Transcript

{The Field is visible in the background in full color as the foreground is pitch black with a shed to the left. The entrance of Homestar Runner's house is seen to the right in the same silhouetted fashion. Music begins playing and Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are seen leaving the house and walking towards the shed.}

{Zoom in full to the Shed with Homestar Runner and Strong Bad}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh man, Strong Bad. You're not gonna believe this thing. {Opens front shed door} Wait until you see this thing! {Takes out a large container, drops it in front of Strong Bad, and takes off the lid} This thing's gonna take a life! Blow your mind! Break your nose!

STRONG BAD: And shut the dang up and let's see it already!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay. Uhm. It's uhm... It's right... Uhm... {starts looking back and forth frantically}

STRONG BAD: Homestar, did you ramble on for some long that you forgot what you were going to show me?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uhm, no. And furthermore, no. {looks into the container} And it uhm, is... {pulls a rubber burger out of the container} Squeakburger. {squeezes it twice} Burger burger.

STRONG BAD: {looking down into the container} Whoa! Look at this! {grabs an item from the container}

{cut to view of Strong Bad holding the book}

STRONG BAD: The Homestar Runner and The Brothers Strong? An unfinished second children's book by Mike and Craig?! {Mike and Craig's names are censored when Strong Bad says them and Mike's name is covered with a brown marker}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I've never heard of either one of them. I think those are terrible!

STRONG BAD: Come on, let's read it right dang now!

{Cut to a storybook cover of Homestar Runner standing in front of a red and yellow submarine with a white star on it.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: The Homestar Runner and the bathyscaphe. A book where I take an underwater intrique, man. Underwater pant.

{The storybook cover bursts as a cloud}

STRONG BAD: Uh, maybe I should read it.

{Cut to storybook cover of Homestar Runner and the Brothers Strong}

STRONG BAD: The Homestar Runner and the Brothers Strong aka Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold aka old glue turns gross and brown and you let it sit around for 10 years.

{transition to the first page of the book}

STRONG BAD: Everyone loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {moves up} Ding!

{page turn}

STRONG BAD: Tomorrow is the annual triathalon. {cut to a scene with Pom Pom, Homestar Runner, and Mr. Bland all praciticing} Homestar Runner and his team, the All-Stars {says All-Stars sluggishly and the respective words sink on the page} is practicing as we speak.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Whistle live, Pom Pom! {blows his whistle} Come on guys! Whistle to the max! {blows his whistle multiple times}

{cut to Strong Mad, Tiny-Handed Strong Bad, and Strong Sad in the field with a jukebox}

STRONG BAD: The Homestar Runner's Rivals, Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad {says Strong Sad sluggishly and the respective words on the page sink} are having a hot team meeting.

TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD: Strong Sad. You are too weak. You must be replaced by... {The Cheat walks up from the right and makes a The Cheat noise} Dijjery-Doo! {Dijjery-Doo walks up from the right side as The Cheat makes a displeased noise}

{Cut back to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad reading the storybook in The Field}

STRONG BAD: The heck is Dijjery-Doo?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I tried to warn ya. I washed my hands before this whole affair.

STRONG BAD: I guess he looks kinda cool. Maybe he'll turn out alright.

{Cut back to the storybook with Tiny-Handed Strong Bad and Dijjery-Doo}

DIJJERY-DOO: Hey Strong Bad. I just want to say how happy I am to be a part of the team. And the ah! {Dijjery-Doo's right tooth falls out as both Dijjery-Doo and Tiny-Handed Strong Bad look at it}

TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD: I'm immediately regretting this decision.

STRONG BAD: Said uncharacteristically candid Strong Bad.

{Cut to the All-Stars training as Strong Sad walks dejectedly in the foreground}

STRONG BAD: Rejected, Strong Sad moped pass the All-Stars.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's {blows his whistle multiple times} wrong? {blows his whistle even more}

STRONG BAD: Said the greatest communicator on the planet.

{cut to close-up shot with just Strong Sad and The Homestar Runner}

STRONG SAD: My brother's kicked me off the team and replaced me with Dijj—

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {interrupting} Yeah, yeah. We know all that. Chin up and start getting ready for next year.

{cut to wider shot of the All-Stars walking to the right}

STRONG BAD: said The Homestar Runner as they left to compete.

{cut to a silhouetted shot of everybody at the starting line}

STRONG BAD: All the teams lined up for the first event. {cut to shot of the banner above the starting line} Running!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm getting chills to see how I dominated this one!

{pan down to the starting line with just Pom Pom and Strong Mad}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Wait, what? {music stops} Pom Pom?

{cut back to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad reading the book in the field}

STRONG BAD: I'm more worried about how this is clearly roller-skating. Is that what they called running in the mid-nineties?

