1. I come from the Net,
Copy !req
2. through systems,
peoples and cities
Copy !req
3. to this place, Mainframe.
Copy !req
4. My format, Guardian.
To mend and defend.
Copy !req
5. To defend my
newfound friends,
Copy !req
6. their hopes and dreams.
Copy !req
7. To defend them
from their enemies.
Copy !req
8. They say the User
lives outside the Net
Copy !req
9. and inputs games
for pleasure.
Copy !req
10. No one knows for sure
Copy !req
11. but I intend to find out.
Copy !req
12. Reboot!
Copy !req
13. I'll take him offline.
Copy !req
14. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
15. Run away!
Backspace! Backspace!
Copy !req
16. Look out!
Copy !req
17. Nail him, little brother!
Copy !req
18. You can't undo my sister,
you dipswitch!
Copy !req
19. Yeah! That's the ticket!
I just need a bigger shot!
Copy !req
20. There. Quick! Bring out
the mondo cannonball!
Copy !req
21. Think it's big enough,
Enzo?
Copy !req
22. I got it all processed, Dot.
Copy !req
23. Bigger is better!
We'll chip away at his fort,
Copy !req
24. blast by blast.
Copy !req
25. Aloha, General User!
Copy !req
26. Bummer. I should've
used more powder.
Copy !req
27. Cool. Glitch, stats.
Copy !req
28. Bob! Hurry!
Big cannonballs!
Copy !req
29. Big powder!
It's our only hope!
Copy !req
30. What are you doing?
That won't even
make a dent!
Copy !req
31. Trust me.
Copy !req
32. Game over.
Copy !req
33. Quality shot.
Copy !req
34. Deleted him, huh?
Copy !req
35. Yeah.
Copy !req
36. All right, Bob!
Copy !req
37. Wow! Jacked him out!
What a shot!
Copy !req
38. Multi-tasking
zee large parties?
Copy !req
39. Zis is what I hate.
Copy !req
40. Bob, tell us again
how you beat the User.
Copy !req
41. Yeah! Download us, Bob!
Copy !req
42. Well, I just spotted
his weak sector,
Copy !req
43. calculated the angle,
and fired.
Copy !req
44. And how!
Blasted to bytes!
Copy !req
45. Yeah! Offlined!
Deleted!
Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
46. What's with Enzo?
Is he fully functional?
Copy !req
47. He's been like that
since the game ended.
Copy !req
48. Why so glum, Enzo?
Copy !req
49. I couldn't figure out
how to beat that User.
Copy !req
50. I must be basic.
Copy !req
51. Basic? Whoa, don't
be so rough on yourself.
Copy !req
52. You're just
a little kid, Enzo.
Copy !req
53. You'll get better
as you develop.
Copy !req
54. Yeah, don't worry about it.
It will all come in time.
Copy !req
55. Time! Ha!
Little kid.
Copy !req
56. I don't want
to be smart later,
Copy !req
57. I want to be smart now.
Copy !req
58. Hey...
Copy !req
59. Perhaps you will
try later, my son.
Copy !req
60. As you know, I can only
download wisdom to those
who beat me at my game.
Copy !req
61. Of course I'd lose. I'm
as basic as basic can get.
Copy !req
62. I'm low res.
Downsized. Erasable.
Hardly worth a backup.
Copy !req
63. Someone should
undo me and...
Copy !req
64. Enzo!
Yes?
Copy !req
65. Come. You did
not win my game, but
maybe I can help anyway.
Copy !req
66. I'm not supposed to
let anyone, I mean
anyone, in here.
Copy !req
67. But if you promise
not to touch anything,
Copy !req
68. I will show
you something.
Copy !req
69. Really?
Alphanumeric!
I promise!
Copy !req
70. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Copy !req
71. Whoa! Double-sided,
super-cooled...
Copy !req
72. The city's Read Only Room.
Copy !req
73. A storehouse of all
information since the very
beginning of Mainframe.
Copy !req
74. Whoa!
Pixelacious.
Copy !req
75. And my favorite way to
become smarter, by reading.
Copy !req
76. If you promise not
to touch anything
other than this window,
Copy !req
77. you may stay in this room
and scan the files in memory.
Copy !req
78. Okay, cool! I want to
scan every "read me" file
in the system.
Copy !req
79. Processing request.
Copy !req
80. When you finish,
just come out this door.
Copy !req
81. Be careful, young Enzo.
Copy !req
82. Remember that anything
worthwhile takes time.
Copy !req
83. Yeah, but the faster I go,
the more I'll know.
Copy !req
84. Thanks, Phong!
Copy !req
85. I'll show them
how smart I am.
Copy !req
86. I'll store every byte
of data in here!
Copy !req
87. Cecil? Have you
seen Enzo?
Copy !req
88. What do I look like?
A nanny?
Copy !req
89. I think not.
Copy !req
90. I hope he's okay.
Copy !req
91. I'm sure he's fine.
Copy !req
92. This is gonna take millions
and millions of nanoseconds!
