This is the transcript for Sonic X episode "Emerald Anniversary".

[Scene: Area 99, day.]

[Government workers are working on a robot. Supervisor is presenting the robot to the Director of Central Intelligence.]

Supervisor: It's very impressive isn't it?

Director of Central Intelligence: That's it?

Supervisor: Project Beetle is just a prototype, of course, based on our analysis of Dr. Eggman's technology. But if all goes as planned, we'll soon have our own working robot.

Director of Central Intelligence: The president considers this project to be a national priority.

Supervisor: We won't let him down.

[Scene Change: Station Square, day.]

[Rouge and Topaz are sitting in front of a jewelry store. Rouge is hanging in a tree with the Treasure Scope while Topaz is drinking coffee.]

Rouge: What a fabulous display. I wish I had a rock collection like that.

Topaz: You're a thief!

Rouge: I haven't stolen them yet Topaz!

Topaz: So, then you are planning a robbery, aren't you? Excuse me, could somebody get the police and tell them there's a thief hanging around here!?

[People turn towards Rouge and Topaz. Rouge startles and hides.]

Rouge: [Comes back down] I know why you are so passive-aggressive towards me. You're jealous of me, because I'm the glamorous team member.

Topaz: If you think I'm the least bit jealous of you, then you really are bats. Huh?

[A limo drives in front of the jewelry store. Black suited security people come out and secure the entrance. Nelson Thorndyke then comes out from the limo.]

Man 1: That's Nelson Thorndyke!

Man 2: The computer mogul?

Woman: What a hunk.

[Rouge and Topaz are wondering what is Nelson doing here.]

[Scene Change: Inside the store.]

Jewelers: Good morning!

Nelson: Hello.

Male jeweler: Thank you for visiting our store, Mr. Thorndyke. Is there something we can help you find today?

Nelson: Yes, I'm shopping for an anniversary present for my wife.

Male jeweler: You've come to the right place, sir. We've got full line matrimonial mementos, guaranteed to make every anniversary golden.

Nelson: [Notices a blanketed item] What's under there?

Male jeweler: You have exquisite taste, sir. This item was acquired recently and it is truly one of a kind.

[The male jeweler takes off the blanket, revealing the purple Chaos Emerald. The Emerald emits a shining light and everyone outside, including Rouge and Topaz, are amazed.]

Nelson: It's a perfect gift! That's it! Lindsey is simply wild about jewelry. How long will it take you to have a ring ready?

Male jeweler: But, isn't that gem a tad large for a ring?

Nelson: My wife definitely likes flashy jewelry. It's our wedding anniversary, and I want to get her something special. I can't wait to see Lindsey's face, when I slip it on her finger. Her birthday is coming up. I'll tell you what, give me a couple of diamonds, too.

Male jeweler: Uh, sure.

[Nelson leaves the store with the Chaos Emerald.]

Jewelers: Thank you very much, Mr. Thorndyke. Please feel free to stop by our store any time.

[As Nelson leaves, Rouge and Topaz look at each other, coming up with a plan. Title sequence, "Gotta Go fast".]

[Scene Change: Thorndyke residence, day.]

[The phone rings.]

Tanaka: Hello. This is the Thorndyke residence.

[Scene Change: Nelson's car, day.]

Nelson: Hello, Tanaka. How's everything going at home?

[Scene Change: Thorndyke residence, day.]

Tanaka: Everyone is doing very well here, Mr. Thorndyke. Mr. Chris, I have Mr. Thorndyke on the line for you.

Chris: Cool, thanks.

Tails: Hold on, I thought Chuck was here.

Amy: He is.

Chris: [Takes the phone from Tanaka] Thank you. [To the phone] Hey, how's it going dad? Are calling from the office or are you traveling?

Amy: Chris' father is Mr. Thorndyke on the phone. If it was Chuck, he'd say "Hello, grandpa."

Tanaka: Right. It is Mr. Nelson Thorndyke.

Amy: You see? I'm right.

Tails: Yeah, now it's clear.

Chris: [To the phone] She's not here. Mom is at Filmdom City this whole week acting in a movie. If you need to reach her, you can call her at the studio, though. Okay, I'll be there.

[Scene Change: Nelson's car, day.]

Nelson: [To his security personnel] I've changed my mind. I want to go to Filmdom City right away.

Guard: Yes sir!

[Scene Change: Thorndyke residence, day.]

Chris: That's weird. My dad wants us all to go to Filmdom City, but he won't say why.

Amy: Filmdom City!? Where the movie stars live. Yeah!! Let's go!

Cream: It sounds like fun. Right, Cheese?

Cheese: Chao.

[Scene Change: Chuck's lab, day.]

[Tails sets three Chaos Emeralds on the X Tornado.]

Tails: We're all set.

Chris: So Tails, how many Chaos Emeralds do you need now?

