Sonic Boom (2014) s01e29 Episode Script
The Curse of the Cross-Eyed Moose
Grrr! OK, here we are.
Two double Meh Burgers with extra pickles.
Boy, I love Meh Burger.
Something about their mediocre food makes my stomach rumble.
[rumbling.]
So that conveniently timed event wasn't you? Well, it wasn't only me.
We'd better find out what caused it.
- Want to throw me at its face? - More than anything.
- [Eggman.]
Cut! - Huh? Grrr! Gah! Ugh! I'm used to you ruining my plans, schemes, weapons, fortresses, confidence and robots, but now you've gone too far.
What, Egghead? That robot wasn't supposed to be destroyed in this scene.
Now I'm gonna have to rewrite the entire second act.
Orbot! Script! - Are you making a movie? - Not a movie, the movie.
And there may be a way to save the shot you ruined.
Would you like to play Sonic the Hedgehog in my film? - No way.
- He's an irritating character who constantly annoys me.
It's the role you were born to play.
Come on, Egghead.
This movie thing is a ruse to distract us from some evil plan.
No, it's a film.
Something totally new.
Not a drama, not a documentary, but somewhere in between.
Sort of like brunch.
Yeah, with rotten eggs on the menu.
Sorry, not interested.
You know, you could encourage me once in a while.
Do you have any idea what's going on outside? Judging by your outrage, I'd guess someone's having fun.
Eggman is making a movie.
I know, he wanted me to be in it.
I turned him down.
He found someone else to play you.
Duh maybe if I knock down enough robots, then chilli dogs will fly out.
[Eggman.]
Cut! Good.
But remember, you're Sonic the Hedgehog.
So make it louder and stupider.
Let's go again in three, two, one.
Duh! Duh! Duhh What's this? Sonic the Hedgehog causing trouble yet again? I'll make quick work of that menace.
- Cut! - Hey! Only I say cut.
This film is a joke.
You cast Dave the Intern as me? You turned down the part.
I knew you'd get it wrong.
Tell you what, if you agree to play you, I'll let you have creative input on your character.
[clears throat.]
My client will do it.
You'll need someone to look out for your best interests.
- I'll be your manager.
- Huh.
OK, I'm in.
Excellent.
Dave, you're demoted.
Back to catering.
I never stopped doing the catering.
Oh, no! My enchiladas! Ohh! Ohh! Lunch is gonna be late.
In this scene the giant robot chases you.
You run up that wall, jump off the top and do that annoying thing where you turn into a pointy ball and blow up my machine.
- Mm that sounds dangerous.
- [both.]
Yeah.
So? My client will definitely not be doing any stunts.
But he has to destroy the robot.
I want this to have universal appeal.
And one thing everyone can relate to is having their robots destroyed by a meddlesome hedgehog.
Then hire a stunt man.
If you need me to do my stunts, I also have a Knuckles costume.
Action! Stunt man in! And action! Cut! Great scene, Sonic.
I like the new ending.
Let's set up for the next shot, people.
[gasping.]
Cut! Stunt man! Action! Stunt man! Action! Ow! Hot.
Oww! Hot, hot, hot! Don't ad-lib! This footage is absolutely spectacular.
Isn't it, Yesbots? - Oh, yes.
- You've done it again.
Mmm.
Yo, Egghead.
I've been reading the rest of the script - And? - It's confusing.
You present yourself as an underdog and a powerful tyrant, which makes no sense.
I'm a very complex character.
- Absolutely.
- Couldn't agree more.
Who's gonna believe that an evil scientist can't defeat a hedgehog? Absolutely.
Correct.
Anyone else have something to say about my script? Eggman is the worst director I've ever worked with.
You've never worked with another director, so he's also the best director you've ever worked with.
I'm an actor.
I was being dramatic.
- But this script is a mess.
- Let me see.
Hmm.
If he just covers the origin of his moustache in a flashback instead of putting it at the beginning I didn't think of that.
This part where you battle Drillbot could be pretty cool, but it belongs at the end.
And he spends too much time on this musical number.
Hand me a pen.
Hey, Egghead, Tails and I saved your film.
What are you talking about? This is dreadful.
Sonic would never say that.
We do the script my way or I walk.
This film must be my vision, not yours.
Mine! Mine, mine, mine! If you know everything, Mr and Mrs Know Everything, then where's your camera, your robots? Neither one of you even has a beret.
I hate that hedgehog.
- Sonic? - I'm busy.
Please.
You've got to stop Dr Eggman.
From making a movie? The movie's all a ruse.
He's just pretending to film so he can use Drillbot to drill for Unacquireum under the set.
Why are you telling me this? Then he's going to use the Unacquireum to build an all-new robot army and throw out all the old ones.
Including us.
He's going to melt us down and use us for scrap.
My lifelong dream was to not be melted down and used for scrap.
So much for your scheme, Egghead.
[Eggman.]
Cut! Terrific! That's a wrap.
Terrific? I saw through your ruse and foiled your evil plan.
It wasn't a ruse, Sonic.
It was a double ruse.
Yeah.
That's approximately two ruses, give or take.
Quiet, you.
Thanks for appearing in the last scene of my film.
[laughs crazily.]
The old double ruse.
How did I not see that one coming? [applause and cheering.]
This film has success written all over it.
I think the question on everybody's mind is what will your next project be? The plan was always that this would be the first instalment of a quadrilogy.
Better than a trilogy because it's four instead of three.
What's that, 8 per cent? Ooh.
There's supporting actor Sonic the Hedgehog with his manager.
Ignore them.
This is my night.
[music.]
[excited chatter.]
Shh.
Now that I finally have a moustache, I can embark on my dream of world domination.
[all laugh.]
What? Stop laughing.
I order you to stop! I can finally fulfil my lifelong evil dream.
Building my own theme park.
[all laugh.]
Grrr! Why aren't they hypnotised? They're supposed to be hypnotised.
In your haste you forgot to install the Movie Mindslaver Device into the camera.
So much for my triple ruse.
OK, everybody out.
[all groan.]
[music.]
This really is quite good.
Ooh! Here's the scene where I watch my movie.
