Transcript
{white words pop up in front of black screen that read "3-4 Years Later..."}
ANNOUNCER: Three to Four Years Later... {pronounces "later" as "Ladder"}
{cut to Strong Bad's computer room. The Compè is on stand by, the CD-Rom to the right of the Compé reads "Age of Mythology". Strong Bad peeked his head over to the left side of his computer.}
STRONG BAD: I'll be with you in a moment, Compè. I have some buisness to catch up on.
{his head goes back from whence it came. Cut to the living room of the Brothers Strong where Strong Mad is making something peculiar and Strong Sad appears to be overseeing the project.}
STRONG SAD: {brimming with positive energy} In the past 3-4 years, I believe your craftmanship has really improved, Strong Mad.
{Strong Mad halts his construction}
STRONG MAD: I TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT I DOOOOOO! {holds up to lumps of what appears to be paper machè} ONE LUMP OR TWOOOOOO?!
STRONG SAD: I'd go with the deuce. {he slaps his stomach before saying "the deuce"}
{Strong Bad walks in}
STRONG BAD: You better get this crap out of my way before I give you both some of my Double Deuce!
{Strong Mad sniffles after hearing his brother's hurtful comment about his art}
STRONG MAD: THAT CUT ME DEEP, BRO! THAT CUT ME DEEEEEEEP!
{Strong Bad walks through the living room into the kitchen and looks through his fridge to find The Cheat and Homestar Runner stuck in the fridge, playing on a gameboy}
STRONG BAD: {in obvious shock} WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE BROTHERS CRAPS ARE YOU TWO DOING IN MY UNDERSTOCKED REFRIDGERATOR?!
HOMESTAR: {with slight annoyance in his tone} Well excuse us for trying to beat the heat!
STRONG BAD: {throws his arms up in frustration} WHAT HEAT?! From what the announcer guy said a while ago, the weather is ambiguously up to debate on weather it is hot or cold depending on the actual date this series takes place in!! It could be summer, It could be winter... I don't know! No one really made it clear on when this is taking place!
{The Cheat makes some dismissive squeaking sounds}
HOMESTAR: T.C. Carson is right, Strong Bad. You're looking into this way too deep.
{Strong Bad in frustration tosses a blender into Homestar. In surprise, the gameboy flies out of Homestar's "hands" and into the blender, thus activating the portal yet again, this time sucking in Strong Bad and Homestar. Strong Sad walks over and spots The Cheat and the lack of Strong Bad and Homestar.}
STRONG SAD: Gee. What happened to Homestar and Strong Bad?
{The Cheat makes some squeaking noises indicating that the gameboy portal was reactivated.}
STRONG SAD: I see... {he says in a hesitant tone then suddenly runs off presumably to Strong Bad's room.} TIME FOR SOME REFURBISHING!
{The Cheat shrugs and walks off with the Gameboy and the blender, cut to the village now under repairs. Homestar and Strong Bad appear out of thin air.}
STRONG BAD: Where the crap are we?
HOMESTAR: It's that place I told you about. Where I met Steve!
{Strong Bad's eyelids lowered}
STRONG BAD: Steve?
{Homestar narrows his eyes at him, looking annoyed.}
HOMESTAR: We don't mention that name around these parts anymore, Son!
{Suddenly, a strange bipedal creature that resembled a porcupine from earth stepped out to examine the newcomers, he converses with a bipedal owl in a language that has eastern influences. Homestar and Strong Bad look at each other in a puzzled manner.}
PORCUPINE: {speaks english with a heavy accent, pointing at Homestar} You were here a day ago, right?
{Homestar shook his head}
HOMESTAR: Nah! I dropped by here like three to four years ago.
{The creatures look at each other in confusion, Strong Bad steps in.}
STRONG BAD: Homestar. {puts his hand on his 'shoulder'} You forget that this is an alternate universe. Time passes much differently here than it does back at our universe. What happened three to four years ago only happened a day ago here.
