Lighter

Pilot Wings

Pilot Wings → Person

STRONG BAD: He's done nothing to deserve these.

Pottery Shard

STRONG BAD: This thing's an ancient artifact! I gotta be careful with it.

Pottery Shard → Person

STRONG BAD: After all the crap I went through to get this, I'm not giving it to just anybody.

Power Strip

Power Strip → Object

STRONG BAD: That doesn't need power, I need power!

Power Strip → Strong Bad

STRONG BAD: I can't decipher this ancient Homsartifact on my own. Maybe if I used it somewhere else...

STRONG BAD: This is a priceless artifact, apparently! I gotta be careful with it.

Tony Stony

STRONG BAD: Tony Stony's an important diplomat. I can't just go throwing him around everywhere.

100% Completion

STRONG BAD: All right! An extra super special bonus costume! Looks like... {Max Skull-and-Crossbones Shirt appears on screen} ...some kind of cheesy cross-promotional marketing tie-in? Ah, well. Free shirt!

Hints

{While under house arrest}

STRONG BAD: Man, The Poopsmith left a serious stink shadow in here. I gotta open a window.

{After talking with protestors}

STRONG BAD: My genius ideas of escape aren't working. Maybe if I talk to the throngs of zealots outside I can get some idiotic ones.

{After hearing about the effigy}

STRONG BAD: They call that an 'effigy' of The King of Town?!? I could make a better one with one eye tied behind my ear!

{Before picking up the towel}

STRONG BAD: They say in prison you gotta avoid the showers, but I think I can make an exception.

{Before picking up the pillow}

STRONG BAD: Maybe I can sneak out of here when they do the next laundry delivery. That's a cliche I haven't tried yet.

{Before picking up the couch fluff}

STRONG BAD: All this nothing-doing is wearing me out. Maybe I should go downstairs and take a nap.

{Before picking up the crown}

STRONG BAD: {sorrowfully} I wanna go to my room and look at my souvenirs. Remember when I was a free man!

{Before adding any acquired objects to the effigy}

STRONG BAD: I don't know what to do with all this crap I have. I bet the NOtesters outside could use it.

{Before picking up the Maps & Minions board or attempting to leave The Field without it}

STRONG BAD: Despite the fact that I am a card carrying litterbug, I should probably pick up some of the crap laying around here. It's looking like styhole city!

{Before acquiring the quesos}

STRONG BAD: This map is working pretty good! I wonder if there's anything else in that board game I can use and abuse.

STRONG BAD: I'm gonna need to establish a trade route between Strong Badia and the local merchants. After that, a light snack maybe.

{Before talking to The Cheat}

STRONG BAD: I can't believe everybody ditched Strong Badia like that. At least The Cheat will never let me down.

{After talking with The Cheat}

STRONG BAD: I almost kinda don't really but sort of a little bit feel maybe somewhat bad for being so hard on The Cheat. I should get him something to make him feel special.

STRONG BAD: Stupid The Cheat, thinks he needs more recognition! I recognize that he's being a SEVERE butt-pain! What does he want? A medal?

{Visiting Pompomerania before annexing The Cheat and Tirerea}

STRONG BAD: It's too quiet all up in here. I shoulda brought my wingman to liven the place all up.

{Before visiting the black market}

STRONG BAD: How come ya never see Bubs going in and out of the concession stand? Does he have a back entrance or something? OR ARE THERE TWO OF HIM? Nah, prolly the back entrance thing.

{After getting the lighter and talking with Strong Sad}

STRONG BAD: What's taking me so long to beat Strong Sad? He'll fold like a big gray paper as soon as I put the heat to him.

{After burning one of Strong Sad's things}

STRONG BAD: Strong Sad's will is breaking. I just need to turn up the heat to push him over the edge.

{Before annexing Pompomerania}

STRONG BAD: I bet Club Technochocolate is JUMPIN' right about now!

STRONG BAD: I'm gonna have to use all my diplomacy skills on Pom Pom to get him to join up.

STRONG BAD: Can you believe Pom Pom said I don't have style? I'll show him style! My style. I'll show him my style.

{Before picking up a glowstick}

STRONG BAD: If Pom Pom won't join me, I can at least steal everything not nailed down in his cloughb. I'll start around the DJ booth.

