STRONG BAD: {singing} So innocent and email free.... That's you 'n me. {pulls up the e-mail and reads it aloud}
Hey, yo there Strong Bad! I was wondering why The Cheat is such a diligent lackey. Did you save his life one time and now he has to repay you? Steve Victoria, BC
STRONG BAD: {typing} BC? Whoa! This is an old freakin' email. Most of the emails I get are ADs. And the occasional JD. Wow. I wonder if it was written on like, a stone tablet. Or maybe some, uh, papyrus. Anyhow... {clears screen, continues typing} No, Steve, The Cheat is a good lackey because he "knows what's best" and "doesn't want to get left by the side of the road during a thunderstorm" or "taped to Pom Pom again." {clears screen, continues typing} It probably also has to do with the fact that I "treat him like a brother that's not Strong Sad" instead of "a little yellow squeaky thing that somethetimes steals my ladytypes." I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering The Cheat "thinks pencil shavings are legal tender." Check it out...
{Strong Bad sharpens a pencil with a small handheld sharpener}
STRONG BAD: Hey, The Cheat!
THE CHEAT: {walks in} Meh!
STRONG BAD: {waves his hand over the fresh pencil shavings} I'll pay you all these precious pencil shavings if you go pilfer me a cantaloupe from Marzipan's melon patch.
THE CHEAT: Mehneh! {runs out}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Ahhhh, look at him go. So excited, so naive...
THE CHEAT: {runs back in with cantaloupe} Meh!
STRONG BAD: Whoa, supa soivice! Thanks man. You can go back to whatever you were doin'.
THE CHEAT: {angry} Mehhhh!
STRONG BAD: Oh, right. Your "payment." Here ya go! {scrapes pencil shavings onto The Cheat's head}
THE CHEAT: (makes noises that sound like, Thank you, Thank you)
STRONG BAD: Awwww, that's almost adorable... Now, what am I gonna to do with all my tons of new stuff? A sharp pencil, and a can-ta-loo-pay. The possibilities are endless! I suppose I could use the pencil to draw a little guy on the cantaloupe. {mumbling while drawing} Ooh, and then if I jammed the cantaloupe on the end of the pencil... Hey everybody look! It's Deauregard! How ya doin', Do?
DEAUREGARD: Hey there mister Strong Bad! Well I'm fine, past couple days though...
{Cut to Bubs concession stand with The Cheat}
BUBS: Your total comes out to fifteen tooty-two!
THE CHEAT: Meh! {passing pencil shavings}
BUBS: What's this malarkey?
THE CHEAT: Mehneh! {Points to a sign saying: "We'll Gladly Accept: Cash, Money, or Cash Money". "Pencil shavings" has been added at the bottom}
BUBS: Well, if it's on the sign... nice doin business witchya!
{The Cheat walks off with his new "Boy's Hobby Kit." Deauregard shows up}
DEAUREGARD: Hey there Mr. Bubs. I'm from the collection agency. You missed your last payment. Gonna have to bust your kneecaps if ya don't pay up!
BUBS: Oh dag! You found me! {slams down a metal shop gate, revealing "SB" graffiti}
{The Paper comes down.}
STRONG BAD: Whoa! Forgot about that one! I mean...
DEAUREGAURD: Sure is some niiice graffiti!
Easter Eggs
- Click on Deauregaurd's head at the end to see a video of the Homestar and Deauregaurd show!
ANNOUNCER: The Homestar Runner and Deauregaurd Show! Brought to you by Hollerin' Jimmy Hobby Kits!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, Deauregard! We've got our own show!
DEAUREGARD: Boy, I'll say! I'm gonna be a star!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Nope. I'm afraid there's only one job for you on this show!
DEAUREGARD: Well, lay it on me!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You have to be...the produce-r!
{Homestar and the audience laugh}
DEAUREGARD: Forget you, Whitey! I'm going solo!
{Deauregard walks off. Soon Homestar stops laughing.}

- Click on the top of the "boy's hobby kit" box to see what it says.
Fun Facts
- When The Cheat is buying the hobby kit, Bubs says, "and that comes out to fifteen-tooty-two" which is a reference to one of the Homestar Quiz answers for the question, "In the luau episode, how many glasses of melonade did Homestar say he drank?" "Tooty-two" was also part of the phone number in Strong Bad Sings. This appears to be one of the Inside Jokes.
- When Strong Bad says The Cheat doesn't want to be taped to Pom-Pom again he is referring to the e-mail your friends.
- When Deauregard is in front of Compy 386, you can't see the contrast buttons.
- Strong Bad did not give The Cheat all the pencil shavings.
- Strong Bad's remark about "super service" (in a Brooklyn accent) is a Three Stooges reference.
- Deauregaurd is an actual cantaloupe in the easter egg, but The Brothers Chaps later created an actual Deauregard puppet with a moving mouth that has not been used on the site but can be seen in their Comcast interview.
- When this email was first put up, you could click "Stone Tablet" and "Papyrus" to see fake emails written on said items. These have since been removed.
DVD Version
- The Boy's Hobby Kit Easter Egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
- The Homestar Runner and Deauregaurd Show Easter Egg is now fullscreen and in much higher quality video. It also adds a tiny bit of additional footage to the end (though sans any dialogue).
- The Strong Libs Easter Egg now has Strong Sad moderating a Strong Lib and Strong Bad reluctantly playing.

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Awww, don't make me do this thing! They're only funny when you're, like, 4 years old.
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} No, we're gonna do it, and it's gonna be great! {booklet flips to page two} OK, I need an active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Uhm... "brings the noise"
STRONG SAD: {writes "brings the noise" in} {voiceover} OK, now I need a negative active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Never takes two."
STRONG SAD: {writes in "never takes two"} {voiceover} O-kay... uh, another active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Uh, let me think about it, "gets busy."
STRONG SAD: {writes in "gets busy"} {voiceover} OK. A comparison phrase. You know, like "like an idiot."
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Like a beard."
STRONG SAD: {writes in "like a beard"} {voiceover} What? Oh, OK, I need a noun.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Throat lozenge"
STRONG SAD: {writes in "throat lozenge"} {voiceover} Alright, and finally, one more active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I can't think of anymore!
STRONG SAD: {writes in "can't think of anymore"} OK! Great! Let's see how it turned out! {turns page} "A Strong Bad Email. No, dan, the Cheat is a good lackey because he 'brings the noise' and 'never takes two' or 'gets busy.'" You see, that's... you told me to write that.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, irritated} I know! Hurry up and finish!
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} Oh! "It probably also has to do with the fact that I treat him 'like a beard' instead of a 'throat lozenge.'" You see, that's good, you see, you wouldn't... you'd rather be treated like-
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, angry} Come on!
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} "I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering that the Cheat 'can't think of anymore.' Check it out." See, that turned out pretty good! Strong Bad?
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I'm already playing Nintendo in the other room!