Copy !req
93. This might even take
one whole second!
Copy !req
94. There's got to be
a faster way to get smart.
Copy !req
95. I know! Access information
on speed setting.
Copy !req
96. Processing request.
Copy !req
97. Mainframe's
clockspeed and bit rate
determines how fast
Copy !req
98. sprites can run.
Faster clockspeed
and higher bit rate
Copy !req
99. equals greater
processing power.
Copy !req
100. I just want to be smarter.
Copy !req
101. Smarter than what?
Copy !req
102. Smarter than Bob. No, wait.
Smarter than everyone.
Copy !req
103. How much smarter?
Copy !req
104. Ooh! Twice as much?
Copy !req
105. Processing request.
Copy !req
106. Changes in sprite speed
must be made from
the Clockspeed Room.
Copy !req
107. Okay, but how would
I ever get there?
Copy !req
108. No way! Guided tour.
Copy !req
109. Coolness!
Copy !req
110. Hello?
Copy !req
111. Welcome to the Mainframe
Clockspeed Room.
Copy !req
112. Do you wish to be
twice as smart as
everyone now or later?
Copy !req
113. Now!
Copy !req
114. Processing request.
Copy !req
115. Whoa, what's happening?
Copy !req
116. Hey. I'm not any
faster.
Copy !req
117. Oh, crash it all.
Copy !req
118. Dude, everything's
gone eight-bit!
Copy !req
119. What happened?
Copy !req
120. Phong? Phong?
Copy !req
121. There you are!
Hey, where did
all the colors go?
Copy !req
122. Looks like they're all
here to me. Do I know you?
Copy !req
123. Has he gone low
density, or what?
Copy !req
124. I bet a game cube fell
when I was inside.
I better get Bob.
Copy !req
125. Yay!
Copy !req
126. Congratulations!
Copy !req
127. For what?
Copy !req
128. For finding a way
out of here.
Copy !req
129. Enzo!
Copy !req
130. You are my hero!
Copy !req
131. I am?
Copy !req
132. Why, we've been trying
to get out forever!
Copy !req
133. You are so smart.
Copy !req
134. And I am so lucky!
My brother,
Copy !req
135. the smartest boy
in all of...
Of wherever this is.
Copy !req
136. Dot! Enzo!
Stand back! Don't worry!
I'll save you!
Copy !req
137. Save us? From what?
Copy !req
138. Gee, I'm not sure.
Copy !req
139. Is it from that...
That stranger?
Copy !req
140. Express Delivery for, uh...
Copy !req
141. "Dod's Dinner"?
Copy !req
142. Why, yes!
It is! Aha!
Copy !req
143. No, Bob,
that's just the...
Copy !req
144. Take that! And that!
Copy !req
145. Sorry about that,
I don't know
what got into him.
Copy !req
146. Dot? What's wrong
with Bob?
Copy !req
147. Hello? Enzo to Dot.
Come in.
Copy !req
148. Hmm...
Copy !req
149. Hat for sale!
Best price in town!
Copy !req
150. No way.
Copy !req
151. This isn't a game.
I did this!
Copy !req
152. And I didn't make
myself any smarter,
Copy !req
153. I made everyone else dumber.
Copy !req
154. Show off!
Copy !req
155. What have I done!
I've got to set the
clockspeed back to normal
Copy !req
156. before the whole
city crashes.
Copy !req
157. Wow. These
aren't just for
hats anymore!
Copy !req
158. Hey! Come back.
You didn't pay for that.
Copy !req
159. Never fear, for I,
Bob, will stop him.
Copy !req
160. Stop!
Copy !req
161. Cease and pause,
you hat-napper!
Copy !req
162. Port back here,
you varmint!
Copy !req
163. Almost there.
Copy !req
164. Oh, no!
Copy !req
165. Warning.
Incoming game.
Copy !req
166. Warning. Incoming game.
Copy !req
167. No! No! No!
Copy !req
168. Hey! How do you
stop this thing?
Copy !req
169. Oh, that's how.
Copy !req
170. Great. Trapped
in a game with
these characters.
Copy !req
171. This better be
something simple, or
we're in major trouble.
Copy !req
172. Welcome to
Video Athletes,
Copy !req
173. between the deadly User
and those
oh-so-wacky Mainframers.
Copy !req
174. Stay tuned for
thrilling action!
Heart-pounding suspense!
Copy !req
175. But first,
this message.
Copy !req
176. Man, clockspeed
doesn't seem to affect
Mike the TV at all.
Copy !req
177. I guess he couldn't
get any dumber.
Copy !req
178. Reboot!
Copy !req
179. "Coach"?
Oh, great.
Copy !req
180. Uh-oh!
Copy !req
181. In the first series of events,
the athletes will rack up
Copy !req
182. as many points as they can.
The more, the better.
