subject: The Paper...Dear Strongbad,
Is the Paper really quitting? Could you tell me the best
moment that you had with the paper?
Thank You
Kyle Williams
North Ogden, Utah
{Strong Bad reads the state as "Ewwwtah".}
STRONG BAD: {typing} No, The Paper's not quitting, Kyle, you total Ogdenite. Ol' Papes is at the top of his game, the prime of his time, the cusp of his stuff!
{The printer falls onto Strong Bad, knocking him offscreen.}
STRONG BAD: OW!!!
{Cut back to show the full computer room. The wrecked printer is on the ground, with Strong Bad reeling next to it. The printer prints a sheet. A dramatic chords plays. Cut to a closeup of The Paper, which reads "I tHiNK i'MM rEAlllyy QUItTinG sTROng BBBaD".}
STRONG BAD: {offscreen} The Paper! No!!!
{Cut back to a shot of the whole screen.}
STRONG BAD: Why do all my thirty-year-old electronics keep breaking on me?!
{Cut to a closeup of The Paper, which prints out some more text reading "wE haDd A goOd RUN, oLD buDddy."}
STRONG BAD: {offscreen} We sure did, pal.
{Cut back}
STRONG BAD: Why, I remember the day you were born like it was about to happen in a wavy flashback...
{Harp music plays. It transitions to Li'l Strong Bad and Strong Sad, in front of a computer and printer. Strong Sad is typing.}
LI'L STRONG BAD: Hurry up, Diaper Stripe! I wanna print out that butt I made out of hyphens and dollar signs!
{Strong Sad hits a key, and a paper prints out of the printer.}
LI'L STRONG BAD: Did you hear that?
{Cut to a closeup of The Paper, which reads "Preeeeow, world."}
LI'L STRONG BAD: {offscreen} It said "Preeeeow!"
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And you were always phenomenal over the boards on defense!
{Cut to the stadium. Strong Bad is wearing a headband, dancing in front of a basketball hoop as though blocking it. Homestar Runner holds a football and is wearing kneepads and a purple shirt that reads "Team Kneepads 15". The scoreboard gives a score of "?" for the Home team and "$" for the Visitors.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Homestar has the ball at the top of the key. {bounces the football twice} Dribble, dribble, {throws it toward the hoop} shoot!
{The Paper comes down reading "Manute Bol" in front of the hoop, blocking the shot. Strong Bad looks up.}
STRONG BAD: Ooooh! {closeup} Get that weak mess outta here!
{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aw, man! Wish I had a time-and-space-transcending piece of paper on my team.
{Cut back a bit. Homsar is hovering in midair behind Homestar, wearing a similar shirt but with the number ".4". He has a kneepag on his hat instead of his legs.}
HOMSAR: {his hat flies offscreen} AaAaAaAaAaAaA {his hat lands on Strong Bad} aAaAaAaAa...
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, over Homsar} I will admit, I wasn't crazy about your goth phase.
{Cut to Strong Bad in the computer room, in front of the Compy. A black version of the paper designed to resemble bat wings comes down with a purple glow and a drop of blood. It has the usual text printed in a Gothic font, but it's nearly unreadable.}
STRONG BAD: Ahh! {Looks up, holds up his hands in a defensive stance.}
'{Cut to Strong Bad in front of the Compy up close.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Or your preppy phase, for that matter.
{The Paper comes down. It appears to be wearing a pink polo shirt with a turquoise scarf. The shirt has "Tennis" stitched into it with an image of a tennis racket above it. Only the word "golf" is visible on The Paper itself. Strong Bad looks up, then down.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} But you always looked out for your younger brothers and sisters.
{Another drop of blood drips down from The Paper. Cut to computer room with the Lappy on the desk. Homestar is wrapped up in paper dangling from the ceiling. A bottle of Mountain Dew is visible on the desk.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Look, I was just trying to pour Mountain Dew on it! Ohwait. I mean Mello Yello on it! Ohwait. I mean Sierra Mist!
{Cut to a closeup of Homestar.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: ???! Surge!
