MIKE: Some blue coffee.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm sick of watchin' origin stories.

MIKE: Dark chocolate—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I want you to get into like episode five of this coffee. You know what I'm sayin'?

MIKE: Yeah.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Where it's fighting the lesser—

MIKE: Sniff?

{Mike holds a spoonful up to Homestar's mouth. Homestar sniffs.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooooh.

MIKE: You sniffed with your mouth.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {laughs} I did. It's my olfactory organ, Mike.

MIKE: Your—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: It's all I got.

MIKE: Your ol' factory?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: It— It's the new factory.

MIKE: Okay.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What a, what—

MIKE: Get a couple scoops of this.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Wait, but what notes? We gotta talk about the notes!

MIKE: {grabs water pitcher} Smoky notes.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Smoky notes, okay. {about pitcher} What's that thing?

MIKE: Uh, intense notes.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What are you puttin' in there now?

MIKE: And full— This is called 'water'.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ohhhh.

MIKE: Wanna take a— take a whiff of this with your mouth?

{Mike holds the pitcher up to Homestar's mouth. Homestar sniffs.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, I got notes of—

MIKE: Get some—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hydrogens.

MIKE: Mmm hmm.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um, slight oxygens, um—

MIKE: Do you wanna stir it?

{Mike holds the stirrer up to Homestar's mouth. Homestar grabs the stirrer with his mouth. After a beat, he drops the stirrer on Mike's chair.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pah! I say.

{Mike grabs it and starts stirring the coffee.}

MIKE: Hey you know what—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: That would be a disaster, Mike. Don't— don't ask me to help any more.

MIKE: I'm gonna do a timer for two minutes. {hits buttons on microwave}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay. Two minute timer. Single origin.

MIKE: Yep. {pours water in press}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Blue bag.

MIKE: Smoky.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Smoky.

MIKE: And while we wait, we're gonna wait two minutes for this to brew or steep. I guess it brews, right? {glances down, presumably at Matt}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah don't—

MIKE: I don't know why I looked down there. There's nothing down there for me to— {laughs}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {laughs} Yeah stop lookin' down there, Mike!

MIKE: Hey! {gets up}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's wrong with you?

MIKE: I got a treat for you, though.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What is it?

MIKE: You know how, uh—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: More of a treat than—

MIKE: {sits down holding a tin} You know how I always like to bring something to eat while we make our coffee. Like, it's part of our, part of our little—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ritual?

MIKE: Livecast, yeah.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Our made up ritual?

{Mike holds up a Pirouline. Homestar gasps.}

MIKE: Pirouline!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {very excited} A Pirouline!

MIKE: Yeah.

{Mike moves the Pirouline to Homestar's mouth. Homestar chomps on it and pieces fall everywhere.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You know I love 'em!

{Mike laughs and eats a big piece.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pah! Pah! They're so good I'm gonna spit 'em out!

MIKE: Mmm hmm.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {calmer} Lemme get another one of them Piroulines!

{Mike puts a big piece in Homestar's mouth so that it somewhat resembles a cigar.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {gruff voice} I feel like a gangster, Mike.

MIKE: {laughs}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I feel like a gangster with a cigar {pronounced CEE-gar}.

MIKE: {adjusts Pirouline} Bit more, there you go.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah. There's no room for this town in you and me any— {Pirouline falls out} Awww.

MIKE: {overlapping} 'See'. {catches Pirouline} You gotta say 'see' at the end of your sentence.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: See?

MIKE: There you go.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: There's no room for this town any more, you and me.

MIKE: {takes a bite} Lemme, lemme clean your mouth.

{Homestar opens up and says 'ah'. Mike brushes off Homestar's felt-mouth while Homestar coughs.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You're gaggin' me! Stop!

MIKE: Alright, got it.

{Homestar sighs. Mike eats the last bit of Pirouline and points at something on the microwave.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pretty good.

MIKE: Look, the timer went away, it says 1:40— Hmm. Alright.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ummm, my internal timer says it's almost time.

