''{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 manner 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:}''
