Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik quotes from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)

View Quote [while watching La Última Pasión] Let that be a lesson to you, Juan! Family is a field of emotional claymores... that leave you abandoned, betrayed, and weeping while you eat cake, which creates copious amounts of adipose tissue, and what some callous individuals refer to as... man-boobs.

View Quote "Imposter". That's impossi... WHAT?!?!

View Quote Let's... [grabs Stone] ...DO THIS!

View Quote It's as if... [with Gerald, breaking the fourth wall] ...we're two characters in a movie, being played by the same actor!

View Quote Set up defense! [his suit produces... an actual picket fence] Damn you, autocorrect!

View Quote [Ivo, Tails, and Knuckles manage to turn the Eclipse Cannon's laser away from Earth...] Yes! I did it... I did it...! [...but it slices the moon in half] Ooh... [to Knuckles and Tails] Look what you did!

View Quote [in Spanish, after being convinced by Shadow to save the Earth] Go with God, stinking hedgehog.

View Quote [as he started livestreaming] This is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, dedicating my final livestream to one very special henchman: Agent Stone. [Stone: No, no. Doctor, wait!] If I can't rule the world, I might as well save it... for the one and only person who ever cared about me! [Stone: Don't do this, Doctor, please!] Stone, you were more than a sycophant to me. You were... [after a brief pause] a syco-friend. [Stone becomes teary-eyed] I'll miss your lattes with steamed Austrian goat milk... I love the way you make 'em! [Stone beams happily] So, I guess there's only one thing left to say: Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt! It's been a real drag! [whispers] Thanks for nothing.

View Quote Stone: Doctor, we have visitors.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik: Really? I thought I was having an anthropomorphic nightmare, where the only person I could trust in the world showed up with all my worst enemies, while I was in a bathrobe, playing congas on my big, fat belly!
Stone: Sorry, sir.
Sonic: I don't believe it. Eggman's alive?
Tails: And he's never looked... worse.
Ivo Robotnik: [chuckling] Well, maybe this is what "not giving a **** what you think I look like" looks like.
Stone: Sir, right now, we have an even bigger problem.
Ivo: Oh, come on...
Stone: There's an imposter out there, using your technology.
Ivo: [turning back to the monitor] "Imposter". That's impossi... What?! [recorded footage of the hacked egg drones plays on the monitor] No... My sweet, mechanized spawn! Whomever this party-pooping posse is looking for has stolen my persona, and the precious babies from my egg sac. Well, I'll soon "egg sac"-t my revenge. You see what I did there? [off Stone's laugh] It's time for the dramatic soap opera twist, where this Pablo reveals his Juan! [goes over to one of his devices, shoving trash out of the way.] By cross-referencing the precise coordinates of each drone's energy spikes, I can track my babies to the imposter's base of operations, right about… [points at a location] there.
Tails: Sonic, I hate to say it, but I think we're both after the same person.
Sonic: Hold on, hold on. You're not suggesting we team up with Doctor Ro-butt-stink, are you?
Knuckles: Perhaps the fox is right. It could be our only chance to find this mysterious, more impressive hedgehog.
Sonic: [groans] All right, Egghead, I hate to say it, but it looks like we're partners.
Ivo: On one condition. [holds out his hand, gesturing Sonic to give him something]
Sonic: [unfortunately knows what it is] Dude, you have serious issues. Ow! [plucks out one of his quills and begrudgingly gives it to Ivo. Ivo puts it to his tongue, and it shocks him with Chaos energy.]
Ivo: Let's… [grabs Stone, shouting in his face] …do this!

View Quote [Ivo noisily struggles in his changing room. Stone is startled but quickly regains his composure and continues to wait patiently until Ivo opens the door.]
Ivo: Tinker Tailor, I need room. Think Elvis, circa 1976.
Stone: But, sir, I don't have the proper materials.
Ivo: [rips off Stone's shirt] Found some! [hands it to Stone, shuts the door]
Stone: Resourceful.

