''{Open to Strong Bad's glove against the usual paper background, with just a beat playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sensitive viewers may wish to look away. Because on this week's ''{title appears}'' Skills of an Artist, we're going to draw: LARGE BEAN!

''{Dramatic music sting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I make drawing... legumes!

''{Second music sting. The background music changes to Large Bean's theme.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright. Let's go. Start with a chubby crescent moon. ''{starts drawing a bean shape}'' Rrrrrr, chub it out. Oh, that's a chubby crescent moon. And now we do this epicotyledon... there... ''{draws concentric rings at the midpoint of the bean}'' you know? Earth science? Okay, and now, for his terrorizing arms, we do a little inverted seventies mom hair... ''{draws a curved line out from the bottom of the bean}'' 'Kay, and over here, another one— ''{draws a mirroring curved line on the other side}'' seventies mom hair. Look at that, she's goin' out... on a night on a town. ''{draws curved lines back from the first two, creating the look of two upraised tentacle arms}'' Rrrrt, come bring it back in. Rrrrt. And now, Large Bean only buys thrift store dress shirts! ''{draws curved lines for the sides of the shirt}'' So let's bring it down here on the side... And he doesn't tuck them in! So we're gonna do a fishtail-fishmouth. ''{closes off the bottom of the shirt with an upward-arrow}'' Look at that. Look at that. And now, consummate. ''{draws two v-shapes from the bottom of the bean to resemble a shirt collar}'' Consummate. ''{adds three buttons with a "doot-doot-doot" sound}'' And, upside-down house. ''{draws a quick hexagonal pocket on the left side of the shirt, adding a line for the hem}'' For the pocket. Oh man. This bean is so large! He looms so large!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, and now, as he creeps toward you— ''{draws an angular left leg bent sharply at the knee, sticking out in a bizarre direction from the shirt}'' look at this, he's creepin' so hard... ''{adds a foot and makes a sound, then draws a similarly-bent right leg}'' And these... ''{fills the legs in with black}'' black slacks that he actually got... at a department store! He spent more money on these slacks than he did on the shirt! Large Bean!

''{Dramatic music sting; the music changes back to the normal Skills of an Artist theme}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, would you look at that? Teeny Beanie Weeny is jumpin' for joy! Like he just won a new car commercial!

''{The Skills of an Artist theme and Large Bean's theme alternate as Homestar and Strong Bad speak}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No he's not! He's menacing some... innocent... coeds!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No no, Strong Bad. That right there is a joyous bean.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'll show you joyous bean! Just look at what's sitting right next to him. ''{draws the outline of an object right of Large Bean, with a round top and flat bottoms}'' Oh, you guys, you won't even believe it. ''{adds an edge, then a handle}'' It's one o' those old-timey suitcases! ''{adds various shaped stickers to the sides of the suitcase}'' With the travel stickers on it!

''{Dramatic music sting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man! Large Bean! You leave Des Moines alone! Stay out of the Wisconsin Dells! ''{draws a tag sticking out of the side of the suitcase over Homestar's line}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno, man. Looks like a joyous bean to me.
