1. Grr!
Copy !req
2. "Habeas Corpus."
Copy !req
3. "Due process."
Copy !req
4. Oops.
Copy !req
5. "Authorization to clean desk."
Copy !req
6. Ready for
the fishing trip, old bean?
Copy !req
7. No, no, no.
Too much approving to do.
Copy !req
8. The town bylaws
won't stamp themselves.
Copy !req
9. "Self-Stamping Prohibition Act."
Copy !req
10. See? If only there was
someone to cover for me.
Copy !req
11. I say, if only there was someone
to cover for me...
Copy !req
12. So we can get the story started!
Copy !req
13. This is an outrage, a travesty,
a plukey plok!
Copy !req
14. - "A plukey plok"?
- I made that last one up.
Copy !req
15. Rule of threes, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
16. Anyway, I'd like
this important law passed.
Copy !req
17. "Henceforth,
peanut butter and pickles
Copy !req
18. shall ne'er be packaged
in separate containers
Copy !req
19. as they inevitably
wind up in the same sandwich."
Copy !req
20. I can help you with this,
Copy !req
21. but in exchange,
I'll need something from you.
Copy !req
22. Are you prepared to do
your civic duty?
Copy !req
23. You said "civic."
Copy !req
24. Yes. Citizen Knuckles,
I need you to stamp these laws
Copy !req
25. with the mayoral seal
between now and, say, 5:30,
Copy !req
26. - when the fish stop biting.
- I'm in!
Copy !req
27. Who's in charge here?
Copy !req
28. I guess I am.
Copy !req
29. - Huh? Argh!
Copy !req
30. Hey!
Copy !req
31. Hey!
Copy !req
32. What are you doing?
Copy !req
33. The mayor's office just approved
construction of a new mall.
Copy !req
34. See?
Copy !req
35. Next!
Copy !req
36. Next!
Next! Next!
Copy !req
37. With whom do I speak about
Copy !req
38. adding a new wing
to the library?
Copy !req
39. With meem! Approved!
Copy !req
40. By the way, I believe the proper
pronunciation is li-berry.
Copy !req
41. I'd like approval
for a parade through town
Copy !req
42. to celebrate my half birthday!
Copy !req
43. Half birthday approved.
Copy !req
44. I think this village
should have moving sidewalks.
Copy !req
45. I don't know.
Copy !req
46. Do you want to live in a world
without moving sidewalks?
Copy !req
47. Excellent argument. Approved!
Copy !req
48. Hey, Knucks. Uh, why are you
in the mayor's office
Copy !req
49. - stamping bills into law?
- I'm doing my civic duty.
Copy !req
50. - Oh, grow up, Sonic.
Copy !req
51. "Civic."
Copy !req
52. - Who's in charge here?
- I am!
Copy !req
53. And I'm doing a good job, too.
Copy !req
54. See?
Copy !req
55. You approved building
a new mall... next to my burrow?
Copy !req
56. - On my land?
- Sticks, Sticks, Sticks.
Copy !req
57. I approve lots of things,
next to lots of burrows,
Copy !req
58. on lots of people's lands.
Copy !req
59. I can't keep track
of all of 'em!
Copy !req
60. Your recklessness
is destroying my home!
Copy !req
61. Sticks, don't worry. You know
someone on the inside now!
Copy !req
62. Just write up a proposition
and I'll ram it through.
Copy !req
63. Gah! Politics has corrupted you!
I'm bringing you down, Knuckles!
Copy !req
64. - You and your goons!
- Me? What did I do?
Copy !req
65. The trash should've been picked up!
Where's that garbage man?
Copy !req
66. I want to take a few months off.
Copy !req
67. See the trash
in other countries,
Copy !req
68. maybe get some fancy
foreign coveralls.
Copy !req
69. What's the worst
that could happen?
Copy !req
70. See? No consequences!
Copy !req
71. I can't keep looking
at this stack of failed inventions.
Copy !req
72. It's bad enough
looking at you two!
Copy !req
73. Must every random observation
circle back to insult us?
Copy !req
74. It's not you.
Copy !req
75. I'm just frustrated
about the trash situation, you idiots!
Copy !req
76. Apology accepted.
Copy !req
77. That's it!
I'm going to City Hall!
Copy !req
78. You lug nuts wait here.
Copy !req
79. We need to stop Knuckles
and get government out of our lives!
Copy !req
80. What has government
ever done for us?
Copy !req
81. Maintain the fire department.
Can't say that's a bad idea.
Copy !req
82. - Well, yeah, that's true.
Copy !req
83. - There's also the sewer system.
Copy !req
84. Yeah, I definitely don't want
that responsibility.
Copy !req
85. And have you tried
those new moving sidewalks?
Copy !req
86. Pretty sweet!
Copy !req
87. You can make
all the good arguments you want,
Copy !req
88. but don't come cryin' to me
Copy !req
89. when Knuckles gets
his pudgy government fingers
Copy !req
90. all over your lives.
Copy !req
91. Next! Whatcha got?
Copy !req
92. Well, it's kind of a long list.
Copy !req
93. No time to read a list.
Approved! Next!
Copy !req
94. Hey, Knurples!
What's with the trash collection?
Copy !req
95. - You've...
