Transcript

{Cut to some stairs in Trevor's house. Tampo is floating down them. He enters the living room, also known as Trevor's computer room, where the other two bosses are hanging out with Trevor and Booty. Outside a window, the sun is just starting to rise.}

BRODY: Here comes Tampo.

TAMPO: Hi, guys. What's up?

BRODY: Nothing much...

TREVOR: Yeah, nothing's realy happening. But Tampo, we gotta talk about something. I like you and all, and I know you're all alternate versions of me-

STLUNKO: Only Tampo is.

TREVOR: Quiet, I'm talking. Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes. I like you guys, you've been fun. And definitely unique. But seriously, it's been a week since you came. You can't live in my house forever.

TAMPO: I know, I know. My minions are-

TREVOR: I don't care about your minions. They're obviously not doing anything. Stop waiting for something that's not going to happen and start trying to solve the problem yourselves.

TAMPO: But-

STLUNKO: Trevor, how do you suggest we get back to our universe? Do you happen to have multiversal transports on you?

TREVOR: No, I don't know how you're going to get back to your homes. You might not ever return. You need to stop waiting and... I dunno... at least try to live your lives here. Y'know, get a job, a house, a living...

BRODY: I don't think I'm ready to accept the fact of staying here for the rest of my life...

TREVOR: Listen, all I'm trying to say is I can't support you guys forever. I'm sorry, and I'll give these minions one more week to solve this dilemma, but after that, you guys are on your own.

TAMPO: Um... alright. One more week.

BRODY: This stinks.

TREVOR: Oh, aren't you the grateful one. Whatever, I'm- I'm just gonna go... check an email or something.

{Trevor goes to his computer. Booty closely follows and jumps on Trevor's lap after he sits down. The camera zooms in to just show the computer screen and Trevor's head. The Stunky '04 quickly turns on and Trevor clicks on a button, displaying a pop-up with an email on it. Trevor reads the email outloud.}

Dear Braniac,
DaAaAaAa! I lost my marbles!
Can you find the green one?
Homsar

{Trevor pronounces "Braniac" as "Bran-iac" and prounces "DaAaAaAa!" as "Daaaaaah!" with the "ah" sound rising and lowering in pitch.}

TREVOR: So you lost your marbles, eh Homsar?

TAMPO: {offscreen, whispering} ...Homsar, the great warrior.

BRODY: {offscreen, whispering} Yep...

TREVOR: Huh? {looks back, camera pans out to show Tampo, Brody and Stlunko watching} Oh. What about Homsar?

TAMPO: What? Nothing, nothing...

STLUNKO: He is a powerful warrior. He defeated us once in fierce combat.

TREVOR: What? {laughs, gets up from chair}

{As Trevor stands up, Booty flutters off and perches onto the computer desk.}

TREVOR: {stops laughing} I don't know what Homsar's like in your universe. But here, he's anything but a powerful warrior.

TAMPO: Oh. Are you still going to answer his email? And find his marbles?

TREVOR: Yep. My policy is that as long as your email isn't pro-Strong Bad, it'll be answered.

BRODY: Alright, so... green marble finding time?

TREVOR: I guess. Wait a second... a green marble... that's it! Booty, go get that man-egg you laid.

BOOTY: {clucks, jumps up and runs away flapping}

BRODY: {confused} Man-egg?

TREVOR: Oh, one day Booty woke up to find himself sleeping on a green, round, weird-looking egg. Booty thought he laid a man-egg. Yeah...

BRODY: And you believed him?

TAMPO: Man-egg. That's dumb.

TREVOR: {waves it off} Of course I didn't believe him.

BRODY: {rolls eyes} ...riiiiight.

{Booty reenters, holding a green, swirly marble in his beak. He jumps, flaps and reaches the desk. He releases the marble and it clunks onto the wooden desk. Trevor grabs at it and looks at it closely. The three bosses are looking at it closely too. Its interior is actually swirling green colors.}

TREVOR: Just as I thought. Booty, this isn't a man-egg. This is just a green marble. And probably Homsar's. We should return it to him.

STLUNKO: Wait a second.

{Stlunko snatches the marble out of Trevor's hand and closely examines it.}

STLUNKO: This is not an ordinary marble.

BRODY: {sarcastic} How'd you figure that out? The magic swirliness?

