DAVEY: Mmm. French fries. OTHER GUY: Mmm. Yeah, they're good. Gee, Davey,	Two powered by the Cheat style hand puppets, against a blue polka dotted background. "Other guy" is screen left, and has orange hair, french fries in his mouth, taupe skin, and a blue shirt with crudely drawn box of french fries on it. "Davey" is screen right, wearing a beanie cap with propellor, a round face, and a red shirt with a lower-case "d" on it. He is holding a box of french fries in his left hand. An overlay appears: They Might Be Giants w/ Strong Bad "Crystal Fortress" Dir: Haddi-man and The Cheat
Strong Bad always seems so hostile. I bet he doesn't even know how much everybody loves him. DAVEY: Nope, nope. I don't think so either. OTHER GUY: Nope. DAVEY: I've written a song I think'll make Strong Bad understand. OTHER GUY: Oh?	The overlay disappears. French fries are visible when Davey speaks.

DAVEY: Her head is bowed	Tight shot of the pink unicorn, with stars for eyes against a light green background and lighter flowers.
