THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG SAD: The Cheat's got fifty bucks says the Lappy doesn't make it out of email 200 alive! Any takers? Any takers?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Homestar quickly hides his "bomb" under the table} I dunno nothing about nothing.
STRONG BAD: {standing in doorway, holding a crate labelled Last week's clams with a box labelled Cat noses on top of it} Do any of you have even one iota that lives down the street from a clue as to what you're talking about?

STRONG SAD: {music stops abruptly} Homestar, are those just candles with a drawing of a clock taped to them?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, um. Sorry guys, I gotta catch this invisible secret elevator. {Homestar slowly lowers himself below the table, stopping before his hat disappears} Boooooo.
STRONG SAD: How much you wanna bet he stays down there all week?
{The New Paper comes down, it reads Place your bets, people!}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- "G" is slang for $1,000 (a grand), making half a G $500.
- "Double Down" is a term in Blackjack meaning to double one's bet at any point after the initial cards have been dealt, and take exactly one more card.
Trivia
- Strong Sad's notebook reads:
- Meeting
- Pledge
- Wagers
- Fruit Dip
- Eyebrow Notions
Remarks
- Despite Strong Sad's claim of there being a 20% chance of the next emailer being named Dan, only 10 of the previous emails - roughly 5% - were sent by a Dan (or a derivative thereof).
Goofs
- Careful observation of the "Clams" crate Strong Bad carries into the scene reveals it has no bottom drawn onto it, although Strong Bad holds it as if did and it is drawn in a perspective that would normally allow the bottom to be clearly visible to the viewer.
