The title card for The Silver Show.

Summary[]
Seeking to avoid the wrath of the vengeful Fatman, Silver escapes to Russia with the help of the unexpectedly helpful Robotnik Jr. The question is: does the tubby teen have an ulterior motive?
Script[]
Scene 1[]
Fade in on a moderately busy intersection in the chaotic, metropolitan Stupid City. At the edge of the sidewalk, SILVER is seen prostrating himself on the ground.
SILVER: O, glorious Taxi! I humbly ask to use you as a method of transportation. Ramen.
Suddenly, the round, sputtering Egg-O-Matic flies down from above, being piloted by the round, sputtering ROBOTNIK JR.
ROBOTNIK JR.: Dude, what do you think you're doing?!
SILVER: (Flatly) I'm...hailing a taxi...
(Audience laughs)
ROBOTNIK JR.: (Smirking) Right, of course. You must be a resident here.
SILVER: Hey!
ROBOTNIK JR.: (With a casual wave) Hey.
(Audience chuckles)
ROBOTNIK JR.: Anyway, I can drop you off anywhere you want. (Kicking the door open) Where to?
'SILVER': (Shrugging) Wherever. I just want to get as far away from this place as possible.
ROBOTNIK JR.: Really? Well, how does Russia sound?
SILVER: GREAT!
Silver hops into the Egg-O-Matic and slams the door. The machine rockets into the sky as Robotnik Jr. chortles haughtily, a giant grin spreading on his face.
Fade to black.
Scene 2[]
Cut to Silver and Robotnik Jr. flying over the Atlantic Ocean in the Egg-O-Matic, chatting with one another to pass the time.
SILVER: ...So I moved from the Sonic Islands to California for my job at SEGA, only to be fired just a couple days ago! Can you believe it?!
ROBOTNIK JR.: Wait, you're from California?
SILVER: Um...yeah.
ROBOTNIK JR.: Cool! I went to high school there.
SILVER: Awesome! Which school?
The camera pans to the bottom of Robotnik Jr.'s chin, pointing at his face at an upward angle. His eyes are obscured in shadow.
ROBOTNIK JR.: The school of hard knocks.
SILVER: (Fidgeting) Oh...is that near Fort Knox?
ROBOTNIK JR.: (Sighing) Never mind. Anyway, we're here.
The Egg-O-Matic flies into the mouth of a golden statue of DR. ROBOTNIK, which also happens to function as a secret base.
SILVER: Hey! Where do you think you're taking me?!
ROBOTNIK JR.: What, did you think this ride was free? No, I need you to help my father promote his brand-new series of videoshames: Super Robotnik Land!
SILVER: What?! You can't just take me wherever you want and force me to do your bidding!
ROBOTNIK JR.: Why not?
SILVER: IT'S ABUSE!
(Audience laughs for a brief moment, then grows silent)
Fade to black with the words "To be Continued..." on the screen.
Moral[]
If you're going to hail a taxi, do it right.
Trivia[]
Robotnik Jr. was originally slated to be played by EggRobo, but the latter's performance was considered "too mechanical" and the idea was dropped.
