01:00Don't lie to me, me.
01:01This thing stinks!
01:15Sonic! Wake up!
01:18What'd you say, Sugar Plum?
01:20Don't call me Sugar Plum. I'm not Amy.
01:23What? Sticks! What are you doing? Unhand my face!
01:26You gotta come with me to the TV studio. There's a red-eyed prowler up to no good.
01:31But I was right in the middle of a really sweet dream. I was dancing with Sugar Plums.
01:36You know when I say it out loud, I kind of regret having said it out loud.
01:39Whoa!
01:44But I saw him with my own two eyes! I smelled him with my nose! I smurfed him with my
01:49sixth sense!
01:50I'm going back to bed.
01:54That's the trouble with being a paranoid cook, when something really is going on.
01:58No one believes you.
01:59You can say that again.
02:00I know, right?
02:04And you saw him at midnight, all by yourself, in the empty village center, while finger painting?
02:09It's called Jiu-Jitsu realism, and it's the purest form for expressing the depths of my soul.
02:15Plus, I found 40 paint cans in my burrow and couldn't think of anything else to do with them.
02:21Tired, huh? Not me. I slept like a baby last night.
02:25No, really. An abandoned crib washed up on the beach.
02:28You know, Styx, sleep deprivation has been linked to an increase in delusional behavior.
02:32That can't be it. I never sleep.
02:34But I'm telling you, there was something fishy going on at that TV station, and I'm gonna prove it.
02:49Hello, my sleepy friends.
02:52This is the Dreamcaster, and I'm gonna take you on a magical journey.
02:57All you have to do is follow my silky voice to the land of sugar plums, where you want to
03:03go of your own free will, and not because you're hypnotized.
03:11Denizens of our village, you're all being brainwashed.
03:15Don't be fooled. A robot is controlling your thoughts.
03:19Wake up, sheeple!
03:20Sheeple is a negative term. We prefer sheep villagers.
03:25I'm writing a letter to that network.
03:27Your minds are being taken over by the Dreamcaster.
03:31Oh, jeez. Styx, what have you done now?
03:35I'm glad you're here!
03:38You guys ready to rage against the machine?!
03:42You! You destroyed my studio, you wacky broad!
03:45And I lost the insurance payment in a poker game!
03:49Hold on! I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
03:53There is. I had pocket deuces. Who doesn't go all in with pocket deuces?
03:56No. I meant a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this.
04:00The studio was destroyed by a brainwashing robot trying to invade your dreams through the television!
04:06Well, I'm 0 for 2.
04:07Styx, nobody's seen this robot but you.
04:10But he really exists! His name's Dreamcaster!
04:14That's the worst name I've ever heard.
04:16It's not so bad.
04:17Yeah, the er at the end is kind of nice.
04:19Look, we all agree the name is terrible, but he's hypnotizing you with dreams of sugarplums!
04:24Why can't you get it through your dumb heads?!
04:27As the proud owner of a dumb head, I don't like that you're talking down to me.
04:31And I don't care for your condescending altitude.
04:35Not sure if that was a clever pun, or if you have no idea what you're saying.
04:38Why can't it be both?
04:40I can't believe you guys don't trust me! I thought you were my friends!
04:53That's her, officer! The one who broke into my studio and went bananas!
05:01It wasn't me! It was Dreamcaster!
05:05If Comedy Chimp says it, it's gotta be true. After all, he is on TV.
05:14Oh man, I'm glad you guys showed up to...
05:18Arrest me!
05:18That's not where I was going with that sentence.
05:20Sorry, Styx. It's for your own good.
05:22Maybe a night in Old Stony Lonesome will clear your head.
05:27You have all earned your sugar plums.
05:39This is so depressing.
05:44Even Melancholy Harmonica Music Vol. 2 can't cheer me up.
05:47I can't believe my friends think I'm a wackading.
05:50What if my perception of reality really is distorted?
05:53Maybe this isn't my hand.
05:55Maybe it's my foot!
06:06You fools! I finally have you all under my control.
06:11And all it took was the power of television and a charmingly hypnotic robot.
