He steps inside and looks around, seeing a mechanical cow and eventually Sonic, sitting alone at a nearby table, wearing a cowboy hat. Roger walks towards him and bumps against the hedgehog, clearing his throat. Sonic turns around, he's wearing the shades he found.

Sonic: *tips hat* Howdy, partner!

Roger: I'm not your partner. Come on, we're leaving.

Sonic: But there's a ZZ Top cover band. You gotta see their beards.

Roger: Weird enough to catch them some other time. Let's go, get up.

Sonic: If we stay, I promise I won't say another word for the rest of the trip, starting... now.

A  moment of silence, which is interrupted by the appearance of a waitress.

Roundhouse Waitress: Welcome to the Piston Pit. What can I get you, fellas?

Sonic: Oh, I want nachos and Buffalo Wings... Oh, and guac. Funny word, isn't it? Guac, guac. Guac.

Roundhouse Waitress: Hey, no kids allowed in here. What's he got on, some kind of mask?

Roger: Oh, he... Uh... He's actually forty-three years old and, um, suffers from a very rare skin disease, that stuns his growth and makes him look, um, like... like that.

Sonic: The face, I was born with. Kinda like those strange mutations they documented. The confidence, I picked up along the way.

The waitress smiles for a bit, seemingly uncomfortable.

Roger: Make his a Mellow Yellow, please.

Roundhouse Waitress: Okay. *walks away*

Roger: *takes off his hat, sits down* You owe me one.

Sonic: But I never sat in a barstool before. So squishy! Oh, look at this! It spins!

The hedgehog swirls around, having the time of his life.

Sonic: Woah, woah, woah! *laughs, stops spinning* I feel sick. 

Roger: Are you having fun? You're gonna check this of the old bucket list, huh? Big night for ya.

Sonic: What's a bucket list?

Roger: *sighs* A bucket list is, uh... It's a list of things you wanna do in your life before you, well, kick the bucket.

Sonic: I've never kicked a bucket either. Oh, I gotta make my list!

He quickly runs through the establishment, finding a receipt and a pencil. Sonic begins to write things down, talking to himself with every item he writes down.

Sonic: Ah-hah, hmm-hmm... Oh-ho-ho-ho, Sonic! Ah-hah, ah-hah...

He stops, he seems sad about something. Roger notices this.
