SNAKE BOXER: {on-screen caption} ...

STRONG BAD: Why won't he hit that?

HOMESTAR: {pops up} Guy's got a thing for snakes, Strong Bad. Don't ask him about it; he gets real quiet and does that thousand-yard stare. {vanishes}

STRONG BAD: Oh yeah.

---

STRONG BAD: He won't go for it. Snake Boxer may only do one thing, but he's the best at it.

Cell Phone

{When using it indoors}

STRONG BAD: {annoyed} No signal? You'd think a cell phone this giant'd have a better antenna. I better wait until I'm in a wide open space. {puts the phone away}

---

STRONG BAD: Another ghost in the frame?

Map

Gel-Arshie's Backstage

STRONG BAD: I better find a place for the Gel-Arshie game on here, so I know to avoid it.

Peasantry Inn

STRONG BAD: Now I've gotta find a place for the Peasantry Inn on my map.

Peasantry Forest

STRONG BAD: After all this time I can finally put Peasantry on my map! But where should it go?

Stinkoman 20X6

STRONG BAD: It's gonna be a challenge, but there's got to be room for Stinkoman 20X6 somewhere on here.

Trogdor Machine

STRONG BAD: I better write down where my Trogdor machine ran off to on my map, so I don't forget.

Videlectrix Halfathlon

STRONG BAD: Hmm, where should I put the Videlectrix Halfathlon on my map?

Hints

{Before talking to Strong Sad about the Trogdor machine}

STRONG BAD: Strong Sad must know where the Trogdor machine went. Or at least I can hear him cry about getting beaten up by it. That should be good for a laugh.

{Before attempting to open the Trogdor cabinet the first time}

STRONG BAD: The only way I'm gonna get to play my TROGDOR! game again is to use this case key to open up the cabinet.

{Before acquiring the Metal Detector}

STRONG BAD: I've got to get back to my room. I'm expecting that photo crew from "Filthy Living" magazine to show up any second.

{Before recovering Homestar's quarter}

STRONG BAD: Homestar's so stupid, he's probably standing on his lucky quarter and doesn't realize it.

{Before recovering Homestar's phone}

STRONG BAD: I better call my agent and see how "Dangeresque 3" is doing at the box office. Now where did I put Homestar's cell phone when I stole it?

{After calling Videlectrix for the logic board}

STRONG BAD: The Videlectrix guys said they'd drop off my package near Bubs' Concession Stand.

{Before entering the game cabinet}

HOMESTAR: {pep talking} Are you gonna let that dragon walk all over you like that, or are you gonna get inside that video game and take him out?

STRONG BAD: I'm still deciding!

{Before successfully opening a crate}

HOMESTAR: Man, I'm dying to know what's inside those crates. Can't you get a crowbar, or find some way to punch 'em open?

{After opening one crate, but not the second one}

HOMESTAR: Yeah, hang on, I'll ask him. Hey, Strong Bad, we need some more snakes in here. Don't ask. Could you just like, pack 'em up in a crate or something and send them to us?

{Before obtaining the Light Musket}

HOMESTAR: You're gonna need some kind of weapon if you want to kill a big old dragon like Trogdor.

---

HOMESTAR: Man, Marzipan's been throwing those crates around like they're goin' out of style! I wonder where they're all going?

{Before entering Peasantry}

HOMESTAR: Hey, SB, I hear those guys in that Peasant's Quest game have a lot of XP killing dragons. Just an FYI from the HSR.

{While the House of Strong is haunted}

HOMESTAR: Have you checked your baby brother's room? The ghosts are coming from inside the house!

---

HOMESTAR: Whenever I get too scared, I like to go downstairs and turn on the TV. And then hide under the couch.

{After the ghost sprites leave the House of Strong}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} Now you know what that Paul Revere guy looks like, solving that code wheel should be no problem! {vanishes}

{After gaining Gel-Arshie}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} I'm glad that Gel-Arshie guy is stuck in his own game. I don't like the way his brain is right there, starin' at you, goin' "THINK! THIIINK!" {vanishes}

{Before giving The Poopsmith what he wants}

HOMESTAR: Strong Bad, aren't you supposed to be finding a bunch of grapes or something for the Poopsmith?

STRONG BAD: He didn't want grapes, he needed rivets.

HOMESTAR: Oh, is THAT what those were? I thought it was grapes.

{Before the Limozeen Space Machine joins your party}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} When you get the Limozeen Space Machine fixed, make sure he checks the wiper fluid. That's very important! Plus I got a coupon. {vanishes}

{Before rescuing Bubs from Marzipan}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} I'm only telling you this 'cuz you're my best friend—

STRONG BAD: {interrupts} No I'm not.

