==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in falsetto}'' Why do I check emails the way I do? I don't know. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ladies...</div>
Dear Strongest of the Bads,<br>
We are two desperate losers who could never get any<br>
ladies. Since you're such a lady expert, could you give us<br>
any tips on lady...ing.<br>
Your 2nd and 3rd best Friends Ever,<br>
Lorenzo and Fillbert</blockquote>

''{After reading "could never get any ladies", Strong Bad says "Oooh, something I would not openly admit." He inserts a long pause between "lady" and "ing."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 2nd and 3rd best friends?? What about Fabrosi? What'd you two do to Fabrosi? Eh, whatever. That guy's probably out lady-ing with that fake mustache he always wears. It's only gonna attract gold-diggers. ''{hits return}'' Desperate losers or not, you guys should remember that I addressed this issue, like, 5 or 6 years ago. In fact, I think it mighta been the first email I ever checked. The Cheat, roll that beautiful email footage!

''{Cut to the computer desk. The Cheat walks in holding a laserdisc.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, a laserdisc. ''{music starts and The Cheat spins the disc as Strong Bad sings}'' The Cheat's playin' something on a laserdisc. Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc! ''{The Cheat and Strong Bad touch hands as the music stops.}''

''{The Cheat walks to the left. Cut to the old loading screen from Marshmallow's Last Stand, then to the Arena from the same toon. Closeup on the Announcer.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And in the red corner, hailing from Parts Unknown, ''{holds microphone closer}'' the Ramblin' Wreck of Email Check, Strong Bad!

''{Cut to the corner of the wrestling ring, which contains a table with the Tandy on it. Strong Bad pops out from a trapdoor.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
I am a desperate loser. Can you<br />
give me any tips on lady-ing?<br />
Your 1st best Friend ever,<br />
Fabrosi</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' But of course. When it comes to the ladies, I've got no... competition! ''{He pronounces the last word like on the Strong Bad talker. He jumps up and shakes as he says it.}'' Holy crap.

''{Cut to a close-up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, Fabrosi, you've got to look as much as possible like the Strong Bad. {He points to himself with both hands.} Take off your shirt, ''{produces some sandpaper}'' sand off your nipples, ''{rubs it on his chest; the camera pans down to his feet}'' and wear tight pants that accentuate all your sublteties ''{pronounced "subbleties"}''. ''{He shakes his body around once.}'' But sometimes ''{shakes it again}'' that's not enough, and you have to douse yourself in the finest ''{produces a can of gasoline}'' Mongolian aftershave lotion.

''{He douses himself as the crowd cheers "Yay!" Strong Bad walks off and over to Homestar Runner (sans cap) and Marzipan. Gasoline fumes eminate above Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Marzipan. Do you want a-my bod!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, why do you smell like a garage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Me too!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, you... Take a-this!

''{He leaps at Homestar, somersaulting over and over with a helicopter-like noise. He lands right on Homestar's head. There is a huge explosion of stars as Homestar is knocked to the mat, stars spinning above his eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The ladies also can't resist... ''{All of the sudden his chest is very defined; his biceps bulge up.}'' ...muscular wrestling moves... ''{The camera pulls back.}'' ...off the top rope!

''{Strong Bad leaps from the top rope and crashes right on Homestar, who is still down. There is another starry explosion.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ow!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's resistable.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if that doesn't work, bring out your cute baby brother ''{Strong Sad walks up but falls through the ground when a trapdoor appears}'' or holy-crap-adorable pet ''{The Cheat walks in from the right}''.

''{The Cheat flashes his bright blue eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now it smells like a garage with a litter box in it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I told you to wear finest Mongolian aftershave lotion!

''{The Cheat hums and blinks his eyes some more. Strong Bad kicks him out of the ring.}''
