Transcript

{Music plays. A silhouette of Homestar and Marzipan can be seen through the falling snow. Lines representing the wind curl by.}

{Cut to Marzipan with earmuffs and scarf holding a dish and Homestar in his brown hat walking through The Field through the snow. Homestar looks distressed.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Marzi-pan! Explain to me why we're slogging through this blizzard again? I don't think I can slog much further!

{Cut to a tighter shot of the two}

MARZIPAN: I told you, at Decemberween time, it's our duty as people with more than one DVR to help those much, much, much, way very very very much, really smelly, a lot much, much, less fortunate than us.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: And, you think bringing him bean sprouts is, ahem, helping?

{Pull back to a wider shot. Marzipan looks angrily at Homestar.}

MARZIPAN: Be quite and keep slogging. We're almost there.

{A bush comes into view.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ah, man! This guy? {They stop walking} When you said less fortunate, I thought you just meant Coach Z.

{Coach Z pops up in the foreground from under a snow drift wearing a Blubb-O's box}

COACH Z: Me too!

{Coach Z disappears}

{A doorbell sounds. Senor Cardgage rises into view accompanied by traffic sounds. He's facing away from Marzipan and Homestar.}

SENOR CARDGAGE: Hello, Chi Minh?

MARZIPAN: Hello, Mr. Senor! Happy Decemberween!

{Cut to a tighter shot of the three of them.}

SENOR CARDGAGE: Is this a frank, call?

MARZIPAN: No, no, over here. {Cardgage turns around.} We brought you some food for the holidays.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah. We came down off of our high horse to spread around some Decemberween cheer.

SENOR CARDGAGE: Thank you, Hot Pooey. {Homestar looks mad. Zip pan to a close-up of the bush.} Do you care to go inside?

{Close-up of Homestar and Marzipan}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Marzipan, did that guy just call me "Hot Pooey"? And invite me inside that bush?

MARZIPAN: {embarrassed} Maybe?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's it, I'm going back to your house. Later on, we'll conspire.

{Cut back to a wider shot. Homestar walks off screen left. Cardgage is now shaking.}

MARZIPAN: Oh, you poor wretch. What's the matter?

{Cut to medium shot of Marzipan and Cardgage.}

SENOR CARDGAGE: Oh, not much... I'm just... dying.

MARZIPAN: Gasp!

{A red title card with a holly border slides in from screen right. Words appear as the singers sing them.}
