STRONG BAD: {singing over a guitar tune} I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on wiiiiings; of an emaiiil...
{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}
STRONG BAD: Thanks, man.
STRONG SAD: No prob., Bob.
{Cut back to the Lappy.}
subject: alternate univer$eDear Strong Bad,
Got some ?'s for you:
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars?
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow?
Jody (not a gir), TX
{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", "girl" for "gir", and "Texas" for "TX".}
STRONG BAD: {says everything inside brackets normally} Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl.
Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.
{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Gamebody is in the blender.}
STRONG BAD: Isn't that right The Cheat?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: What? This thing only cost us forteen bucks?
THE CHEAT: {Agreement noise}
STRONG BAD: Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?
THE CHEAT: {Single "squeak"}
STRONG BAD: {leans towards The Cheat suddenly} All right! Mass go on that blender!
{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Gamebody intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}
STRONG BAD: Oh-ho-ho! Swirly photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... {The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad} what? I ju-just jump in?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: {leaning backwards} Obi-kabi! {Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl} Jump!
{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BUILDING..."}
