Bottles
STRONG BAD: I usually go for the green bottles... but when the night is right, time to hit the purple stuff.
Box
First time only STRONG BAD: {Looks under the box, and finds a Pom Pom poster.} It's a smooooth Pom Pom poster. I wonder how many teenage girl balloon people have one of these on their bedroom wall?
STRONG BAD: {Looks under the box} Oh, man.
STRONG BAD: {Looks under the box} Ugh.
STRONG BAD: {Looks under the box} Nope.
Buffalo Wings
STRONG BAD: Mmm, a plate of barbecued buffalo wings!
STRONG BAD: These buffalo wings were probably pretty tasty... about three weeks ago.
Escargot
STRONG BAD: Whoa, escargot! {Emphasises the last syllable of "escargot" so it rhymes with "whoa"} Club Technochocolate's going really upscale! Or maybe it's just a sneaky solution to their snail problem.
STRONG BAD: Nothing says "snooty" like garlic-covered snails.
Homestar
At intervals when in the scene HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} Do we mi so what I must gooooo!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} Mi mi mi mi mi mi miiii!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} Oo-wah!
After the audition is successful STRONG BAD: Hey Homestar— {Pulls out the contest entry forms} POM POM: {Bubbles} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pom Pom handles all my business arrangements now.
{Contest Entry Forms → Homestar has the same effect}
Bleach → Homestar
STRONG BAD: I don't want to waste any of this bleach on Homestar. If he gets any whiter, he'll probably turn invisible or something.
Homestar → Homestar
Before the first audition First time only STRONG BAD: What are you doing hanging out in a cool cloughb like this? You know there's no real chocolate, right? HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm trying to work up the nerve to audition for Pom Pom! STRONG BAD: Audition? For what? Pantsless wonder? HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pom Pom's scouring the globe for a singer to zazz up his instrumental piano stylings.
STRONG BAD: So, why aren't you auditioning? Aside from the complete lack of talent, I mean. HOMESTAR RUNNER: I would, but I forgot my accompanying music!
After a failed audition First time only STRONG BAD: What happened out there, man? HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't know, Strong Bad. One second I was singing my mouth off, when all of a sudden my mind went totally blank! STRONG BAD: There's a shock. HOMESTAR RUNNER: I looked around for something for inspiration, but I guess the words didn't rhyme. STRONG BAD: No it didn't. Not this time.
STRONG BAD: Are you gonna audition again? HOMESTAR RUNNER: Maybe. But I'm really scared that I'll have another lyrical brain... {Long pause} STRONG BAD: Freeze? HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah. STRONG BAD: Don't worry. If you're stuck, just keep your eyes on me. HOMESTAR RUNNER: Really? STRONG BAD: Sure, it'll be funny! I mean great! It'll be great!
Homestar → Pom Pom
Before the audition is successful STRONG BAD: Pom Pom looks like a beach ball on a mission. HOMESTAR RUNNER: He's going through bunches of glossies and demo tapes, looking for a singer to turn his piano act into a smash-hit duo!
STRONG BAD: {Emphasising plosives} How's Pom Pom picking potential partners, p-anyway? HOMESTAR RUNNER: He's looking for a smooth voice, good looks, and gorgeous gams. But most of all, he wants somebody who can improvise lyrics to go along with his piano playing!
Homestar → Battle of the Bands Stage
Before the audition is successful First time only STRONG BAD: Hey Homestar, {Pulls out the entry forms} how'd you like a one-way coach-class ticket to total stardom? HOMESTAR RUNNER: {intrigued} Ooh, a Battle of the Bands? STRONG BAD: Yeah! For only a few handfuls of cash, you could be the next Limozeen! HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sadly} Oh, but I don't have any handfuls of cash. And I'm not in a band. {hopeful} At least, not yet...
STRONG BAD: Are you sure you won't sign up for the Battle of the Bands? HOMESTAR RUNNER: Not now. But if I can nail this audition...
{Contest Entry Forms → Homestar has the same effect}

Food-Related Love → Homestar
STRONG BAD: {Pulls out the record} Hey, check out this vintage retro-ironic vinyl wax! HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooo, "Food-Related Love!" That's what I was gonna sing for my audition! Crank that puppy up, and watch me work my magic.

Contest Entry Forms → Pom Pom
Before Homestar has successfully auditioned
First time only STRONG BAD: Hey Pom Pom, I'm a big fan of your piano tinkling and thought you might like to sign up for my Battle of the Bands. POM POM: {bubbles} STRONG BAD: You're looking for a singer, {puts entry forms away} and won't perform anywhere until you find one? POM POM: {bubbles}
STRONG BAD: Pom Pom? POM POM: {Irritated bubbles} STRONG BAD: Oh yeah, the talent search. Sorry.
