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

(Opening scene: the Great Forest)
SONIC: Whoa!  What's up, guys?
TAILS: We have a surprise for you, Sonic.
SONIC: Cool!  I love surprises.
BUNNIE: That's good cuz this one's gonna put you right up on cloud nine, sugar-hog.
SONIC: Are we there yet?  I hate going this slow.  Boring!
BUNNIE: Almost there, sugar.
TAILS: We're here, Sonic.
SONIC: So what's the big surprise?
ALL (except Sonic): Ta-da!
SONIC: Oh.  Where did that come from?
ROTOR: We built it from scratch.
TAILS: Sonic, isn't it past cool?
ANTOINE: Yes, yes; way past cruel.
SALLY: We call it the Freedom Stormer.
SONIC: Huh?  It's...really great.
SALLY: We're flying it to Mogga to look for the Secret Scrolls.
SONIC: What's a "Mogga"?
SALLY: It's an ancient city hidden deep in the Great Mountains.
SONIC: So, um, what's a secret scroll?
SALLY: My father told me the scrolls had great powers, but that no one has been able to find them.
SONIC: Sure.  That's why they're called "secret" scrolls.
SALLY: Well, I think we can find them.
SONIC: And you're gonna fly there in that air jalopy?
SALLY: You can only see Mogga from the air...and it's not a jalopy.
SALLY: Nicole, boot up the map of Mogga.
NICOLE: Accessing, Sally...
SALLY: This is Mogga.  I really researched this and found these markers.  They'll lead us straight to the temple where the scrolls are.
SONIC: Plan won't fly, Sal.
SALLY: Yes, it will.
SONIC: No way.
SALLY: It will!
SONIC: Won't.
SALLY: Will!
SONIC: Won't!
SALLY: Stop that, and give me one good reason.
SONIC: Because you'll be a sitting duck for the Stealth Bombers.
SALLY: We can fly at night.
SONIC: Robotnik's radar will pick you up in a Sonic second.
SALLY: We can fly low, under the radar.
SONIC: I don't like it.  I'm not going.  And I don't think you should go either.
SALLY: Sonic, we can use the scrolls' power against Robotnik.  We are going.  With or without you.
SONIC: (frustrated) Okay, okay.  I'll go.  But I'm using the ol' ground transportation.  I'll follow you.
(scene change: night)
ROTOR: Right rudder.
SALLY: Check.
ROTOR: Left rudder.
SALLY: Check.
BUNNIE: Antoine, tell me the truth; are you all afraid of flying?
ANTOINE: Moi?  (lies unconvincingly) Uh, I am a-scared of abso-toot-ly not one thing.
ROTOR: Turn us loose, Sonic!
SONIC: Roger.  Good luck!
ANTOINE: Magnifique!  I love to fly so much like the birds and the bees.  *screams*
SALLY: Rotor, what's wrong?
ROTOR: Throttle's locked up!  Gimmie a hand!
SALLY: Come on, Rotor!  Pull!  Pull!
SALLY: Yes!
SONIC: Too close for the old comfort.  Juice it loose time.
(some time later)
ANTOINE: Um, how far to Mogga now, my Princess?
SALLY: Mogga should be over this next mountain, Antoine.  Oh, my...
ANTOINE: Magnifique...
SALLY: Oh; it's even more incredible than legend describes.
BUNNIE: Woo-wee!  Just look at that ground go rushing up to meet us.  Looks like we're...
ANTOINE: (interrupting) Bunnie!  Will you please to be shutting up your own face?!
ROTOR: Oh, man!  We'll never stop this crate in time!
ANTOINE:  *screams*
Sally & Rotor:  Antoine, shut up!
ROTOR: Hey, we're slowing down.
ROTOR: Aw, man.  Too close.
SALLY: I thought...oh, never mind what I thought.
BUNNIE: Can Bunnie open her eyes now?
SALLY: Yep.  It's okay.  We're safe.
BUNNIE: *whew* My, oh my.  Look at all that solid ground, Antoine.  (*pause*) Antoine?
SONIC: Everyone cool?
BUNNIE: Antoine, you all look a little on the greenish side.
SONIC: For Ant, that's normal.
ANTOINE: I 'ave never feeling more fine in my entire day!
SONIC: Well?
SALLY: Well, what?
SONIC: Aren't you going to thank me?
SALLY: For what?
SONIC: For saving ya.
SALLY: Sonic, we were in the plane.  If we had gone off the cliff, we would be flying.
SONIC: Hmm.  Good point.  But where would ya land?
SALLY: Oh.  Good point.  Thank you, Sonic.
SONIC: For what?
SALLY: (exasperated) Oh...
(scene change: at Mogga)
BUNNIE: That is truly amazin'.
SONIC: Yo, Sal.  What's that?
