Transcript

{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement}

STRONG BAD: Alright, look. You've already used my Compé and The Cheat's thing-a-ma-bobber, and we're kinda running out of options here. How long are you going to go on this computer vagabonded-ness?

ZAREL: Well I still have this old warranty thing that says I get a free Compy brand computer, but I'm saving it for later.

STRONG BAD: WHAT?! You mean you've had this thing the whole time?! But why save it for later?!

ZAREL: I'm saving it for a milestone number...like 25!

STRONG BAD: So we're gonna be at this for another one, huh? The warranty's probably expired; didn't you get that back in ought ten?

ZAREL: Nope, I've read it, and it lasts me until 2015!

STRONG BAD: Wait, you read it too?! Ugh...GRK...look, just...

{Cut to Strong Bad's Computer Room, the Block is set up there}

STRONG BAD: ...just take this old thing! I don't care, do whatever! Check email on it, eat it, just...Gaaaaaah! {runs out of the room}

ZAREL: Sheesh, why does he have to question my motives? {types "zarel_mail.exe"}

subj: superhero

wassup zarel,
have you ever been a superhero.
grant howard

ZAREL: {typing} Superhero, pytasz? Cóż, Grant... {stops} Wait a minute. {clears screen and continues} A superhero, you ask? Well, Grant, I can't say I've ever had a career as a superhero at all. I mean, there were some times when I've used my ability to fly to help others out. I guess that's pretty heroic, right? Like that one time-

{cut to The Field}

ZAREL: {voiceover} I saved Strong Bad from mass amounts of stupidity...

HOMESTAR: So I says to the guy, "Notta chance, duckm'n! That pork fried rice is mine for the salad eating contest-"

{Zarel swoops in and grabs Strong Bad}

HOMESTAR: Strong Bad? Ah! He's been kidnapped! You win this time, Duckm'n!

{Cut to The Stick}

ZAREL: {voiceover} Or that one time I saved Foxx from copious amounts of dull...

STRONG SAD: So I said to the guy, "That's no pluperfect tense, that's my imaginary dead wife!" {laughing softly} Ohohoho...

{Foxx groans, Zarel swoops in to grab him}

STRONG SAD: I almost had a real friend...

ZAREL: {voiceover} Or that one time I saved both Foxx and Strong Bad from a great amount of stank!

{Cut to the Whatsit Pile, Foxx and Strong Bad's legs protrude from the top of it, twitching}

ZAREL: {flies over it with a clothespin on each nostril} Forget that...

{Cut back to the Block}

ZAREL: {typing} Yeah, those are only a small example of my heroic herodom! In fact, there was also the one time that I flew so fast, I was able to pull off a spectacular Sonic Windboom!

{Zoom out to show Strong Bad again}

STRONG BAD: Wait wait wait, you never did any of that! Alright, maybe the whatsit even was true, I don't remember any sonic wind boom things.

ZAREL: That's because you weren't there to see it!

STRONG BAD: That's because I was probably tending to my castle of hot alien babes.

ZAREL: You don't have any babes...nor do you have a castle!

STRONG BAD: You dare question the Strong Bad?

ZAREL: I'll question whoever I please, buddy!

STRONG BAD: Oh, that's it! Bring it, Guile!

{the two get in a fight resulting in one of those cartoon punch clouds}

{The Paper comes down}

HOMESCHOOL WINNER: Do I really have to keep doing this-

STRONG BAD AND ZAREL: Shut up!

HOOFSTAR: Hey, Strong Buck, what's the haps?

STRONG BUCK: Ugh...get out of here, Hoofstar, I'm checking a-my mails.