After Homestar has successfully auditioned
STRONG BAD: {Pulls out the entry forms} So Pom Pom, about my Battle of the Bands contest... HOMESTAR RUNNER: A concert? Let's do it! POM POM: {Bubbles reservedly} HOMESTAR RUNNER: What do you mean, I'm not ready? I've been training my lungs out for hours! {Sadly} You don't believe in me! POM POM: {Bubbles resignedly and signs the form, handing it back to Strong Bad} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hooray! I won't let you down, Colonel Pom! {pronounced as spelled} STRONG BAD: Everything looks good. {Puts the form away} Now, for the entry fee... POM POM: {Bubbles distrustfully} HOMESTAR RUNNER: We'll send Bubs a check.
After PomStar signs up
STRONG BAD: They're already signed up.
Record
STRONG BAD: {Strong Bad takes the album, which is then displayed to the player} It's one of Pom Pom's instrumental piano albums. How he still managed to get chicks without squealy vocals or guitars is beyond me.
Sign
STRONG BAD: I'm glad they changed the name to "Club Technochocolate." SO much better than {derisively} "Club Trancefudge."
Slow Cooker
Before the cheese is added STRONG BAD: Hey, an electric stew pot! {Touches it and gets burnt} Ow! POM POM: {Bubbles} STRONG BAD: Makin' some victory chowder after you find a singer, eh? Tasty.
STRONG BAD: That's Pom Pom's pipin' hot stew pot.
After the cheese is added STRONG BAD: Mmm, a bubbly pot full of meltèd cheese. Hmm, you could make a pretty good fondue with this stuff.
After Homestar's successful audition STRONG BAD: I wonder how many great musical acts owe their big break to a pot of fondue. I'm gonna go on record and guess... seven.
Aerosol Cheese → Slow Cooker
STRONG BAD: Ooo, maybe I can make some bubblin' cheese lava to dangle The Cheat over. {Sprays the cheese into the pot} Whoa! This actually made a nice fondue! Even better to dangle The Cheat over! POM POM: {Bubbles}
Sword
STRONG BAD: Pom Pom definitely didn't take that sword back from me by force... and wedgies. I, uh, donated it. POM POM: {Bubbles}
Turntable
At game start, and during extended play STRONG BAD: Man. This thing looks like it hasn't been used in about four-to-six weeks.
After Homestar's successful audition The same effect can be gotten before the audition if the record playing is canceled by right-clicking before it starts POM POM: {Bubbles} HOMESTAR RUNNER: You heard the man, Strong Bad. I need that record to transform myself into an overnight sensation. STRONG BAD: More like an overnight SUCK-sation.
Food-Related Love → Turntable
STRONG BAD: {Puts the record on} And now a moldie oldie from the Pomarino himself!
STRONG BAD: {Puts the record on} Once more, but this time with feeling!
STRONG BAD: {Puts the record on without speaking}
Homestar's audition, if all the correct decisions are made at relevant points {Music starts} POM POM: {Bubbles} HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} Girl, we got a food-related love. And it makes me wanna sing! It's a hot 'n' tangy feeling, kinda like a... {Strong Bad indicates the buffalo wings.} HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} ... like a buffalo wing! Bleu cheese or ranch. We can dine in, or we can take it to go. Our food-related love makes me all tipsy, kinda queasy, like a... {Strong Bad indicates the merlot.} HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} ... like a pint of merlot! I used to think it was mer-lot, until you told me it was not. And when we food-related kiss, it never food-related fails. Our lips are slimy, juicy, like a... {Strong Bad indicates the escargot.} HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} ... like these hot buttered snails! Sooo nasty. They're so gross, and buttery, and they move so slow. They're just like me, girl. The way I move across the dance floor. {Walks towards Pom Pom} Our love is related to food, and you know that it's true. It's warm and bubbly too, just like a... umm... like a ... hang on girl, gimme a minute... {Strong Bad indicates the pot with fondue inside. If this point is missed, the song picks up from here next time the audition is repeated. If the cheese is added to the pot here, Strong Bad does so without saying anything.} HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing} ... just like a pot of fonduuuuuue! BASS SINGER: Yeah. HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Falsetto} Just like a pot of fondue! BASS SINGER: Pot. HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Normal voice} Ohhh, fondue is related to food. BASS SINGER: That's true. HOMESTAR RUNNER: In fact, I think it might be a food. Ohhh, fondue. It's so warm and it's gooey. {Speaks} Fonduey. So truey. POM POM: {Bubbles and applauds} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Great? Me? Oh, pshaw! POM POM: {Bubbles animatedly} HOMESTAR RUNNER: You wanna make me a star? Oh, thank you, thank you, Mister Pom. POM POM: {Bubbles emphatically} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yes sir! {Stands by Pom Pom}
