[as transcribed by MoKat {mokat01@lycos.com}]

(Opening scene: Knothole Village - huts)
SALLY: Ready, Bunnie?
BUNNIE: Ready as a junebug in May, darlin'.
BUNNIE: Whoa, Nellie!
SALLY: Bunnie, are you okay?
BUNNIE: How do I look?
SONIC: *laughs* Stuck in the ol' roof.
BUNNIE: That's just how I feel.
SONIC: Hang tight, Bunnie.
BUNNIE: Whoa!
SONIC: Was it something I said?
BUNNIE: These leg ladders will come in mighty handy next time I have to fix the elevator.
SALLY: If we can even get them to work right.
ROTOR: Power switch needs a little tweakin'.
BUNNIE: Oh my stars; that's not all that needs tweakin'.  *screams*
SONIC: Gotcha, Bunnie.
BUNNIE: Thanks, sugar-hog.
TAILS:  Bunnie!  Look out!
BUNNIE: Be careful where y'all are slap shootin' there, tails.
TAILS:  Sorry, Bunnie.
ROTOR: Hang on, Bunnie.  I'm bringing you down.
SALLY: How do they feel now?
BUNNIE: Smooth as glass.  Thanks Rotor, you little genius.
TAILS:  Sonic!  You guys wanna play dirt hockey?  I've been practicin'.
SONIC: Yeah, you really smoked that puck, big guy.
BUNNIE: Uh, oh; here we go again!
SONIC: Uh...sorry, Tails.  Maybe later.
TAILS:  They're always too busy.  I'm gonna find my own fun.
(*Tails takes the elevator up*)
TAILS:  Who needs dumb old adults anyway?
(*Tails knocks the puck into some bushes & searches for it*)
TAILS:  *gasps*  What's that?
(*Tails sees a baby terrapod chewing on the puck*)
TAILS:  Hey.  You're not supposed to eat it.  You're supposed to play dirt hockey with it.
TAILS:  You don't understand, do ya?  It's a hockey puck.  You're supposed to hit it with...a hockey stick.  *hits the puck*  Get it?
BABY T: *bleats*
TAILS:  *laughs* Cool!
TAILS:  Alright!

(sometime later)
TAILS:  Excuse me.  Guess I'm kinda hungry.
BABY T: Huh?
TAILS:  You know.  Eat.  Food.  *burps*  Are you hungry?
BABY T: *burps*
TAILS:  Ha-ha!  Good one!

(*Tails & Baby T ride the elevator down*)
TAILS:  Okay.  Coast is clear.  Shh...we gotta be real quiet.
BABY T: Shh...
(*They sneak into a hut*)
TAILS:  I'll make us a snack.  All right!  Here's some cookies.
TAILS:  Hey!  You ate it all!
BABY T: *burps*
TAILS:  No, Baby T; not supposed to eat everything.
BABY T: Aww... *sniffles while walking away*
TAILS:  Baby T, wait!  Where ya goin'?
(Outside the hut)
TAILS:  Baby T!

(Scene change: Bunnie, Rotor, Sally, & Sonic are near some apple trees)
BUNNIE: Boy, these ladder legs are great, Rotor.
ROTOR: That's easy for you to say.
*Sonic gathers the apples*
TAILS:  *approaches* Sonic, I have a problem.
SONIC: Big or little?
TAILS:  Big.
BUNNIE: My stars; what in the heck is that?
SALLY: It's a baby terrapod.  How did he get down here?
BABY T: *licks Sonic*
SALLY: *giggles* Aw, he is really cute, but we can't keep him.
TAILS:  How come?  He's my friend.
SALLY: Because his herd is migrating to Boulder Bay right now and he has to go with them.
SALLY: (at Baby T) Where's your mother, little guy?
BABY T: *bellows*
BUNNIE: Oh.  Good luck trying to figure that out.
SALLY: Wait a second.  I built a device years ago when I tried communicating with terrrapods, but never tested it.  Maybe now...
(*The ground shakes.  Roaring is heard in the distance*)
TAILS:  What's that, Sonic?
SONIC: Sounds like Baby T's family.
(*Baby T & the Freedom Fighters ride the elevator up.  Baby T gets out.*)
SALLY: I think he found his mom.
TAILS:  Baby T, wait!  Sonic!
SONIC: Comin' big guy!  *grabs Tails & runs up a tree*  You okay?
TAILS:  Nuh-uh.  Baby T was my friend.
SONIC: He wouldn't like livin' with us, big guy.  He'd miss his mom.
TAILS:  I miss my mom too.
SALLY: Oh my gosh!  They're going the wrong way!
SONIC: The wrong way?
SALLY: Yes.  They always migrate south through the Great Meadow and into Boulder Bay.  Something's really wrong.
SONIC: I'll head 'em off at the ol' pass.
SONIC: *speeds ahead* Hang a left, hang a left, hang a left...keep movin', keep movin'.
SONIC: Okay, I know you're supposed to juice but you're juicin' the wrong way!
SALLY: *approached Mama T* Easy girl.  Easy now.
SONIC: That communication device works, it'd be past cool, Sal.
SALLY: The terrapods are the only ones that can tell us why they're going the wrong way.
SALLY: *presses Nicole's buttons* Start language link search, Nicole.
NICOLE: Language link search in progress, Sally.
ROTOR: You really think they can talk?
SALLY: They're very intelligent.  Their sounds have a distinct language pattern.
SONIC: They sure seem freaked.  I wonder what scared them.