View Quote [Outside, Sonic and Ivo emerge from a ring]
Sonic: OK, I don't like you, and you don't like me. Let's get this over with quickly.
Ivo: [bumps Sonic aside] Out of my way, Dork-upine.
Sonic: [sarcastic] Dork-upine?! Really clever!
[Tails, Knuckles, and Stone, still without a shirt, follow them to the base's doors as the Ring closes behind them.]
Ivo: [knocks] This door is 6-inch-thick solid steel and a pressurized latch. I'll need a moment to calculate the molecular density and invert the venting mechanics.
Knuckles: [simply punches the doors down] I unlocked it.
Ivo: Subtle as always, Fists-for-Brains.
[Inside the base, Shadow hears the doors being knocked down.]
Professor: Easy, Shadow. Those are the guests I've been expecting. Let's give them a warm welcome.

View Quote [Team Sonic, Ivo, and Stone enter the base.]
Stone: Whoa, what is this place?
Sonic: Looks like a military base, but nobody's been here for years. I wonder if it's haunted.
Knuckles: Haunted? Nobody said anything about being haunted.
Stone: What's the matter? You afraid of g-g-g-ghosts?
Knuckles: Nothing scares an Echidna warrior.
Sonic: Uh, yeah, do you remember what happened last movie night? [Cut to a brief flashback of Knuckles screaming in terror... at Casper the Friendly Ghost. He holds onto his friends' hands, crushing them in the process.] AAAHH! Let go-let go-let-go-let go!
[Cut back to the present.]
Knuckles: There's no such thing as a "friendly ghost".
[Sonic rolls his eyes, unconvinced. Tails still visibly feels the pain in his hand. They soon come across three hallways.]
Sonic: So, which way do we go?
Ivo: I know! We should split up. Everyone with hideous, brightly colored fur take the left and the middle. Stone and I will go right.
Sonic: No, no, no, no, no. I'm not letting you out of my sight. Tails, you and Stone go left. Knuckles, you take the middle. Eggman, you and I go right.
Ivo: By all means. We could use some time together. To work on your trust issues.
Sonic: You know what, you're right, I should be more trusting. I mean, you've only tried to kill me twice!

View Quote [Sonic and Ivo investigate a room housing Maria's old tent.]
Sonic: Whoa, look at all this stuff. This was more than just a military base or a lab. It was a home. People lived here. [finds a framed photo of Shadow and Maria with the glass broken] He had a family.
Ivo: Is that what I smell? The stench of domestic harmony?
Sonic: You ever wonder what your life would've been like if you had a family?
Ivo: Hm... no.
Sonic: Maybe you wouldn't have gone full supervillain.
Ivo: I have no parents, no aunts, no uncles, and something about my attitude renders me... [looks at his reflection] ...undesirable to all possible genders. [Sonic follows a trail of footprints leading into the next room while Robotnik continues.] My future is a cul-de-sac. The Robotnik name ends... [pulls out Sonic's quill] ...avec moi. Yes, I know French. [shocks his tongue again]
[Sonic's attention is diverted as he enters the adjacent lab housing Shadow's old capsule.]
Sonic: Whoa, is this where you grew up, Shadow? No wonder you're so mad. This place could really use a beanbag chair and some comic books. What happened here?
[As Sonic inspects the capsule, Shadow suddenly teleports in and smashes Sonic's head against it, cracking the glass even more.]
Shadow: I'm tired of giving you warnings! [throws Sonic against the lab's machinery and charges a Chaos energy-infused punch, knocking Sonic out again.]
Sonic: AH!
Ivo: Where'd you go, hedgehog? I wasn't finished trauma-dumping. [looks around the room, he finds his drones neatly stacked and inactive.] My... darlings! [hugs his drones] My eggy-weggies!
[Then the door to the room creaks open, and the Professor slowly enters, singing Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were".]
Professor: ♪ Memories... light the corners of my mind... misty watercolor memories... ♪ [walks into view, Ivo discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to him.] ♪ ...of the way we were... n't! ♪
Ivo: I... don't believe it.
Professor: Don't you?
Ivo: It's impossible.
Professor: Is it?
Ivo: It couldn't be.
Professor: Couldn't it?
Ivo: I'm...
Professor: Are you?
Ivo: Imposter! You stole my babies! [activates his drones via his glove] They know who their real daddy is, drone-napper!
Professor: [laughs] Magnificent creations, my boy. I borrowed them to lure you here and reunite our family. You see, Ivo. [removes glasses] I'm your grandfather: Gerald Robotnik.
Ivo: My... grandfather? But how? And why? And who did what with whom?!
Professor Gerald Robotnik: You hail from an ancestry of excellence, tied directly à moi. Yes, I know French.
Ivo: [closely inspecting] You do look like me. But fatter, and older. And there's that funny smell. But the resemblance is uncanny. It's as if...
Both: We're two characters in a movie [slowly turning to the camera] being played by the same actor!
Ivo: But I need real proof!
Gerald: Ivo! We have very little time. [commands a drone via his glove to shoot at Gerald's feet. Gerald hops over the bullet and immediately reconsiders] But I could field a couple of queries.
[Ivo starts walking around Gerald and quizzing him.]
Ivo: Name the most elegant formula in mathematics.
Gerald: Euler's identity: e to the i times pi plus one equals zilch.
Ivo: European capitals arranged alphabetically by the fourth letter.
Gerald: [yawns] Riga, Monaco, Sarajevo, Tirana.
Ivo: The speed of light divided by the speed of sound divided by the speed of the bus in the movie Speed.
Gerald: [mimics calculator beeps] 17,893.33333...
Ivo: Rounding up.
Gerald: 17,893 mph.
Ivo: And, for all the marbles...
Gerald: Good, I lost mine.
Ivo: A rare lung disease, and the longest word in the English dictionary.
Gerald: Em...
Both: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!
Ivo: [whispering in shock] Pop-Pop?
Gerald: In the saggy flesh. But lookin' pretty good for 110. [shocks his tongue on Shadow's quill]
Ivo: [tearfully overjoyed] Oh, Grampy-poo! [hugs Gerald] Where have you been my entire life? [pulls back] Wait. [angrily] Where have you been... my ENTIRE LIFE?!
Gerald: Locked in a top-secret prison for the last 50 years. Made it kinda hard to send Christmas cards. Now, you're probably wondering why I brought you here.
Ivo: You didn't bring me here. I used my unparalleled intellect to track you down.
Gerald: Per the plan I concocted with my unparalleled intellect. You'll see. I have the answer to everything. C'mon, kiddo.
[Ivo follows Gerald with a skip in his step. Behind them, the drones form hearts in their optics.]

