Transcript
Narrator: "Espio had been to the works to be mended.

Some Robots and Badniks tricked him, and the chameleon fell into the turntable well.

Now, Espio was as good as new, but he was still worried about Robots and Badniks."

Espio: "I'd rather not use them."

Narrator: "He said to himself.

But the Robots and Badniks sang songs rude and loud.

D.U.F.U.S., their leader, led the Robots and Badniks."

D.U.F.U.S., Robots & Badniks: "Espio's no use at all, thinks he's very clever, says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever! When he orders us about, with the greatest folly, we ust push him down the well, Pop goes old Espio!"

Narrator: "Sonic, Rotor, and Tails were shocked."

Sonic, Tails, & Rotor: "Be quiet!"

Narrator: "They ordered.

But they couldn't be everywhere, and everywhere they weren't, the Robors and Badniks began again."

Perfectoids: "Espio's no use at all, thinks he's very clever, says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever!"

Narrator: "At last, the animals gave up."

Sonic, Tails & Rotor: "We're sorry, Espio."

Narrator: "They said."

Espio: "It's realy my fault."

Narrator: "Said Espio sadly."

Espio: "I shouldn't have fallen in the turntable well."

Narrator: "Chris, the Boy, felt sorry for Espio, too.

Next morning, he spoke to Bomb."

Chris: "I'm worried, Mr. Bomb. This disrespect for chameleons, when is it going to end?"

Bomb: "Who knows?"

Narrator: "Sighed Bomb."

Chris: "I've got a plan, Mr. Bomb. May I stay here today and help Mr. Espio? We are both Mobian citizens, and must stand together."

Bomb: "Certainly, Chris."

Narrator: "Replied Bomb, and puffed away.

Soon, Chris was explaining his plan.

Rotor: "Goodness Gracious, Chris, I don't think you should suggest such a thing to Espio."

Narrator: "But Espio interrupted."

Espio: "No, Rotor, Chris' right. It's really my fault. I must put this trouble right."

Chris: "I meant no disrespect, you understand."

Espio: "Of course not, Chris. Anyway, my animator says the same, and he's arranged it with the station master."

Rotor: "Very well, Espio."

Narrator: "Conceited Rotor."

Rotor: "But I must hurry; my passengers will be waiting. Good luck!"

Espio: "So long!"

Narrator: "Smiled Espio bravely, but he felt dreadfully nervous inside.

Espio marshalled the worst Perfectoids two by two."

Chris: "That's the way, Mr. Espio."

Narrator: "Whispered Chris."

Chris: "And if you leave that D.U.F.U.S. till' last, then you'll have him behind you, and you can bump him if he starts his nonsense."

D.U.F.U.S.: "Hold back, hold back!"

Narrator: "Whispered D.U.F.U.S."

D.U.F.U.S.: "And pass the word to the others."

Narrator: "The silly Robots and Badniks giggled.

But Espio knew what to do; there was plenty of sand on the ground and his feet gripped splendidly. He gave a great heave."

D.U.F.U.S.: "Oooh!"

Narrator: "Groaned D.U.F.U.S."

D.U.F.U.S.: "I don't like this!"

Rotor: "Go on!"

Narrator: "Yelled D.U.F.U.S."

Rotor: "Well done, boy, well done!"

D.U.F.U.S: "Ohhh!"

Narrator: "Wailed D.U.F.U.S."

D.U.F.U.S.: "I'm coming apart!"

Narrator: "And he did.

Then there was trouble."

King Acorn: "Well, Espio, so you don't know your own strength, is that it?"

Espio: "No, no, sir."

Narrator: "Said Espio nervously.

King Acorn inspected D.U.F.U.S."

King Acorn: "As I've thought; rotten fur, rusty bones. Maybe if we put your back together, you'll earn yourself a better name."

Narrator: "Nowadays, D.U.F.U.S. only takes the Perfectoids when the other animals are busy.

But they're always quick to warn each other,"

Perfectoids: "Take care with Mr. Espio, if you play tricks on him, you'll never be the same Robot and Badnik again!"

Narrator: "D.U.F.U.S. has learned his lesson, and says nothing at all."
