02x06 - Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Worser

[bunniefuu]

Grr!

You can't escape Vacu-Bot.

He's gonna to get you
out of my hair once and for all!

What hair? Your head is bald
as an egg, Egghead.

Oh! Now I understand.

- (Burps)
- No!

Yeah!

Oh, victory, you taste so sweet!
Like candy! Evil candy.

The kind that has raisins
hidden in the chocolate,

and you don't know it, so you
think you've bitten into a fly.

Where was I going with this?

- Hmm.
- Ta-dah!

I never should've doubted you!

I never should've
gotten my hopes up.

Did you really think
you could capture Sonic

in that poorly designed tin can?

What would you know? You've
never tried to capture Sonic!

It's not as easy as it looks,
you know!

(Chuckle)

Well,
he was right about one thing.

Raisins are too much like flies
to be used in food?

OK, two things.

The other is that
it's impossible to catch me.

Actually,
he never said "impossible".

He said it's not easy...
for him.

You mean
you think you could catch me?

- Oh, I know I could catch you.
- Impossible.

You seem pretty confident.
What say we make it interesting?

The audience'll appreciate that.

The loser has to sing
a romantic song

at Meh Burger karaoke night.

- It's a bet.
- What kind of bet is that?

We're doing it
to brush away the cobwebs.

I have no idea
what that expression means,

but we're just doing it for fun.

- This is gonna end badly.
- Why do you say that?

Because, Sonic, you can get
a little... competitive.

- (Dismissive sound)
- No?

Remember when
you and Knuckles competed

to see who could put hats
on the most monkeys?

(Shrieking)

- (Chuckling)
- Ha, ha! Yeah.

I don't remember 'em causing
any real problems.

- And they looked so festive!
- This is just

a good-natured competition
between friends.

One of whom happens to be
a mechanical genius.

And the other is awesomely cool
and super fast.

- Which is which?
- Sonic is fast

- and Tails is smart.
- Right.

- Which one's Tails, again?
- May the best man win!

Oh, I intend to.

(Laughter)

Ha, ha!

Seriously?
That's the best you can do?

Try to get that chili dog!

If you don't take it seriously,
I don't see the point of -

Aaah!

Way too easy!

You sure you understand the bet?

You're supposed to catch me,
not you. C minus.

(Grunts)

Hmm.

Huh! Oh, Tails. I didn't
fall for that the first time.

(Contented sigh)

Huh?

Ha! I knew my hammock-slingshot-
pipe-cage-trap would work,

despite its terrible name.

- What the... ?
- (Slow clapping)

Better! You caught me off guard
for, like, a whole second!

The trap itself is kinda same-y,
though. C plus.

Grr!

Really? Slingshot hammock?
That's so first season.

If I may, sir,

although he's showing about
the same success rate as you,

he seems to be improving
much more rapidly.

That's 'cause he's had years
of watching my -

- Failures?
- Practice runs! Wait.

If that two-tailed goober did
catch that spike-headed goober,

I could play that
to my advantage.

- How boss?
- By stealing Sonic from Tails

once he's captured.

Though I don't like other people
doing my work for me.

You! Bring my satellite-tracking
system online.

And you! Get the Eggmobile.

Are you giving up
on our bet already?

Not a chance! But I promised
Zooey I'd stack these for her.

- Gimme a hand, would you?
- Sure, I...

I could help,

but what you really need
is some serious muscle.

- You mean me, right?
- Right.

Oh, no, that's OK.
I don't want to trouble you!

You might get a splinter!

- Piece of cake. Huh?
- (Sighs)

Looks like someone's on a roll.
Ha, ha!

Grr!

So then I says, "Looks like
someone's on a roll."

- (Laughs)
- Ugh! Really?

I'm clever that way.

(Gasps)

Looks like your traps are
getting "boulder!" like a rock.

You should set Amy free,
since you trapped her.

Grr!

That's it. No more holding back.

Not bad.
Beautiful craftsmanship.

(Music from Swan Lake)

What are you doing out here?

I was setting a trap,
but gave up.

I guess Eggman
was right about me.

Aw, don't feel bad.
You were just out-matched.

Yeah, well,
you might as well take the bait.

Never let a chili dog
go to waste!

Huh?

Betrayed by a chili dog.

Whoa!

No, no, can't swim,
can't swim, can't swim!

Gotcha! A play to your ego,
the old sympathy card,

a touch of misdirection

and a little help
from Mother Nature and... boom!

One Sonic caught!

Come on. Oh... Ah...

(Cackles) My plan was brilliant!

What plan?

Tricking you
into catching Sonic.

You did the work
and I got the rodent.

Well, we won't let you have him,
right, guys?

Guys? Oh, no!
In my maniacal zeal,

I left them all
in the failed traps!

(Evil laugh)

(Snoring)

Oh! Oh, I'm glad you woke me.
I was having that dream

where I show up at school
wearing pants.

Eggman has Sonic
and it's all my fault!

I told you
this would go too far!

I know and I'm sorry!
You can lecture me later!

But we've got to save Sonic
from Eggman!

I'll lecture you on the way.
k*ll two birds with one stone.

I got tired of waiting
for you guys. What's up?

Eggman! Sonic in Danger!
My fault!

This must be bad.
You have no time for verbs.

Let's go!

Whoa! Whoa!

I'm going to have to build
quite the freezer

to hold Sonic the Hedge-cicle!

I don't know how to ride
a Hedge-cycle.

Not "cycle" like bicycle.
"Cicle" like icicle.

There's also sickle,
like hammer and sickle.

Perhaps a less confusing moniker
is called for.

May I suggest Hedge-cube?
Like ice cube.

But that's more about shape
than it is about the cold.

I'll stick with Hedge-cicle.

This is your fault!

You took so long
criticising my name for Sonic

that his friends
had time to get here!

(Screams) Uh... Guys?

Your intentions were good,
but help!

Well, well. If it isn't
Sonic the Hedge-cube.

Do me a solid and throw me
at Egghead as hard as you can.

Argh!
I still get to claim victory!

I had you! You were trapped
for over a minute. I won!

Ha, ha! Yeah!

Whoa!

Sorry things got out of hand.

I guess I got
a little over-competitive.

Why didn't somebody warn me
that could happen?

- No hard feelings?
- No hard feelings.

(Clears throat)

Aren't you forgetting
you trapped all of us too?

I got a nifty hair accessory
out of it, but still!

I'm sorry I trapped all of you,
but it worked out, right?

I mean, I knew where you were,

which made rallying you
to save Sonic easier!

- We all have communicators.
- Can't we put this behind us?

Of course we can.

Oh, there's just one more thing.

♪ You're the girl of my dreams

♪ Please hold me tight

I'm beginning to think
that I lost that bet.

- Actually, you did.
- Don't tell Tails.
