STRONG BAD: Chee-wit! Chee-wit! Chee-wi-chee-wi-email.
{reading}
Dear Strong Bad, How come you never let The Cheat answer any emails? Lasko Milwaukee, WI
{Strong Bad says "Lasko" low, long, and drawn-out and says "WI" as "Wisaconasin"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, Lasko {said as before}, The Cheat is not very popular and he never really gets many emails and um, to tell you the truth, I don't even think he has a computer. {stops typing} Alright, next email.
{He makes a vocal sound effect as the next e-mail scrolls up (henceforth "vocal sfx"), and starts reading.}
Hey Strong Bad! i love The Cheat! can you ask him for me if he is taken? because i like him WAY better then you -Nobuyoshi Shigeta, New York
{Strong Bad stops reading at "i like him WAY better then-"}
STRONG BAD: Augh, seen enough of that one.
{vocal sfx; reading}
Dear Strong Bad, You and the Cheat are the only reason I go on this website. Actually just the Cheat, but you are ok too. Love, Mito
{Strong Bad stops reading for a second after the first sentence, and says "Oh, thank you!" His mood sours for the rest of the email, however, and Strong Bad says "Mito" as "Dumpo"}
STRONG BAD: Geez, all these Cheat emails. Moving on. {The screen flashes "MOVING ON!!" with the "deleted" noise and the blue screen. We zoom out to see The Cheat watching the email on his iMac by a hidden video camera in the computer room. He gets progressively angrier as it progresses.}
{vocal sfx; reading}'
Dear Strong Bad, I think The Cheat is hot. Could you hook us up? Haelee, Utah
STRONG BAD: That's funny, Haelee. I think the Cheat is deleted. BAAH! {DELETED!! reading}
Hey Strong Bad My girlfriend thinks The Cheat is cute. Tyler, California
{The Cheat storms off in a fit. Cut back to just Strong Bad at Compy.}
STRONG BAD: Come on, people! He's not even that cute! He looks like a...a cheese! {The Cheat walks up to him} Or maybe an anvil. {The Cheat squeaks angrily.} Uhhh...which are two of the finest things in life. A cheese...or an anvil. Hey The Cheat! Just, uh, talking you up to one of the fans here! {The Cheat squeaks} Oh. So you been...watching the email, huh? {The Cheat squeaks} No, I haven't been holding out on you! I made all those emails up! Uh... most of the emails you get are not that friendly, lemme tell you. If you just turn around for a second I could show you! {pause, then Strong Bad tapes a piece of paper to Compy saying "the cheat" covering the place where Strong Bad's name usually appears} HUTTAH!
{reading}
DEAR the cheat WHERE THE HECK IS YOU SHIRT??? YOUR GLOVES ARE STUPID! I HATE YOU, HOLMES, California
STRONG BAD: {to The Cheat} See? This guy doesn't like that you don't have a shirt on, and he thinks your gloves are stupid! And then there's this one:
{reading}
Dear the cheat how do you type with boxing gloves on your hands? derek
STRONG BAD: {to The Cheat} I've been wondering about that, too! What is with you and those boxing gloves anyway?
{The Cheat squeaks and a black cloud of smoke escapes from his head. He walks away.}
STRONG BAD: So okay bye! Whooh. I think I handled that pretty well! That coulda been...awkward. I deserve a reward. {he runs take-a-break.exe, which is a screen saver of a beach} Aahhh... so relaxing. Fshhhhhhhhh! Fshhhhhhhhh! Listen to the waves, man. {a bird flaps past} Oh, hello my winged friend!
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- At the very end while Strong Bad is watching "Take-a-break.exe" you can click on the bird to download the "take-a-break.exe" for Windows or Mac.
Fun Facts
- This is the only e-mail with an exclamation mark in the title.
- Believe it or not, this is the only time that the Compy uses the proper "DELETED!!!" screen on a specific e-mail (it was being used more generally in unused emails and replacement, and all other instances on the Compy are things like "MATT!!" and "NOTTA CHANCE!!")
- Technically, he also DELETED!!! the fast-forwarded email about Delaware during 2 emails, but it is not obvious or part of the plot of the email.
- The Floppy Disk Container holds Starflight, a long-winded spaceship game for the PC, released in 1986.
- The email is called huttah! because thats what Strong Bad says when he slaps the cheats name onto the compy.
DVD Version
- The link to download take-a-break.exe has obviously been removed. However, you can click on a hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom-left corner of the Compy 386 screen to get a fullscreen demo of Take A Break.