Tails: We have four, and Knuckles is holding one. We need seven.

Chris: Wow, just two more.

Tails: Yeah, but we have to be real careful now, when we add the new Chaos Emerald to the ones we have already. The four Chaos Emeralds we have now are okay, because they've had time to adapt to each other. But if we add a new Emerald without following the right steps, it can cause an electromagnetic reaction that we can't control, and we'll be in major trouble. The last time they were all brought together, it was a disaster.

Chris: Huh, it sounds tricky.

Amy: Hey, aren't you forgetting we're supposed to meet your father at Filmdom City now.

Chris:: Yeah, sorry.

[The X Tornado takes off. Sonic jumps to the rear of the plane.]

Sonic: Filmdom City, eh? I've never been there.

[In a café Mr. Stewart is having a coffee, when he sees the X Tornado.]

Mr. Stewart: Haah! The X Tornado! [Runs to his car ands starts it] I better see what those kids are up to.

[Scene Change: Filmdom City, day.]

[Nelson is looking at the Chaos Emerald. Knocks are heard on a door. Nelson shuts the jewel case.]

Nelson: Yes, come in.

Chris: Hi, dad!

Nelson: Hello, son! [Chris and Nelson hug] Thanks for coming Chris. Boy, am I glad to see you.

[Sonic carries a Chaos Emerald, which reacts to something.]

Nelson: Sonic, how are you? You know, that race you won was really amazing.

Sonic: Thanks a lot.

Chris: Hey dad, I want you to meet some of my other friends who came along. This is Tails.

Tails: [Little excited] Nice to meet you. Hello.

Chris: Amy.

Amy: [Elegantly] Hello.

Chris: And here is Cream and Cheese.

Cream: Hello, sir.

Chris: And this is my teacher, Mr. Stewart.

Everyone: Mr. Stewart's here!? No way!

Mr. Stewart: Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nelson: So, how is my son doing at school?

Mr Stewart: He's a model student, Mr. Thorndyke.

Chuck: Is there a reason we're here? Or did we travel all this way just to say hello?

Nelson: You mean I didn't tell you. This is a very special day.

[Scene Change: Film set.]

[Nelson's fantasy is shown.]

Director: Let's try one more take. Try to get it right this time, people. Ready? And action!

Lindsey: The prince swore he would return some day, and I know he'll keep his word. Huh!? Is it really you? My true love. [long silence] Why, Nelson!?

Nelson: Here, Lindsey. With my love. [shows the Chaos Emerald. Lindsey gasps] You haven't forgotten what today is, have you dear.

Thorndyke household: Happy wedding anniversary to the Thorndykes!

Lindsey: I don't know what to say! Thank you all!

Thorndyke household, Tails, Amy and Cream: Congratulations!

Cheese: Chao chao!

Lindsey: Thank you, honey!

[The fantasy ends. Scene changes back to the previous room.]

Nelson: So, what do you think?

Chuck: Well...

Tanaka: That almost as original as the time when you wished her a happy birthday by skydiving on to her set.

Ella: I guarantee you're going to leave Ms. Thorndyke totally speechless.

Nelson: That's what I'm going for.

Chris: Surprising mom with that ring while she is filming is a great idea.

Tanaka: A wonderful plan, sir.

Ella: Hey, you can give me jewelry anytime.

[Rouge and Topaz are shown inside the vent shaft.]

Nelson: Now honestly [Opens the jewel case], do you really think she likes it, Ella?

[Nelson's Emerald and Sonic's Emerald then start to react to each other, causing electromagnetic reaction between them.]

Ella: Oh my! It's amazing!

Sonic: What's going on here!?

[The reaction grows stronger. Everyone gasps. An energy beam is generated that leads to the sky.]

[Scene Change: Egg Fort II, day.]

[Dr. Eggman is sleeping.]

Decoe: I am bored out of my circuits.

Bocoe: I would give left servo motor for a little excitement. [Alarm blares] Huh!? What is this? Dr. Eggman! We have detected a Chaos Emerald!

Dr. Eggman: [Wakes up with a shock and falls] You'd better not be joking. Where? Show me!

Bocoe: There. In Filmdom City.

Dr. Eggman: Right! Set a course for Filmdom City on the double!!

[Scene Change: Filmdon City.]

[Knuckles is running and gliding. His red Chaos Emerald has detected another Emerald.]

Knuckles: There's a Chaos Emerald somewhere around here. That Emerald could be anywhere in this city. [Notices the energy beam] I found it!

[Scene Change: Film studio room.]

[The reaction between the two Emeralds breaks down lights and a TV. Nelson closes the jewel case. The reaction stops and everyone gasps.]

Nelson: Just what is going on here?

Tanaka: The filming is about to begin. You should go get changed, sir.

Nelson: Yeah. You're right.