MIKE: Alright. Let's stir it. {starts stirring}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Stir. Rinse. Repeat. Replete.

MIKE: Filter. {puts filter on press}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Is this coffee replete with flavor, Mike?

MIKE: Yes.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Would you say? Hey, get that elbow back up there.

MIKE: Hmm?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Get that elbow back up there!

{Mike inverts the coffee press and exaggeratedly raises his left elbow to press down.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, the other one!

MIKE: {raises right elbow} This one?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah.

MIKE: Why?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Get, get it up.

{This time, Mike exaggeratedly raises his right elbow to press down. Homestar starts to bite Mike's elbow. Mike laughs.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: How's that?

MIKE: That's pretty good.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I kinda wanted to chomp on that elbow.

MIKE: Good lookin' elbow.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: So what are you doing now?

MIKE: Now we're, um, vacuum sealing the coffee.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay. That sounds great!

MIKE: Yeah.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sniffs} Can I make the sound effects?

MIKE: We're doin'—

{Homestar sniffs and the microwave timer beeps.}

MIKE: Oh, there was the—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Awww! We did it too early!

MIKE: That's okay!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: It's gonna be disgusting!

MIKE: It took me a second to get the timer on, so I think it was probably exact.

{Homestar hums majestically while Mike removes the press to reveal their cup of coffee.}

MIKE: Look at that. Look at that.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Go. Take a sniff.

{Mike holds the cup up to Homestar's mouth. Homestar takes a sniff.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ahh. That—

MIKE: One for my partner?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, I can't!

MIKE: {turns handle toward Homestar} This is yours.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Not right now! I'm on a— I already had two cups today!

MIKE: {laughs} Yeah?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah. I'm gonna quit this round.

{Mike takes the first sip.}

MIKE: Mmm. It's good.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Gimme the notes!

MIKE: It's good coffee. {reaches for Piroulines} Uh, smoky.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Are you just makin' that up?

MIKE: Half-bodied.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You keep sayin' 'smoky'.

MIKE: {takes a Pirouline out of the tin} I don't know anything about these notes, Homestar.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Then use some—

MIKE: Thankfully it tastes like coffee.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Use Mike words.

MIKE: It tastes like good coffee.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay.

MIKE: It's dark.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Dark. What else does Mike say?

MIKE: It's pretty hot.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Dark hot.

MIKE: Yeah.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay.

MIKE: If we weren't live I would have let this sit a second, it's kinda burning my mouth.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {laughs} That's great! Hey, this is probably a great test.

MIKE: {dunks Pirouline in the coffee} You gonna give a little dunk? A little—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: A great screen test.

MIKE: The old soft Pirouline.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay.

MIKE: Gonna pull a soft Pirouline right here.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {laughs} Don't do it!

{Mike takes a bite of the soft Pirouline.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's a figure skating maneuver!

MIKE: Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I think {laughs} Nadia Comăneci used to do a Soft Pirouline.

{Mike takes another bite.}

MIKE: Alright, well good job on number eighty— what'd I say, 85 or 86?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You said 86, I think.

MIKE: 86. 86 is in the books.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah.

{Mike holds up his hand for a high five. Homestar high fives with his mouth.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pah!

MIKE: Good job.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, get outta here!

{Mike stands up and walks out of frame behind the phone's camera.}

MIKE: Why don't you, um—

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, make your brother some coffee some time, why don'tcha.

{Mike laughs. Homestar sinks out of frame while humming.}

MIKE: How do I stop it? We're still live.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {very quickly reappears} I don't know! Oh no! I'm gonna eat the sign!

{Homestar begins biting the 'Coffee Town with Homestar and Mike' sign.}

MIKE: There's a couple— it looks like there are four people, maybe? End. There's the 'End' button.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Do it!

{Homestar stops biting the sign and sinks out of frame again.}

MIKE: End live video.

{Homestar very quickly and very briefly reappears.}
