Uncle Joe: Oh, you mean that whole bit about how no one cares about honor or courage until everyone who fought against you is already dead. Yeah, yeah, and that when you get right down to it, what wins wars is strength, not—
Tom: I never said that.
Aunt Leah: Oh, sorry, was that Jake? My mistake, we're always mixing you two up—

Nega-Bushroot: Gosalyn's guardian is Negaduck.

Sonic: Come on, little buddy...
Nine: Stop calling me that! You just assumed I'd go along with you no matter what! Did you even consider what I wanted?
Sonic: I assumed that after everything we've been through, you'd see things the way I do...just like the real Tails would.
Nine: I AM REAL! ...Just not your real friend.
