Transcript
{Homestar Runner walks in to Strong Bad's computer room, holding a damaged tape. Compy 386 is off and there is a note attached to the screen.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad? Strong Bad, I brought back your tape of old Mister Wizards! Okay, I'll just leave it on the floor.
{He drops the tape, a smashing sound is heard. He sees the note.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {dramatically} A note! {turns to the camera} A note! {reading} 'Probably at a barbecue...with lotsa ladies! SB.' {mischeviously} Oh, really?
{Homestar runs out of the shot to the left, then enters again with a quart-size dairy carton.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad! I'm borrowing this milk for an undisclosed period of time! {runs across again, now with a squeegee} Strong Bad! I'm borrowing this squeegee-type-deal! {runs across again with an electric guitar} Taking the guitar! {struggling with a TV set} The TV! {he drops it} Phew!
{Homestar enters again, carrying an Atari 2600, but this time he meets The Cheat coming the other way, carrying Strong Bad's keyboard; the monitor has already gone.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Strong Bad-
THE CHEAT: {exclamation}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh! The Cheat!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I was just, um, doing nothing, with... nothing that belongs to Strong Bad.
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, you too, huh?
THE CHEAT: {"Uh-huh"-type noise}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Cool, um, I'm going to... run away, now... pretty quickly.
{Homestar Runner and The Cheat run off, each in the direction he came from, as The Cheat exclaims. The screen goes black momentarily, but then the shot returns for a moment as The Cheat leans in from the right and swipes Strong Bad's Floppy Disk Container.}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat exclamation}
