1. I come from the Net,Copy !req
2. through systems,
peoples and citiesCopy !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 NetCopy !req
9. and inputs games
for pleasure.Copy !req
10. No one knows for sureCopy !req
11. but I intend to find out.Copy !req
12. Reboot!Copy !req
13. I've heard
the Web is growing
out of controlCopy !req
14. and invading
other systems.Copy !req
15. Well, don't believe
everything you hear.Copy !req
16. Uh. What's the Web?Copy !req
17. Would you get him?Copy !req
18. What's the Web?Copy !req
19. Heh.Copy !req
20. Come on,
just one more circuit!Copy !req
21. I "eight" exercise!Copy !req
22. Huh?Copy !req
23. This is great!Copy !req
24. A V3!Copy !req
25. Yeah, it should give you
a lot less trouble
than your 262.Copy !req
26. Hey! The 262's
a classic.Copy !req
27. (SCRIBBLING SOUND)
What?Copy !req
28. What is it, Bob?Copy !req
29. I don't know.Copy !req
30. (SCOFFS)
I thought you Guardians
knew everything.Copy !req
31. Ooh! Look at that!
It's beautiful.Copy !req
32. Where'd that come from?Copy !req
33. Hey, Phong.
What's going on?
There's a...Copy !req
34. Bob, Hexadecimal
has broken into the Archives.Copy !req
35. She has tampered
with the system paint programCopy !req
36. and is currently running it
from an alias in her Lair.Copy !req
37. She's also...Copy !req
38. Destroyed the entire
Archive Security System!Copy !req
39. You'd better get down here.
It's really bad.Copy !req
40. What about the guards?Copy !req
41. The guards appear
to have been...Copy !req
42. Kidnapped!
Kidnapped by Hexadecimal!Copy !req
43. Picture, if you will,
an artist of great talent,Copy !req
44. unappreciated
by those around her,Copy !req
45. unnoticed by the critics.Copy !req
46. What would this artist
have to do,Copy !req
47. what kind of masterpiece
would she have to createCopy !req
48. to get recognition
from those around her?Copy !req
49. Ah-ha!Copy !req
50. Hmm. Oh!Copy !req
51. Well, what do you think?Copy !req
52. Such language.Copy !req
53. What are you smiling about?Copy !req
54. I like it.Copy !req
55. Why, thank you.Copy !req
56. Ah.Copy !req
57. Here's someone
who may appreciate
my talents.Copy !req
58. Hexadecimal!Copy !req
59. Ow! Oh!
Ah! Oh, oh!Copy !req
60. It hurt.
Boss?Copy !req
61. You called?Copy !req
62. You've destroyed my Tor!Copy !req
63. I will get you for this!Copy !req
64. Oh, but your sector
was looking so dreary.Copy !req
65. I've simply cheered it up
a little bit!Copy !req
66. There's no need to make
such a long face about it!Copy !req
67. Hexadeci...Copy !req
68. Holy!
Moly!Copy !req
69. Now, who's next?Copy !req
70. Bob! This is random!Copy !req
71. Mainframe's gone
totally haywire!Copy !req
72. You should see the Tor!Copy !req
73. Just a nano, Enzo.
I've got Phong online.Copy !req
74. Bob! It's worse
than I thought.Copy !req
75. The damage caused by
Hexadecimal's paintingCopy !req
76. will become permanentCopy !req
77. when the scheduled system
back-up occurs.Copy !req
78. Can't you break the link
in the Archives to stop her?Copy !req
79. Yes, but first
you have to perform
an undo commandCopy !req
80. to return things to normal.Copy !req
81. Great. That means
I've gotta go to the Lair.Copy !req
82. Precisely, Bob.Copy !req
83. Once you have
undone the paint,Copy !req
84. I will break the link.Copy !req
85. But be careful,
and remember...Copy !req
86. Phong?Copy !req
87. Phong! Remember what?Copy !req
88. (LAUGHING)
