Transcript

{Strong Bad and Homestar are seen standing around in a mysterious blue space. Strong Bad is looking around.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, Strong Bad, could you give me a hand with this—

STRONG BAD: {interrupting, holding a hand up to silence Homestar} Wait a minute, shut up. Where the crap are we?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I dunno. Someplace.

STRONG BAD: What're we doing here? {looks behind him at the blue background} It's like we're in Blue Fadey Land or something. {faces Homestar}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uhhhm... maybe this is heaven! {cheerful} We're dead!

STRONG BAD: No, it can't be heaven. There's not enough Twinkies.

{Homestar looks to his left, and produces a Twinkie from offscreen.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Here's a Twinkie.

STRONG BAD: Oh. {looks to his right} Maybe this is heaven!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, and it's just you and me, forever!

{Strong Bad slowly turns his head toward the camera as Homestar says this. As Strong Bad speaks, the background fades into a red gradient.}

STRONG BAD: Wait a minute... this isn't heaven!!!

{Strong Bad flies to the left side of the screen and starts pounding on it, screaming.}

STRONG BAD: WAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGHH!!!!!!!

{Strong Bad slides down off the bottom of the screen.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, you're right. I think it's Massachusetts.

{Homestar smiles.}

Easter Eggs

  • Click on Homestar's twinkie at the end to see Homestar use it as a telephone.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {imitating telephone} Brinnng! Brinnng!
{Homestar holds the Twinkie up to his ear.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hello? Senator Pencilface. Yes, this is Homestar. Yes sir, I can save the day!
{He puts the Twinkie down in midair with a telephone click noise. Then he looks to his left and lifts his leg up as if to run off, then stops, puts his leg down and looks around.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um... I really don't think there's a way out of here.
