Transcript
{The text, "Marshie vs. Little Girl" appears on an orange background as creepy organ music plays. Cut to Little Girl, wearing a skeleton costume and sitting on a box next to a bubbling cauldron.}
LITTLE GIRL: Trick or treat!
MARSHIE: {swoops in, dressed as a vampire} Boogidy-boogidy! I'll scare your pants!
LITTLE GIRL: Hey, Marshie?
MARSHIE: Hi, Little Girl! {Cut} What're you doing on the Halloween?
LITTLE GIRL: Um, you dress up as... costumes, like, scary stuff... or, not scary stuff.
MARSHIE: Like a bowler?
{Cut}
LITTLE GIRL: Do you know the secret ingredients in my potion?
MARSHIE: What is it?
LITTLE GIRL: {whispers} Dry ice.
MARSHIE: I think that just killed the magic!
{Cut}
LITTLE GIRL: So when it stops bubbling, that means it's ready to poison the dragons!
MARSHIE: Poison the dragons!
LITTLE GIRL: Yeah—
MARSHIE: That sounds like a heavy metal album!
LITTLE GIRL: Yep. {Cut} Knock knock.
MARSHIE: Who's there?
LITTLE GIRL: Vampire.
MARSHIE: Vampire who?
LITTLE GIRL: Vampires are dumb!
{cricket noises}
MARSHIE: {Zooming in on his face as he screeches} How many times do we have to do this?!
{zoom back}
LITTLE GIRL: My parents cut down the sugar a little bit.
MARSHIE: I can understand! {screeching} I could use a little cutback myself!
{Cut. Little Girl screams and lunges at Marshie, who screams back. Little Girl breaks out laughing.}
MARSHIE: You're freaking me out, kid! {Swoops offscreen.}
{Cut}
MARSHIE: {back onscreen} I was losing control!
LITTLE GIRL: {laughs} You're funny.
MARSHIE: You're pretty quaint! Let's do a Fluffy Puff commercial, okay? With Marshie and the dead kid!
{Cut}
MARSHIE: {Fluffy Puff music plays in the background} Hey, Little Girl. What's your favorite thing about Fluffy Puff Malloweens?
{Cut}
LITTLE GIRL: The orange one is my favorite color, and the black one isn't.
MARSHIE: Yeah? That's not very good advertising!
{Cut}
LITTLE GIRL: Yeah! And they're definitely like... {grips stomach} water.
MARSHIE: Yeah-he-heah. Our marshmallows are just like water! Fluffy Puff Malloweens. Why ever drink again?
{As Marshie says this last line, cartoon blood covers the screen with a bag of Malloweens and the text, "Why Ever Drink Again?" Cut back to Little Girl and Marshie.}
LITTLE GIRL: Zombies aren't real.
MARSHIE: No?
LITTLE GIRL: No.
MARSHIE: What about me?
LITTLE GIRL: Um, talking marshmallows aren't real, but you— you're real to me.
MARSHIE: Really?
LITTLE GIRL: Yep. {Cut} Whenever I'm bad at school and I don't get Halloween, I just pass out candy.
MARSHIE: I just pass out! {makes squishy sound effects as he sinks to the floor}
LITTLE GIRL: No! No. Noooooo! {breaks into fake tears}
{Cut back to the original orange background, upon which the text, "end." is superimposed.}
Easter Eggs
Poison the dragons!
- Click on Marshie after he says "that sounds like a heavy metal album" to see a Taranchula album.
- At the end, click on the word 'end' to see a conversation between Homestar Runner and the Little Girl. HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Little Girl removes her hood} Wait a minute! You're a little girl! I thought you was a little ghoul. {due to his impediment, he pronounces "girl" and "ghoul" nearly the same} LITTLE GIRL: I am. HOMESTAR RUNNER: Like Ghouls 'n Ghosts. LITTLE GIRL: I.... HOMESTAR RUNNER: But you're just a little girl. LITTLE GIRL: Yup. HOMESTAR RUNNER: Not a ghoul.
Fun Facts
Explanations
- Dry Ice is commonly added to water to create low-sinking dense clouds of fog.
Trivia
- The intro music is from the beginning of Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565), commonly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, a composition often used for Halloween. It has been transposed to F minor.
- This is the first appearance of the Marshie puppet on homestarrunner.com. The Marshie puppet first appeared in Real-Live E-Mails on strongbad email.exe Disc 4.
Inside References
- The page title is the same as that of Meet Marshie.
- Marshie wore the vampire costume in Malloween Commercial, and "Boogidy-boogidy! I'll scare your pants!" is similar to a line from that short.
- Additionally, the music that opened Malloween Commercial and the game Marshie's Malloween Mix-Up appears in this short.
- The dragon snout shown on the Poison the Dragons album strongly resembles Trogdor's snout.
- Cricket noises can be heard after Little Girl's knock knock joke.
Real-World References
- In the Easter egg, Homestar mentions Ghouls 'n Ghosts, a real-life arcade game.
- Marshie is correct about the album title. Besides the Easter egg, it's similar to Dio's Killing the Dragon.
