7 | James from "Detroit Me" thinks there hasn't been much cooperation between Strong Bad and The Cheat and suggests the two pull off a caper. Strong Bad then reveals the cause of the tension between himself and The Cheat was that the latter screwed up their last caper, when he broke a lamp and interrupted a daring raid on... Homestar Runner's morning paper. |
8 | |
9 | ->'''Homestar:''' (''half-asleep'') Hey, Strong Sad, Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?\ |
10 | '''Strong Bad:''' We've been ID'd! Every man for himself! (''he and The Cheat run away'')\ |
11 | '''Homestar:''' Thanks for stopping by, you guys. (''beat'') Thanks for breaking my cow lamp. |
12 | |
13 | Thinking back on the good times he and The Cheat shared, Strong Bad is even inspired to break into song, with backing claps by Strong Sad and Strong Mad. |
14 | |
15 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' I got mad at The Cheat\ |
16 | For screwing up the Jumble caper\ |
17 | I hope I don't see his name in the paper\ |
18 | In the obituaries\ |
19 | 'Cause that would mean he's dead!\ |
20 | The Cheat is not dead!\ |
21 | I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead!\ |
22 | The Cheat is not dead!\ |
23 | '''Strong Mad:''' DEAD!\ |
24 | '''Strong Bad:''' I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead!\ |
25 | The Cheat is not dead!\ |
26 | '''Strong Sad:''' Dead!\ |
27 | '''Strong Bad:''' So glad The Cheat is not--\ |
28 | Just the claps! Just the claps... Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm. |
29 | ->'''Strong Sad:''' Oh, sure. I got tons of rhythm. |
30 | |
31 | As his brothers "keep it rolling", Strong Bad runs off to the Field to find The Cheat and apologize. |
32 | |
33 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' The Cheat, I... I just wanted to say that...\ |
34 | '''The Cheat:''' (''The Cheat noises'')\ |
35 | '''Strong Bad:''' Aw, I can't stay mad at you! (''pats The Cheat's head'')\ |
36 | '''The Cheat:''' (''The Cheat noises'')\ |
37 | '''Strong Bad:''' Aww, how about a little kick for old times' sake?\ |
38 | '''The Cheat:''' (''annoyed The Cheat noises, stands with his arms akimbo'')\ |
39 | '''Strong Bad:''' Nah, I'm just kidding, man. (''makes several fake kicking motions'') Oh, what, watch me now! Had you there.\ |

42 | !!Tropes: |
43 | * AccidentalMisnaming: A half-asleep Homestar misidentifies Strong Bad and The Cheat as "Strong Sad" and "Batman" (since The Cheat has his hands up in a way that kind of makes him look like Batman's trademark cowl) |
44 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: When a half-asleep Homestar misidentifies Strong Bad and The Cheat as Strong Sad and Batman, Strong Bad panics and yells "We've been [=IDed=]! Every man for himself!" |
45 | * EvilIsPetty: Strong Bad breaks into Homestar's house... just so he can steal the Jumble puzzle from Homestar's morning paper. |
46 | * HiddenDepths: Strong Bad seems surprised at his younger brother's sense of rhythm. |
47 | -->'''Strong Bad:''' Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.\ |
48 | '''Strong Sad:''' Oh, sure, I got tons of rhythm. |
49 | * IRememberItLikeItWasYesterday: Parodied. |
50 | -->'''Strong Bad:''' Seems like only yesterday, we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.\ |
51 | '''Strong Sad:''' That ''was'' yesterday! |
52 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: Homestar loses his speech impediment when he says, "What is it? Like, three in the afternoon?" |
53 | * PermaStubble: Played with. Homestar appears to have this, but he says what's covering his face is actually cinnamon. |
54 | * ThrowTheDogABone: In stark contrast to their usual relationship, Strong Bad is complimentary towards Strong Sad here. |
55 | * SomethingWeForgot: An Easter egg shows Strong Bad's brothers are still "keeping it rolling", clapping their hands to the beat of "The Cheat Is Not Dead". |

57 | ->(''Homestar, still in his pajamas and five o'clock shadow, enters, holding a cup of coffee'') |
58 | ->'''Homestar:''' (''to Strong Bad and The Cheat'') You guys are ''so'' cute. (''beat'') Man, I should probably get dressed or something. What is it, like three in the afternoon? (''staring down at the miniature version of himself on his shirt'') Looking good, Homestar. |
59 | ->'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah, what's the deal? I didn't know you had to shave. |
60 | ->'''Homestar:''' Oh, I don't. It's cinnamon. |
61 | ---- |
62 | ->(''cut to the computer room. the music is still rolling as Strong Mad and Strong Sad continue clapping their hands to it'') |
63 | ->'''Strong Sad:''' Um... do you think we can stop now? |
