17. Hooray!
And you're welcome.Copy !req
18. And then, Knuckles, Tails,

19. and roommates!Copy !req
20. Now, with all the hero stuff

35. No, no, no, no, no!
I could see why it
might look like that,Copy !req
36. but one of our kids

37. Your kid did this?Copy !req
38. He's a... really big kid.Copy !req
39. With a huge imagination!
Thinks he's a warrior.Copy !req
40. Always training, questing.Copy !req
41. As well as stalking,

57. Oh, boy. Poor guys.Copy !req
58. That's the fourth crew

59. But, I have to say,Copy !req
60. Knuckles is
in incredible shape.Copy !req
61. Do you think he's more cardio
or weight focused?Copy !req
62. It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.Copy !req
63. He looks fantastic.Copy !req
64. Do you think the house
is ever gonna get fixed?Copy !req
65. The living room is getting
pretty cold at nightCopy !req
66. with that giant hole
in the wall.Copy !req
67. Boys.Copy !req
68. We need to talk about
our little red barbarian friend.Copy !req
69. I could use some backup.Copy !req
70. Knuckles is just having
a little troubleCopy !req
71. adjusting to his new home.
It wasn't easy for meCopy !req
72. to understand this planet
at first, either.Copy !req
73. When did you start
getting so wise?Copy !req
74. I read a lot
of cereal boxes.Copy !req
75. Also, I had a family
that was patient enoughCopy !req
76. to let me figure things out,Copy !req
77. so we have to do
the same with Knuckles.Copy !req
78. Let me talk to him
when the time is right.Copy !req
79. Alright, Sonic.Copy !req
80. But, in the meantime,
do you mind asking himCopy !req
81. - to get our dog off the roof?Copy !req
82. Concentrate, Wolf.Copy !req
83. An attack can come from
anywhere at any time.Copy !req
84. - You must have steely focus.Copy !req

Yeah.Copy !req
92. - Good boy!Copy !req
93. Hey, big guy.
Mind if I join ya?Copy !req
94. Man, this place
is beautiful, huh?Copy !req
95. - No.
- What? Really?Copy !req
96. You don't think Green Hills
is a beautiful place to live?Copy !req
97. - No.
- Not even a little?Copy !req
98. - No.

101. - No.
- Okay, fine!Copy !req
102. We'll circle back
to this later.Copy !req
103. It's time we had a talk.Copy !req
104. You know,
hedgehog to echidna.Copy !req
105. Listen, moving to a new world
was tough for me at first, too.Copy !req
106. But trust me.
This planet is special.Copy !req
107. It's your home now.Copy !req
108. An Echidna warrior
has no home.Copy !req
109. I only remain on Earth
because I made a vow to youCopy !req
110. and the fox.
One I intend to keep.Copy !req
111. Hey, I respect that.
But we won.Copy !req
112. Robotnik's gone, and there's
no new battle to fight.Copy !req
113. No new quests
to embark on.Copy !req
114. Which means,
for the first time,Copy !req
115. you can take a break
from being a warrior.Copy !req
116. And Earth is the perfect place
to do that.Copy !req
117. So, relax.
Get comfortable.Copy !req
118. - Make yourself at home here.
- Hm...Copy !req
119. Perhaps you are right, hedgehog.Copy !req
120. Allow me to meditate
on your words of wisdom.Copy !req
121. Perfect.Copy !req
122. My work here is done.
I'm gonna do...Copy !req

133. Is that an Iron Throne
at our breakfast table?Copy !req
134. Good morning!Copy !req
135. - What is that?Copy !req
136. It is merely the seat
that designates my roleCopy !req
137. as family champion.
If you wish to claim it,Copy !req
138. you must simply defeat meCopy !req
139. in a ritual battle
of trial by combat.Copy !req
140. What do you mean,
"trial by combat"?Copy !req
141. Come, fox.
I will show you.Copy !req
142. I heeded the hedgehog's adviceCopy !req
143. - and made myself at home!
- [♪ dramatic crescendo]Copy !req

145. It's very, um, Conan chic.Copy !req
146. Nope!
This is not happening.Copy !req
147. We are not turning
our living roomCopy !req
148. into some kind of
gladiator fighting pit.Copy !req
149. Warrior fighting pit.Copy !req
150. - Whatever! And wh-what
is Ozzy doing here?Copy !req
151. Ozzy has bravely volunteered
for the first matchCopy !req
152. by challenging
his greatest enemy.Copy !req
153. Enemy? What enemy?Copy !req
154. - [♪ epic music playing]Copy !req
155. - [♪ epic crescendo]Copy !req
156. Is that our mailman?Copy !req

159. I am so sorry.Copy !req
160. That's it!
Get down right now.Copy !req
161. You are grounded!Copy !req
162. I have no idea
what that means.Copy !req
163. Well, I definitely do.Copy !req
164. It means
no battling enemies.Copy !req
165. No leaving
your room on quests.Copy !req
166. And most of all,
no warrior-ing.Copy !req
167. How dare you.Copy !req
168. In the name of
Great Chief Pachacamac,Copy !req

- Uh!Copy !req
172. Knuckles, word of advice.Copy !req
173. Do not mess with MaddieCopy !req
174. when she's this mad.Copy !req
175. Very well, Pretzel Woman.Copy !req
176. I will accept my grounding...

177. Great. I'm gonna
be late for work.Copy !req
178. Uh, Maddie?Copy !req

an excellent bowler.Copy !req
195. But, more importantly,
you are a good person.Copy !req
196. You help old ladies
cross the street.Copy !req
197. You leave positive reviews
at restaurants,Copy !req
198. even when the service
is just meh.Copy !req
199. You are pretty,

I will be a—
- A warrior?Copy !req
256. Yeah, a warrior.Copy !req
257. I don't think so, Wade.Copy !req

are not a warrior.Copy !req

- Oh, no, no. Come on, Jack.Copy !req

they're renting a stretch HummerCopy !req

to the tourney in style.
- Hi.Copy !req
274. That sounds
very fun and cool.Copy !req
