Quotes 

  • Sonic the Hedgehog : Face it, you're never going to get my power!

    [Sonic does his Spin Dash attack] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : [catches Sonic in midair]  Do I look like I need your power?

    [punches Sonic out cold] 

  • Knuckles the Echidna : [holding baseball bat]  Um... I don't understand. Why am I angry at the enemy ball?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : You're not angry, you just want to hit it as hard as you can and then run around the bases.

    Knuckles the Echidna : But if my quest ends where I am standing, why run at all?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : [puts his hand on face]  Uh, I can't with this guy. Why do I even try?

  • Sonic the Hedgehog : [both are on the beach after Knuckles saved him from drowning]  You saved me?

    Knuckles the Echidna : Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood

    [Sonic throws a sandball at him] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow!

    [Sonic throws another sandball at him] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Why did you save me?

    [Knuckles throws a giant sand ball at him which buries him completely] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : [making another sand ball]  Because you saved me first, which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : It wasn't a tactic. I couldn't just let you die.

    Knuckles the Echidna : Why? I've been trying to destroy you since the moment we met.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It's about taking responsibility for other people.

    Knuckles the Echidna : [sits down next to Sonic]  Hmm, wise words. An ancient Earth proverb?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : No, sir, that's a Wachowski family special. I got it from a guy in a rowboat, someone who means a lot to me.

    [hears a plane] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Wait a second, what's that sound?

    Miles "Tails" Prower : Only Sonic the Hedgehog needs rescuing this much.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : [laughs]  That sly little fox.

    [to Knuckles] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Come on, Knucklehead, we're not beat yet.

    Knuckles the Echidna : On the mountain, you told me you lost everything, the way I did. But you seem so hopeful and free, how did you move forward despite failing again and again and again and again and again and again--?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : OK, I didn't fail *that* much, but I didn't do this all alone I found a new family, new friends, and you can too.

    [offering his hand] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : You don't have to be alone anymore.

    [Knuckles accepts his hand, crushing it in the process] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Ow, ow, ow, ow, are you kidding me with that handshake?

  • Agent Stone : You brought some kind of... space porcupine?

    [Knuckles crushes Stone's hand in a handshake] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : I am an echidna warrior.

  • Sonic the Hedgehog : For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching.

    Knuckles the Echidna : You're no match for me. I've been training for this my entire life!

    Sonic the Hedgehog : And I have no training at all, yet here I am, ahead of you. That's got to be embarrassing.

  • Knuckles the Echidna : [about Robotnik's robots as he's clinging to the side of the cliff]  You think these machines are a match for me? I will shatter them like the bones of a fallen--!

    [sees that the robots have formed a staircase for him to ascend] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : Oh. They are stairs.

  • Knuckles the Echidna : You're unskilled, untrained, unworthy!

    Sonic the Hedgehog : You forgot one: Unstoppable!

  • Miles "Tails" Prower : [lifting Knuckles into the air]  You're really heavy!

    Knuckles the Echidna : That's because I am one million percent muscle. Faster, fox!

  • Knuckles the Echidna : [to Tails]  You were not able to harm me, and my retribution will come when you least expect it.

  • Knuckles the Echidna : [noticing Sonic's quill]  Where did you get that?

    Dr. Robotnik : From a little blue menace on the planet called Earth. I'd be happy to show you the way.

  • Maddie Wachowski : [Sonic has become Super Sonic they both run up to him]  Sonic!

    Tom Wachowski : Buddy.

    Knuckles the Echidna : Wait, you cannot touch him! The hedgehog holds the power of the Emerald. I am sorry, he's no longer the Sonic you once knew.

    Maddie Wachowski : What?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : [uses his power to summon deluxe chili dogs from the sky. eating a chilli dog]  Mmm, you gotta try this!

    [snaps his fingers another chili dog lands on Knuckles] 

    Knuckles the Echidna : [with two sausages and tomato sauce on his eyes; annoyed]  OK. He is exactly the Sonic you once knew.

    [a hot dog bun falls on Knuckles' face] 

  • Sonic the Hedgehog : Has anyone ever told you, you've got serious anger issues?

    Knuckles the Echidna : You mock me with your weak jokes, but you know nothing about me, Hedgehog.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Well, I know you echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life.

    Knuckles the Echidna : Ruining your life? Another bad joke! I lost everything because of you. My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory. The last of the owl warriors were located soon Longclaw's Emerald secrets would be ours, but my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe would come, but it was not this moment. Those were the last words he spoke to me. I never saw him again.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : We both lost everything that day.

  • Knuckles the Echidna : I've spent my whole life questing for this. Now I have it. Now we have it. What can we do with it? What next?

    Miles "Tails" Prower : There were once two orders of heroes who protected the galaxy from those who used the Emerald for evil.

    Knuckles the Echidna : But they've all passed on to the great battleground in the sky.

    Sonic the Hedgehog : So we start a new order. The three of us.

    Knuckles the Echidna : This is no light task. We must make a vow, to use our powers to keep the universe safe, to watch out for each other, our new tribe.

    Miles "Tails" Prower : Oh, I know! A power bump!

    [holds up his fist] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Good idea!

    [puts his fist against Tails' fist while Knuckles looks confused] 

    Miles "Tails" Prower : It's an Earth custom. An unbreakable promise.

    Knuckles the Echidna : Very well. A power bump it is.

    [Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles put their fists against each other in the center] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Power Bump!

  • Knuckles the Echidna : Disloyal.

    Dr. Robotnik : 'Dis... is how I roll!

  • Dr. Robotnik : You see... Earth... is my turf, G.

    [suddenly starts to floss] 

    Dr. Robotnik : If you don't know how to floss, you'll be lost without me!

    Knuckles the Echidna : [confused]  I understand nothing of what you just said.

  • Knuckles the Echidna : [about to crush Sonic with a boulder]  Say goodbye, hedgehog!

    [Sonic panics as he notices Robotnik getting his hands on the Master Emerald] 

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Knuckles, stop! Robotnik's stealing the Emerald!

    Knuckles the Echidna : What kind of fool do you take me for?

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Just look!

    [Knuckles does so] 

    Dr. Robotnik : Mine!

    Knuckles the Echidna : Wait! That wasn't the deal!

    Dr. Robotnik : [sarcastically]  Oh! You poor, naive creature. It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would've seen this move coming a mile away... or one point six kilometres.

    Knuckles the Echidna : But I trusted you! You were my friend!

    Dr. Robotnik : [laughs maniacally]  I'm sorry, that just hit me funny. Let this be my final lesson to you, you dimwitted celestial skin tag. Friends are open, honest and vulnerable with each other, which means X square times the hypotenuse of Y square divided by the absolute value of friendship equals... DOOKIE!

    Sonic the Hedgehog : [looks on with dread]  Oh, no!

    [Robotnik lays his hands on the Master Emerald, blasting Sonic and Knuckles away] 

    Dr. Robotnik : Chaos... is... POWER!

    [Robotnik disappears with the Master Emerald, causing the whole temple to cave in] 

  • Knuckles the Echidna : I suggest the groin!

    Sonic the Hedgehog : What? No, no!

    Knuckles the Echidna : Conditionally, yes! The groin is the weakest spot!

    Sonic the Hedgehog : Stop... saying... "groin"!

  • Knuckles the Echidna : Porcupine? I am an echidna. Trained since birth in all forms of lethal combat, destined to restore honour to my tribe, and willing to destroy anything that gets in my way.

    Agent Stone : Welcome to the team.
