Transcript

{Nebulon, Charles, and Bruno are sitting at the Neby.}

BRUNO: So Nebs, what are you gonna do today?

NEBULON: Whatever I wa--

CHARLES: Outdated movie reference detected.

BRUNO: You're no fun, Char, you know?

NEBULON: That sounds like a nickname for a monster. Such as one you'd put in your pocket.

CHARLES: Please give me any nickname you with. May I suggest Matilda? Or "Tilly"?

BRUNO: I only like one syllable names, Matty!

NEBULON: {rapping} Charles doesn't like his given name, and Nebulon likes this email the same!

CHARLES: {as Nebulon starts to read} Terrible.

Nebulon!
How did you and Liekand meet?
Were you childhood friends?
Were you arch-rivals?
WHAT IS THE SCOOP?
Sincerely,
J.B. DouglasMcKenzieburg

NEBULON: The Liekand? Why does no one send me emails about myself? I get emails about my non existant son, about Ekersby, about the Liekand, but none about me?

CHARLES: Dear Nebulon, what is the deal with your style? Sincerely the internet.

NEBULON: Hey, people should want to know all kinds of things about me. "Where did you get that fashionable haircut, Nebulon?", "What is your favorite number, Nebulon?", "Nebulon, here is an e-vite to my cool party--"

BRUNO: I'll send you an email!

NEBULON: Aw, that's so nice of you. So you want to here about the Liekand, Jellybean Douglas? Wel, Jelly, it all started like this:

{A thought bubble appears.}

NEBULON: Time to open up my evil email show, like all my evil comrades.

THE LEIKAND: Yes! We will truly dominate by terrifing the world!

AN ICE MACHINE: And they'll be frozen with fear! Like me, but with the fear part.

{The thought bubble disappears.}

CHARLES: That was The Leikand. Whoever that is.

NEBULON: Oh. Right then. The Liekand was my high school nemesis!

BRUNO: You went to school, Nebs?

NEBULON: Oh yeah. How else do you think I know so much? I ran the Pyromaniacs Club!

CHARLES: Someone gave you fire? Willingly?

NEBULON: Well, they called it the Firefighter's Club, but all we did was light stuff on fire. The Liekand ran the swim team, though, and he kept scheduling practices where we were meeting.

{Cut to a sepia toned version of Nebulon, who is sporting a mohawk. Behind him are Strong Bad and Marzipan as high school studens.}

STRONG BAD: When do we light stuff on fire? This club is the worst. I'd rather just go to Strong Sad's photography club, and all he does is sit in a dark room!

MARZIPAN: Strong Bad, we're supposed to be putting out fires!

STRONG BAD: {sarcastically} Oh, Marzipan, that sounds like a great idea if weren't at a FREAKIN' POOL!

{Pan out to reveal the pool, which a younger looking Liekand is leading.}

NEBULON: When do we get the pool?

THE LIEKAND: What's that, Dweebulon? You want to be cool about fire safety?

NEBULON: No, I just want to light stuff on fire.

THE LIKEAND: Sure, Nebudork! You can have the pool, but I get the girl!

NEBULON: Uh, no, I'll just have to light stuff on fire outside at the blacktop. When did our school get a pool, anyway?

STRONG BAD: Yeah, Nebnerdulon!

THE LIEKAND: You got it, kid! Want to join the swim team?

MARZIPAN: Ooh, I like to swim!

STRONG BAD: Aw, she's gonna be in it? It's better than being with Geekface over here!

{The thought bubble disappears.}

NEBULON: ...and so, for disbanding the swim team, The Liekand and I have been at odds.

BRUNO: Yeah, but he was just here answering emails a few days ago.

NEBULON: Sometimes we're at evens. But you can feel that aminosity seeping through! Ekersby told me that.

CHARLES: Perhaps you should face your tensions and make amends. And how does that make you feel?

NEBULON: It makes me feel like you should stop seeing Ekersby. But it isn't a bad idea! Maybe I will go confront that whirlwind of emotion!

{Cut to the sun base.}

NEBULON: See, we need some quality bonding vacation trips like this!

CHARLES: Why didn't you just take Bruno?

NEBULON: I took Bruno to a rock concert where he got the autograph of the best band in the world! Now you should see some of the world.

CHARLES: It's better than that time you forced me to take a vaction to your basement, I guess.

NEBULON: My basement has many exciting and interesting activities, and it's a shame that you spent the entire time sulking instead of taking advantage of them.

{The Liekand opens the door.}

NEBULON: Hey Liekand! This is my best buddy Charles. He is my friend.

THE LIEKAND: {happily} I know you don't have any friends, Nebulon! Well, come in.

{They enter the house.}

THE LIEKAND: I gotta say, this was a pretty good base you sold me.

CHARLES: Your five pennies were put to good use.

NEBULON: We didn't come to talk real estate, we came to make amends!

THE LIEKAND: Amends? What are you talking about, Nebugeek?

NEBULON: See, that's what I'm talking about! You have no respect for me! But I'd like to tell you I forgive you.

THE LIEKAND: Wow, that's great, Dorkulon.

NEBULON: I thought you grew out of your giving people nicknames phase.

THE LIEKAND: I got nostalgic looking through my high school yearbook. Want to see?

NEBULON: No thanks. See, I thought it would be kinda cool if you made some sort of apology or something.

THE LIEKAND: Nah, publicly humiliating you was pretty fun actually.

CHARLES: Would you like to do it again?

THE LIEKAND: You know what, I should. But I should wait for a bigger audience. I'll be back, though!

NEBULON: So no amends for me? Not even a little one?

THE LIEKAND: I shouldn't have taken Marzipan. She was a pretty bad swimmer. So was Strong Bad, but at least he got to make fun of Marzipan.

NEBULON: Well, I guess I'll be leaving you.

THE LIEKAND: Sure. See you around. Don't be a stranger. Remember what I said!

{He raises his sunglasses. Cut back to the Neby, with Bruno sitting there.}

BRUNO: I want to try answering one of these emails. Let's see: {poor imitation of Nebulon's voice} Why yes, my very good sir, the Liekand is my favorite guy ever. Bruno rocks too, he is probably my favorite person. Well, until next time, I really am Nebulon and you are really getting a response from him!

{The Paper falls, saying "Email Nebulon at nebymail@nebulon.com!"}

Easter Eggs

• Click on "Liekand" to see:

{Strong Bad is sitting on a lifeguard's chair.}

STRONG BAD: What kind of breaststroke is that? You look like some kind of, I don't know, seizing snake type thing. And I'm pretty sure the dictionary definition of "backstroke" doesn't involve moving slower than a piece of crap!

• Click on Charles when he mentions the five pennies to see the five gumballs Nebulon purchased.

Fun Facts

• Bruno's opening line and Nebulon's response are references to the film Napoleon Dynamite.
• The next part is a sort of vague reference to the Pokemon Charmander.
• The three lines Nebulon thinks of with "The Leikand" are the first three lines of the first Nebulon email, style.
• The Liekand obtained the sun base in real estate. He paid five pennies for it.
• The "rock concert" is a reference to the events in comic.
