[NOTE: Sir Charles Hedgehog/Uncle Chuck will be noted as "CHUCK" in this transcript]

Opening Scene: A factory in Robotropolis.  Uncle Chuck is working while a SWATbot patrols the area; he sneaks off to the control room after seeing the Brainbots leave.  Snivley, escorted by 2 more SAWTbots, walks through the factory.  Snively doesn't seem to see Chuck, but he eyes the control room suspiciously.

SNIVELY: Hmm...?

Camera goes to Chuck in the control room.  He views Top Secret information (it even says "Top Secret" on one of the screens) and makes a copy of it on a disk.  Chuck manages to hide the disk in his chest before Snively enters the room.

SNIVELY: You there!  What are you doing in here?
CHUCK: Circuit breaker tripped, Sir.  Reset.
*Chuck leaves the room.*
SNIVELY: Hmm...
(Scene change: Sonic is riding on something while holding a chilidog)
SONIC:  Be cool, stomach, here it comes.
*Sonic eats the chilidog, then ditches his ride*
SONIC:  Time to blow this chili stand.*grunts as he lands* Thanks for the ride, bud.  Gotta run.

(Camera switches to Uncle Chuck, who is in his hideout and looking through the periscope.  Sonic dashes into the scene.)
CHUCK: Sonic!  Oh, this is a nice surprise.
SONIC:  Double nice, Unc.  Moi -and- a chilidog.
CHUCK:  *gasps* Why thank you, Sonic. *takes the chilidog and eats it*
CHUCK:  *burps* Delicious!
{o.O; Robots can eat and burp?!?}
SONIC:  Cool.  Anything up with the fuel tankers?
CHUCK:  Yes.  I just got the schematics.  *gives the disk to Sonic*
SONIC:  Way past, Unc!  Sal's been waitin' for this.  Any word on the schedule?
CHUCK:  Not yet.  It might take a while.  Snively almost caught me today.
SONIC:  Ya gotta bail, Unc.  Come back to Knothole.
CHUCK:  No way, Sonic.  My job here is still vital.
SONIC:  Yeah, but it's gettin' mondo nasty.
CHUCK:   It's the chance we have to take.  *looks through the periscope*
CHUCK:   It's clear.  Better get that disk to Sally.  I'll let you know when I get the tanker schedule.
*they hug*
SONIC:  Be careful, Unc.
CHUCK:  I will.
*Sonic leaves & the hideout door closes*

(Scene Change: Doomsday Project worksite.  Camera zooms in, then switches to an interior shot.)
ROBOTNIK:  ...and all Doomsday engines will be ready for testing by midday tomorrow.  Are you on schedule with the fuel tankers?
SNIVELY  (via video communication): A tad ahead, Sir.
ROBOTNIK:  How much of a "tad", Snively?
SNIVELY:  Um, three minutes, Sir.
(Camera pans right to reveal a "bug" spying on the conversation, then shifts to Uncle Chuck who seems to be listening.)
ROBOTNIK (through the bug) :Three whole minutes.  Well.
ROBOTNIK (sarcastically): Whatever would I do without you?  
ROBOTNIK:  When does the fuel depart?
SNIVELY:  Dawn tomorrow, Sir.
CHUCK: Huh?
ROBOTNIK:  Excellent!

(Scene change: Knothole Village)
SALLY:  So, once we're attached, we inject water into the pipes marked "fuel test".  Any questions?
ANTOINE: Oui, oui.  I am having zee question.  *ahem* You are being so too beautiful today, my Princess.
BUNNIE:  That's not even a question, Antoine.
SONIC:  Oh get a grip, Ant.
*A messenger dragonfly/bird thing buzzes and makes a "coo" noise as it zips through the open window...and buzzes Ant head*
ANTOINE: *screams* My hair!
SALLY:  Come here, little dove.
*Dragonfly/bird lands on Sally's arm.  Sally takes the message & the thing flies away*
SONIC:  What's up, Sal?
SALLY:  This is it, guys.  The tanker convoy leaves at dawn...tomorrow.

(Scene Change: Robotropolis, presumably around dawn.  Sonic distracts the convoy.)
SWATBOT: Hedgehog alert!  All units, do not fire.  Apprehend.
SONIC:  What?  There a problem here?  Been a gas!  Later, SWAT-butts!!
SWATBOT: Hedgehog, priority one.
SWATBOT: Hedgehog, priority one.

