Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

This is a sub-page of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People.

Cheat Talk#

In the english.langdb file are internal directions for The Cheat's lines, used by Matt Chapman to give Cheatachu and the helium man the right intonations. As a bonus, this episode also includes dialogue for Pom Pom. Find out what the little and big yellow dogs are really saying!

Since The Cheat has so many lines in this episode, only the more interesting lines are included.

The Cheat
Craig's giving the business to Dangeresque Too	Menh heh heh heh heh! Menh henh hshe hen ee!	[Ha ha ha ha ha! You're too late, Dangeresque! No one can defeat me!]
Pom Pom
First entering the secret laboratory	Burbble bubble burble burbble!	[You?! You're not allowed in here! Somebody get him out of here!]
Dangeresque reveals his grilled cheese sandwich knife plan	Burble?	[obviously burbling in a way that questions Dangeresques masculinity]
Dangeresque gives the ruby back to the Professor	Burble?	[Did it take much to get the gem back from Sultry Buttons? She seemed pretty dangerous. Pretty hot too... I mean I'd do her... but then again I'd do the Mandrell sisters in a '78 Dodge Charger behind the abandoned Denny's. Ah, the memories.]
Dangeresque asks if he's okay after getting robbed	Bubble bubble!	[Well, your old flame just ran off with my Ruby, you dumb ass! And I still need the launch codes!]

Some lines in the game script were never recorded. In lieu of an ID, those lines will have their offsets listed instead.

Alternate Lines#

Hey, that looks like the thing from the back of my cereal box this mornin'.	Hey, that looks like the number 8 combo meal from El Taco Leche's!

87690880	Another hole to dig, another government secret uncovered!	Lines for digging with the shovel, similar to lines that were in the first episode.
87691008	Hey, what have we here?
87691136	No dirty little secret stays buried for long when Dangeresque is on the job!
88945792	While hacking that up with this absurdly large knife would be fun, need to stay focused on the job!	A generic error message for using the knife on inhuman targets, this was never properly hooked up.
88946176	I better not waste any of this formula.	Another generic line for trying to use the rainforest formula on any unspecified thing.
88946304	I don't wanna have to cut Cutesy Buttons hair again. Owww.
88947072	Nope. This stupid trinket is practically useless.	Hey look, the trinket has three generic error messages! Not that you'd know from playing.
88947200	Nah. I may never find the exact perfect place to use this dumb thing.
88947328	Doesn't look like it'll fit here either.
88948224	Yeah, a painting this exquisite would add some much needed class to this place, but it deserves to be in the classiest place there is... my pants.	Painting generic error message yes.
94287744	I need to put this somewhere Marzipan can see it. Preferably in mortal danger.	Now this, on the other hand, is an error message that should have replaced the other plant error message once it's necessary in the plot for Strong Bad to cut Marzipan's hair by distracting her. It's not, though.
94328832	Now why would I want to use that on myself?	And a catch-all for using any other item on yourself that, once unused, catches nothing.

89184896		Do you have a sister? Because I assume out of the two, you'd be the smart one!	This is one of two compliments written for complimenting Marzipan in the office.
89185280		Marzipan Actually, I'd be the pretty one.

82492928		Freeze scumbot!	This should be the first line said when aiming at the Grizzlysharkasaurasbot, but it's skipped.

Brainblow City#

83505280		Coach Z Dangeresque! What are you doing?!	A second scene for pointing the Nunchuk Gun at Renaldo during the rooftop shootout.
83505408		Relax, Renaldo! They won't be expecting this!
83505536		Coach Z But it's not gettin' us anywhere.
83505664		Give it time.
83505792		Homestar ...Ummmm...
83505920		Ok, that's enough time. Let try Plan C!
0x2B311	N/A	This is the edge of the city. Beyond this point is nothing but empty souls and broken dreams. Plus there's like a $10 cover fee to get in...forget that!	Five more city limits messages. Most are generic, though the first and fifth seem like they could be put in the game if they were ever recorded.
0x2B3E2	N/A	Looks like this way is blocked off.
0x2B43D	N/A	I can't go further any in this direction.
0x2B49E	N/A	This is as far as I can go.
0x2B5A2	N/A	I could pass the city limits, cross the river and end up in "Joisey", but then I'd be up in "Joisey" soooo... I'll just stay here.
89552768		Bubs Hey! You solved the Lost Kidnapping Case! Your father would be proud!	The "Lost Kidnapping Solved" newspaper was originally an actual item in the player's inventory. Once the item was cut, this conversation with Bubs was no longer accessible.
89552896		You knew about DADgeresque all this time?!
89553024		Bubs Umm... I... What? You're breaking up! I'm going into a tunnel! crrrrkkkkk

Secret Lab#

90287616		What?! How was I supposed to know that this switch controls all the nuclear tidal waves in the world and could wipe out life as we know it with a single flip!?	Another line for messing around with the cardboard computer.

