[Clock ticking]

[Alarm ringing]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[Fighting]

Hey, it's my turn to blow the whistle,

you chicken-livered bucket o' bolts!

No way, tin brain!

Dr. Robotnik loves me best, so it's always my turn!

[Cackles]

[Chuckles]

Not this time!

[Grunting & screaming]

[Train whistle blows]

Dere it goes, Big Mike.

Da Robotnik Express.

Yeah, when you said dat, Big Griz,

you said a mouthful.

Den chew on dis.

Since dat train's da poisonal property of

Dr. Robotnik, da rottenest creep on Mobius.

Dat makes it our patriotic duty to rob it?

Affirmative, Big Mike.

Let's rob 'n roll!

Yo! Big Griz!

[Whooshing]

You tink dos two blurs could be Sonic and his Li'l Buddy' Tails?

I couldn't tell ya, Big Mike, since I ain't never seen

neither one but if it is, the honor is entirely ours!

Look, Sonic!

We're catching up!

That's the secret of the speed, keed!

The Robotnik Express can run...

...but when it's carrying a load of Robotnik's superbombs

it can't hide!

[Grunting]

I got to pull the whistle, so it's only fair

that you shovel coal!

No, you do it!

You're younger, you're stronger!

[Alarm ringing]

-Sonic alarm! -Sonic alarm!

Batten the hatches.

Secure the couplings.

Lock up the throttle.

[Clucking]

[Scratch] Hey, you dumbot!

We were supposed to switch the train to the new track

before we did that!!

Now we're going down the old track!!!

So? What are you? A chicken?

We'll get there!

Besides, we got a hedgehog to catch!

[Screaming]

[Grunts]

Thanks, scratch. You saved my life.

Don't flatter yourself, you clunking klutz.

I was saving Dr. Robotnik's bombs.

You were just an ignorant bystander.

It's the hedge.

It's the hedgehog, all right!

[Scratch] Then let's turn this caboose loose

and cook his goose!

[Grunts]

Oh no!

We've been suckered!

By a super-sucking vacuum trap!

[Screaming]

-We've got Sonic! -We've got Sonic!

-We've got Sonic! -We've got Sonic!

-[Scratch] We've got Sonic! -[Grounder] We've got Sonic!

-[Scratch] We've got Sonic! -[Grounder] We've got Sonic!

-[Scratch] We've got Sonic! -[Grounder] We've got Sonic!

Do you suppose dat means da bad guys got Sonic?

What makes you tink dat?

Just a crazy hunch.

Well, no harm in checkin' it out.

[Grunts]

Back off, dimbot!

You really don't think this is enough to slow me down,

do ya?

Yeah, I do!

Eh, wrong answer!

[Gasps]

[Clucking]

Later, geeks! Gotta streak!

[Whooshing]

[expl*si*n]

Don't you worry, Sonic!

Don't sweat it, tails!

Yeah, we're here ta rescue yous!

What did you call us?

Uh, Sonic and tails.

Yous guys are our heroes!

Hey, wait a minute!

I'm not Sonic--

I am, he's tails.

Pleased ta maeetcha Sonic, tails!

I'm Big Griz

and I'm Big Mike, and together we're otherwise known as

the bears.

I told you, we're not--

Listen, you under-lubricated nincompoop,

if these guys think we're Sonic and tails they might be brave

enough to help us capture grounder and scratch!

No problem, Sonic.

Any enemy of Sonic's.

Is an enemy of--

-Da bears! -Da bears!

Especially dat scratch.

I never met him, but everyone says he is one dumb cluck!

Oh!

If you really want to help, just remember that scratch

is spiny and blue.

Huh?

Oh, and grounder has two tails!

And the two of them went thataway!

Then we're goin' thataway, too!

Cuz ain't no villain gonna get away from--

-Da bears. -Da bears.

I'm waiting, Tails.

Wow!

[Tails] What's Robotnik gonna do with so many bombs??!

Nothin'!

Cuz we're gonna bring this train to a screechin' halt and make

sure he doesn't get them!

[Straining]

It's locked. We can't budge it!

[Straining]

Uh, oh.

What are we gonna do now, Sonic?

Live fast, think fast, act fast!

So what are we gonna do?

Improvise!

[♪♪♪]

[Laughing]

Guys!

There's gonna be a runaway train comin' this way!!