(Camera switches to show a manhole cover being moved aside.  Bunnie, Sally, and Antoine climb out of the manhole.)
BUNNIE:  Boy, this Magno-vest sure makes me feel -attractive-.
{Exposition and bad pun, all in one line :D}
ANTOINE: Ouchy-vou!
SALLY:  Antoine, quiet.
*A wire on Sally's magnetic vest comes loose; she gasps as the vest's magnetic fields goes out & she grabs one of the tanker's rails in a effort to keep from falling off completely*
ANTOINE: My Princess!  
*Ant grabs her by the vest, thus keeping the SWATbots from seeing her*
SALLY:  Hold on, Antoine.  *reconnects the wire*  Got it.
SALLY:   *whew*  Thanks, Antoine.
ANTOINE: Oh, I would gladly to sacrifice my life for you my Princess.

(Scene change: Robotnik's Command Center.  Snively rushes in to the sound of an alarm.  He sees that Sonic is being chased by SWATbots.)
SNIVELY:  Oh, dear!  That miserable little hedgehog!  
*Snively presses a button.  Robotnik appears on the monitor.*
ROBOTNIK:  What is it, Snively?
SNIVELY:  The hedgehog, Sir.  Units are in pursuit.
ROBOTNIK:  What about the convoy?
SNIVELY:  Transmitting, Sir.
(Camera switches to Robotnik, who stands up abruptly.)
ROBOTNIK:  Snively, where are the other guards?
SNIVELY:  Pursuing the hedgehog, Sir.
ROBOTNIK:  You fool!  It's a diversion!  Recall the guards and stop that convoy! 

(Camera switches to the SWATbots chasing Sonic.)
SNIVELY:  Hold your fire!  Return to stations!
SONIC:  Hey!  What's up?  Am I the priority hedgehog or what?  *gasps* Sal.
*Sonic pulls a Power ring out of his backpack and dashes into a manhole*

(Camera switches to the Freedom Fighters on the tanker.)
BUNNIE:  Comin' up on our bolt-hole, Sally-girl.
SALLY:   Just one more, Bunnie.
*SWATbot sirens can be heard*
SALLY:  Uh, oh...
ANTOINE:  We are doom-med!  Oh!  Oh, no!  I am too very young and handsome...
BUNNIE:  Button it, Antoine!
ANTOINE:  We are giving up!
BUNNIE:  We're not givin' up without a fight, Antoine!  Get used to it!
SALLY:  Sonic!
*a very forceful gust of air blows back the 'bots as Sonic blasts up through a nearby manhole*
SONIC:  Gust and bust time, guys!
BUNNIE:  Good ol' sugar-hog!
*The SWATbots surround the manhole, unable to follow*

(Scene Change: Robotnik, at the Doomsday Project worksite)
ROBOTNIK:  Four times in four weeks!  How do they do it, Snively?!  It's as though they know my every move.
SNIVELY:  Well, Sir...*is cut off*
ROBOTNIK:  We have a spy.  Hmm...
[End of Act 1]

(Act 2 Opening Scene: Antoine is standing near the Power Ring pool.)
SONIC: D'oh, man.
ANTOINE:  Oh, but wait there's more.  Yes!  SWATbots to the left, SWATbots to the right, but am I having zee fear?  *laughs*  No, and no again as I am snatching my Princess from the draws of death.
{Yes, he said "draws" there instead of "jaws".  Typical Ant mangling words yet again ;)}
SONIC: Yeah, right.  Dream on, Ant.
ANTOINE (annoyed):You are not believing my story?
SONIC: No way.  Ha!
*Sally walks into the shot*
SALLY:  Oh, Antoine.
ANTOINE: Bonjour, my Princess.
SALLY:  Antoine, you were very brave today.
ANTOINE: (aside to Sonic) Yes, I know.
ANTOINE: And por vous my Princess, I would move...how you say...zee molehills.  *kisses Sal's hand...repeatedly*
SONIC (softly): Whoa...
*Sonic makes gagging/hurling noises (along with motions) as Sally laughs.
SALLY:  Well, I just wanted to thank you for rescuing me.  *kisses Ant*
ANTOINE: *gasps* Se magnifique!  I think I will croon.  *falls forward*
{Ugh!  "swoon" not "croon", Ant -.-}
SONIC: I think I will hurl.