View Quote Sonic: Oh, no. Someone tell me this is some kind of concussion-induced nightmare. There's TWO Eggmen now?!
Ivo: Double your villains, double your fun!
Gerald: Two Robotniks are way worse than one!
Ivo: [to Gerald] Chest bump? No. [to Stone] Stone, why are you tied up? Do that on your own time. You sicken me.
Shadow: You must be the long-lost grandson.
Ivo: And you must be another stinking hedgehog.
[Sonic redirects his attention to Gerald just as Tails and Knuckles regain consciousness.]
Sonic: So, you're the one behind all this? The Shadow breakout.
Tails: The attack on Walters!
Knuckles: That musty old man smell?
Gerald: How dare you insult me with your unsolicited exposition! Shadow, get the key.
Shadow: [reaches his hand out] Where is it?
Sonic: Ha! Good one, Hot Topic. Do you really think we'd be that stupid, to bring the key right to you? [Shadow takes the key from Tails' backpack.] Yup, we're that stupid.
Shadow: G.U.N. took everything from us. And now we are going to take everything from them.
Gerald: With this. [activates a small hologram] My masterpiece of malevolence: the Eclipse Cannon. In exchange for my freedom, I gave G.U.N. the most powerful weapon mankind has ever seen, capable of delivering a precision strike anywhere on Earth. Our first target: G.U.N. headquarters!
Sonic: But firing a weapon that powerful could threaten millions of innocent lives!
Gerald: Yeah, terabyte me! [Ivo chuckles at Gerald's pun] This is one of two keys required to launch the Eclipse Cannon. The other is locked inside G.U.N. headquarters. Once we have both, I will take rightful control of my weapon.
Ivo: I'm in.
[Ivo's crab mech floats down into the chamber.]
Gerald: Holy crab!
Stone: Spacious and crustaceous.
Ivo: [to Team Sonic] Thank you so much for inspiring this little adventure. It really worked out for me.
Sonic: And you wonder why I have trust issues! [As the Robotniks and Stone board the crab, Shadow teleports above Team Sonic.] Shadow, wait! Don't do this. I know you're hurting, but don't let that change who you are inside.
Shadow: I've spent 50 years reliving what they did to her. [deploys a black hole orb with his Chaos energy] This is who I am inside. [drops the orb and then teleports into the crab]
Sonic: Uh, nice magic marble. Real scary. [The orb unleashes a vortex, absorbing the base's ruins.] Aah! That actually is real scary!
Tails: It's a mini black hole! It's going to suck in all the matter in this base!
[A piece of debris knocks loose the pillar that the team is chained to, and they start being pulled in.]
Knuckles: Fear not, friends! Even my teeth are muscles! [bites down on a loose cable, keeping the team from being absorbed]
Tails: Sonic, try to reach one of my rings!
Sonic: [manages to grab a ring from Tails' backpack] Got one! Check this out. Trick shot! [flips the ring up and kicks it to try to open it, but it keeps bouncing into debris being pulled in.] Come on... come on... come on! [Knuckles loses his grip, and the team is pulled towards the vortex, but the ring opens right in front of them, transporting them to safety at the edge of a nearby cliff. The team briefly celebrates before witnessing the black hole devouring the mountain and disappearing.] Yikes. Somebody better call Google Maps.

