A shadow runs through the streets of Free Country, USA. Many people walk the other way, towards the carnival. Strongbad hides behind the brick wall with The Cheat. "Well, are we gonna plant the security system or not? We don't have time for freakin' fun, man. We gots to get to Strongbadia." The Cheat says something. "Meh!" Translation: "Okay!" He then runs off to Strongbadia. Where to, now, SB?

The carnival. I'm feelin' rebellion coming on.
Strongbadia. No time for fun.