[Nelson and Tanaka leave the room, followed by Chris and Chuck.]

Rouge: Thorndyke doesn't know how valuable that gem really is.

[Chris and Chuck leave the room.]

Amy: Now what? That ring is made from a Chaos Emerald, isn't it?

Sonic: We need that Emerald to get home, but now it looks like Chris' mother will be wearing it on her finger.

Tails: We should talk about it with Chris, but let's wait till after the surprise party is over.

[As the Thorndyke household moves towards the film set, Mr. Stewart jumps to another hallway.]

Mr. Stewart: Calling Homeroom. I have just detected a possible Chaos Emerald. Will retrieve.

[Scene Change: Film set.]

[Everyone is set for Nelson's surprise. Knuckles arrives.]

Knuckles: Hello, Sonic.

Sonic: Hey there, Knuckles. What's cracking?

Knuckles: You tell me.

Sonic: To be honest, I'm not really sure.

Director: Let's try one more take. Try to get it right this time, people. Ready? And action!

Lindsey: The prince swore he would return some day, and I know he'll keep his word. Huh!? Is it really you?

[Nelson suddenly trips, and the case with the Chaos Emerald opens and the Emerald drops out. The electromagnetic reaction between Nelson's and Sonic's Emerald's goes off again, with Knuckles' Emerald also reacting to the new Emerald.]

Nelson: Oh no! The ring!

Lindsey: [Takes off Nelson's wig] Nelson?

Nelson: Lindsey.

[The reaction grows stronger. Egg Fort II arrives.]

Bocoe: We are closing in on the Chaos Emerald.

Decoe: Look, Doctor!

Dr. Eggman: What? [Notices the light beam from the Emeralds]. Heh heh hee! That light beam will lead us straight to the Emerald. LET'S GO!!

[At the film set, the reaction between the three Emeralds destroys several lights and equipment.]

Sonic: Put that ring back in the box right away!!

[Tanaka takes the case and closes the Chaos Emerald inside it. The reaction stops.]

Tanaka: I think perhaps we should move off the set. Sir?

Lindsey: What in a world has gotten in to you?! We're shooting the most important scene in the entire movie!

Nelson: I was only trying to surprise you, honey.

Chris: This isn't going like my dad planned at all.

Nelson: Sorry, I forgot I married a movie star!

Lindsey: Well, how would you like it if I stumbled into one of your shareholder meetings and make a complete fool of myself!?

Nelson: At least I care enough to come and see you!

Lindsey: What is that supposed to mean?! Are you insinuating that I don't care?!

Chuck: Now now, calm down.

Nelson and Lindsey: [to Chuck] Butt out!!

Mr. Stewart: Homeroom, will you alert the Crisis Team to standby?

Knuckles: Sonic, we need that ring.

Sonic: I know, but it won't be easy to get.

Knuckles: Let's just tell them we need it to get home.

Sonic: We can't spoil their anniversary.

[A loud crash sounds. Egg Fort II has crashed to the studio wall. Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe run towards Sonic & co.]

Decoe and Bocoe: Hand over that Chaos Emerald!!

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles: [Not surprised] It's Eggman, of course! [All three run out]

[In a dinosaur-movie set, Eggman chases Sonic.]

Sonic: This way, Eggman!

Eggman: [crashes into the dinosaur model] I'll get you, Sonic!

[Decoe chases Knuckles into a space-movie set. Decoe stumbles into a space probe-set. Tails leads Bocoe into a ship-movie set. Bocoe loses his footing and Tails catches him, only to drop him into water a second later.]

Rouge: With all this confusion, now is the perfect time to make my move. [flies away]

Topaz: Rouge!

[Nelson and Lindsey are still looking angrily at each other with when Rouge suddenly grabs the Chaos Emerald case, snapping them out of their fury when Nelson realizes Rouge stole Lindsey's gift.]

Nelson: Where's the ring?! [notices Rouge in the air] Hey, you give that back to me!

Rouge: Sorry, but this gem is really a Chaos Emerald, which is far too precious to use in jewelry, even as someone as glamorous as me.

[Having failed to notice Eggman, he grabs the case from Rouge. Rouge gasps.]

Eggman: Let's make sure this Emerald is real. [opens the case] Fantastic! We hit the jackpot!

Rouge: Hand it back, Eggman!

Eggman: No way, it's mine now!

Topaz: [jumps on the Egg Mobile to help Rouge] Give it up!

Eggman: Get away! Decoe, Bocoe, come and help me! Hurry!

Decoe: [stops chasing Knuckles] Yes, doctor!

Bocoe: [stops chasing Tails] Coming!

Mr. Stewart: [runs to catwalk over a pool and speaks to his communicator] Doctor Eggman is trying to escape with the Emerald!

Topaz: Come on, drop it!

