Transcript
{A typical Internet Explorer error page appears. The sound of a whistling wind is heard. Homestar Runner enters from the right.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {walks in looks at the error} Ummmm... what's going on here? What happened to my website?
{Strong Bad enters from the left.}
STRONG BAD: The system is down, yo!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ohh... the system... right, right.
STRONG BAD: Yeah, I think too many people tried to log on. {scratches his head} Uh.. sorry about that.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What are you sorry for? It's my website.
STRONG BAD: Um... I don't think they're coming to see you, Homestar.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What, you think everyone's logging on to watch "tape-leg"? Yeah, that's a good one.
STRONG BAD: Hey, shut up! The tape-leg is cool.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, when do I get my website back?
STRONG BAD: Oh, anytime now. We've got our top men working on it round-the-clock.
{Bubs enters from the left.}
BUBS: Well I found the problem. Looks like someone tried to cram-a-lam a Swiss Cake Roll into the disk drive.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, really? {leaning towards Strong Bad, eyeing him skeptically}
STRONG BAD: Uh, what are you looking at me for? I did-- hut-- wut-- nany-- huit-- {runs off quickly}
{The note appears which looks like an error message appears, taped to the screen. It says, "Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined."]
HOMESTAR RUNNER: So, Bubs... What are you gonna do with that Swiss Cake Roll?