SALLY: The Arrow Stone.  It marks the entrance to the ancient city.
ANTOINE: W-w-what is that sound?
SONIC: I dunno, Ant.  Maybe it's a...MONSTER!
ANTOINE: *screams*
BUNNIE: What's it say, Sally-girl?
SALLY: I don't know.  It's the ancient language of Mobius.
SALLY: Nicole, can you translate?
NICOLE: Translation...We do not see things as they are.  We see things as WE are.
ANTOINE: Hmm.  Well, I am shoeless.
SONIC: You mean "clueless", Ant.
SONIC: Let's do it, Sal.
SALLY: Okay.  first we have to get through that hedge.
SONIC: That hedge?  No prob.
SALLY: Careful, Sonic!  Moggan legends say the city is booby-trapped!
SONIC: Me?  Trip a trap?  I don't think so!  Spin to win time!
*Bunnie & Sally gasp*
ANTOINE: What is this now?
SALLY: That's incredible.
SONIC: How'd it do that?
ANTOINE: This place is giving me some creepies.
(scene shift: inside Mogga)
BUNNIE: I bet the temple is on the other side of that wall.
SALLY: I think you're right, Bunnie.  It is.
ROTOR: Cool.  But how do we get over?
SONIC: What's next, Sal?
SALLY: Well, we have to find the first marker, the Chair.
SALLY: Strange.  That sound is always right on schedule.  It sounds every 2.10 minutes.
ROTOR: We gotta find shelter!
SONIC: Behind that pillar!  Grab on!
SONIC: Hang tight!
SONIC: Yo, guys!  Where did everybody go?!
SALLY: Here we are, Sonic.
SONIC: Where?  I can't see ya.
SONIC: Man, that is too weird.  That shadow makes you invisible.
ANTOINE: I am still not liking this place too much.
SALLY: Come on.  We have a lot to do.
(scene change: at a wall with an inscription)
SALLY: Nicole, translate.
NICOLE: Translation...What one cannot achieve in learning, one will achieve in the light of day.
SONIC: This stuff boggles the hedgehog mind.
SALLY: It will become clear eventually.  I hope.
(scene change: Freedom Fighters are walking around the city)
NICOLE: According to Mogga's history, each marker represents a test based on the ancient degrees of awareness--intelligence, spirit, and courage--in which only the worthy can succeed.
BUNNIE: That's 3 degrees, but there's only 2 markers, right?
SALLY: Right.  It does boggle the mind.
ANTOINE: I am so tired, I could pop.  
*Antoine flops down in front of a pillar*
ROTOR: Sally, what are we looking for?
SALLY: Something called the Chair.
ANTOINE: The bed sound too much nicer.
SONIC: What kind of chair?
SALLY: I don't know.
SONIC: Yep.  Definitely a chair.
SONIC: *Ssssst* Yeow! You are sizzlin', hedgehog!
NICOLE: What one cannot achieve in learning, one will achieve in the light of day.
SALLY: Just like the inscription.  Good work, Sonic.
SONIC: So now what, Sal?
SALLY: I think...we sit.
BUNNIE: Oh mah stars!  This must be the place!
SALLY: It is.  Come on!
(Inside the temple)
ROTOR: Sal, why are there 2 scrolls?
SALLY: One is a fake.  If we approach the wrong platform, the temple will explode.
ANTOINE: Explode?!  *incoherent mumbling* Oh, no, no, no, no...
SONIC: Man, they sure don't make this easy.
SALLY: Somewhere, there is an answer...
BUNNIE: Hey, what about all those hieroglyphics Nicole's been translating?
SALLY: Yes...Yes!  The Arrow Stone.  We each see things differently.  That's it!
ROTOR: It-it is?
SALLY: Yes.  We overcame the first obstacle, the Chair, with our intelligence.
SONIC: Thank you, thank you...
BUNNIE: Then this is the second degree of awareness -- spirit.
SONIC: Yo, that's us -- the Freedom Fighters.
ROTOR: Yeah, we're survivors!
ALL: That's it!
SALLY: Only one way to find out...
SALLY: I can do this...
ANTOINE: I cannot see this...
SONIC: Sal?
BUNNIE: What's it say, Sally-girl?
SALLY: Nicole, translate.
NICOLE: Accessing...The Secret Scrolls of Mogga contained herein are the 7 wonders of Mobius.  Powerful, natural wonders, but dangerous if misused. *pauses*
SONIC: Nicole, we're waiting.
NICOLE: The first wonder is the wind tunnel, called "the Breath of Mobius".
ROTOR: Blowhole.  That's where the big wind came from.
SONIC: That's cool.  what's next?
SALLY: Courage.
SONIC: Say what?
SALLY: There are 3 degrees of awareness.  The last test is courage. *gasps*
ROBOTNIK: Surprise!
