== Transcript ==

''{As usual, Strong Bad is in front of his Lappy, checking his e-mail. Judging from the view of the room we can see around the Lappy, he does not seem to be at his desk, as he usually would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': A lot of ladies and a lot of girls... some healthy ladies and some healthy girls! 
<pre>subject: besides..
Dear Strongbad,
Do you do anything besides checking e-mails?
 
Sincerely, Hunter</pre>
 
'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Waudju- gighi- ikuh... What do you mean do I do anything besides checking e-mails? 'Course I freakin' do! I do everything! Always! ''{clears the screen}'' Nature walks, Meet N' Greets, Bus Chucker Club, The League of Me and The Cheat Ice Cream Socials. Shut up! I even have a part-part-part-part-very part-time job, to which I am currently 15 minutes late.

''{Cut to the lower area of Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}''

''{Strong Bad looks around in a panicked way.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': This is perfect! Just perfect! I couldn't be happier with my new invention! I'll call it... the Super Question Machine!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{whispering}'' I gotta try to sneak out of here without Homestar noticing me.

''{Homestar sets his "invention" down on the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta think of some kind of diversion...

''{The Cheat walks in, humming to himself, wearing a top hat entitled "Tito" and a bowtie, and holding a cane. Homestar turns around to look at him. The camera pans left. The Cheat begins doing a dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, wow! What a great new invention!

''{Strong Bad crawls out from under the table, and gives The Cheat the thumbs up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Cheat!

''{He proceeds to crawl away, while The Cheat's still humming.}''

''{Cut to Bubs' empty concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly while peeking out from the corner}'' This is perfect! Bubs must be passed out on the floor again.

''{Strong Bad disappears behind the screen, and begins walking toward the Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Comin' in to work on time..

''{Bubs pops up from under the counter. Strong Bad lets out a short yell.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aha! 

'''STRONG BAD:''' {''Yells, then stutters a little.''}

'''BUBS:''' Late again, Strong Bad. I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Quickly}'' But Mr. Bubs, I was just-

'''BUBS:''' ''{Interrupts}'' Wastin' time on that email show of yours again. That mess'll never get you anywhere!

'''STRONG BAD:'''  Yes it will! You'll see! I'm gonna be big one day. I'm gonna be a famous email checker.

'''BUBS:''' And I'm gonna be two times two. Now put on your uniform and get to work!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna be ''what''?

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad wearing a combination of a sad clown and a hotdog costume in front of Bubs' stand.  Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

''The papers all say:''

<pre>GET YOU A FREE CUP OF ICE WITH PURCHASE OF DELUXE CUP OF ICE OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE
BUBS' CONSESSION STAND</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:'''  That's right! Come on down to Bubs' and get you a free cup of ice with purchase of deluxe cup of ice for equal or lesser value.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Work it, son, work it!

''{Strong Bad begins dancing and humming.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's it, that's it! Look out for Number 1!

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the hot dog clown! What fun!

''{Pom Pom's silhouette merges in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, take a picture of me with the hot dog clown. It'll be classic!

''{Pom Pom bubbles, and takes out a camera. A huge flash is seen, and a camera shutter sound is heard. Coach Z falls over, leaning on Strong Bad.}

''{The camera zooms in to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:'''  Pictures with the tragic clown dog ain't free! Fifty bucks! Sixty bucks! Get back here and let me confiscate your film.
'' {The camera zooms back out to the four of them.}''

'''COACH Z:'''  ''{running}'' Charge, Pom Pom! ''{He and Pom Pom run off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''  It's a great day at Bubs' Concession Stand! Sign up now for giving us money. 

'''BUBS:'''  Now isn't this better than sitting at your desk answerin' emails?

'''STRONG BAD:'''  Actually I was sitting under a kitchen table this week and.. uh oh! The Lappy's probably almost out of juice! I need to get back and end this email! Uhh..  say Bubs, I'm gonna need now off. Is that cool?

'''BUBS:'''  Is Strong Sad cool?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh come on.

'''BUBS:''' You know all my policies! I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:'''  Okay then I quit.

'''BUBS:'''  Fine! But don't even think about swiping that costume!

'''STRONG BAD:'''  You made me buy this costume, remember?

'''BUBS:'''  Oh. Right. Well then pleasure doing business with you.

''{Strong Bad runs off in the costume.}

''{We cut back to the kitchen, where The Cheat has fallen over, still humming, and Homestar is standing over him. Strong Bad crawls back in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the most amazing undersea epic ever filmed.

