Transcript

STRONG BAD: And I can check my wha? And you can check your wha. If I can check my wha, then you can {rhythmic mumbles}

{Strong Bad reads "S to the Bad" as "Stothe Bad" and "FL" as "for life".}

STRONG BAD: {typing} Don't sweat it, Mike. You're already on the right track by coming to me first. Instead of, ya know, like, your parents or a medical professional or any number of {text begins to become smaller as his voice gets quieter} non-email checking wrestlemen. {clears screen} And while I'm no dad meself, I actually do have some expertise on the subject. Turns out we all had to try out some child rearing in one of the nebulous health classes {The "health classes" text becomes wavy, distorted and starts to grow. The entire screen dims except the area around those words, while various "spooky" sound effects play. Traffic sounds also play. Eventually, the words and screen return to normal with a "pop" sound effect, and Strong Bad continues} that we for some reason allow Coach Z to teach us.

{Cut to a panning shot of Marzipan, Homestar and Strong Bad looking questioningly at bags of banana pudding.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} We were all given sammich bags full of banana puddin' to take care of as practice for raisin' a baby.

{Cut to Coach Z, standing by a sign reading "HEY! A GOOD PERSON" with an arrow pointing at Coach Z himself.}

COACH Z: All right, potential parental units, you all have your R.H.B's, {produces his own bag of pudding} or as we in the medical field call ‘em: {He turns the page on the sign, showing a drawing of a bag of pudding with a face on it labeled:} “Real Human Babies”. Now, the next 18 to 35 years o' yer life are gonna revolve around keepin' this thing alive-slash-in a wi-fi hotspot. {He turns the page again, showing the pudding with a smartphone with a wi-fi symbol over its head.}

{Cut to Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: How is this slopsack anything like a real human baby?

{Cut to Coach Z}

COACH Z: Exaca like an R.H.B.! It's small, it's mushy, smells like plastic, and it's fulla yellow goop! And whichever one o' youse keeps theirs alive the longest—

{Cut to the King of Town, who has opened his bag and is slurping up the last of the pudding through a straw.}

KING OF TOWN: And I'm out! {leaves}

{Cut back to Coach Z.}

COACH Z: —gets a different bag of pistachio puddin' {holds up bag of pistachio pudding} as a reward!

{Cut to Homestar and Strong Bad}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {mumbling, with a different pose for each line as though imitating a whole crowd:} Oh, sounds pretty good! Didja hear? Pistachio pudding! Bag of pudding! Have you heard the latest news? Not a bad pudding! Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Whadja say? I wasn't listening.

{Strong Bad gives Homestar an annoyed expression as crickets chirp for a few seconds.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What? I can be a one-man hubbub.

{Cut to Coach Z}

COACH Z: Now get out there in that fierld and show me some defense!

{A whistle sounds as the scene wipes to Homestar, Marzipan, Strong Bad, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat shuffling around on a football field with Coach Z's silhouette in the foreground.}

ALL BUT COACH Z: {indistinct grunts}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: shimmy shimmy...

COACH Z: Or... I mean... do all the good baby stuff and whatnot.

{Silhouettes of the six students appear, break off into pairs, and walk away from each other. A drum beat starts.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And so, we paired off into... er, pairs, and set off to experience the ponders of warenting.

{A splash screen with those last four words appears.}

SINGERS: The ponders of warenting!

{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat. The Cheat is holding the corner of the bag of pudding in his mouth. Its seal has come undone, and some of the pudding has dripped down to the floor.}

STRONG BAD: Don't hold it like that! She'll get the droops! You gotta hold it by the corners. Like you would a real baby.

THE CHEAT: {with an upset expression} {The Cheat noises}

STRONG BAD: Well this ain't no Cheat-pup! Give it here! {He takes the bag and holds it up by the corners.} There there, pud-wad. Let's just settle down and scoop your brains back in. {He kneels down and starts scooping the pudding off the floor and back into the bag.} Like you would a real baby.

{The splash screen returns, still reading "The Ponders of Warenting".}

SINGERS: The ponders of warenting!

{Cut to Strong Sad, who has his bag of pudding sitting on top of some paper towels, with safety pins and a jar of talcum powder nearby.}

STRONG SAD: Oookay, gotta change this baby. Let's see... {cut to a view from above the bag, looking at Strong Sad} Triangle, quarter to tip, tuck down, scrimshaw right, scrimshaw left, and done!

{Cut back to show the bag of pudding now sitting in a paper hat. Strong Mad appears, holding an origami crane with banana pudding dripping from it.}

STRONG MAD: I FORGOT TO SCRIMSHAW LEFT!

{The splash screen returns, still reading "The Ponders of Warenting".}

SINGERS: The ponders of warenting!
