Transcript

{Scene opens at night, as crickets chirp. All twelve characters are present in silhouette. The text reads, "this is the whole cartoon this year".}

STRONG SAD: So... do you guys think that's true? This is really it?

STRONG BAD: {in an outrageous costume, which moves as he speaks} Yeah, probably. I feel like we've been steadily working towards this over the years.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You mean we're not gonna get into any Halloween hijinks or nothing?

COACH Z: Aaah... I'm getting too old for hijinks. And the last time I attempted even medium jinks, I t'rew out my torn rubdominal scrimmage.

{Pan right. Coach Z is standing on a front porch with some toilet paper on the banister, and an empty roll on the ground. The Sad Kids are holding up a plate of devilled eggs.}

COACH Z: Deviled eggs? Three pieces o' two-ply? Ya call those Halloween jinx? {takes out a whistle} Why, I could whistle so hard right now I—

{Coach Z blows the whistle. A shockwave bursts from his hip, filling the screen with redness and sending him reeling.}

COACH Z: Whooogho!

{A commercial begins. Coach Z fades into an X-ray on a white background.}

COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER: If you've suffered a torn rubdominal scrimmage, {Coach Z's hip becomes red and inflamed; an arrow points to the injury with the words "Interior Rubdominal Scrimmage"} Halloween jinx don't need to be a thing of the past.

COACH Z: They don't?

{A banner reading "LOWJINXEROL" and an orange blob with a jack-o-lantern face appear.}

COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER: Lowjinxerol is specially formulated {the orange blob dissipates, covering the injury} to treat creepy middle-aged ailments, {The injury fades away as the blobs cool it down} so you'll stop talking about them in public.

{Cut to Coach Z and Marzipan standing in the field at night. Marzipan approaches.}

MARZIPAN: Hey, Coach Z? How's it going?

COACH Z: Well, this morning in the locker room, my rubdominous swell— oomph!

{Coach Z is cut off by a flurry of orange Lowjinxerol blobs covering his mouth. Marzipan looks smug.}

{Fade to white as the Lowjinxerol banner comes on screen.}

COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER: Reclaim your Halloween low jinx with {a bottle of pills appears; an orange blob comes out of it} Lowjinxerol, {speaks quietly and quickly, as if reciting a disclaimer. Logos appear as they are mentioned} a division of Fluffy Puff/Foamalate/Hot Pooey/Smarty Juice/Videlectrix Subsidiaries.

{Fade to black.}

{Fade in to an orange Channel 5 Action Card title card reading "We now return HALLOWEEN HIJINKS", featuring a toilet paper roll holding a toilet paper roll and an egg wearing sunglasses holding an egg.}

CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCER: We now return to Channel 5's Halloween progrumming.

{Fade to black. Fade in to a dark hallway. Two security guards somewhat resembling Coach Z and Bubs are walking and holding flashlights.}

NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z: Slow night at City Hall, eh, fellow night watchman?

NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS: That establishes our location and humdrum routine.

{Cut to a door reading "Councilman Zonepermit". Coach Z and Bubs approach in silhouette, illuminating the door with the the flashlight. Chattering is heard on the other side of the door.}

COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT: {in a voice resembling the King of Town's} And please, don't keep walking towards me.

{Cut closer to the door. A shadowy figure is seen backing toward the window.}

COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT: I beg of you! {holds up arms} Nooooooo...!

{He continues backing away as a bigger, more imposing shadowy figure overtakes him.}

COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT: You're still walking towards me! Nooooo!

{Cut to the security guards, screaming in fright.}

NIGHT WATCHMEN BUBS AND COACH Z: Raaaaaaahhhh...!

{A title card for The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries is displayed. The musical theme plays.}

{Fade in to Councilman Zonepermit's office. Councilman Zonepermit is crushed beneath his desk, which is upside-down. The night watchmen are there with the four Mystfit-steries.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: Stand down, local law enforcement; group of random teens is here.

NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z: Mysfit-steries, thank goodness it's you.

{Cut to the night watchmen.}

NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z: I almost didn't recognize you in those absurd zigzaggèd pants.

{Cut to the teens.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: Yeah, I— I know; I'm trying to branch out.

{Cut to the night watchmen.}

NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS: When we rushed in here, the mysterious silhouette had vanished.

{Cut to teenage Strong Bad and Strong Mad.}

TEENAGE STRONG BAD: Oh, great. Another fanatical mysterious believer.

