An hour later everyone except Till, Antoine, and Sally get up. 

MELISSA:
We're going to the bar, we'll be back in a couple hours.

SALLY:
Okay.

They leave.  The car is heard starting and being driven away. 

Two hours and three minutes later, base.  Till and Sally are watching "Amateur Home
Videos" on the Playboy Channel.  Antoine is sitting in the chair in the corner like he was
before.  Sonic and friends stumble in the door, drunk, and all laughing.  Sonic and
Knuckles sit on the couch.  Tails begins to stumble to a chair, but falls over and passes
out before he reaches it.  Melissa goes to the chair that Tails was going for, and sits
down in it.  Rotor, Latifah, and Tatum sit in other chairs.  Knuckles is leaning back on
the couch, with his arms spread out on the back of it. 

SALLY:
(looks at Sonic) What time is it?

SONIC:
(looks at Sally, drunken voice) Why are you wearing clothes?

SALLY:
Oh...okay.

Suddenly Sonic stands up and speaks rather loudly.

SONIC:
I am Santa Claus!

Sonic collapses face down onto the floor immediately following that.  Sally looks down at
him.

SALLY:
Damn.

A few minutes later Knuckles is still in the same exact position, and Tails and Sonic are
still passed out on the floor.  Rotor gets up and begins to walk across the living room. 
Knuckles looks at Rotor and reaches up to his sunglasses with his left hand, and slowly
takes them off.

KNUCKLES:
I'm gonna kick your ass.

Rotor stops and looks at Knuckles.  Knuckles stands up, and the moment he does, he falls
over, face down on the floor.  Rotor then continues walking. 

Scene 67

Half an hour later Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are now awake, sitting down on the couch,
and sober.
 
KNUCKLES:
(looks around) Hey, man.  This has nothing to do with anything, but what does anyone
here want to do for a living someday, man?

TILL:
I wanna work for Wizards of the Coast some day.  Make some damn Magic cards.

SALLY:
I'm gonna be a drug dealer.

Sonic looks at her.

SONIC:
A drug dealer?

SALLY:
(looks at Sonic) So?  It's good money.

SONIC:
Yeah, but the cops would be looking for you even more than they already are.

SALLY:
 Fine, I'll be a cheerleader.  That better?

SONIC:
How 'bout a stripper?  You're good at that.  Besides, that also pays pretty good money.

SALLY:
Yeah.  That might work.

KNUCKLES:
(looks at Sonic) What would you be?

SONIC:
Make movies, or something.

TAILS:
I'm gonna be a junkie when I grow up.

SALLY:
Yeah, I figured that.

KNUCKLES:
(looks at Antoine) How 'bout you, Twan?

ANTOINE:
 I don't know.

KNUCKLES:
He probably wants to be an astronaut, so he can go to Uranus and get fucked up the ass.

ANTOINE:
(looks at Knuckles) Fu tois!

KNUCKLES:
 (loud voice) No, Antoine, I will not go out with you, I'm not like that.

ANTOINE:
 FU TOIS!!!

SONIC:
He usually isn't that spastic.

KNUCKLES:
Probably a dick up his ass, or something.

Antoine gets up and storms outside. 

Scene 68

A few minutes later everyone is in the living room.  They all have bored expressions on
their faces. 

LATIFAH:
This blows.

TATUM:
Yeah, probably.

TAILS:
 I dunno.

SALLY:
That's your fault.

MELISSA:
What'd your dog say?

SONIC:
 I guess so.

ROTOR:
Yeah, that's it.

KNUCKLES:
Yup.

TILL:
Oh my God, they killed Kenny.

ANTOINE:
Fu tois.

SONIC:
Let's break something.

KNUCKLES:
Yeah.  It's one of those days.

MELISSA:
Okay, let's go.

They all get up and go out the door.  They close the door and stand outside, doing
nothing.  Just standing there, expressionless.

TATUM:
Wait a minute.

MELISSA:
What?

TATUM:
 I dunno, I forgot.

LATIFAH:
Good.

TATUM:
(voice picks up, quickly looks up at Latifah) Screw you!

ANTOINE:
Fu tois.

Knuckles looks at Antoine.

KNUCKLES:
Quief monkey.

ANTOINE:
Yeah, well ask your girlfriend, she'll tell you I am.

LATIFAH:
That doesn't quite work there.

ANTOINE:
 I know.

Suddenly Sally yells.

SALLY:
What the fuck is this?  What the hell is wrong with everyone?!

Everyone seems to snap out of it.

TILL:
Dude, what the hell happened?

SALLY:
Everyone was acting all weird, and shit.

Antoine turns his chin up in a snooty way.

ANTOINE:
Well, I wasn't.

Tails looks at him.

TAILS:
(sarcastic voice) You never do anything, do you?

ANTOINE:
Fu tois!

TAILS:
Eat shit and die.

ANTOINE:
Stupid little child.

TAILS:
I'll kick you in the nuts, you piece a shit!

ANTOINE:
Fu tois.

A mechanical grinding is heard from the distance.  Everyone looks around.

LATIFAH:
What the hell is that?

Rotor speaks up.

ROTOR:
 I'll go check it out.  Be right back.

Rotor walks into the forest.  Sally looks at Antoine.

SALLY:
You suck, Antoine.

ANTOINE:
 Fu tois.

SALLY:
Suck a dick..

Rotor runs back out of the woods, frantic.  He runs up to Sonic and friends.

ROTOR:
Word!  There's some BIG motherfucker comin' this way!!

The noise is heard fading away. 

ROTOR:
(suddenly calm voice) Oh, never mind.
