Transcript
{Gunhaver is sitting in a chair in front of his Orange 02. He types run "gunhaver_email" while singing something.}
GUNHAVER: Oh it is time for the email! And I hope that I get more than two slices of pie!
{The following email pops up on the computer as Gunhaver reads it.}
Dear Gunhaver,
Do you read any books?
From,
Gunhaver (typing and saying what he's typing): Oh! It's my old friend From from the military, or the navy. Then you got kicked out and then became a zoologist for scorpions.
{Gunhaver clears the page.}
GUNHAVER: My good friend Dr. Scorpion, what the crap are you talking about? Only dorks, losers, and lesser wimps read books! Or at least a thousand books, that waste time. I only read books that are for intelligence and, things that were necessary, like the Cheat Commandos Handbook I accidentally threw away. But I may have read one or two novels. One of them is called "Harry Cheater".
{Cut to a book named "Harry Cheater and the Rock". The book opens to reveal a masked and boxing gloved wrestler, a gray person with elephant feet, a fat Cheat, and a smaller Cheat with circular glasses.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} This book is about a Cheat named Harry, who is an orphan and is raised by his {mumbles} quotation mark {stops mumbling} aunt and uncle {mumbles} end quotation mark.
{The book is flipped to the next page, which shows a person who looks like Strong Mad in front of Harry Cheater.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Then along came a man named Mad. He was really big and he kidnapped Harry and made him a Cheat Commando.
{The book is flipped to the next page, which shows Harry in front of a Cheat who looks similar to Blue Laser.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} The Cheat who killed Harry's parents is named Blue Laser, a.k.a. "You-Don't-Want-To-Know-Who". Harry faced Blue Laser and defeated him. The end.
{Cut back to the computer as Gunhaver continues typing.}
GUNHAVER: That's one book. The other book is named, uh, I think it was called "Laserbreaker."
{Cut to a book named "Laserbreaker". The book flips open to a page with a picture of a Cheat with brown hair.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} This book is about a Cheat named Alex Cheater, whose uncle, Whoever Cheater, died. Oh Whoever, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE??? By the way, that's what Alex said in the book.
{Cut back to the computer room, where Reynold is there by Gunhaver's chair.}
REYNOLD: No he didn't. You cried for Alex yourself. And I think that book is a waste of time. It isn't...
Gunhaver {interrupts}: Yeah, whatever, get lost, go date with your girlfriend, Edgar Allen Poe.
REYNOLD: I can't date him! Number one, he's dead. Number two, he's a man. Number three...
Gunhaver {gets off chair and interrupts}: Go take out the garbage!
REYNOLD: {leaves while mumbling}
{Cut back to the same page in Laserbreaker.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Where was I? Oh yes!
{The page is turned to reveal a new page, which has a picture of a Cheat who looks like Flashfight meeting with Alex.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Then a man named Flash Blunt made Alex a Cheat Commando field agent, or a spy. One who works alone, except when he works with Flash Blunt, which is all the time.
{The page is turned to reveal a new page, which has a picture of Alex kicking a Cheat who looks like Blue Laser.}
GUNHAVER: {voiceover} The villian is Blue Laser. Long story short, Alex wins.
{Cut back to the computer room.}
Gunhaver {typing}: So those are some of the books I've read. There may have been more. Actually, I think I'd want to read "Harry Cheater and the Prisoner of the Cardboard Box." But reading is a waste of time!
{The Paper comes down, saying: Click here to email Gunhaver at gunhaver@homestarrunner.com.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on From in the email to see a picture of a Cheat in military clothes and has scorpions crawling all over his body.
- Click on "Harry Cheater and the Prisoner of the Cardboard Box" to see a page in the book. The page has a picture of Harry looking at a feminine Cheat filled up with helium, that she's floating in the sky.
Fun Facts
- When Gunhaver was talking about From, he was talking about John Rider from the book "Scorpia" by Anthony Horowitz, except John Rider worked for the military and then Scorpia.
- "Harry Cheater" is based on "Harry Potter" by J.K Rowling.
- The helium-filled Cheat is Aunt Marge from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", which is what Harry Cheater and the Prisoner of the Cardboard Box" parodies.
- "Laserbreaker" parodies "Stormbreaker" by Anthony Horowitz.
- The line "One who works alone, except when he works with Flash Blunt, which is all the time." is based on the email dangeresque 3, where Strong Bad says "I work alone, except when I work with Renaldo, which is all the time". That is also said in the Dangeresque 2 Theme Song in Strong Bad Sings CD.
