STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, who's checkin' emails with his pans, who's checkin' emails with his pants! {brings up the email}
subject: Ancient Ruins?Dear Strong Bad,
Do you know whether or not there are ancient ruins
buried deep under Strong Badia?
Thanks,
Paul M. Pasquella
{reads "Pasquella" as "Pathquaya"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well Pauly Pasqually, I know for sure there's a lotta something buried deep under Strong Badia. Mainly cause I rent out the dirt to unsavory characters in need of a place to stash, ditch, or make disappear, the evidence of their choice. {clears screen} I never really thought that there might be ancient ruins down there, though. I think this calls for America's coolest children's game show consolation prize: the metal detector! {music starts playing}
{Cut to a blackboard with "SLOP! MESS! QUIZ!" written on it}
ANNOUNCER: And our stupid contestants will receive the Taranchula brand black Metal Detec-tor! {While he speaks, Taranchula's logo and the metal detector appear, followed by Videlectrix Kidx logo.} From Videlectrix Kidx..sx!
{picture of Schenkel McDoo giving an "OK" sign moves in}
SCHENKEL MCDOO: {voice} Yah, guys, maybe find some coin! {words appear as he speaks}
{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and the Cheat are standing in a large, shallow depression in the dirt with a shovel nearby. The Cheat is wearing a pith helmet. Strong Bad is using the Taranchula metal detector.}
THE CHEAT: {questioning The Cheat noises}
{close up on Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: I already told you, man! Where there's ruins, there's riches! And booby-traps we can steal ideas from!
{cut back to wide shot}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises, saluting}
STRONG BAD: Well, let's do thiiiiiiiiiis! {ends on a high pitch}
{Strong Bad switches on metal detector and moves it around. The metal detector makes heavy metal beats in increasing frequency}
STRONG BAD: Whoa, we're getting warm! {takes a step forward, the metal detector starts playing a guitar solo} We've got something, The Cheat!
{He steps back and The Cheat sweeps the ground with a small brush. A small red object appears in the dirt.}
{Close-up of Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: {dropping metal detector} It looks like the top of an enormous riches-filled structure! And wait, there's an inscription! {leans forward, reading} "Col...donesdry..." Must be the name of an ancient civilization!
{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad in front of the fence}
STRONG SAD: {raising finger} Uh, me again! I think that's just the cap of a bottle of {cut to bottle cap in the dirt} Cold Ones Dry. You can probably just pick it up.

King of Town Shut up, lady!
Also at the end, click on 'coldonesdry' to hear a pitch for Cold Ones Dry:
{A cold Ones Dry bottlecap is slowly moving across a purple background}
Announcer: Cold Ones Dry, the official beverage of Taranchula
{A picture of Schenkel McDoo with a word balloon reading what he's about to say}
