"Meet the Scout" Video Transcript
[The Scout is in a fierce battle on Well. He runs towards the center of the map dodging everything that BLU throws at him, then outruns and crosses a passing train as it crushes a BLU Soldier and Pyro.]
["Meet the Scout" text appears]
[Scout walks in front of the Meet the Scout text, from off frame.]
Scout: "Um... I don't even know where ta' start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to?
[Cut to a scene of a BLU Heavy, sitting near the third Control Point in Granary about to take a bite of a sandwich, when he is poked in the head by the Scout's bat.]
Scout: "Yo, what's up?"
[Cut back to Scout in front of text.]
Scout: D-Do you have any idea, any idea who I am?"
[Back to Heavy and Scout, who are in a fistfight and yelling. Cuts back to Scout.]
Scout: "Basically - kind of a big deal!"
[Back to fight. Scout is strangling Heavy with his bat.]
Scout: [Flexes a muscle] "Oh man, that's beautiful. Heh!"
[Cut back to fight, Heavy now has the Scout in a headlock. Cuts back to Scout.]
Scout: "Are ya' listenin'? Ok, grass grows, birds fly, sun shines. And brotha'- I hurt people."
[Cut back to fight, and Scout whacks the Heavy in the groin with his bat.]
Scout: "BOINK!"
Scout: [Back to Text] "I'm a force of nature!"
[Scout hits the Heavy in the chin.]
Scout: "BONK!"
[Cuts back to Scout]
Scout: "If you were from, where I was from, you'd be f**kin' dead!"
[Cuts back to fight; Heavy is collapsed on the ground trying to reach for his sandwich; the Scout runs up the side of a shipping container, jumps off and slams his bat into the Heavy's head.]
[Cuts back to Scout]
Scout: "WOOO!"
[Team Fortress 2 ending flourish music plays]
[Scout sits on the twitching body of the Heavy eating the Heavy's sandwich; the point is now RED.]
Notes
- This video was first shown at the Game Developer's Conference in Feburary of 2008.
- The Scout is much faster than normal in the Well action scenes, and would have been unlikely to pass the Sentry Gun without significant damage.
- The Heavy's emblem on his shoulders has changed from a skull and crossbones (Meet the Heavy) to fists.
- When the Scout pokes the camera during the line "..and brudda', I hurt people" he leaves a fingerprint which stays there for the rest of the video.
- When the Scout curses right before hitting the Heavy on the ground, the "u" in the word is heard quite clearly before the bleep, and the bleep ends just as the "ck" part begins, so the word "Fucking" is actually heard very clearly in the video.
- Body count: 3 (the Scout only kills the Heavy personally though.)
- Ironic Sign: The sign on the stairwell after the Scout dodges the speeding train reads 'Watch Your Step'.
- The RED team runs out of the BLU base to attack the middle Control point.
- The BLU Sentry gun sounds more like a Heavy's minigun, and has a rather wide muzzle flash.
- The sandwich is ham and cheese, accompanied by lettuce and sliced tomatoes and topped with an olive. It was later released as a unlockable secondary weapon for the heavy known as the sandvich.
- The possible reason that the Heavy was out cold after being batted a few times by the Scout is because his health was low at that time. It explains that the Heavy was eating it to restore his health eventhough this update was released a few months after that.
- The beginning action scene is on the map CP Well while the fight with the Heavy Weapons Guy takes place on the middle capture point of CP Granary. The capture point is BLU controlled when the Scout pokes the Heavy in the head and RED controlled after the Scout has defeated the Heavy.
- Around the beginning of the video, when the Scout runs past the middle base. He leaps from a ledge and over onto a train. While in mid-air, he fires his scattergun, which lets off the sound of an Engineer's shotgun, or any other shotgun used in the game.
- The Meet the Scout Video was released 19th April 2008. Current language versions include:
- English
- Russian
- French
- German
- Spanish
