ReBoot Season 1 quotes

Matrix

[Walking through cave lair] It's quite a place you got here.

You know Matrix, your friend is right. The Hero Selective IS purposely damaging the system.

Matrix

That doesn't seem very heroic.

No, it's not. Yet, it's the only way we can get the Spectrals to listen to our demans.

Matrix

Why bother, looks like you got the distinct advantage?

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. They're the ones controlling us.

Traitors! You betrayed your race and now your betray your function!

You're the traitors! You betrayed us! So be quite or I'll- [AndrAIa uses spear to block him]

Do nothing! [Frisket growls]

AndrAIa, you must understand! We were like them! Once we were Spectrals!

If this is true, why did you change?

Spectrals are unable to reboot when the games first came, there was no defense. Then a way was found to convert Spectrals into Sprites.

We volunteered. Our mission was to seek out new game cubes and new applications. We boldly went no Spectrals had gone before.

That was five cycles ago! Now we want to go back!

Liar, you were seduced by the flesh and rejected your Spectral state. The games have turned you into barbarians. You no longer belong in the Spectral selective.

But we've grown tired of the games and want to return.

No, your format is to defend the system from the games. Anything else is a wasted of resources and a threat to our existence.

Captain, the Spectral raises several valid and logical points.

Logic?! How can you talk about logic? We're talking about our lives here.

Gigagirl's right! There's no reasoning with them! We have to make them listen!

Unfortunately old friend, I must side with the others.

Captain, might I suggest we all drink for us all. I find a cool shake soothes hot tempers.

Good idea, Boot.

Is it possible they found a way to convert the entire city to game sprite mode?

"Is it possible?" No it's not. The city's firmware and that wouldn't explain Bob or a functioning glitch.

Why didn't you call out to them?

I wanted to, but I couldn't.

So, is this a game or not? Let's reboot and see what happens.

No! I can't. I might reboot his little Enzo.

Little or large, size doesn't matter. I will always love you.

I've worked hard to become what I am. I put that weak little boy behind me! There's nothing of him in me now!

Well, there's only one way to find out.

Okay, let's do it. Reboot! [He becomes a Megabyte avatar, with AndrAIa becoming a Hexadecimal avatar and Frisket becoming a Scuzzy avatar]

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered! My life is my own! YOU WON'T HOLD ME!

TELL ME! WHO IS NUMBER ONE?!

Megabyte

I am Number One. I am the driving force in your life. I am hatred! I drive you on and consume you.

NO...!

*I* am Number One. I care for no one.

Matrix

That's not true, I love AndrAIa!

No, you don't, you love only yourself. [Mockingly] Just looking out for Number One.

Matrix

No, not you!

I am Number One, the original. Do you think this is a game? DO YOU?!

Matrix

[Confused] But how? You're me!

But you hate me. You must! Look at what you've become!

Matrix

You're wrong! I had to become bigger! Tougher. I had to be ready for Megabyte, to survive the games!

Did you like the games more than Mainframe? More than your family?

Matrix

No! No, I didn't! I was trapped in the games!

Games, games, games. "It was only a game!" YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!

Matrix

MY FAMILY!

YOU'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR FAMILY! You've let yourself become a prisoner of the games! What would Bob think of you now?

Matrix

[Softly] Bob...

There can be only one. [Holds the ball in front of his right eye] Be seeing you.

[Megabyte/Matrix hovers down in a tri bike to meet Hexadecimal/AndrAIa] That's a nice bike.

What is it with you and bikes? [Hexadecimal/AndrAIa shrugs] They didn't believe me. Why should they? I, Megabyte did nothing to prove otherwise.

What's wrong with being Megabyte?

How can you say that? Everything about Megabyte is wrong!

Is it really? The strength, the control, the power. Isn't that everything, you wanted?

Yeah, that is what I wanted, but not like this. Not at the expense of Bob and others. I gotta make them see that I'm sincere. I have to prove that I'm Enzo. Even if I have to [extends his claws] delete them all to do it.

[Mopping up tourist seeing boat] Ugh, how many times do I have to say it, if you feel the need to vomit, don't. UGH!

[Walks up with Frisket] Hello, I'd like to book passage with you.

Do you have a strong constitution? My last group didn't.

We can hold our own.

Okay, you got your authorization codes?

What do you mean?

