(With anger and fury) Knuckles never runs away from a fight!

(About to fight Sonic) I'm not your buddy and don't you forget it, smart aleck! Now put 'em up! I didn't come here to sniff the flowers!

(With pride) You'll fail, unless you have me along. I can't wait to see the look on Sonic's face when he finds out that I helped defeat Dr Eggman while he missed out on the glory. That'll mess with his ego!
