|[''[[Faster Than A Speeding Bullet (Soundtrack)|Faster Than a Speeding Bullet]] plays as the warehouse doors in [[Well (Control Point)|Well]] rise, revealing a crouching [[RED]] [[Scout]] with other members of RED team.'']
  
−
*In the scene where the Scout is talking in front of the "Meet the Scout" text it says "Copyright : LOLOLOL". This is a gag that recurs throughout all of the "Meet the Team" videos besides "Meet the Heavy" (which didn't have the copyright notice) and "Meet the Sandvich" (which had Copyright OM NOM NOM instead).
+
[''The Scout watches various [[BLU]] team members stationed around the center point: an [[Engineer]] industriously making defensive preparations, a smoking [[Spy]], and a [[Soldier]] juggling rockets.'']
  
−
*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. This could have been the first sly nod towards the Scout pack with the [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]].
+
[''Scout pumps his [[Scattergun]] and RED runs out to attack the point.'']
  
−
*The Heavy's emblem on his shoulders has changed from a skull and crossbones ([[Meet the Heavy]]) to [[Fists]].
+
[''The Scout charges into a fierce battle on Well, quickly outpacing all his teammates. 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]]''.]
  
−
*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.
+
[''Meet the Scout's Title Card'']
  
−
*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.
+
[''Scout walks in front of the Meet the Scout text, from off frame.'']
  
−
*'''Body count''': 2 (The Heavy is still alive, as he almost unnoticeably twitches his finger.)
+
'''Scout''': "Um... I-I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to?"
  
−
*RED is attacking from the BLU base in the beginning. An explanation for this could be that they were capturing the BLU warehouse when BLU took the center, nullifying their capture, which happens often in Well.
+
[''Cut to a scene of a BLU [[Heavy]], sitting near the third [[Control Point (objective)|control point]] in [[Granary (Control Point)|Granary]] about to take a bite of a [[Sandvich]], when he is poked in the head by the Scout's [[Bat]].'']
  
−
*'''Amusing Sign''': The sign on the stairwell after the Scout dodges the speeding train reads 'Watch Your Step'.
+
'''Scout''': "Yo, what's up?"
  
−
*The RED team runs out of the BLU base to attack the middle Control point.
+
[''Cuts back to Scout in front of text.'']
  
−
*The BLU [[Sentry Gun]] sounds more like a Heavy's [[Minigun]], and has a rather wide muzzle flash.
+
'''Scout''': "D-Do you have any idea, ''any idea'' who I am?"
  
−
*The sandwich is ham, bologna 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]].
+
[''Back to Heavy and Scout, who are in a fistfight while yelling. Cuts back to Scout.'']
  
−
*In the game, the [[Sandvich]] replaces the Heavy's [[Shotgun]], but in this video the [[Heavy]] is actually shown holding both at the same time.
+
'''Scout''': "Basically - kind of a big deal!"
  
−
*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 even though this update was released a few months after that. This could also be a sly nod to the upcoming (at the time) [[Sandman]] and its ability to stun other players.
+
[''Back to fight. Scout is strangling Heavy with his Bat.'']
  
−
*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.
+
'''Scout''': [''flexes a scrawny arm''] "Oh man, that's beautiful. Heh!"
  
−
*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 that all of the Shotguns in the game make.
+
[''Cut back to fight, Heavy now has the Scout in a headlock. Cuts back to Scout.'']
  
−
*When the train passes in front of him, the Scout switches from his Scattergun to the Bat instantaneously.
+
'''Scout''': " Ya' listenin'? OK. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha'- [''pokes the camera''] I hurt people."
  
−
*The level 1 Sentry Gun seen just when the door opens seems to get closer to the ramp when taking a closer look.
+
[''Cut back to fight,  The Scout whacks the Heavy in the gut with his Bat.'']
  
−
*The train appears to have carriages when in-game it does not.
+
'''Scout''': "BOINK!"
  
−
*The [[Force-A-Nature]] weapon is named for the Scout's description of himself in this video.
+
[''Cuts back to Scout.'']
  
−
*Usually the Scout has the mic on his headset lowered, yet when he starts the interview, it is above the brim of his hat. It then switches back and forth several times over the course of the video. The Scout is also seen with the mic in this position in [[Meet the Spy]].
+
'''Scout''': "I'm a force a' nature!"
  
−
*The [[Faster Than A Speeding Bullet (Soundtrack)|Faster Than A Speeding Bullet]] track first played in this video, after which it was patched into the game as main menu music.  
+
[''Scout hits the Heavy in the chin.'']
  
−
*The Scout's line about himself could have been taken from the boxing champion Muhammed Ali's quote "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."
+
'''Scout''': "BONK!"
  
−
*Just before the Scout enters the warehouse where the train barrels through, he runs past the Soldier and Pyro he had seen earlier. The Pyro also attempts to kill the Scout with a burst of flame. Listen carefully.
+
[''Cuts back to Scout.'']
  
−
*The battle cries from the Scout and Heavy in their fight are also the Scout and Heavy's death and injury cries.
+
'''Scout''': "If ''you'' were from where ''I'' was from, you'd be f**kin' dead!"
  
−
*When the Scout is hitting the Heavy with his bat for the final time, the video cuts before the bat actually touches the Heavy's head, even though the hit sound is played.
+
[''Cuts back to fight; Heavy is collapsed on the ground trying to reach for his Sandvich; the Scout runs up the side of a shipping container, jumps off and slams his Bat into the Heavy's head.'']
  
−
*When the RED team rushes out of their spawn, a Medic can be seen running with a Syringe Gun equipped. Strange behavior for a Medic, who would normally be healing his team.
+
[''Cuts back to Scout.'']
  
−
*You can see the [[Sandvich]] on the floor when the [[Scout]] dodged the first punch of the [[Heavy]] beside the [[Control Point]].
+
'''Scout''': "WOOO!"
  
−
*Near the end of the video, the Scout is seen eating the Heavies Sandvich. This may have been a slight hint to the Scout achievement later released called "Dodgers 1, Giants 0".
