Sonic Boom (2014) s01e06 Episode Script
Fortress of Squalitude
Grrr! Yeah! Who's gonna take it downtown? Knuckles, that's who.
Gonna pour Sonic a hurt tonic.
And the pain is gonna be chronic.
OK, we get it.
Tails.
You flip it.
I'm not sure I trust this guy.
Heads.
Lucky.
Don't give me that look.
One-nothing, Sonic.
Oh, come on! You saw the wind blew that, right? What? You gotta factor in bird migration.
That's Gopher Ball 101.
That's totally unfair.
Maybe you need to work on your swing.
You kidding me? This has nothing to do with my swing.
It has everything to do with luck.
Grrr! Grrrrr! Knuckles, I see you're upset, but-- Don't try to get me to talk about my feelings.
I was gonna try to get you to stop killing my grass.
Sonic the Luck Monkey beat me in Gopher Ball by getting lucky.
So you want to talk about your feelings? I don't.
I just wanna yell.
We all get into a slump now and then.
I'm not in a slump.
Really? How many times have you lost to Sonic this week? I said I don't want to talk about this.
Maybe there's a disturbance in the universe's luck balance.
That could happen? Stupid universe.
You need to burn through the rest of this losing streak by bringing yourself bad luck as fast as you can to speed up shifting the luck balance back the way it was before this happened.
Yeah, that's right.
You heard me.
Shift the universe's luck balance? Really? I am so there.
I can't believe I never thought of this before.
When the universe's luck balance shifts against you, get it all over with as quickly as possible to shift it back.
It's one of those things.
When you hear it you're like, "Duh! That's so obvious.
" Plus it plays to my strengths of taking horrible painful brutal punishment.
Agh! I can almost feel my luck changing already! Oh, man, Knuckles.
You OK? Am I OK? Are you OK, you mean? Or are you getting too nervous about the Gopher Ball beat-down headed your way? Give me a minute.
It's hard to trash-talk with a punctured lung.
Looks like you're not in much condition to play anything.
You only think I'm not in much condition to whatever you said.
But in fact I've finally tipped the universe's luck balance back in my favour.
Your lucky streak is over, Sonic.
Brace yourself, my friend, cos there's nothing but sunny skies ahead for this-- Even with a mind as powerful as mine, it's important to keep the reflexes honed.
You robots will be my opponents in this training exercise.
On your marks, get set Go! Ow! Ow! Someone's stepping on my moustache.
Wait, no one's stepping on your Ugh! If I didn't know better, I'd say there was a shift in the universe's luck balance.
Hmm Come on, meteors, take your best shot.
We've got to do something.
He's going to hurt himself.
What do you suggest? You could lose to him on purpose.
What else you got? I'll talk some sense into him.
Leave it to me.
Knucks, you're wasting your time with this luck stuff.
I've been beating you entirely due to skill.
-Luck! -Skill.
-Luck! -Skill.
Like the way I beat you in this argument.
You didn't win yet because I'm still saying the word "luck".
Luck! Can we discuss this somewhere else? Sonic and his friends always defeat me by the slimmest of margins.
But with the universe's luck balance shifted in my favour, there's never been a better time to attack.
So let us attack! This instant.
With everything we've got.
Bring the Mega.
Sticks, you gotta help us make Knuckles stop right away.
He's gonna get hurt.
Not if he shifts the universe's luck balance in time.
What if he doesn't? He'll probably be eaten by a carnivorous plant and slowly digested over a period of months.
And we agree that's not good, right? I can think of worse.
But I've got confidence in him.
Confidence in a guy who believes your crazy theory? Did you just call my theory crazy? Grrr! Knucks, I was hoping we could get you to stop this nonsense before an asteroid pulverises you into baby food.
Any suggestions? Admit that luck is the only reason you've been beating me all this time.
How about we have a rematch right now? Skill versus skill.
Go ahead, take your shot.
Don't you feel the ground rumbling? Nice try, Lucky.
OK, that was a little weird.
I'll give you that.
A little? Are you kidding me? Magnificent! The invasion is going swimmingly.
And me without my floaties on.
Note to self.
Need hipper diabolical banter.
What makes you think this stunt will go any better than the last dozen or so you've pulled? The universe's luck balance, that's what.
What? You believe that stuff too? Sorry I'm late.
What can I do to I'm unscathed! I'm a little shvitzy, but no matter.
It's also laundry day.
Today is my lucky day.
You guys OK? Wow, that was nuts.
I can't believe that.
We had him cornered.
What are you doing here? Helping.
You're not helping, you're just bad luck.
I have an idea.
Since you and your bad luck just hurt our side, why don't you just join Eggman and make it official? Fine! If that's how you're gonna be about it, I'm gonna work with someone who appreciates me.
Knuckles, come back.
Hold up.
Let's let this play out.
Attention, village.
Your panicked screaming and fear-addled hysteria have so charmed and delighted me these past few moments that I wish to extend my appreciation by debuting for you my most extravagant ode to destruction yet.
Behold the Mega! I call him that because he's 7% bigger than my other robots.
Eggman, I'm through with Sonic.
I'm joining your side.
Ah! A defector has come to join the winning team.
More good luck.
Pretty cool robot.
New? Yeah.
Nice, right? Safe to say my best ever.
Though it's basically a prototype.
Never really tested it in the field before but the designs looked really sound.
So I figured with this good luck I've been having But hey, now it's tested and I don't have to clean up the mess.
Good luck with that, suckers.
Wow.
My bad luck follows me wherever I go.
Or is it good luck? After all, our side won.
But I was on the other side.
No, you weren't.
I sent you on a secret mission for us.
It was so secret even I didn't know about it.
Yeah, you see, you switched sides and your bad luck overpowered Eggman's good luck, but you were really on our side, so by losing you won.
Wow.
Yeah.
You know what I've been wondering, though? Where crazy luck theories come from? When the bad luck leaves me, where does it go? Ugh! There's a perfectly good explanation for this.
