TAILS That's because you couldn't bare yourself to. You think in your head that it means something, does it?
MANIC How do you know all of this?
TAILS Let me just tell you that if you open your mind and ears, you'll hear that riff, and you'll know everything. Once you do, you'll make some friends.
Tails turns to leave.
MANIC (calling back) Maybe I don't want any friends!
Tails turns back and smiles slyly.
TAILS I didn't say I would be your friend.
He turns and disapears into the shadow.
ON MANIC
Manic shakes his head in confusion. Then he continues on walking.
CUT TO:
INT. MAIN ROOM - MAIN ROBOTROPOLICE BUILDING - NIGHT
A door opens and standing there are SLEET and DINGO.
ROBOTNIK (V.O.) Enter, bounty hunters!
Sleet and Dingo walk in and they walk to Robotnik.
SLEET Oh, sir, thank's for calling us on such short notice. What is your wish, sir? All you need to do is ask.
ROBOTNIK All I want from you is your recruitment.
SLEET Why, that's very kind of you, sir, but you see, we are independant contractors.
DINGO Yeah, we're in the... uh... work for... uh... um... we work by ourselves.
ROBOTNIK Silence! From now on, you work for me!
SLEET Oh, but sir, we have already--
Robotnik presses a button and lazers shoot from the wall all around Sleet and Dingo causing smoke. Once the smoke clears, we see frightened looks on Sleet and Dingo's faces.
SLEET Then again, I think it's time that we have made a change.
ROBOTNIK Good.
Robotnik presses another button.
ON SCREENS
We see the screen videos of Sonic running through and destroying the factory.
ROBOTNIK (V.O.) This is the freedom fighter's secret weapon. It has plagued me for over a year! I want ti found and destroyed!
CLOSE ON SLEET
We see Sleet's evil face.
SLEET Don't worry, sir. Whatever it is, concider it, destroyed.
FADE OUT.
