Grrr!
What's so awesome that you had to bring me all the way here?
Check it out. Voice-activated controls.
Start engine.
[whirring]
Huh. Let me try.
Give me a chocolate shake.
Vanilla? I asked for chocolate. Fail.
Urgh!
Still working out the kinks.
There's a towel back at the workshop.
Ow!
[all] Agh!
Uh... Voice Control, I don't mean to be bossy but...
don't crash!
Uh-oh.
[sighs]
Agh!
Aargh!
Voice-activated rocket thrusters
are a bad idea if you're screaming.
I wouldn't have screamed if you weren't making that noise.
What noise? I didn't hear any noise.
Wait a minute.
Because you're faster than the speed of sound,
you don't hear it.
I'll prove it wasn't me.
When I run and nothing happens you're going to feel so dumb.
Aargh!
Now, that's just circumstantial evidence.
I'll run a few tests to figure out what's wrong with you.
I just can't figure out what's wrong with you.
Until we get to the bottom of this, don't run.
All right, no problem.
Sorry. Old habit.
Sonic, you were supposed to bring the volleyball.
Oh, sorry. I'll just zip home and get it.
And by "zip" I mean walk slowly and deliberately.
Ugh! Is this what average people do?
This is nuts.
Guys! Robot attack at six o'clock.
I can't do six o'clock. I have tickets to the opera.
- Wait, that's someone else. - Behind you!
[Amy groans]
Yah!
Sonic, we got this.
Huh! Huh! Huh!
Way to go, Knucks. A left, then a right, then another left.
Wait, which one am I on?
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
[groans] How come he gets it and I don't?
Sticks, your best move is a spin attack.
That's your move, not mine.
Uh-oh.
Yah!
Yeah! Give them a taste of your secret triple backflip move.
It's not a secret if you tell everyone.
This ends now!
Hey! I thought you were talking about them.
Sure, act like you can do it without...
me.
[all laugh]
So someone else is sitting on the sidelines.
Eggman. Ugh!
Wait, what do you mean, "someone else"?
I didn't send out these crab-bots.
Orbot and Cubot were dusting
and accidentally hit a button in the lair.
So you weren't behind this?
Looks like you don't need to be a genius
to be an evil genius any more.
Makes me feel kind of unneeded.
Huh. I guess we have something in common.
You eat popcorn when you're depressed too?
Uh... no.
Yeah!
The sitting on the sidelines thing.
Have some popcorn. You'll feel better.
OK, the doctor is in. Talk to me.
I'm your enemy but it doesn't mean we can't be friends.
Sonic! Eggman's not your friend.
If you listen to him, you'll end up tied to something.
Yeah. I wouldn't want that to happen.
I don't think this is a good idea, Sonic.
Well, you couldn't help me. I'm kind of out of options here.
[sighs] Whenever I run, there's this weird noise.
You know, that happens to Cubot when he gets into the motor oil.
Let's go run some tests.
[whirring]
I see.
A classic case of velocity to energy ratio incompatibility.
Why is it happening now?
It comes with age. Like wisdom... and nose hair.
But not to worry, I have what you need right here.
These shoes have power-absorbent insoles.
They'll prevent the sound loop that's causing the noise.
And they're machine-washable.
[sniffs]
How do I know this isn't another scheme of yours?
You think I'm planning a secret blister attack?
If you don't want my help you can always walk out of here.
OK, here goes nothing.
Hey, that really was nothing. The noise is gone.
- Thanks, Egghead. - Don't mention it, buddy.
Yeah! Sonic's back, baby.
Don't refer to yourself in the third person. It's creepy.
Yeah. Knuckles hates that.
Wait. No noise! I guess Eggman figured it out.
Yeah! Power-absorbent insoles.
Eggman actually helped me.
Or... it was part of a trap.
Sonic, I'd like you to meet Giant Robot.
I didn't name him because I was too busy planning this trap.
[Eggman] My turn!
It doesn't have a power source. How is that even possible?
Ha-ha-ha!
That's right, Sonic, run. Run!
Sonic, stop!
Your shoes are powering the robot.
The faster you move, the stronger it gets.
Ooh, sneaky. I wish I'd thought of that.
Oh, wait, I did.
Oh, well, that's easy to fix.
[grunts]
Oh, did I forget to mention? They don't come off.
We'll see about that, Eggy.
[grunts]
Ow.
I'm not saying it'll be easy.
Huh!
Ugh!
Brrr! Yah!
If Sonic's not running, why does the robot still have power?
Because the shoes store the energy he generates. You see...
Are you really going to explain how you did it?
The hardest part was playing that sound every time Sonic ran.
I've prepared a presentation that explains the whole scheme.
Yah!
Do you know how long it took me to prepare it?
I've prepared a presentation that explains it step-by-step.
If you could only see yourself right now.
I took your greatest strength and made it into a weakness.
[Eggman laughs crazily]
[laughter continues]
Sonic, this is crazy.
No, it isn't. It's stupid.
- Crazy. - Stupid.
No... it's brilliant!
Hey, wait. That's too much.
Seriously. Slow down! It's overloading.
Now that we're done warming up, Sonic's gonna go for a run.
Do you guys think it's creepy
when he refers to himself in the third person?
[all] Yeah.
