1
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,960
Grr!

2
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,560
"Habeas Corpus."

3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,120
"Due process."

4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Oops.

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,000
"Authorization to clean desk."

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,080
[clears throat] Ready for
the fishing trip, old bean?

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,160
No, no, no.
Too much approving to do.

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080
The town bylaws won't
stamp themselves.

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,320
"Self-Stamping Prohibition Act."

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,280
See? If only there was
someone to cover for me.

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,120
I say, if only there was
someone to cover for me...

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,160
So we can get the story started!

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,720
This is an outrage,
a travesty, a plukey plok!

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,040
- "A plukey plok"?
- I made that last one up.

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,480
Rule of threes, Your Majesty.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Anyway, I'd like this
important law passed.

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240
[clears throat] "Henceforth,
peanut butter and pickles"

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
shall ne'er be packaged
in separate containers

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,160
"as they inevitably wind
up in the same sandwich."

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,600
I can help you with this,

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,720
but in exchange,
I'll need something from you.

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,120
Are you prepared to
do your civic duty?

23
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,080
[chuckles] You said "civic."

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Yes. Citizen Knuckles,
I need you to stamp these laws

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,960
with the mayoral seal between now
and, say, 5:30,

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240
- when the fish stop biting.
- I'm in!

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Who's in charge here?

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,080
I guess I am.

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,760
[sleepy sigh]

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240
- [drilling]
- Huh? Argh!

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,760
Hey!

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Hey!

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,680
What are you doing?

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,000
The mayor's office just approved
construction of a new mall.

35
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,920
See?

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840
[incoherent imprecations]

37
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Next! [Stamping]

38
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,720
Next! [Stamping] Next!
[Stamping] Next!

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,200
With whom do I speak about

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,120
adding a new wing
to the library?

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,440
With meem! Approved!

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,920
By the way, I believe the proper
pronunciation is li-berry.

43
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,840
I'd like approval for
a parade through town

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480
to celebrate my half birthday!

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Half birthday approved.

46
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,720
I think this village should
have moving sidewalks.

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,520
I don't know.

48
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Do you want to live in a world
without moving sidewalks?

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Excellent argument. Approved!

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,680
[stamping continues]

51
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,640
Hey, Knucks.
Uh, why are you in the mayor's office

52
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,320
- stamping bills into law?
- I'm doing my civic duty.

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,480
- [chuckles]
- Oh, grow up, Sonic.

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,280
[giggles] "Civic."

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
- Who's in charge here?
- I am!

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480
And I'm doing a good job, too.

57
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,680
See?

58
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,360
You approved building a new mall...
next to my burrow?

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600
- On my land?
- Sticks, Sticks, Sticks.

60
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,280
I approve lots of things,
next to lots of burrows,

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,000
on lots of people's lands.

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,560
I can't keep track
of all of 'em!

63
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,960
Your recklessness is
destroying my home!

64
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Sticks, don't worry.
You know someone on the inside now!

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680
Just write up a proposition
and I'll ram it through.

66
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Gah! Politics has corrupted you!
I'm bringing you down, Knuckles!

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
- You and your goons!
- Me? What did I do?

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,040
[incoherent imprecations]

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,440
The trash should've been picked up!
Where's that garbage man?

70
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,400
I want to take a few months off.

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,520
See the trash in
other countries,

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160
maybe get some fancy
foreign coveralls.

73
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,560
What's the worst
that could happen?

74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120
See? No consequences!

75
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,720
I can't keep looking at this
stack of failed inventions.

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,720
It's bad enough
looking at you two!

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,680
Must every random observation
circle back to insult us?

78
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:39,960
It's not you.

79
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
I'm just frustrated about the
trash situation, you idiots!

80
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Apology accepted.

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
That's it!
I'm going to City Hall!

82
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,480
You lug nuts wait here.

83
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560
We need to stop Knuckles and
get government out of our lives!

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,600
What has government
ever done for us?

85
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,360
Maintain the fire department.
Can't say that's a bad idea.

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,200
- [murmurs of assent]
- Well, yeah, that's true.

87
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,920
- There's also the sewer system.
- [murmurs of assent]

88
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Yeah, I definitely don't
want that responsibility.

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,280
And have you tried those
new moving sidewalks?

90
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,440
Pretty sweet!

91
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360
You can make all the
good arguments you want,

92
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,240
but don't come cryin' to me

93
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,680
when Knuckles gets his
pudgy government fingers

94
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:18,160
all over your lives.

95
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Next! Whatcha got?

96
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,560
Well, it's kind of a long list.

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,400
No time to read a list.
Approved! Next!

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,520
Hey, Knurples!
What's with the trash collection?

99
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,720
- You've...
- Sorry,

100
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,000
there's a lot of people waiting.
You'll have to take a number.