(Scene change: Robotropolis, Robotnik's command Center.  Snively is humming while playing with Robotnik's chair.)
*approaching footsteps can be heard*
ROBOTNIK:  Snively!
SNIVELY:  Oh, Sir!  I-I was just...
*Robotnik interrupts by putting his hand over Snively's mouth*
ROBOTNIK:  Shut up, Snively!
*Robotnik slaps a device over Sniv's mouth*
ROBOTNIK:  -Now- you may speak.
SNIVELY:  Thank you, Sir.
ROBOTNIK:  Snively!  We have a spy in out midst.  Make an electronic sweep of headquarters immediately.
SNIVELY:  Yes, Sir.  *leaves the room*
*Robotnik picks up a metallic part*
ROBOTNIK:  When I find that spy...*growls and crushes the part he was holding*

(Scene change: Knothole Village, Rotor's Workshop.  Camera opens with an exterior shot)
BUNNIE:  Rotor, how much longer do we have to wait?
ROTOR: Almost ready.
(Camera switches to an interior shot.  We see Sally & Bunnie sitting; there is a sheet blocking the area where Rotor is presumably setting up something.)
ROTOR: That'll do it.  Ready girls?
BUNNIE: Sugar, we've been ready for a month of Sundays.
*The sheet drops to reveal one of Robotnik' ships*
ROTOR: This is it.
BUNNIE: Oh mah stars!
SALLY:  Rotor, where did you get that?
ROTOR: In the Great Swamp.  I modified the engines so it really moves.  And I got another surprise...
SALLY:  Rotor, you finished it!  *examines the metal bird* Does it work?
ROTOR: *shakes his head* Haven't tested it yet.  I thought maybe you could help.  Oh, got something else here you'll like.
*Holds up a boxy device*
BUNNIE: Huh?
SALLY:  Isn't that one of Robotnik's security transponders?
ROTOR: Right.  Which means...
SALLY:  ...we can go -anywhere-!

(Scene change: Robotropolis, Robotnik's Command Center.)
SNIVELY:  We've found something, Sir.
ROBOTNIK:  Ahhhhh.  I was right.
SNIVELY: Shall I destroy it, Sir?
ROBOTNIK:  No, Snively!  That's why you're the lackey.
SNIVELY: I don't understand, Sir.
ROBOTNIK:  I know.  You see, the bug will malfunction and the spy will come to replace it.  And when he does...*clenches his fist and growls*

(Scene change: Doomsday Project worksite.)
BUNNIE: Here we go. Sally-girl.  The transponder's gettin' a signal.
SALLY:  Come on; come on.
SALLY:  We're in!
*The ship, with Bunnie & Sally inside, moves forward*
BUNNIE: Oh mah Heavens to Bunnie.  Will you at that ugly old thing? *points*
{I assume that the first sentence is a play on "Heavens to Betsy", thus making it her (customized) equivalent of a "Holy crap".}
SALLY:  Only Robotnik could create something that horrible.

(Scene change: Robotropolis)
*A Brainbot is monitoring the area*
(Camera switches to Sonic & Uncle Chuck inside Chuck's hideout.)
SONIC:  What's up with these headphones, Unc?
CHUCK: Bug malfunction.  We'll have to replace it.
SONIC: Cool.  I was itchin' for some action.  Where to?
CHUCK: Robotnik's warehouse.  I like the idea of using one of his own bugs to spy on him.
*they leave*

(Scene change: back at the Doomsday Project worksite.)
SALLY:  That's it.
*The ship extends some sort of connector to something that's supposed to be an access port*
SALLY:  Nicole, download plans.
NICOLE:  Downloading, Sally.
*A bunch of crap is shown on a screen; the last thing is a full view of the Doomsday Project.*
SALLY:  Okay, we got the plans.
BUNNIE: Let's get the hoo-hah outta here.  This place gives me the heebie-jeebies.
{In other words,  she thinks the place is -really- creepy ;) }
SALLY:  In a second.  *pushes a button*
SALLY:  Interesting.  These are Robotnik's daily opperations files.  
SALLY:  Nicole, can you break the code on the one marked "Top Secret"?
NICOLE:  Transcribing...
SALLY:  *gasps* Oh my gosh!  
BUNNIE: Huh?
SALLY:  He's on to Uncle Chuck's bug!

