Homsar Reservation

On first arrival

{Strong Bad casually walks onto the scene, with Strong Sad wearing a belt and fannypack already there standing near a black trunk.}

STRONG SAD: Why'd we come to the Homsar Reservation? Even I think this place is boring, and they don't even speak our language!

STRONG BAD: It IS a barren land, yes, which is I, Baron Von Flexmypecs, need to conquer it.

STRONG SAD: {distressed} Can't we just go around? I wanna go home... {whining} ...pudding...

STRONG BAD: {distracted and surprised} Look ho! A floating man! I'll move in closer, and convince him to join the bad guys.

Strong Sad

When exploring the scene

STRONG SAD: Can we go back home now?

---

STRONG SAD: Is this going to take much longer?

While Strong Sad is suffering from pretendicitis

STRONG SAD: Oh, I don't feel so good...

---

STRONG SAD: I hope I didn't catch something...

Speaking with Strong Sad

STRONG SAD: Can't we go home? It's hot and I think I accidentally drank some of the water.

STRONG BAD: Shut. Up.

Strong Sad → Homsar

STRONG BAD: You're my cultural advisor. What can you tell me about this weird job and his gravity-defying ways?

STRONG SAD: It's all a mystery! Some say ancient astronauts may have left him here! Or... abandoned him, as the case may be.

---

STRONG BAD: Can't you tell me anything useful about the Homsar people?

STRONG SAD: Archeologists have been digging up ancient Homsartifacts for years, and they've only learned two things: They're weird and they talk funny.

Strong Sad → Speech Bubble

STRONG BAD: Can you understand what the natives are saying?

STRONG SAD: Of course not! Nobody's ever been able to decipher the Homsar language! Archeologists believe a combination of ancient artifacts may be the key... {starts speaking very slowly} but no one's ever found them. {speaks normally and slightly annoyed} Didn't you learn ANYTHING in your post-Strong Badian-secession history classes? That I held in my room in a little tent I made out of my sheets?

STRONG BAD: I don't study history, friend. I MAKES it.

---

STRONG BAD: We'll never get out of here until you help me translate what this goon's saying.

HOMSAR: Daaaaaahhhhh, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!

STRONG SAD: I told you, Strong Bad! Nobody's EVER been able to translate Homsar's quote-unquote "language". Archeologists believe a combination of ancient artifacts may be the key... {starts speaking very slowly} but no one's ever found them.

Strong Sad → Cold One

STRONG BAD: Man, it's hotter than Strong Mad's armpit cleavage up in this place. I could really use a cold one. Or even a tepid one.

STRONG SAD: Don't remind me! I already drank everything in the canteen!

STRONG BAD: {alarmed} You DRANK the WATER? But it can cause dysentery, giardia, the vapors, catarrh, lybia, mozambique...

STRONG SAD: And inflammation of the pretendix! {concerned} I can already feel a rumble in my tumble...

Strong Sad → Thermometer

STRONG BAD: Are you feeling okay, Strong Sad? A-you don't look so good.

STRONG SAD: {worried} I know I'm gonna get sick! It's acute aphasic pretendicitis!

STRONG BAD: You made that up.

STRONG SAD: No I didn't! I drank the water! My pretendix is probably swelled up like a fully-satiated vampire's blood sac!

---

STRONG BAD: "Acute aphasic pretendicitis?" What are the symptoms of this made-up disease you think you got?

STRONG SAD: First you get a really high fever, then you start shaking uncontrollably. They say if it gets really bad, you can't even understand language! {shocked} My prose! What'll happen to my award-winning prose?

STRONG BAD: {thinking aloud to himself} Hmmm... how can these completely made up facts become useful to me?

STRONG SAD: I don't know! I don't want to have surgery in this backwards country!

---

STRONG BAD: Tell me again: How can you tell if you've got this cute, made-up -icitis?

STRONG SAD: First you get a really high fever, then you start shaking uncontrollably. In the worst stages, you can't even understand language!

