STRONG BAD: Strong Bad Email! Makes money! Strong Bad Email! Gets paid! {loads the email}
subject: just wondering... Dear Strongbad, What would you do different, if you could do it all over again? Crapfully yours, Richie Z Can-A-Duh
{Strong Bad says "Totally not gettin' old" in place of "Crapfully yours."}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach Zed as you Canucks call him. Whoa. Coach Zed. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad! Thanks, Richie! Your pal, SB {says as "Sed Bed"} {clears screen} Alright, what would I do different? Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over. It's no secret that one of my biggest stnanks was involving Ali and Ali's sister. If I had to do that over again, there's no way I'd mess it up. Here's just what I'd do:
{The screen blurs as we cut to the broken Tandy 400, and the first email from sisters is onscreen.}
STRONG BAD: Ah! There's two of them! {places a candle next to the computer, clears the screen, and starts typing to romantic music} Well, Ali. There's ONE of me, and I'd like to cordially invite myself over to your place tonight for dinner and afterdinner mints. After afterdinner mints, you and your sister, Ali Jr. I'll call her, can fight to the death over me. Wait. {music stops} No. Hold on. No, no dying. {He only types one "no."} Um, {music restarts} we should have an egg drop soup eating contest. {the music comes to a scratching halt} Hang on. I can't remember what happens next. {stops typing} The Cheat!
{Homestar Runner walks up on his knees. He's colored himself to look like The Cheat.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Woo woo wee woo woo!
STRONG BAD: Oh, this is hilarious. Homestar, where's The Cheat?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Squeakicoo! I'm The Cheat!
STRONG BAD: Oh, really. Then what—
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {stands up} Surprise! Strong Bad, it's me! Homestar Runner! From school!
STRONG BAD: Ugh! I need The Cheat!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, okay. {gets down on his knees again} Meh.
STRONG BAD: That's not what I meant. Uh, I guess you'll have to do. Ahem. All right, The Cheat. I need you to help me with my award-winning rewrite of the Ali and Ali's sister email. There's two of them!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Skooko wibbo wee! You should serenade them! I can play the drums!
STRONG BAD: Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's go practice!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {jumping up} I can play the drums!
{Cut to The Field. Strong Bad sings into a microphone while Homestar bangs on a drum.}
STRONG BAD: {singing... sorta} Don't you know I have a {feedback noise} BIG OL' RED HEAD! And a fat little body! And I never change my cloooothes! {high pitched, resulting in another feedback noise} No, I never change my cloooothes!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh, Strong Bad? I think I'm falling for you. {little hearts bubble over Homestar}
{cut back to the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: {typing} No, no, no, no, no. That is not right at all. Making Homestar dressed as The Cheat fall in love with me is not what I had in mind! Whatever. Who cares? I didn't want to go to Sally's house anydangway! {clears screen} Anyways, what else? I always felt a little bad about kicking The Cheat in email 23. Let's try that one again!
{cut to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from little animal on it}
STRONG BAD: ...crapfully yours, Ashley and Anthony. {clears screen, types} Well, Ash and Ant, or Ley and Thony, or Shle and Ntho, or whatever you like to be called, if a little animal came up to me, I'd give him a pat on the head, a tuna-flavored treat, and some sage advice.
{cut back to reveal Homestar - still in his The Cheat disguise - standing next to Strong Bad}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Meh, Strong Bad. Meh.
STRONG BAD: Oh, no way! This does not count! You are not gettin' any fish cookies outta me! But I will give you that sage advice and and a, ahem, "pat" on the head. {starts hitting Homestar with his keyboard} DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!
{Strong Mad walks up and glares menacingly at Strong Bad.}
STRONG MAD: DON'T HURT THE CHEAT!!!
STRONG BAD: No, big guy, that's not The Cheat. That's Homestar! From school!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Meedley mee! I'm The Cheat! I'm not from school! Moooooo! {Strong Mad smiles for a moment.}
STRONG BAD: Uh, The Cheat's not a cow, you know...
{Strong Mad picks Strong Bad up by the leg and starts shaking him. Coins fall out of his pockets and Homestar eats them from off the ground.}
STRONG MAD: THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!!!
STRONG BAD: Stop it! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: It makes me all jangly inside! {shakes around as the coins rattle inside him}
{cut back to the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: {typing} All right, it's become abundantly clear that THIS is the email I should be redoing. Lappy, if you please. {The test disappears as the computer displays "Do Over!!!" with an accompanying explosion effect.} DO OVER!! {the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:} What would I do differently, Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. {the scene cuts back to show the desk} Those things looked a-pretty good!
{Homestar leans in, still in disguise and carrying a bag that says "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS."}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Meeeeeeh?
STRONG BAD: No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret nothing!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sadly leaving the screen} Meeeeeeh...
STRONG BAD: Phew!
{The Paper comes down. A few seconds later, Strong Bad pushes the back of his head a few times and coins come out of his mouth.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on "Coach Zed" to make a Peanuts-styled drawing of Coach Z appear.
- Click on the Floppy Disk Container at the end of the email to see The Cheat (disguised as Homestar Runner with kiss marks) and Marzipan together.
MARZIPAN: Homestar, can you pass the soy crisps?
THE CHEAT: {squeals in delight}
{The Cheat hands Marzipan a bag labeled "Crisps A-Soy!"}

Remarks

*Knowing that Homestar's "arms" are invisible, he may be doing this and it can't be noticed.
Goofs