View Quote [The crab's computer scans the crater where the mountain and abandoned base once sat: "No lifeforms detected".]
Ivo: I've spent years trying to cleanse the cosmos of that spiny, blue speed freak, and you did it... in one afternoon.
Gerald: There's nothing we can't destroy together, my boy.
Stone: Charting route to G.U.N. headquarters in London, sirs. ETA: four hours, as the crab flies.
Gerald: By all accounts, we're ahead of schedule. We should take this time to get to know each other better.
Ivo: Wow, what...? You mean... spend some qu-qu-qu... ality time?
Gerald: You've waited for this your whole life. How would you choose to spend one perfect day with your new grand pal?

View Quote Ivo: [rises out of a manhole, joining Shadow, Stone, and Gerald in an alley as "London Town" by Giggs and Mr. Eazi plays. The G.U.N. headquarters sits across the Thames.] London, baby!
Shadow: [to Gerald] G.U.N. headquarters is right there! Let me go in, get the key, and destroy anyone in my way! I want revenge!
Gerald: Patience, Shadow. Just let us handle this. And I promise, you'll have revenge... on a scale you can't possibly imagine.
Ivo: C'mon, granddaddio, we've got... dirt to do! [to Stone] Suits.
Stone: Right here, sir. [presents a briefcase with two suits]
Ivo: Stone, babysit the hedgehog. Keep the crab on a low boil. [to Gerald] It's time for more family bonding. [takes the suitcase, joins Gerald]
Stone: C'mon, Shadow. Got fresh avocados in the crab. We'll make guac. [goes down the manhole]
Shadow: [100% serious] Revenge guac!

View Quote Ivo: [decloaks] The Robotniks have entered the chat. [realizes] Wait. Poppy seed? Grand geezer...? ¿Dónde está--?
Gerald: I'm right here! [decloaks] If you weren't family, I could've gut you like a pheasant! [rethinks] I mean... try to keep up.

View Quote Gerald: What now, my cunning cohort?
Ivo: Just a little teamwork...!
Gerald: Hey... The lasers... don't seem to be penetrating my suit. They're conforming to the shape of my bodacious bod.
Ivo: Of course. I designed these suits to create a field of laser-bending thermal distortion. Wasn't sure it would work 'til now.
Gerald: You're heartless, son.
Ivo: Hmm.
Gerald: Rotten to the core.
Ivo: Mm-hmm.
Gerald: I'm... so proud. So, now we can just dance right through.
Ivo: That sounds like a challenge.

View Quote Ivo: Our destiny awaits.
Sonic: Stop right there, robo-scum!
Ivo: Let's do this...!
Gerald: Copy!
[The Robotniks run into the vault, but a couple floor panels turn red and pull them to the floor.]
Sonic: Too slow, Eggmen. Now if you don't mind, I gotta get that key-- [another floor panel turns green, suspending him off the ground] Whoa! My feet! Why can't I use my beautiful feet?
Rockwell: Because... [walks in, holding the controls] this vault is armed with variable gravity.
Gerald: No kidding?
Rockwell: Green goes up, and red takes you down, hard.
Sonic: Rockwell, listen to me. The Robotniks are planning to--
Rockwell: [spitefully flicks Sonic] Oh, they're planning on stealing the second key, just like you are? Yes, I'm aware. [pulls the key] I called it the second Commander Walters was attacked, so... thank you for taking the bait and falling right into my trap.
Ivo: I don't believe this.
Gerald: I know, grandson. A woman in the military.

