STRONG BAD: {rapping} I was born to check emails and eat lots of cake!
subject: dream bookDear Strong Bad,
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams.
Kat
Spokane, Wash.
{After reading the email once, Strong Bad repeats it in rap twice. He says "Wash." as the word "wash".}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises from offscreen}
{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}
STRONG BAD: Oh, all right. One more time.
THE CHEAT: {approving The Cheat noises}
{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard.}
STRONG BAD: {rapping} I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreams! {On "dreams" he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling.} There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!
THE CHEAT: {affirmatory The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}
{Cut back to the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. {moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".} Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. {scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.} It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, {adds "taco" before each "salad"} "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." {moves the cursor below the email, types} Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.
{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry [sic] of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The inside cover reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} The Strong Bad pop-up book obviously featured...
{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}
STRONG BAD: ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! {The cherubs bob up and down} And had a little tab on my ?? so you could make me talk! {As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms} You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I wanna dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! {As the cherubs, who bob up and down} Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! {as himself} Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab!
{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal a computer reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}
STRONG BAD: Oh look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old question!
{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}
SPEAKER: {very indistinctly} Deleted!
STRONG BAD: Delay-had? What does that mean?
{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}
SPEAKER: Deleted!
STRONG BAD: Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.
{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}
STRONG BAD: No wonder I got rid of that old ??
{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A forklift and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}