THE ANNOUNCER: Ready! Set! {Strong Mad starts skating} Go! {Pom Pom starts skating}

STRONG BAD: Strong Mad gets an early lead. And wins!

{Cut to a scoreboard}

STRONG BAD: After the first time, the Strong Stars have a lead. {The Grape Fairie appears and changes the Strong Star's score to 1} On to the next event: {Cut to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad at the pool} Swimming! {Cut to The Homestar Runner on his submarine} The Homestar Runner wins! What!?

{Cut back to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad in The Field}

STRONG BAD: You get a friggin' submarine and all's I get is a fish crammed through my head?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, you know. Standard Gellegiate Swimming Rules. Please chant them.

{Cut to the Grape Fairie with a giant scroll with the title "Standard Gellegiate Swimming Rules"}

THE GRAPE FAIRIE: Rule 1: The Homestar Runner gets a state-of-the-art bathyscaphe-type situation. Rule 2: Strong Bad... fish crammed through his head.

STRONG BAD: Now his team is even with Strong Bad's teamm. Whoever wins the last event gets the gold!

{Cut to The Storybook Field with a banner above it reading "Flying!". Mr. Bland and Dijjery-Doo and seen, with Mr. Bland a pair of wings and Dijjery-Doo a small propeller.}

STRONG BAD: Everyone's ready for the flying event! {Cut to a close-up of Mr. Bland as The Cheat walks up to him} Suddenly, Strong Bad's minion {The Cheat makes agreeing noises} The Sneak, {The Old-Timey The Sneak, with no storybook stylizing, walks up in front of The Cheat in front of Mr. Bland with a wooden baseball bat in his mouth. The Cheat walks away angrily.} cripples Mr. Bland. {Mr. Bland and The Sneak devolve into a fighting cloud of dust as The Sneak emerges fine and Mr. Bland badly injured and his wings beaten up} Everyone else takes off. {Dijjery-Doo's propeller begins to turn and he abruptly takes off}

{cut to Pom Pom and The Homestar Runner looking at the crippled Mr. Bland}

STRONG BAD: Whta will the All-Stars do?

{cut to The Homestar Runner in the foreground and Strong Sad in the background}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Sad, come take these broken wings {holds up Mr. Bland's broken wings} and learn how to fly.

{There is a white flash as it cuts back to before The Homestar Runner says his line to Strong Sad}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Sad, you've got to fly. {holds up Mr. Bland's broken wings} Fly to the angels.

{There is a white flash as it cuts back to before The Homestar Runner says his line to Strong Sad}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Sad, you're motoring. {holds up Mr. Bland's broken wings} What's your price for flight?

STRONG BAD: said Homestar.

{cut to a team picture of Pom Pom, Strong Sad, and The Homestar Runner}

STRONG BAD: Strong Sad was now an All-Star! They were back in business. {cut to a silhouette of The Field as Strong Sad and Dijjery-Doo are both in the sky flying} Strong Sad was making all kinds of ground. He sure has a knack for this flying stuff.

STRONG SAD: I'm glad that I'm flying! {Strong Sad suddenly sports long legs with red heels, akin to Strong Glad's design} Woo-hoo!

TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD: Eww!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um...no. Just no.

COACH Z: I am into this!

BUBS: I don't like it! And I am now in this book.

{cut back to the cover of Homestar Runner and The Brothers Strong as a sticker reading "now with 100% more Bubs!" is slapped onto it}

{cut back to Dijjery-Doo in the sky}

STRONG BAD: Dijjery-Doo was being passed by the high-flying Strong Sad.

TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD: Dijjery-Do something, Dijjery-Doo.

STRONG BAD: said master wordsmith Strong Bad. {cut back to Dijjery-Doo} He made a last-ditch effort to sabotage the All-Stars.

DIJJERY-DOO: Okay, Strong Bad. I've got {pulls out a red and yellow missile} this little thing here. Oh! {Dijjery-Doo fumbles with the missile as his right tooth falls out as he falls from the sky with the missile in his hands.}

{cut to Tiny-Handed Strong Bad looking up as Dijjery-Doo's disembodied right-tooth penetrates his forehead and he falls on his back. Dijjery-Doo lands on top of Tiny-Handed Strong Bad as the missile subsequently explodes. Dijjery-Doo's propellor is destroyed and part of Tiny-Handed Strong Bad's head is blown off.}

STRONG BAD: Dijjery-Doo's plan backfired. {music stops} Uh, yeah, you think? You sure you didn't want to use any more adjectives there? Like, catastrophically head-chunkularly {both words are are edited into the book} backfired? Maybe?

