[Scene Change:
Road, day]

[Sonic and Tom are now riding on the open road in Tom's truck]

Tom:
All right, pal, you need to start talking right now. Who are you? WHAT are you?

Sonic:
I'm a hedgehog! I feel like that's obvious. And I'm in big trouble.

Tom:
Oh, you're in big trouble? You're not the one who punched some government weirdo back there.

Sonic:
You think you have problems? I lost my Rings!

Tom:
Rings? What are you talking about?

Sonic:
Okay, Rings are how all advanced cultures travel between worlds. And now mine are on top of a pointy building I've only ever seen on your skintight T-shirt.

Tom:
[Sounds offended] Hey.

Sonic:
So, I'd like you to take me to San Francisco so I can get back my Rings and use them to go to the Mushroom Planet.

Tom:
Mushroom Planet.

Sonic:
Yes!

Tom:
Right. [Pulls over to the side of the road] Okay, pal, [Opens the passenger side door] out you go.

Sonic:
I'm sorry, what?

Tom:
Look, this is the worst possible time for me to get myself into trouble, okay? You asked me to save your life, I saved your life. Now, please, go find your Rings and your mushroom land. Hopefully I'm gonna wake up in a hospital bed and the doctor's gonna tell me that my colonoscopy was a big success. Okay? So, goodbye.

Sonic:
Okay. Goodbye. [Steps out of the truck]

Tom:
Goodbye. [Notices Sonic is still standing next to the truck] Why aren't you leaving?

Sonic:
I don't know where San Francisco is.

Tom:
It's west.

Sonic:
West?

Tom:
Straight shot, can't miss it.

Sonic:
Fine. That's cool. I'm totally cool saying goodbye now.

[Sonic speeds off in the direction Tom gave him, but he comes back to the truck, now soaking wet and covered in seaweed with a fish on his head]

Sonic:
So, as I crashed into the cold, dark water of the Pacific, I realized a few things. A, I have no idea where I'm going. B, saltwater stings. C, I shouldn't even be on this planet right now, but I am! Why?! Because you shot me!

Tom:
I know.

Sonic:
You shot me!

Tom:
All right, I heard you the first time. You don't have to... pile it on. Good grief.

Sonic:
[Extends his thumb] I'm wet, [Extends his finger] I'm cold, [Opens his hands] there's a fish on my head! And clearly, I'm not going to be able to do this on my own.

[Tom looks at Sonic as the fish falls off his head]

Tom:
[Sighs] All right, get in the truck.

Sonic:
Really? [Shakes himself off really quickly, puffing up his fur] You're gonna help me?!

Tom:
I guess it is a little bit my fault that all this is happening to you.

Sonic:
Not a little bit, entirely. It is ENTIRELY your fault.

Tom:
Okay, it's entirely my fault. Are you coming?

Sonic:
Yes.

[Sonic shakes himself off again, his fur going back to normal and he climbs back into the truck and closes the door]

Sonic:
Road trip! Whoop, whoop!

Tom:
[Sighs] What am I doing?

[Scene:
Foothills, day]

[Sonic and Tom are driving through the foothills, continuing their journey]

Tom:
All right, there's gonna be rules on this trip. Number one, do exactly as I say all the time. Got it?

Sonic:
[Gives Tom a little salute with his fingers] Got it, Donut Lord.

Tom:
Would you stop with the "Donut Lord"?! I have a name. It's Tom.

Sonic:
I'm Sonic.

Tom:
Sonic. Sonic. So you've been spying on us all these years?

Sonic:
I mean, I wouldn't call it "spying." We were all just hanging out, only I wasn't invited and no one knew I was there.

Tom:
I can't believe Crazy Carl was right all this time!

Sonic:
Yeah, you should call him Super Observant Carl instead.

Tom:
Uh-huh.

Sonic:
Oh, my God, stop the car right now! [Gets up and leans out the open window]

Tom:
What, what?! What?

[They pass a billboard advertising the World's Largest Rubber Band Ball]

Sonic:
"The World's Largest Rubber Band Ball"? We gotta see it!

Tom:
No, no. No, this is not some fun family road trip, okay? The government wants to dissect you and arrest me. This is serious.

[Sonic gives Tom a bored frown, speeds out of the truck and comes back in the blink of an eye with souvenirs like a baseball cap and some small rubber band balls]

Sonic:
Eh, you're right. It was lame. Gift shop was cool, though!

[Sonic shows a mouse pad that reads "I ❤️ Rubber Band Balls" to Tom]

Sonic:
I got you a mouse pad. When are we gonna get here?

[Sonic holds up a paddle ball and plays with it at a very fast speed while looking at Tom with a playful smile]

Tom:
We will get here when we get here!

[Sonic continues playing with the paddle ball]
