ANNOUNCER: —Secret Collect will return after these messages!
{The TV fades in to a shot of a fence, behind which Puppet Homestar and Puppet The Cheat are "throwing" a ball on a stick. Puppet Homestar is not moving. A Cheap As Free watermark appears in the bottom right.}

PUPPET STRONG BAD: {gasp}
{Zoom into the TV as it cuts to Puppet Strong Bad and the plush doll riding the Wagon Fulla Pancakes. The "Talkin' Strong Bad" logo comes up from bottom right and grows, rising to the top right.

ANNOUNCER: Er, sorry. Talkin' Strong Bad is a posable plush doll that says fifteen different phrases—
PUPPET STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Uh, let's say "upwards of fourteen phrases" instead. It sounds more impressive.
ANNOUNCER: Eh... 'kay. {the text drops off the screen and reappears as it is spoken} Poseable plush doll that says upwards of 14 phrases {the "15" is crossed out and replaced with "Upwards of 14"} when you press the blue diamond kinda thing on his forehead.

Can you make me one?
Your friend,
Joe/Jake
