== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting: ===
'''MARZIPAN''': Hi guys! Leave me a message, and I'll leave you with an abstract thought. Is a penguin a bird or a duck?

=== Message 6: ===
'''STRONG SAD''': Hey Marzipan, it's Strong Sad, um... I just rented the VI Warshawski DVD. Thought maybe you'd wanna come over and check it out with me, uh... says here it's got deleted scenes... director commentary... interactive menus... ''{Marzipan walks past and leaves her keys by the machine}'' scene selection... widescreen mode... uh, running time... that sounds pretty de-luxe. I know it's one of your favorites so when you get this, gimme a call and, uh, we'll do it up right!

=== Message 5: ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{lowered voice}'' (Okay, so what am I doing here?)

'''STRONG BAD''': (Step one is to greet the recipient of the prank call.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': (Okay, okay, I got it.) Ahem. Hey Pom Pom!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{buzzer noise}'' Wrong! Hang up and start over.

=== Message 4: ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello Marzipan! (Okay, what I'm supposed to do now?)

'''STRONG BAD''': (Step two is where you reveal your fake identity to the prankee.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': (Oh, I'm Batman.)

'''STRONG BAD''': (What, n-! Just make up a name!)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': (Okay, okay!) Hey Marzipan, this is Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{buzzer noise}''

=== Message 3: ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello, Marzipan, this is Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{buzzer noise}''

=== Message 2: ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello, Marzipan, this is... Sugar-face... (okay, now what?)

'''STRONG BAD''': (Well, step three is to continue the prank in a direction determined by your identity, but, uh, you're on your own with Sugar-face.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': (Okay.) I am a pretend guy that... comes around... and... ''{singing}'' gets run over by a lawnmower blade!

'''STRONG BAD''':nioghnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I chose to end in song!

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh boy... remember how I said this is a six-week course?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I'm excited!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, it turns out it's cancelled.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Aw man!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, it's a shame.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh well. It's still the second-best five hundred bucks I ever spent!

=== Message 1: ===
'''STRONG SAD''': ''{sounding more depressed than usual}'' Hey Marzipan, it's Strong Sad again, um... I haven't been honest with you... I don't really have the VI Warshawski DVD. ''{Marzipan walks up to the machine.}'' I just went to the video store and copied down the features from the back of the DVD box. ''{Marzipan grabs her keys and heads out}'' I just wanted an excuse to call you, and... oh geez. Strong Bad's right. I'm a waste of space.

'''STRONG BAD''': I said you were a waste of FAT space!

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the final message, press the number display to get a familiar message.
**'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': YOUR PHONE A SPLODE
*After the final message, press the tape deck for a message from Marzipan's credit card company.
**'''RON DARDMAN''': Hello there, Marzipan. My name is Ron D...Dardman, from your credit card company. We're just calling to confirm a $500 charge for one of them race car beds. What made us suspicious is when it was signed for,  in lieu of an actual signature, someone drew some kind of little underbite man with a beanie cap on. So if you could just give us a call back and confirm this is a valid charge, we'll be all... fine.

== Fun Facts ==
*"YOUR PHONE A SPLODE" is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]] from the [[video games]] email, in which a 3-D vector version of Strong Bad's head proclaims, "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE."
**It also harkens back to [[personal favorites]] when Strong Bad left Marzipan a prank call and her answering machine exploded.
*The [[imdb:tt0103184|''V.I. Warshawski'']] Strong Sad refers to is a 1991 film based on the series of detective novels by [[Wikipedia:Sara Paretsky|Sara Paretsky]] about private investigator V.I. Warshawski.
*When [[Ron Dardman]] calls about the charge on Marzipan's Credit Card, he says, "...in lieu of an actual signature, someone drew some kind of a little underbite man with a beanie cap on...."  He's describing Homestar, who allegedly bought the Race Car bed!
**This also refers back to Homestar's saying that the prank phone-call course was the second best 500 dollars he ever spent.
**Homestar does know how to sign his own name.  He did it on the old [[Yearbook Character Page]].
*Homestar again mentions [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|best/worst bucks ever spent]].
*If Strong Bad is talking on both Homestar's Messages and Strong Sad's message, then that means that Strong Sad and Homestar are within the same location.
