subject: a little concernedHey Strongbad-
I'm a little worried that you might be losing your edge. I
heven't seen any shennanigans from you or The Cheat in
a while.
Yours, etc
Gee Tee, Los Burbankos, CA
{Strong Bad pronounces the hyphen as "minus", "heven't" as spelled, and "shenanigans" as "she-ne-ne-nanigans" He expands "yours etc" as "yours, his, hers, mine, ours". He also pronounces the name and place of the sender in a very rushed voice.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Losing our edge?! That's ridiculous. Our shenanigans make the cover of Have Edge Times Magazine like every month! Like the other day. Me and The Cheat—
{scene cuts to The Field. We see Strong Bad and The Cheat approaching a deflated basketball lying on the ground}
STRONG BAD: {as voiceover} —walked past this deflated basketball and consciously decided not to reinflate it!
STRONG BAD: So what do you think, man?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: OK, now we're talkin' . Let's get out of here before the cops come! {Dances nervously}
{Strong Bad and The Cheat run off to the right. Scene cuts back to Strong Bad in front of computer.}
STRONG BAD: And then {Strong Bad pronounces "then" as "uh"} yesterday, we—
{scene cuts to Strong Sad's bedroom, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing on the bed and throwing feathers from a torn pillow at Strong Sad, whose right side is only just visible at the right of the screen. The Cheat makes little excited noises, and Strong Sad produces quiet, bored-sounding "ow"s.}
STRONG BAD: {as voiceover} —feathered the living crap out of Strong Sad!
STRONG BAD: You said it The Cheat! Tar is prohibitively expensive!
{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad in front of computer}
STRONG BAD:{typing} But edgiest of all, THIS MORNING, we spread mayonnaise—
{scene cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat in the Basement, spreading Fluffy Puff Mayonnaise onto the tops of cardboard boxes}
STRONG BAD: {as voiceover} —on all these cardboard boxes, man. And then waited like, thirty minutes to clean it all up, vacuum, and use air-freshener to get rid of any undesirable odors left by the mayonaise! Thirty whole minutes! Can you be—yeah, okay, we're losing our edge.
STRONG BAD: The Cheat, get in here!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises, with a melodic tone}
STRONG BAD: Take that thing off!
THE CHEAT: {disappointed The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: No, it is not "pretend-we're-Grandmas-baking" time! And it'll never be again! {sotto voce} See me after this email. {at full volume} No, it's time to do some real damage, The Cheat! It's time to get our shenan on! Again!
THE CHEAT: {enthusiastic The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: Oh yeah, look at this arsenal of edge-haver-y right here, man. We can't go wrong!
THE CHEAT: {questioning The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: You know, shenanigans! Like, uh, you start sawin' a hole in the floor, and I'll stomp on this casserole.
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: Ah ha ha! Sorry, casserole, your crusty layer of fried onions is no match for my—ah!
STRONG BAD: {moan, followed by "yugga-da-yugga" noise of lips flapping while head is shaken vigorously} Whoa, where are we? I suddenly feel so ... easy to animate.
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: I don't know {pronounced "I-uh know"} man, but we gotta stay edgy. We can't let this deep, dark hole get us down in a deep, dark hole. Lemme kick you. That's a classic shenani-move. {a grunt}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: {a yell, and then a more different grunt} Geez, Lucy, hold still!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: Ow, my eye!
THE CHEAT: {scream-like The Cheat noise}
STRONG BAD: Naw, just kiddin'. It's a ping-pong ball. I always keep a spare pack in my pants. Some would say "pocket"; I say: "in my pants".
