[edit] Transcript
STRONG BAD: Strong Bad Email is filmed before a live studio audience.
Is that blue diamond kinda thing on your
forehead the source of all your super
powers? Or is it merely decorative?
Aaron C.
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, sorta, Aaron. But see, there's only one power. Though I guess it is pretty super. Check it out.
{He turns to his left and picks up a Cold One. He tenses up in concentration, and his blue diamond starts glowing, making a beamy sound, first faintly, then finally reaching a powerful peak, causing the bottle cap to pop off. A little foam comes out of the bottle.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} So, there you go. It's not much, but as you can imagine it's a big hit with the ladies. {spoken} And {typed} So far I've only found it works with cold ones. {thoughtfully} But come to think of it...
{Strong Bad gets up. Cut to the locker room. Coach Z and Homestar are talking to each other.}
COACH Z: Oh, I'd definitely say it's just a result of tight pants.
{Strong Bad peeks out from behind a locker.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oooohh, tight paaants!
{Strong Bad uses the blue diamond on his forehead, forcing Homestar's cap to pop off.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh!
{Strong Bad snickers. Homestar picks up his cap and looks back at Coach Z.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Sorry about that. What were we talking about?
COACH Z: The tightest of pants.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, right, right. Tight pants.
{Strong Bad uses his blue diamond to force Homestar's cap to pop off again.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What the—?
{Strong Bad snickers again as Homestar picks up his cap again.}
COACH Z: Are you okay there, Homestar?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't know. Is my head getting bigger?
{The Paper comes down. Strong Bad uses his blue diamond to force Homestar's cap to pop off for the third time, making Homestar pick up his cap once more.}
COACH Z: Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants.
