{Short opens with pan down to the field. Cut to a close-up of the Tragic Dog Clown's face. Zoom out to a medium shot of Strong Bad's face visible in open flap of the costume, taking a drag off a white object, groaning softly. Coach Z, wearing the Drive-Thru Whale costume, enters screen right.}
COACH Z: Well, hey there, fellow mascot! I— I didn't know you were the smoking type?
{cut to a close-up of Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: {whisperingly} Shh! I'm not! {normally} But Bubs only gives me one of each kind of break. I've already used pee, coffee and maternity leave today. {beat} And this is a white crayon.
{Cut to a medium shot. Homestar Runner enters screen left, wearing the Jolly Dumple costume.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What is up, my fellow sweat factories?
STRONG BAD: Oh, I didn't know you were working today.
{Close up of Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, it's freshman orientation. I'm in charge of orienting them freshly!
{Cut to Homestar in the field with the CGNU tower visible in the back, and silhouettes of freshmen in the front. The words of Homestar's song are show at the bottom of the screen, with a ball bouncing as sings each word.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing} You're gonna have to
share a bafroom
with some kid from Alabama
that kinda sucks.
The financial aid office
is closed on Tuesdays
and steer clear of the
beef stroganoff at the
dining hall!
{Close-up of Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: C! G! N! U! {whispering} And then you guys all say "Me?"
{Cut back to medium shot}
FRESHMEN: {mumbling} No way, no way.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ah, that's good, that's good. Good. {dancing, quietly} We've got spirit!
{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: At least you get college kids! I've got little snot-budded little kids messing with my costume all day!
{Pan over to Coach Z}
COACH Z: I used to have that problem, too, but now I just swallow them up and spit them out into the ball bath
{Close-up of Coach Z}
CHILD: Mommy! Mommy! I've gotta pee!
COACH Z: Oops! Looks like I forgot one. They'll be fine for at least a week.
{Cut back to medium shot of all three}
STRONG BAD: Hey, where's Pom Pom, anyway?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, P-squared is not in the union. He doesn't even get a break.
{Cut a low shot of Pom Pom strapped to the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, with a sign that reads "Right Car. Right Ppice" }
