STRONG SAD: {offscreen} Hey Strong Bad! {Strong Bad turns to see Strong Sad standing there} I found this egg in the couch. Is this yours?

STRONG BAD: {typing} Sorry about that, Mike. So, the "R"
STRONG SAD: Here's a duck egg, a nuthatch egg, ostrich egg, maybe a dinosaur egg, one of those brown eggs...
STRONG BAD: What are you trying to say, Strong Sad? So I got a lotta eggs. And I keep 'em in the couch.
STRONG SAD: There needs to be a better word for weird.

{Strong Sad walks off, Strong Bad resumes typing}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Fine with me, Strong Sad. I mean Mike. I mean whatever.

Other things of interest

- When Strong Bad types "So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, The 'R' in routine stands for r" and the camera angle changes to show Strong Sad and the eggs, "routine" is now misspelled "rountine."

- To date this is the only email that contains an Easter egg you get by clicking the "Compy 386" logo, one of only two Easter eggs that include actual eggs. The other one is in flashback.
- We never did find out what the "R" stands for...
- There's also a band called Interruptor Jones. (Anyone know which of these came first?)

- The tune playing on the TV set while Strong Bad is waking up is the theme song from "Voyage of the Mimi," an educational TV show from the 1980s featuring Ben Affleck.
