Phong quotes from ReBoot

[Voiceover] What you are experiencing is a temporary distortion of reality.

You have what you need. Now use his greed....

Principal Office airlines at your service. Please take your seats and fasten your safety belts!

What does someone have to do to get a cup of cocoa around here?!

Oh thank the User! We are saved!

It's just awful. Those two are gonna crash us all.

Copy and paste that!

We gotta do something!

Dot won't talk to Bob. Bob won't talk to Dot. What can we do?!

[Jumps on Phong's desk] Bob and Dot, Dot and Bob! May lay and Mainframe! When will it end?! Will Bob give up?! Will Bob flee to the supercomputer?!

Leave Mainframe?!

Super computer?!

Get back?!

[Mike the TV jumps off desk] Calmness, everyone. Now listen. It is said that broken friendship is best mended by tragedy or apology.

Wow, alphanumeric. Deep. What do you mean exactly, Phong?

I have no idea, child. But you must ponder my words.

Tragedy or apology. Hmm. Dude. That might actually work.

Dot

What do you mean, they're offline?!

[Via Vid Window] All of them, the com-net, the vid-net, the ethernet, they're all down, already 12 blocks! I was talking to another precinct chief on level two, and she just-- [loses contact]

Dot

Chief?! Come in! Chief! Phong, something's wrong! The whole Kits Sector is going offline, one block at a time!

Yes, child, I know, my links have blacked out as well! It started at the docks!

Dot

I'm there!

Hey, wait up!

I will do what I can from here! Please, be most careful!

Would everybody just chill? Remember? Bob's apartment is in Kits! Whatever's happening there, I'm sure he's on top of it!

Perhaps you will try later, my son. As you know, I can only download wisdom to those who beat me at my game.

Of course I'd lose, I'm as Basic as Basic can get! I'm low-res, downsized, erasable, hardly worth a backup! Someone should undo me, and--

Enzo!

Yes?

[Sighs] Come. You did not win my game, but maybe I can help anyway. I'm not supposed to let anyone, I mean, ANYONE in here... but, if you promise not to touch ANYTHING... I will show you something.

Really?! Alphanumeric! I promise!

[Sighs] "YADDA-YADDA-YADDA."

Whoa! Double-sided! Super-cooled! The city's Read-Only room. A storehouse of all information since the very beginning of Mainframe. Whoa! Pixelatious!

And my favourite way to become smarter, by reading. If you promise not to touch anything, other than this window, you may stay in this room, and scan the files in memory.

Okay, cool! I wanna scan every README file in the system.

Processing request.

When you finish, just come out this door. Be careful, young Enzo. Remember, that anything worthwhile takes time.

Yeah, but the faster I go, the more I'll know. Thanks, Phong! I'll show 'em how smart I am... I'll store every byte of data in here!

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.

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...

Dot

It's all up to me... Just like it was before and I blew it. I ruined it for everybody. [Phong startles her while he enters the game] Phong? What are you doing here?

I want to show you something. ['Earplugs Dot with a flashing device]

Dot

Phong? Phong? [Low pitching her voice] Phong? Phoooong...?

Game over, the user wins. Game over... [Low pitching its voice] User wins. Game over. [Low pitching into slow speed] Game over. (3x)

Dot

Phong, is that you?

Eh? Who's that?

Dot

It's me, Phong. It's Dot.

....Ohhh yes! Welcome, welcome! Tell me, how is your president? I have a present for her! I know it's here somewhere...

Dot

Look, Phong, do you know where Bob is?

......Bob? Oh... Oh yes, yes, yes, he is here too! [Dives into his box and starts flinging junk out] Bob, where are you my little friend? Oh, here he is! You were hiding, weren't you? Bad Bob, bad Bob! [Emerges with a blue Null in a cage] No one believes me, but truly, Bob here used to be a great Guardian! Ah, he was something back then... Ehh, but those times are gone. Cute little fellow, no?

Dot

No! No, that's not Bob! It can't be! Oh, what have I done? I lost the game and I destroyed Mainframe! I didn't even try. If only I could have another chance...

Chance has nothing to do with it, child. The future is not determined by a throw of the dice. It is determined by the conscious decisions of you and me.

Dot

What? What did you say?

Oh, would you like to see my windshield collection? I have many kinds!

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.

Very strange...the signal is being emitted from Lost Angles!

Megabyte!

Hexadecimal, Bob.

What? Right, Hexadecimal. Did I say Megabyte?

You're prepared for a monster made entirely out of nulls stomping around Mainframe?

That is correct!

....How do you plan for that?

Uh... Lucky guess?