STLUNKO: Do you guys know what this means?

TAMPO: Um... not really.

BRODY: {simutaniously} Nope.

TREVOR: {simutaniously} A magic marble?

STLUNKO: This is actually an elemental sphere.

BRODY: Elemental sphere?

STLUNKO: It could be our ticket home.

TAMPO: {excited} Really? How so?

STLUNKO: The sphere itself cannot get us home. It is one of the four elemental spheres that the universe headmaster is supposed to safeguard. The "earth" elemental sphere, to be exact.

BRODY: Universe headmaster?

TAMPO: Alright, Stlunko. Explanation time.

STLUNKO: Okay. Every universe has a headmaster. They are trustworthy and usually picked by the IOSDM and placed into the universe that they are to protect. They live their lives in the universe, usually keeping their identities secret, and protect the universe if something drastic ever happens.

TREVOR: {whispering to Tampo} How does he know this stuff?

TAMPO: {whispering back} I have no idea.

BRODY: {whispering} Maybe he's our universe's headmaster.

STLUNKO: I can assure you, I am not a universe headmaster. Now allow me to continue. In order for the headmaster to control and protect his universe, he needs to control the essenses of four elemental spheres: earth, water, air and fire. With these, he can effectively bend reality to have fix it if it starts breaking or something.

BRODY: So where was our headmaster guy when that virus attacked?

STLUNKO: I am sure our universe headmaster was monitoring the situation.

BRODY: Then why didn't he do anything?

STLUNKO: Everything turned out okay. I am sure he helped secretly to aid Trevor's attack on the virus.

TREVOR: What?

TAMPO: Don't worry about it. A different Trevor.

TREVOR: Okay... Well, if this is elemental sphere, why isn't the headmaster guarding it?

STLUNKO: Something bad must have happened to the universal leader, causing him to lose this sphere.

BRODY: Like what? What could knock out a universal leader person?

TREVOR: You guys need to hurry this along, or else this'll be nothing more than a boring explanation email with hardly a plot.

{There's a pause, then Tampo blinks confused.}

STLUNKO: Yes, alright, I will finish this quickly. Without all four elemental spheres, the headmaster will not be able to control his universe. Instead, he will only be able to minutely control elements of the spheres he still controls on a short-range basis.

BOOTY: {clucks excitedly}

TREVOR: Booty's says that we've-

TAMPO: You can understand Booty?

TREVOR: Yeah, well, um... you can understand Brody.

BRODY: I speak English.

TREVOR: Well... forget about it. Anyway, we've had this marble for a long time. Wouldn't the headmaster have come searching for it?

STLUNKO: That troubles me. He should have. Something bad may have happened to him.

TAMPO: So where do we find him?

TREVOR: Who, Homsar? I know where he is.

BRODY: Are you sure Homsar's the headmaster? I mean, all he did was ask for a marble.

TREVOR: I doubt he is.

STLUNKO: Only one way to find out.

TAMPO: Let's go.

{The five begin to leave the room, but Trevor grabs Booty and puts him down on the desk.}

TREVOR: No, Booty. You stay here and guard the house.

BOOTY: {clucks}

{Trevor turns around leaves with the others. Tampo rolls his eyes at Trevor. The screen fades to a field with Homsar in the middle. A butterfly flies by, and Homsar stares at it and it passes the screen. After its gone, Trevor enters the scene}

TREVOR: Here he is. Just where I said he was.

{The three shrunken bosses enter the scene. Homsar stares at them blankly.}

TAMPO: How'd you know he'd be here?

TREVOR: Oh, he's always here on Sundays.

TAMPO: Oh.

BRODY: So... Homsar, are you, um, the headmaster?

HOMSAR: I'm a fiery shish-kabob contraption of the ranks!

TAMPO: Uh... Homsar? Trevor, is he broken?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaAaAaAaAand then comes the mixing spoon! {when he says "spoon," he blows out bubbles from his mouth}

TREVOR: No, he's always like that.

BRODY: So... he's not the headmaster?

TREVOR: I guess not.

TAMPO: Then... I guess we're back at sqaure one, huh?

STLUNKO: No, look.

{Stlunko puts one of his closed hands in front of everyone and opens it. In it in the green elemental sphere. It is glowing green light and its inside material is swirling very rapidly.}

STLUNKO: The "earth" essence inside of it is spinning rapidly, meaning it is close to another elemental sphere. It is glowing radiantly, meaning it is close to the universal headmaster.

