Basement
Couch
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: I haven't checked the couch for change, chips, or charred remains recently. {Checks the couch, finds pants} What's this? Nothin' says "I have no business wearing these" like leopard print pants! I may have to oil myself up just to fit in them at the photo booth!
- STRONG BAD: {Checks the couch} What's this? Nothin'.
Television
- {First time only}

- STRONG BAD: Hey, how'd you get your fake, dress-up sword out of Pompomerania, er, Club Technochocolate?

- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: I think the Lappy's had enough juice for now... {Goes to unplug the Lappy and gets electrocuted} Yaaah! {Shaky voice} I guess not.

E-mail 1: Band Names
Band NamesYo, S to the B,
I'm trying to come up with a good name for my band, but it
seems like all the good ones are taken. Any ideas?
No-Name Brand Band
- STRONG BAD: That's true, Brandy, all the good ones ARE taken. {clears screen} That's why you need to start thinking of futuristic band names link "My Personal Jetpack" or "The Robot Rebellion." {Stops typing} Ooh, ooh! {Starts typing} Or "Really, Really, REALLY, Tiny Cell Phone." That should be enough to get you started, but I'm gonna need my royalties in 2086 dollars, or Globnars, as they will then be called. {Line break} Thanks. SB.

Strong Bad's Room
Game Introduction

- STRONG BAD: All right, Senor Fun Machine, let's see what you've got for me today...
- {Scene changes to the menu screen for Limozeen's Hot Babelien Odyssey}
- STRONG BAD: Hot dang, it's Limozeen's Hot Babelien Oddysey, loosely based on the life and times of the coolest rock band in the world, Limozeen! Ok, hot babeliens, get ready to be rescued and romanced by my rock 'n' roll ruleage! Rrr.
- {The game starts automatically}
- GAME LARRY: {Distorted monotone} Rock and roll, baby!
- {The player can now play the game, but after a short while, the game picture starts to distort, the colors fluctuate, until it eventually dissolves into a mess of symbols.}
- STRONG BAD: Hey, what was that? No... Please... No no no!
- {The game freezes completely, and a wisp of smoke comes out of the Fun Machine.}
- STRONG BAD: NOOOO!!! C'mon, man, don't do this to me!
- {A flock of bats flies into the room and start flying around Strong Bad's head. Strong Bad stands up and tries to bat them away.}
- STRONG BAD: Bleargh! Go on! Git! Scram!
- {The bats fly away. Strong Bad turns back to the Fun Machine}
- STRONG BAD: Aww, crapcakes. Not again! I just sprayed three cans of 4W DD in the cartridge slot this morning. Looks like I'll have to take it to the only fully-licenced Videlextrician in town... (sigh) Bubs. Don't worry, my poor broken Fun Machine, Bubs'll fix you up, better than new.
- {Strong Bad drops the controller and picks up the Fun Machine}

