Script
HP: All right, you guys. I know my email intro songs are bad. So I bought this book on writing a good email song, and I spent days and daaays writing the intro song for this very email. I worked really hard, you know. So prepare to get your minds blown from... good-email-song-writing...ness. {clears throat and sings, accompanied by the sound of pounding on a broken piano} Check-a-my email, check an hpemail!

GOBLIN: That's it?

HP: What do you think?

GOBLIN: Well, it sure is better than Hpemail #-50. {flashback of HP sitting at a computer with "Computa 001" written on it.}

FLASHBACK HP: Emails are good, emails types, emails don't have stripes. {flashback ends}

HP: Yeah, I admit that was bad. But this time it was great!

GOBLIN: If you say so.

HP: I'm just... gonna... check-a-my email now.

HP: {reads "painting?/" as "painting-question-slash"} Ohhh, yeah, I remember it, and I'll tell you what I think of the, er, painting. And by the way, his name is Steven Painting. How do I know this? That painting... is my cousin.

{a doorbell is heard}

GOBLIN: HP, the pizza's here.

{opens a door}

GOBLIN: Aw, man, this isn't the pizza.

STEVEN: {comes in} Wah-hey-hey-hey! Well, if it isn't my big cousin!

HP: Oh no. Steven, won't you just go away for once?!

STEVEN: Oh boy, checkin' one of your emails! Boy, do I have some good ideas for words to write in an email.

HP: One thing about you that bothers me is: why do you always wear that cycling gear? I mean, you're not even that serious about riding.

STEVEN: Wa-hey, last year I hit 30 miles per hour in 1:10.

HP: Whatever.

STEVEN: Well, hey, hey, The Goblin! I love that dance you do! Can you do it again?

GOBLIN: {sigh}

{The Goblin does a dance as an organ plays in the background}

STEVEN: Ahh, I can never get tired of that sound! {imitates The Goblin's dancing music} Doot-diddle-dee-bo-dee-ba-doo!

HP: Alright, Steven. Get out of here before I get the jibblies.

STEVEN: But I wanted to come over and watch The Show!

HP: Cus is glued to the TV right now watching "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill Adventure Mystery Hour". So leave.

STEVEN: Will do! {jogs out the door}

HP: So, Email Sam, that's why Stevens can do a 220 in 4:45. Whatever that is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill Adventure Mystery Hour.

{The Napkin comes down}
