Grrr!
[growls]
Moose!
Ready? This time for the record. One... two...
[all take a deep breath]
[door bangs]
- Moose! - Sticks!
I was this close to winning a pointless game.
Thanks for nothing.
I saw a moose!
- A cross-eyed moose! - So?
Crossing paths with a cross-eyed moose
brings a curse upon the moose-crosser and her friends.
Don't you know anything about science?
Um, Sticks, curses aren't real.
How come you lost the breath-holding game?
The curse! It all makes sense now.
You can doubt me, but I'll protect you anyway
because I'm a good friend.
And because it distracts me from the agents
who are replacing my plants with violins.
That's right. I'm on to you, buddy!
- My vase! - I win! Ha!
Mmm... Maybe the curse broke the vase, huh?
Yeah. The curse of the lunatic badger.
Uh-oh. Now there are two curses?
What the...
Hey, Tails, is your house...
Surrounded by Sticks' crazy traps?
Yep.
Sonic, what's up with you?
Just hanging out.
No, I haven't noticed anything.
Actually, now that you mention it...
- [all] Huh? - This is getting old.
Yeah. And I didn't even get a sandwich this time.
Brrr!
OK, I know what you're thinking.
Evil spirits didn't set this trap. I did! To protect you.
From... dangerous door-knocking?
No. From the aforementioned evil spirits.
Aren't you paying attention? They are bad news.
They'll eat your souls, chew them up and spit them out.
This curse is scary and disgusting.
Is there maybe a less intrusive way to keep us safe?
Well, legend has it that if we find a marmoset monkey
with a white stripe on its back and a tail shaped like a W...
Shaped like a W?
Do you mind? Now, where was I?
Only such a monkey can remove the curse.
So what's it gonna be? Traps or monkey?
Is this really the easiest path?
Safer than... I don't know... that one?
Hello? The curse will get us if we're out in the open.
This path is hidden from bad luck.
And volcanoes. And cursquitos.
And reason. And logic. And snack machines.
I'm all for playing it safe, but...
Little help here?
We made it! Good thing we took the safe path.
[Knuckles] Yeah.
Good thing.
- Excuse me, sir. We uh... - Let me guess.
You saw a cross-eyed moose and now you think there's a curse.
- Yes! I... - Well, there is. On me.
My curse is nincompoops like you see that thing and bother me.
But I am out of the curse-breaking business.
That went well. I guess it's time to go home.
No! I'll be cursed forever!
Help me, please! Please, please, please, please!
Are you gonna keep pounding on my door until I help you?
Pretty much.
Ugh! Why did I become a curse-breaker?
I should have been a dermatologist like my brother.
He never deals with unpleasant stuff.
All right, all right, all right. I'll break one last curse.
Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Don't make me regret my decision.
Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
Now, then, if you want me to lift the curse,
you and your friends must prove yourselves worthy.
How?
You will be given some tasks to prove your hearts are pure.
If you succeed, I will free you
from the curse of the cross-eyed moose.
But I warn you, many have tried and many have failed.
We'll do it! 100% Sonic guarantee.
Yeah, yeah, good. Here's a list.
Be done before five. I've got a dinner thing. Toodles!
Before you go, would you mind taking a look at this rash?
I think I'm allergic to fish saliva.
So get out of the fish!
Picking avocados proves our hearts are pure?
What must we pick to prove our avocados are pure?
Oh, man. I just blew my own mind.
If this is what he wants to break the curse,
then we should do it, no questions asked.
Now we have to squeeze lemons?
- Technically that's a question. - Technically, zip it.
"Search the forest for the ripest tomatoes"?
"Then crush to a paste with the mightiest rocks"?
Wait a minute...
You had us make guacamole.
And it took you long enough!
I hope this proves us worthy. Curse-removal-wise.
Uh, not quite.
You must also...
cleanse these garments in the purest river in the...
Fine. We'll do your laundry too.
I'm starting to think that marmoset is the curse.
Those things better smell fresh.
You know, marmosets are filthy animals.
I'm here about the curse of a cross-eyed moose.
I'm out of the curse business!
I don't believe in curses.
But my accountant suggested I diversify my evil business,
so I'm getting into curse removal.
And you're coming to work for me. Ha-ha-ha!
No, thanks.
Oh? My diabolical laugh usually convinces people.
Oh, I see. You want to negotiate.
A little back and forth. Give and take.
OK, I'll go first.
Minions, attack!
[laughs]
- [Sonic] Eggman? - Oh!
I never thought I'd say this, but boy, am I glad to see you!
Oh, I'd just fluffed those.
That's for the laundry.
Brrr!
Hey, you left my clothes on the ground.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Ugh!
You're coming with me, monkey-boy.
That's Mr Monkey-Boy to you. And to anyone else, actually.
My parents were hippies
and gave me one of those trendy hyphenated last names.
[metal clanking]
Ha-ha!
Hey, you OK?
I'm just peachy. I love having my home destroyed by a madman.
What are you, nuts?
If you're not happy with our help,
I'm sure other curse-removing marmosets would love to have us.
I'm the only one, but I get your point.
Look, I'll do anything you want if you can just get rid of him.
As my great aunt used to say, no retreat, no surrender.
Retreat! Surrender!
Catch you later, Eggface.
Look at the mess you made.
What happened to "I'll do anything"?
Well, you ruined my laundry.
But you did save my life.
So I shall now break the curse of the cross-eyed moose.
Yes! Ho-ho-ho!
Raise your right hand.
Oh, wait, that's weddings.
Um... just stand there and try not to look too stupid.
Blahbiddy-blah-blah-blah.
Dongiddy-diddy-do. Wabba-wabba-bam. Hey!
The curse is gone. There you go.
- Done! - That's it? It's all over?
Were you expecting a parade? Curse is broken. Get lost!
This guacamole ain't gonna eat itself.
I'm free! Free of the curse!
Free to live life freely! In freedom!
And we're free of your superstitious nonsense.
[Sticks] Aaagh!
No! A mauve-coloured seven-legged spider.
Oh, crud.
It's eleven years bad luck!
We must go to Lake Yennyhaha and bathe in the mud...
Boom! Curse broken.
[all laugh]
