==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Gather 'round for another ''{opening titles enter}'' Skills of an Artist!

''{Opening titles fade, music begins}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''  This week, it's diskette time! Let's go! We know how this works.

''{Strong Bad draws the left and top of a wobbly-sided, slightly tilted square}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're gonna do a nice, lovely square.

''{Strong Bad detours in the top-right corner to draw an inward tab}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Over here we got a little tiny mouth.

''{Strong Bad continues his square downwards}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tiny robot mouth.

''{Strong Bad closes the square}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come back over here. Look at that. Diskette. Already taking shape.

''{Strong Bad adds a rounded rectangle in the upper left corner of the square}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A rounded rectangle up here. ''{Strong Bad adds two horizontal lines}'' in the top left corner of the diskette. Some lines there. To put your detailed information. All the different files that you could fit on this massive storage system.

''{Strong Bad draws a circle in the center of the diskette}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And and here comes the washer-mouth. ''{Strong Bad adds another circle inside the first}'' In the middle there. Hoooooah! Look at him singin'. ''{Indicating the label in the corner}'' He's wearing a pirate eyepatch of those Venetian blinds shades that Dangeresque Too wears, you know what I'm sayin'?

''{Strong Bad adds a vertical oval shape below the circle in the center}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then here's his little chin-dimple down here. Oh, hello little chin-dimple. Look at that diskette. He's adorable! Now we've gotta give him some 80's magazine advertising magic.

''{Strong Bad starts at the top-right corner of the diskette and draws a wavy line leading right toward the edge of the page}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, it's like... a rainbow trail coming off the back there.

''{Strong Bad draws another wavy line starting from the bottom left corner of the diskette running right, creating a wavy trail behind the diskette}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhh, rainbow trail. And let's give it some stripes.

''{Strong Bad draws a wavy line parallel to the top wavy line accompanied vvvvrt sound, then a second one, then a third.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And let's see, over here of course you gotta have{{--}}

''{Strong Bad draws a series of diagonal lines jutting out from the bottom left corner of the diskette}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''  {{--}}that futuristic laser grid{{--}} 

''{Strong Bad now draws a series of lines perpendicular to the ones he just drew, creating a grid}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''  {{--}}extending into infinity. So futuristic. And the last thing is some radical 3D shapes.

''{Cut to a close-up of the diskette. Strong Bad draws a cone to the left of it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, like, floating cone ''{shading the cone}'' in the middle of the air. Oh, that's radical.

''{Cut to a close-up, this time on the right side of the diskette. Strong Bad draws an incomplete circle behind the rainbow trail}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And, maybe like a ''{adding shading}'' sphere. Get the shading right, ''{adding a circle inside the sphere as a "shiny"}'' make sure it looks spherical.

''{Cut to the whole drawing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at how 3D...! This diskette... it's the data storage of the future!

''{Indicating the tiny "robot mouth"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumble-acting}'' Oh, please don't put a foil piece of tape over this for the copy protection! There's no WAAAY I'm just going to rent this game from the video store and diskcopy A-colon B-colon and put the tape back on!

''{Strong Bad pauses}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Copy protection!

''{Rhombus transition to a navy field where a green laser grid, yellow cone and a crimson sphere float into view. A diskette graphic is floating in leaving a rainbow trail with orange, blue, pink and green stripes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, electronic-filtered}'' Diskettes... are the storage medium... of the future!

''{The figures snap into place as arranged in Strong Bad's drawing. Text reading "DISKETTES!" slides in from the bottom right corner of the frame followed by action stripes.}''
