'''STRONG SAD:''' Come again?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Did you make up another batch of that stewed Easter basket grass?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, but I think ''this {sniffs}'' puffy smell is coming from the couch.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The couch? ''{Reaches behind the couch cushion and pulls out a decorated Easter egg}'' Whoa!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That must be an egg we missed from last year's Easter egg hunt!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I don't think this is from—

''{Cut to a closeup of the egg, which reads "BO KNOWS EASTER EGGS".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —''last'' year, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, geez! Be careful!

''{Cut back to wide shot.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That thing is live, man!

''{Strong Bad stands up on the couch and starts lightly tossing the egg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can keep talkin', ''{winds up}'' or you can start runnin'!

''{Strong Sad jumps up and starts running offscreen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Soolnds, don't fail me now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hwah!

''{Strong Bad throws the egg, which smashes against a wall. Cut to a closeup of the wall, where the egg's greenish innards spell out "Sbemail Next Week".}''
