ReBoot

( ReBoot - 1x01: The Tearing: SDH-EN )

-BOB, V.O.: I come from the net,

through systems, peoples, and cities,

to this place.

Mainframe.

My format, Guardian.

To mend and defend.

To defend my new-found friends,

their hopes and dreams.

To defend them from...

their enemies.

They say the user lives outside the net,

and inputs games for pleasure.

No one knows for sure...

but I intend to find out.

ReBoot!

There he is!

No, no no! Look both ways!

Ah! Look out! He's gettin' away!

Okay! Ohh!

Chaaaaarge!

Low clock-speed or what?

He's... uh... enveloped!

Yeah, he's confined!

Confined? He's...

He's trapped! He's trapped!

He's trapped! Yeah! He's trapped!

I don't think so.

I hate when this happens, I do too.

It's like a reckoning! I know, it's like...

It's your fault, and I hate it!

My arm, where's my arm?

-( thud ) Ow!

Sorry guys.

End program.

Better luck next cycle.

Bob...

all I ask is a simple favour,

and you put us through all this?

Why...?

-Because I never do favours for slime?

I dunno, it's just a theory.

-You're only making things difficult

for your friends.

My friends?

What do they have to do with anything?

Think about it.

Ahh...

Bob!

We need you at Dot's!

It's terrible!

There's a new one...

Dot's is down.

Riiight...

-CECIL, FRENCH ACCENT: Ze situation, she is ridiculous!

I am a dedicated server,

not a maid!

Ever heard of the door?

Ever heard of a Frisket?

Bob!

We tried to quit-file 'em, dude!

But it was seriously default!

A major surge of goons showed up at the diner

and started to completely offline the place!

I mean, jack-out! Crash, crunch,

backslash, delete,

trash, log-off!

Enzo... What?

-I think Bob gets the picture.

That's for sure!

What I want to know, is who, and why.

It's gotta be Megabyte.

He did it to get to me.

But I'll take care of it.

It's my problem.

If Megabyte wants something, Bob,

it's everybody's problem.

Yeah, what's up?

Tell us, Bob!

Yeah, we'll help!

I can deal with it.

Yeah, but I can't deal with the downtime.

Come on, Bob,

What is it?

-Megabyte wants some 'little favour',

He didn't say what.

Just a little favour, huh?

Maybe you SHOULD do it,

if it means we can stay online.

No way.

Look, this isn't the supercomputer.

Around here, we Mainframers stick together,

and when it comes to Megabyte,

the answer is always no.

Here here!

Copy and paste that!

Okay, okay,

No favours for Mister Mega-virus.

I'm gonna file myself right here

to make sure he doesn't trash this place again.

Can I help, Bob, huh?

This'll be cool!

We'll show em what you Guardians are made of!

We'll edit, backslash, and cancel his command!

I'm not afraid of old Mega-breath!

Bail!

My, my, what a messy establishment.

But we're still in business.

Why don't you place an order...

to GO.

Such hostility.

I only want to know if there's ANYTHING I can do

to help the cleanup effort...

Hmm...?

You could erase yourself.

That would help.

Charming.

You know, Bob,

all you have to do is input one small favour,

and I might be able to keep this from happening again.

No promises, of course.

-Don't concern yourself, Megabyte,

I'm staying right here to make sure nothing else happens.

I may be the new sprite in town, but...

-What a fortunate return of events.

Warning, incoming game.

Warning, incoming game.

-As usual, they'll all do so badly inside the game.

How gratifying.

I want three legions in the sector to watch for Bob.

He'll try and get in.

Oh, your evil eminence! Oh, you bet!

Yes, yes sir! Yes sir, your Megabyted-ness!

Oh, we bow before thee! Oh, beautiful, we're not worthy.

Sorry, Bob,

you can't play any games

until you finish your work for me.

I've gotta get into that game.

Bob, wait!

Hey!

I had a feeling Megabyte's thugs would be here.

-BOB, DAZED: Did I make it...?

Oh...

No... No...

No...!

Can they win without Bob?

I hope...

Game Over...

the User wins.

Game Over.

The User wins.

The whole sector's nullified!

Offline!

They lost!

It wasn't your fault...

There was nothing you...

or we could do.

-If I had just done Megabyte his little favour,

none of this would have happened!

Wait.

Before you do anything,

Why don't you talk to Phong?

Alright...

Ah... begin!

Hmm...!

Ah, you've won,

and proven yourself worthy of my advice.

What did you need?

Well, Megabyte has asked me to do him a...

"favour".

Ah, Megabyte.

My advice is to stay away from him.

but he's a very clever virus.

Yeah, I'm finding that out.

He has bad file servers

in almost every sector.

What is this 'favour' he wants?
