions on how to override the security system. We need to relay it to the HQ room on the other side of the lair.
- [Tails runs to the opposite corner of the room with his wrench.]
- Orbot: "Listen closely, you shrill little–" Oh, best leave that part out... "To turn off the lockdown, first you..."
- [Tails begins tapping the wall.]
[Scene Change: HQ room.]
- [Sonic and Cubot observe the sound.]
- Sonic: What's that?
- Cubot: Sounds like Morse code. "A catastrophe in the lair basement"? Honestly, I'm a little rusty. I haven't spoken Morse since I dated that telegraph machine.
- Sonic: Details, Cubot?
- Cubot: We drifted apart, wanted different things. Ohoho! You mean in the lair? Oh, something about a dangerous substance about to "explowsh". Explowsh? What's "explowsh"?
- Sonic: You mean explode?!
- Cubot: Ah, that makes more sense! The lair's about to explode! "To shut off the lockdown, find a gray slider on the console and slide it down."
- [Sonic moves the a vertical slider completely down.]
- Cubot: "About halfway".
- Sonic: Uh-oh...
[Scene Change: Storage room.]
- [A claw noose descends from the ceiling, grabbing Knuckles by his legs and slamming him against the room.]
- Dr. Eggman: No, no, no! I said halfway down! Honestly, why do they hurt me so?
- [A montage played to a drumline begins, with characters daisy-chaining Morse to Sonic, who continues operating the control panel.]
[Scene Change: HQ room.]
- Cubot: "And the final command is c161g, and then the doors open".
- [As Cubot and Sonic turn to the doors, nothing happens. Sonic begins pounding them.]
- Sonic: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I did everything you said! Why isn't it working?!
- Cubot: Maybe you left the Caps Lock on?
- Sonic: Course I didn't leave the Caps Lock on! [Rushes back to panel.] Welp, found the problem. Completely un-Caps Locks related. [Chuckles nervously, typing.] "c161g".
- [The command is accepted and lockdown ends.]
[Scene Change: Outside Eggman's lair, day.]
- [As everyone rushes out front, Eggman's lair explodes, leveling it.]
- Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Sticks, Orbot and Cubot: Yeah!
- Sticks: [To Orbot] You really helped save our butts in there Orbie. Of all the robotic abominations against nature, you're the one I hate the least.
- [Orbot smiles.]
- Dr. Eggman: It's gone. Everything I've ever built... destroyed.
- Knuckles: Not everything.
- [Knuckles reveals Zippie from behind his back, Eggman taking and hugging it.]
- Dr. Eggman: Zippie! Aw, thanks, Nuffles! I really owe you one. Anything you want, you got it!
- Knuckles: Well, you could refund our service fees on those Koalapalooza tickets.
- Dr. Eggman: Tell you what. How about 4% off your next purchase... not to be combined with any other offer.
- Knuckles: Done and done!
- [Knuckles and Eggman shake as Zippie shakes its head unconvinced.]