Hmm.

That's not good but we'll be done fixing this bridge

in a year or so.

You got five minutes!

[Panicking]

Run for your lives, everyone!

-We're doomed! -We're doomed!

This is getting exciting!

[Sonic] Come on, Tails!

If we can change this switch, we can reroute the train

onto this dead end.

[Straining]

hmm, not our day for switches!

What's the dead tree for, Sonic?

Lend a tail and I'll fill you in.

The train will hit the tree and the tree will change the switch!

And then, when the train goes down that side track

and hits the cliff--

Robotnik's bombs are gonna go boom!

And he'll never get the chance to use them!

Come on, we gotta make sure those chipsforbrains robots

don't mess up our plans!

There, it's them!

Sonic and, I mean, grounder and scratch!

-After 'em! -After 'em!

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Clucking]

C'mon, guys!

We heard you were fast!

Shake a tread!

Fast?

Huh, I'll show you fast!

Don't let 'em get away!

[Grunting & cackling]

Now, Sonic?

Now!

[Groaning]

[Laughter]

[Spitting]

-Very. -Funny.

All right, Grounder! Da jig is up!

[Gasps]

Your evildoin' days is done!

This is workin' better than I thought!

Tickets! Tickets, please!

I, uh--

Seem ta have misplaced mine.

I'm sure I had it when we got on.

Sorry, gentlemen, no ticket, no ride!

[Sonic] Wait a mo!

What have we here?

Our tickets.

Way ta go! Uh oh.

Major problemo! We're on the westbound Express,

but your tickets are for the eastbound!

They are?

All aboard!

[Grunting]

Not to worry!

Your train's comin' along just about...

Huh?

Now!

Do any of yous feel like maybe we was tricked?

Hey, I'm sorry, gents, but I just goofed up big time!

See, I knew it!

We had tickets for the westbound Express,

after all!

You've got it, bro', but what that means is,

you'll have to get off this train, pronto!

[Screaming]

[Grounder] Oh no, I took a bath last month.

See ya, don't forget to write!

He's making me mad!

C'mon!

Let's go get our cars and get him!

[Robotnik] How despicably wonderful

and destructively marvellous it is that my plans are proceeding

with such predictable perfection!

And once my final shipment of bombs arrives.

It will be time to launch my antirebel ballistic missiles.

And blast every single rebel on Mobius out of existence!

Hmm.

The train is late!

I'd better give those transistorbrained morons a call.

[Phone ringing]

Pst, scratch!

It's the Robotnik hot line!

What'd you say?

Wat was dat?

My tummy rumbling?

Dat's da strangest tummy rumbling I ever heard.

Not really.

It always sounds like that when Tails eats onion rings!

Onion rings?

Of course!

How could I be so stupid!

Beats me!

[Burps]

For Grounder's sake, that better have been a wrong number.

Hey, Sonic!

Only one more tunnel, and then the train hits the switch!

-So long, suckers! -So long, suckers!

Where are they going?

I'll find out!

Back in a flash!

Make that half a flash!

Okay, bears!

It's time to take out those bad guys,

once and for all!

What are those slimebots up to this time?

One robot smashin' landslide is on da way!

Oh no!

If that avalanche blocks the tunnel...

[Train whistle blows]

...the Robotnik Express is most definitely gonna blow...

...and my little buddy Tails with it!

[Train whistle blows]

I've gotta save Tails!

-All right! -All right!

We did it!

Yous guys did bupkis!

And to tink yous call yourself 'Da bears'.

We are 'Da bears!'

then why don't you act like bears?

Dis little pile of pebbles ain't gonna stop dat train.

It's not?! What should we do?

You need to make a bearicade

So get dis stack a' kitty litter outta here and do it now!

[Train whistle blows]

Oh no!

I'm gonna crash!

What are you idiots doing?

Don't worry, Sonic! We got everything under control!

Whew!

[Yelping & clucking]

Hustle your treads, Tails!

We're gonna set up a genuine bearicade and bring

dis train to a crashing halt!

C'mon, Sonic!

Let's go, Tails!

No pain, no gain!

You heard him, Sonic!

No pain.

[Screaming]

No gain.

That's it, guys!

Second effort! Second effort!

We're tryin', coach!

We're tryin'!

Oh, no!

If the bears go through the cactuses,

they'll be pincushioned to death!

Oooh!

