Transcript
{Scene in Marzipan's house, where Marzipan is applying mascara while looking in a hall mirror. She is already wearing lipstick. After a second, Homestar enters from the right.}
HOMESTAR: Wha-hoa, Marzipan! You look like a fox's mother!
MARZIPAN: {Still looking in mirror} Homestar, if you're trying to say I'm a foxy momma, that's actually more offensive.
HOMESTAR: Right, right. You know what I mean. The more offensive one. So where are we goin' tonight? {leans over} The Chez Perez?

MARZIPAN: {Turning away from the mirror and brandishing mascara brush} Look, Homestar, it's just a date. This has always been an open relationship.
HOMESTAR: Whoa-ha-ho-says you. I've turned down more fox's mothers than I can count just to stay loyal to you!
MARZIPAN: {Dryly} So, four, then?
HOMESTAR: Oh, that's rich. Ms. Smarty Pants, eh?
{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement}
STRONG BAD: Mr. Smarty Spots, huh? Well--

Easter Eggs
