01x32 - Mayor Knuckles

[bunniefuu]

Grrr!

[grunting]

Yah!

Agh!
I could use some help here.

I'm all over it.

Ugh! Oof!

Anyone order a butt-kicking

with a side of pain
and extra humiliation sauce?

[Eggman] Grrr!

Agh!

I always knew
you'd fall for me.

Ohh!

Knuckles the Echidna,
my arch nemesis.

You never learn,
do you, Egghead?

You'll never defeat my team.

We're a team?
We should get matching uniforms.

Oh, Sonic.
Uniforms by definition match.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
the grown-ups have some work to do.

[grunts]

No!

Oh, got it. That was almost
the worst disaster imaginable.

Mmm!

Yah! k*ll it with fire!

Calm down. It's just Knuckles.

- Oh. k*ll Knuckles with fire!
- Cool entrance, Knucks.

- You were meant to get buns.
- In mid-battle?

Sweet Amy, there'll be time
for your delicious burgers

after we've defeated
that dastardly deviant Eggman.

Nice vocab.

And impressive alliteration.
You been taking night classes?

Hey, guys.

Who's the beefcake?

[Sticks] They really look alike.

We need to figure out
how to tell them apart.

Our Knuckles can wear something
to distinguish himself.

But which one's our Knuckles?

Well, that depends.
What does "distinguish" mean?

No way! I'm not wearing that.

I'd be honoured to wear
your ridiculous hat, my dear.

Ohh!

He may look like Knuckles,
but he sure doesn't talk like him.

Hey! I talk gooder than you.

There's a perfectly rational
explanation for this.

I just haven't
figured it out yet.

[all sigh]

Worry not, young Tails.
Be diligent.

In time,
the answer will seek you.

Whoa.
I sound like a fortune cookie.

Oh, but I don't taste like one.

There's only one person smart enough
to unravel this enigma.

Welcome to Meh Burger.
Can I take your order?

Dave!
I'm glad I found you, friend.

We need your brilliant mind.

I'm sorry,
we're all out of that.

May I recommend
the Meh Rib sandwich?

Only available
for a limited time.

What's going on here?

Everyone seems to be
the opposite of their normal selves.

Hmm.

I think I understand
what's happening.

They say it's available
for a limited time

to create a false demand.

That's how they get you.

Also I figured out that this
guy is from another dimension.

Another dimension? You mean
with duplicates of each of us?

What if another one of me
shows up?

I can't trust me,
I'm a loose cannon.

Waaagh!

For years it's been theorised

that a mirror dimension exists
parallel to our own.

Theorised...

...by whom?

Theorised by me.

You see, the two Knuckleses
are polar opposites.

One is smart, sophisticated,
charming, likeable

and a born leader.

[both] Thank you.

And the other one
thought I meant him.

So how do we send him back?

That depends on how he got here
in the first place.

What's the last thing
you remember?

As I led my team
to certain victory,

Eggman's Octopus Bot
was sh**ting red and blue beams.

Two of them crossed,
creating a purple beam.

Sonic tried to save me,
but he was too clumsy and fell.

Boy, the two dimensions
really aren't that different.

Hmm... I'll need some time
to experiment

so I can replicate
the beam frequencies.

Forget that.

If my dimension's Eggman had
the technology to send me here,

your dimension's should have
what we need to send me back.

Great idea!
Let's go ask Eggman.

Who said anything about asking?
Let's take it.

Better to ask for forgiveness
than permission.

Wow, I sound like
a whole box of fortune cookies.

Let's do this. Follow me, team.

Not so fast, Silly Hat Knucks.
We're not aggressors.

Tails will figure this out.
We must be patient.

You can sit on the sidelines
if you want, but I'm taking action.

I don't know what just happened,

but I'm pretty sure
we're mad at you guys.

- [crash]
- [Knuckles] Ow!

Ah, there you are, buddy. Hope
you're not mad about before.

We got you a card
to cheer you up.

"Sorry the alternate dimension
you is a jerk."

[grunts]

Stupid card!
I didn't want to lift it anyway.

Whoa!

Yah! Ugh!

I'm fine, guys, I swear.

I hate it when he does that.

This must be tied
to the other Knuckles.

You mean that guy with the hat?

Having two of you
in the same dimension

is causing
a catastrophic anomaly.

Oh,
that's my least favourite kind.

Well, that and
mint chocolate chip. Urgh.

Tails, English, please.

Because both Knuckles are here,

the boundary between
the two dimensions is eroding.

Eventually both will implode.

We need them together so
I can send the smart one back.

Tails, keep working on
your red-blue-purple beam thing.

Amy, Sticks and I will go
to Eggman's lair to bring back

that other guy.

[grunting]

Huh?

Ugh!

OK, everyone ready
to put the plan into action?

[both] Yeah!

[Eggman] I'm busy!
Come back tomorrow.

- [groans]
- Hey, you're my prisoner.

You can't disappear like that.
Stop flickering.

All right, plan B.

Ugh!

Imagine Sonic's face when he sees
I have Knuckles trapped.

You don't have to imagine,
Egghead, cos here I am.

That was a bit of a let-down.
I was expecting a bigger reaction.

Maybe shock, outrage,
perhaps even a little ennui.

Anywho... Moto-bugs, att*ck!

Look who broke down the wall.
The non-aggressors.

Dude, this is
more of a rescue than an att*ck.

Excuses are easy
to manufacture, but hard to sell.

Why is Knuckles talking
like a fortune cookie?

That's not Knuckles. It's his double
from another dimension.

Oh, that explains the hat.

So you can tell them apart.
Great idea.

Thank... you.

Wait. There are multiple
Knuckleses in this dimension?

That could cause some kind
of catastrophic anomaly.

I do not want a dimensional
expl*si*n in my lab.

I just had the floors waxed.

What are you waiting for?
Get him out.

The reason alternate
dimension Knuckles is here

is that alternate dimension
Eggman sh*t him

with alternate dimension
Octopus Bot lasers.

That's so
alternate dimension me.

Could we borrow your lasers
so Tails can send this guy back

and prevent
the destruction of everything?

Sure. You should have just
asked me in the first place.

But I need them back
by Thursday.

- What's happening Thursday?
- I'm gonna att*ck your...

I mean, I'm having a party.

For this to work,
you need to be touching.

So when I tell you to,
bump fists.

Farewell, new friends.

I've learned much
from this wonderful journey.

OK...

Here goes!

Oops.

Uh, forgot to change batteries.

Awkward.

Yeah, it's like
when you say goodbye to someone

and then both walk away
in the same direction.

- So awkward.
- People always follow me.

All set.

[all sigh]

Bump!

By the way, Sonic, you're much
more capable in this dimension.

Nice meeting you.

You're the handsomest fellow
I ever met.

Thank you,
dim-witted version of me.

Cool!

Can I do that again

if I rub my feet on the carpet
and touch things?

Ugh!

Here, buddy, let me help you.

Oh, thanks, Knucks.