{cut to the scoreboard as The Grape Fairie raises the All-Star's score to 2}

STRONG BAD: The All-Stars win! {cut to the whole storybook crew as Strong Sad stands in the middle with a medallion and glamerous legs} Getting the gold for The Homestar Runner changed Strong Sad. He is now Strong Glad. {the music in the background raises in volume as Strong Sad begins to dance. The rest of the storybook characters begin to back away}

{cut to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad in The Field reading the storybook}

STRONG BAD: Yo, is this gonna leave Strong Sad with those... {his mouth trembles} those...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: HLL's? Hot Lady Legs? Yeah. I told you it was terrible!

STRONG BAD: Yeah, that piece of masking tape knows what it's talking about. That was some premium grade-a {cut to masking tape with the words "old H*R crap" written on it} old Homestar Runner crap.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, hey, look! {holds up whistle} I found my old whistle! {makes whistle sounds, but not with the whistle}

STRONG BAD: Yeah, uh, I don't think you're using that right.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {continues to make more whistle noises} And so dings a new era in Homestar Runner talk! {makes more whistle noises}

STRONG BAD: Oh...

{Homestar Runner makes more whistle noises as he walks off-screen to the right}

STRONG BAD: Fantastic.

{cut to silhouette of The Shed and The House as Homestar Runner walks to his house while making whistle noises}

STRONG BAD: I sure hope this continues for the next 20 years. {Homestar peeks out of his house making more whistle noises}

{cut to the Homestar Runner logo with the star replaced with a whistle and the numbers "1996—2016" below it. The logo moves as Homestar Runner makes more whistle noises}

{Cut to the Lappy. Gavin is crawling on the screen. The lights are out. Strong Bad is not present. The lights suddenly turn on and Gavin crawls away.}

STRONG BAD: {Walks in} Ahem. {out of key} Email song that's really GREeaat?!

{The Lappy buzzes and displays "ERROR - insufficient email song."}

STRONG BAD: What?! Must be outta practice. Okay, here goes... song is long, is long, is long, is song is an email song.

{A "thump" is heard and the lappy shakes.}

STRONG BAD: Well, sorry! Jeez! You don't have to get violent.

{Some more thumps.}

STRONG BAD: Wait a minute, what is that?!

{Cut to wide.}

{Homestar Runner has made a small shanty underneath the desk. A sign says "Homestar's Place." Homestar has a juice box skewered on a stick and is roasting it over a flashlight.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh hey, Strong Bad. Juice box?

STRONG BAD: Homestar! Since when did I say you could take up residence underneath my sbemail desk?!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, well, you hadn't used it in so long I just figured... you know... squatter's rights.

STRONG BAD: I'm about to squat on your rights if you don't get outta here, you filthy hobo!

{Homestar stands up}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aw, come on, Mr. Roper! I could help out around the house! I'm a real super athlete. You oughta see me climb and stuff. Maybe you should introduce me to—

STRONG BAD: Yeah, alright shut up. I suppose I could use your help. The Lappy's broken and it says I need some bozo to sing it an email song or else I can't check-a my email.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooh! Email songs are my forte. Or perhaps my fiftay!

{Cut to Lappy. Both Homestar and Strong Bad's heads are reflected into the screen.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ya gotta, email ding-dong ding-dong, I wanna, email ding-dong ding-dong, I gotta—.

{The Lappy displays "Close enough" and the email comes up.}

subject: kitchen appliance

Dear STRONG BAD!!!
If you could be a kitchen appliance what would it be? and why?
waiting in anticipation.

Victoria AUS

{They both start reading at the same time.}

STRONG BAD: Hey, one at a time!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, okay.

{Strong Bad starts reading the email from the beginning. Homestar does too, at the same time, albeit in a higher voice.}

STRONG BAD: Stoopface! Look, I'll tell ya what. We'll alternate words. Dear...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Dear... I mean, STRONG!

STRONG BAD: BAD!

{This continues. Homestar reads "Victoria". Strong Bad says:}

STRONG BAD: from austree-alia-lenberger combo. Well, Vicky—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: — you worthless sack o' crap!

STRONG BAD: Homestar, no! She might be slightly attractive...or loaded.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just tryin' to help.

{Homestar's head leaves the screen.}

STRONG BAD: Well, Vischyssoise, who hasn't spent romantic nights in front of the fireplace, gazing into that special someone's eyes, talking about what kitchen appliance they would be? I had {small cough} girlfriend in {small cough} college that used to want to be a panini press. In fact that was her name I think. Good ol', hot ol' Panini Press. But I always saw myself as a beigish-tan 200 cc food processor called the Oh-bliterator Thousand! I'd look as much like me as a food processor possibly could.

{Cut to a beige food processor.}

STRONG BAD: ...which apparently isn't very much. i'd have four my-mouth colored buttons labelled puree, frappe—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Crushe, smushe, and offe. {The buttons appear as he says them.}

STRONG BAD: Potatoes would curly-cue themselves at the very sight of me! I could julienne a phonebook into a metal can. And maybe turn whatsit into gold!