Strong Sad's Room
Strong Sad
- STRONG BAD: Hey there, Sister Christian.
- STRONG SAD: Remarkably, I don't have time for you today, Strong Bad.
Strong Sad → Strong Sad
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: I'm sure I will instantly regret asking you this, but whatcha doin'?
- STRONG SAD: I've finally decided to pursue my dream of becoming a snooty rock 'n' roll journalist.
- STRONG BAD: A rock... and... roll... journal... {laughs}
- STRONG SAD: You won't be bwa-ha-haing after I've sold my poignant coming-of-age tale of my snooty exploits to a snooty independent movie studio!
- STRONG BAD: You're right, I, I shouldn't... {laughs}
- STRONG SAD: {Sighs}
- STRONG BAD: I forget. What are you doing again?
- STRONG SAD: I'm preparing to set sail on my dream of becoming a snooty rock 'n' roll--
- STRONG BAD: {Laughs}
- STRONG SAD: --journalist.
Strong Sad → Fun Machine
- Only available before the Fun Machine is given to Bubs
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: I don't know how to tell you this, but someone broke the Fun Machine.
- STRONG SAD: Someone?
- STRONG BAD: Yeah, I think it was Someone Jackson, or maybe Someone Jackson Jr. Can you fix it?
- STRONG SAD: No, but Bubs has a black belt in fixing outdated electronics.
- STRONG BAD: But Bubs'll probably make me pay for it... with money!
- BUBS: {Appears in the doorway} I also accept first-born children!
- STRONG BAD: Are you sure you can't fix the Fun Machine?
- STRONG SAD: All signs point to "Leave me alone and go to Bubs!"
Strong Sad → Bat
- STRONG BAD: Aren't bat hutches supposed to be out-of-doors? Or in of Marzipan's bed?
- STRONG SAD: Normally, but the von Blaubloods love the delicate mixture of dank and damp here in my room.
- STRONG BAD: Normally I think bats are pretty cool (especially when someone's biting the heads off them at the climax of an awesome concert, but {shouts} NOT WHEN THEY'RE IN MY FREAKING HOUSE! OUT! OUT! OUT!
- STRONG SAD: No, no, no.
Strong Sad → Battle of the Bands Stage
- Only available after the Fun Machine is given to Bubs
- STRONG BAD: Hey, I got a story for you, Mister Snooty Rock Journalist: "Prepare ye all butts for maximum kickage, as Strong Bad organizes a legendary Battle Royale of the Bands!!"
- STRONG SAD: No, you're not.
- STRONG BAD: No, really. It'll have security and celebrity judges and everything!
- STRONG SAD: And ponies?
- STRONG BAD: Yeah, and ponies! Whu-hey!
- STRONG SAD: {Chortles}
Strong Sad → Security Jacket
- Only available after the Fun Machine is given to Bubs
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: {In his hyping-it-up voice} Check out this article of clothing.
- STRONG SAD: What is it?
- STRONG BAD: So, about that jacket I showed you.
- STRONG SAD: Yes?
Strong Sad → Security Jacket → Angel
{First time only, and only if the Angel option is selected first}}
- STRONG BAD: It's a security jacket. Y'know, the kind worn by security guards at concerts.
- STRONG SAD: Ok, I can't stand those guys. They're always laughing at my press pass.
- STRONG BAD: It's not really a tour jacket. It's just a run-of-the-mill security jacket.
- STRONG SAD: I don't believe you.
- STRONG BAD: What?
- STRONG SAD: I think you're just trying to cover up for liking a band noone's ever heard of.
Strong Sad → Security Jacket → Devil
- STRONG BAD: {If the Angel option is chosen first, add: It's not really a security jacket.} It's a tour jacket for this hot new indie rock band called Security!
- STRONG SAD: "Security?" I've heard people talking about them. A lot of people.
- STRONG BAD: See? They're hot!
- STRONG SAD: But talk is cheap. Real indie bands have street teams that use guerilla marketing tactics to get their name and logo up all over the place.
Strong Sad → Cancel
- STRONG BAD: Well, the bile in my throat tells me it's time to stop talking to you. I've got a Fun Machine to get repaired.

Bat Hutch
- When Strong Sad is present
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: Hollerin' Jimmy's Bat Hutch Kit? Since when do you keep bats in your room?

- STRONG BAD: To what, get rabies?
- STRONG BAD: Can I borrow your bat hutch? I, uh, wanna do that thing with the tin foil that screws up their sonar.

Camera

- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: What's that?

- STRONG SAD: Stop grabbing at my stuff!
- When Strong Sad is absent

- STRONG MAD: SHE BRINGS SNACKS!
- STRONG BAD: Fair enough.
- STRONG BAD: I forget, who else is in Marzipan's band?

- STRONG BAD: Man, why does Marzipan get to hog all my bros? Why can't she start one of those lame-o core bands with Strong Sad instead?
Strong Mad → Fun Machine

- STRONG MAD: SMASH STUFF! BREAK STUFF!!
- STRONG BAD: That's what I thought.
Strong Mad → Bat

- STRONG MAD: SAVE THE BATS! LA-LA-LA!
- STRONG BAD: Aww, you like 'em too?
Strong Sad → Cancel
- STRONG BAD: Well this has been fascinating and articulate, but I've got a Fun Machine to repair. See you later, S-Mad
{After the first conversation, Marzipan's house appears on the map}
Dresser
- STRONG BAD: This is where my brother keeps all his extra singlets, gym socks, and athletical supporting devices.
Old Record
- STRONG BAD: {Strong Bad takes the record, and it gets displayed to the player} Whoa! There's something I haven't seen in like, forever! Strong Sad cried for days when I defaced this record into the most awesome album cover idea ever. I bet you could sell like a kajillion records if you put together an album cover like this.
Bass Guitar
- STRONG BAD: Strong Mad plays a heavy bass - literally. The strings are actually those cables they use to hold up bridges.
Dumbell
