Transcript

{Pom Pom and Strong Bad are standing next to The Stick.}

STRONG BAD: So I was like, {begins to "shake it" mockingly} "Well, you think you're so hot, but me hot, me hot!"

POM POM: {laughs}

STRONG BAD: Yeah, that's a pretty good one, huh? Oh crap, I should probably check my email. Hey, let me see your Pom Pilot!

{Pom Pom tosses his Pom Pilot to Strong Bad.}

STRONG BAD: {singing as he uses the stylus to bring up the email} Checkin' my email... Here at the stick... That's pretty cool...

STRONG BAD: Uh, not really, man.

{He holds his hand straight to the front.}

STRONG BAD: I'm flippin' you off right now. Of course there's other ways to give somebody the finger.

{He puts his hand behind him.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, check it out: behind the back.

{He waves his hand in circles.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, around the world. And my personal favorite.

{He holds both of his arms up to the side.}

STRONG BAD: Psssshhh! The Double Deuce! What's your favorite, Pom Pom?

{Pom Pom holds one of his hands up.}

STRONG BAD: Ah, Pom Pom likes the Single Deuce.

{Pom Pom nods. Homestar walks on screen.}

STRONG BAD: Hey, Homestar!

{He flips his hand to Homestar.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, right back at you Strong Bad!

{Homestar walks away.}

STRONG BAD: He just gave me the bird!

POM POM: {laughs}

STRONG BAD: That wasn't funny, man! That'll hurt a guy's feelings. {Brooding} Okay, so until next week send me your email and I will more than likely flip you off.

{The Paper comes down. After a few seconds, Pom Pom briefly peeks his head out from under it and then straightens back up.}
