Transcript

{Homestar, Coach Z, and Pom Pom are on the athletic field. Pom Pom is seen kicking a basketball around in the background whilst Homestar kicks a can, depressed.}

CAPTION: "One day after sports, Coach Z noticed Homestar Runner looking troubled"

COACH Z: Hey, what's the problem there, Homestar?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh man, Coach Z, I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

COACH Z: Oh jeez, I figured it was girl trouble. Step into my orffice.

{Cut to the locker room.}

COACH Z: So, tell me what's the matter.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, it's Marzipan's birthday, and I don't what to get her!

{The alien in the shower's towel falls off.}

COACH Z: Well, Homestar, I tell you. Girls are like a great sports play. {We now see a blackboard with a gameplay on it.} You can't just rush in to the score zone! You kiddin' me? You'd be clobbered! You've gotta stick and move and zig and zag to get past the defenses, so youse can score! {Blackboard writing forms a skull and crossbones.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: But Coach, I don't understand! {Homestar's mouth simply stays open through the entire sentence here.}

COACH Z: Don't just get her a flower. {Scene showing Homestar giving Marzipan a regular flower; Marzipan appears angry and the flower droops.} Get her some rare flower from the tallest mountain! {Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen.} That way she knows how much she means to yahs!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thanks, Coach! {Levitates and flies away to the sound of squealing tires.}

{Homestar is sitting on a rock next to a tree. The sun and moon rise and set several times.}

CAPTION: So he thought and thought... Until finally...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello! {Scene changes to the Yello Dello on the "Discover Network"; a David Attenborough-type host describes the bird.}

HOST: Found only in northeastern Potamia, the Yello-Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon.

{Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey.}

CAPTION: And So Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad set out in search of the Yello Dello...

{A map appears and red dotted lines track their route through Far Off Lands, Prance, Portugal, and Potamia.}

CAPTION: They traveled many miles...

{The adventurers appear in a game of Pitfall. Strong Sad is standing to the left of an alligator pond, with Homestar and Pom Pom on the right. A rope swings back and forth over the pond.}

CAPTION: Encountered many dangers...

{Homestar swings over the alligators.}

CAPTION: Until at last they reached their destination...

{The Yello Dello is shown atop a mountain. The three approach the base of the mountain.}

STRONG SAD: Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ah, come on, guys, lets do it for Marzipan!

STRONG SAD: Well, I already got Marzipan a present and I don't really think that—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

{Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H²Oh!".}

CAPTION: Meanwhile...

{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing pink oven mitts.}

STRONG BAD: Hey, Marzipan, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday. You wanna know what I got you? NOTHING!

{Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's comment, but then thinks of the Yello Dello and starts bouncing happily.}

{Cut back to the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack wiggles next to them.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ok, we got it. Now let's go home and get ready for the party.

{Marzipan's house is decorated with balloons (on the mailbox) and a big banner reading "happy birthday marzipan" Marzipan hops around a bit by her mailbox then walks over to her house. She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad and Homestar. Homestar holds up a roast chicken on a platter.}

ALL: Happy Birthday!

{Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello. She screams and slaps Homestar, leaving a visible handprint and sending the chicken flying across the room. She walks away in a huff. The Yello Dello then pops out of a giftbox, unharmed.}

YELLO DELLO: Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

{Cut to outside the house. The Pitfall scorpion crawls across the screen behind the mailbox.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

CAPTION: end. {The Pitfall death music is played, and as the scorpion reaches the right side of the screen, the screen wipes to black, surrounding the scorpion.}