HOMSAR: The tappin' and rappin' is sure to be goooood.

BRODY: Trevor, I feel sorry for your universe.

TREVOR: What happened to him?

STLUNKO: I do not know. Probably the same accident that caused him to lose his elemental spheres.

{Cut to another field. Homsar is standing alone in the middle of the field, wearing dark shades over his eyes. Suddenly, Imitation Strong Bad's enters from the front, with only the back of his head visible.}

IMITATION SB: {with Australian accent} Hey! Homsar!

HOMSAR: {in a cool "gangsta" voice} Hey, man. How's it-

{The Heavy Lourde falls down from the sky and crushes Homsar. Four marbles - green, blue, red and yellow - fly out as Homsar is crushed.}

IMITATION SB: Oh yeah. Wait a minute - wasn't Homeschool here?

{Homeschool Winner's head slowly peers out from behind the Heavy Lourde. Cut back to the field with Homsar and the gang.}

TAMPO: So how's the headmaster going to help us if he has some sort of brain damage?

STLUNKO: If we can reunite all the elemental spheres, it should give the headmaster enough power to temporarily reawaken. During this brief time period he could fix his brain damage and give us a reward in return.

BRODY: Are you sure he'll give us a reward?

STLUNKO: I am not positive, but it is our best shot. {to Homsar} So Homsar, here is your green marble. Do you possess any more of these? {holds the green "marble" up to Homsar's face}

HOMSAR: Crack an egg on my leg! Pshooooo... {spits out a blue elemental sphere, which Stlunko picks up off the ground}

TREVOR: That's gross.

STLUNKO: The "water" elemental sphere. So this is only one you have got?

HOMSAR: Wehhhlll... I do what the flounders do.

BRODY: Is that a yes?

TAMPO: So how do we find the rest?

STLUNKO: There are two more left: the red "fire" sphere and yellow "air" sphere. If we get them, we can reawaken the headmaster.

TAMPO: Yeah, but how do we locate them?

STLUNKO: These elemental spheres that we possess can act like radar. We will search while holding these, and when we get close to a lost elemental sphere, the essence inside will swirl faster. The closer we get, the faster it will swirl.

TREVOR: Oh, so it'll be like the colder/warmer game?

STLUNKO: Yes. Brody, Tampo, you two take the "earth" sphere and search towards the East. {hands the green "marble" to Brody, who catches and carries it in his mouth} Me and Trevor will take the "water" sphere and search the West area.

TAMPO: Okay. And we'll meet here once we find them. Let's go.

{The two groups split up. Tampo and Brody walk to the right while the others walk to the left. Homsar stays put, and once everyone else is gone he blinks twice.}

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaAaAaA!

{Homsar stops screaming and the screen fades to a different field where Brody and Tampo are scanning the area. Tampo is closely watching the sphere held in Brody's mouth as they go. It is swirly rapidly, but not glowing.}

TAMPO: Stop!

{They both stop walking/floating.}

BRODY: {drops "marble" onto the ground} Alright, there should be a marble nearby. So... {looks around} where is it?

TAMPO: Hmmm... {scans the area, then stares at the ground underneath the marble} Underground! Start digging.

BRODY: Me? I just carried the marble in my mouth! And it does not taste good. You do it.

TAMPO: I don't have arms.

BRODY: Oh. Whatever. You owe me, though.

{Brody digs into the ground with his beak. After his head completely disappears into the ground, Tampo looks at the "marble" and speaks.}

TAMPO: Wait!

BRODY: {pulls head out of the ground} What is it?

TAMPO: Look at our sphere. The underground one is moving!

BRODY: But... how?

TAMPO: I don't know... we need to dig faster.

BRODY: I was digging as fast as I could.

TAMPO: Well, um... this is an "earth" sphere we got, right? Maybe we can utilize it or something, like Stlunko said earlier.

BRODY: How?

TAMPO: Oh, I dunno. Focus on it or the ground or something.

