Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) Page #3

[Scene:
Wachowski residence, night]

[As Sonic leaves for the night, he takes one last look through the window and smiles a little from seeing the Wachowskis enjoy their movie]

Sonic (narrating): Perhaps afraid you'll be alone forever?

[Sonic frowns and departs]

[Scene Change:
Wachowski residence, night]

[Tom's truck pulls into the driveway and we see a couple of raccoons rummaging through the garbage bins and Tom honks his horn to try to get their attention]

Tom:
Uh-uh! Hey! No, no, no. Get out of there. [Exits the truck, annoyed and agitated] Come on. Oh, come on! Get out of there!

[The raccoons leave the trash behind]

Tom:
Get out of there, you trash pandas. [Walks in the door and closes it] Maddie, as Green Hill's most respected veterinarian, what is the fastest way to exterminate a raccoon?

[Tom sets his work bag up and Ozzie walks up to greet him]

Tom:
Hi, Ozzie! Hello! You're glad to see me!

[As Tom pets Ozzie, Maddie walks in holding an envelope]

Tom:
You don't eat garbage, do you? [Stands up after seeing Maddie with the envelope] What's that? Is that what I think it is?

Maddie:
[Nods] Uh-huh. Open it.

Tom:
[Walks to Maddie and takes the envelope, inspecting it] Oh, it's kind of small. Is that bad?

Maddie:
Just… open it. [Smiles with excitement and anticipation]

[Tom opens the envelope and both he and Maddie walk to the kitchen counter and Tom takes a deep breath and he reads a letter from the envelope]

Tom:
"Dear Thomas, we have reviewed your application to the San Francisco Police Department, and pending interdepartmental review and background check, we are happy to inform you that you have been selected to join our team."

Maddie:
[ecstatic] Aah! Oh, my God!

Tom:
Wow! Oh, my God!

[Maddie pulls out a pink box and sets it on the counter, and opens it to reveal a cake]

Maddie:
Ta-dah.

Tom:
[Looks at the cake and reads it] "San Francisco Sucks"?

[The cake shows a burning Golden Gate Bridge and blue letters reading "Forget Those Morons, San Francisco SUCKS!"]

Maddie:
Oh!

[Maddie realizes her mistake and puts the cake away]

Maddie:
Wrong one!

[Maddie pulls out a new box and opens it up to reveal another cake]

Maddie:
Ta-dah! [she giggles]

[The new cake shows the words "CONGRATULATIONS" in red letters at the top, "I Never Had A Doubt!" in blue letters at the bottom and a decorative portrait of a police officer in the center]

Tom:
You never had a doubt, huh?

Maddie:
No! Mm-mmm.

[Tom and Maddie hug and kiss each other]

Tom:
I can't believe this!

Maddie:
Oh, I know! You did it!

[Tom notices Maddie's laptop open]

Tom:
Hey, what are those?

Maddie:
Apartments for rent I found on Zillow.

[Her laptop shows a listing for apartments on the website]

Maddie:
I thought Ozzie and I could fly there tomorrow and check out some neighborhoods.

Tom:
I mean, this is all happening so fast.

[Tom walks to the dining room and sits down at the table]

Maddie:
Oh, man. It's the craziest thing. You apply for the job, you get the job.

[Maddie walks to the dining room and sits across from Tom]

Tom:
Well, pending a background check.

Maddie:
Oh, man. Hope they don't find out about that time you used the neighbor's Wi-Fi.

Tom:
Correction: I'm still using the neighbor's Wi-Fi. But, Maddie, are you sure you're okay with this?

Maddie:
Thomas Michael Wachowski, what did you do the entire time I was in veterinary school?

Tom:
I worked a second job to pay the rent and--

Maddie:
A third job to pay tuition. You sacrificed for me. I'm happy to sacrifice for you. [Both she and Tom smile] Babe, are you sure you're okay with this? I mean, there's been a Wachowski protecting this town for more than 50 years. This is a big change.

