TANGLE - Hold on, you said that the leftover Badniks are getting more organized, right?
TANGLE (Worried) - Doesn’t matter. The point is that they’re getting more dangerous. What if the war was just the beginning? What if there’s something even worse on the way?
———————————————
TANGLE (Teasingly Pestering) - You’re not using your mind-powers to cheat, are ya?
TANGLE (Badgering) - [Gets under SILVER’s skin.] Or maybe you’re using your future knowledge, huh?…
TANGLE (Joking Aside) -
Relax! I’m just messing with ya.

TANGLE (Freaking-Out) - [Bangs on the safe door repeatedly.] NO-NO-NO! LET ME OUT! F-FIGHT ME OUT IN TH-THE OPEN! HELLO?! YOU JERK! OPEN UP RIGHT NOW!!! [Catches her breath to save some air.] (Claustrophobically Thinks to Herself) Don’t! Can’t pass out again. Can’t use up the air. It’s dark. Just…. Forget you’re enclosed and…. Umm….
TANGLE (Understandably Saddened) - [Wipes away a tear.] (Sniffs) [Sits beside WHISPER on the safe.] Okay, you got a hurt, and it runs deep. I’m thinking you’re long overdue for talking about it. So let it all out. I’ll shut up, I’ll listen.
———————————————
TANGLE (Saddened and Understanding) - You’ve been carrying some serious baggage all on your own. I see that now. Let me help. Tell me what happened. What did Mimic do to you?
TANGLE (Truthfully Reassuring) - They all sound like awesome friends. Now you gotta tell me what happened. I mean, I can figure out the details, but I think you need to get it off your chest because it’s eating you up inside.
TANGLE (Calmly Reassuring) - If you can’t confront it right now, I understand. But the more you can share, the more I can help you. Please?…..
TANGLE (Thinking It Over) - Okay…. So I’ve got a pretty good timeline of everything now. That only leaves one question…. (Curiously Concerning) Why leave me behind? Mimic is dangerous, and not because of what he can do, but because he’s in your head. If not me, then Sonic, Amy, Tails, somebody! Anybody?!
TANGLE (Admittedly Aware But Determined) - Well…. Yeah. Which means he gets double the payback! We’ll bring him down and make him regret every lousy, nasty thing he’s ever done! (Considerate) I know how he works at firsthand now. He won’t trick me again. He doesn’t stand a chance next time!

TANGLE (Excitedly) - Yeah! No! Maybe!? I mean sure, I miss home. But I’m on a floating tropical paradise! I fought a giant robot dragon, and survived! The past few days have been so crazy and cool! I don’t think I can ever go back to my old life!
TANGLE (Hilariously) - Oh yeah, she’s a riot! She just told me the funniest joke! [Nudges WHISPER.] Go on.
Tell him! Y’know, the one about the toaster? [WHISPER leaves an awkward pause of silence for a moment before SONIC’s ready to run.] (Confused) What did I say?
———————————————
TANGLE (Confesses) - (Sighs) I’m sorry for being such a pest, it’s just…. After everything I’ve done with Sonic, things are so boring here! I fought robot invasions, and flying battleships! I met a fiery princess from another dimension! I pulled the wings off a giant, freakin’ robo-dragon! (Slumps in Dissatisfaction) And now I come home to peace and quiet. I can’t stand it anymore.
TANGLE (Excitedly Agrees) - Hey yeah! Tangle & Whisper! Kicking butt together again! [Claps her hands.] Hey! Wisps! We’ve got a mission! (Heroically) Let no Eggman crony, robot or otherwise, sleep well tonight! Because Tangle & Whisper are on the case! And we’ve got a whole wave of wisps backing us up!
———————————————
TANGLE (Excitedly Bouncing) - [Happy to greet WHISPER who decided to visit her town.] WOO-HOO! You came! You really came!
TANGLE (Mirthful) - [Rushes in to give her a hug.] It feels like forever since our last adventure! It’s so cool to have friends come to visit! Especially when the town isn’t being bombarded even! [WHISPER slightly pushes her away with her wispon, reminding her to keep her distance.] (Forgetful) Whoops! Right. Boundaries. My bad.