(Scene change: Rotor's Workshop.)
ROTOR: Antoine!
ANTOINE: No, no, no, no.  There is more.  
{The two lines above started almost simultaneously.}
ANTOINE: So, when I am seeing my Princess in terrible dangers, I leaped to the rescue...
ANTOINE: Eh?  *screams as the metal bird buzzes him*  Oh my!
ROTOR: Hmm...  Robotnik's on to Uncle Chuck!  We gotta warn him!
ANTOINE: No, no, no.  I, Antoine the most bravest, most handsom-est and most charming-est, will warn Uncle Shuck.
*Ant leaves the Workshop & hops onto Dulcy's back*
ANTOINE:  Onwards and sideways, Dulcy.
DULCY:  Onwards and -sideways-?
ANTOINE:  Oui, oui.  Zat is what I am saying.  *yelps as Dulcy jumps up & flies away*
*Off-screen, Dulcy giggles*
*Antoine yelps again*

(Scene change: Robotropolis, Uncle Chuck's hideout, sometime later.)
DULCY (off-screen):  Come on, come on; Antoine.  What are you doing in there?
*The secret door opens; Ant runs out, then trips right in front of the dragon*
DULCY (while helping Antoine get up): Is Chuckie there?
ANTOINE: *pants* No.  He has flown to zee cuckoo.  Dulcy, you must go to zee junk piles.  -I- will find Uncle Chunk.
DULCY:  -You- will?
ANTOINE: You are doubtings my uncredible cour-age?
{Notice those underlined letters?  Those aren't typos; Rob actually said those lines that way.}
DULCY: Of course.
ANTOINE: Ha!  I say to you.  And ha again!
*Dulcy giggles as Ant walks out of the shot.*

(Scene change: Robotropolis, Robotnik's Warehouse.)
SONIC:  Hi!
SWATBOT: Priority one hedgehog!
SONIC:  Bye!
SWATBOT: Hedgehog alert!  Hedgehog alert!  
*Chuck removes the grating from a vent & climbs in while the SWATbot is away chasing Sonic*
*Antoine shows up a second later*
ANTOINE (while standing in front of the vent): What I am doing?  I could be captivated.  No.  No!  I must go or my Princess will think I am a yellow jellied coward.
*Ant climbs in, but quickly climbs back out*
ANTOINE: N-no; I am not wanting to be caught-ed.  Perhaps *gulps* torture-ed.  Even hurt-ed.
*sees/hears Hoverunits approaching*
ANTOINE: Oh my.
*Ant jumps into the vent, pulling the grating back on behind him.*

(Scene shift: inside the warehouse vent, presumably sometime later.  Antoine hears Snively humming & peers through a nearby vent grating.  Uncle Chuck sees him and tries to get Ant's attention without making a lot of noise.)
CHUCK (softly): Antoine...
*Ant screams, falls through the granting, and lands next to Snively.*
SNIVELY:  Well, well.  The stupid spy has come in from the cold.
ANTOINE: *whimpers* Son-ic...
[End of Act 2]

(Act 3 Opening Scene: Snively is examining some data files.)
SNIVELY: Trained as a squire from the Don  Mon(?) Pravonce.  Hmm.  This "Antoine" must have some weakness.
{Was this part editted or cut?  I thought Sniv said Ant's full name at the beginning of that line in the original airing...}
SNIVELY: Hmm.  *gasps*  Of course.  Perfect.  Now I will break him like an egg.  *rubs his hands together while laughing evilly*

