1
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,040
Grrr!

2
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,960
Traditional. Nice, Sonic.

3
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,480
Very derivative, Tails.

4
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,240
Sticks,
yours just screams "fun".

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,760
And Knuckles.

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,880
It's so hard to choose a winner.

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,680
It probably doesn't matter, Amy.

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Because the beach is
nature's hourglass

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,360
and time will wipe clean what
we have built as everlasting?

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,600
No, because of the
ginormous storm.

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,280
Agh!

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,840
Quick, let's get to my shack.

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,920
- I don't think so.
- It's safer in the storm.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,280
Is that place up to code?

15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:52,760
Then we'll go to Amy's.

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,640
That could be fun, I guess.

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520
It can be a slumber party
and we'll stay up late and...

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Hey! Wait for me!

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,040
So it will be a slumber party.

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,840
We'll stay up
late, watch movies,

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,600
eat snacks,
play truth or dare...

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,880
- Truth: where are the snacks?
- I dare you to get them for us.

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,040
Not sure you guys
understand truth or dare,

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,960
but I can whip up
some hors d'oeuvres.

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,480
Hors d'oeuvres? I wanted snacks.
I hate this game.

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,280
[Amy] Here you go.

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,720
Quiche Lorraine,
vegetarian spring rolls

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480
and an assortment of baked
Camembert and Brie cheeses

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,240
on rosemary focaccia toast.

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,520
[all] Yeah!

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,560
[all sigh]

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,960
Not bad. Could have used some
ketchup, though.

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,600
- [groans]
- [thunder]

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,080
- Agh!
- Ooh, lightning phobia pile!

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Whoa! Agghh!

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,400
It's OK. A glass horse is just
as good as a glass unicorn.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,120
It's coming down pretty hard out there.
It can't get any worse.

38
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040
- It's time for arts and crafts!
- I spoke too soon.

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,120
Using a sprig of holly and just
a few everyday household items

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,440
that you have to order
from a craft catalogue,

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,360
you too can create a lovely
rustic wicker centrepiece.

42
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,360
How's everyone else's
centrepieces coming along?

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000
And now for the
pièce de résistance.

44
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:10,880
[sneezes]

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Look at this mess you made!

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,000
Don't you mean,
"Look at this art we made"?

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,680
OK. This is OK.

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Now one of my favourite party activities...
clean-up time!

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Come on, Amy,
we want to do something fun

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,480
like pole-vaulting
over the couch

51
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,560
or shot-putting Tails
across the room.

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,560
No! You guys have made a
big enough mess already.

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,640
Don't touch anything,
don't do anything,

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,480
just sit there quietly
until the storm passes.

55
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,480
- [ding!]
- Who's ready for popovers?

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,160
[all groan]

57
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,560
There's got to be something
fun to do around here.

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Huh?

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Well, well, well...

60
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,880
"A Rose Without Thorns,
a play in three acts."

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880
- And guess who wrote it.
- Me?

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
- No, not you. Amy.
- Ohh.

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,320
[clears throat] "An empty
stool sits under a spotlight"

64
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,680
as the lovely,
charismatic and super-popular Annie Rose

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,080
"appears through the curtain
and pours herself a lemonade."

66
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,560
"It was years since I first
met that mysterious stranger,

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,920
the one with fur the
colour of the ocean."

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,040
Who do we know with
ocean-coloured fur?

69
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,080
- Me?
- Well, it can't be me.

70
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,800
While I am mysterious,
I'm more of a royal blue.

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,200
"Sonar enters and crosses the
stage in his scarlet loafers."

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,680
Sonar: 'Hey, Annie,
I'm gonna play volleyball.

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,480
"I play against myself because
nobody else can keep up.'"

74
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,880
See? That doesn't
sound anything like me.

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
He's an egomaniac but without
the awesomeness to back it up.

76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,160
"Thump, thump, thump."

77
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,360
A knock at the door like the
sound of someone big and strong

78
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760
but unable to figure
out a simple doorknob.

79
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Annie Rose sashays to
the door and answers,

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,680
"revealing Shoulders,
the hulking dullard of a farm hand."

81
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Me?

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,160
"He strides towards Annie but is
distracted by a shiny object."

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,040
It doesn't say that.
Give it here. [Gasps]

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Wait. What was I about to do?

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,800
"But before Annie can reply,"

86
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,560
a naive young fox
named Taylor enters,

87
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,640
"cowering beneath
the legs of Sonar."

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Hey, I don't cower.

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,360
- [thunder]
- Ohh!

90
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Curse you, irony.

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,680
"Just when all hope is lost,"

92
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,880
enter Twigs,
the crazy-eyed feral badger.

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,040
'Miss Annie,
the robot apocalypse is nigh.

94
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,880
"I intercepted a transmission
from my toaster.'"

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080
This is just ridiculous.

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Everyone knows when the
robo-apocalypse arrives

97
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520
it's the can-openers that
will transmit signals.

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,720
Toaster!

99
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,280
What are you doing?

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360
You're reading my play?
That's an invasion of my privacy.

101
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,720
We have a right to read it since
we happen to be the characters.

102
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,560
- It's not based on you guys.
- Oh, no?

103
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,360
Gimme gimme gimme!

104
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,160
Oh, like Twigs isn't
exactly like you?

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
She'd be wiped out by the
robo-apocalypse in two seconds

106
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,440
taking advice from toasters.

107
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Can you believe these people?

108
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Guys, stop fighting!
Right, Sonic?