101
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,640
It's out of numbers.

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,360
You need to fill out
a complaint form.

103
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320
- Can I get one?
- I'd love to help you.

104
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,360
- Take a number.
- Grr.

105
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,840
I have a request to shout
"Woo-hoo!" in a public place.

106
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,040
Approved!

107
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,800
Woo-hoo! That was the
high point of my life.

108
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Move it, pal! I got permission
to build my house right here!

109
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200
And I got permission to
build my tunnel right here!

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,920
Outta the way!

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,440
I got a permit to build
my lemonade factory here!

112
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
We better go sort this mess out.

113
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,120
I'd like to check this one out.

114
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Impossible.
Thanks to the Organised Bookshelf Act

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,160
it's now illegal
to check out books.

116
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,040
Finally I have protection

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,520
from people who think
books are for reading

118
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240
and not for sitting neatly
in a row on the shelf.

119
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,960
[groans]

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,880
[grunts]

121
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,800
My ice cream! Why?
Why did the village reverse its ban

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,040
on flammable frozen treats?

123
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120
Ooh! It's not moving! I'm stuck!

124
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Just walk! Use your legs!

125
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,360
My taxes paid for
moving sidewalks.

126
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,280
No way I'm using my legs!

127
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,320
[grunts]

128
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,600
[arguing]

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,320
That red imbecile has done
more damage to this village

130
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,120
in a few hours than
I've done in years

131
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:03,600
with my ingenious, worthwhile,
and well-executed plans!

132
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Knubbles must be stopped!

133
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Much as I hate to say it,
Eggman, we're with you!

134
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Now we need a plan.

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,920
You gotta outlaw peanut
butter and pickle sandwiches!

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,240
If people realise they can get
cheap, barely edible food

137
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520
outside of Meh Burger,
I'm out of a job!

138
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Look at you.
You who were once so proud.

139
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Go now and never return!

140
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,760
I see what's going on here.

141
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,040
You're in the pocket of Big
Peanut Butter and Pickles.

142
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Ow! Is there any chance

143
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000
you could stamp some sort
of universal healthcare law?

144
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960
OK, Knuckles,
I order you to stand down.

145
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Lower the stamp and
back away from the desk.

146
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,040
- No.
- Well, I'm out of ideas.

147
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,240
I'm not!

148
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760
It's now illegal
to use your finger

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,680
to activate a weapon.

150
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Grr!

151
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Ow!

152
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Any chance I can get in on
that universal healthcare?

153
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600
No boomerangs! No hammers!
No inventions! No spin attacks!

154
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,000
No mayonnaise!

155
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Knuckles,
you've gone mad with power!

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Oh, really? Well,
would someone mad with power approve a law

157
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,920
giving himself ultimate
authority over everything?

158
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,840
That's the dictionary
definition of "mad with power!"

159
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440
I wish I could corroborate that,

160
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920
but it's illegal to check
books out of the liberry.

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,480
Huh?

162
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Nice try, Knuckles,
but I'm afraid your stamp is out of ink.

163
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:37,159
[groans]

164
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Nice work!
Now destroy the stamp!

165
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,200
- Eggman?
- I'm afraid there's been

166
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,760
a slight change of plans.

167
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,520
With this stamp,
I now rule the village!

168
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,000
First order of business?

169
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,240
Strip waste management
of all vacation time!

170
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,160
[evil laugh]

171
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Au contraire, mi amigo.

172
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Any change to waste management
requires form 48C-13.

173
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,280
And where do I find that?

174
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080
You'll have to take a number.

175
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,520
[grunts]

176
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Find me that form!

177
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,240
[battle cry]

178
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,440
I believe I outlawed
those weapons.

179
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Knuckles, you gotta let us fight!
Or else...

180
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Eggman's trash will be
collected in a timely fashion?

181
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,280
Wait, why are we fighting this?

182
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,440
Because he picked my
stamp up off the ground

183
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,280
and seized absolute power!

184
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,720
[battle cry]

185
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Grr! Huh?

186
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Aha! Now to get some ink.

187
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,320
Where's my octopus bot?

188
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,800
Right here, boss!

189
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,640
[laughs]

190
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,440
Ah!

191
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Look what you've done!

192
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480
You've created more trash
that won't get hauled away.

193
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,000
Ah, it's always good to
get away for a few hours.

194
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,480
What the...?

195
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,120
Sorry about the mess.

196
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,960
But you know how it
is, being mayor,

197
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,120
stamping everything that
comes across your desk,

198
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,600
regardless of its merits.

199
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360
You have no idea how happy
we are to see you, sir.

200
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,160
Any chance I can get
my trash collected?

201
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,080
Take a number.

202
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:52,680
[sighs]

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