Tom:
I'm positive. [Gets up from the table] It's time for this guy to get out there and prove himself. [Walks over to Maddie] I love Green Hills, but, you know, I want to help people in real trouble. I want someone to turn to me in a life-and-death situation and I'll be there for ‘em. [Nods]

Maddie:
[nods] I get it. I'm so proud of you!

Tom:
Thank you.

[Both Tom and Maddie hug]

[Scene Change:
Road, day]

Tom:
And so, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you all that I've accepted a position at the San Francisco Police Department, effective immediately. It's gonna be tough to leave my hometown and all my friendships. But this is something I feel like I need to do to grow... as both an officer and a man.

[It is revealed that Tom was practicing his departure speech and reciting it to his hood ornament, a pink frosted sprinkled donut wearing sunglasses and wire limbs attached. Its sprinkles form a "mustache"]

Tom:
What do you think, Sergeant Sprinkles? That wasn't so bad, right? Now all I got to do is... tell everyone who isn't a donut.

[Scene Change:
Baseball diamond, day]

[Sonic is peeking from behind a tree, watching a baseball game]

Sonic:
Whoa, the playoffs!

[Sonic speeds over to the bleachers to watch the game up close and the players congratulating each other. Later on, everyone packs up and heads for home, leaving the baseball diamond completely empty. Sonic is now on the baseball diamond, admiring the beauty of it all]

Sonic:
Whoa! So cool!

[Sonic spots some baseball equipment and he plays the role of a batter at home plate]

Sonic:
Bottom of the 9th, tie score. And exactly who you want at the plate with the game on the line-- Sonic!

[Sonic is now playing the role of the pitcher for the opposing team]

Sonic:
But staring him down from the pitcher's mound is the most fearsome southpaw in Green Hills-- also Sonic!

[Sonic switches back to the batter]

Sonic:
Okay. Focus, Sonic. If you win this game, you'll be the most beloved kid in Green Hills.

[Playing the role of an infielder, Sonic does a secret code with his fingers, straightens his cap, slaps his face a few times, does a couple of armpit farts, flaps his hands and cups them against his mouth]

Sonic:
Hit it to the guy in left! He's a real space case.

[Playing the role of the left outfielder, Sonic blows a bubble of gum and resumes the role of the pitcher]

Sonic:
Ugh, I can't with that guy.

[Sonic plays the role of the umpire]

Sonic:
Hey, batter Sonic. Hey, batter Sonic. "Suh-wing," batter Sonic.

[As the pitcher, Sonic throws the ball and speeds to the batter position as the ball makes its way towards home plate and he hits the ball high. As the outfielder, he smells a flower in the grass and sees the ball]

Sonic:
I got it, I got it, I got it!

[Sonic tries to catch the ball but is unsuccessful]

Sonic:
I don't got it.

[As the batter, Sonic runs to first base and rounds second while he throws the ball as the outfielder and he dodges the ball in slow motion as the batter and he comes up to third base and plays the role of a teammate]

Sonic:
Go home! Go home!

[Sonic rounds third base and he plays the umpire again]

Sonic:
Come on!

[Sonic jumps up and makes a dive for home plate, the umpire catches the ball and he makes it]

Sonic:
Safe!

[Sonic slides to a stop and jumps with joy]

Sonic:
Ah, yes! Yes, yes, yes! I did it! Did you see that? I did it! I did it.

[Sonic holds up his hand, but sees that the baseball diamond is completely empty and silent]

Sonic:
I really am alone. All alone… forever.

[Sonic whips off the batter helmet and starts running around the perimeter of the baseball diamond at a very fast speed, his anger and sadness increasing and energy building with each lap. Finally, Sonic lets out a loud yell as a bright blue electromagnetic pulse explodes in the air, causing the lights in the baseball diamond to explode. The brilliant pulse blooms outwards and spreads across the valley. Several cities blackout, plunging into darkness. Even a satellite is disabled by the EMP]

Sonic:
I'm sure no one noticed that giant blue explosion, right? [Speeds away]
