COACH Z: Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just grab a little oomp-ah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no time!
STRONG SAD: Ugh. I'm going to ignore that "oomp-ah down my pants" comment. {turns head towards the rope}But I'm more concered about what that rope is attached to. {looks back at Coach Z}
COACH Z: Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!
STRONG SAD: Coach Z, ropes are for dopes.
COACH Z: What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' scripture?
STRONG SAD: No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up
COACH Z: Sounds kinda like a toilet {pronounced "terlet"} if you ask me.

STRONG SAD: {off-scren} Hark to the Folky Tales of Saddy Dumpington! {The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides of the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.} He traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.
SADDY DUMPINGTON: I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm! They both died! Isn't that great!
{The girl starts crying. We cut to another area of the field, with a treestump and squirrel in it.}
SADDY DUMPINGTON: Oh, right! I do that all the time! I made some soup out of the rest of your family, just last night! Isn't that great?
{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}
STRONG SAD: But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles. Just sadness and misery.
{Cut to a town.}
SADDY DUMPINGTON:' {playing his washboard} Fear not, townsfolk!
