01x43 - Fire in a Crowded Workshop

[bunniefuu]

Grr!

Thought you were pretty slick

playing Warrior Beagle
against Pugnacious Pug.

Didn't see that comin', did ya?

Bam! Slobbering Sheepdog
is marking his territory!

[laughs]

[gasps]

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh.
Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.

Uh... what are you doing?

Nothing embarrassing.
I'll tell you that right now.

Ah! Cute doggie doll.

They're not dolls,
they're playing pieces!

Part of a very sophisticated
battle game

that requires strategy, cunning,
and merciless aggression!

It's called Fuzzy Puppies.

[laughing]

-Sounds pretty lame, Amy.
-It's not lame!

It's the coolest
new game around!

If it's so cool, why are you
playing it all by yourself?

I'm just honing my skills

before the Fuzzy Puppy
meet-up at Meh Burger.

All the best, most popular
players in town will be there.

Excuse me,
can you tell me where the cool,

popular Fuzzy Puppy
fan group is?

Duh!
It's right here at this table.

-Noob!
-Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late!

I was polishing
my schnauzer and--

Eggman!
You're into Fuzzy Puppies?

Me? Oh... No, no, never!

I'm the evil and powerful
Eggman. I wouldn't--

Ah, who am I kidding?

Of course I collect
Fuzzy Puppies. They're adorable!

I know, right?

So, if you could do me a solid

and not tell Sonic
and those guys, OK?

-They'll just make fun of me.
-Tell me about it.

Don't worry.
Your secret's safe with me.

So, who's your favourite
Fuzzy Puppy?

OMG!
How can you choose just one?

You know, Eggman, maybe
you're not so bad after all.

[evil laugh] I'm gonna wipe
you filthy rodents

off the face of the planet!

[grunts]

Psst, Amy!
After this is over,

you wanna stop by the lair
for a quick Fuzzy Puppy sesh?

Are you serious? Why would I
wanna hang out with you?

You're in the middle
of attacking us!

That's just business.
Nine-to-five we're enemies,

but outside office hours
we're Fuzzy Puppy buddies.

-Need help over there, Ames?
-Nah, I got it!

Fine. I'll see you at : .

Curse you, Amy Rose,
for smacking me over the horizon!

And I definitely won't be
seeing you any time soon!

We're heading to the beach.
Wanna come with?

Uh, no, I gotta... water my cat.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
See ya!

That's the third time
she ditched us this week!

Yeah, I'm worried. I think
she's over-watering that cat.

Impressive collection.

Pitbull Paulie? Dirk Doberman?

Some heavy hitters.
Looks like someone's missing.

Ah, yes.
The legendary Fancy Poodle,

the white whale
of Fuzzy Puppies.

And I've been doggedly
pursuing it, like a hawk!

Well,
I brought over my collection.

Maybe you wanna do some trades?

Trades? For those lame-o pups?
I got the big dogs over here.

You've got enforcers, but you're
missing decoy dogs, assist pups,

-and defence mutts.
-See, the thing is,

I'm a collector.

I don't really know how to,
uh, play the game.

With a starter set like this
and some basic training from me,

you'll be a top-level
Puppy pugilist in no time!

The goal in is to eliminate
all your opponent's puppies.

Each puppy
has its own unique abilities.

Goldie the Retriever
can dig a hole,

trapping one of your opponent's
pieces for three turns.

Charlene Shar Pei has a bark

that can scare
a smaller dog off.

-What's that one do?
-Gertie the Bulldog.

If you move her,
she tracks mud in the house,

which gets her kicked off
immediately. I never move her.

She's cute,
so I keep her there for luck.

Ooh! This one's
wearing a little crown!

It's the Ice Tiara. Accessories
like that power up your pup.

-Also, they're adorable!
-You don't have to tell me.

[both giggle]

Now,
let me show you how it's done.

Good game. The student
has become the master.

I learned from the best.
Well, second best now.

You know,
since I just crushed you.

Victory flip!

Have you guys noticed that
it's been a really slow week?

Hey,
what if it's not a slow week?

What if stuff's happening
and we're just not a part of it?

That's absurd.
We're part of everything.

