Page Title: Zlappy SQ6

Transcript
(Homestripe is sitting at the Zlappy SQ6.)

HOMESTRIPE: Let's check an email.

Dear Homestripe, I just wondering, what time woudl you go 2 if you hav a time machine?

(Homestripe reads "woudl" and "hav" as spelled and says "from, nobody" after reading the email.)

HOMESTRIPE: Well, nobody, it just so happens that Bubs is building a time machine for me right now! (stops typing) I'd better go check on him.

(Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. A sheet of paper and a small white ball are on the counter. Bubs is holding what looks like a yellow-and-green-striped stem in one hand and a pink ball in the other. He sticks them together as Homestripe arrives.)

HOMESTRIPE: Say, Bubs, how's my time machine coming?

BUBS: It's almost done, Homestripe. (the ball falls off the stem) Oh, I think I'll need some more time to work on it. I'll probably have it done by the time Strong Bad checks another email.

HOMESTRIPE: Okay.

(The Paper comes down.)