That hurts just thinking about it!

[Grunts]

One thrillin' rescue, comin' right up!

[♪♪♪]

So much for stopping the train before it hits the bridge.

Bridge, smidge!

We just wanna t*nk yous for savin' our hides!

Yeah, tanks!

You know, these guys aren't so bad they're just a little slow!

But dat don't mean we're not still turnin' ya over

ta Sonic and Tails!

What are you talkin' about?

We're Sonic and Tails!

Oh sure.

You tink we was born yesterday?

Either that or the day before.

Wait a minute.

How many Tails does the real Tails have?

Duh.

Two?

So you got a good disguise.

What about Sonic?

No offense, buddy, but no disguise is gonna make me tink

yous the fastest guy on Mobius!

Not even if I--

[♪♪♪]

Brought you something like this?

My own poisonal pot of honey?!

But only da real Sonic coulda gotten dis in no time flat!

Hey, I get it!

You really are Sonic!

My hero!

Den who were dos other guys?

Grounder and scratch.

Big Mike, I tink we was tricked.

[Big Mike] Yeah, what can we do ta redeem ourselves?

Help us save the buffalo village.

We'll do anyting ta help!

Well, for my new plan to work, I'll need one of your cars,

so gimme your keys..

And get outta my way!

Oh, Sonic! You're vulture meat!

[Skidding]

[Grunting]

Scratch, get over here!

We've got a hedgehog to catch!

Big Griz, Big Mike, jump!

I'll get 'em over the bridge, you get those goofbots

on the train.

To the bridge!

[Skidding]

Okay, everybody out, on the double!

We've got to work faaaast!!

Now dis is a plan worthy of--

-'Da bears'! -'Da bears'!

Hustle it, guys!

If we can't get this bridge repaired in time,

the train's gonna crash.

And, if it does, the whole buffalo village is gonna go up

with a bang!

[Fleering]

You can't catch me!

Why not?

You're slow, you're clumsy, you're stupid.

You're right! Let's get him anyway!

[Clucking]

But you run into walls real good!

Faster, guys!

We don't have much time!

Just hold still, you two-tailed pest!

Here's my stop!

Gotta fly!

Uh, oh!

No time to finish we've gotta improvise again!

Floor it, Big Mike!

And keep your claws crossed!

[Sonic] More gas, Mike! More gas!

It's the only way to save the village!

What was all that about, with Tails?

A trap?

Nah.

[Clucking]

It was a trap!

We're gonna crash!

Give it the gas, give it the gas!

Faster, faster!

Hold that car, hold that car!

[Screaming]

And the train is up.

And it's good!

[Cheering]

The village is safe!

Sonic saved our village!

[Cheering]

-We did it! -We did it!

Hey, we're still alive!

And we've still got all our bombs.

And we can still deliver 'em to Dr. Robotnik,

just like we're supposed to!

Just wait till I tell Dr. Robotnik

what a good job I did!

[Scratch] Gimme that phone!

[Phone rings]

Robotnik's emporium of devastation,

destruction & demolition!

Well, it's about time, you bumbling barrel of bolts!

The are antirebel expl*sive devices are ready to launch.

All they need is your final shipment of bombs!

Ah, there you are now!

Pull into the loading dock and everything will be just fine!

There's just one thing, Dr. Robotnik.

Yes?

Maybe you'd better tell him.

Me?

Uh, hi, Dr. Robotnik,

it was all Sonic's fault, sir, your wonderful badness,

because--

[Robotnik] Just get to the point!

We can't stop the train!

[Screaming]

[Explosions]

Gosh!

I can't imagine a more beautiful sight.

I can.

[Robotnik] I hate that hedgehog!

[expl*si*n]

[Cheering]

This is to so much fun, I can hardly bear to say goodbye

but we gotta.

Cuz a hero's work is never done, right Sonic?

Right!

And so, in the words of a famous highspeed,

freedom fighting, supersonic poet:

We're up, over and gone!

Hey, what a couple of regular guys.

Hiya, kid!

We're friends of Sonic.

He's been hurt and needs your help!

Sonic's been hurt?

Hold it!

You don't even know these guys.

It's not safe to get into a car with strangers.

[Whooshing]

Uh-oh!

[Tails] Scratch and Grounder?

I'm never gonna go anywhere with strangers!

You bet your life, little buddy.
