Bob quotes from ReBoot

No matter where they ran, where they turned, there was simply... No... WAY... OUT!

Log off, Mike!

IT SLICES! DICES! Cuts! Copies! Pastes! And even formats julienne fries! But wait there's more: act now and we'll port you the handy log-o-matic absolutely free for only 99.99.99!

Ahhh! Mike! For the 128 time, stop!

Can't we just turn him off?

I can't. His remote control ran away.

Dot

Can you blame it?

It's Bucket-o-nothing! Surprise your friends, amaze your family, annoy perfect strangers! Free for only $99.99.99!

That's it! You're getting dismantled! Glitch, screwdriver. [Mike screams away]

What?! A Thief?! I'm not the warrior? Haha. Ha. I'm always a warrior.

Well, if you're not the warrior, but, who is?

Dun da da DUUUUUUUNNNNN...! Mike The Mighty Warrior! Tonight at 8.

[Bob looks at Mike]] This is bad. Very bad!

No, Not, Never, Nine, No way, Ixnay on the "S" part, Negatory!

You can come with us on one condition: stay outta our way, OK?

[As John Wayne] Guaranteed to work behind the scenes, so you don't have to, pilgrim. [Aside, to 4th wall] Outta sight or your money back!

Dot

Are you alright?

What happened?

I don't it's like I lost total control of my body! It was kind of cool!

Dot

I don't like this at all.

Me either, come on, let's take him to see Phong.

A most intriguing tale. Dancing on Al's counter you say? It reminds me of an old fie my parents used to tell me. It concerned a sprite who went a little random one upgrade. He had this very long beard.

Uh, Phong, maybe you could perform some tests, to figure out what's wrong?

Ah, yes. A wise idea my son. Hmm. [Grabs Enzo's head and rams an otoscope into Enzo's ear and peers in]

Dot

Well?

What is it?

Hack and Slash are inside of Enzo's head!

Hack and Slash?

Dot

In Enzo's head?

Are you sure?

Oh, yes. And it seems they are in the process of taking over Enzo's brain! Although for what purpose, I cannot be sure.

Dot

Well, we have to get them out! We have to do something.

Do you have a data compression command?

I've got an old BPeg.

Right, I'm going in.

You're smoked, Bob!

In your dreams, birthday boy!

This game is too old! It's boring!

Come on, Enzo, you gotta takes games seriously. Who knows? One day you might end up in... The Fun House! (looks around nervously)

There's no such thing as the Fun House. That's just a stupid story.

That's not true. I knew a sprite in the Supercomputer whose best friend's cousin got caught in the Fun House, and lived to tell about it.

Sure, Bob, I believe you....

Oh yeah? Well, it's never too late to brush up on the basics.

Speaking of basic, have you seen the User?

What's it doing?

I don't think it's learned how to drive yet.

Well, would you please do everyone a favour and put it out of its misery? Come on, Enzo, show me your stuff!

Megabyte

Attention, inhabitants of sector 1-0-0-0: Your struggle for independence is over. I'd like to take this opportunity to personally thank my friend, Dot Matrix, for delivering this sectors PID's to me with such a cunning and insightful plan. You will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts.

In your dreams, Megadump! I think Megabyte's popped a motherboard, what's he talking about anyway?

Dot

Oh no... Oh no!

What is it? What's wrong? [Sees flashing folder on Dot's organizer] File removed?! That's impossible!

Dot

No... It's gone! Everything.... The PIDS, their lives, their dreams... All gone...

Oh boy... Phong, the PID file has been removed somehow!

....Did you say removed, as in not erased?

Dot

That's right, Phong. Removed. Their lives are ruined and it's all my fault! It's all my fault... If only I knew what went wrong.

Megabyte

As for the rest of you, prepare yourselves for a...career change. [Chuckles] You're all mine now...

You look perplexed.

Dot

What did you do to me? Was that a dream?

It was, shall we say, a reflection of yourself. What did you see?

Dot

I saw someone who let everybody down because she gave up. She didn't even try. Only it was me.

You learn well, my child.

Nice going, Dot! You beat the Fun House! I knew you wouldn't let me down! Phong, what are you doing here?

Dot

It's a long story.

Okay, mister, first thing's first, release my friend, now!

Very well.

All that's left is to ride it out. You know, I'm gonna miss these games. And my friends.

You would give your own life for them?

Yeah. You know, tradition.

Out of my way, Guardian!

You'll have to take me first.

Dot

Copy that.

And triple copy it!

You mean this old binome is so important that you would give up your very codes for him?

Yeah. Call it a Mainframe tradition.

Throughout the entire net, I have never witnessed such a blatant, contemptous display of-

Friendship?

Honour.

Hey Bob, what are games like in the supercomputer?

Huh. Well, they're a lot faster and a lot harder. Some games are networked too.

You mean more than one Mainframe?

That's right, Enzo, there are more systems out there than you can imagine.

Megabyte

My portal!

Enzo, are you alright?

Bob.... I saw the supercomputer!

Dot

Uh...guys? [Is in Hack and Slash's clutches]

You owe me one, Megabyte.

Megabyte

....Let them go.

But sir-!

Megabyte

I said let them go! [Bob, Enzo and Dot leave] Now we are even, Guardian. Now we are even...

You nearly got us nullified! I can't believe you did that!

Bob!

Dot

Hey, Bob. Problems?

You could say that. These two booted into the game and tried to win it by setting off an explosion capable of destroying a planet!

Dot

Bad idea.

Yes. Especially when you're INSIDE THE PLANET! Why'd you do it?

I had to, mister!

And all he did was keep saying "Make it so!"

And "engage!" I said "engage" more times than "make it so," actually.
