Transcript
{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}
TV VOICE: And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.
STRONG SAD: Oh! I see now.
(Strong Bad enters.)
STRONG BAD: Hey, Dairy Queen.
STRONG SAD: I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!
STRONG BAD: Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.
STRONG SAD: {gets up, runs out of the room} Nobody buy the blue ones!
STRONG BAD: That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! {turns on the TV}
TUCKSWORTH: Caleb, are you making a little tent out of my jacket?
CALEB: I am now.
STRONG BAD: Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!
{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song} Homestaaaar is running. Along. Homestaaaar – {he suddenly stops and starts coughing profusely} Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? {composes himself} Okay, okay, calm down. Calm down. Remember health class. A-hem. (goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately} Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? {anguished} Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! {runs off}
{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate ice cream bars.}
KING OF TOWN: I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!
{Homestar runs in.}
POM POM: {greeting bubbling noises}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug! {kneels down in front of the King of Town} The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!
KING OF TOWN: Well, what do you want we should do?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Give me them dang ice creams! {grabs the ice cream bars} We'll freeze 'im out! {scarfs them}
KING OF TOWN: Hey! That stuff's prescription!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sobs} It deliciously didn't work! {pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks and Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed} Agh! (runs off}
{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}
CALEB: You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.
TUCKSWORTH: Caleb, that suitcase was heavy.
{Strong Sad enters.}
STRONG SAD: What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.
STRONG BAD: Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, and go away.
STRONG SAD: Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue and ones"! Good idea! {walks off}
{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a candle.}
BUBS: This is just fine!
{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the candle and throws away the envelope.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!
BUBS: A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. {examines a wad of business cards} Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aaaaah. {opens mouth}
BUBS: Hmm… {peers inside; Homestar makes a noise} Okay… {Homestar makes a noise} Curious, yes. {Homestar makes a noise} Interesting. {Homestar makes a noise} I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh no! Is it about the good times?
BUBS: I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. {Homestar looks annoyed} But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! {picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Bubs, are you an unethical quack?
BUBS: The most quackinest!
{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a frying pan in his lap.}
STRONG BAD: {imitating Tucksworth} Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? {imitating Caleb} I sure did.
{Homestar runs in.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad! I think I –
STRONG BAD: (silencing him} A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkell.
{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –
STRONG BAD: Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?
{Homestar leaves.}
TUCKSWORTH: Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {pops up from behind the couch} Strong Bad – {Strong Bad hits him with his skillet} Ugh. {falls down}
ANNOUNCER: And coming up next on Caleb Rentpayer, find out whom shot Caleb.
STRONG BAD: "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. No way.
{Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {yawns} That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?
{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}
STRONG BAD: Can't… miss… any of the action!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!
STRONG BAD: You've what? {tears his head from the TV}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.
STRONG BAD: Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad, I really need your help!
STRONG BAD: And I really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, that's easy. I did.
STRONG BAD: You-ka – wha?
TUCKSWORTH: Homestar Runner, did you shoot Caleb?
{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wears in the bet.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I sure did.
STRONG BAD: You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! (throws the remote at Homestar's face}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hiccup. (the bug flies out of his mouth} Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug did fly in my mouth!
STRONG BAD: Ugh… the good times are definitely over.
{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise.}
STRONG SAD: The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!
{end.} (after a while, the bug flies over the screen)
Fun Facts
Explanations
- A Boolean operator is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples).
- A "quack" is a person who acts like a normal physician, but really isn't, and dispenses strange or false medical advice and treatment.
Trivia
- Bubs's cards read:
Bubs Bail Bondsman, Extraordinaire pager: 555-7896 beeper: 555-3421
BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR
EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS
Bubs
Normal
Investigator
"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranormal Investigator!!"
"Dr." Bubs VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant
Remarks
- Bubs' e-mail address here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in unused emails. (This may or may not be related to Exhibit A and Exhibit B)
Goofs
- When Strong Sad turns around in front of the couch after talking about Boolean Operators, his leg appears behind the remote laying on the couch.
- When Strong Bad is duct taped to the TV, there are five pieces of tape. After he turns around, there are only four.
Inside References
- Bubs' Doctor card says VCR repair on it, which is a reference to the email 12:00.
- When we see Homestar running over the hill, it is similar to Old Intro 2.
- Bubs calls himself "the most quackinest". This is in reference to Pom Pom's character video, the page title of which is "The Most Mackinest".
- Caleb Rentpayer first appeared in secret recipes. This is the first time the show and Tucksworth have been named.
Real-World References
- The title of the toon is based on the name of the Foot and mouth disease, which is common among cattle.
- The page title (Don't...kill...bugs.) may possibly be a reference to Bob & Doug McKenzie's Great White North album. Specifically, it refers to the "Elron McKenzie" track, where Doug plays a preacher whose sermon deals with the importance of not killing bugs.
- The "Who shot Caleb?" episode is a reference to the shooting of J. R. Ewing on Dallas.
- When Strong Sad says, "I even did an image search..." he is probably referring to the Google Image Search, a search engine that lets you search for pictures instead of web pages.