(Scene change: Robotnik's Command Center)
ROBOTNIK: These terrapod beasts are the final species to be roboticized, Snively.  When they're done, I will control every living thing on this planet.
SNIVELY: Except for the Freedom Fighters, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: I am aware of that, Snively.  You don't have to remind me!  Now, what of the terrapods?
SNIVELY: Well, Sir, a Stealth Bot spotted the herd, but lost them.
ROBOTNIK: Lost them?
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: Beasts of burden do not hide, Snively.  They, not unlike yourself, have no intelligence.
SNIVELY: Well I beg your pardon, Sir, but reports say they do.
ROBOTNIK: I don't care about their brains!  I want their brawn!  Prepare my hovercraft.

(Scene change: near the Great Jungle)
MAMA T: *roars*
SALLY: Sonic, they want to go through the Great Jungle.
SONIC: No way.  It's uncharted.
TERRAPODS: *roar & stomp*
SALLY: Oh!  This is making me crazy!  What do they know that we don't?
SONIC: I know.  *points skyward*
SALLY: What?
(*3 Stealth Bots are flying toward the herd*)
SALLY: Robotnik.
SONIC: Come on.  Juice time.

(Scene change: aboard Robotnik's hovercraft)
*the terrapods can be seen on a monitor*
SNIVELY: Sir, the terrapods disappeared into the Great Jungle with the Freedom fighters.
ROBOTNIK: Oooh, I -like- that, Snively.  Now we can get all of them.
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir, but the Great Jungle is still uncharted and we've lost a number of Recon Bots in there and...
ROBOTNIK: (interrupts) Make sure we lose no more.
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir.

(Scene change: terrapod herd is in the Great Jungle)
SALLY: (to Mama T) Do you know a special way, girl?
MAMA T: *roars*
TAILS:  Wow.  Look at those plants.
*Baby T drags Tails away from the sparkly plants*
TAILS:  Aah!  What's wrong?  I just wanted to look.
SONIC: Something wrong with those plants, Mama T?
(*Mama T scoots a rock into the plants.  The rock dissolves*)
SONIC: Wow!  That is one bad plant!  It eats rocks!
ROTOR: I've gotta check this out.  
(*The plants melt Rotor's screwdriver*)
SALLY: That is really amazing.
SONIC: Think what we could do to ol' Robuttnik with a couple of these metal-eating babies.  We just have to figure out how to get it - ack!  Whoa!
(*A vine has wrapped itself around Sonic*)
SONIC: What's with the ol' vine?
SALLY: Sonic!
SONIC: Get me outta here!
BUNNIE: Oh my stars!  What the heck are we gonna do?
SALLY: That dead tree...come on!
ROTOR: Come on, push.  Push!
BUNNIE: This is one stubborn tree!
TAILS:  Uh-oh.  This doesn’t look good, Baby T.
BABY T: Nuh-uh.
TAILS:  Baby T, get your mom.  She can help push the tree.  Understand?
SONIC: Juice time!
(*Sonic uses the tree to reach solid ground*)
SONIC: Mucho thanks, Mama T.  I owe you.  *Kisses Mama T*
MAMA T: *roars*

(Scene change: aboard Robotnik's hovercraft)
SNIVELY: The cages are ready, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: Very good, Snively.  Let's get this done.
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: I just need one beast for now, Snively.  Pick the largest to experiment on.
SNIVELY: Very good, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: Stealth Bots, activate heat seeking radar.

