1. Grr!
Copy !req
2. As we remember, the epicentre
of tourism for our fair village
Copy !req
3. was the giant ball of twine.
Copy !req
4. That is,
until someone unwound it.
Copy !req
5. Boo!
Copy !req
6. I only did it
to stop a rock slide
Copy !req
7. from steamrolling the town!
Copy !req
8. I remember it
like it was yesterday.
Copy !req
9. No time for a flashback!
We need to reinvigorate tourism!
Copy !req
10. Suggestions?
Copy !req
11. What if we sold T-shirts
for the town?
Copy !req
12. - Get our name out there!
- Great idea!
Copy !req
13. Just one quick question.
What is the name of our town?
Copy !req
14. Uh...
Copy !req
15. Our village must have a name.
And I know just how to find out!
Copy !req
16. Everyone, to the library!
Copy !req
17. Or I could
just look it up online.
Copy !req
18. But the library's
an important resource,
Copy !req
19. with its card catalogues
Copy !req
20. and cabinets full of microfiche!
Copy !req
21. - Found it!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
22. - Oh...
- Our town was originally called
Copy !req
23. Badgerville,
Copy !req
24. named after its founder,
Jebediah Badger.
Copy !req
25. He was a ruthless bank owner
and land developer,
Copy !req
26. who seized power
by manipulating the system.
Copy !req
27. Good thing
we don't let people like that
Copy !req
28. run our city any more...
Copy !req
29. He kicked people
out of their homes
Copy !req
30. just to develop on their land
and expand his fortune.
Copy !req
31. Eventually,
our ancestors rebelled,
Copy !req
32. chasing him out of town!
Copy !req
33. Then they tore down the signs
Copy !req
34. bearing his image
and the town's name.
Copy !req
35. Afterward, they were too lazy
to hang up new ones.
Copy !req
36. So I guess, technically,
it's still called Badgerville.
Copy !req
37. That's impossible!
Copy !req
38. Jebediah Badger was...
my great-great-grandfather!
Copy !req
39. My ancestor was... "the man!"
Copy !req
40. Jebediah Badger stood for
everything I hate in this world,
Copy !req
41. abuse of power, oppression,
shoddy sign construction...
Copy !req
42. You had nothing to do with him,
Copy !req
43. so it's nothing
to be ashamed of.
Copy !req
44. I guess I overreacted.
Thanks, Amy.
Copy !req
45. I feel like everyone's
looking at me funny.
Copy !req
46. How's that different?
Copy !req
47. Because now it's not paranoia.
Copy !req
48. People, I don't even agree
with Jebediah Badger!
Copy !req
49. I try and help everyone.
Copy !req
50. I must've saved that
walrus baby, like, 50 times!
Copy !req
51. Don't you talk about my baby.
Copy !req
52. We can't stand idly by
and let our town be named after
Copy !req
53. some no-good, stinkin' badger.
Copy !req
54. We need a new name
for our village!
Copy !req
55. I agree! Let's put
our heads together and -
Copy !req
56. She's coming for us!
Copy !req
57. Maybe it's best
if I lay low for a bit.
Copy !req
58. Amy, you go make sure they don't
name the town something stupid.
Copy !req
59. How about we name it
Shimmydown Town?
Copy !req
60. No way. It's gotta be something
with pizzazz, like Sonic-Topia.
Copy !req
61. Nah, it should have a strong,
intimidating name, like...
Copy !req
62. Knuckles. I've always liked
that one for some reason.
Copy !req
63. It should be a name that sounds
nice and boosts our image.
Copy !req
64. Something like Pleasant Valley.
Copy !req
65. Intentionally vague,
bordering on misleading,
Copy !req
66. but not open to legal dispute.
It's perfect!
Copy !req
67. Not so fast!
Copy !req
68. - Everybody chillax.
Copy !req
69. I'm not here to fight. I heard
we need a new name for our town.
Copy !req
70. And I found the perfect option.
Copy !req
71. - Eggman City!
- I like it!
Copy !req
72. What? No! That's terrible.
We're not naming it Eggman City.
Copy !req
73. Who made you king?
I say, let the people decide!
Copy !req
74. - Yeah!
Copy !req
75. But the people just decided.
Everybody liked Pleasant Valley!
Copy !req
76. You can't just declare
a new name.
Copy !req
77. You need to draw up
a proposition
Copy !req
78. and hold a referendum.
There's a process!
Copy !req
79. Unless you want to be all...
Jebediah Badger about it.
Copy !req
80. Boo!
Copy !req
81. From the rolling meadows
to the beautiful beaches
Copy !req
82. to that perpetual dumpster fire
behind Meh Burger,
Copy !req
83. there's something for everyone
Copy !req
84. in a place
called Pleasant Valley!
Copy !req
85. - Ow!
Copy !req
86. Y'all ready for Eggman City?
Copy !req
87. First order of business,
free T-shirts!
Copy !req
88. Calm down. There's enough swag
for everyone.
Copy !req
89. Citizens for Pleasant Valley.
Copy !req
90. Hey! This isn't a library!
Copy !req
91. - Hey! This isn't a library.
- But... this is a library.
Copy !req
92. Obviously you don't understand
parallel construction jokes.
Copy !req
93. Amy Rose thinks we should name
our town Pleasant Valley.
Copy !req
94. But did you know that Amy Rose
Copy !req
95. is an associate of known
conspiracy theorist
Copy !req
96. and descendant of Jebediah
Badger, Sticks the Badger?
