subject: sickDear Strong Bad,I've noticed you never seem to get sick. How do you
stay so dang healthy all the time?Sincerely Crap,
Grant, BC
{Cut to a view of Strong Bad's desk. Strong Bad is severely ill and curled up into a ball under the table, coughing and shivering. A box of tissues that reads "Tish You!", lies next to him along with a mess of used up tissues. }
STRONG BAD: {coughing} The Cheat! Get in here with my puke pail. {coughing} And bring me some tissues. Lots more tissues!
{Homestar walks in from the right of the screen with a thermometer in his mouth and an obvious look of sickness}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad, my burps smell really bad. Check this out. {making breathing noises} Hang on.
STRONG BAD: Ugh. Go away. I can't smell anything anyways.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, I'm betting you can smell these!
STRONG BAD: Yeah, well you're lucky it's your burps that smell. DO NOT go into Strong Mad's room. Or, as I've taken to calling it, Rotten Egglünd.
{Cut to outside Strong Mad's room. The door is covered with police tape that reads "Quarantine!". There is a green haze coming out from the bottom of the door.}
STRONG MAD: Somebody heeeeelp!
{Cut back to Strong Bad and Homestar in the Computer Room.}
STRONG BAD: Ugh. The Cheat! What's taking so long with my tissues?
THE CHEAT: {in a green bucket that reads "Puke Pail for Him!"} (crying noises)
STRONG BAD: {coughing} Oh well. I guess I'll just re-use some of these already re-reused ones. {grabs a tissue} Ow! They're pointy now!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Strong Bad, I don't think you're going to be able to answer your word problem this week. So I'll take one for the team. Two trains enter a tunnel going four mile per hour. At what time do they reach Poughkeepsie?
STRONG BAD: {groans and coughs while speaking} The Paapeeeer!
{The Paper comes down, with a distorted noise. It appears crinkled and says "Strong Bad, I can't come in today".}
STRONG BAD: Oh no, not you too! Can I blow my nose on you?
{The Paper retracts.}
