Transcript
{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}
THE POOPSMITH: {singing} Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!
{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.
STRONG BAD: PUKE! Please be seated. How about that, Poopsmith? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundred sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff {voice wavers} not totally disgusted!