Well, I can't take you anywhere without authorization codes.

But we have to get back to Mainframe!

Internet travel is restricted, where you been? Playing games?

Well, yes, actually. Wait a nano, who restricted travel?

Well, you have been out of the loop haven't you? The guardians did! [Camera dramtically zooms to AndrAIa's shocked face]

Why would the guardians restrict net travel?

Something about controlling the known net.

We are talking about the same guardians, right? To mend and defend?

Yes, the same guardians. But now it's divide and render for their own cause.

Do you know of anyone who can help us?

I do, but they're all in that prison, [motions to hilltop complex] locked up in a waiting deletion courtesy of the guardians.

What did you say your format was again?

I'm a search engine. [AndrAIa and glance at each other, Maxine chuckles] I'll explain. [Flashes of gunfire seen in village] What in the net?!

Matrix, gotta go!

And I thought I loved excitement.

[Arrives to battle scarred village street with two sprites hovering down with guns drawn, to Frisket] Don't you just hate these little delays?

What took you so long?

I came as fast as I could.

And my men?

Don't ask. [Frisket growls] He was wondering if your drone has a personality chip! [Drone jumps in alarm and darts away]

I come from the Net. I search through systems, peoples, and cities, for this sprite! Bob, my friend. My format: I have no format. I am a renegade, lost in the Web.

Maybe we should turn ourselves in. It could be our only chance to show a profit!

[Frisket just leapt toward the Captain and he froze him with his sword, Frisket's teeth showing] Glory be! I know those teeth! [Matrix and AndrAIa round the corner] Bail up, ye knave, or I'll-

Matrix

Gavin, wait!

How do ye know me true name?

Matrix

I'm Matrix. Enzo Matrix. Dot's brother?

Not little Enzo!

Matrix

Not any more... They call me Matrix.

Okay, Matrix... Where's me dear friend, Dot? Is she with ye? By the code, how I've missed her!

Matrix

So have I...

And Bob?

Matrix

He's in the Web.

The Web?! He be done for!

Matrix

No! I know he would have found a way to survive!

And you be?

AndrAIa.

[Takes her hand to kiss] Matrix has exquisite taste me lovely lady. [Kisses hand]

Matrix

You're a charming rogue, Gavin.

Thank you, Menzel. Back in your pardon, Frisket! [Unfreezes Frisket who growls at Capacitor]

Matrix

Easy, boy.

Shiver me templates! It really is Enzo! I've had me doubts lad, but that settles it! But how ?

Matrix

Game hopping. You compile faster. We were lost in the net and did it to survive. [Turns to AndrAIa] No regrets. [To Capacitor] Captain, we need your ship.

Then you'd best look elsewhere. The guardian's lap dogs have seized me ship and taken me crew prisoner! [A hovering screen reveals a ransom for Capacitor and his first officer] Don't pay any attention1

Matrix

10,000 units! What'd you do?

Well, when Mainframe closed down, we tried to open honest trade routes with other systems, for some reason, the guardians took exception to that. We've been on the run ever since.

Captain, we need your help into the web.

I'd be glad to try for God's sake, but why the web?

Matrix

I told you, that's where Bob is, we have to find him. He's our only way back in the Mainframe.

Well I can't do it without me crew, they're being held in yonder prison.

And there's no way of breaking them out.

Ah, but now you have a secret weapon. Something they aren't expecting. Something that can't be stopped.

And what would that be?

Matrix

Me.

[Runs up to shut door with Matrix taps on gate opening code pad] Job blasted mock-up codes!

Matrix

My turn. [Fires at code pad, with gate doors opening slightly]

[To two hovering police patrols] Hey bits for braid, how many CPUs does it take to catch one sprite?! [Police patrols open fire at AndrAIa fleeing]

Matrix, a shot over here.

Matrix

[Fires directly at Ray to open locker door with Ray sprite narrowly missing] Next time, it's your head.

[Hops on levitating surf board] Well, a good day to you all, I'm riding the grid waves out here. You want my advice, head straight to the edge of the arm, they'll never catch you there. [Flies away]

Matrix

Told you he was useless! Move out!

It's the density of the data, sir. I don't know how long the scanners will hold out, sir.

What have we gotten ourselves into?

It's like navigating through an invisible lake of soup, sir.

Don't worry boy, she'll hold together.
