[edit] Transcript

{A title screen reading "some stuff with mike and homestar" appears. The text changes to "here's a screen test" and cuts to Homestar standing around in an area with black fabric covering the back wall. Mike walks in.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Boo boodoo!

MIKE: Hi, Homestar!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh hello, Mike!

MIKE: How's it going?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pretty great!

MIKE: {nods} Good. What did you have for breakfast today?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I had an egg and two salads!

MIKE: Two salads for breakfast?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: One of fruit, and one of rice!

MIKE: Rice salad, eh Homesta—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pilaf!

MIKE: {trying not to laugh} Rice pilaf for breakfas—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Salad!

MIKE: {trying not to laugh} Rice pilaf salad, huh?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Spin my buzzer!

MIKE: {starting to lose it} Your buzzer?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, what— {sounding more like Matt} What else would you call it?

{Mike laughs a little, and spins Homestar's "buzzer".}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {makes whirring noise}

MIKE: Very nice.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: This is a super day, Mike!

MIKE: Hey, Homestar, I've got a new friend for you.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh-oh. The last time you said THAT...

{Mike produces a Kick The Cheat doll from the bottom of the screen.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What in Blue Blazes is that guy?

{Mike hits the Kick The Cheat doll on its side, causing it to make The Cheat noises.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oooh.

{Mike hits it again, causing it to make more noises.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Don't do it again!

{Mike hits it a third time, causing it to make more noises.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What is it saying?

MIKE: I think that it says that he loves you very much.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Awww, Yellow Man!

{Homestar snuggles up to the Kick The Cheat doll, and Mike finally loses it and starts laughing.}

MIKE: {to someone off-camera} All right, that was pretty good.

{Mike walks away with the Kick The Cheat doll, causing Homestar to fall over sideways. Cut to a title screen that reads "they play basketball". Cut to outside. Homestar is in the foreground, and Mike is in the background dribbling a basketball.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh yeah? You think you got it like that? Try and juke me?

{Mike shoots above Homestar's head.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Did you make that shot?

MIKE: Yep.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Crap.

{Mike goes offscreen to retrieve the ball.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I think he made that shot.

{Mike reappears with the ball.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh wait! And here he is again! {tries to fake out Mike} Haballoo! Hey! Hazoo! Hey hee ha! Ho! Haaaaaa, don't make it!

{Mike shoots over Homestar's head again, and the camera follows the ball as it goes into the basket.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {offscreen} Hey, did you make that one?

{The ball bounces toward Mike, who retrieves it.}

MIKE: Yes I did.

{Homestar appears in-frame again and once again starts to try to block Mike.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay. Okay. Yeah. But this time, this time I've got ya— I'm gonna fade you, like... like some business! Don't make it!

{Mike shoots over Homestar's head, and the camera follows the ball as it goes in the basket again.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Mike!

MIKE: Yeah?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I got a question for ya.

{Mike laughs a little at this, retrieves the ball.}

MIKE: What's that, Homestar?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Did you make that last shot?

MIKE: Yes, I made that last shot.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Man, a—am I winning?

MIKE: No, you're losing, 6 - nothing.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: All right, here we go! Hoo! Hoo-ha! Hey! Oh yeah! Hey!

{Mike shoots over Homestar's head again, and the camera follows the ball, this time finally missing its mark. Cut to Homestar watching Mike as he shoots the ball again. Mike goes offscreen to retrieve the ball.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, when do I get the ball?

{Mike places the ball in front of Homestar's chest.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thanks.

{Mike lets go of the ball, and it falls.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You... you pick that up for me?

{Mike places it in front of Homestar's chest again.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, now— could you—

{Mike lets go of the ball and it falls again.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I— heh— hang on. Umm... I'm gonna shoot it.

{Mike places it in front of Homestar's chest again and lets go, letting it fall.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: And... shoot!

{Cut to Mike picking up the ball again, and follows him as he puts it in front of Homestar's chest.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Right... and shoot!

{Mike throws the ball back over his shoulder to simulate the shooting. Cut to a third title screen, reading "mike fixes homestar's buzzer". Cut to a bedroom, where we can see Mike putting the eyes on the Homestar puppet.}

MIKE: Just settle—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: OW!

MIKE: Stop!

{Mike affixes the eye to Homestar, and moves to one side, revealing a couple of paper towels out and laying on the bed.}

MIKE: Settle down. All right—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: YOU settle down!

MIKE: —lay down.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What?!

MIKE: We have to fix your propeller, lay down!

{Mike makes Homestar lay down.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh-OW! Geez!

{Cut to Mike applying superglue to one of the propeller pieces.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Do it!

MIKE: 15 more seconds.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Get it over with, doc!

MIKE: All right.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm not afraid of—

MIKE: Okay, stop moving.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: —a little pain.

{Frame jumps, still at the same scene. Mike is carefully affixing Homestar's propeller to his hat.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ow.

MIKE: It's okay.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ow!

MIKE: It's okay.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ow ow!

MIKE: All right, settle—just hold still.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No.

MIKE: {laughing a little} Hold still!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {weakly} Ow...

MIKE: {sternly} Hold still.

{Cut to Mike testing the propeller on Homestar's hat.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You're winding it backwards!

MIKE: Maybe I did put the washer on the wrong side...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh GREAT!!

{The propeller suddenly snaps in half.}

MIKE: OHHHH!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: AAAUUUGGGHHH! AAAUUUGGGHHH!! Oh man! Oh-hohoho, this is terrible! Oh, I'm dying...

MIKE: {after laughing a little} All right, I jumped the gun, I jumped the gun.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No! NO!!

MIKE: All right, sorry. Let's try this again.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No! I'm not going through that again!

{Mike starts laughing. Cut to Homestar laying down on the paper towels again and Mike working on the propeller. Mike stands up.}

MIKE: There, hope that works. I think we're in business.

{Mike walks away. Homestar gets up.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ohhh... oh, I look like... The Elephant Man.

MIKE: {offscreen} You look exactly like you always look.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {accusingly} What're you saying, Mike?

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Explanations

• Joseph "The Elephant Man" Merrick was a person from the late 19th century known for being hideously deformed.

[edit] Trivia

• Matt alluded to this scenario in an interview before the DVD was released. He claimed that Mike didn't want this segment to be on the site so that he wouldn't be recognized in public, but they put it on the DVD because there are other features with The Brothers Chaps in it (most notably, "Sample of Style").

[edit] Goofs

• Part of Matt's leg can be seen on the floor next to the bed at the very end of the extra.

[edit] Inside References

• Puppet Homestar mentions having had salads for breakfast.
• When attempting to block Mike's shot, Puppet Homestar says he will "fade" him.

[edit] Fast Forward

• Coach Z refers to Strong Sad as The Elephant Man in A Folky Tale.
• The phrase "Spin my buzzer" would later become a running gag with Homestar's propeller.