Copy !req
183. But wait, there's more!
These scores determine
Copy !req
184. the starting positions
in the winner-take-all
final event,
Copy !req
185. the Eliminator!
Copy !req
186. Whoever wins
the Eliminator
wins the game.
Copy !req
187. Now, another word
from our sponsor.
Copy !req
188. Did you hear that?
We've got to score as
many points as possible,
Copy !req
189. or we're all
wiped out.
Copy !req
190. Don't worry, Coach!
I will help you win!
Copy !req
191. We will help
you win!
Copy !req
192. Yup! You got it, Enzo.
Copy !req
193. Winning is our format!
Copy !req
194. Consider it inputted.
Copy !req
195. No problem!
Copy !req
196. Uh,
there's just one thing...
Copy !req
197. Yes?
Copy !req
198. What are points?
Copy !req
199. We're all
going to be nullified!
Copy !req
200. Let the games begin!
Copy !req
201. Come on, team!
We can do it!
Copy !req
202. Teamwork! Teamwork! Teamwork!
This is the hallmark
of the Mainframe team.
Copy !req
203. Oh! He's not getting
up from that one.
Copy !req
204. Oh! You know
that's got to hurt.
Copy !req
205. What we have here
is a failure to network.
Copy !req
206. How are we doing,
Coach? Coach?
Copy !req
207. It's time for
the Eliminator, Enzo,
Copy !req
208. and the User is
going to be almost
impossible to beat.
Copy !req
209. Because of
his high-point total,
Copy !req
210. he's starting
with a big lead.
Copy !req
211. The Mainframers
could lose the game,
Copy !req
212. the entire sector
could be wiped out,
Copy !req
213. and we'll all be
mindless nulls.
Copy !req
214. How do you
feel right now?
Copy !req
215. What a ridiculous question!
How do you think I feel!
Copy !req
216. I feel rotten!
Copy !req
217. I see. And what are
your strategic plans
for the rest of the game?
Copy !req
218. Strategic plans?
I'm just going to try
to win, that's what!
Copy !req
219. And I'm not going to let
my team ruin it either!
Copy !req
220. There you have it, ladies
and gentlemen, and you
heard it here first.
Copy !req
221. Coach Enzo is
entering the game!
Copy !req
222. Don't worry, Coach,
we'll help you
win the race!
Copy !req
223. I was afraid of that.
Copy !req
224. Coach!
You okay?
Copy !req
225. Okay, User,
I'm jamming now.
Copy !req
226. We are helping!
We are helping!
Copy !req
227. Whoa!
Copy !req
228. And that sound means
the User is on his final lap.
Copy !req
229. Come on, Enzo, get up.
We don't want
to be nullified.
Copy !req
230. Think of your city.
Think of your friends.
Copy !req
231. But most of all,
think of my career!
Copy !req
232. This is hopeless.
I wonder what Bob
would do.
Copy !req
233. I mean the smart Bob.
Copy !req
234. That's it! The smart Bob
would use his brains.
Copy !req
235. I had to transfer all of
you to the User's team
Copy !req
236. because he really needs
your help to make it
to the finish line.
Copy !req
237. Really?
Copy !req
238. Okay! Let's go!
Help the User. Yeah!
Copy !req
239. I've got some ground
to make up.
Copy !req
240. That's it, the final lap!
Copy !req
241. We are helping!
We are helping!
Copy !req
242. The User's
at the finish line!
Copy !req
243. I am helping to make
your boots go faster!
Copy !req
244. I can't watch!
Copy !req
245. Yes!
Copy !req
246. That smashing
come-from-behind victory
Copy !req
247. was brought to you by
soothing 32 Bit lotion.
Copy !req
248. "Because you itch."
Copy !req
249. Game over.
Copy !req
250. You are my hero!
Copy !req
251. Phew!
Copy !req
252. What's our problem?
Copy !req
253. I have no idea.
Copy !req
254. Phong?
Copy !req
255. I hope you learned you
should always pay attention
to the road signs.
Copy !req
256. What in the network
are you talking about?
Copy !req
257. Short cuts lead to
dead ends, my son.
Copy !req
258. Wait a minute, you knew
all along, didn't you?
Copy !req
259. What?
Were you talking to me?
Copy !req
260. I learned a lot, Phong.
More than I wanted,
but thanks anyway.
Copy !req
261. You're not going to catch me
getting smart all at once.
Copy !req
262. No way!
Copy !req
263. You think he's sick?
Copy !req
264. Has to be,
he's so quiet,
so still.
Copy !req
265. He hasn't knocked me over
for at least a millisecond.
Copy !req
266. Think we should call
a diagnostic program?
Copy !req
267. That's enough for today!
These things take time,
you know.
Copy !req
268. Anyone want to
go circuit racing?
Jet ball? Speed port?
Copy !req
269. Net cutter? Jump slot?
Spooling? Vector ball?
Copy !req
270. Bob?
Copy !req
271. Nah!
Copy !req
