Transcript

{Strong Sad walks into the room and sits down at the computer}

STRONG SAD: Time to go back to the lame poetry slam, my fellow emo-dorks. {sighs, opens email}

Dear Strong sad
I don't want the world, I just want your half.
-Ana Ng

STRONG SAD: {reads email, starts typing} You want my world? Well, what you see here is it.

{Shot of Strong Sad's room. Silence. His Cure poster falls down.}

STRONG SAD: {typing} But my inner world is another question.

{Strong Sad gets up and walks off set to a weird lunar landscape populated by things out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.}

STRONG SAD: I might as well give this up, even if it is the only thing that makes me happy. Strong Bad would probably ruin it somehow anyway.

{Strong Sad walks along until he meets a skinny young man in a black cloak, with messy black hair and black stars for eyes.}

STRONG SAD: Hey, it's Dream of the Endless!

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: S'up.

STRONG SAD: Wait, didn't you in "The Kindly Ones"...

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: Yeah, go ahead and spoil the plot for everyone! Anyway, I'm probably just an hallucination brought on by carbon monoxicide poisoning, which is why I'm acting wildly out-of-character.

STRONG SAD: Oh. {pause} Anyway, I'd like to give my inner world to some random person who emailed me.

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: Why do people always go to me with these questions? First Lucifer, now you! Do I look like a real estate agent? Oh well, let's go.

{Cut to Ana Ng's dormcile. Strong Sad and Dream of the Endless (with suit and briefcase) knock on the door. Ana Ng opens the door}

ANA NG: What? I though you were fictional.

BOTH: So did I.

ANA NG: So, what are you here for?

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: My client, Strong Frodo Sad of Free Country, USA, wishes to give you the tax-deductable gift of his entire inner world. {hand Ana Ng a fancy deed}

{Long, long pause}

ANA NG: Um, I was just joking about the whole "your world" thing. I don't want it. {gives deed back}

STRONG SAD: {near tears} You don't want it? But it's very beautiful, in a creepy, disturbing way. I thought you would love it.

ANA NG: Oh, I love your inner world, I'm just not in love with your inner world.

STRONG SAD: Really?

ANA NG: It's not you, it's me. I'm just not ready for that type of commitment.

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: Let's go, Sunshine.

{Cut back to Strong Sad's room}

STRONG SAD: I guess it's good I didn't give away my inner world. I would have gone crazy without it.

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: You would have gone more than crazy. There aren't even words for how tortured you would be.

STRONG SAD: Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: I don't like you.

STRONG SAD: Does anybody like me?

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: If things get really bad, talk to my sister.

STRONG SAD: Which one?

DREAM OF THE ENDLESS: You know which one I mean. Adios. {disappears in a poof of mystery}

STRONG SAD: We need to get a carbon monoxidide dectector.

{the end}

HOMSAR: Tuna salad!
DELIRIUM: Ah, close enough.
