{The following messages appear on the screen along with music}

>At PAX '08, we hosted a panel called
>"Make A Scene With Telltale."

>a scenario and cutscene starring the cast of
>Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People

>The scene was conceived, written, and voiced
>by the audience, and built in the Telltale Tool
>by some of our choreographers during the panel.

>First, a little set-up...

{Cut to the computer room, with Strong Bad's 3D variation checking his email as usual. The music has stopped.}

STRONG BAD: Give me the emails, Lappy! Shama-lama-dingalama-doomalama-domow!

>Where are you? >Strong Bad -
>Uh, where are you?
>Our panel at PAX is about to start! Are you comeing?
>We'll try to kill time with the crowd until you show up.
>Please hurry!
>Emily M., Seattle WA

{He skips "Uh, where are you?" with a quick shake of his head. He pronounces "comeing" as "koh-may-ing". He first begins "We'll try to kill time..." as "We'll try to kill the crowd..." He interrupts himself with "Oh, 'scuse me," and corrects himself. He says "Emily M." as "Emily...M...ily."}

STRONG BAD: PAX? {unemotionally} Oh, right. {snottily} That is so 2004. Is that thing even cool anymore? {clears the screen} {angrily} Well, even though you guys have me working NON-STOP making SBCG4AP, I'd LOVE to drop everything and fly halfway across the country to spend the weekend trading Wii friend codes with a bunch of {yelling} web-comic reading dorks. {Refrains from yelling back to his normal tone} But, I can't. Some, uh, thing {types "something"} came up. But I can explain everything in about 1 minute or less. See, {speaking hesitantly} I was at that place talking to somebody...

{Fades out to a shot of an angled view of Strong Bad from the ground, with the Strong Badia flag in the background.}

STRONG BAD: {The guest imitates him with a deeper-pitch} Uh, man, that guy, that, guy, uh, the King of Town, yeah.

{Cut to an angled straight view the fence, with the King of Town in the middle.}

THE KING OF TOWN: {The guest imitates him with a higher-pitch} Hmm... butter! Rich, creamy— {blandly} Whaaat?! Strong Bad!

{Cut back to Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: Are you invading Strong Badia with... butter?

{Cut back to the King of Town}

THE KING OF TOWN: Of course not! That's ridiculous! What I'm really doing is... making the largest pancake. {His moustache curves up to resemble a smile}

{Cut to back to Strong Bad, less angled and more close-up.}

STRONG BAD: Okay, now that's much more sensible.

{Cut to Homestar, who appears to have been standing next to the King of Town the entire time.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {The guest imitates him without his usual speech impediments} Uhhh... I'm standing right here, guys, uhhh... {looks below him} in this pancake.

{Cut to Homsar who is floating in front of the fence's left end.}

HOMSAR: {The guest imitates him almost perfectly} DaaAAAAAaaa! I'm the buttersilk pancake!

{Cut back to Homestar}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: He's not kidding, you know. It really is buttery... {soothingly} and delicious. {grins}

{Cut back to Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: This is ridiculous. We gotta hang out with the coherent people of...Seattle.

{Cut to the King of Town}

THE KING OF TOWN: Coherent? Have you ever been {pronounces "been" as it's spelled} to PAX?

{Fades out back to the Lappy.}

STRONG BAD: {Voiced normally} {music plays} So, E-maily, that why I couldn't make it. Besides, have you seen {does not say "have"} the kind of people {a stretched picture of a PAX audience twirls in from the centers with swoosh sound effects} that show up at those things? {stops typing and mumbles to himself disgustedly} No thanks, man! {The photo twirls back with the same sound} {new line} Duhhh...Tell Ensign {pronounced "en-sine"} Crusher or Jonathan Coulton or whoever that I said what's up. I'll send my seasonal-depressed brother Strong Sad in my place.

STRONG SAD: {Offscreen, with Strong Bad turning his to the left} I can't be bothered with panels. I'm DM'ing the climax of my epic Maps and Minions campaign in tabletop 3 play!

STRONG BAD: Uh, {turns his head forward again} yeah. {new line} Maybe next year. {new line} Buy SBCG4AP! {ends sentence with a period} {new line} That wasn't an ad. {new line} I was just telling SBCG4AP goodbye. {new line} Bye! {quickly} SBCG4AP

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • PAX is a series of annual gaming conventions. It was started by the creators of the webcomic Penny Arcade, hence Strong Bad's remark about "trading Wii friend codes with a bunch of webcomic-reading dorks".

Remarks

  • Lipsyncing was notably out-of-sync at times, probably from a short time frame the panel had to work with.

Trivia

  • During the "fan-made" scene, there are constant laughs. They're quite hard to hear because of their low volume.

DVD Version

  • The DVD includes an extended version of this short, including the making of segments.
