Transcript
{A static shot shows two Videlectrix programmers working at an old Apple IIe computer, one with a Wiimote and the other waving a mouse.}
FIRST PROGRAMMER: I don't understand; they said it would work with all the latest systems.
SECOND PROGRAMMER: Yeah, I heard, but I don't think this is— this system is the lat... est.
FIRST PROGRAMMER: This is a top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art, art computer.
SECOND PROGRAMMER: I— I think I was born after this computer.
FIRST PROGRAMMER: {angrily} Oh, that is it. One more crack like that and you will never graphic in this business again!
SECOND PROGRAMMER: {apologetically} Oh— Okay, I'm sorry. Wo—
FIRST PROGRAMMER: Good or bad!
SECOND PROGRAMMER: Wave it—
FIRST PROGRAMMER: {interrupting} I'll wave it at you!
SECOND PROGRAMMER: {quietly} I'd like that.