Oh, my dear Phong.Copy !req
89. Now you really are
the Keeper of the Core!Copy !req
90. Phong's out of
the picture, sort of.Copy !req
91. Who's gonna
break the link now?Copy !req
92. We've got to reach
your sister, Enzo.Copy !req
93. She's our only hope.Copy !req
94. Glitch!Copy !req
95. Quick! Try a VidWindow!Copy !req
96. Dot! Dot,
can you hear me?Copy !req
97. Dot!Copy !req
98. Well, Enzo,
looks like we've got
a communications blackout.Copy !req
99. Our Zip Boards
aren't doing so well
either, Bob.Copy !req
100. Oh, no!Copy !req
101. My brand-new bike!Copy !req
102. You sure have
bad luck with transport.Copy !req
103. Ugh!Copy !req
104. I guess I'm on my own
for this one.Copy !req
105. She eliminated
Phong and Megabyte first,Copy !req
106. then she took out
communications
and transport.Copy !req
107. It's almost like
she's working
to some sort of plan.Copy !req
108. Hexadecimal?
A plan?Copy !req
109. Dude.Copy !req
110. Enzo,
this is important.Copy !req
111. It's all up to you!Copy !req
112. You've got to get to DotCopy !req
113. and tell her
to break the link
to Hex's Lair.Copy !req
114. No problem, Bob.
Frisket'll help me.Copy !req
115. Come on, boy.Copy !req
116. Wait, Enzo!Copy !req
117. Don't do anything
until you get my signal.Copy !req
118. What's your signal?Copy !req
119. I don't know yet,
but you'll recognize it
when you see it.Copy !req
120. Okay, Bob.
You can count on me.Copy !req
121. And, Bob, be careful.Copy !req
122. Don't worry, Enzo.Copy !req
123. I'm sure
my good looks and charm
will get me through.Copy !req
124. All right, Hexadecimal,
prepare to meet
your worst critic!Copy !req
125. (IN POSH ACCENT)
Formal or informal,Copy !req
126. the plasticity of the workCopy !req
127. denotes the abstract
figurative tension...Copy !req
128. Ah, now this next oneCopy !req
129. is an important work,
not so much for how it looks,Copy !req
130. but how it feels.Copy !req
131. The torment,
the pain of the artist
is in evidenceCopy !req
132. in the juxtaposition
of the smooth
and the rough textures.Copy !req
133. This is an excellent example
of her brushwork,Copy !req
134. and here...Copy !req
135. Here, we have evidence
of her draftsmanship skills.Copy !req
136. And what's that?Copy !req
137. That, madame,Copy !req
138. (DROPS ACCENT)
is a Guardian.Copy !req
139. Hey! Do you mind?Copy !req
140. We are trying
to make a documentary.Copy !req
141. The Madness and the Glory.Copy !req
142. Oh, love it.Copy !req
143. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
144. Cut! Print that!
All right, folks,
it's a wrap!Copy !req
145. Come on, Mike.
I've got a plan,
and you're it!Copy !req
146. This is too weird, Frisket.Copy !req
147. Are you sure you know
where we're going?Copy !req
148. Random!Copy !req
149. What is it, Frisket?Copy !req
150. Whoa!Copy !req
151. Enzo!Copy !req
152. There's Dot!Copy !req
153. Frisket?
What happened?Copy !req
154. Oh, Frisket.Copy !req
155. Well, Sis, here I come.Copy !req
156. Whoa!Copy !req
157. Whoa!Copy !req
158. Oh, no. She's completely
destroyed the security system.Copy !req
159. Not even Megabyte
could have done this.Copy !req
160. Enzo! Are you okay?Copy !req
161. What happened to Frisket?Copy !req
162. It's a long story.Copy !req
163. Arf!Copy !req
164. Dot, I've got
an important
message from Bob.Copy !req
165. This is bad.
Really bad!Copy !req
166. Ugh, creepy.Copy !req
167. The artist appears
to be fixated with
his Guardian image.Copy !req
168. What do you mean by that?Copy !req
169. It's her blue period.Copy !req
170. You get it?Copy !req
171. I wish you'd stop doing that.Copy !req
172. What?Copy !req
173. (IMITATING FREUD)
This is obviously an exampleCopy !req
174. of the Guardian's
multiple personalities.Copy !req
175. Wait a minute.Copy !req
176. Cool.Copy !req
177. Come on, Mike.
We're ready.Copy !req
178. Right, Enzo.Copy !req
179. We've got to find
the system paint
program quicklyCopy !req
180. and break that link.Copy !req
181. Oh, yeah, I forgot.Copy !req
182. We're not supposed to
break the link until
we get Bob's signal.Copy !req
183. What's his signal?Copy !req
184. He doesn't know yet,
but we'll recognize it
when we see it.Copy !req
185. Oh, great.Copy !req
186. Come on, Dot, this way!Copy !req
187. Enzo, wait.
It's dangerous!Copy !req
188. No way, Sis.
Just use them like steps.Copy !req
189. Whoa!Copy !req
190. Enzo!Copy !req
191. Scuzzy?Copy !req
192. Guarding
Hexadecimal's Lair?Copy !req
193. (IMITATING IGOR)
Master, you know what
this means, don't you?Copy !req
194. Yeah.
Hex can enlarge as well.Copy !req
195. Oh, what's this?Copy !req
196. This is ridiculous.
It's only a paint effect!Copy !req
197. Well, it's a little
too realistic for me!Copy !req
198. I told you
it was dangerous.Copy !req
199. Aw, I bet stuff like this
doesn't happen to Bob.Copy !req
200. Split up!Copy !req
201. Oh, no!Copy !req
202. Not you!Copy !req
203. (IMITATING SOLDIER)