Fake Sword → Strong Sad

STRONG SAD: Hey! My LARPing sword! Give that back!

STRONG BAD: {puts the sword away} Sorry, Dumpenheimer. I still need it.

Katana → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: Nah, I've performed enough amateur surgeries on Strong Sad. Last time I left five pairs of scissors in there!

Lighter → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: Nah. Setting fire to Strong Sad is so fourth grade.

Strong Bad doll → Strong Sad

{Strong Bad sneaks up behind Strong Sad and taps his left shoulder, putting the Clockwork Strong Bad doll in Strong Sad's fanny pack.}

STRONG SAD: {shaking and stuttering} I-i-d b-b-better t-t-take m-m-y t-t-temperature...

CLOCKWORK STRONG BAD: Jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie...

STRONG SAD: C-can't st-top sh-shak-king!

{Strong Sad symptom is triggered.}

Pottery Shard → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: You're my cultural advisor. Is this busted pot worth anything?

STRONG SAD: Whoa, that's an ancient artifact from the Knock Knock Joke About Jogging Suits era! I'd give my left arm for something that valuable!

STRONG BAD: {agitated} Well if you told me that earlier, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of stealing your pretendix!

Power Strip → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: What am I supposed to do with this old thing?

STRONG SAD: That's a priceless archeological find! That could be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Homsar people— err, person!

STRONG BAD: {annoyed} Yeah! Or it could just be an old rusty power strip.

Tuning Fork → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: Check it out, Dr. Dumpington! This thing looks ancient!

STRONG SAD: Oooo, that looks like a rare Homsar artifact! It belongs in a museum!

3-Ring Binder → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: Can you make anything out of this ancient writing, Strong Sad?

STRONG SAD: Oh, all that's written in the Homsar language! No one knows how to speak or read it!

After first symptom

STRONG SAD: {cautious} I hope I'm not coming down with something...

After second symptom

STRONG SAD: That can't be good. Does Homsar even know what a hospital is?

After third symptom

STRONG SAD: It's pretendicitis! I knew it! I got to find a doctor! Medic!

{Circle wipe, Strong Sad walks in.}

STRONG BAD: That was quick.

STRONG SAD: Turns out they've got subsidized healthcare here. And they let me keep my pretendix in a jar!

STRONG BAD: Awww man, no fair! I've been trying to have my pancreas jarred up for years!

{Strong Sad's pretendix (organ in a jar) is placed where the first aid kit used to be.}

Pretendix → Strong Sad

STRONG BAD: No way. If he wanted it so much, he should have taken better care of it.

First aid kit

{Strong Bad reaches for the first aid kit.}

STRONG SAD: Don't touch that! It's a delicate medical instrumènt!

{Strong Sad takes out the thermometer, puts it in his mouth, and places it back in the kit.}

STRONG SAD: You can't be too careful, traveling in foreign lands.

---

STRONG SAD: Cut it out, Strong Bad!

{Strong Sad takes out the thermometer, puts it in his mouth, and places it back in the kit.}

Lighter → First aid kit

First time only

{Strong Bad lights the lighter and holds the flame to the tip of the thermometer. Strong Sad takes out the thermometer and puts it in his mouth, then removes it.}

STRONG SAD: {shouts} I'm burning up! According to this thermometer {pronounced as "thermometeur"}, my skin should be melting off!

{Strong Sad symptom is triggered.}

---

STRONG BAD: Nah, that was only funny the first time I did it.

Strong Sad's Trunk

STRONG BAD: Strong Sad, do you HAVE to carry this huge trunk with you EVERY time you travel?

STRONG SAD: It contains all my delicate undergarments, and the various delicate creams and salves I use on my delicate personal areas!

STRONG BAD: Strong Sad, do you HAVE to give me the jibblies EVERY time I ask you a question?

---

STRONG BAD: A giant trunk filled with the unmentionablest unmentionables unmaginable.

