STRONG BAD: {singing} Let a lil' email in your heart, and it will clog your arteries!
subject: sbemail!!Hey there Strong Bad,
As a typical college girl I was wondering if there is a
pizza joint somewhere in Strong Badia...you know, if me and
my girls wanted to come hang out sometime.
Hopeful in Pennsylvania,
Daphne
STRONG BAD: BLARG! Yes, We have a pizza joint! {mumble} pizza joint! {Cut to the computer room, Strong Bad falls off his chair and then rolls off the screen.}Always been at the pizza joint! Come to the pizza joint with me!
{Cut to Strongbadia. Strong Bad is standing behind a box, which The Cheat is busy writing "Strong Bad's Strong Badian PIZZ". Thay are surrounded by pizza boxes.}
STRONG BAD: Hurry up with that sign, The Cheat!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat Noises}
STRONG BAD: {walks to the front} No, no, no, that's already way to long. We need something short and catchy that Daphne and her girls can say real quick. You know, like, "The Max", or "The Emporium" (check that). It's never gonna work if they have to be like;
{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene. Cheerleader and So and So are wearing towels. What's her Face is wearing the same clothes. The Ugly One is dressed like a mummy. Daphne is there too, wearing a towel that supposedly says Daphne}
DAPHNE: Hey gals! Let's towel off and meet up at {words appear on screen as they are said} Strong Bad's Strong Badian pizza...
CHEERLEADER: {interrupting} This is taking too long!
WHAT'S HER FACE: I'm already bored!
SO AND SO: I'm going home!
THE UGLY ONE: I belong in a museum!
