8-Bit is Enough Responses (Gel-Arshie's Backstage)
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has many responses when you talk to various characters and interact with various objects. These are the responses from Gel-Arshie's Backstage in 8-Bit Is Enough.
On these pages, A → B (right arrow) means that the response happens when object A is used on thing B, or in the case of talking to other characters, the indicated sequence of chat topic icons are chosen.
A short horizontal line between two or more responses, such as the one above, means only one of the responses is heard at a time, and that the action results in a different response each time it occurs.
NOTE: This area is inaccessible once Gel-Arshie joins your party.

[edit] Backstage
- {First time only}
- {Strong Bad materializes in sprite until he is back to his old self. He notices a bizarre fruit contraption, whose suction gun picks up fruits from boxes labeled "Ammo" and "Fruit Supply", respectively. It is currently over "Ammo"}
- STRONG BAD: Weird. I don't remember the Gel-Arshie game looking like this.
- GEL-ARSHIE: {getting off his board} What're you doing back here?! Nobody's allowed backstage without a chaperone!
- STRONG BAD: {irritated} Look, having to talk to you is no bowl of cherries for me, either.
- GEL-ARSHIE: Cherries?! Where?! I love cherries!
- STRONG BAD: Anyways, as I was saying, I thought I was jumpin' into the game. How come you're just standing around here, not not loafing?
- GEL-ARSHIE: That's 'cause nobody's playing the game! I'm in attract mode!
[edit] Assorted Red Fruit
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: This must be where all the apples, cherries and strawberries in the game come from.
- GEL-ARSHIE: I'm not allowed to go near that bin anymore! Once I start, I just can't... stop... myself...
- STRONG BAD: This must be where all the apples, cherries and strawberries in the game come from.
[edit] Gel-Arshie
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: So. Freakshow.
- GEL-ARSHIE: Hey, kids! Come to watch me get radical on the half-pipe?
- STRONG BAD: No. I'm looking for anybody to help me get farther in a videogame so I can kill a dragon.
- GEL-ARSHIE: Well KEEP LOOKIN'! Around here, I'm in charge. I'M THE GOD! And I ain't leaving until somebody hits the kill... kill... KILL SCREEN!
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: {pops up} Hey, Strong Bad, what's a kill kill KILL SCREEN?
- STRONG BAD: Oh, that's when you play a videogame for so long, and get a score so high, and have a life so depressing, that you break the videogame!
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: {enlightened} Oh. {curiously} Hey, Strong Bad, why is the sky blue?
- STRONG BAD: Go away, Homestar. {Homestar vanishes.} You only get one question per day.
- STRONG BAD: So, Creepzilla, this game sucks and you know it.
- GEL-ARSHIE: {hostilely} Then how come nobody's been able to BEAT it yet? Huh? NOBODY!
[edit] Jela-Ton Packs
- STRONG BAD: "Red-Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert-Related Substance."
- GEL-ARSHIE: That's for the product placement at the end of every level! Gotta push those units!
- STRONG BAD: {irritated} I'd like to... push stupid units...
[edit] Lever
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: {flipping the lever} I have yet to meet a random lever that I could not push for no reason.
- {The suction gun moves over to the Fruit Supply box}
- {Subsequent times}
- {Strong Bad flips the lever in silence, with the suction gun moving over to the other box.}
[edit] Pineapple Gun
- STRONG BAD: It's the Professor's semi-robotomatic Pineapple Gun.
[edit] Pineapples
- STRONG BAD: It's a giant bin full of fresh pineapple slices.
[edit] Professor Pineapple
{First time only}
- STRONG BAD: So, Professor Pineapple, got any ideas on how I can take out Trog... {realizes that Professor Pineapple isn't moving} What? {annoyed} Oh, what a rip-off!! He's not even real! He's just a prop!
- GEL-ARSHIE: Sometimes... after the game shuts down... I can hear him talking to me. He tells me to do things.
- STRONG BAD: {disgusted} It's Gel-Arshie's totally fake nemesis, Professor Pineapple.
- GEL-ARSHIE: He can't beat me! Nobody can!
[edit] Screen
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: {disgusted} It's made out of... plywood and duct tape. {turns to the camera} I knew this game was cheap, but where's the craftsmanship, people?
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: {pops up} That's why I never go backstage for The Show. It ruins the magic... {amazed} Hey, I can see your house from here!
- STRONG BAD: {annoyed} No, Homestar... {faces the screen} ...you're only supposed to say that when you're way high up... {realizes the statement} Oh wait... {Homestar vanishes.} I really can see my house from here! We must be inside my own Fun Machine!
- STRONG BAD: {unsettled} It's kind of a creep-take knowing Gel-Arshie can look out into my bedroom.
[edit] Slider
- {If the slider is on the left side}
- {First time only}
- STRONG BAD: Difficulty slider? No wonder this game is so boring.
- {He moves the slider over to the right}
- STRONG BAD: Now it's set to high!
- GEL-ARSHIE: Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!
- STRONG BAD: {moves the slider to the right} Now it's set to high!
- {If the slider is on the right side}
- STRONG BAD: I'd better knock it back down to "Low". {moves the slider to the left}
