Homestar: Ooh it's dark and damp in this cave. It's kind of boring contemplating all these shadows!

A scary shadow looms over the cave wall, and Homestar gasps, but it just resolves to a distorted shadow of Strong Bad.

Strong Bad: Hey Homestar! Have you discovered Plato's deep mysteries of philosophy for youself yet?

Homestar: No.....Ooooh, A DIAMOND~

Strong Bad: Oh well, too bad keep try - did you say A DIAMOND?
