STRONG BAD: {sotto voce} Shhh! Shut up, you guys! I'm checkin' email from work today, and I can't let The Man know what I'm doing!
{Cut to Strong Bad typing on a computer with a grey monitor that reads "Corpy NT6"}
STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, tiptoe your fingers 'cross the keyboard for the quietest email you can check.
{Buzz noise. An error message with a picture of a hand blocking a basketball appears with the text "BLOCKED! Back to work, drone!"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, man. They got everything blocked now. Even those awesome pop-up insurance with the cool mini-games in 'em. I tasered that gnome like ten times! {stops typing} Good thing The Cheat hooked me up with this Cheatware!
{Strong Bad holds up a yellow 3.5" diskette with black spots; the label reads "Cheatware ver. 2.1" and has an ASCII drawing of The Cheat. He puts it in the computer. The text "Grandma Edgar's Corporate Firewall Get-Arounder" appears on the screen with a picture of an old woman and a brick wall. The screen changes to an animation of the old woman pole vaulting over the wall into an envelope.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, nice work, pixo-Granny! Undermine those corporate oppressors on witcha bad self! {brings up email}