Paint system
fully functional, sir!Copy !req
204. How are we going to
find it in all this chaos?Copy !req
205. Hang on a sec.
I think I can...Copy !req
206. control the windows!Copy !req
207. All right, Enzo!Copy !req
208. Let's go!Copy !req
209. Now, now, now, Scuzzy.Copy !req
210. You know the
Guardian is mine.Copy !req
211. Why, hello, Bob.
Have you come to try
and spoil my fun?Copy !req
212. No, actually,
we're here to interview you!Copy !req
213. We are? Ow!Copy !req
214. Yes, yes, we are. Ha!Copy !req
215. We're here
on behalf of Mainframe's
local arts program.Copy !req
216. They're very excited to have
such a famous artist living
right here in Mainframe.Copy !req
217. They want us to do
a profile on you.Copy !req
218. Profile on moi?Ooh!
Recognition at last.Copy !req
219. Well, you'd better come
in, then, and I'll just
go and put on my face.Copy !req
220. I hope this works.Copy !req
221. Can you see
anything up there?Copy !req
222. Nope. It's not up here.Copy !req
223. There it is.Copy !req
224. I hope Bob's doing
better than us.
(FRISKET BARKS)Copy !req
225. Don't worry, Enzo.Copy !req
226. Bob wouldn't have gone
to meet Hexadecimal
without a really good plan.Copy !req
227. That's your whole plan?Copy !req
228. Yup.Copy !req
229. And neither of us
are expected to survive?Copy !req
230. That's right.Copy !req
231. (IMITATING JOHN WAYNE)
Well, that's not much
of a plan, is it, pilgrim?Copy !req
232. Just do it, Mike.Copy !req
233. You're on.Copy !req
234. Tonight on the program,
we have the reclusive
artist, Hexadecimal.Copy !req
235. A painter known
for her startling
originalityCopy !req
236. as much as for
the huge impact
of her work.Copy !req
237. Hexadecimal has never been
interviewed before.Copy !req
238. We bring you this
system-wide exclusiveCopy !req
239. straight from
the artist's studio...Copy !req
240. Lair.
What?Copy !req
241. The artist's Lair.Copy !req
242. Oh. Ha. Right. Lair.Copy !req
243. That's good, Mike.
Keep going.Copy !req
244. Now, Hexadecimal,Copy !req
245. many people have asked,
what is your inspiration?Copy !req
246. My inspiration, yes.Copy !req
247. Well, of course,
the inspirationCopy !req
248. for all of my works
is myself.Copy !req
249. I'm very fond
of self-portraits.Copy !req
250. I'd say they're
my best pieces.Copy !req
251. I'm ready for
my close-up now,
Mr. Guardian.Copy !req
252. Next week on the program,
Al from Al's Diner.Copy !req
253. Slow food:
Art form or indigestion?Copy !req
254. What?Copy !req
255. Whoa!Copy !req
256. I suppose this
is Bob's signal.Copy !req
257. Enzo, you've got to
get me to that window.Copy !req
258. Okay, Dot, here goes.Copy !req
259. Ah!Copy !req
260. Oh, no.Copy !req
261. Dot!Copy !req
262. Uh-oh!Copy !req
263. Guardian.Copy !req
264. (ECHOING)
Guardian. Guardian!Copy !req
265. You have removed
the only thing that keeps
her power in check.Copy !req
266. Without the mask,
Hexadecimal will overload
and be destroyed.Copy !req
267. Damn you, fool!Copy !req
268. Dot, hurry!
Everything's going
back to normal!Copy !req
269. (PANTING)
I'm nearly there, Enzo!Copy !req
270. Dot!Copy !req
271. Whoa!Copy !req
272. All right, Frisket!Copy !req
273. We did it!Copy !req
274. I've gotta reverse
this program!Copy !req
275. (ECHOING) Yes!
Do it, Guardian! Save us!Copy !req
276. Do it, Guardian! Save us!Copy !req
277. Oh, no! Dot, not now!Copy !req
278. Please help us.Copy !req
279. Glitch, return!Copy !req
280. Glitch, close file!Copy !req
281. Thank you.Copy !req
282. Glitch, cut and paste!Copy !req
283. Dot! Are you guys okay?Copy !req
284. We're fine, Bob.
What about you?Copy !req
285. Everything's
back to normal here.Copy !req
286. Well, as normal
as Lost Angles ever gets.Copy !req
287. Bob, what happened
to Hexadecimal?Copy !req
288. She's in
a pretty bad way, Enzo.Copy !req
289. It'll be a while
before she even thinks
about painting again.Copy !req
290. But she's getting help.Copy !req
291. The best help
I could get for her.Copy !req
292. It's the Love Hospital!Copy !req
293. And you can receive
this wonderful product
for only $9,999.99!Copy !req
294. No! No! Mother!
What have you done?Copy !req
295. It's coming this way.Copy !req
296. It's horrible!Copy !req