{Before picking up the metal detector}

STRONG BAD: Hmmm. Did I remember to not make my bed this morning? Maybe I should go check.

STRONG BAD: There it is again. The feeling that I forgot to forget to make my bed.

{Before speaking with Homsar}

STRONG BAD: As much as I hate what can only be loosely described as "talking" to that guy, I've got to get Homsar to join Strong Badia if I want to reach the castle.

{After speaking with Homsar, but before speaking with Strong Sad}

STRONG BAD: Given that he never shuts up, Strong Sad must be good at language. Maybe he can understand Homsar.

{Before locating all the Homsartifacts}

STRONG BAD: I should start building up my empire's economy, and there's only one practical way to do that: start digging for buried treasure.

STRONG BAD: I gotta get back to treasure huntin'! There's untold riches everywhere! Er... At least sorta told riches.

{In Homsar Reservation, before picking up the Strong Bad doll}

STRONG BAD: If I'm gonna be traveling through all these newly-formed countries, I should pick up some souvenirs before I crush and assimilate them.

{After Strong Sad is sick, but before he complains of fever}

STRONG BAD: I forgot how totally unadaptable Strong Sad is to foreign climates... or the Czar of the Thermostat as we call him at home.

{After Strong Sad is sick, but before Strong Sad complains of shivers}

STRONG BAD: Maybe I should get Strong Sad a "get well soon" gift.

{Before placing all of the Homsartifacts in the pylon}

STRONG BAD: That's a freaky-looking stalact- stalagmi- stalac- rock jutty-outer over there.

STRONG BAD: I'm sick of carrying all this Homsar crap around. It's got to be useful somewhere.

{While carrying the Pretendix}

STRONG BAD: I wonder how much a fat, whiny pretendix is worth, anyway?

{During the Taranchula battle}

STRONG BAD: The only way to kill the Taranchula is to cut both its heads off. Sometimes you just gotta tell it like it is.

{In Country, before picking up the Fake Sword}

STRONG BAD: A two-headed giant taranchula? Looks like Strong Mad's been peeking at the role-playing Munster Manual back in Strong Sad's room.

{In Country, before picking up the Katana}

STRONG BAD: I wonder if Pom Pom's got anything that'd help me beat the Taranchula.

{After failing to destroy the Ice Head}

STRONG BAD: Killing that Taranchula is taking forever! I'd better start a fire and camp here for the night.

{Before the Homestarmy draft}

MARZIPAN: You better not be starting that "Homestarmy" nonsense again. HOMESTAR RUNNER: Homestarmy? Never, lieutenant! I mean, corporal! I mean, Marzipan.

MARZIPAN: I've told you a million times I don't like your friends hanging out at my house. I swear, sometimes I think we should just break up... again.

STRONG BAD: What's Marzipan been doing all this time? She's usually got all kinds of arts and craftsy doo-doo projects she's trying to show off.

{Before drafting Coach Z}

STRONG BAD: If Homestar's going to be any use to my empire at all, he's going to have to build up the Homestarmy with more than small kitchen appliances.

{After receiving Tony Stony}

STRONG BAD: Why did I let Strong Mad give me Tony Stony? I gotta get rid of this thing.

{Before annexing Homsar Reservation}

STRONG BAD: Things are making too much sense. I want to talk to Homsar.

{Before annexing Country}

STRONG BAD: I probably shouldn't leave Strong Mad alone for too long.

STRONG BAD: This empire is going to need a strong military. Who better than my tank of an older brother, Strong Mad? Or Fleshwall Jackson, as I've just started calling him.

{After becoming the new King of Town}

STRONG BAD: One of these doors has GOT to be the way outta here!

{After talking with Strong Sad/Homestar}

STRONG BAD: Stupid The Of Town, thinks he can read all my email! Two can play at that game!

{After finding out about The Of Town's plot}

STRONG BAD: Can The King of Town just make any dumb law he wants?

{After sending a non-effective tax e-mail}

STRONG BAD: I still can't believe The Of Town put a tax on the one thing I use the most. I was RIGHT to start a revolution!

{After the Of Town declares war}

STRONG BAD: Argh, this place is like my grandma's! Drafty, too quiet, and nothing to play but board games!

Main Menu