- Sorry,
Copy !req
96. there's a lot of people waiting.
You'll have to take a number.
Copy !req
97. It's out of numbers.
Copy !req
98. You need to fill out
a complaint form.
Copy !req
99. - Can I get one?
- I'd love to help you.
Copy !req
100. - Take a number.
- Grr.
Copy !req
101. I have a request to shout
"Woo-hoo!" in a public place.
Copy !req
102. Approved!
Copy !req
103. Woo-hoo! That was
the high point of my life.
Copy !req
104. Move it, pal! I got permission
to build my house right here!
Copy !req
105. And I got permission
to build my tunnel right here!
Copy !req
106. Outta the way!
Copy !req
107. I got a permit to build
my lemonade factory here!
Copy !req
108. We better go sort this mess out.
Copy !req
109. I'd like to check this one out.
Copy !req
110. Impossible. Thanks to
the Organised Bookshelf Act
Copy !req
111. it's now illegal
to check out books.
Copy !req
112. Finally I have protection
Copy !req
113. from people who think
books are for reading
Copy !req
114. and not for sitting neatly
in a row on the shelf.
Copy !req
115. My ice cream! Why?
Why did the village reverse its ban
Copy !req
116. on flammable frozen treats?
Copy !req
117. Ooh! It's not moving! I'm stuck!
Copy !req
118. Just walk! Use your legs!
Copy !req
119. My taxes paid
for moving sidewalks.
Copy !req
120. No way I'm using my legs!
Copy !req
121. That red imbecile has done
more damage to this village
Copy !req
122. in a few hours
than I've done in years
Copy !req
123. with my ingenious, worthwhile,
and well-executed plans!
Copy !req
124. Knubbles must be stopped!
Copy !req
125. Much as I hate to say it,
Eggman, we're with you!
Copy !req
126. Now we need a plan.
Copy !req
127. You gotta outlaw peanut butter
and pickle sandwiches!
Copy !req
128. If people realise they can get
cheap, barely edible food
Copy !req
129. outside of Meh Burger,
I'm out of a job!
Copy !req
130. Look at you.
You who were once so proud.
Copy !req
131. Go now and never return!
Copy !req
132. I see what's going on here.
Copy !req
133. You're in the pocket of
Big Peanut Butter and Pickles.
Copy !req
134. Ow! Is there any chance
Copy !req
135. you could stamp some sort
of universal healthcare law?
Copy !req
136. OK, Knuckles,
I order you to stand down.
Copy !req
137. Lower the stamp
and back away from the desk.
Copy !req
138. - No.
- Well, I'm out of ideas.
Copy !req
139. I'm not!
Copy !req
140. It's now illegal
to use your finger
Copy !req
141. to activate a weapon.
Copy !req
142. Grr!
Copy !req
143. Ow!
Copy !req
144. Any chance I can get in
on that universal healthcare?
Copy !req
145. No boomerangs! No hammers!
No inventions! No spin attacks!
Copy !req
146. No mayonnaise!
Copy !req
147. Knuckles,
you've gone mad with power!
Copy !req
148. Oh, really? Well, would someone
mad with power approve a law
Copy !req
149. giving himself ultimate
authority over everything?
Copy !req
150. That's the dictionary definition
of "mad with power!"
Copy !req
151. I wish I could corroborate that,
Copy !req
152. but it's illegal to check books
out of the liberry.
Copy !req
153. Huh?
Copy !req
154. Nice try, Knuckles, but I'm
afraid your stamp is out of ink.
Copy !req
155. Nice work!
Now destroy the stamp!
Copy !req
156. - Eggman?
- I'm afraid there's been
Copy !req
157. a slight change of plans.
Copy !req
158. With this stamp,
I now rule the village!
Copy !req
159. First order of business?
Copy !req
160. Strip waste management
of all vacation time!
Copy !req
161. Au contraire, mi amigo.
Copy !req
162. Any change to waste management
requires form 48C-13.
Copy !req
163. And where do I find that?
Copy !req
164. You'll have to take a number.
Copy !req
165. Find me that form!
Copy !req
166. I believe I outlawed
those weapons.
Copy !req
167. Knuckles, you gotta
let us fight! Or else...
Copy !req
168. Eggman's trash will be collected
in a timely fashion?
Copy !req
169. Wait, why are we fighting this?
Copy !req
170. Because he picked my stamp up
off the ground
Copy !req
171. and seized absolute power!
Copy !req
172. Grr! Huh?
Copy !req
173. Aha! Now to get some ink.
Copy !req
174. Where's my octopus bot?
Copy !req
175. Right here, boss!
Copy !req
176. Ah!
Copy !req
177. Look what you've done!
Copy !req
178. You've created more trash
that won't get hauled away.
Copy !req
179. Ah, it's always good to get away
for a few hours.
Copy !req
180. What the... ?
Copy !req
181. Sorry about the mess.
Copy !req
182. But you know how it is,
being mayor,
Copy !req
183. stamping everything
that comes across your desk,
Copy !req
184. regardless of its merits.
Copy !req
185. You have no idea how happy
we are to see you, sir.
Copy !req
186. Any chance
I can get my trash collected?
Copy !req
187. Take a number.
Copy !req
188. Eclair Media
