ReBoot quotes

I am Guardian four five two. State your name and function.

I am become Gigabyte, destroyer of Systems!

Not this System, bub.

It's working, Phong. In a few more nanos, he'll be too far from the city to get back, and there's nowhere left for him to get energy from-

[Screams and gibbers as Gigabyte bleeds him dry]

Apart from us!!

Slash

Hack! Oh, Hack, speak to me! Wake up!...Drain my friend of energy?! I DON'T THINK SO! [Uppercuts Gigabyte, knocking him back to Mainframe]

You IDIOT! Look what you've done!

Slash

What? He hurt my friend...

Phong? ...Cancel everything I just said. Gigabyte's back in town. I'm on my way. Slash! C'mere!

This is your last line of defence? Two small sprites?

Two small sprites! That's right! A girl...

A boy...

And his dog!

Get him, Frisket!

Mouse

[Lifts and look at Glitch] That's strange. Did you track it?

Dot

Hey, guys! We did it! Chalk went up for the good guys!

Maybe so, I still think there's something rotten at the heart of Mainframe.

[Dumps trash bag in alley dumpster] Garbage in, garbage out, isn't that right Al?

[Repeated and only line] WHAT?!

When I was just a little node, I saw my sister taken by a strange creature. It had fangs...just like Mouse.

Excuse me, but is your partner completely random?

Not completely...

Okay, why didn't it take you too then?

I don't know... I was reading comic bytes in bed. When I peeked out from under the covers I saw something hovering over my sister. And I pointed my flashlight at it and a moment later, it...and my sister...were gone. I'll never forget the noise it made.

I don't want to seem insensitive, but next you'll be telling me you've seen the User.

There is no User. That's just induced mass psychosis engineered by the Guardians.

What? But what about the games?

Sent by the Guardians to promote the User myth.

Another conspiracy theory, Modem?

One of many.

So let me get this straight... There's a web creature, posing as Mouse, loose in Mainframe, abducting sprites, for what purpose?

I haven't worked that out yet.

Okay. And Guardians are control freaks willing to sacrifice the very people they're sworn to protect by dropping games on them?

That's correct.

Tell me, did Phong interview you personally for this job? Didn't think so.

We're all agreed, then. Releasing codes, now. [Presses the trackball button to release]

I'd like to be alone for this one. Bob and I go back a long way.

That's the best I can do. Good luck, Bob. I'm so sorry, Mouse...

You see, Nully, the web is out there.

No, Modem, it's here.

Dot

What do you think? Does it make me look too butch?

Mouse

Nah. Listen, while I'm workin' on the codes with Megabyte....well....you'll watch my back, won't ya?

Dot

What do you think this is for?

Cadet Matrix!

Bob?

Why aren't you in uniform? You know how serious things are. It's time you got suited up.

What?!

[Whispering] Just follow me on this one. *ahem* Due to the current crisis we're all facing, I am invoking emergency code 95-1-0. Enzo, give me your icon.

Okay...

[Downloads code from his own icon to Enzo's] Command line - icon. Download Guardian protocol to version 1.0. Enzo Matrix, there is a huge responsibility in taking the Guardian badge of office. Do you accept?

Yes sir!

By the power vested in me, I give you a field commission as Guardian, first level.

[Taps his icon, changing his clothes to a Guardian uniform] Thanks, Bob!

No, Enzo. You've really earned this. You'll be transferred to the super computer to attend the academy and become a full-fledged Guardian like me. I know you'll make me proud.

Dot

[Via communicator] Bob, we're at the Tor. Megabyte, Mouse, Hexadecimal and I are ready to go. [Pause] I can't believe I just said that!

OK, let's do it. Guardian Enzo?

Yes sir?

This is it. Should anything happen to me, I am charging you with defence of this system. [To AndrAIa] And look after him, will you? [He flies off the Principal Office with the zip board]

You look cool, Enzo!

Awe... Thanks, AndrAIa. [To Bob] And thanks, Bob.

Megabyte

Mouse....

Mouse

I'm workin' as fast as I can! Just tell the witch to be ready.

Hexadecimal

I heard that! What a sweet thing to say! Charges the hardware up]

We've gotta do this now! What's taking so long?

Mouse

That's it! I've broken their code!

Hexadecimal

The hardware is fully charged!

Megabyte

Excellent. Now it's my turn.... [surreptitiously extends his claws]

Okay, everyone, get ready! We're going to shut the portal!

Megabyte

[Suddenly destroys Dot's cannon for his betrayal] Not just yet, Guardian.

Gli-! [Megabyte gagged Bob, takes Glitch and crushes it]

Megabyte

Now! [Herr Doctor presses the button to initiate the missile and Megabyte flings Bob into the missile]

Megabyte, you won't get away with this!

Megabyte

No time to talk now, Bob. [To Herr Doctor] Launch!

Mouse

[Draws her katana at Megabyte] One more step and I'll subdivide you. [Hexadecimal knocks her out of the way] What?!

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dot

BOB!

Bob... Bob, come in!

Dot

He can't hear you, Phong.

Dot, Mouse, where is Bob? What is happened?!

Dot

It's bad, Phong, very bad. [Gives broken Glitch to Enzo] I'm sorry.

No... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [Crying]

Megabyte

Phong. Drop all defences on the Principal Office, and welcome to Megaframe...

Hexadecimal

I love it when he talks like that.

We will fight you to the last, Megabyte!

Megabyte

You have no defences, you fools! Your Guardian is lost! Nothing can stand in our way. Mainframe is ours.

WRONG! We do have a Guardian! Guardian, your keytool. Remember what Bob said.

[Attaches Glitch to arm] I am Guardian Matrix, charged with defending this system. Two viruses take over my home? I don't think so!

Megabyte

I come from the Net. Infecting systems, people, and cities, to this place—Megaframe, my domain. My format: Virus. To corrupt and conquer!

Undead before I dawn! Undead before i dawn!
