{Close-up of a water cooler. The title words, "Biz Cas Fri" appear. Air bubbles rise into the cooler. Cut to Puppet The Cheat and Puppet Strong Bad standing in front of his computer. Strong Bad is wearing his customary Friday shirt, and The Cheat has on a tie. Smoke is coming out of the computer.}
THE CHEAT: {interrogative squeaks, sounds like "What's wrong with it?"}
STRONG BAD: I didn't do anything. I just turned it on, tried to check my email, and then it started smokin' and shakin' it like it was Friday night.
THE CHEAT: {squeaks, sounds like "Did you back up your files?"}
STRONG BAD: Back up my files? Are you kidding? Is that a real thing you have to do? I always thought that that was just like... you know, a figure of speech.
THE CHEAT: {questioning squeaks, sounds like "Figure of speech?"}
STRONG BAD: I dunno, like "Wake up and smell the coffee," or "See ya later, alligator!"
THE CHEAT: {squeaks angrily (sounds like "yeah, yeah, yeah") and leaves}
STRONG BAD: Oh, great. Now my computer's dead. This almost never happens to me!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {enters room} What's up, my homie? {pronounced ho-may} Ew, what's that smell? Did Mancuso at Accounting put his three-hole punch in the microwave again? That guy sucks.
STRONG BAD: Oh, get outta here, man!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, not yet. So, did you get that email that I forwarded to everyone in the company and their families and their high school friends?
STRONG BAD: No. Can't you see my computer and I are having domestic problems?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, man. You should check it out right now. It has a three gig hilarious file attachment attached to it. It's one of the funniest emails I've forwarded this week.
STRONG BAD: Three gig attachment? Oh, no wonder!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: When you get that mess fixed, check out that attachment. The file's called {The words of the file appears on the screen as Homestar says them} "catonfire_fallingfromanairplane.exe". I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but trust me you got to check it out. I was R.O.T.F. all over the place when I saw that. Anyways, I'm gonna go see what Gunderson thought of it. That guy doesn't suck. See ya later, alligator. {Homestar leaves}
STRONG BAD: Yeah, back up your files. {He presses a key, and the computer explodes, leaving ashes and a demolished tape dispenser.} Wah! That's the worst computer explosion I've ever seen! Is there anything I can salvage? Eh... I think I can see some of the third-quarter analysis spreadsheet in there. Oh! Is that my buddy list? I gotta back that up! {Strong Bad pulls out a manilla envelope and begins scooping the ashes into it. He begins muttering.} Sweep some of this in here... my buddy list... The Cheat, Strong Mad... buddies...
