{Again, The Cheat hiccups}

STRONG BAD: Well you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have any trouble scaring the hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. There's gotta be something scary.

{Zoom in on poster with "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room" adorned on it}

STRONG BAD: Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor}

STRONG BAD: You scared yet The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary huh? {in a scared voice} Oh no, please don't drip on me! You smell like shin guards!

{Coach Z appears}

COACH Z: {in a frightening voice} Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

STRONG BAD: {clears throat} Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat. You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

COACH Z: What could be scarier than Blue Star ointment?! Ooooooh!

STRONG BAD: Alright, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk. Let's bolt.

COACH Z: Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the terlet (toilet) there!

STRONG BAD: Oh I get it, let me try one! A butt for a face, Little brother: Dork Dork Dork, Stay out of my room. I'm sorry The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

STRONG SAD: You don't SCARE the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta laugh 'em out!

STRONG BAD: Whoa! That sounds like a segway!
