Transcript
{The toon opens in Marshmallow's Last Stand with Homestar Runner sitting across from Cardboard Marzipan.}
HOMESTAR: {as Cardboard Marzipan} And they feed the ducks through a tube. Don't you think that's awful?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Look, girl sitting across from me. I gotta level with you. I'm gonna go build a deck!
{Homestar runs away from the table. He pops up from under the table to imitate Cardboard Marzipan}
HOMESTAR: {as Cardboard Marzipan} I gots to find me a new man.
{Cut to The King of Town eating something white in a bowl. Homestar pops up from under the table.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey King of Town! (King of Town spits out a remote control) I'm gonna build a deck!
{Cut to The Cheat knitting in The Field. Homestar pops out from behind The Stick.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: The Cheat, I'm deckin' it out!
{Cut to Homestar standing on Marzipan's couch. Pom-Pom is holding a camera and a boom mic is overhead.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I am the Deckman! D-E-C-K-E-M-A-N!
{Cut to Strong Sad lying in bed. Homestar pops out from under the covers.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh! Hi, Strong Sad... Um... Not sure how I got in here... I'll just... go back the way I came.
{Homestar dissapears under the covers.}
STRONG SAD: I have GOT to get my prescription changed!
{"The Local Newspapes" appears with headline "No Hands On Deck}
{Cut to Homestar and Bubs in The Field. Homestar is wearing a tool belt and leaning against a stack of wood.}
BUBS: Now what's all this about, Homestar?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What, you didn't know? Yeah, I'm building me a deck. Using galvanized nails. That's right, that's right. I said I'm using galvanized nails {mumbles last two words}.
BUBS: Galvanized nails, eh? Sounds legit. We can chill out on it an drink melonade all summer long.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, melonade! We haven't talked about that much lately! Maybe we can eat some {Homestar's head turns into the older animation style} marshmallows {Homestar's head turns back to normal} too!
BUBS: And I like to dance! (beat plays and Bubs does a little dance) Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'll swing by later on with a sixer of Melonade!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Make it a seven-er.
BUBS: Aroo-got it!
{Cut to Coach Z's Locker Room.}
COACH Z: Galvanized, you don't say?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, it's pretty legit. I was thinking about writing a musical about it too. Maybe call it, "My Good Great Deck". I'll probably get Rappaport to star in it.
COACH Z: What about me? I wanna be in your myorsical! I could be the orphan! {Coach Z switches his hat to a flat cap and starts singing} Oh where is my mother, dee doo?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's a good one, Coach. A really... really... good {the shot zooms in with each of the last three words} one. Well, I better get back to work if I'm gonna build a deck in this cartoon.
{Homestar leaves}
COACH Z: {holds up four Tony trophies} But what abrat my four Tony Awards?
{Cut to Homestar sitting across from Cardboard Marzipan in Marshmallow's Last Stand}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: 'Kipedia said vulcanized was the way to go. But I dang old knew better. Galvanized, galvanized, galvanized, that's what I always say!
HOMESTAR (CARDBOARD MARZIPAN): Homestar, are you using galvanized nails to hide the fact that you don't know how to build a deck?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm gonna... have to get back to you on that one... Peow! ... ahem... Let's try that again. Peow! {Homestar leaves}
{Sequence illustrating Homestar building a deck}
{Cut to Bubs and Homestar standing on top of Bubs' Concession Stand}
BUBS: Well, I'm impressed, Homestar. When you said you were building a deck, I figured it would end up being something stupid and terrible. You know, 'cause you were building it.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, me too!
BUBS: But I think I could get used to this!
{Looks out over The Field which is now completely covered in wood}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Here's to galvanized nails, and cardboard females!
BUBS: I'll drink to that!