View Quote [G.U.N. soldiers bring Tom, Maddie, and Tails into the vault. They find Sonic and the Robotniks trapped by Rockwell and the vault's variable gravity.]
Tom: Robotnik. Goin' full spandex, huh? (re: Gerald) Who's the fossil?
Ivo: That's my grandfather, you dough-eating dim-becile!
Gerald: (re: Tom and Maddie) Who are they?
Ivo: A couple of bleeding hearts, here to rescue their emotional support animals.
Rockwell: Enough! It's over. The only way you're leaving here is in handcuffs. There is no other way out.
Sonic: You know, there might be one other way out.
Rockwell: And what is that supposed to mean?
Sonic: [on Knuckles' comm] Hey, big guy, I think it's time to...
Knuckles: [launches off the face of Big Ben, propelled forward by the Flames of Disaster] Break glass in case of emergency! [glides straight through G.U.N. HQ's energy shield and breaks into the vault, roaring and slamming his flaming fist down against the floor. The resulting shockwave blasts Rockwell back, and Knuckles snags the vault's gravity controls from her.] Ha! Nothing can stop Team Knuckles!
Rockwell: Open fire!
[The soldiers obey, firing on Sonic, who frantically flips over their shots.]
Sonic: Knuckles, turn this stuff off! Hurry!
Knuckles: [thumbs up] On it! [smashes the controls with his fist. The controls turn all red, forming an X-eyed frowny face] Uh-oh.
[Tails facepalms as the vault's gravity goes haywire, randomly sending soldiers up and down.]

View Quote [In the Eclipse Cannon, Gerald waits in his new suit while Ivo finishes putting on his own.]
Ivo: ♪ I'm a chip off the old block, I'm a chip off the old block, I'm a chip off the old block... ♪ [suddenly, "E.G.G.M.A.N." rings from his suit, makes a phone sign with his hand and speaks into his glove.] What do you want, Stone? I'm busy.
[Stone talks into his smartphone back outside by the Thames.]
Stone: Doctor, I have a bad feeling about this. I don't think your grandfather's been completely honest with us. Something Shadow said... There's more to their plan.
Ivo: How dare you... You've been jealous of my long-lost grand pop-tart since the very beginning! I no longer require your obsequious groveling. Consider this your notice of termination. Your letter of reference will be L for "loser." Of course, I'll expect you to stay on until you've been successfully cloned, but you and I are done! Like a blackened catfish dinner!
Stone: Sir, it's too dangerous, and I'm not there to protect you! I already lost you once, I...!
Ivo: [hanging up] Unsubscribe. Blocked and reported.
Stone: ...I can't lose you again.