06:16I don't find him particularly charming.
06:18I don't like to brag.
06:19I love to brag!
06:21And using the television antenna to broadcast dream-controlling mindwaves was a work of brag-worthy brilliance.
06:27It's a shame you're too humble to bring it up.
06:29The mind control began slowly, thanks to Dreamcaster's hypnotic commands.
06:34But it's now in full effect.
06:36Observe!
06:38Everyone, dance the dance of dreams.
06:48I knew it! I knew Dreamcaster was real!
06:51I guess my hand really is my hand.
06:57You weren't affected by Dreamcaster's control because you're the only one in town without a TV!
07:02What's wrong with you?
07:03What do you do on Saturday mornings?
07:05What are you talking about around the water cooler?
07:07I knew TV was just a big conspiracy to control everyone's minds!
07:12I'm not talking to you.
07:13You keep watching.
07:14A town full of sleepwalking minions is nice.
07:17But an entire planet full is better.
07:20Begin construction of the Super Slumber Satellite!
07:43Knuckles.
07:54Listen to Dreamcaster and fall into slumber.
08:03Taste the plums made of sugar and join us.
08:07We must fight delicious candy, fruit, things!
08:15Wow, I never pegged her for the cowardly type.
08:23Hypnotized minions!
08:25This is a glorious day!
08:27For me.
08:28For you, not so much.
08:29My evil influence will no longer be limited to this small village, but will spread to small and mid-sized
08:34villages all over the planet.
08:38I just want to point out they're not applauding because they're zombies.
08:41Not because they're unimpressed.
08:42Duly noted.
08:43When my plan is complete, Dreamcaster will broadcast worldwide, and I'll be unstoppable!
08:50Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
08:51And it all begins with just a press of this button.
08:55And then a flick of this switch.
08:57Then I gotta enter my keycode here.
08:59Scan my thumbprint.
09:01Swipe my ID badge.
09:03And finally!
09:05Not so fast, dead man!
09:07Fast?
09:08What part of that process seemed fast to you?
09:19Curses!
09:19A tinfoil hat!
09:21The only surefire way to protect from mind control!
09:24No matter.
09:24I still have my unstoppable army of sleepwalkers.
09:27Zombies, attack!
09:29Attack!
09:36Admittedly, not the most effective army.
09:38But still.
09:55Sticks?
09:56What's going on?
09:57Mind control!
09:58Now put these on Knuckles and Tails.
09:59I'll get Amy!
10:02Hey.
10:03I'm no longer in a mind-numbing stupor.
10:05I'm back to my regular stupor.
10:07Hey!
10:08Hey!
10:08Hey!
10:09Ah!
10:13Ah!
10:16Ah!
10:19Ah!
10:20Ah!
10:24Ah!
10:25Ah!
10:25Ah!
10:27Ah!
10:28Ah!
10:29Ah!
10:29Finally, I'm free!
10:31You know, this whole experience has been a metaphor for,
10:33for my entire life.
10:34No longer will I be just another face in the crowd.
10:36I'm gonna turn my life around!
10:38Look out, world!
10:39Wildcats coming at ya!
10:41Sorry to interrupt your epiphany.
10:42Kinda need this to fight bad guys.
10:45Ah!
10:48Ah!
10:50Ah!
10:51Ah!
10:51Ah!
10:51Ah!
10:52Ah!
10:53Ah!
10:54Ah!
10:56Ah!
10:57Ah!
10:57It's time for bed!
10:58And here's the lullaby.
11:00Ah!
11:01Pain!
11:05Ah!
11:07Ah!
11:12Ah!
11:14Ah!
11:16Ah!
11:18Ah!
11:19Ah!
11:21Ah!
11:22Ha ha! So much for my mind control scheme.
11:27We don't mind if you control us.
11:30That's pretty clever, Orbot. When we get back to the lair, I'm removing that witch ship.
11:36Well, aren't you going to apologize?
11:39Apologize for what? We were under mind control.
11:41It wasn't us. It was Dreamcaster talking.
11:44Really? So you don't think I'm nuts?
11:46Well, you know, I...
11:47Yeah.
