Transcript
{open to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is standing next to a chair and in front of a table with a notebook on it, and wearing his Deletehead hat. An archway to a hall is to his left}
STRONG SAD: {rhythmic clapping in background} Everybody's just gonna feel sorry for ya. I mean {starts to pat belly in time with clapping} I do.
{clapping stops}
STRONG SAD: Please be seatèd, delete heads. {chair scoot noises as Strong Sad sits} Now let's get right down to it! Sbemail 200 wagers, place ya bets! Place ya bets! {Strong Sad pounds the table with his fist as he speaks}
{cut to the other side of the table. Strong Mad and The Cheat are sitting down, and the cinder block is on the table. All three are wearing Deletehead hats}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG SAD: The Cheat's got fifty bucks says the Lappy doesn't make it out of email 200 alive! Any takers? Any takers?
{cut back to opposite side}
STRONG MAD: DOUBLE DOWN!
STRONG SAD: Okay, hot money, hot money, big movers! {pounds table} Dan! We got a twenty percent chance this email's gonna be from a guy named Dan! Who wants in? {looks around quickly as he speaks} Anybody? Nobody? Hot action? Big numbers? No? Moving on! Homestar's got half a G on {looks at notebook} Strong Bad not making it out alive?
{cut to Homestar, holding a bundle of red candles with a drawing of a clock face taped to them, resembling a homemade bomb}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Homestar quickly hides his "bomb" under the table} I dunno nothing about nothing.
STRONG BAD: {standing in doorway, holding a crate labelled Last week's clams with a box labelled Cat noses on top of it} Do any of you have even one iota that lives down the street from a clue as to what you're talking about?
STRONG SAD: Uh, gambling?
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG MAD: HORSES!
STRONG BAD: Well I can tell you right now you're all way off! {walks away} Or I got fifty bucks that says you guys will continue to suck no matter what I do.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {ominous music, Homestar pulls his homemade "bomb" out from under the table} We'll just see about that, old buddy, old pal. We'll just see. {zoom in on Homestar}
STRONG SAD: {music stops abruptly} Homestar, are those just candles with a drawing of a clock taped to them?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, um. Sorry guys, I gotta catch this invisible secret elevator. {Homestar slowly lowers himself below the table, stopping before his hat disappears} Boooooo.
STRONG SAD: How much you wanna bet he stays down there all week?
{The New Paper comes down, it reads Place your bets, people!}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- "G" is slang for $1,000 (a grand), making half a G $500.
- "Double Down" is a term in Blackjack meaning to double one's bet at any point after the initial cards have been dealt, and take exactly one more card.
Trivia
- Strong Sad's notebook reads:
- Meeting
- Pledge
- Wagers
- Fruit Dip
- Eyebrow Notions
Remarks
- Despite Strong Sad's claim of there being a 20% chance of the next emailer being named Dan, only 10 of the previous emails - roughly 5% - were sent by a Dan (or a derivative thereof).
Goofs
- Careful observation of the "Clams" crate Strong Bad carries into the scene reveals it has no bottom drawn onto it, although Strong Bad holds it as if did and it is drawn in a perspective that would normally allow the bottom to be clearly visible to the viewer.
