01x51 - Counter Productive

[bunniefuu]

Grrr!

[evil laughter]

Dr Eggman's really tearing
into that toy and game factory.

What did that toy and game
factory ever do to him?

Haven't you imbeciles
ever been in a covert operation?

I need complete silence
or we might be discovered.

[whirring]

Not so fast, Egghead.

What? Hold on,
let me turn this thing off.

I told you your shouting
would attract attention.

Ballbots, att*ck!

Viewers will agree there's
nothing like watching a contest

between two
evenly-matched competitors,

one of whom always loses
to the other.

That's right, Orbot.

So what is
Eggman's strategy here?

We talked with him earlier.

I told you talking bedpans
already.

By robbing the village
of any source of fun,

the citizens will become
sad, dry husks

and will pay huge fees
to enjoy my new amusement park.

Now get that camera
out of my face!

Ooh! Let's see that again
in slow motion.

Urrgh!

I can do a polka,
I can do a split,

I can catch a ballbot
just like this!

- Yow!
- Gah!

Oh! You hate to see that happen
to promising young ballbots.

- Agh!
- Ugh!

Batter up!

Swing and a miss. Swing
and a miss. Swing and a miss.

Bah!

- Grrr!
- [all] Yeah!

Slow sarcastic clap.
Slow sarcastic clap.

Sorry, I'd do the real thing
if my hands weren't... you know.

What's wrong? You're letting
the air out of our victory.

Some victory. Five against one.

If you want to be fair you'd
battle one on one from now on.

That is unless you'd prefer it
to be... unfair.

[all] No, no.

I don't care either way.

OK, Eggman,
you got yourself a deal.

Only one of us will battle you
at a time. Shake?

Ooh.

I was just thinking...

That hammer
of yours... Oh, forget it.

Just smash my teeth in.

No, tell me. What?

Well, it would be great
for my recycling project.

I take old cans and make
playthings for needy robot kids.

That hammer would be helpful
for flattening the cans.

You recycle?
And help needy kids?

Promise not to tell anyone.

I don't want my bad name
tarnished.

Well, as long as
it's for a good cause.

Oh, it is!

Victory, not unlike your hammer,
is mine!

Aargh!

Just for that, I'm gonna tell
everyone about your charity!

Shh! I'm picking up
some bizarre alien vibrations.

Astrosector Q vibrations?

Huh? Oh, yeah, sure. Those.
We're being watched.

I knew it!
Don't worry, I'm ready.

Agh!

[squeaky footsteps]

Careful. They're picking up the
frequency of your shoe squeaks.

Better take them off.

OK, I'll stay here
and keep an eye on things.

You go warn the others.

They laughed when I said

my shoes
were conspiring with aliens.

Who's paranoid now?

Don't answer that.

[Tails] You'll be fine, Tails.

Just look cool and
Eggman will totally back off.

Agh!

Ha! You think standing in a cool
pose is going to intimidate me?

Say hello to a little device

I call the MX-
Electroplasmatic Capsulator.

[grunts]

[sighs]

[whistles] Wow.

Plantanium casings,
hydroponic stabilisers...

This is a thing of beauty.

So what does this baby do?

It just restructures
the humidity molecules in the air

to synthesise
a hyper-magnetic force field.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, Professor!

And here's the best part.
It runs on brain power.

You just put on this helmet
and say something smart.

Complimenting someone
makes them lower their guard.

[beeping]

Exac... Wait. What?

Eggman , losers .

Oh, yeah? Well, guess what.

It's about to become
Eggman , losers .

Nice try, but we have
an agreement. One at a time.

And Tails is still
the designated hero.

Wait your turn, Nuffles.

- [bell rings]
- Well, that's my shift.

All right! Time
to do some clobbering. Huh...

Just like that?
Without a warm-up?

You want to pull a hammy?

Hmm... you're right.

I probably should stretch before
I pound your face into the dirt.

[grunts]

Don't forget jumping jacks.

And leg lifts.

Now sit-ups.

Twirl like a ballerina.

Bend this sheet of metal
into a paper aeroplane.

Now dig a hole.

All right, I'm warmed up.
Now, how do I get out of here?

Keep digging
till you reach the other side.

Well, you haven't
steered me wrong yet.

Oh, man,
when I get my hands on you!

Eggman , losers .

Man, you guys
got totally schooled.

By Eggman. Ha-ha! That's lame.

The guy's a lot trickier
one on one.

He's pretty smart. You forget
sometimes that he's a doctor.

Hey, Knuckles' shift isn't over
yet. Maybe he had better luck.

I've got you now, Eggman...
Oh, hey, guys.

[all groan]

Well, I guess that means
it's all up to old Sonic.

See you after my victory.

Hey, you guys will never believe
what I found in this hole.

- Dirt?
- Lucky guess.

[sighs]

[makes strange noises]

More tea, Mrs Rockbottom?

Don't mind if do, Mr Boulder.

[clears throat] Busy day?

Huh?
Oh, I sat here my whole shift.

Eggman never showed.
You know why?

He wasn't invited
to the tea party?

No. Cos he's
totally intimidated by me.

Whatever.
We're going to the beach.

Since you're so perfect, you can
stay on guard duty all day.

That's a good idea.
I could use a nap. [Laughs]

Cos I won't be fighting.

- [all groan]
- Not funny.

[snoring]

- [clears throat]
- Amy, I'm not in the mood.

Eggman?

The area of a circle
is pi times its radius squared.

[Sonic grunts]

Eggman , losers .

And this is especially delicious
because... da-da-da-da...

I did it by manipulating
your clueless friends.

Go, Eggman! Go, Eggman!

Who's a villain?
Who's a villain?

Well, well, well.
Look who got captured by Eggman.

Guys, can we postpone
the I-told-you-sos and ridicule

until after the rescue?

Oh, fine, but the ridicule
will be more severe.

- Duly noted.
- Eggman, you've had your fun.

Now let him go.

Hmm... let me think. No!

We have an iron-clad agreement
to fight only one on one.

Me first, got to wrap
my burrow in tin foil

before the thought police
show up.

- [bell]
- And there's the bell.

- Heh!
- Ha! You missed.

Oof! Grrr! Activate hammer!

[Sticks] Aargh!

Eggman regains the upper hand
by robotising Amy's hammer.

That's heads-up play
by the Moustachioed Marauder.

- Ohh!
- Let me take over your shift.

Incredible escape.

Surprisingly agile
for a middle-aged scientist.

You know, you sometimes forget
he's a doctor.

Amy, tag me in.

The hypotenuse is equal
to the square root

of the sum of the lengths
of the sides squared.

Brrr!

- Here you go.
- I got a better idea.

Quick, say the first thing
that comes to mind.

I think Eggman's moustache

is spaghetti
that grows out of his face.

- [beeping]
- Knuckles, tag me.

And down goes El Juevo Loco.

It's all over
for the Bald Behemoth.

One more word out of you two

and I'll take you apart
and put you back blindfolded.

Even when we could only
battle Eggman one at a time,

we managed to work together
as a team.

That's true, but I'm the one
who put Eggman in a cage.

Guys, you left me trapped
in this force field with Eggman.

Guys? Guys!

Well, we're here. Might as well
make the best of it.