'''STRONG BAD:'''  ''{typing}'' See, Hunter? I got all types of stuff going on. I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are. I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce-

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''  Oh great. The battery ran out. I gotta figure out a way to end this email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

''{Cut to [[Mrs. Bennedetto]]. Strong Bad slaps a paper on it with some text and a picture of him on it.}''

<pre>yeah buddy,

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
''{Cut to Bubs on the Stage from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. We see a pamphlet:}''
<pre>       T H E A T E R
        Dreamaway 
          Johnny

      A Sweet 3-Acter
   Directed by Strong Bad
        Starring:
Strong Bad and Buh-Hubs, man</pre>

''{The pamphlet zooms out. We see Bubs is standing in front of a cut-out of his stand reading MR LEGARM'S Bubs Stand. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''BUBS AS MR. LEGARM:''' Well look who decided to show up. Fifth time this week, Johnny.

'''STRONG BAD AS JOHNNY:''' Oh I'm sorry Mr. Legarm. Honest I am! I just-

'''MR. LEGARM:''' ''{interrupting}'' You just what? Lost track of time?

'''JOHNNY:''' Yes sir. Only I wouldn't have to worry about that if I could just get the Johnny-Tron working.

'''MR. LEGARM:''' You still wastin' time workin' on that time machine, Johnny? That's a pipe dream, son! Your future's here at the shop. Now sweep up! I got customers to tend to.

'''JOHNNY:''' You'll see. Someday... someday...

''{Music starts, and a spotlight goes over to Strong Bad.}''

'''JOHNNY:''' ''{singing}'' When all my dreams come.. truuuuuuuuue.

''{Upon singing the word "true", Strong Bad is somehow able to sing an entire harmony.  The audience claps; the curtain closes.}''

== Fun Facts ==
* There are two theories on the names of buttons on Homestar's microwave oven.  One is that broasting is a style of cooking popular in the American Midwest. A [http://www.broaster.com Broaster] is basically a pressure deepfryer for cooking battered chicken.  The other is that 'Broast' and 'Boil' are a play on the 'Roast' and 'Broil' buttons that exist in some ovens.
*The "Hundredaire Socialite magazine" easter egg features the familiar faces of [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]]; the photo is from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
*The clock on Mrs. Bennedetto is stuck on 9:48.
*The Cheat wearing the top hat may be a reference to [[theme park]].
*Buh-Hubs is a reference to [[big white face]].
===Other things of interest ===
*Bubs has apparently discontinued his "free weekly spamvertisements" from [[unused emails]], from which Strong Bad was making $1250 (5000 emails x a quarter each) every time he sold a disk of addresses.
*Notice Bubs' promotion is the opposite of what would be sensible:  You get can get two cups of ice while paying only for the one that costs less or the same. This is the same kind of logic which allows [[The King of Town]] to have  "earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value".
*You can still make the circles appear on the LCD screen when the power shuts off.
*You can keep clicking on "preeow" to make the Paper come down again and again.
*"What do you mean do I do anything besides checking e-mails" is a question and Strong Bad didn't use a question mark. (Which frankly is pretty disappointing, considering the vocal work done on the grammar songs in [[local news]].)
*"Hundredaire" was also used in the email "[[suntan]]"
* "preeeeow" is what Strong Bad says in [[autobiography]] and [[haircut]], when attempting to prompt the printer to print out [[The Paper]].
*The confused sounds Strong Bad makes at the beginning of the cartoon are almost identical to the ones he utters near the end of [[Everybody to the Limit]]
*This email is the first to show the back of the Lappy. It is the 3rd time Strong Bad has  checked his email in an unusual place; he has also checked his e-mail on Pom-Pom's Pom Pilot in [[the bird]] and later on The Cheat's iMac in [[weird dream]].
*The way Bubs' name is spelled in the program (Buh-hubs) is a reference to [[lunch special]], when Strong Bad had Bubs say his name slowly into a mirror.
**It could also be a reference to [[big white face]], because that's what Strong Bad typed into the Compy 386 when bringing up Bubs' picture.
*The "Johnny-Tron" time machine mentioned in the Easter Egg might be a reference to the "Chron-o-John" used in the LucasArts computer game "Day of the Tentacle".  (The "Chron-o-John" was a time machine that looked suspiciously like an outhouse.)
*When Strong Bad says "I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are," he is referring to his description of Senor Cardgage in the email [[kind of cool]].

== Glitches ==
* After watching the "Power easter egg," the paper comes down even though you haven't clicked on preeeow.
*When you view the "Broast easter egg," you can still press the preeeow button
