{Strong Bad is at the Compé, this time with a Where's An Egg II wallpaper.}
STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, people can you feel me? To e-mail me? Also, don't really try to feel me? {double-clicks on the strongabad_email.exe icon}
Dear Strong Bad,
You are the superest, awesomest guy ever. That
makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian
dictionary fo your own words?
Sincerely Yours,
Costrick
{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Course I do Cross-stitch. {rapping} You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictonaries are only good for helping {cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth} The Cheat brush his teeth {cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right} and helping Homestar lose his teeth.
STRONG BAD: Hurl!
{Strong Bad throws the dictionary}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Tooth! {a giant tooth lays on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}
{Cut back to the Compé}
STRONG BAD: {typing} For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, {cut to a close up of the book} Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!
{Strong Bad puts a sticky note on the book}
STRONG BAD: {quickly} Or Count Longardeuax's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth, for short.
{Cut back to the Compé}
STRONG BAD: {typing} We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert {cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background} at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.
OLD LADY: Oh, that looks sinfully—
STRONG BAD: {record scratch} Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—
{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}
STRONG BAD: which makes for way less words!
STRONG SAD: Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke=valanche"!
{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}
STRONG BAD: And that brings us to the Suffix section. {each "suffix" is highlighted in turn} -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.
{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}
STRONG BAD: All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!
{Cut to a sample from the book}
NARRATOR: {smoothly} This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.
{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}
STRONG BAD: Now that is talking like a Strong Bad dude!
