"That A Ghost"
Presented in Grand Old Sound-O-Vision
copyright 1937
{Opens to 1936 Marzipan with a plate of bones on the table}
1936 MARZIPAN: We haven't eaten in weeks!
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Guess what I read in the news-papper today.
1936 MARZIPAN: I can't guess.
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost.
1936 MARZIPAN: You read that a ghost what?
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost is.
1936 MARZIPAN: You read that a ghost is what?
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost is here in town and there's a 27 cent reward for its capture.
'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: You said it Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn-pone with 27 big ones.
{The conversation is being watched in a telescope; pan to the right of the long telescope, where actually no-one is watching, but The Strong Bad stands nearby reading a paper}
THE STRONG BAD: Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies!
{Cut to The Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak}
THE STRONG BAD: We could buy the monocle off Rockefeller's very eyeball with that kind of cash!
STRONG MAN: Raaar!
{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a spooky house with a gate signed 'Pietimer'}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Let's check out the old Pietimer place.
1936 MARZIPAN: We should split up.
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: We can do more damage that way.
{They walk in. 1936 Marzipan looks under a cup.}
1936 MARZIPAN: Under here?
{The Homestar Runner looks at a bookshelf full of ghost books.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.
{He removes a book labelled 'A Goodtime Story', the only book not related to ghosts or monsters. Opening it, a moth flies out.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just a moth. {He tries to eat the moth, but it flies off.} Dernit!
{1936 Marzipan looks under a plate.}
1936 MARZIPAN: Under here? {Spiders run out.}
{The Homestar Runner walks past two portraits. The one marked 'Mr. Pietimer' follows him with its eyes.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: That picturemadrawin' looks sur-spicious. {He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".} It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Ah, phooey.
{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, with a cigar and a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Fat Dudley? Were you gonna sneak a nip of hooch?
'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}
{Outside the house again, with the gate behind them.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of gross aminals. Let's go look somewheres else.
{Cut to 'Cholera Acres Cemetary', then to The Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of Eustice Pietimer's grave (skinflint and junk codger).}
THE STRONG BAD: Listen smoothly, The Sneak! We're sure to catch a ghost once we exhume this grave using my new grave-exhuming invention!
{Cut to Strong Man holding a shovel.}
STRONG MAN: Raaar!
THE STRONG BAD: What what? Why, no! Of course that's not just the Strong Man holding a shovel! It's my newest invention! Besides, the Strong Man's over there doing some kind of stylish jig!
{Cut to Strong Man, who is now doing a stylish jig on an unmarked grave (son of mark grave). The Guy at the Depot's head comes up out of the grave.}
THE GUY AT THE DEPOT: {wheezily} Would you please keep it down?
{Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the 'Punkin Patch'.}
1936 MARZIPAN: The Homestar Runner, I'm s-s-s-s-scared!
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.
1936 MARZIPAN: But I'm s-s-s-s-S-scared!
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, fine. We'll go look in the graveyard.
1936 MARZIPAN: {smiling} Hooray!
{Cut back to Cholera Acres Cemetary, where they enter, then meet The Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak, who have dug up the grave of Eustice Pietimer.}
THE STRONG BAD: You're too late! The reward will be ours! I'll be marching around in gold pants in no time!
1936 MARZIPAN: Where's the ghost?
THE STRONG BAD: Behold! The fantoustic phantasm!
{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave, and floats above it.}}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.
SICKLY SAM: I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.
THE STRONG BAD: Criminy crickets! Foiled again!
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Then where's the real ghost?
{A black cloaked ghost with spindly arms fades in, floating above the tombstones.}
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {eyes bulging} Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. {his skin falls off, leaving his skeleton}
THE STRONG BAD: Wa-a-a-a-a-a! {his skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton too}
{Cut back to the ghost, which fades away, then to The Homestar Runner and 1936 Marzipan, who is also a skeleton.}
1936 MARZIPAN: At least we'll never go hungry again.
THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: 'Cept for Fat Dudley. {Cut to Fat Dudley, who is 'eating' a shoe with a soup spoon, with a jug labelled 'XXX' nearby.} He's livin' the high life!
'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}
{Transition accompanied with closing music, to:}