HOMESTAR: —but I think Marzipan's on the Total Load. A little broomstick like her shouldn't be able to throw that far. {vanishes}

{Before speaking to Strong Sad}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} They say Trogdor's Lair is behind some pass through the mountains. Have you seen anything like that? {vanishes}

{While at the Peasantry Inn area but before talking to Strong Sad}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} Oh! Oh! I remember this game! Don't you have to talk to the guy who's guarding the path to where Trogdor hides out? {vanishes}

{Before going to Stinkoman 20X6}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} I'm just goin' over some of my favorite classic hremails. "Dear Homestar, what would you look like as a Japanese cartoon? And what would it be about?"

STRONG BAD: {annoyed} Hey, shut up! That's MY sbemail! {Homestar vanishes.}

{While inside Stinkoman 20X6}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} This game is too slow, Strong Bad! Faster! FASTER! {vanishes}

---

HOMESTAR: {pops up} Still no sign of that TrogSword, SB, but I'm keepin' an eye out for it! {vanishes}

Before talking to the Stinkoman 20X6 enemies}

HOMESTAR: Being in the video game really makes you appreciate what the level one monsters have to go through. Let's hear it for the level one monsters!

---

HOMESTAR: Hey Strong Bad, which Stinkoman bad guy do you think is the dreamiest? Most days I think it's Postlethwaite, but there's just something about Browntant.

{Before completing the stage repairs at Stinkoman 20X6}

HOMESTAR: {pops up} This game's all broken and buggy. They should get somebody in here to fix it. {vanishes}

---

HOMESTAR: {jumping} Whee! Whee! Whe- oh, sorry, Strong Bad. I forgot you can't jump.

{After the TrogSword has been acquired}

HOMESTAR: Uh, isn't Trogdor's lair back in Peasantry?

{If the player is going through the Hallways of Trogdor's Lair without using party members to defeat enemies}

HOMESTAR: {pops up, annoyed} What a rip-off! What was the point of picking up all that stuff in your inventory if you can't use it in a shootin' game? {vanishes}

{Before exposing Ultimate Trogdor's weak spots}

HOMESTAR: Your weapons aren't working, Strong Bad. Maybe you can give him the creeps until he runs away.

{After exposing Ultimate Trogdor's weak spots}

HOMESTAR: Trogdor must have more weak spots hidden all over!

{After defeating Ultimate Trogdor}

HOMESTAR: {half-heartedly} We better get out of here before the roof caves in! If only we had a way to unlock that giant lock!

Cheat Commandos Topplegangers Traction Figures

Swampslash

STRONG BAD: No way! It's a limited-edition unreleased Cheat Commandos action figure! I don't believe it. This one is Swampslash, leader of the shady mercenary commando biker gang and book club, the Topplegangers.

Dryghost

STRONG BAD: Another unreleased Cheat Commandos figure! This one is Dryghost, the Topplegangers' bad-seed second-in-command! And he's still in the package! I'm gonna be SO rich!

Subtlefuge

STRONG BAD: All right! It's Subtlefuge, easily the manliest and most mysterious of the Topplegangers! And Crackotage's evil twin! Is he a good guy? Is he a bad guy? With that kind of chest hair, does it even matter?

Fudgeclank

STRONG BAD: {excited} This... cannot... be happening. It's a brand new figure for Fudgeclank, the Topplegangers' "wild card". They only made like a dozen of these before they had to do a recall for what they referred to as "Irresponsible Causation of Nightmares and Subsequent Wet Beds". I heard that if you combine the packages for all four Topplegangers, it makes the Deluxe Submarine Junkyard Playset! I gotta get back to my room and see if it works!

Good Graphicketeers Cards

{After obtaining all four}

STRONG BAD: {excited} Oh, boy! Now that I've got all four of the Good Graphicketeers cards, I can put them together to form... {The cards come together on screen and flip over to their backs to reveal a bigger picture; Strong Bad isn't amused.} ...a picture of a stick of gum.

100% Completion

STRONG BAD: {surprised} Videlectrix is giving away unlicenced me shirts? {The Strong Bad shirt item appears on screen.} I gotta talk to my made-up lawyer about this. {The shirt leaves the screen.} Would've been cooler if I was wearing a shirt with me on it, and then that one was wearing a shirt with me on it... {speaks in a grittier tone} ...and then that one was wearing a shirt with me on it... {mumbles}