(Scene change: Still inside the warehouse.  Antoine is strapped down in a torture chair.  A bright light is shining on him from above.)
ANTOINE: *shrieks* Alright, alright; I must keep my controls, huh?  Yes.  Oui. I must be too brave.  Yes, too cool.  Steels of nerves.  
ANTOINE (sweating): I must be out of my mind.  
*We hear Snively laughing wickedly; Antoine shreiks.*
*Antoine screams as Snively hums a dirge while walking into the shot*
*Snively laughs while heating a pan, them continues humming*
ANTOINE: Um, why you are humming that sinster dirge? *shrieks*
SNIVELY: Now...I will make some crepe Suzettes.
ANTOINE: Ah!  You fuel!  You are using too much of zee butter!  No, no, no, no.  Crepe Suzettes are thin and delicate-ed.
SNIVELY:  I know. *chuckles evily while pouring batter into the pan*
ANTOINE (screams while crying): No!
(Camera switches to Uncle Chuck, who is watching all of this from inside the vent.  Sonic comes into the shot.)
SONIC:  What's up, Unc?
CHUCK: Big problem.  Antoine's been captured.
ANTOINE (heard softly in the background while Chuck was talking): Please!  Not the creme brulee!
SONIC: Nah. That's no problem.
CHUCK: Yes it is.  He'll talk.
ANTOINE (heard in the background): Oh, Please!
SONIC: Huh?
ANTOINE (heard in the background): Please to be stopping this terrible things!
SONIC: Oh, man.

(Camera switches back to Antoine & Snively)
SNIVELY:  Are you going to talk?
ANTOINE (arguing with himself):Yes!  No! Yes!  No!  I cannot be dissapointing to my Princess.  
ANTOINE: No!  I will never talk!
SNIVELY: Then I must make...escargot!  *shows off a bucket full of snails*
ANTOINE: But escargot are too special, you fiend.  Zey must be prepare-ed just right, you maniac!
SNIVELY:  Yes, yes; of course.  We start with plump, juicy snails.
ANTOINE: Oui.
SNIVELY:  A little garlic.
ANTOINE: *sniffs the garlic & sighs* Oui again.
SNIVELY: And...
ANTOINE: ...butter? Oui, oui.  Oh yes, oui.  Butter!
SNIVELY:  Margarine!!  *laughs wickedly*
ANTOINE:  Margarine!?  Margarine!?  You would cook escargot with margarine!?  Oh, but no!  It will be to cru-el you fu-el! I... Okay I give!  Uncle!  Uncle!  I will tell you everything!
SONIC (off-screen): Shut up, Ant!
(Camera switches to Sonic, who is on the ceiling; he presses a button on his anti-gravity shoes, thus allowing him to drop to the floor.  Sonic lands between Ant & Sniv.)
SONIC: Yo, Snerdly.
SNIVELY:  *gasps*  The hedgehog!  Security!
ANTOINE: The escargot! You must stop him!
SWATBOT: Priority one hedgehog, surrender!
SNIVELY (heard while the SWATbot was talking): Get him!  Get him!  There he is!
ANTOINE: No, no!  No, Sonic!  Go back!  He's using margarine!
*Sonic reaches Chuck's hideout & drops ant.*
ANTOINE: Do you not understand, you stupid?  Escargot must not be...
*Sonic cuts Ant off by putting his hand over his mouth*
CHUCK: I see they found his weakness.
SONIC: One of them.  
SONIC: I'll take him to the junk heap.  Meet ya back here.
ANTOINE (heard faintly as Sonic drags him out of the shot): Too cruel, little snails...
*Uncle Chuck chuckles as he walks into his hideout*
(Camera switches to the Brainbot.  It zooms in on Chuck's hideout, as if tracing a signal.)
*Hoverunits break into Chuck's hideout*
SWATBOT: Surrender!

(Scene change: Robotropolis, the junk heap.  The ship that Rotor had modified lands. Dulcy peeks out and sees Bunnie hop out.)
DULCY:  Oh,  Bunnie!
*Ant's incoherent mumbling can be heard as Sonic drags him along (and into the shot) while Sally exits the ship*
SALLY:  What happened?
SONIC:  Tell ya later.  I gotta get back to Uncle Chuck.  
SONIC:  Dulce, take Antoine back to Knothole.
ANTOINE: No.  No!  I am...agh!
*Dulcy snatched Ant and put him in her pouch*
ANTOINE: Please, he is animal.  You do not know what he does to the escargot!
*Dulcy shoves his head into her pouch, thus shutting him up*
DULCY (scolding): Ah, ah; no talking during take-off, Tony.
SONIC:  Later!
*Dulcy flies away*
SALLY:  We intercepted Robotnik's message about the bug.  Is Uncle Chuck okay?
SONIC: So far, but I want him outta there.  Gotta juice!  *leaves*

(Scene change: Robotropolis.  Robotnik is giving Snively a tongue-lashing via a hologram.)
ROBOTNIK:  Snively, you will pay for this.
SNIVELY:  But-but Sir, I captured...
ROBOTNIK  (interrupting): I'll have your miserable...*sees what the SWATbots dragged in* 
ROBOTNIK:  Sir Charles?  
SNIVELY: Yes, Sir.  The -real- spy.
CHUCK: It won't do you any good, Robotnik.  I'll never talk!
ROBOTNIK:  Oh, but you will, Sir Charles.  All I have to do is plug you in.