HOMESTAR: Ohhhhhhh! {there is a slight pause for 3 seconds then he lowers his eyes and speaks in a dramatic voice} We are from the FUTURRRRE! {places a lot of emphasis on the second syllable of 'future'}
{annoyed, Strong Bad punches Homestar into one of the houses}
HOMESTAR: OOF!
{His body went through the wall but his legs are sticking out, Strong Bad raises his fist to him again}
STRONG BAD: {his volume slowly gets higher} How STUPID CAN ONE PERSON BE?! {he speaks in a yelling tone, quieter than the last one} This isn't even our own freakin' dimension, Moron for Head! Your idiocy is so infuriating, I do NOT UNDERSTAND How many people... {a mob started forming behind Strong Bad as soon as he starts saying 'your idiocy...', his speech faulters after he notices the mob.} ...think you're... awesome?
{Strong Bad looks back nervously as the mob stared at him for smacking what they believed saved their village from further destruction one day ago}
STRONG BAD: {chuckles nervously} I-I-I-I really should get going now... gotta stop somewhere and get... some... stuffs... for my... stuff.
{Strong Bad runs quickly as the mob follows him and take pursuit. Homestar gets up from the hole in the wall and watches Strong Bad running away from the crowd}
HOMESTAR: {rolled his eyes over to the opposite direction} Oh, That Strong Bad! He always gets a lot of fans.
{cut to an isolated forest where Strong Bad is panting heavily and Homestar relaxes under the shade of the tree.}
STRONG BAD: {in a winded out and hoarse voice} Why the crap didn't you get me out of there?
HOMESTAR: You looked like you were having so much fun, I didn't want to disturb you.
{Strong Bad stands upright quickly}
STRONG BAD: Wait! Why the crap is it warmer over here than it was in that village?
{Homestar looked up, leering into the treetops.}
HOMESTAR: I blame Marco and his Polo team for stealing the East's Macaroni!
STRONG BAD: {he quickly placed a hand on Homestar's chest, making him quiet down for a bit.} Hold that thought! Do you still have the Gameboy Blender?
HOMESTAR: Sorry. I don't have it on me.
{Strong Bad kneels on the ground dramatically}
STRONG BAD: {raises his hand in a theatrical manner} YOU MANIACS! YOU BL-- {quickly gets back up} Waitaminute! This is perfect! This is our Work Vacation Away from Work!
HOMESTAR: You mean our WVAFW? {pronounces 'WVAFW' as 'wiv-ah-foo'}
STRONG BAD: That's right, Old Buddy! {slaps Homestar on his back in a brotherly fashion} And we can start our WVAFW {pronounces it the same way as mentioned earlier} here!
{he points to a magnificent Chinese themed cafe/tea house/inn that has a warm welcoming glow and a magic quality. Homestar and Strong Bad walk over to the Teahouse with arms over each others shoulders in a brotherly fashion to start their WVAFW, then a fade to black with white words popping up that read 'TO BE CONTINUED!'}
ANNOUNCER: TO BE CONTINUED? {pronounces 'continued' as 'contin-oo-weighed}
{sudden cut to Bub's Concession Stand where Bubs is using a screwdriver to apparenlty fix up the Gameboy Blender. The Cheat is standing to Bubs' right on the counter watching him finish up.}
BUBS: Okay, The Cheat. That should fix her up. That'll be $5 and Sixty-Seven Pencil Shavings. {The Cheat squeaks confirmingly, about to hand him the money until he makes contact with the blender and he vanishes into thin air. Bubs' quickly places a sign that read "Blender for Sale" to the left of the blender.}
BUBS: I got a great deal on a blender! Comes with a free Gameboy and $5 and sixty-seven pencil shavings! You won't find a better offer!
{cut to black, with white words popping up saying "OKAY! NOW TO BE CONTINUED! FOR REALS."}
