Transcripts

Disc One FBI Warning

{The standard FBI warning text appears on a background with constantly shifting colors. Homestar walks in and gives the text a glace}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: BORING!

{Homestar walks away}

Disc One Intro

{A 3D rendered Strong Bad enters the computer room}

STRONG BAD: And all the ladies say "Strong bad is on point"

{Strong Bad throws the lightswitch and a lightswitch rave starts up with The System is Down}

STRONG BAD: WAH! {shuts off switch} Wrong switch. {starts walking toward the Compy 386} Oh, my mouth tastes like... DVDs.

{The Cheat walks up to Strong Bad, singing to himself, and we can see Strong Sad peering in from the other room}

STRONG BAD: Hey The Cheat.

{Strong Bad kicks The Cheat into Strong Sad}

THE CHEAT: GAAAHHH!

STRONG SAD: DOUGLAS!

{Cut to Strong Bad, who starts to sit down}

STRONG BAD: Oh yes! And the foul! The Paper, show these morons what to do.

{The Paper comes down with the menu selections. About 30 seconds later, Strong Bad turns to the camera}

STRONG BAD: Uh, The Paper, I think you're going to have to spell it out better for these simpletons. Apparently, they're not quite grasping it.

{A Paper comes up from the bottom of the screen reading "Make your selection and mash GO, moron!"}

STRONG BAD: Whoa! Bottom-feeding paper! There's something you don't see every day!

Disc Two FBI Warning

{The same standard FBI text appears on the screen. Homestar walks up, and looks at the warning. Homestar then spits a couple Teddy Grahams at the warning, and they stick}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: There. That's better!

{Homestar walks away}

Disc Two Intro

{Cut to the computer desk, which has the old, taped-up Tandy 400 on it}

STRONG BAD: Hey there, old girl. Lookin' good {Strong Bad points out the window} Hey, what's what over there? {Strong Bad violently knocks the Tandy off the computer desk, and replaces it with the Compy 386} Now lay it on me, 386! {the 386 starts up} Oh, I love that little song.

{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, the Tandy 400 and Bad Graphics Ghost appear from the top of the screen}

STRONG BAD: GAH! GET OUT OF HERE, PIXEL GHOST!

{The Bad Graphics Ghost floats away}

STRONG BAD: Whew, that was a close one.

Disc Three FBI Warning

{The same standard FBI text appears on the screen. Homestar walks on by the text}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just passing through!

Disc Three Intro

{Open to a shot of the Compy 386 at an angle. The text on the screen reads "baleeted." A 2-liter of Mountain Dew is nearby, and slowly leaking all over the computer desk and two floppies reading "where's an egg" and "peasant's quest." Slowly pans to Homestar at the computer.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {chucks a few floppies off to one side} What is that stupid word? {starts hitting head against keyboard to punctuate his words, causing some of its keys to fly out} WHAT! IS! THAT! STUPID! WORD! WHY! WON'T YOU! TELL ME! MR! COMPUTER! MAN!

{As he pounds his head on the keyboard, the text "whateeted," "is leted," "thateeted," "OUCH!," "my teeth!," and "my butt!!" appears on the screen. The Compy 386 then displays its Flagrant Error screen. The camera has now panned to the door. Strong Bad walks in and views this spectacle}

STRONG BAD: What in frig's crap?!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh-oh

STRONG BAD: How do you keep getting in here?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I dunno... picked the lock?

STRONG BAD: Ohhh, touch�

{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad peeks under The Paper}

STRONG BAD: Hey, what the crap are they doing out there?

{Homestar peeks under the paper as well}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't see anybody. Maybe they're fixing a sandwich.

{Homestar sticks his head back under The Paper}

STRONG BAD: Oh. {shouting} Hey, bring us some Cold Ones when you get back in here!

{Strong Bad sticks his head back under The Paper}

Bonus Menu

{Cut to the living room, where The Cheat is hanging out in the crisper drawer and Strong Mad is watching TV. The Cheat makes some The Cheat noises}

STRONG MAD: Did you just say bonus stuff?

{Cut to the Trodgor arcade cabinet screen, which has the menu selections. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad cuts in.}

STRONG BAD: Alright, choosy! Time's up! I'm playing Trogdor! {starts up a Trogdor game} Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishin'! {Trogdor gets killed} Oh man. {The game over screen shows} What?! What's wrong with this stupid game?

{Strong Bad hits the cabinet, returning the screen to its original state}
