<blockquote>If you are so evil, how come you don't rule<br />
the world or at least some kind of field?<br />
<br />
Mike, UK</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad pronounces UK as "uck"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you talking about, Mike, UK? ''{pronounces UK as "uck" again}'' I mean I've totally ruled that field out behind the—

''{Cut to Strong Badia. It is windy and has a gray sky. A blue can rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' —dumpsters since like diaper school, man.

''{Strong Bad appears and holds his arm up proudly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaah, my kingdom continues to flourish. Uh, carry on, everyone.

''{The Cheat appears from behind the white fence and approaches the tire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! The Cheat! What, you wanna get banished? Don't touch that!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're you standing around for, man? Don't you have, like, some of my bidding to do?

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Strong Bad]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUN!

'''MIKE:''' OK, so I've been joined in the commentary booth by Strong Bad—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mr. SuTo.

'''MIKE:''' Mr. SuTo, apparently, is his new name, so—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Supreme Total. It's the shortness for Supreme Total.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, SuTo. Mr. SuTo.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Mr. Supreme Total Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Remember when it used to be windy in Strong Badia all the time?

'''MIKE:''' And the sky was always gray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The sky's sometimes still gray—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not anymore! Now—now that I've taken over, things have—

'''MIKE:''' Brightened up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. This is before I had the Bear-Shark. I just had verbally—to verbally abuse The Cheat. This a ''short'' email!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, get outta here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, I'm outta here!