View Quote Ivo: [along with Gerald watching Shadow running at super-speed around the Cannon's core.] Excuse me, Grampasadoble. What is that thermonuclear gerbil doing?
Gerald: Infusing the core with Chaos Energy. That's my little secret: the Eclipse Cannon is about to turn this planet into a flaming pile of rubble, wiping out everything in a 25,000-mile radius... including us.
Ivo: WHAT?! [laughing incredulously] We can't annihilate the Earth! By combining our genius, we can rule humanity. Together!
Gerald: Humanity is a failed experiment. If anyone should know that, it's you. All your life, you've been rejected by this world. You have nothing down there... no one who cares about you.
Ivo: But I have you now. We're family... we have each other.
Gerald: [coldly] Oh, Ivo... you're no Maria. The moment I lost her, my family was gone forever. The only way to give Maria's life meaning is to destroy the world that took her from me... so I'm BURNING IT ALL DOWN!
Shadow: [teleports back down] It's done.
Gerald: Good work, Shadow. I'm prepping the firing sequence. [flicks a switch] The weapon will be fully charged in ten minutes.
Shadow: [puts his hand to the window, and looks out at Earth below] It's almost finished, Maria. You will have justice. [then notices a golden light flying up from the planet]
Gerald: What is that?
Shadow: Is G.U.N. launching missiles at us?
Gerald: Impossible. It's moving too fast.
Ivo: [takes out Sonic's quill, which changes from blue to gold before his eyes; realizing] It's him.
[The light, revealing to be Super Sonic, blitzes Shadow straight out of the Eclipse Cannon, leaving a hole in the glass window. A metal door seals the hole before the Robotniks can be pulled into space.]
Super Sonic: [enraged] YOU'VE HURT MY FAMILY! THIS ENDS NOW!
Shadow: Now you know my anger. The pain I felt for fifty years! And you’ve made the same choice I did.
Super Sonic: I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!
Shadow: We'll see.
[Super Sonic and Shadow re-enter the atmosphere and crash-land in a volcanic region, creating a crater upon impact. Once the dust clears, Super Sonic notices that Shadow has vanished.]
Super Sonic: SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!
[Shadow shows himself behind Super Sonic and knocks the Chaos Emeralds out of him, reverting Sonic to his base form. They see the Emeralds falling in the air and both make a mad dash for them at the same time. A pillar of golden light shoots up from the Emeralds, and when it leaves, Sonic sees that he has regained his Super form... but Shadow has also gained his for the first time, his limiter rings glowing with power and his fur whitish gold. Super Sonic tries to punch Super Shadow, but the latter effortlessly blocks, the impact causing the earth to crack beneath their feet.]
Super Shadow: You were right about one thing... This ends NOW.
[Super Shadow strikes back at Super Sonic, and an epic battle between the two enraged, godlike hedgehogs begins. The Robotniks watch the fight unfold around the world from the Eclipse Cannon.]
Gerald: What's happening? Where are they?
Ivo: [points up] Up there.
Gerald: [looks up] Where?
Ivo: Higher.
Gerald: [looks higher] Hmm?
[Ivo chops Gerald in the neck, causing the latter to fall in pain]
Gerald: Ah!
Ivo: Left yourself open. [runs for the Cannon's controls]
Gerald: [enraged; as Ivo betrays him] Ivo! What are you doing?!
Ivo: Thwarting your evil plan!
[Gerald catches up to him with a nano jetpack. Both Robotniks begin fighting each other, and they start by grabbing each other's mustaches.]
Both: [screaming] WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA! OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW!
Ivo: Not the mustache!
Gerald: Agreed!
Ivo: Let go on three. One, two, three! [they both let go and shake their mustaches before Gerald creates a giant fist out of nanobots] Ooooh... A nanofist. I haven't seen that since I hate-watched Green Lantern in 2011!
Gerald: I was saving it for Comic-Con. But now there won't be a Comic-Con! [slaps Ivo which sends him flying]
[Super Sonic and Super Shadow continue their fight all the way to Greece. Super Shadow teleports behind Super Sonic and kicks him down into the Parthenon]
Super Shadow: Why are you alone? Where are your friends? [Super Sonic merely grunts in pain.] They tried to stop you, didn't they? But you came anyway. Your anger was too much. What kind of hero abandons his friends to pursue revenge? Abandons his family?
Super Sonic: Don't you dare talk about my family!
Super Shadow: And here I thought you cared for them. Especially the one... What's his name? Tom?
Super Sonic: HYNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
[With rage boiling over, Super Sonic punches Super Shadow so hard that he sends him flying out of Earth and straight to the moon, knocking him out of his Super form. Super Sonic charges after him, grabs him by the chest fur, and poises his fist to deliver the final blow.]
Shadow: Go ahead! Finish it! [Super Sonic pants heavily and prepares to hit, but hesitates] What are you waiting for?! Do it! [points at his heart] I’m right here!
[Super Sonic's eyes widen, remembering Tom's words in the old cave]
Tom: You didn't let your pain change who you are... [points at Sonic's heart] in here.
Super Sonic: [calms down and lets Shadow go, looking at himself with remorse] This is not who I am.
Shadow: What are you doing? You won. Take your revenge.
Sonic: [reverts to base form, sits down sadly] There are no winners with revenge.
[The two hedgehogs sit in somber silence. Shadow looks up at the stars.]
Maria: [echoing in Shadow's mind] Wow. Look at all those stars. They're like diamonds.
Shadow: The last time I sat beneath stars like this, I was with her. I've felt this pain for so long, it's all I know.
Sonic: When I lost Longclaw, I felt the same way.
Shadow: Did your pain eventually go away?
Sonic: No. But in time, I learned there's something more powerful than pain. The love we felt for each other. That's what you need to hold on to, Shadow. Maria might be gone, but your love will always remain.
[at that moment, the sun peaks out from behind Earth, illuminating them both]
Shadow: The light shines, even though the star is gone. [Sonic sees Shadow's understanding, along with the Eclipse Cannon still looming over the planet in the distance] This whole mess is my fault. I've been so blinded by rage, I thought... I had no choice.
Sonic: [stands up, offers his hand] You always have a choice. [Shadow thinks for a second, then takes Sonic's hand and gets back up] Making the right one is never easy. One more thing I learned, is that when you really screw something up... you can't fix it on your own.
[As a familiar tune begins to play, Shadow smiles for the first time in fifty years. The two hedgehogs transform into their Super forms once more, preparing for the final battle.]
Super Sonic: Gotta go fast!
Super Shadow: Don't tell me you've got a catchphrase.
Super Sonic: That's right, new hedgehog, and everyone loves it!
[at long last, the vocals of Crush 40's "Live and Learn" kick in, and Super Sonic and Super Shadow launch off the moon together toward the Eclipse Cannon]
Gerald: [spanking Ivo with his nanofist] I... will... not... try... to stop... my... elders... from... destroying... the... world!
[Ivo makes a nano drill and drives it into Gerald's foot, who shouts in pain and relents, so Ivo rolls away and gets to his feet] Playtime is over! [makes a pair of nano scorpion pincers and a tail, the latter destroying the Eclipse Cannon controls]
Gerald: There's no going back now!
Ivo: [to his glove] Set up defense. [accidentally makes a fence] Damn you, autocorrect! [Gerald lunges to attack with his pincers; to his glove] Mantis. [makes a pair of mantis blades, hovering around Gerald's next attack via mantis wings.] I'm right here, arach-nerd. [Gerald lunges again, but Ivo catches his pincer with one mantis blade and slices off part of his mustache with the other.] Hahahahaaa! That's what I call "mantiscaping".
Gerald: [furious] That's ELDER ABUSE!
[He prepares his pincers for another attack, only to spin around and whip Ivo off the platform with his scorpion tail. Ivo hangs on the edge, but before Gerald can finish him off, the Eclipse Cannon's alarm and computer voice divert his attention.]
Computer: [repeating] Alert.
Gerald: [retracts his nano weapons and sees Super Sonic and Super Shadow on the monitor] Shadow, I see you've chosen betrayal. And you were once so useful to me.

