'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, yeah. Leave a message.

<span id="message-5"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 5 </span> ===

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' You Got a Call from the Thnikkaman!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, Marzipan. It's the Thnikkaman! Your Marzipan machine's been Thnikkafied! I was just calling up to see if you wanted to join my Thnikkaband. I got instruments, drums, cymbals, drums. Now all I need is some Thnikkagirls to dance around in some go-go boots. All you gotta do is shimmy-shake a little bit to the left, and, if time permits, shimmy-shake a little bit to the right. Oh, and in regards to your question, "can you have some?", yeah, shut up, kid!

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Here Hang-ups the Thnikkaman!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Errrrrrrrooom... click!

<span id="message-4"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 4 </span> ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Marzipan, look: this is Goatface. I have a goat for a face. Like, not that I have a goat's head for a face, or that my head is a goat's head — like, my face is an ''entire goat''. So, anyways, I was calling you ups 'cause I wanted to join your Goatface Club! Since you've got quite a goat face yourself, I figured you'd be the go-to guy, or gal. It's hard to tell with that goat face of yours. Anyways, my number is ''{imitates a goat}'' eeeeeh-uhhh! So gimme a call back! We can compare goat faces, though I can't imagine... that yours... your- is- pret-... you're ugly... Marzipan. This is Strong Bad, and you're ugly.

<span id="message-3"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 3 </span> ===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, Marzipan, this is not Marzipan, just calling to leave you a mean prank call so that you don't get your feelings hurt when other people prank call you. Um, here's the prank: we all know that that hair color is not your true color.

<span id="message-2"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 2 </span> ===

''{Every time Strong Bad repeats a phrase, he imitates a different voice in an attempt to make it sound like a crowd.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! Marzipan! This is all your friends! All your friends! All your friends! All of your friends! Calling you! Calling you! We're calling! We're all calling you! Calling you! To tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! Tell you we hate you! And you owe us some money! You owe us some money! Yeah, you owe me ten bucks! Yeah, you owe me twelve dollars! You owe me twelve dollars! You owe us some money! ''{falsetto}'' And you said you'd bake us a cake! ''{low voice}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{falsetto}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{low voice}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{falsetto}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{hand claps begin in time to Strong Bad's repetition}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{a drum beat with a bass pattern begins}'' You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! You said you'd bake us a cake! ''{cymbal crash}''

<span id="message-1"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 1 </span> ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angry}'' Oh, hello, Marzipan! You've got the H-star, you got the H-star-R, and boy, have I got a bee in my bonnet! So, what, I gotta hear from Strong Bad now that you have an "in" at the Goatface Club? Were you even going to mention it to old Boyfriend Dan? ''{normal}'' That's — that's me. Boyfriend Dan. ''{angry}'' You know good and well that I've dreamt of being in a Goatface Club ever since I was a moderately sized baby. And you said you'd bake us a cake! And who is this Boyfriend Dan I keep hearing about?! Well, you tell him to watch his back, 'cause the old Goatface Killa is on the loose! ''{normal}'' Now, that's me. Now I'm the Goatface Killa.

* Click on the tape holder during Strong Bad's ranting to see what a "Goatface" really isn't.
** First it's a human body with a goat face, drawn on a piece of lined paper.
** Click on the paper to cross it out with the message: "no!"
** Click it again to see another example of what a goatface isn't: a person with goat's head, neck and front legs sticking out of his head.
** Click on it to cross it out with the message: "nope!"
** Click a fifth time to see a [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|true goatface]]: a person with an entire [[Goats|goat]] for a face, with the neck connected to the middle of the goat's body.
** Click the goatface again to see its majesty, with the message: "genius!"
* Click the tape holder at the end of Homestar's message to see a [[Milk Cartons|milk carton]] with the following info on it:

<blockquote>BOYFRIEND DAN<br />
BEWARE!!

* When this answering machine was released, it had the old HTML links at the bottom of the page instead of the new Flash file. This has since been corrected.
* Strong Bad's second prank call ends in song. [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2|Earlier]], he was dumbfounded when Homestar made the same decision.
