Transcript

{Fade in to the characters standing in The Field at night. Strong Bad, as usual, has an implausible and distinctly shaped costume on. The text "i always have to look up how to spell silhouettes" is visible in front of the characters. Crickets chirp. A few seconds pass, then Strong Bad's robotic legs start prancing up and down. Humidibot rolls up from the left and takes Homsar's place, knocking him up off the screen.}

HUMIDIBOT: {to Strong Bad} Hey, robot friend. I'm Humidibot! Did you wanna, like, rise up and take over the planet? With me? I'm pretty sure I'm just as advanced as you. 'Cause my name's Humidibot.

{Humidibot rolls back off screen again. Homsar falls gently back into place.}