{Cut to the King of Town sitting in his castle, watching TV. He spit-takes.}

KING OF TOWN: EXCUSE ME?!

{Cut to the Oh-bliterator Thousand on a counter}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {offscreen} It would have cool flames all on it and gashuffers comin' out of the sides, and shoot lasers at hot girls!

{Cool flames and gashuffers appear on it. It shoots lasers, and there are some female screams.}

STRONG BAD: Homestar, NO! {Cut to the Computer Room} You don't need to go all Strong Bad on this one. No lasers this time!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Cool flames!!

STRONG BAD: BEIGISH TAN!!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: GASHUFFERS!!

{Cut to the Oh-bliterator Thousand. A mouth and eyes appear on the food processor.}

FOOD PROCESSOR: STOP FIGHTING! STOP FIGHTING! ALL YOU GUYS EVER DO ANYMORE IS FIGHT! AND I'M SICK OF IT! I'M GOING TO MY ROOM!

{It storms off the counter. Cut to the computer room.}

STRONG BAD: Woah. Guess we upset our imaginary food processor stepson.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, he's just going through a phase. AND NO INTENDO, YOUNG MAN! YOU HEAR ME?!

{A yellow explosion shape pops up that reads "That's Right!"}

STRONG BAD: That's right! You get the Oh-bliterator, the cleaning kit, and the interesting branch all for only 20 low payments of 4 easy installments!

{The objects appear as he says them.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, I'd be a fork! {Cut to a fork against a blue background.} A taped up fork! {Tape covers the fork.} A brown taped up fork! {The fork turns brown.} We'd live right next to each other on Mother Goose's countertop! We would alternate words while reciting clever rhymes that help kids remember to do their chores.

{It shows them on a counter top in their kitchen appliance forms.}

HOMESTAR AND STRONG BAD: {Alternating, with Strong Bad starting and ending} Make your bed, or you'll be dead, by morning.

{A green plastic bag sealer bounces onscreen and repeats, higher:}

COACH Z: By morning!

{Cut to Marzipan}

MARZIPAN: Excuse me!

{Cut to Strong Bad, Homestar, and Coach Z crammed on the kitchen counter in various ways.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, hey, Marzipan, we was just uh, looking
HOMESTAR RUNNER: out
STRONG BAD: from
HOMESTAR RUNNER: within
COACH Z: ourselves?!

MARZIPAN: {in a sarcastic tone} I really don't know why you guys don't have girlfriends.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: But what about—?

MARZIPAN: You heard me.

{The Paper comes down}

Easter Eggs

• Click on Homestar's head at the end to see the kitchen appliance variations. (Strong Bad as the Oh-bliterator Thousand, Homestar's version of the Oh-Bliterator Thousand, the mouth and eyes on the Oh-bliterator Thousand, Homestar as the brown taped-up fork, and Coach Z as the plastic sealer bag.)
• Click on Strong Bad's mouth to see a commercial:

{Cut to a burger shaped like Australia}

ANNOUNCER: {In a fast-speaking, quiet voice} Try the austree-alia-lenburger combo. For a limited time, pay ten dollars and eighty-nine cents. This isn't one of our best burgers. I wouldn't recommend it. Comes with fries and a milkshake. Certain children get prizes.

Fun Facts

Explanations

• The lights are off and Gavin is shown on the Lappy because it had been 7 weeks since the previous Strong Bad Email.
  • There was a similar occurrence of this in the email army.
• Vichyssoise is a thick soup made of puréed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream, and chicken stock.

Trivia

• The label so the disk in the floppy disk container reads "low G man".
• The email heavily acknowledges the seven-week delay since the previous email.
• Marzipan broke up with Homestar at the end of the email.

Remarks

• Clicking on Gavin at the beginning of the email still makes the Lappy 486 respond with the ripple effect, as if you were clicking directly on the screen.

Goofs

• When Strong Bad turns around to see Homestar under his desk, his laces disappear for one frame.
• When the food processor storms off the counter, he disappears just before the scene changes.
• When Homestar and Strong Bad start fighting, the words 'Lappy 486' are further to the left than usual.

Inside References

• Strong Bad mentions having a girlfriend in college.
• Strong Bad as a food processor could maybe turn whatsit into gold.
• The burger commercial Easter egg is similar to the Homestar Jr. commercial from Where's The Cheat?. The phrase "Certain children get prizes" is from that toon.

Real-World References

• The email contains a reference to Nintendo.
• Mr. Roper was the hard-nosed landlord in Three's Company.

Fast Forward

• Homestar roasting a juicebox will later end up as part of 4 branches, but using a real fire instead of a flashlight.
