Transcript
{Cut open to 1-Up and Homestar Runner talking in the field. The sky in the background turns red}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yes. Dark Death is about to take over the universe successfully.
1-UP: My universe will be erased from the timeline? Oh no! Marzichan, Stinkoman, the Chibilichi! I must help them by stopping thi-
{30X2 Pan Pan appears with Marzichan, the Chibilichi and Stinkoman in a bright white flash}
1-UP: Pan Pan?
30X2 PAN PAN: Yes! I came back and saved these guys! No thanks to you!
1-UP: Sorry about that, but what about the bright side? At least I found the source.
30X2 PAN PAN: Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are about to succeed in stopping Dark Death! Master X and his goons are not the cause' of the alternate universe.
1-UP: No? Then what is the cause of the apocalyptic world?
30X2 PAN PAN: You are!
1-UP: What?! How could I possibly be the cause' of the apocalypse?!
MARZICHAN: Pan Pan told us the whole thing. You are the signal that Pan Pan's Pan Pilot detected that went back in time and caused Homestar Runner and Strong Bad to be blinded by the flash of you going back in time in the first place. Then perhaps Homestar would succeed in defeating Beta and Alpha.
STINKOMAN: What were you thinking 1-Up?!
1-UP: Gee. I'm sorry. I was just having fun.
30X2 PAN PAN: And that "fun" is what caused Beta and Alpha to succeed in killing Master X and erasing the timeline. Due to the fact that Marzichan, Stinkoman and the Chibi would erase with the timeline, I had to save them.
{The camera zooms in on Stinkoman as he waves his fist in the air}
STINKOMAN: So, what now? Do we ask this alternate timeline for a challenge or do we stop 1-Up from attempting to "help" Strong Bad and fail misserably.
{The camera zooms out and 1-Up appears to be gone}
30X2 PAN PAN: Where'd he go?
{Fade to black. Cut to Alpha, Beta and Dark Death inside the black tower. Strong Bad walks in and punches Dark Death to the ground}
ALPHA: What the?! Strong Bad?! You've come here too early in the timeline!
BETA: Something must be-
{An alarm beeps in the background and Beta turns to a holigraphic screen with a picture of Stinkoman, Marzichan, the Chibi and 30X2 Pan Pan}
BETA: What?! Stinkoman has followed us here! How will we ever become the guys now?!
ALPHA: Stinkoman is the least of our problems. I no longer consider "the guy" a threat. Look at 1-Up! He is approaching the black tower at a quicker speed then Stinkoman!
BETA: Impossible. No robot can run any quicker then a human can. According to the screen, 1-Up is moving at the speed of a missile}
DARK DEATH: {gets up} Strong Bad! What is your problem?!
STRONG BAD: I must do this for the good of- {looks at watch on wrist} Holy crap! Caleb is almost on! I got to get home!
{Strong Bad runs offscreen as Beta turns away from the screen and looks at Alpha}
ALPHA: Beta, you look worried. What is it?
BETA: 1-Up is sitting on a missile heading towards us at 20,000 miles per hour.
ALPHA: How'd he get the missile?! Where'd it come from?! Why is he sitting on it?!
BETA: One, 1-Up possibly got his shirt caught on the missile by mistake. Or two, he might be riding the missile out of stupidity.
{Cut to 1-Up, sitting on a white missile, flying across a zooming background with a happy face}
1-UP: Whee! Missile riding! The way of tommorow!
{1-Up jumps off the missile, just as it hits the black tower and explodes. There is a hjuge flash}
1-UP: Woah! I think that I took down the shield and broke open the door!
{Strong Bad runs out of the black tower and then runs offscreen with a piece of paper in his hand}
1-UP: Bye, Strong Bad.
{1-Up walks into the black building. Just before the screen fades to black, we can see 30X2 Pan Pan and Marzichan walking on screen with the Chibilichi and Stinkoman following behind them. Cut to 1-Up inside a lab which looks old and broken due to the missiles effects. We see one of those 40X6 reality-changing remotes on the ground except it's broken}
1-UP: Oh no. This remote is broken. Now I can't make pudding appear from thin air.
