5 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' (''singing'') So innocent and email-free... That's you 'n me. |
6 | |
7 | Steve from Victoria, BC ("BC?! Woah, this is an old freakin' e-mail.") wants to know why The Cheat is such a diligent lackey, wondering if he perhaps owes Strong Bad a life debt or something. |
8 | |
9 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' No, Steve, The Cheat is a good lackey because he "knows what's best" and "doesn't want to get left by the side of the road during a thunderstorm" or "taped to Pom-Pom again." It probably also has to do with the fact that I "treat him like a brother that's not Strong Sad" instead of a "little yellow squeaky thing that somethetimes steals my ladytypes." I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering The Cheat "thinks pencil shavings are legal tender." |
10 | |
11 | Strong Bad demonstrates by offering The Cheat a pile of pencil shavings in exchange for stealing a fresh cantaloupe from Marzipan's garden. As The Cheat walks off with his "spoils", Strong Bad makes use of his freshly-sharpened pencil and fresh "can-ta-loop-ay" to create a crude puppet. |
12 | |
13 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' Hey, everybody, look! It's Doreauxgard! How you doing, Doe?\ |
14 | '''Doreauxgard:''' Hey, there, Mister Strong Bad! Well, I'm fine, past couple days though... |
15 | |
16 | Over at Bubs Concession Stand, we see The Cheat has gotten the last laugh by tricking Bubs into taking his pencil shavings as payment for a boy's hobby kit from Hollerin' Jimmy's. Then Strong Bad comes in as Doreauxgard, claiming that he's from "the collection agency". |
17 | |
18 | ->'''Doreauxgard:''' You missed your last payments. Gonna have to bust your kneecaps if you don't pay up!\ |
19 | '''Bubs:''' Oh, dag! You found me! (''slams down the gate on the concession stand, revealing some graffiti reading "SB wa5 [=HeRe=]"''. ''The Paper comes down.'') |
20 | ---- |
21 | !!Tropes: |
22 | * BavarianFireDrill: The Cheat gets Bubs to accept pencil shavings as legal tender by altering his sign listing approved forms of payment, and Bubs goes with it because "it's on the sign". |
23 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Bubs accepts payment in "Cash, Money, or Cash Money". |
24 | * CompanionCube: Strong Bad makes the cantaloupe The Cheat stole for him into a puppet he names Doreauxgard. |
25 | * ContinuityNod: Strong Bad mentions the implied threat of The Cheat [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE46YourFriends getting taped to Pom Pom again]]. |
26 | * IOweYouMyLife: Discussed, Steve wonders if the reason The Cheat is such a diligent lackey to Strong Bad is "you saved his life one time and now he has to repay you?" |
27 | * LamePunReaction: In an Easter egg, Homestar offers Doreauxgard a job on his variety show... as "produce-er". Doreauxgard's reaction is to say "Forget you, Whitey! I'm going solo!" and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walk away]]. |
28 | * LampshadedDoubleEntendre: Parodied with Strong Bad's gratuitous use of quotation marks when he describes, in increasingly explicit terms, why The Cheat is such a good lackey. |
29 | -->'''Strong Bad:''' The Cheat is a good lackey because he "knows what's best" and "doesn't want to get left by the side of the road during a thunderstorm" or "taped to Pom-Pom again." |
30 | * Letters2Numbers: The grafitti on Bubs' Concession Stand reads "SB wa5 [=HeRe=]" |
31 | * {{Malaproper}}: When The Cheat goes on his assignment, Strong Bad describes him as "So excited, so knave." |
32 | * NoodleImplements: The slogan on the box for Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit outright admits "We Have No Idea What's In This Box!" |
33 | * OhCrap: Bubs' reaction to Strong Bad (as Doreauxgard) trying to collect money he owes him is to hastily shutter the concession stand. |

35 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' Whoa! Forgot about that one! I mean... (''speaking as Doreauxgard'') Sure is some nice graffiti! |
36 | ---- |
37 | ->'''Announcer:''' The Homestar Runner and Doreauxgard Show! Brought to you by Hollerin' Jimmy Hobby Kits! |
38 | ->'''Homestar:''' Hey, Doreauxgard! We've got our own show! |
39 | ->'''Doreauxgard:''' Boy, I'll say! I'm gonna be a star! |
40 | ->'''Homestar:''' Nope. I'm afraid there's only one job for you on ''this'' show! |
41 | ->'''Doreauxgard:''' Well, lay it on me! |
42 | ->'''Homestar:''' You have to be... the '''produce'''-r! (''canned laughter is heard'') |