View Quote Ivo: [hanging over the Eclipse Cannon's hatch] Please, Grampsy! Don't do this.
Gerald: Sorry, kiddo. "Bring Your Grandkid to Work Day" is over. [opens the hatch, causing Ivo to hold on for dear life] Any last words?
Ivo: Just... one thing... that I never thought I’d say.
Gerald: What is it? [mockingly] "I love you"?
Ivo: No. It was something even better, but I'm not gonna say it if that's the way you're gonna be!
Gerald: [nonchalantly] 'Kay. Bye.
[He stomps on Ivo’s hand, sending him falling.]
Ivo: AAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Gerald: [laughs evilly and sighs] Grandchildren. All the fun and none of the responsibility.
[However, Ivo flies back inside, carrying Knuckles and being carried by Tails through their ring, while holding Super Sonic's glowing quill]
Ivo: Who said life was pointless?
Gerald: [shocked] Huh?
Ivo: [sneers] Oh, right. You did. [uses the quill to zap Gerald behind, sending him flying into the energy field, disintegrating and killing him instantly]
Gerald: AAH!
Tails: Whoo-hoo!
Knuckles: Victory!
Ivo: Say what you want about my granddad... He made one hell of a bug zapper. [blows on the quill and tosses it aside]
Tails: We've gotta stop that laser!
Ivo: I knew there was something I was forgetting.

Eggman: This is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, dedicating my final livestream to one very special henchman... [on a London jumbotron] Agent Stone.
Stone: No, no. Doctor, wait!
Eggman: If I can't rule the world, I might as well save it, for the one and only person who ever cared about me...
Stone: [pleadingly] Don't do this, Doctor, please!
Eggman: Stone, you were more than a sycophant to me. You were... a syco-friend. [Stone tears up] I'll miss your lattes with steamed Austrian goat milk. I love the way you make 'em! [Stone smiles emotionally] So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. [makes robotic noises and movements] It's been a real drag! Thanks for nothing. [the explosion seemingly engulfs both Eggman and Shadow as the Eclipse Cannon finally blows up.]