{30X2 Pan Pan, Stinkoman, the Chibilichi and Marzichan walk onscreen}
30X2 PAN PAN: 1-Up. You might think that doing this will make the timeline better, but everything you are doing leads up to the destruction of the universe.
1-UP: What do you mean?
30X2 PAN PAN: By destroying this place, you have destroyed a historic land-mark which will end up inspiring Dark Death to open up the time portal which led to 40X6, in which Master X used.
1-UP: But, if Project X never became Master X, that could only mean that he'd never meet my future self in order to send me to the apocalyptic world in 20X6 so I couldn't change time anyway.
30X2 PAN PAN: Exactly! You are the person that caused the apocalypse!
1-UP: Woah. This is heavy!
MARZICHAN: There is no time for this now! Quickly, we must return to 20X6!
1-UP: But, that's where the apocalypse is happening. The end of the universe.
30X2 PAN PAN: The timeline might get more destroyed if you don't check your emails.
1-UP: Hey, good idea.
{1-Up walks offscreen. 30X2 Pan Pan smiles}
MARZICHAN: Great lie, man! We got rid of 1-Up!
30X2 PAN PAN: Yeah. I know. {short pause, frowns} Umm, what now?
{Cut 1-Up bashing his head against the door of Homestar Runner's house}
1-UP: Let me in! {stops bashing head}
{Homestar Runner opens up the door. To 1-Up's surprise, Homestar Runner is now wearing a red shirt with a star on it}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Are you here to congratulate me? I just got a job as an athlete at Coach Z's sport place.
1-UP: Oh, hello. We've met previously. You might know me better as the "futuristic robot" or maybe even- {gasps}
{The camera zooms in on Homestar Runner who is holding a bowel of pudding in his invisible hands}
1-UP: Is that pudding? Pudding, pudding?!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Err, yes. Would you like some?
1-UP: Yeah! {short pause} But first, can I borrow your computer?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Sure, stranger. It's inside my computer room.
1-UP: {sarcasticly} Gee. Computer in computer room? I never would've guessed.
{1-Up starts to mumble under his voice so the viewers can't see, then walks into the house, pushing Homestar on his way in. Homestar Runnergets angry and then walks inside as well, closing the door behind him. Cut to 1-Up sitting on Homestar's computer stool sitting next to a computer with no name. Homestar Runner watches as 1-Up starts checking his emails}
1-UP: Don't the viewer still find it weird that it doesn't matter what universe or period of time I go to, my email client still works.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
{The following email pops up}
Is shoe? -Naggy McNag
{1-Up reads the email and then sighs before starting to write a reply}
1-UP: {typing} Shoes? Is that all you noobs {spells "noobs" as "newbs"} can come up with?
{1-Up clears the screen in order to write a reply}
1-UP: {typing} So, enough of that. Let me just fix this email up a little bit.
{1-Up closes his eyes and starts to glow a green-ish colour. Cut to 1-Up in a matrix-type background standing next to some holigraphic writing which appears to be the email 1-Up was replying to before. But it changes and 1-Up reads the new email}
1-UP: {reading holigraphic words} Dear 1-Up, why not get some new shoes? I think it's kind of stupid how you walk around in white robotic shoes. Is it really a shoe?
{Cut back to 1-Up sitting on the stool as he opens his eyes and turns back to normal}
1-UP: I'm glad that Homestar programmed me with an email translator. {typing} So you want me to get new shoes, eh? Let's head on over to the cricket game and find out.
{The camera zooms out. Homestar walks across the screen and stops in the middle and then looks at 1-Up. Homestar is not wearing a hat}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Futuristic ro-butt? Where my hat is at?
1-UP: Wow. That isn't very good spelling. According to a book I read a long time ago, I think you lost your hat. It's in between the something and something. Err, it's somewhere in the kitchen with the "what-do-you-call-it?".
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I have no time for this! I have a cricket game to get to!
