=== <span class="mw-headline"> Marzipan's Greeting </span> ===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is Marzipan. I'm out doing some very important things, so please leave me a message, and if this is Strong Bad calling to prank call me, can you please do the one where I win the radio contest? 'Cause that one's my favorite. Okay. Bye.

<span id="message-7"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 7 </span> ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chuckling throughout}'' Oh, hey, Pom Pom. I just heard the best TV joke. Okay, so I was watching TV, right? And there was this show, with this guy, on TV, and he made this TV joke, and it was so hilarious, and um, here is how it went: Um, it was like... a joke... and...

<span id="message-6"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Message 6 </span> ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating the King of Town}'' Oh, hello, Marzipan. This is the King of Town. Doo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Uh, I just called to tell you that, Strong Bad is not the guy who is leaving you all of these prank calls, okay? Uh, it was me all along! Doo, diddy hoo, diddy hoo, diddy hoo. Um, so next time you see me, give me a kick in the face! And next time you see Strong Bad, give him a dollar why don't you? And apologize for accusing him wrongly. Um, okay, I have to go eat a bunch of crap, because I'm the King of Town. Doo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey, Marzipan. It's Strong Sad, and um, my caller ID says that you called, and, uh, I, I missed the call because I was... lying in the dark... Uh, so, um, excited that you called and I hope you- you call me back. I'm gonna sit here by the phone until you call me back. Okay! Bye.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey, Marzipan. It's Homestar, and um, I've got to tell you about this TV joke I just heard, okay? ''{laughs}'' Okay, okay. So I was watching TV, right? And there was this show with this guy and he was on TV, right? Okay. And so he makes this TV joke, and it, and it was so hilarious. Okay, it was like... okay, I can't remember what it was like, but it was a TV joke, and you know how ''those'' are. Okay, um, I guess I'll talk to you later. Byy-yye!

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

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh, hello, Marzi... ''{clears throat, begins imitating Strong Bad}'' Oh, hello, Marzipan. This is Strong Ba-a-a-d, and, um, holy crap! You caught me! I've been leaving you prank calls all along... Crap, crap, crappity, crap, craaap! Um... so, uh, you better send your boyfriend over to beat me up, right? Oh, man! Craaap! Um, and while he's at it, he might as well return the King of Town his Easy-Bake oven which I've had for over three months now. Okay. Um, holy crap!

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Hey, Marzipan. It's Strong Sad again. You can disregard my last message because I realized that the caller ID was actually from yesterday, when I was over at your house and I called my own house to leave a message for myself, to remind me to check my caller ID. So, um, if you want to call me, though, I'm still gonna wait by the phone.

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR RUNNING?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in background}'' I already told you that one doesn't work on answering machines, man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR RUNNING?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in background}'' They've got to be home to answer the phone! Stop trying to do the prank call, man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' HELLO?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in background}'' It doesn't work!

'''STRONG MAD:''' HELLO? ''{bangs phone on table, dial tone}''

''{Machine does not beep after end of message}''
