| - | ''{Drags out "very exotic and hot" sultrily and pronounces "Mesa" as "Mee-sa".}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Oh yeah? Well, mesa ''{pronounces it "mee-sa"}'' thinks you need to stop-a talking like that right now-a.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Clears screen}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' What do you mean what happened to my accent? I've still got it and it's still awesome. I mean, isn't it? Let's do some research. Here's my accent a few years ago.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to a scene from [[some kinda robot]]}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing on the [[Tandy 400]] and speaking in his accent of the time}'' Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' And here's my accent a few seconds ago.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to a few seconds ago. The camera angle has changed so that the scene now appears crooked.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Here's my accent a few years ago.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut back to the current scene of Strong Bad at the Lappy}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Oh. Um, maybe it has changed a little bit. But that's only cause I've gotten more worldly and streetwise, right? It's still what makes me so devilishly charming.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to a wide shot of Strong Bad at the Lappy, now showing Strong Sad with reading glasses and a clipboard standing on Strong Bad's right. An old-fashioned film projector is sitting on the table between the two characters.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know, Strong Bad. ''{pats his belly; the familiar dodgeball sound is heard}'' According to my projections, at the rate your accent is changing now, in five years, you'll sound like this.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Strong Sad turns the [[Projections|projector]] on. The light shines toward the camera, revealing an image of Strong Bad sitting in front of a light blue, translucent screen with circuitry imprints. The screen is hovering over his desk.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing and speaking in a duller and less gravelly version of his normal voice}'' Oh, hey all of you guys. I'm a Strong Bad. Holy crap, I am so great.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Fade back to Strong Bad and Strong Sad with the projector and the Lappy.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' Waaah! ''{Jumps in his chair and grabs his chest while breathing hard.}'' All my gruff charms and gravelly demeanors! Gone! ''{Turns to Strong Sad}'' I gotta save my weird accent! ''{in a calmer voice}'' Wait, I'm gonna have a floating computer in five years?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG SAD:''' Don't worry. I've called in a specialist.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Coach Z appears from the lower right corner of the screen.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''COACH Z:''' Hey there, Spring Board. I'm here to help yous with your orccent!
| + | |

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to a rear shot of Strong Bad sitting in The Classroom. Coach Z is up front standing next to the blackboard, which reads "INtRO tO WEIRD tALKiN'".}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''COACH Z:''' First, we've gotta figure out what makes your accent unique. And then exorggerate the behoozits out of it!

| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ow!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to a wide shot, which reveals Strong Bad hanging upside down from a tree. Strong Mad is on the left, standing ready to punch him again. Coach Z is on the right.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''COACH Z:''' You'd better try it again, or I'ma have him start working the kidneys.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{desperately, in his old Mexican accent}'' Competition! Competition!
| + | |

| - | ''{Cut to The Garage, where we see a crumpled up piece of sandpaper tossed onto a growing pile of crumpled sandpaper. Cut to a wide shot that shows Strong Bad and Coach Z standing in the middle of the room. Strong bad is rubbing a piece of sandpaper on his neck.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pained}'' Coach Z, are you sure rubbing sandpaper on my throat is really necessary?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''COACH Z:''' Oh, abso-prootley. 'Course, you won't be able to eat salid foods for a few months, but at least no one will bug yous about your accernt<!--sic-->.