{Homestar Runner runs into the kitchen}
1-UP: I think I need some new shoes anyway. But seeing as I'm stuck in the past, I'll have to get a down-grade instead of an upgrade for my shoe units. I might have to go to Bubses' place.
{Homestar Runner runs out of the kitchen and out the door, with his cap on and a beer in his invisible hands}
1-UP: Well I better go look for Bubs. He probably won't be back to his conseccion stand for a while though.
{1-Up walks offscreen. Cut to 1-Up at Bubs' conseccion stand, but Bubs is not there}
1-UP: Hey, can I have some milk- Umm, eggs? Eggs, eggs, eggs! {short pause} You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!
{1-Up looks around}
1-UP: Where is Bubusuke's creator? I've been waiting for hours.
{Fade to black. Cut to Coach Z and Bubs talking in the crowd at a soccer game}
COACH Z: I hope Homestar Runner makes it here before the game ends, or else he is off the team.
BUBS: {points towards the bottom of the screen} Look! There he is!
PEOPLE IN CROWD: HOORAY!
{Cut back to 1-Up at Bubs' consession stand. Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand as though walking up a staircase}
1-UP: So, then I said-
BUBS: Okay, futuristic robot. I'm back.
1-UP: WAGH! I diddn't do anything!
BUBS: Who were you just talkin' to?
1-UP: Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?
BUBS: Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?
{Camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}
1-UP: Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.
BUBS: Ro-butt, {Camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand} did you come up here for a reason?
1-UP: Um, freedom?
BUBS: What?
1-UP: Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A pair of shoes at a low price?!
BUBS: Well why didn't you say so? I sell shoes here. Let's head down to the Datum Center and see what we can find.
1-UP: Dat'um sounds good.
{Vertical scroll wipe to the garage which is currently housing several pairs of shoes with Bubs' face on them}
BUBS: Here are the shoes! Here are my latest ones!
{Bubs pulls a lever and the camera zooms out to view two curtains opening up in order to show robotic boots that look similar to 1-Up's but are now yellow and blue instead of blue and red}
1-UP: Bubs, are you trying to sell me some lemons? I like lemons!
BUBS: Futuristic robot, I'm not gonna lie to you.
BUBS: You're not gonna find a better deal.
1-UP: Sold! Sold! {deeper voice} Sold!
{Cut to the same place a few minutes later, but now 1-Up has the new robotic shoes on}
1-UP: Hooray! I have new shoes, and it's all thanks to that email I got earlier. Thank you, no-name.
{Short pause}
BUBS: Who are you talking to now?
1-UP: The viewers of my email show.
{The camera zooms in on 1-Up's new robotic boots}
1-UP: These look a lot like my old ones.
BUBS: Well, after carefully studying your old robotic shoes, I was able to make boots that looked exactly like your old ones, except for the fact that that these ones can fly!
{Zoom out again to view 1-Up and Bubs again}
1-UP: Well, that's it for me.
BUBS: Oh, do you want to be the first to try out my new time travelling device?
1-UP: What?! No! Can't you see there is lightning outside?
{Cut to the outside of Bubs' conseccion stand to view a clear sky with a bright sun. Then cut back to 1-Up and Bubs}
1-UP: Lightning and time machines don't mix! You should know that from watching Back to the Future!
BUBS: Yeah, sure. Whatever. {A light bulb appears above Bubs' head, thus showing he has an idea} That's it! Lightning!
{Bubs grabs the light bulb above his head and eats it}
1-UP: This past-time is getting wierder and wierder.
{Bubs grabs a bucket of water from the right side of the screen and throws the bucket on the toaster, so that the toaster falls on a tiny DVD box. The DVD box gets electricuted making it dissapear in a flash, taking 1-Up with it}
BUBS: Woah. My time machine actually works. I just attached a bolt to a flux capacitor and put it into my Deep Impact DVD box.
{The holigraphic paper comes down}
Easter Eggs
- Clicking on Bubs' face will make a pop-up appear, advertising the "Deep Impact DVD box time machine".
