Transcript
{Marzipan is sitting on her sofa holding a book called "Algonquin Stew".}
MARZIPAN: You know, Homestar, I disagree with what you said about the underlying theme of Chapter 8 in this book. It's really not about man's struggle with double-sided tape. It's a metaphor for the Mesopotamian social hierarchy during the bronze age.
{Shift view to see a cardboard cutout of Homestar wearing glasses and with a butterfly instead of a propeller on his cap. Marzipan supplies the cutout's voice, imitating Homestar's. When she does, she gains a heavy brow and an underbite.}
CARDBOARD HOMESTAR: Seriously, Marzipan, how do you get so smart? Don't you see you are a smart?
MARZIPAN: Well thanks, Homestar. I guess I am kind of smart.
{Title screen: "Quality Time with Cardboard Homestar"} {Cut to a scene in Marshmallow's Last Stand. Strong Sad is playing violin and has a mustache.}
MARZIPAN: Oh, thank you, Homestar. This is so romantic.
CARDBOARD HOMESTAR: You are so smart, Marzy-pan.
{Scene of Marzipan adding flaxseed oil to something in a bowl in her kitchen.}
MARZIPAN: And I always like to add a drop of flaxseed oil. Gotta get those Omega-3s in!
CARDBOARD HOMESTAR: Marzipan, you're so smart.
{Scene of Marzipan playing guitar and singing in the Field.}
MARZIPAN: Marshmallows are fluffy;
CARDBOARD HOMESTAR: You are so smart Marzipan.
{Marzipan is at Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs puts a carton of eggs on the counter.}
BUBS: There you go, Marzipan! My last batch of organic batteries.
MARZIPAN: Thanks, Bubs!
CARDBOARD HOMESTAR: You shop so smart, Marzipan.
BUBS: Yeah. When is ol' Homestar gettin' back from vacation?
MARZIPAN: Oh. He, um, decided to stay for a couple more days. {Smiles nervously} Yeah, couple more days, yeah. {Smiles nervously again}
{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Her closet door is boarded shut. Homestar's voice comes from within.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Marzipan? Marzipan? Can you let me out now? I'm pretty sure there's no cake in here. It's been about three weeks now, and you'd think I would have found it. All I've been able to find in here is some coats, and a broom. Unless it's a broomcake! Is it a broomcake? Ooh, let's try this broomcake. {Noises of labored eating.} {Weakly} Uh, Marzipan? This is a really bad broomcake. {With renewed vigor} Ptooey! Can you let me out, please? Oh wait: coatcake?
{The scene goes black and "end." appears.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Excitedly} Maybe it's a coatcake!
