"Get out of here, pixel ghost!"

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

STRONG BAD: Hey there, old girl. Lookin' good. {points out the window} Hey, what's what over there? {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 and plays the tune.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, I love that little song.

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

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

{The Bad Graphics Ghost floats away.}

STRONG BAD: Whew, that was a close one.

Bonus Stuff Transcript

Did you just say bonus stuff?

{Again in 3D, the camera flies through the basement of the Brothers Strong past Strong Mad on the couch and The Cheat in the crisper drawer, both watching TV, on its way to the TROGDOR! arcade machine, on which the bonus menu is displayed.}

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

STRONG MAD: Did you just say bonus stuff?

{After a 30-second pause, the camera pulls back to reveal that Strong Bad has walked up to the machine.}

STRONG BAD: All right, choosey, time's up.

{The machine displays the TROGDOR! title screen with the accompanying music.}

STRONG BAD: I'm playing Trogdor. {plays the game} Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishing. {Trogdor gets sworded} Aw, man!

{The "IT'S OVER" screen is displayed with the accompanying music.}

STRONG BAD: What? What's wrong with this stupid game?

{Strong Bad pounds the machine as the camera swings back to the menu.}

Easter Eggs

• A video of Gary Palaroncini from Limozeen playing The Cheatar (from an Easter egg found in that short): Accessed by pressing right from the "Nite Mamas" karaoke video on the Trogdor bonus screen.
• One of the contents of the DVD is a folder named "SBSite" that includes both Strong Bad's Website and Strong Sad's Lament in full. The images, links, SWF files and sounds are there, so the HTML files look exactly like their respective pages.
