{Music plays. There is a red curtain with "The Animated Adventures of" on it. throughout the entire cartoon, there is a cardboard border around the edges. It opens to The Field. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" is in colorful letters that hang from strings. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" gets pulled up.}
{The music stops.}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} Once upon a time...
{Puppet Homestar Runner comes in from the right}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} ...here's the type of thing that happened.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {angrily} I don't believe it! I won't believe it! There isn't a pile right here! What kind of world do we live in, where there isn't a pile right here? {no longer angry} Well, I'm going to do my part! I'm gonna— {breaks off} umm... build a pile!
{Puppet Homestar leaves. He then comes back holding an egg.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: My pile will start with an egg!
{Puppet Homestar leaves and then comes back holding bacon.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: And, a bacon.
{Shark-Tooth Bubs appears.}
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: What you're doing in m-here, Homestar? W-you making a breakfast pile or...?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um, n—
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: A beach resort pile?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um, no...it's not supposed to be.
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: Well, looks like you're heading in that direction, if I'ms can say....
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, heavens!
{Shark-Tooth Bubs moves closer to Puppet Homestar.}
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: Why don't I be your pile manager? {moves back} I'll make sure it doesn't become a breakfast pile? For you?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You'd do that for me? Be my pile manager?
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: {lunging forwards, suddenly aggressive} Get back to work!
{The curtains close.}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} Everything was piles upon piles...
(The curtains open to Puppet Homestar and Shark-Tooth Bubs standing by a big pile)
STRONG SAD: (voiceover) ...until one day...
{Puppet Strong Bad and Puppet The Cheat come in from the left.}
STRONG BAD: Grabble-dee-garble-dee-grabble-a-grah!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh... what?
STRONG BAD: Oh, you haven't heard that yet? That's like, the new "Fe Fi Fo Fum".
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't like it. It'll never last.
STRONG BAD: Well, anyways, this is my pile now.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, no...! {leans backwards}
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: {moving forward} Say there, Moohhhldy Moldy. You need a pile manager?
STRONG BAD: You'd do that for me?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {angrily} You traitorous trade-about! {He exits screen right}
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: Sorry, piles, I got my own styles.
{Screen darkens and then curtain closes}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} And so the Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar—
{curtain opens to the Puppet Homestar moving in silhouette among some hills}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} — decided that he should seek out some help. He goed and goed until he finally went.
{Homestar stops on a hill}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ew!
{Curtain quickly closes and reopens to reveal Homestar in the field with Marshie and Doreauxgard}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You guys gotta help me! You're the only puppets left!
DOREAUXGARD: Well...sounds like you better protect yourself. Bag of doorknobs. {lunges towards Homestar} Bag of doors, if you can manage it!
MARSHIE: Oo! And then, oo! I've got just the thing! Now, huddle up boys, and make that old whispering sound!
{Music starts and the trio make indistinct whispering sounds.}
{Curtain closes and reopens to Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Shark-Tooth Bubs by the pile}
STRONG BAD: Man, who knew being king of the pile would be sooooooooooooooooooo exciting.
SHARK-TOOTH BUBS: I'm going to go throw up at your house.
{Shark-Tooth Bubs exits from the bottom of the screen and is replaced by Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ho ho!
STRONG BAD: Uh, what?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: "Ho ho!" It's the new "a ha".
STRONG BAD: I can live with that.
{Marshie comes flying in}
MARSHIE: Let 'em have it, Jackson! {Marshie flies off}
{A translucent sheet comes down so that The Cheat, Strong Bad, and Homestar are only seen as shadows}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uhhhhhhhhhh-AGGGH!!!!!
{The Homestar puppet comes off to reveal a squirming hand, which makes gurgling/growling noises}
{Strong Bad and The Cheat scream and flee screen left in terror}
{The hand lets out a yell after Strong Bad and The Cheat have left the screen}
{The Homestar Puppet covers the hand and the sheet comes up, leaving Homestar alone with the pile.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Too good, Strong Bad! {Doreauxgard comes in screen left and Marshie flies in} Looks like your fifteen minutes of pile are over!
{The screen darkens and from screen left enters a hand colored grey with Strong Sad's eyes on the knuckle}
STRONG SAD: And so, The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar lived {curtain closes} pretty well after that. Can't complain, really. I guess my thumb is pretty sore.
{Homestar enters screen right}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {whisperingly} Strong Sad.
STRONG SAD: {overlapping} I think this permanent marker is giving my hand a rash
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {whispering, overlapping} Stop it. Puppet thing is over.
STRONG SAD: And the bloating! Don't get me started on the bloating.
{Homestar continues to whisper to get Strong Sad's attention}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Stop it. Cut it out. Enough. It's the end.
{Strong Sad finally leaves screen left}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh? Wiggle it! Just a little bit? Strong Sad!
{"End." appears on the curtain}
