-Mitchell Smith, Australia

STRONG SAD: {typing} Another email from Mitchell Smith. Glad I have one friend...ly acquaintance. Actually, you'd probably hate me if you meet me. Such is my life.

{gets up}

STRONG SAD: So, my older brother has realized time travel. He must be an idiot savant. I'll go sneak on to his computer. {pauses} What does my computer look like anyway?

{Strong Sad's computer turns into an Amiga}

STRONG SAD: {sighs} It figures.

{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Sad sneeks in and types on the keyboard quickly}

STRONG SAD: {typing} timetravel.exe...

{The screen shows this:} 

Weclome to the Dirac Sea! Chose your option:
1. Set Time
2. Set Place
3. Go Back in Time
5. Chicken Out

{Strong Sad sets everything up}

STRONG SAD: Here I go. {presses spacebar}

{Cut to an oceanliner, circa 1920. A handsome Japanese man with a Dali-esque moustache and flamboyant western-style clothes leans on the rail. Strong Sad falls onto a pile of sandbags.}

STRONG SAD: Oof!

JAPANESE MAN: {slight accent} Odd way to sneak on board.

STRONG SAD: {points to him} You're Strong Grand!

JAPANESE MAN: That's not my name...yet. I like the sound of it, though. Good translatation of my Japanese name. Maybe I will use it.

STRONG SAD: {aside} I just met my Great-Grandfather Strong Grand! He started this naming scheme in the family. Nobody has ever found out his Japanese name, and he took it to the grave with him. I'll ask him now.

STRONG GRAND: I'm not telling you.

STRONG SAD: Huh?

STRONG GRAND: I heard you talking. This isn't The Theatre. I'm not telling some crazy elephant boy that falls from the sky.

STRONG SAD: Insulted by my own ancestors! I'm so ashamed. {starts crying} I'll end it all now!

{Strong Sad pushes Strong Grand overboard}

STRONG SAD: End program. {fades away}

{A young woman runs over with a lifesaver}

YOUNG WOMAN: I'll save you, you handsome man I want to marry and have oddly named kids with!

{cut to present times. Strong Bad is sitting at the computer when Strong Sad materializes}

STRONG SAD: I still exist?

STRONG BAD: {not turning around} Unfortunately so, dumpus.

STRONG SAD: What happened to Strong Grand?

STRONG BAD: He died when we were kids, moron.

STRONG SAD: No, what happened on the oceanliner to America?

STRONG BAD: He says he meet his future wife. Also, he says he fought the leviathan. Crazy old man.

STRONG SAD: {aside} So Novikov is right...if an event exists that could give rise to a paradox, then the probability of that event happening is zero! It's all so obvious! {starts laughing} Oh-ho-ho-ho!

STRONG BAD: You have one creepy laugh.

{end program}