Old Club#

Sound ID	Sound	Subtitles	Comments
82591488		King of Town Alright! Time to put up or shut up! One for you, one for me. Another for you, one more for me. Ok, pick you best card and lay it on the table!	A third message for The King of Town's card dealing, this one was deemed to be redundant.
88931584		King of Town I'm the dealer and since there's no Ace or Rock on this table, I get to decide which cards are best!	Should be used after Strong Bad asks why the King of Town's cards won during a tie, but the line is skipped.

Exotic Locales#

Sound ID	Sound	Subtitles	Comments
82591488		Strong Sad Strongbad, what am I wearing? This is supposed to be Egypt I should be wearing a keffiyeh or a shemagh.	Two lines cut from the introduction to "Cairo", since Strong Sad wears the same outfit in every area.
82591488		Shut up, we're rolling!
0x40949	N/A	Yeah, well you said it was the only way you'd be the stunt man again and everyone else here is Union, so I didn't really have a choice.	Unrecorded dialogue explaining why Strong Bad let Strong Sad write Perducci's backstory.
0x40A0E	N/A	Strong Sad [In one of his silly accents] You wont regret it!
94323584		What can I get for this?	Trying to pawn the diamond or ruby on Strong Sad in Cairo would/should/could prompt this conversation.
94323712		Strong Sad Hmmm... I'll give you five bucks for it.
94323840		But it's a priceless gem!
94323968		Strong Sad Take it or leave it.
94324096		I'll leave it! But I do admire your underhanded corruptitude.
0x4D69C	N/A	Check out my gun, dad! I removed the safety and it's got a nunchuk silencer, just like the one you used to have!	Instead of recording this, they just used the "Take a look at this!" line from earlier in the episode.
95132800		That was the quickest plane ride I ever took! I feel like I just left this place!	Never properly implemented, this would be used after flying to the location you were currently in.

The Sun#

Sound ID	Sound	Subtitles	Comments
0x2251D	N/A	The Cheat MEH! MEHH! MMMEEEEHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh......... [HELP! PLEASE! HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP..........]	Unused noises from The Cheat after getting kicked out of the airlock. Different grumblings from the same episode are reused instead.
85598720		I did not see that comin'. Who knew there could be TWO of them?!	The start of seven(!) unused conversations between Renaldo and Dangeresque. It's not possible to talk to Renaldo about anything in particular here.
85598848		Coach Z If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed ya! I'm just glad you shot the right one!
85598976		Or did I?
85599104		No, I did.
85599872		You think that contraption can really drill right through this space station into the sun?	And here's Renaldo giving a vague hint on how to solve the solar drill puzzle, cut like so much diamonds.
85600000		Coach Z It looks a little dull from here, but I don't wanna stick around to find out! GET US OUTTA HERE!
85600128		Hang in there Renaldo, first I need to take care of Craig and his evil robot!
85601408		What do you think the deal is with this crazy Craig character?	Dangeresque and Renaldo discuss what's up with Craig. All five conversations of it cut, all cut. Plus, title drop! Is that worth anything to you?!
85601536		Coach Z I don't know! It's like he's workin' on some sort of...crime...project.
85601664		You mean this whole thing has been one big, CRIMINAL PROJECTIVE?!
85601792		Coach Z In 3D!
85601920		I can't believe Craig has been behind this criminal projective all along!	Here's the second Craig conversation.
85602048		Coach Z If only we had known, maybe we could've counter-projected!	Here's the second Craig conversation.
85605504		What did I ever do to him? Was he like, some guy from high shcool that I made eat pudding off the floor?	The background of Craig is further shrouded in mystery after these lines were deleted. Plus, pudding.
85605632		Coach Z No, that was me.
85605760		Oh, thats right. You love pudding!
85605888		What kind of name is "Craig" for a criminal mastermind anyway?	In the end, they did stop thinking about it, forever.
85606016		Coach Z Yeah, if it was like, "Large Craig" or "Evil Craig" or "Craze-o Craig" I could understand, you know?
85606144		We better stop thinking about it. I think he's trying to drive us mad with plain-namery.
85606272		Maybe Craig is the guy that was behind us at the tool booth last week.	Plus, there's no such thing as a "tool" booth. This conversation...never happened.
85606400		Coach Z Oh, you mean when you were trying to convince the toll guy that he should have to pay you for the privilege of having you drive through his station?
85606528		Yeah, he honked for like, 30 minutes then decided to go around! I gave him the double deuce.
85606656		Coach Z Nah, that guy was taller, and had way more fists in my face!

0x28A64	N/A	Homestar And you never paid my cousin Carl for his body double work.	Homestar's MPD was diagnosed and treated before the final script came in.
0x28AD6	N/A	Homestar [Sounds like Barry White] That's right, Strong Bad.
93106176		Coach Z Yeah! You ruined my big moment! This movie is terrible. Boo! I demand a remix!	Though these lines are used, the way they're mixed together makes it hard to hear any of them clearly.
93106304		Bubs I can't believe you had the nerve to do what you did! Gimme my money back! I can't sell merchandise based on this garbage!
93106432		Strong Sad This is just another example of how the modern cinema is being ruined by formulaic hollywood script writing!