109
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,600
Was that you talking, Taylor?

110
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,040
I couldn't see you
in Sonic's shadow.

111
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,720
[laughs] Good one, Knucks.

112
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560
At least I'm not an
egomaniac, Sonar.

113
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,280
That character wasn't like me.

114
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,240
He wasn't nearly
as awesome as I am.

115
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,720
You know what's not awesome?

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Rummaging through my drawers
and reading my manuscript.

117
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:32,320
When this storm blows over,
we should go our separate ways.

118
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Why wait?
I'm going to the kitchen.

119
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,360
I will make and consume all the
dainty hors d'oeuvres I want...

120
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,280
without ketchup!

121
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,760
[all] Fine!

122
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Ugh!

123
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,960
What brings you from Workbenchia
to the Kingdom of Television?

124
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
The new Wolf Sidekick
special is about to come on.

125
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,960
I come bearing this necklace
made of the finest paperclips.

126
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,680
I offer it in exchange
for some screen time.

127
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Your paperclip necklace pleases me.
I grant you two minutes.

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,960
Lady Rose of House Kitchen,

129
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200
in exchange for safe
passage to your refrigerator

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,400
I offer you these blankets,
that you may be warm.

131
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,960
[Amy] Knuckles,
don't let the fact that I built a fort

132
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240
fool you into thinking
I'm playing this game.

133
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,720
Oh, come on.

134
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,040
I'm so hungry I'll eat those
horse doctors you force-fed us.

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,480
I don't need blankets.
It's not even that cold. Go away!

136
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,400
[toot-toot!]

137
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Shoehorn! Hey-oh!

138
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,240
Let's see what else
we got in here.

139
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:55,840
You like this?

140
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,080
He's so relatable.
He speaks for all sidekicks.

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Brrr. It's getting cold in here.

142
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Maybe I can build some sort
of heater back in Workbenchia.

143
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,840
[Sticks] Halt! Who goes there?

144
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Sticks, get out of my fort!

145
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,240
Not yours any more.
I took it in a daring raid.

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,120
No one was defending it,
but still, Workbenchia is mine.

147
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,960
Now go! But before you do,
where's the heat in this joint?

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,480
The heat! Of course.
Worry not, friends, I know where to go.

149
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,280
But it'll be a long, perilous
journey, so we must make haste.

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Well, we're here.

151
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Knuckles, we need blankets.
In exchange I'll let you watch TV.

152
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Television! Who needs it?

153
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Don't ever say that again!

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Come on, Knuckles.
It's cold and you've got all the blankets.

155
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Fools! Your offerings
mean nothing to me.

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,720
The thermostat is
under my control

157
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120
and only munchies
will end this winter.

158
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Ha! Who's the dullard now?

159
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,560
No, seriously, I'd like to know.

160
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760
[Amy] If you think I'm giving
in to your ploy, you're wrong.

161
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,560
- Turn off the air conditioning.
- Never!

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,600
For too long we've
allowed Knuckles

163
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,880
to control that thermostat
with an iron fist.

164
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,880
We must topple our oppressor
from his cushiony perch.

165
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Join with me and you'll never
want for comfy blankets again.

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,480
[both] Freedom!

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,440
Oh. So it's war you want, eh?

168
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,720
[Tails] Eat feathers, numbskull!

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480
If I can eat feathers,
who needs the refrigerator?

170
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,360
- Take that!
- Hey, watch it!

171
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,280
[all laughing]

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Hey, storm's over.
Yo, Amy, let's head back to the beach.

173
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,320
I can't believe you guys.

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,400
You criticise my
snacks but eat them,

175
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,520
make a mockery of
arts and crafts time

176
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,240
and make fun of my play.

177
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,440
And now you're gonna
leave without cleaning up?

178
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
[grunts] Ohh!

179
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,480
Ugh!

180
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
- We owe someone an apology.
- Me?

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,320
Amy's right.
We took things too far.

182
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,960
You know,
Amy's play wasn't all that bad.

183
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Actually, I kind of liked Twigs.

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,040
We can overlook the toaster
as a youthful indiscretion.

185
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Shoulders wasn't so bad either.

186
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040
I mean, he's no me...
but neither am I.

187
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,720
Or is it?

188
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,920
Yeah, it's almost as if they
were cartoon versions of us.

189
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,760
[all] Yeah.

190
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,880
I know how we can
make it up to Amy.

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Come on, Ames, you'll love it.

192
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,160
Unless it's a clean house
with an unbroken unicorn,

193
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,880
I'm not interested.

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,640
[gasps]

195
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for coming

196
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,120
to the premiere performance
of "A Rose Without Thorns",

197
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,680
written by our very own,
very talented Amy Rose.

198
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,040
It was years since I first
met that mysterious stranger

199
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
with fur the colour
of the ocean.

200
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Hey, Annie,
I'm gonna go play volleyball.

201
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,960
I play against myself because
nobody else can keep up,

202
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,680
but you can watch if you like.

203
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
What am I saying?
Of course you'd like to.

204
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Annie, let me take the wheel.

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,560
You'll never make it
through the storm.

206
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,920
A woman can do
anything a man can do.

207
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,600
And I will sing it from the
mountain tops if I have to...

208
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,760
This rose has no thorns!

209
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,400
[all cheer]

210
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,560
What an amazing reception.
I'd like to thank...

211
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,080
Whoa! Who wants to go to Amy's
house to ride out the storm?

212
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,280
Me?

213
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,440
[groans]

214
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