Copy !req
97. What else is Amy Rose hiding?
Copy !req
98. Paid for by citizens
who'd prefer Eggman City.
Copy !req
99. I can't take this any more!
Copy !req
100. Well, I've done everything
I can. Now we just have to vote
Copy !req
101. and hope people
make the right decision.
Copy !req
102. Have a little faith
in the democratic process.
Copy !req
103. - It always comes through!
- It's a landslide!
Copy !req
104. Eggman City triumphs
with a record 98% of the vote!
Copy !req
105. Let's talk to the man
of the hour, Dr Eggman!
Copy !req
106. Thank you, Soar. I also want to
thank all the villagers
Copy !req
107. who were swayed
by my charismatic campaign
Copy !req
108. and voted without actually
reading the proposition itself.
Copy !req
109. And why would they? Your
commercials and free T-shirts
Copy !req
110. stated the point so clearly!
Copy !req
111. Yes, well, what the T-shirts
failed to mention was that
Copy !req
112. hidden within the ordinance
Copy !req
113. was a clause
to give me absolute power!
Copy !req
114. You chumps just elected me
your supreme leader!
Copy !req
115. Oh, by the way,
I'm shutting down the media.
Copy !req
116. - Ain't our system grand, boys?
- You'll need a cabinet.
Copy !req
117. Might I submit my resumé
for Secretary of the Interior?
Copy !req
118. And can I be water commissioner?
They get all the chicks.
Copy !req
119. Now that I'm in charge,
I have big plans.
Copy !req
120. Yes, yes! Collect my trash
in a timely fashion!
Copy !req
121. I also have big plans for
the city. It's demolition time!
Copy !req
122. What the heck
do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
123. Clearing space for my new
theme park, of course!
Copy !req
124. Which, by the way,
will be great for tourism.
Copy !req
125. - You're welcome.
- What about the villagers?
Copy !req
126. They can work at the theme park
or visit it!
Copy !req
127. See? It's all good.
Now move along.
Copy !req
128. Need I remind you that
I was elected supreme leader?
Copy !req
129. What I'm doing is
within the letter of the law
Copy !req
130. and you can't stop me!
Copy !req
131. I'll find a way to stop you
legally, Eggman!
Copy !req
132. Everyone,
come with me to the library!
Copy !req
133. Fine, I'll go myself.
Copy !req
134. Shh!
Copy !req
135. - That's it!
- Shh!
Copy !req
136. Sticks, I've got great...
Whoa, what are you doing?
Copy !req
137. This town's no place
for a badger like me.
Copy !req
138. You have no idea
how wrong you are.
Copy !req
139. I discovered that even though
Jebediah was run out of town,
Copy !req
140. he never relinquished
ownership of the land.
Copy !req
141. - That greedy, no-good...
- Don't you see?
Copy !req
142. That means, legally,
Copy !req
143. the land belongs to Jebediah
Badger's only descendant, you!
Copy !req
144. I own the village?
And everything in it?
Copy !req
145. - Uh-huh.
- The stores? The houses?
Copy !req
146. - Yep.
- The mind-reading antennae
Copy !req
147. cleverly disguised as trees?
Copy !req
148. The invisible tower where
the government hides aliens?
Copy !req
149. The factory where they create
our duplicates
Copy !req
150. so they can replace us
with pod people?
Copy !req
151. If any of those things existed,
you'd own 'em.
Copy !req
152. Let's go kick Eggman
out of my village,
Copy !req
153. unless you're
the pod version of Amy,
Copy !req
154. then you can wait here.
Copy !req
155. If we demolish the youth centre,
I can double the size
Copy !req
156. - of my funnel cake stand!
- Come on, Eggman!
Copy !req
157. You can't just destroy
the village.
Copy !req
158. Sorry, I can't hear you over the
noise of building a theme park!
Copy !req
159. Wait!
According to these records,
Copy !req
160. Sticks is the true owner
of the village!
Copy !req
161. So you're saying our votes
don't mean anything?
Copy !req
162. Exactly!
None of your votes matter!
Copy !req
163. Boo!
Copy !req
164. But I'm giving the town
back to the people!
Copy !req
165. And I figured it all out thanks
to the wonders of the library!
Copy !req
166. - Boo!
- It's over, Eggman.
Copy !req
167. I don't care if you nullified
my term as supreme ruler.
Copy !req
168. That youth centre's going down!
Copy !req
169. Oh...
Copy !req
170. Outta the way!
Copy !req
171. Come on, kids.
Move it or lose it!
Copy !req
172. You can finish colouring later!
Copy !req
173. What? No!
Stupid thing's stuck!
Copy !req
174. - You win this time...
- We pretty much win every time.
Copy !req
175. I guess we owe you an apology,
Sticks. After your heroics,
Copy !req
176. we'd be honoured
to keep the name Badgerville.
Copy !req
177. Nah, that's OK.
Copy !req
178. Let's name the village
after someone who deserves it.
Copy !req
179. Someone selfless and honourable.
Copy !req
180. I say we call it
Hedgehog Village.
Copy !req
181. Wow, Sticks. Naming the town
after me? You shouldn't have.
Copy !req
182. I mean,
I get why you'd want to, but...
Copy !req
183. Not after you! After my good
friend, Amy Rose the Hedgehog,
Copy !req
184. who always stood by me,
no matter what.
Copy !req
185. - Aw!
- Aw!
Copy !req
186. You sure you don't want
to call it Knuckles?
Copy !req
187. I've always liked it
for some reason.
Copy !req