Organ in a jar

{Strong Bad takes Strong Sad's jarred-up pretendix.}

STRONG SAD: Hey, that's mine!

STRONG BAD: Correction: it was yours. Maybe you shoulda gotten more pretend fiber in your diet if it was so dang important to you.

STRONG SAD: Pretend fiber gives me real tapeworms.

Mysterious bush

First time only

{Strong Bad reaches into the bush; the Homsar Reservation flag appears on the screen.}

STRONG BAD: Hey, it's a souvenir war flag from the Homsar nation! {grandly} The flag of a proud, weird person, rich with proud, weird tradition.

---

STRONG BAD: That bush doesn't really seem all that mysterious anymore.

After being lit

STRONG BAD: Any more words of wisdom, wise, not-so-mysterious bush?

HOMSAR: {offscreen} AaAaAaAaA, nice try, alligator!

Lighter → Mysterious Bush

STRONG BAD: Speak to me, O burning bush! {sets the bush on fire}

HOMSAR: {offscreen} AaAaAaAaA, nice try, alligator!

After being lit

STRONG BAD: That thing could not be any more on fire.

Homsar

STRONG BAD: Greetings, floatyman! My name is called Strong Bad. {Speaking in a halting, condescending tone of voice with exaggerated hand gestures} I need—to get through—your land—so I can clean—The Of Town's—clock. Do you understand?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, I'm a knock-knock joke about jogging suits!

STRONG BAD: I'm no linguini-ist, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a "yes."

After putting a Homsartifact in the pylon

STRONG BAD: What's the good word, Homsar?

HOMSAR: {in a deep, articulate voice} Hello, Strong Bad. What's—{back to normal} a joke about jogging suits!

STRONG BAD Whoa! Did I almost understand something Homsar just said?

After putting all the Homsartifacts in the pylon

HOMSAR: {deep voice} Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?

STRONG BAD: {starts levitating} Hey, I can understand you now! Your voice is so soothing!

HOMSAR: Thank you. I do radio ads for local jewelry and watch repair shops. I'm sure you have many questions. Ask away.

In Extended Play

STRONG BAD: I wonder if the ancient wisdom of the Homsars is now lost to us forever.

HOMSAR: DaAaHh I'll take the last bus to the bake sale!

STRONG BAD: Yeah, maybe we're better off NOT knowing.

Homsar → Strong Badian flag

STRONG BAD: I think your weirdo country could really use Strong Badia's resources. Think of what you could do with our dirt! Our tire! Our superior fence-building skills!

HOMSAR: Pucker up, Diceman! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be.

STRONG BAD: {beat} Is that a "yes"?

HOMSAR: AaAaA, I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!

STRONG BAD: You've made that bountifully clear.

---

STRONG BAD: Come on, Floatentate! Get on the Strong Badia train!

HOMSAR: Pucker up, Diceman! I'm as—

STRONG BAD: {irritated} Thanks, that's enough! ...Boy, sure hope I'm not Diceman.

After putting a Homsartifact in the pylon

STRONG BAD: So, homslice, how's about joining Strong Badia and helping me wreck the Of Town's shop?

HOMSAR: Pucker up — {deep voice} my people risk open war — {normal} as I wanna be!

STRONG BAD: {confused} Which means... yes?

HOMSAR: {deep voice} Do not jump to — {normal} truck stop gravy!

---

STRONG BAD: Come on, Homsar. All the coolest people are joining Strong Badia. And Strong Sad too.

HOMSAR: Pucker up— {deep voice} my people risk open war — {normal} as I wanna be!

STRONG BAD: This is never gonna work.

After putting all the Homsartifacts in the pylon

STRONG BAD: Do you want to join Strong Badia and help overthrow the Of Town? Off a cliff?

HOMSAR: {deep voice} Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?

STRONG BAD: We're not gonna risk war. We're gonna start one! Listen to what that royal boil did to me! First, he...

