Deleted Scene Transcripts

Original Danger

"Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

Page title: Diluted Scene #1

CAPTION: Deleted Scene #1: This scene was to be used as one of the perils that Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad faced on their journey to find the Yello Dello. Homestar's foul mouth kept it out of the final cut.

{Cut to scene from the Atari game Barnstorming. Homestar is piloting a biplane with Strong Sad and Pom Pom as passengers, and runs it into a barn four times, then pulls up and runs into a couple birds}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!

Coach Z's Office

"So, tell me what's the matter."

Page title: Diluted Scene #2

CAPTION: Deleted Scene #2: Coach Z's office wasn't always the locker room. Watch and learn. And be disturbed.

COACH Z: Step into my office.

{Cut to the showers. Homestar is seen from the back, naked except for a showercap, while Coach Z is fully clothed. Note that Homestar seems to have his normal design instead of a stylized one.}

COACH Z: So, tell me what's the matter. {claps three times}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well...

{Fades to black}

Strong Mad

"THE YELLO DELLO..."

Page title: Diluted Scene #3

CAPTION: Originally cast in the role of Strong Bad, was Strong Mad. Despite a stellar performance, it was later decided that his oven mitts were too big, so the role went to Strong Bad.

{Cut to Strong Mad and Marzipan standing in Marzipan's garden.}

STRONG MAD: THE YELLO DELLO...

MARZIPAN: What?

STRONG MAD: YELLO DELLO...

MARZIPAN: What did you say? Mello Yello?

STRONG MAD: The Yello Dello...

MARZIPAN: What?

STRONG MAD: Uhhhh... Homestar...

MARZIPAN: I'm Marzipan.

Secret Deleted Scene

There is a secret "deleted scene" that is not linked to in the DVD. It features an unaltered scene taken from the film with an odd caption before it.

Page Title: But, they were DELETED!!

CAPTION: This scene was altered in the original toon because Marzipan's dialogue had too many bad swears in it. At the last minute this was deemed 'out of character' for her and her lines were cut. Here it is in its fancy, prancey new form with more appropriate dialogue and 50% more bleach!

{Cut to Marzipan's garden, where Marzipan walks up to a flower with a watering can that says "h²oh!" and waters it.}

MARZIPAN: {singing to herself} My birthday, my birthday, it's almost my birthday. Yeah yeah yeah...

{Strong Bad flies on screen and lands next to Marzipan, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}

MARZIPAN: {surprised} Oh!

STRONG BAD: Hey, Marzipan.

MARZIPAN: {turns around} Oh hi, Strong Bad. Are those my oven mitts?

STRONG BAD: What? No! These are my training gloves...probably... {Marzipan briefly looks skeptical} Uhh, anyways, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday.

MARZIPAN: {drops watering can, spilling water} Yello Dello?

STRONG BAD: You wanna know what I got you?

MARZIPAN: My oven mitts?

STRONG BAD: NOTHING! {Marzipan winces}

{Strong Bad jumps backwards offscreen with a slide whistle.}

MARZIPAN: {happily} Oh, my very own Yello Dello!

{An image of the Yello Dello appears next to Marzipan with a smack.}

MARZIPAN: She can assist me with my gardening!

{With a pop, a flower-decorated hat, a basket full of flowers, and a spade with dirt in it appear on the Yello Dello. Marzipan bounces happily, and the imagined Yello Dello disappears with a smack.}

{Fade to black.}
