Hello Strong Bad,<br>
+
-
I can't seem to fall asleep latley and I was wondering,<br>
+
-
you know, if you would tell me a bedtime story.<br>
+
-
Good Night.<br>
+
-
- Justin Wagley<br>
+
-
Keller, TX</blockquote>
+
-
 
+
-
''{Strong Bad pronounces "latley" as written and "Keller, TX" as "Killer taxes."}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Justin Wagley, huh? Well, this just in, Wagley: I'm not your freakin' babysitter! Or your Dad. Or your dadbysitter. ''{clears screen}'' But I am The Cheat's dadbysitter and he's been having some serious problems falling asleep latley ''{pronounced as before}'' too, ever since he watched that shock-you-mentary about gingivitis.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to The Cheat, Strong Bad's basement, with the lights off. The TV is playing, and The Cheat looks scared.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MAN ON TELEVISION:''' In the final stages, the gums took on the appearance and taste of chocolate pudding.
+
-
 
+
-
''{The Cheat screams and turns pale. Cut back to the Lappy.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We've had to cook up such an elaborate go-to-sleep scheme for The Cheat that I believe it's officially reached rigamarole status. Anyways, it all begins by making sure The Cheat has his security, um, item. A grodalated old sponge&mdash;
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to an image of a green sponge with a badly-drawn face, covered in bandages.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:'''&mdash;covered in Band-Aids which he affectionately refers to as "The Denzel."
+
-
 
+
-
''{The words "The Denzel" appear in quotes at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy; Strong Bad continues to type.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Next, we have to prepare The Cheat's favorite bedtime snack. A tall glass of a little concoction he calls SUUDSU.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to a blue screen with "oh my, SUDDSU" written in the background. A cup of milk appears with a chime.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Skim milk, ''{a pile of gummi bears appears}'' gummi bears, ''{the gummi bears are placed in the milk and a circle reading "Pure Genius!" appears}'' pure genius!
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to The King of Town's grill, without the lid. The Cheat is lying on it, carrying The Denzel and holding a glass of Suudsu.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, once he's safely cuddled up with The Denzel and his glass of Suudsu, ''{Strong Bad walks up}'' it's time to begin the bedtime story proper. ''{no longer a voiceover}'' Okay, The Cheat, are you ready for tonight's installment of...
+
-
 
+
-
''{A thought bubble appears from The Cheat, taking over the entire screen. In Powered-by-The-Cheat style, the words "The Ch8t's Cheatventures in Moses MaloneLand" appear as spoken.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in his Powered-by-The-Cheat voice}'' The Cheat's Cheatventures in Moses MaloneLand! When we last left our heroes...
+
-
 
+
-
''{A picture of The Cheat and a pair of dark-skinned legs with long socks and red shoes appears. They're standing behind a podium, with Mt. Rushmore to the right.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...they had just won a debate against the minds of Mt. Rushmore ''{said as MOUNT-rush-more}'' and re-celebrating&mdash;
+
-
 
+
-
''{A new picture appears, with The Cheat (sporting an unusual hairdo) and the legs standing near a crude rack of items and "le new style" written in the background}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;by shopping for some new wri- wristbands.
+
-
 
+
-
''{The Cheat turns toward the rack and points at one of the items.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' ''{only his legs are seen; the sock on the left moves up and down as he speaks}'' Dang, The Cheat, you ''would'' look good with a pair of monster truck tires!
+
-
 
+
-
''{A pair of monster truck tires suddenly appear on The Cheat.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' Now we're talkin'! Uh-oh! Maggot Man!
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to a sunset view. A silhouette appears over the horizon; when it reaches the foreground, it is revealed to have a pink body, a pair of pincers in place of a head, seemingly invertebrate arms, and no hands.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MAGGOT MAN:''' ''{flailing his floppy arm}'' Hey, guys! Can I come over and play video games?
+
-
 
+
-
''{Shift back to Moses and The Cheat, who is holding a big knife.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' No.<br>
+
-
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{emphatic negative The Cheat noise}''
+
-
 
+
-
''{The camera moves back, showing that Maggot Man is only a few inches tall compared to Moses, and that they're standing on a football field. Moses kicks Maggot Man away, towards the top of the screen.  There is a small mushroom cloud where Maggot Man disappears from the screen.  Cut to Moses and The Cheat in a trophy room with a banner that reads "HALL OF FAME."}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' Nice work, little man. What do you say you and I go play some video games?
+
-
 
+
-
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Affirmative The Cheat noises. His right arm becomes humanoid and gives Moses a thumbs-up.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' All right.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' I got first game!<br>
+
-
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{The Cheat noises that match the rhythm of what Moses is saying}''
+
-
 
+
-
''{The Cheat laughs, with his arm temporarily detaching from his body. Cut to a picture of a digital wristwatch flashing a line art depiction of The Cheat in red LEDs. Above it is the banner "TIME NEXT".}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Next time on The Cheat's Cheatventures in Moses MaloneLand...
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to a room with a banner reading "ALL OF GAMES," with The Cheat and Moses holding Nintendo controllers. Moses's hands are in view; he has a large gold ring on his right hand.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MOSES MALONE:''' The Adventures of Lolo? You better s-s-save ''{pronounced like "have"}'' saved the receipt!
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to the Lappy.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' After I get sick of making up crap about The Cheat and Moses Malone, Strong Mad and I belt out his favorite lullaby.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut to the grill, where Strong Mad is revving up a chainsaw.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{attempting to yell over the chainsaw}'' BRAN MUFFINS! WHERE ARE YOU STUPID BRAN MUFFINS?! TRY HARDER TO BE A BRAN MUFFIN!
+
-
 
+
-
''{The Cheat sighs happily, closes his eyes, and smiles. Cut back to the Lappy.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And when ''that'' doesn't work, we call upon our good friend, 2 or 3 roach foggers.
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut back to the grill once more. Two cans of "ROACH KILLA! (GAVIN SAFE!)" are now on the grill with The Cheat, and Strong Bad is holding a third.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Sleep tight, sweet prince!
+
-
 
+
-
''{He tosses the third can onto the grill and slams the lid on it. A small explosion is seen from inside the grill. Then, The Cheat sighs again.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking over his shoulder}'' How're his vitals?
+
-
 
+
-
''{Pan over to Strong Mad in scrubs, with a heart monitor. After a pause, it beeps once.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG MAD:''' WE'VE GOT A PULSE!
+
-
 
+
-
''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if we're lucky, The Cheat wakes up alive the next morning and fixes us all a big pitcher of suudsu. No foolin', man. That stuff is G-E-W-D, gewd. Hopefully you were at least able to cop a wicked contact buzz off of The Cheat's bedtime story, Wagley. Or off the fumes from those bug bombs. Either way, ''{the screen dims}'' you should be losing consciousness ''{the sound slows and descends in pitch like recorded tape being slowed to a halt}'' any second now.