{Cut to Strong Sad's point of view.}

STRONG BAD: ...wrinkled the top off the breads and cereals group!

HOMSAR: {speaking normally} My baseboards are full of chicken sticks!

STRONG SAD: {confused} Whaaaaat?

{Cut back to standard view.}

STRONG BAD: ...and he's really fat and stupid!

HOMSAR: {deep voice} Hmmm. Then I have no choice. We will join Strong Badia. First for some sandwiches, then to die side-by-side in battle.

STRONG BAD: {hastily} Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody said anything about DYING.

HOMSAR: But first, you must complete the three ancient tasks of great boredom...

STRONG BAD: {annoyed and shocked} What?!?

HOMSAR: Nah, man. Just messin' with ya. Let's do this like Brutus.

Homsar → Strong Bad wearing Homsar's bowler

STRONG BAD: {imitating Homsar} I'm an all-expenses-paid vacation!

HOMSAR: Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!

STRONG BAD: Weird. I almost understood that.

After putting a Homsartifact in the pylon

STRONG BAD: Park them candy corns up the avenue!

HOMSAR: Sign me up— {deep voice} talking gibberish— {normal} Debra.

After Strong Sad complains of pretendicitis

STRONG BAD: {imitating Homsar} AaAaA, I broke the tip off my stipend!

HOMSAR: Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!

STRONG SAD: What are you doing, Strong Bad?

STRONG BAD: {imitating Homsar, now facing Strong Sad} AaAaA, save room for the laughtrack, Lowcash!

STRONG SAD: {worried} I— I can't understand what you guys are saying!

STRONG BAD: {imitating Homsar} I'm a fresh dipe, if you see what I mean.

STRONG SAD: {twitching} Oh! Can't understand language! That's one of the symptoms! I knew it!

{Strong Sad symptom is triggered.}

After putting all the Homsartifacts in the pylon

STRONG BAD: {imitating Homsar} Daaaaahhh... I'm the old jalboa jump shot!

HOMSAR: {deep voice} Why are you talking gibberish, Strong Bad? You sound like a two-years-old boy!

Homsar → Pylon

STRONG BAD: What is the deal with that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!

After putting a Homsartifact in the pylon

STRONG BAD: What is the deal with that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, try some— {deep voice} assemble the sacred elemental items— {normal} from yesteryear!

STRONG BAD: Ah. I thought it was something like that.

After putting all the Homsartifacts in the pylon

STRONG BAD: How does that popsicle stand work anyway?

HOMSAR: {deep voice} You have reassembled the sacred elemental items of collection. Ordinarily, you would have to face a punishingly difficult final dungeon and disappointing end cutscene. But the ancient prophecy foretold of a young boy that would one day come to usher in a new era of...

STRONG BAD: {interrupts} All right, shut up, filibuster. Never would've asked if I'd known you were such a windbag.

Strong Bad Doll → Homsar

STRONG BAD: I don't even wanna subject the cheap, broken version of me to Homsar's high-grade ridiculosity.

Pretendix → Homsar

STRONG BAD: {slight New York accent} Homsar's not in the market for slightly-used organs.

3-Ring Binder → Homsar

STRONG BAD: You know what this thing's for, Homsar?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, hotel coupons for dinner again?!

Pottery Shard → Homsar

STRONG BAD: You're a total crackpot. I think this pottery shard belongs to you.

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, hotel coupons for dinner again?!

Power Strip → Homsar

STRONG BAD: Need a spare outlet, floatyman?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, hotel coupons for dinner again?!

Tuning Fork → Homsar

STRONG BAD: This look familiar to you, Homsar?

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaA, hotel coupons for dinner again?!

Homsar → Cancel

This scene can only be seen after putting all the Homsartifacts into the pylon and speaking to Homsar.

STRONG BAD: All right, put on your dancing shoes, Homsar. Time to make a move on the castle!

HOMSAR: {deep voice} I will follow you, my brother. And these ARE my dancing shoes. But first we must perform the ancient sacred ceremony my uncle Chet taught me when I was a kid. I've always wanted to try it.

