{open with a pan down to Strong Bad and Strong Mad draped on the couch in the basement. The Cheat lays in the crisper drawer nearby. Nearly empty plates of food are scattered around them. Television noises can be heard, while the trio groans}
TELEVISION ANNOUNCER: Manchester has the ball at the top of the twenty... The fifteen... The ten! Touchdown! {whistle blows}
STRONG MAD: {groans} FLUFFY PUFF CASSAROLE... {falls asleep and begins snoring}
STRONG BAD: {turns to The Cheat} All right, The Cheat! Strong Mad's asleep! We can finally watch not-football!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: What do ya mean, there's nothing else good on? 'Course there is! It's Thanksgiving Day!
{cut to the TV, where the King of Town appears onscreen, standing in the Field, near a pot of some kind}
THE KING OF TOWN: Hello! I'ma King of Town, here with an important message about Thanksgiving safety! Specifically, the dangers of not frying a turkey! Each year—
{a graph comes down, showing three bars for "NOT Fried Turkey Family", "Fried Turkey Family", and "Pile o' Bones", with the heading "1985-2002". The "NOT Fried Turkey Family" bar is the largest}
THE KING OF TOWN: —thousands of families suffer from not fried turkeys. So please, this Thanksgiving {the words come up onscreen as he talks} don't be a jerky, fry that turkey!
{the screen crackles, and the scene changes to Saddy Dumpington and Turkey Joe standing in the woods}
SADDY DUMPINGTON: There's nothing to worry about, Turkey Joe! Even though I'm going to gut you and rip your entrails out with my hand, I'm gonna grind 'em with some rosemary and sage and shove 'em right back up there! Isn't that great?
{Turkey Joe starts crying. Cut with the screen fizzle to Marzipan in her kitchen, where all manner of food ingredients are laid out before her}
MARZIPAN: All right, all you turkey liberators out there. Here's how we make Marzipan's Famous Thanksgiving Faux-ducken. {as she says this, a piece of paper baring the words appears in the left corner. As she continues, the recipe appears on the paper} Now stuff millet inside of bulgur, inside of meatless veggie nuggets {lifts one}, inside of tempeh, injected into bean curd, wrapped in fakin bacon, and baked inside of hemp toddler pants. {holds up a pair of rough pants, with a small duckie patch sewn on them}
{Cut with screen fizzle to the Cheat Commandos in their headquarters. Aside from Gunhaver, each commando is wearing a pilgrim hat}
GUNHAVER: Well, pilgrims, it looks like all we're getting this year is another lame Thankgiving special!
{Close up on Silent Rip, who is wearing his hat on top of his helmet}
SILENT RIP: At least we didn't get stuck with Secretary Appreciation Day!
{Cut to Reynold}
REYNOLD: I think you mean "Administrative Professionals Day"!
{cut to an office, where the Blue Laser Commander sits. A minion approaches him with a cup of coffee}
BLUE LASER MINION: Here's your coffee, sir. {he leaves}
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Nice job, sweetcheeks!
{screen fizzle cut to Bubs at his consession stand. The word "ATTENTION!!" flashes in big, yellow letters}
