POM POM: {looks angry, loud bubble noises}
STRONG BAD: {looks surprised}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Whoa, Pom Pom! Let's tone down the language before the contest, huh?
STRONG BAD: Come on, The Cheat. We'd better go start signing autographs. There's a pretty big line building up over there. {He and The Cheat exit}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {looks annoyed} Come on, Pom Pom! Let's go get Strong Bad's autograph! I hear there's a pretty big line building up.
{Cheering voices over momentarily before cutting to a banner reading "Strongest Man In The World Contest".}
THE ANNOUNCER: {voiceover over microphone} Ladies and gentlemen, you can not be ready for the {pan down to show The Announcer} Strongest Man In The World Contest! {flips microphone from one hand to the other} Let's meet our smokin' hot contestants! {cut to a silhouette of Mr. Bland with disco lights in the background} Heiling from the middle of the road, the prince of plain, the master of mudane...{spotlight turns on} Mr. Bland.

{A brown background of beans pans in, and "Señor" appears while Señor strikes an action pose.}
THE ANNOUNCER: And...
{Cut to silhouettes of Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner, who's respective spotlights turn on as their names are mentioned.}
THE ANNOUNCER: {quickly} Pom-Pom-Strong-Bad-and-Homestar. {Homestar looks surprised} {Cut back to The Announcer} Grape Fairie! Hit me with da rules!
{Pan up to The Grape Fairie riding his bee. He makes a scroll appear that reads "Rules".}
THE GRAPE FAIRIE: All right, you stupid brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes. {a pile of grapes takes the place of the floating scroll} Then I adds one at a time. {a grape appears above the pile} The bum who holds the most grapes {a golden bowl-shaped trophy appears in place of the grapes} wins this golbol.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover; sounds impressed} Dang, Pom Pom, you see that goldbol? {zoom in on the golbol} That's a nice golbol.
THE ANNOUNCER: Let's get this over with!
THE GRAPE FAIRIE: Olly oop. {zaps a pile of grapes on top of the contestants}
MR. BLAND: {monotonously} Okay.... This is going really well. {The pile of grapes crushes Mr. Bland.} Oh.
{Cut to silhoettes of everyone on a yellow background.}
THE ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} Down goes Bland!
THE GRAPE FAIRIE: Ka-bu op! {pings a single grape over each contestant}
{Cut to Señor, impossibly balancing the entire pile on one hand.}
SEÑOR: Oh, no, boy. I'm havin' a little trouble! {The pile falls on Señor with a "Sblounskched!"} I still alive!
{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat, with Pom Pom in the background.}
STRONG BAD: Hey, The Cheat—
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: —I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers. Or should I say, unplugged?
THE CHEAT: {affirmative The Cheat noises} {salutes}
{The cheat slides to the feet of The Robot, who is apparently plugged into an outlet on a very small section of wall out of nowhere.}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises} {looks around, unplugs The Robot's cord, and slides away} {The Cheat noises}
{Cut to The Robot, who shuts down and drops the pile of grapes. General sad "Aw"s among the crowd are heard.}
{Cut to Homestar, whose grapes appear to be floating in mid-air, due to his lack of visible arms.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {looks around} Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?
{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer.}
THE GRAPE FAIRIE:
THE ANNOUNCER: Really quite an impressive bowl.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {off screen} Hellooo?
THE GRAPE FAIRIE: Oh. Right.
{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}
THE GRAPE FAIRIE: {poofs another grape on top of everyone} Crazy eights!
{Strong Bad begins to loose his grip on the grapes.}
STRONG BAD: The Cheat? Big help here!
THE CHEAT: {rushes over} {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Okay.... Even it out a bit there on the south side.
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Jump her up.
{Cut to Homestar.}
'HOMESTAR RUNNER: All right, seriously. The first year was cute. But this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! {drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat} Could I just borrow this for a second? {grabs The Cheat}
THE CHEAT: {surprised The Cheat noises}
{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a hackey-sack, then does a slow-motion flip and kicks The Cheat straight backwards over his head.}
STRONG BAD: {melodramatically} Oh-nooo! {gets squished by his pile of grapes}
{The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}
{Cut to Pom Pom}
THE ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} Pom Pom wins!
{Pom Pom winks; cut to Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Wait, what?
STRONG BAD: Ooh.... These grapes are suculently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! {grapes start disappearing as Strong Bad eats them}
{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the trophy.}
