STRONG BAD: {rapping} I'll take you back to a time when e-mail was king! {brings up the email}

{After "Strongbadia", a record scratches, the screen dims and another Strong Bad appears.}

SECOND STRONG BAD: Note to viewers:

{Screen cuts to Strongbadia. A cutout in the shape of Strong Bad labeled "SB" is shown.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} This is Strongbadia.

{Screen cuts to Bubs' Concession Stand, with a similar cutout for Bubs labeled "bubs".}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Not this...

{Screen cuts to Strong Bad's basement, with a cutout of Strong Mad labeled "graw mad".}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} ... this...

{Screen cuts to The Stick, with a cutout of Homestar labeled "ds".}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} ... or this.

{Cut back to Strongbadia.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Just this.

{Cut back to the still-dimmed Lappy.}

SECOND STRONG BAD: We clear? Now gimme five.

{The second Strong Bad holds up his left hand, and then disappears as the rest of the screen returns to normal and the original Strong Bad finishes reading the email. He reads "Tom B" as "Tomby" and "CA" as "Cactus Area."}

STRONG BAD: {typing} I'm not exactly sure how hot it is round here, Tomby. But we do have an old-timey, made-uppy, no-worky way of finding out.

{Cut to Strong Sad, sleeping on a brick wall. A book labeled "Mr. Chekhov" is next to him.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} We carefully place a spoonful...

{Strong Bad and Strong Mad rise from behind Strong Sad, and Strong Bad places a spoon of sauce on Strong Sad's head.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} ... of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's disturbing soft-serve flip. And then we just... ask him.

STRONG BAD: Hey!

{Strong Bad hits Strong Sad, who wakes up.}

STRONG BAD: Trundle bed. How hot it is right now?

STRONG SAD: Current temperature: ninety-seven, ninety-eight degrees. Humidity: twenty-five percent. {Strong Bad and Strong Mad slowly start to leave, making a tapping noise as they do.} Barometric pressure: thirty point oh five inches mercury. I'm gonna eat this spoonful of hoisin sauce.

{Strong Sad grabs the spoon from off his head and eats the sauce. Cut to the edge of the wall, where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are standing.}

STRONG BAD: You hear that?! The high nineties!

{Strong Bad pulls out a paper titled "Monkey D's Summer Tips". The screen cuts to a closeup of the paper.}

STRONG BAD: You know what that means!

{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Music starts.}

STRONG BAD AND STRONG MAD: COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!!

STRONG BAD: It's the pool that we've always had... that we use all the time... and the school has always had an elevator!

{Cut to Marzipan's couch. Marzipan is sitting on it. Homestar Runner pops up in the foreground.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Cool time!

MARZIPAN: Pool time!

{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Coach Z is leaning on the counter.}

COACH Z: Cool time?

BUBS: Pool time!

{Cut to the Field, where Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are standing.}

POM POM: {bubbles}

{The Poopsmith gives him the thumbs-up. Cut to the Pool. Strong Bad is sitting in the lifeguard's chair. Coach Z walks past in the background with a barrel over him. Bubs floats with inflatable toys on his arms. The Cheat skims across the surface of the water quickly twice. Cut to a closeup on Strong Bad.}

STRONG BAD: All right, ya little sacks of crap, just so I never have to use this weird foamy thing, {He kicks a floatation device hanging from his perch.} lemme 'splain the pool rules.

{A paper reading "POOL RULES" appears. Strong Bad reads along.}

STRONG BAD: Welcome to our 'ool. (Notice there is no "Take a crap in it" in it. Please keep it that way.

{Cut to The Poopsmith, wearing a Nebulon flotation device and testing the water with his foot.}

STRONG BAD: Poopsmith, don't even try it.

{A Nebulon-esque sound is heard as The Poopsmith hangs his head. Cut back to Strong Bad. The Pool Rules sheet returns, and the following rules get added with illustrations as Strong Bad mentions them.}

STRONG BAD: Also, no rough-horsing, no house-rousing, no butt-patting.

COACH Z: {offscreen} Aw, nuts!

STRONG BAD: And no running, no diving, no swimming.

{Cut back to Strong Bad.}

STRONG BAD: But that last one is not very widely enforced. But most importantly, after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical, have an ear-candling, and press UP, A and START before you go back in the pool.

MARZIPAN: Strong Bad, what did you put in this pool water?

{Strong Bad looks at Marzipan, whose ponytail has a green tinge and the very tip of it is burning away. The burning is slowly making its way up her ponytail, burning it off during the whole scene.}

Easter Eggs

  • Click on CA when Strong Bad says "Sunnyvale, Cactus Area" to see a menu:
Cactus Area
"The most boring Mexican restaurant on Earth"
(Yes, we know what salsa is now!)
  • Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Sad continuing his weather forecast:
STRONG SAD: Wind south, southwest at 10 miles per hour. Sunset at 8:45 PM. {the King of Town slowly comes up behind him} Baseball games at two and, uh, three. {King of Town puts a cherry on Strong Sad's head and pulls out a can of "Lard Wipt"}

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • Ear candling, also known as ear coning, is a folk remedy performed by sticking a candle in a person's ear and lighting it in order to remove earwax and accumulated debris.

Remarks

  • Strong Bad's explanation that Strong Badia consists only of the vacant lot he claimed as his own is probably for the benefit of e-mailers and others who mistakenly think that "Strong Badia," rather than Free Country, USA, is the name for the region where he and the rest of the gang live.
