Sonic and Tails after the dance battle.
Tails: Wow! Only Sonic the Hedgehog could win a dance battle that epic!
Sonic: Well, stick with me, pal. Earth can be a scary place, but I know everything about this whole pale blue dot.
Tails: Do you... really mean that?
Sonic: I mean, not everything, but I watch a LOT of Discovery Channel, and...
Tails: I meant about... me being your pal.
Sonic: Of course, buddy.
[Tails hugs Sonic.]
Sonic: Oh-ho-ho, coming in hot!
Tails: Growing up, I didn't have any friends. Everyone in my village thought my two tails were weird.
Sonic: Hey, I know that feeling.
Tails: But then I saw you. The fastest creature in the galaxy. You were weird, too. But you were a legend. That made me think, maybe being weird isn't so bad. You inspired me to leave my village, to find you and help you in your mission!
Sonic: I'm really glad you're here, Tails.
Tails: I'm glad I'm here too, Sonic.
Sonic: (yawns) Might as well get some sleep. This feels like a good place to spend the night. You'll be able to get clear readings on your gizmo thing once the storm is over. So I...
[Sonic sees that Tails is already fast asleep. He wraps a blanket around him.]
Sonic: Night, Tails.
[Tails drapes his two tails around Sonic as they sleep.]
Sonic: Well, stick with me, pal. Earth can be a scary place, but I know everything about this whole pale blue dot.
Tails: Do you... really mean that?

Knuckles revealing the first hints towards Sonic that he's not as one-dimensional as the hedgehog thinks he is.
Knuckles: You mock me with your weak jokes, yet you know nothing about me, hedgehog.
Sonic: Well, I know you echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life!
Knuckles: Ruining your life!? Another bad joke! I lost everything because of you!
Sonic: Well, I know you echidnas have a habit of showing up uninvited and ruining my life!
Knuckles: Ruining your life!? Another bad joke! I lost everything because of you!
(Flashback to the Echidna village.)
Knuckles: My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory. The last of the owl warriors have been located. Soon, Longclaw's emerald secrets would be ours. But my father stopped me from joining the fight. He said my moment to honor our tribe will come, but it was not this moment. Those were the last words he spoke to me.
(The flashback ends.)
Knuckles: I never saw him again.
Sonic: (sadly) We both lost everything that day...
Sonic: (sadly) We both lost everything that day...
Robotnik betrays Knuckles.
Knuckles: (about to crush Sonic with a boulder) Say goodbye, hedgehog!
[Sonic panics as he sees Robotnik getting his hands on the Emerald.]
Sonic: Knuckles, stop! Robotnik's stealing the Emerald!
Knuckles: What kind of fool do you take me for?
Sonic: Just look!
[Knuckles does so.]
Robotnik: Mine!
Knuckles: (stops him) WAIT! That wasn't the deal!
Robotnik: (sarcastically) Oh, you poor naïve creature... It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would've seen this move coming a mile away. Or 1.6 kilometers.
Knuckles: (angered and betrayed) But I trusted you! You were my friend!
Robotnik: (laughs maniacally for a moment) I'm sorry, that just hit me funny. Let this be my final lesson to you, you dimwitted celestial skintag. Friends are open, honest and vulnerable with each other, which means X square times the hypotenuse of Y square divided by the absolute value of friendship equals... DOOKIE!
Sonic: (looks on with dread) Oh, no!
[Robotnik lays his hands on the Emerald, blasting away both Sonic and Knuckles.]
Robotnik: CHAOS... IS... POWER!
[Robotnik disappears with the Emerald causing the whole temple to crumble in ruins.]

Sonic and Knuckles, washed up on the beach, decide to team up.
- Sonic: You saved me?
Knuckles: Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood. (Sonic throws a sandball at him.) How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow?! (gets hit by another sandball from Sonic)
Sonic: Why did you save me? (A large sandball from Knuckles almost completely buries him.)
Knuckles: Because you saved me first, which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand.
Sonic: (shakes sand off of himself) It wasn't a tactic. I couldn't just let you die.
Knuckles: (taken aback) Why? I've been trying to destroy you since the moment we met.
Sonic: Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It's about taking responsibility for other people.
Knuckles: (sits down) Hm. Wise words. An ancient Earth proverb?
Sonic: No, sir. That's a Wachowski family special. I got it from a guy in a rowboat. Someone who means a lot to me. (an engine sound is heard) Wait a second. What's that sound?
(Sonic spots an airplane in the distance, with Tails piloting it.)
Tails: Only Sonic the Hedgehog needs rescuing this much!
Sonic: Haha! That sly little fox! (turns to Knuckles, who's in a moment of contemplation) Come on, Knucklehead—we're not beat yet.
Knuckles: On the mountain, you told me you lost everything, the way I did. But you seem so hopeful and free. How did you move forward despite failing again, and again, and again, and again...?
Sonic: Ok, I didn't fail that much. But I didn't do this all alone. I found a new family, new friends. And you can too. (extends his hand to Knuckles) You don't have to be alone anymore.
(After a brief moment, Knuckles takes Sonic's hand, accidentally crushing it.)
Sonic: Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW! Are you kidding me with that handshake?!
Sonic makes a realization as he, Tails and Knuckles fight together against Robotnik's robots.
Sonic: I know what [Robotnik's] weak spot is...it's me! I'M the 'groin'!
(Knuckles throws Sonic, in his ball form, towards a nearby robot, while Tails grabs him in mid-air to swing around to defeat more robots before running towards the Death Egg Robot.)
Sonic: Think about it; I live rent-free in this dude's head. So if I go out there, and rile him up...
Knuckles: He'll focus on only you, leaving himself open to a flanking maneuver from me and the fox! Hedgehog, you are a brave and noble warrior! Go now to your certain death with honor!
Sonic: We're gonna have to work on your pep talk, pal.
Tails: Hehe, yeah!
Sonic: Let's go!