(Scene change: Uncle Chuck's hideout, which is still smoking from the SWATbots' attack)
SONIC:  Oh, no!  
*Sonic gasps, then turns toward the Command Center*
SONIC:  No way!

(Scene change: back inside Robotnik's Command Center.  Chuck is strapped down & connected to some sort of machine.  Robotnik is there, gloating.)
ROBOTNIK:  So, my old friend...
CHUCK: I am -no- friend...scum.
ROBOTNIK:  You call me scum?  Perhaps you need an attitude adjustment.  
*Robotnik presses a button.  The device projects a red ring above Chuck's head; the ring moves down.*
CHUCK (in robotic voice): Robotnik is supreme ruler.  
ROBOTNIK:  Better.
CHUCK (in robotic voice): Supreme ruler.  Supreme ruler...
ROBOTNIK:  Much better:
*the red ring moves up*

(Camera switches back to Sonic, who pulls a Power Ring out of his backpack.)
SONIC:  Jam and ram time!
*Sonic runs up the building , then goes into a Sonic Spin*
(Camera goes back to Robotnik.)
ROBOTNIK: Now, Sir Charles, where is Knothole?
CHUCK:  *grumbles* 
ROBOTNIK: Sir Charles?  *flips a few switches*
(The red ring drops over Chuck; camera switches to reveal sonic breaking into the room.)
CHUCK (in robotic voice): Knothole...is located...
*Sonic rips his uncle out of the device; Chuck smiles.*
ROBOTNIK: Get that hedgehog!
*SWATbots surround the hedghogs.  Sonic uses a spin move to blow them away.  Robotnik escapes by lowering his chair through the floor.*
CHUCK:  Thanks, Sonic.  Now let's get out of here.
SONIC: Taxi's waiting, Unc.
SNIVELY (shouting): I hate you!  I hate you both!

(Scene change: Robotropolis, Chuck's new hideout.)
SONIC: Uncle Chuck, ya gotta come back to Knothole.  Your cover's blown.
CHUCK:  I anticipated that possibility.  Welcome to my new home.  *opens the door*
BUNNIE: Huh?
CHUCK:  Needs a little redecorating.
SONIC: Cool, Unc, but Robotnik knows your face.
CHUCK: Yes, I know.  Excuse me for a moment.
*Chuck walks through a door, which closes behind him.*
BUNNIE: He's subborner than a ten-legged mule.
SONIC: No way is he stayin' here.
SALLY:  We have to make him understand that
 *A Brainbot rolls out of the same door Chuck just used.*
BRAINBOT (which sounds suspiciously familiar): Intruders.  Priority one, hedgehog.
*The Brainbot laughs, then it's head flips up*
CHUCK: You should have seen your faces.
BUNNIE: Sugar-Chuck, you scared a years' growth off me.
SONIC: Gotta hand it to ya, Unc; you nailed us big time.  But I -still- want you back in Knothole.
SALLY:  There's plenty for you to do there.
CHUCK: When Robotnik is defeated, we'll be together.  Until then, I stay here.
CHUCK: Now take those long faces back to Knothole.  I have work to do.
*Sally & Bunnie hug Chuck*
BUNNIE: Buh-bye, Sugar-Chuck.
CHUCK: Bye, girls.
SALLY: Be careful, Uncle Chuck.
*Sonic hugs his uncle*
SONIC: Be cool, Unc.
CHUCK: See ya soon, Sonic.
*Sonic dashes outside*
CHUCK: Take care of him for me.
SALLY:  We will, Uncle Chuck.  We will.
*Bunnie waves*
(Camera switches to an exterior view.  We see that Sonic is waiting as the girls walk outside.)
*Chuck waves as they leave in the ship*
