+ | |||
+ | ''{Cut to a hilly pasture, as a harp strum plays and a butterfly passes by. Pan over to reveal three sheep standing by a fence, with the King of Town's castle and several hills in the horizon. One of the sheep bleats.}'' | ||

+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | '''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sweating}'' My sheep are missing! My sheep are missing! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''{Cut to a pasture where several sheep are grazing and bleating. A pink dragon appears from behind the hills, growling, and eats one of the sheep, taking a bite out of the hill at the same time. The dragon then disappears behind the hills.}'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | [And I'm afraid a dragon has gobbled them up!] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''{Cut back to the castle interior, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom have appeared, facing the King. The Knight has appeared beside the King. A harp strum plays.}'' | ||

{Open to a white background.}
TEXT: [This is the King of Town]
{The King of Town appears under the text with a cartoon sound effect; a few inches above his head is his crown, which hangs for a bit before falling on his head. The text moves to the left and off the screen.}
{Cut to a hilly pasture, as a harp strum plays and a butterfly passes by. Pan over to reveal three sheep standing by a fence, with the King of Town's castle and several hills in the horizon. One of the sheep bleats.}
[He is a good king and he rules the land quite nicely]
{Cut to the inside of the castle, near a window. The King is pacing back and forth nervously, sweating.}
[But he worries all the time.]
THE KING OF TOWN: {sweating} My sheep are missing! My sheep are missing!
{Cut to a pasture where several sheep are grazing and bleating. A pink dragon appears from behind the hills, growling, and eats one of the sheep, taking a bite out of the hill at the same time. The dragon then disappears behind the hills.}
[And I'm afraid a dragon has gobbled them up!]
{Cut back to the castle interior, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom have appeared, facing the King. The Knight has appeared beside the King. A harp strum plays.}
[So he called Homestar Runner and Pom Pom and asked if they would help.]
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {nods} Ooookay!
{Cut to The Blacksmith at his shop, where there is a hearth above an anvil. Homestar and Pom Pom are facing him. Metal is heard striking in the background.}
[So they questioned the Blacksmith...]
THE BLACKSMITH: {shrugs}
{Cut to The Poopsmith at his pile of whatsit, where there are flies buzzing around. Homestar and Pom Pom are facing him. Splats are heard in the background.}
[They questioned the Poopsmith...]
THE POOPSMITH: {shrugs}
{Cut to The Little Chef Guy at the castle interior, where there is a pantry stocked with foods and a large piece of meat with a knife stuck in it, spilling blood on the floor. Kitchen ambience is heard in the background.}
[And finally they questioned the King's Chef...]
THE LITTLE CHEF GUY: {nods}
{Homestar and Pom Pom look at each other, surprised. An exclamation mark appears over their heads. With a harp strum, the King of Town's coat of arms appears, growing to cover the screen as a transition into the next scene, where it is placed on the wall. The King, Poopsmith, Chef, Knight, and Blacksmith stand in a group before Homestar and Pom Pom. There are flies buzzing around The Poopsmith.}
[So they gathered everyone together]
{A blackboard falls onto the wall over the coat of arms, and a graduate cap and pointer fall into Homestar's head and "hand" from above. Cut to a closer shot of Homestar at the blackboard.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I have found that the King's sheep were not eaten by a dragon.
{As he says this, a sheep appears on the blackboard, which Homestar moves to the left with his pointer, after which he points to the right side of the blackboard, where a drawing of the dragon appears. He draws a big red "X" over the dragon with the pointer. Cut to a closeup of the King of Town.}
THE KING OF TOWN: Phew!
{Cut back to Homestar at the blackboard, with a drawing of a sheep.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {opening his mouth wide} But, they were eaten! {he points to the drawing as a bite mark appears on the sheep}
{Cut back to the King}
THE KING OF TOWN: {sweating} Oh, no! What could have done such a thing?
{Cut to a wide shot of Homestar, Pom Pom and the King. The blackboard is gone.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Why don't you ask yourself, King? {pokes King's belly with pointer}
{Cut back to a closeup of the King}
THE KING OF TOWN: {blushes} Oh, yeah. They were delicious! {burps; his crown jumps}
{Cut to the outside of the castle as everyone laughs. Zoom out of the castle to focus on a sheep grazing in the field. The sheep bleats.}