BRODY: Hmmm... {stares at the green, swirling sphere}

{The sphere starts to glow slightly as Brody focuses on it. Suddening there is a "swoooosh" sound and dirt and grass spews into the air, sending Tampo, Brody and the "marble" flying. When everything settles, Tampo, Brody and the "marble" are laying on the ground next to a large hole. A gopher wearing small, circular shades climbs out from the hole.}

TAMPO: {recovers} Well Brody, you did it alright. {notices gopher} Hey, look!

BRODY: {recovers} Huh? {sees gopher} What is that? {to gopher} Who are you?

GOPHER: {in a quick voice} My name is Goldy-Goldilon-Golderson-thethird and whatwhatwhat are you guys doing messing up my tunnels?

TAMPO: Oh, sorry about that. {notices a yellow elemental sphere in the gopher's paw} Hey, is that the "air" marble? We need that!

GOPHER: Oh this coolawesomelittle thing? I found it lying on the ground a few weeks ago or somethingsomethingclose to that. It's totally coolandawexome.

BRODY: Eh, can we have it?

GOPHER: Maybe, but it gives me all these cool wind powers so it won'tbecheapbutexpensive, yes, expensive.

{The gopher focuses briefly on the sphere and suddenly a small tornado forms around the gopher. It sports his black, circular shades.}

BRODY: {sarcastic} Great. Liekand reborn.

{Cut to the outside of a house. Stlunko and Trevor enter the scene. Stlunko is focusing on the swirling blue sphere.}

STLUNKO: It appears as if an elemental sphere is in this house.

TREVOR: The Strong's house? That's just great. {sighs} Here we go.

{Cut to the Da Basement. Strong Mad is standing in the middle of the room, holding none other than the red elemental sphere. The Cheat and Imitation Strong Bad are sitting on the nearby couch. Everything looks normal, except the couch patch is non-existant. The TV is on, but the sound is off.}

STRONG MAD: {to red "marble"} I LOVE YOU REDDY BALLY!!! WE ARE BEST FRIENDS!!!

IMITATION SB: Yes, Strong Mad. Can you put that stupid marble down now? You've been playing with it continuously ever since you found it lying around Strongbadia.

STRONG MAD: NOOOOOO!!!

{Suddenly Stlunko and Trevor enter from the left.}

IMITATION SB: Hey, what are you freaks doing in here?

TREVOR: I don't wanna fight you or anything. We just need a certain red marble- there it is!

STRONG MAD: YOU NO GET REDDY BALLY!!!

IMITATION SB: No way are you guys going to take our stuff.

STLUNKO: Please? We need it. It is the "fire" element-

STRONG MAD: NEVER!!! {stuffs the "marble" into his mouth}

IMITATION SB: Uh... Strong Mad, I don't think you should have eaten that.

TREVOR: That was unexpected.

{Suddenly Strong Mad grasps his neck, choking.}

IMITATION SB: Strong Mad, you okay?

{Strong Mad wheezes and fire rushes out of his mouth. The Cheat and Strong Bad jump off the couch in surprise, and a bit of the flame reaches The Cheat, setting his tuft of hair on fire. In panic, The Cheat runs back and forth screaming in backwards Cheatese. Strong Mad is still choking, and Imitation SB is in utter panic.}

STRONG BAD: Help! Somebody help!

STLUNKO: I guess I should utilize the "water" elemental sphere.

TREVOR: And I suppose I should use some CPR I learned...

{Stlunko focuses on the "water" elemental sphere in his palm. Suddenly a crack in the wall forms and a water pipe breaks out, squirting water all over the panicking The Cheat. The Cheat, singed and panic-striken, runs to Imitation Strong Bad and grasps him in terror, screaming. Meanwhile, Trevor grasps around Strong Mad and adds pressure to his chest. This causes Strong Mad to cough and spit out the "fire" elemental sphere, which Stlunko catches with his free hand. Soon everybody but The Cheat has calmed down. Strong Mad is gasping for air.}

IMITATION SB: Well, uh, I think you guys better leave. You can take your stupid marble with you.

TREVOR: Okay. Man, that was crazy.

{Stlunko and Trevor leave to the left as the screen fades back to Homsar in the field. The four friends reenter the scene from where they had left. Stlunko is holding both the blue and red "marbles," which both are covered slightly in spit. Brody is holding both the green and yellow "marbles" in his mouth, and he drops them as soon as he reaches Homsar. All the marbles are glowing and swirling rapidly.}

TAMPO: Well, we got the "air" marble. And it wasn't cheap.