(Scene change: back in the Great Jungle)
MAMA T: *growls*
SONIC: Man, she can hear all kinds of stuff we can't.
SALLY: Yes, their senses are highly evolved.
MAMA T: *roars*
SONIC: What's she sayin'?
SALLY: I don't know, but something sure has upset her.
*Sally adjusts something on the communicator collar*
SALLY: Come on; try again, girl.
SALLY: *gets Nicole* Come on, Nicole; help me out here.
NICOLE: Trying Delphi language sequence...
MAMA T: Danger.
ROTOR: Danger?  What kind of danger?
MAMA T: *roars*
SALLY: That sounds like Stealth Bots!
SONIC: I'll check it out.  *Dashes up a tree*  Mama T is on the money.
SONIC: Stealth Bots, looking for trouble.
SONIC: Whoa!  That was bad(?) Mama T!  Okay guys, mount up.  The TPs are ready to juice.
ROBOTNIK: You can run, but you can't hide, hedgehog.
SONIC: Let's juice!
SONIC: Why can't we loose these guys?
ROTOR: They're probably usin' heat scanners.
(*A cage drops on Mama T, capturing her*)
TAILS:  Sonic, Sonic!  You gotta save Mama T!
SONIC: M-Mama T?
ROTOR: Robotnik has her in that cage!
SONIC: I'll get her in a Sonic second.  Hedgehog on the job...
SONIC: *lands on the cage* Hang in, Mama T!
TAILS:  Don't worry, Baby T.  Sonic's the coolest.  He'll save your mom.
ROBOTNIK: What are you waiting for, Snively?  Get the hedgehog!
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir!
SONIC: Whoa!
BUNNIE: Hold on, sugar-hog!
BUNNIE: Are you all right?
SONIC: Yeah.  Can you open this thing up?
BUNNIE: Course I can.  No problem.
SONIC: Cool.  Now hang tight.  We'll be juicin' in reverse.
BUNNIE: Make it quick, sugar-hog.  We got company.
SONIC: Goin' down.
BUNNIE: *screams*
ROTOR: Run for it, Bunnie!
(*The cage stops a few feet above the ground, right over Bunnie who has ducked to avoid it*)
BUNNIE: Oh my.  Little help here, Rotor!
ROTOR: Coming, Bunnie!
BUNNIE: My leg is stuck again!
ROTOR: There you go.
SNIVELY: Should I use another cage, Sir?
ROBOTNIK: Negative.  Let them sweat awhile.  There is no way for them to get through that force field.  Even the hedgehog is trapped.
ROBOTNIK: Oooooh...I just tingle all over.  [Um, yeah; thanks for sharing that with us, Robuttnik -.-]
BUNNIE: We're sittin' ducks down here.  We gotta do somethin'.
ROTOR: What?  There's no way through the force field.
SONIC: Where there's a will, there's a hedgehog, Rote.  But I gotta question.  Once I bust it, how long will it stay open?
SALLY: Ah...it's just a guess, but I'd say no more than 10 seconds.
SONIC: Okay.  Have everybody ready.
ROBOTNIK: Do those fools actually think they can break through my force field? *chuckles* Oh, this should be most entertaining.
SONIC: Juice time!
ROBOTNIK: That hedgehog! *grunts* *angry scream*

(Scene change: FFs & the terrapods reach a river)
SONIC: Come on, Sal.  We gotta keep juicin'.
SALLY: No, Sonic.  We don't know the Great Jungle; Mama T does.  We need her help.  *adjusts the collar*  Come on, Nicole; lock in.
MAMA T: S-cor...scortch.
SALLY: That's it.  We're getting there, Nicole.
MAMA T: Sonic.  Good idea.  Scortch plants eat metal machines.
SONIC: Yes!  Good call, Mama T.  All we need is a big patch of those plants.
MAMA T: Across...river.

(Transition shot to Stealth Bots)
SONIC: Yo!  Lookin' for me, metal breath?  Follow the leader.
SONIC: Hey, Robuttnik!  You couldn't catch me if I was standing still.
ROBOTNIK: You're wrong, hedgehog!  This time there is no place to hide.
SONIC: Ha!  Coulda fooled me.
SONIC: That's it, Stealth Bots; keep comin'.  Keep comin'.
SONIC: Whoa!  Scortch city!
ROBOTNIK: He's in the open.  Take him now!
SNIVELY: Sir, we can't send the bots into those trees.
ROBOTNIK: Those puny trees cannot stop my Stealth Bots.  Get the hedgehog!
SONIC: Crank-up time!
ROBOTNIK: Snively, pull up.  Pull up!
(*Robotnik's hovercraft sails up through the trees*)
ROBOTNIK: We've lost them!  Nothing!  They're gone.

(Scene change: back to FFs and terrapods in the Great Jungle)
SONIC: I was thinking, Sal.  If we could get some of those scortch plants back to Knothole, we could put a serious dent in Robotnik's metal-heads.
SALLY: Already done.
SONIC: No way.
SALLY: Yes, done.
SONIC: Come on; there's no way to move them.
SALLY: Sure there is.
SONIC: How?
SALLY: The seeds are harmless.  I'm gonna plant them.  Past cool, huh?
SONIC: Way past.
SALLY: Really?
SONIC: Well, maybe not -way- past, but past.
SALLY: Oh?
SONIC: Yeah.  I'm way past; you're just past.
SALLY: Uh-huh.  Right.  (sarcastic)  We're really lucky you thought of these seeds.
SONIC: Hey, when you're cool, you're cool.  And I'm cool.
*Rotor suppresses his laughter*

(Sometime later...)
MAMA T: Look.  Home.
SALLY: It's Boulder Bay.  She knew where she was going all along.
SONIC: Past cool.  Ol' 'buttnik will never find you here, Mama T.
TAILS:  You're my bestest friend, Baby T.
BABY T: Aww...
SALLY: This might help you say goodbye, Tails.  *puts the collar on Baby T*
TAILS:  I don't wanna say goodbye.  Please come back with us, Baby T.  We could play dirt hockey and stuff.
BABY T: Stay with Mama T.  You come with us.
TAILS:  I can't, Baby T.  The Freedom Fighters need me.  Bye, Baby T.  Be cool.
BABY T: Yeah, way past cool.  Gotta juice it loose.
SALLY: Oh my gosh; all that work and he sounds just like you.
SONIC:  *laughs* Yeah.  Gimmie five, Baby T.
