Transcript

{Homestar Runner walks in to Strong Bad's computer room, holding a damaged tape. Compy 386 is off and there is a note attached to the screen.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad? Strong Bad, I brought back your tape of old Mister Wizards! Okay, I'll just leave it on the floor.

{He drops the tape, a smashing sound is heard. He sees the note.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {dramatically} A note! {turns to the camera} A note! {reading} 'Probably at a barbecue...with lotsa ladies! SB.' {mischeviously} Oh, really?

{Homestar runs out of the shot to the left, then enters again with a quart-size dairy carton.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad! I'm borrowing this milk for an undisclosed period of time!

{runs across again, now with a squeegee}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad! I'm borrowing this squeegee-type-deal!

{runs across again with an electric guitar}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Taking the guitar!

{struggling with a TV set}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: The TV! {he drops it} Phew!

{Homestar enters again, carrying an Atari 2600, but this time he meets The Cheat coming the other way, carrying Strong Bad's keyboard; the monitor has already gone.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Strong Bad-

THE CHEAT: {exclamation}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh! The Cheat!

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I was just, um, doing nothing, with... nothing that belongs to Strong Bad.

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, you too, huh?

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Cool, um, I'm going to... run away, now... pretty quickly.

{Homestar Runner and The Cheat run off, each in the direction he came from, as The Cheat exclaims. The screen goes black momentarily, but then the shot returns for a moment as The Cheat leans in from the right and swipes Strong Bad's Floppy Disk Container.}

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat exclamation}

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman)

MATT: Here's a puppet time that I made when Mike was out of town! So, it was easier to do a little live action than to try and animate.

MIKE: This was, I guess— was this the second thing after the Everybody Knows It video?

MATT: I think it was! Umm, before the Strong Bad puppet was— existed, so we just had to use Homestar and The Cheat again. Uh, I remember, our buddy Nat helped out with this, and our friend Sarah was in town, and I think she helped out, too... {pause} There's some half-and-half that Ryan probably bought at the Save Right.

MIKE: {laughs} There's our real disk caddy from growing up—

MATT: Yes.

MIKE: —full of real games that we used to play.

MATT: Just copied versions of King's Quest II, Police Quest III, save disks etc.— err, Police Quest II, probably. Ooh, there's some— I never noticed those reflections in the TV!

MIKE: {simultaneously} Reflections? Yeah. {alone} Probably can't see them —

MATT: {simultaneously} You can't see!

MIKE: —when it was so small on the web.

MATT: {laughs} Yeah. Homestar's got that Atari... {pause} Umm... {pause} You don't usually see this side of Homestar, just ripping off stuff from people.

MIKE: {laughs}

MATT: He totally cleans out Strong Bad's place! And The Cheat, too! {imitating the music} Wayaw, wayaw! {in normal voice} I remember that took a lot.