{Cut to teenage Marzipan. An imposing shadow is slowly looming in the doorway behind her.}

TEENAGE MARZIPAN: Zigglies, why would anyone want to kill Councilman Zonepermit?

{Cut to teenage Strong Mad.}

TEENAGE STRONG MAD: Look out behind you!

{Cut to teenage Homestar.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: Luh-luh-luh...

NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS: Luh-luh-luh...

{Cut to...}

EVERYONE: Large Bean!

{Cut to teenage Strong Bad.}

TEENAGE STRONG BAD: SO UNSETTLING!

{Cut to teenage Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Strong Bad turns ice blue and falls to the floor, frozen. Teenage Homestar runs in to examine him.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {placing his head to Strong Bad's} Huh? {raises head} Strong Bad stopped breathing!

{Musical sting.}

{Cut to teenage Homestar, standing up.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: We have to play in a band!

{Cut to a drum being played by teenage Strong Mad. Zoom out to show the Mysfit-steries playing a song under a crescent moon. Teenage Strong Bad is standing frozen at his keyboard. Teenage Marzipan plays a horn.}

{Cut to teenage Strong Bad. As the music plays, the ice color drops away and his regular color returns. He starts pounding on his keyboard.}

{Cut to teenage Homestar's foot, tapping.}

{Teenage Homestar pops up and sings as the others play in the background.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing} And in the moonlight, things get kind of kooky.

{Change to light blue background.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing} Girl, you know they do, and your parents don't—

{Cut to teenage Homestar and Marzipan. Marzipan is playing the tambourine.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: —respect me as a man.

{Teenage Marzipan frowns and walks away.}

{Cut to a field where the four teens are running.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing, voiceover} In the moonlight, {zoom out to reveal the group is being chased by Large Bean} things get kind of crazy.

{Cut to a red machine labeled "ZIG-ZAGGÉD PANTS EXTRICATING MACHINE 2000".}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing, voiceover} They're trying to extricate {zoom out to show the whole machine in the middle of the woods. Teenage Strong Bad flips a switch to turn it on} me out of these—

{Cut to teenage Homestar's pants.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing, voiceover} —absurd, zigzaggèd pants.

{Teenage Homestar runs into the machine through the doorway maked "Enter". Large Bean follows him.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing, voiceover} Moonlight... {The machine begins to shake. Strong Bad turns away and covers his ears} kooky—

{The music stops suddenly as the machine explodes. When the dust settles, Large Bean is tied up in teenage Homestar's pants.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {off-screen} Well, Strong Bad,

{Cut to teenage Homestar and Strong Bad standing over Large Bean. Homestar is now wearing striped short-shorts.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: it looks like your never-ending attempts to unshackle me from my ridiculous-èd pants have finally paid off.

{Teenage Strong Mad approaches in silhouette.}

{Cut to teenage Strong Mad.}

TEENAGE STRONG MAD: Let's find out whose rich uncle he really is.

{He pulls off the mask of Large Bean, and is shocked.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: Suh-suh-suh...

TEENAGE STRONG BAD: Suh-suh-suh...

TEENAGE MARZIPAN: Suh-suh-suh...

{Cut to night watchman Coach Z, who is holding a bloody hammer.}

NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z: So did I, {puts hammer away} honestly.

{Cut to night watchman Bubs and the Stave It Off Guy.}

NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS: Why would you want to kill Councilman Zonepermit?

{The Stave It Off Guy laughs. Cut to him.}

STAVE IT OFF GUY: I don't know. {shrugs} I guess he wouldn't give me no permits.

{Cut to teenage Homestar.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: There's only one place for a criminal like you.

{Musical sting.}

{Cut to teenage Homestar and the Stave It Off Guy.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {taking out a guitar} Playing in our band!

{Cut to teenage Strong Bad.}

TEENAGE STRONG BAD: Are we forgetting he totally just murdered somebody?

{Abrupt cut to the Mysfit-steries playing below a crescent moon once again, now joined by the Stave It Off Guy sitting in a chair and playing guitar with his Large Bean sleeves.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing} Moonlight... kooky...

{Cut to the two night watchmen dancing in front of the full moon. Coach Z is holding a bloody hammer.}

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: {singing, voiceover} Kooky kooky...

{Cut to the Stave It Off Guy. Numbers come out of talk balloons as he sings.}

STAVE IT OFF GUY: {in harmony background with Homestar} One... two... three...

TEENAGE HOMESTAR: Moonlight, things get kind of kind of kooky, yeah.
