Transcript

MARZIPAN: Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-lay-lay. Lookin' pretty good. Homestar, come up here right now and watch the tofu please.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uhhh... Hang on. I'm um... doing... something.

MARZIPAN: Chop-chop, everyone's gonna be here any minute.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh, Marzipan, I hate to tell you this but, I don't think anyone's coming to your party. I think they're all going to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast!!

{invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast spins onto screen as the old CBS Special music plays}

MARZIPAN: What!? He scheduled something on the same day as the luau?

{scene transition to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat.}

STRONG BAD: Oh man you guys, this party's gonna be crazy-go-nuts! Check it out! I've got the marshmallows {spreads his hand over said marshmallows}, I've got all the latest releases from the artists of today {cut to boombox playing Poot Slap} and I've carefully filled out everybody's name tags. {close up of picnic table filled with name tags that all say "Hello, my name is Crap for Brains"} Oh, crap!! I forgot the wood! Come on guys, I know where we can hoard some.

{Scene cuts to Marzipan's backyard}

MARZIPAN: Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-l {Homestar interrupts with a sigh but Marzipan continues to sing} ay-lay.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I've gotta stop drinkin' so much melonade. I think I have a serious problem.

MARZIPAN: You're gonna have a problem if you don't come monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, a doo doo, a doo doo. A bab-dib do doo doo-- Oh! Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

STRONG SAD: Oh, about 20 minutes.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh, okay. {takes a step away} That's weird.

{scene transition to Strong Bad's backyard. Poot-Slap is playing in the background. Everybody is wearing their "Crap for Brains" name tag.}

STRONG BAD: Ah, Crap for Brains, glad to see you could make it! Oh, Crap for Brains, you lookin' good! Now, let's get this freakin' party started! {Lights a match} We'll just get this fire started here. With the little match, and the little fire. {holds match up to firewood, but it doesn't light} And this should probably be working already. Um, and I don't know why this isn't working.

{Cut to Marzipan's gazebo where Strong Sad is holding a book that says "Polynesian Prose".}

STRONG SAD: Kallo koo-koo lay ka ka loo {cut to the tofu where Homestar is standing. Strong Sad's poetry can be heard in the background.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {His head keeps drooping down, then coming back up, resisting the urge to fall asleep.} Soooo... huh! Boooooooooring.

{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where at least seven bent matches are sitting on the ground. Strong Bad is kneeling down next to the stack of firewood with a lit match}

STRONG BAD: {frustrated} UUUUUGH! (grumbling) Stupid matches, friggin' light the fire!

STRONG MAD: {rubs belly} UUUUUUG. HUNGRY!

BUBS: I'm with Strong Mad! I feel about as hungry as The King of Town on a Saturday!

STRONG BAD: I'm trying! I'm trying! Gtch!{taunting voice} Hello, my name is piece of wood and I don't wanna catch fire. Hello, my name is little MATCH, and I don't wanna MAKE a fire! {completely aggrivated} HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

{Strong Bad kicks a log. Homestar then walks onto the scene.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm coming to your stupid party.

POM-POM: {bubbles}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh man, Pom-pom! I love Marzipan and everything, but it was terrible!

POM-POM: {bubbles}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, I don't think she'll notice I'm gone.

{cut to Marzipan's gazebo, where Marzipan is playing her ukelele and Strong Sad is reading poetry. Next to the tofu cooking is another piece of tofu, with Homestar's head drawn on it. It is on top of a piece of tofu which has Homestar's body drawn on it. They are being held up by two long sticks. The tofu cooking catches fire.}

{cut back to Strong Bad's roast. Strong Bad is trying yet again, and unsuccessfully, to make a fire.}

COACH Z: What kind of wood you usin' there, Strong Bad? 'Cause I know a guy who-

STRONG BAD: I don't know man, I just got this stuff from Marzipan's backyard.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh-oh. You didn't get it from behind the gazebo, did you?

STRONG BAD: Yeah, why?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, it all started when I decided to drink 32 glasses of melonade...

BUBS: Look! There's a fire over there!

{suddenly, smoke arises from somewhere, then everyone looks at each other and runs, except for Strong Bad.}

STRONG BAD: Come back you guys, things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!

{shows everyone running, then they get to Marzipan's tofu cooking place (the place the fire was coming from) and eats their marshmallows}

MARZIPAN: Look Strong Sad, everybody's here!

STRONG SAD: Oh, how glorious.

MARZIPAN: Hey everybody, how's the tofu? Everybody loves tofu! {musical sting, then transition to Strong Bad's place, where he has finally given up. Scattered bags of unopened marshmallows are sitting on the ground.}

STRONG BAD: Hey, you guys, come back! I think I got it all figured out! Oh, man! What am I supposed to do with all these leftover marshmallows? I got like, 400 pounds!

THE KING OF TOWN: {walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.} Excuse me. But did I hear you say... leftovers?

{close up of a nametag reading "the end for brains"}

{transition to Marzipan's backyard, where Marzipan is talking to the tofu model of Homestar. There is a flame on his head tofu.}

MARZIPAN: Thanks for helping me out with my party, Homestar. I think it was a really big success! (she nuzzles him) You've been really nice to me these last few minutes! {Tofu Homestar's "head" falls off. Blackout, record scratch} Put your head back on this instant!

{The end!}

Easter Eggs

• Wait a little while after "the end" and see a luau main page.

Fun Facts

• Strong Bad's invitation says "Your invited", misspelling "you're". Odd to see, coming from someone who is always correcting/insulting bad grammar and spelling.
• One of the phrases of "Polynesian prose" that Strong Sad recites -- while Homestar is dozing off by the fire -- is "Kahlua and Creme".
• The tune Marzipan is playing on the ukelele is the song "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game 'Audition with Marzipan'
• You can access the Spin n' Say from the luau main page.
• At one point, Strong Sad begins to say "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho" while reading the poetry. This is what Jambi on Peewee's Playhouse used as his magic words.
• When you first see Strong Sad standing next to the fire, in the background, you see the lights across the fence somehow seem to just stop from where scene view would have ended.
• Interestingly, Strong Bad's Ghetto Blastro displays moving bars even when it isn't playing