Yeah, whenever anything happens
it's always centred around you,

or me, or Knuckles, or Sticks,
or... Amy!

-What's going on?
-I can't see.

I find the other window
better for spying on Amy.

Looks like she's
setting up for a date.

A date? That's cool.
I mean, what do I care?

-Stop looking at me.
-[knock on door]

It's Eggman! We gotta stop him!

Oh! Uh... you did it.
Confound you.

You've stopped me from enacting
my brilliant, evil scheme,

which is the only reason
I was here. Oh, well. Gotta go.

Did that Eggman att*ck
seem strange?

No. He was fearsome.
I, for one, was terrified.

Eggman doesn't usually knock
before an att*ck.

-What's going on, Amy?
-Nothing.

I'm a weak, helpless girl
and you all saved me?

Urgh! Fine! Eggman and I are...
Fuzzy Puppy buddies.

You're friends with Eggman?

We're only friends
when we're not battling.

Then we're Fuzzy Puppy buddies.

And tomorrow
we're going to PuppyCon.

So it's a con! A swindle!
A hustle, a flim-flam, a grift!

And you're the sap, the mark,
the patsy, the gudgeon -

No, Sticks,
it's worse than that.

I think PuppyCon
is a Fuzzy Puppy fan convention.

Still, I don't trust Eggman,
so despite the risk

to my carefully cultivated
street cred,

we're going to PuppyCon!

[groaning]

This is awesome! And I don't
use that term lightly.

Hey! I just found
an old cheese puff in my pocket!

Awesome!

[shrieks with delight] Look at
all the adorable accessories!

Ooh!

Hey, kid! What'll you take
for that Fancy Poodle?

I don't think I could part
with Fancy Poodle.

Everyone has a price!

How about I give you
Missy Malamute, Pitbull Paulie,

and I'll throw in
my two service robots.

Tell you what.
Same deal, no Orbot and Cubot.

The offer's better already.

-No.
-OK,

you're a tough negotiator.

How about this? I'll throw in
my Obliterator Bot.

Kids love enormous,
destructive robots.

My son can't have a giant
destructive k*lling machine.

You know nothing
about children's safety!

My baby!

OK, your mom's gone.
Whaddya say?

[growls]

Here you go.
One Cuteness Hat.

When activated, it makes your
character too cute to resist.

Help! Someone or something
is attacking!

The Lightning Bolt Society!

Now to take care
of those Lightning Bolts.

Where did they go?

[moaning]

Let's go,
ya Lightning Bolt loser!

No! I'm innocent!

Don't tase me, bro!

I guess his PuppyCon experience
was... ruff.

[laughter]

[screaming]
That guy stole my Fancy Poodle!

Did not! We traded!

Your Fancy Poodle for my not
destroying all you hold dear.

-This ends now, Eggman!
-No, Sonic.

Let me handle this my way.

Eggman,
I challenge you to a game.

If I win, you give the kid
back his Poodle.

Fine! But if you lose,
I get... Gertie the Bulldog.

[gasp]

Why?
You know it's the worst piece!

Because you love it.
I am a villain, after all.

I know all your moves. This is
gonna be a piece of cake.

Cake?

-Argh!
-[gasp]

You're down to
Gertie the Bulldog,

the weakest piece in the game.

I played you like a violin.

Classical, not country.

It's just like
when I stole Fancy Poodle

by distracting you
with a rock slide

and blamed it on
The Lightning Bolts.

[laughing]

Shifted the blame, huh?

Good idea. Gertie,
let's track some mud, shall we?

Oh, I almost forgot.

[gasp]

The Cuteness Hat.

Gertie is now the most adorable
puppy on the board.

No one would blame her
for anything.

So, another dog must take
blame for the mud tracks!

And since I have
no other puppies,

I blame... Fancy Poodle!

No! No fair! Now you can
just blame all my puppies!

You can't win!
Give back the Poodle!

I'm not giving it back! I'm not!

Grr!

Fine! Then we're not
Fuzzy Puppy buddies!

But... but...
I thought we were FPBFFs!

All right,
I'll give back Fancy Poodle.

So, I'll see ya next week?

Say, uh,
right after I blow up the -

I mean,
after I paint my rumpus room?

And game over! I win!

[both laugh]