BRODY: It cost us several of Tampo's flashy laserballs and some of my best feathers! {turns around to reveal a large bandage on his side, then returns to his normal position}

TREVOR: Ours wasn't exactly easy to obtain either.

STLUNKO: We need to give them to Homsar here.

TAMPO: Alright. {to Homsar} Here, Homsar, we got you your elemental spheres back.

{Stlunko drops his spheres next to Homsar and Brody lightly kicks his two spheres next to Homsar. The spheres fly up and spin around Homsar, creating a rainbow glow around him. As the foursome watch, the glow fades to reveal Homsar with his shades and cool voice. The elemental spheres are no longer visible.}

HOMSAR: Yes! I can think clearly again!

BRODY: Finally!

STLUNKO: Congratulations.

HOMSAR: Hey, are you the guys who regathered my elemental spheres?

TAMPO: Yep.

BRODY: {simutaniously} You bet.

HOMSAR: Thank you so much. It's great being in control again. How can I ever repay you?

STLUNKO: Actually, we need a favor to ask of you.

HOMSAR: A reward? No problem. Anything in my power, just ask.

TAMPO: We want to go back to our universe.

STLUNKO: Let me handle this, Tampo. Headmaster of this universe, we humbly ask to be taken back to the experiment room of our lunar warehouse located in the J05H-ooa universe in the year August 2nd, 20X6. We also wish to be returned back to our original sizes. Trevor needs to stay here and not be resized.

BRODY: And I wish I had my best feathers back!

HOMSAR: That'll be easy. Prepare to be transported.

TAMPO: Bye, Trevor. See ya later.

TREVOR: So long, guys. It's been fun.

{Suddenly there is a flash and the boss trio is gone.}

TREVOR: Alright, I guess I'll be going home now. What'll you be doing Homsar, now that you have your sanity back?

HOMSAR: Eh, I'll probably go incognito. So... {in his old voice} DaAaAaAaAaAaA! It's a twist on the old mayhem of yesterweek!

{There's a brief pause, and then we fade back to the Stunky '04. On it is a black and gray version of the "Click here to email Tampo" pop-up.}

Easter Eggs

Click on the visible part of the Stunky's antenna to see an addition scene with Trevor and Homsar.

{Trevor and Homsar are in the middle of the field. Homsar has his cool shades.}

TREVOR: Hey Homsar, I'm curious about something. How'd you type that email we got if you were still... well, insane?

HOMSAR: {cool voice} Well, I did it with this amazing program Bubs sold me called jibberish-to-word.exe.

{Suddenly the screen darkens and a bright CD-ROM spins into the middle of the screen. It is really close-up, almost filling the entire scene. On it's top half is the text "jibberish-to-word.exe" written in red ink.}

ANNOUNCER: That's right! Jibberish-to-word.exe is the e-x-e for every family! It takes all your random gibberish and magically transforms it into the words you love! Homsar tested, Homestar approved. Buy it now! {whispers} Only $49.99.

Fun Facts

To understand what the boss trio is during in Trevor's house, you'll need to read the previous email "experiment."
Tampo calling Homsar a great warrior refers to how he was defeated by him in "conquest" and afterwards considered him a great warrior.
"Man-eggs" are a gag from the 60th Fairly OddParents episode "Talkin' Trash."
The virus attack Brody mentions and Trevor rescuing them from it are from the Tampo Email "virus."
Most of Homsar's quotes are from or are based on different quotes from Other Character Email Homsar.
- His first line is from the email rap of his email "World Conquest."
- His second line here is his fifth line from his email "Logical Question."
- His third line is based off of part of his reply to the email he answers in "Breakdancing."
- The main part of his fourth line here is also the main part of his fourth line in his email "Doctor."
- Homsar's last quote is his email rap in the email "Gibberish."
The scene with Homsar and Imitation SB is taken from the I-SBEmail "homeschool," except Homsar and Homeschool's roles have been switched.
The gopher, his personality and actions are a play on the Tampo Email character Liekand and his behaviour, as shown in the Tampo Email "tornado guy."
The "jibberish-to-word.exe" program and it being bought from Bubs was taken from Entry 1 of Homsar's Blog.
The date Stlunko asks to be taken back to will cause them to have only been missing for one day.