STRONG BAD: Is it gonna take long? Or hurt? Or hurt long?

HOMSAR: Relax. Let the energy build. Join me in the summoning song... {a very low note} Aaaaaaaaaa...

STRONG BAD: {simultaneously with Homsar's chant, trying his hardest to hit the same note} Aaaaaaaa...

{Cut to Strong Sad's point of view. A quake is heard.}

STRONG BAD & HOMSAR: DAaAaAhHhHhHh...

{The pylon explodes, clearing the Cave Entrance and causing a ray of light to come through it.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa! Way to go, Uncle Chet!

HOMSAR: {speaking normally} Daaaaah I'm a song from the '60s!

STRONG BAD: {disgusted} Frantastic. He's back to abnormal. Let's get out of here, Strong Sad!

STRONG SAD: I can't wait to journal about the nightmares I'm gonna have from this experience.

{All three leave the scene through the Cave Entrance. Old timey music plays as the screen focuses on the map, with the Homsar Reservation now turning red.}

ANNOUNCER: The Dark Continent: The Homsar Reservation! Who else could bring modern conveniences to this backwards land, other than the intrepid emancipator Strong Bad? Welcome to the 20th Century, Homsar! {screen now focuses on Homsar} "Raised by a cup of coffee" indeed!

{The player is taken straight to Marzistar at this point}

Mysterious Pylon

STRONG BAD: A weird rock with popsicley crystals and a suspiciously obvious hole in the top! Could this unlock the mystery of the Homsar Reservation? And do I give enough of a crap to find out?

---

STRONG BAD: A weird rock with popsicley crystals and a suspiciously obvious hole in the top!

Glowsticks → Mysterious Pylon

STRONG BAD: Nah, if that thing got any glowier, it'd be visible from the moon. Which reminds me: {looks up} Hey, Astronauts! Where's my ice cream?!?

Pretendix → Mysterious Pylon

STRONG BAD: I dunno, man. Seems like a waste of a perfectly good pretendix.

First Homsartifact → Mysterious Pylon

{Strong Bad dumps a Homsartifact into the pylon; the screen flashes for a moment, accompanied by a brief rumble.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa. That made me feel a little... vibratious. I gotta do that again!

All Homsartifacts → Mysterious Pylon

{A white light shines from out of the top of the Pylon. The energy from it causes Strong Bad to levitate.}

STRONG BAD: I understand everything now! It's all so simple!

{Cut to Strong Sad's point of view.}

STRONG BAD: 'Twas the pride of the peaches!

{Cut back to standard view. Strong Bad stops levitating.}

STRONG BAD: Wow. That was vibracious AND floatacious!

Cave Painting (Mammoth Hunt)

STRONG BAD: Hmmmm, by deciphering these crude cave paintings and hieroglyphics, I believe I have unlocked the secret of the ancients: {turns around to face the camera} They were all dumb craps that couldn't draw a Sabretoothus Rex to save their leopard hide-wearing hides. {turns around and starts drawing on the wall with a pencil} A-let me show them how it's done...

---

STRONG BAD: More Stone-Age action! {draws on the wall}

{Cue the Cave Girl Squad mini-game.}

Glowstick → Cave Painting (Mammoth Hunt)

STRONG BAD: I'm savin' the glow-in-the-dark Teen Girl Squad for Issue 50.

Cave Entrance

STRONG BAD: These rocks are blocking the way. Maybe Homsar knows how to get through.

Cave Painting (The Stick, Mailbox & Cinder Block)

STRONG BAD: Looks like Homsar's written language is every bit as easy to understand as the spoken one.

Metal Detector → Cave Painting

STRONG BAD: {digs up a card} A papyrus scroll with an evil leprechaun on it! That gives me a great idea for... oh wait, that's supposed to be an alien? Oh well, I guess that'll work for Teen Girl Squad too.
