{Marzipan walks through the Field, which is covered with leaves. A clock comes up from the bottom of the screen reading "8:13 pm"; however, the sun is clearly still out. Strong Bad hides behind The Stick wearing a red witch's hat and mask.}
MARZIPAN: Do do-doo. Lots of leaves. Do do-doo.
STRONG BAD: {jumping out from behind The Stick} Grooly bloody gross and blood!
MARZIPAN: {bored} Eh, nice try, Strong Bad. I'm just not feeling it in broad daylight. And, you're hiding behind a twig.
STRONG BAD: Yeah, I know. Why isn't it dark yet?
{Cut to Homestar, dressed as a newsboy and holding up a newspaper. As he says each line, he holds up a different newspaper whose headline matches what he's saying.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Extrie, extrie! Read all about it! Halloween night missing! Citizens mobilize to save holiday! In unrelated news, this newsboy get-up is not my Halloween costume!