ROBOTNIK: Give me the scrolls, Princess.
SONIC: That ain't gonna happen, Robuttnik.  Snooze, ya loose.
ROBOTNIK: As usual, you are making a serious mistake, hedgehog.
SONIC: Gimmie a second, Robuttnik.
SONIC: (whispering) Sal, when I juice, you guys run for it.
SALLY: Be careful, Sonic.
ROBOTNIK: I'm waiting, hedgehog.
SONIC: Hey!  That's my line!  Listen, I'd like to hang with you 'botheads, but I gotta juice.
ROBOTNIK: Get him!  Find that hedgehog!
SONIC: You called?
ROBOTNIK: Well, rodent, this time it's just you and me.
SONIC: (sarcastically) I know I'm thrilled.
ROBOTNIK: Adieu, hedgehog...
ROBOTNIK: Stand still you miserable hedgehog!
SONIC: *yawns* I aim to please.  How's this?
ROBOTNIK: Perfect.
SONIC: Give it up, Robuttnik.
ROBOTNIK: Snively, launch the Stealth Orb.
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir.
(in a passageway)
ANTOINE: There is something too scary about this place.
SALLY: Relax.  It's just the Breath of Mobius.
BUNNIE: That's the first time we've heard the wind in the temple.
ROTOR: You're right, Bunnie.  Maybe we're close to finding a way out.
SALLY: Come on.  We'll follow the sound.
*Antoine screams at a spider & stumbles through a secret door*
SALLY: Are you okay, Antoine?
ANTOINE: Uh, oui.  Yes, of course.  I am half past cool.
BUNNIE: Hey, you found the way out, Antoine.
ANTOINE: Eh, b-but natural-???.  I am always knowing what I am doing.
SALLY: Come on.
(back to Sonic)
SONIC: Look over there!  Yes!
SONIC: No way!
ROBOTNIK: Ahh...the hedgehog cannot escape, Snively.
SNIVELY: No, Sir.
SONIC: Yo, Sal!  You in here?  Sal?  Where are...
SALLY: (interrupts) Here we are, Sonic.
SONIC: Robuttnik's got some mega-orb tracking me.  I can't shake it
SALLY: I have an idea.  Nicole, boot up the Breath of Mobius diagram.
NICOLE: Accessing, Sally...
SALLY: The Breath of Mobius runs along this side of the ruins.  Now the winds blow at a speed of 175 miles per hour...
SONIC: Yeah!  That wind is a major blower.  Glad I thought of it.
SALLY: The alcove is connected to the wind tunnel.  You can hide there, but you'll get hit by the winds.
SONIC: Moi?  That ain't gonna happen.  The hedgehog can outrun any wind.
SONIC: Listen up, Ro-butt-ski!  The ol' evil eye here is pretty cool, but it will never catch the hedgehog!
SALLY: Less than 2 minutes before the Breath of Mobius...
(at the blowhole)
SONIC: You're really slippin' evil eye.  Let's see a little slash 'n' dash; a little rip 'n' zip.
SONIC: Juice time!
ROBOTNIK: Where is the hedgehog, Snively?
SNIVELY: He-he seems to have disappeared, Sir.
ROBOTNIK: There he is!  Now we have him.
(Robotnik & his SWATbots surround the hole)
ROBOTNIK: Look around, hedgehog.  You're trapped.  Do come out and spare us all this drama, won't you?
SONIC: I'm in here Robuttnik!  Come and get me!
ROBOTNIK: Send in the Stealth Orb.
ROBOTNIK: Show yourself, pincushion!  I'm tired of your monotonous games.
SONIC: Ten seconds to showtime.
SALLY: Eight seconds...
SONIC: Come on, Robuttnik!  What are you trying to do; bore me out of here?
ROBOTNIK: Snively, what is that sound?
SNIVELY: I don't know, Sir.
SONIC: Root 'n' scoot time!
SALLY: Sonic!
SALLY: Are you okay, Sonic?
SONIC: Yeah, but Robotnik isn't.  He's history.
BUNNIE: Robotnik dead?  I just can't believe it.
SONIC: Believe it...
(scene change: back at the Freedom Stormer)
SONIC: You have the scrolls, Sal?
SALLY: Right here.  Are you coming with us?
SONIC: On one condition.
SALLY: I'm afraid to ask.
SONIC: Don't be afraid.
SALLY: Okay, okay.  What is the condition?
SONIC: I get to fly the plane.
ANTOINE: *screams*
(in the Freedom Stormer, which Sonic is flying)
SONIC: Too cool!
ANTOINE: This is to be the end of my handsome self as I know it.
SALLY:I liked it better when Sonic traveled by sneakers.
(on a cliff)
ROBOTNIK: The hedgehog will pay dearly for this, Snively.  Mark my words.