Eggman: I'd rather drop you! [Presser the accelerator and speeds up the Egg Mobile, making it hard for Rouge and Topaz to hold on. He then hits the brake, sending both women flying towards Mr. Stewart.]

Mr. Stewart: Ladies, please, I... [Rouge and Topaz crash on him and all three fall to the pool. Eggman laughs.]

Sonic and Knuckles: Eggman! Hand over that Chaos Emerald or else!

Eggman: Or else, what?! [presses a button] Weazo, get rid of these clowns!

[Eggman summons E-74 Weazo to attack the Thorndykes. Nelson, Lindsey, and Chris gasp in horror as it makes its entrance and touches down with a crash.]

Sonic and Knuckles: Not a another robot!

[Weazo shoots flames from it's nose and moves closer to the Thorndykes.]

Nelson: [Steps in between Weazo and his family] You get away! Don't you dare harm my family!

Tanaka: Hold it, chump! [Weazo turns to look at him] Before you lay your claws on the Thorndyke family, you must get past me! [Makes kung fu moves along with appropriate noise. Weazo starts to wave it's tail.] Well robot, do you feel lucky?

[Weazo smashes it's tail on Tanaka, sending him flying into a wall]

Knuckles: What's wrong with that guy?

Sonic: Too many kung fu-movies!

[Weazo moves closer to the Thorndykes as they stand still, frozen with horror. Suddenly someone grabs onto his tail and he stops to look. That someone is Knuckles, who grunts.]

Knuckles: Leave them alone, Weazo!

[Weazo sends Knuckles flying into crates.]

Sonic: You won't win that easy! [Spin attacks Weazo, causing it to fall] Come on!

[Sonic runs away and Weazo gives chase.]

[Scene Change: Egg Fort II] 

[Eggman is wearing the Chaos Emerald on his finger.]

Eggman: [Laughs] Soon I'll steal the rest of the Emeralds, too.

Bocoe: This one sure is impressive.

Decoe: It looks very powerful.

[Scene Change: Film studio] 

[Weazo is firing flames at Sonic. Sonic runs past a dinosaur movie-set, burning a fire breathing dinosaur piece. Sonic runs into a dead end in an ocean set.]

Sonic: It's a dead end!

[Weazo arrives and starts shooting flames at Sonic as he tries to run away, to no avail.]

Sonic: I can't get away!

Knuckles: [running] SONIC! Hey, Sonic, where are you!?

[Knuckles finds Sonic at the ocean set. It looks like Sonic and Weazo are underwater.]

Knuckles: They're fighting in... water?

[The set is actually a special water tank, which makes the room on the other side to look like it's underwater.]

Knuckles: Now I see. [Weazo fires it's flamethrower.] Listen, Sonic! Jump up now!

[Sonic jumps as Knuckles breaks the water tank, causing the room to flood. The water causes Weazo's flamethrower to stop functioning. Knuckles charges at Weazo.]

Knuckles: You're through!

[Knuckles punches Weazo and Sonic spin attacks it, destroying it.]

[Scene change: Egg Fort II]

[Eggman has witnessed Weazo's destruction.]

Eggman: I think I'll cut Sonic a break and call it quits today.

Decoe and Bocoe: Good idea!

[The Egg Fort II flies away]

Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe: Thanks for the Chaos Emerald! [All three laugh]

[Scene Change: Film studio]

Nelson: Are you all right?

[Chris and Lindsey hug Nelson]

Lindsey: You protected us dear.

Nelson: Of course. You're my family.

Chuck: This surprise party certainly was surprising.

Ella: I'm all upset that Eggman stole Mrs. Thorndyke's new ring. That gemstone was so pretty.

Tanaka: [Feels dishonored and is about to rip off his uniform] I have failed in my duties! I don't deserve this uniform!

Chris:: Hold on! The important thing is we're all here to celebrate mom and dad's anniversary.

Lindsey: And besides, Tanaka, it isn't your fault that my ring was stolen.

Tanaka: Thank you.

Chris: Hey! Let's all wish my mom and dad a very happy anniversary!

Thorndyke household, Tails, Amy and Cream: And many more!

Cheese: Chao! Chao!

[Confetti blasts the room.]

Nelson and Lindsey: Thank you, everybody!

Thorndyke household, Tails, Amy and Cream: Congratulations!

Sonic: It all worked out okay.

Knuckles: Oh yeah, except for Eggman getting away with a Chaos Emerald, it went just perfect.

Rouge: [Watches Sonic and Knuckles] Sonic has four Chaos Emeralds and Knuckles has one. Even Doctor Eggman has one Emerald and now we're the only ones who don't have any. When the last Chaos Emerald is found and all seven are brought together, it will be a real blast. I'll get those Emeralds no matter what!

[The episode ends. End credits play with "Gotta go fast".]
