4.06 Life's a glitch (Oh, i get it, "Life's a -----) typed by :glitch007 Last Modified:Nov.17/01 Camera zooms on the P-office **CPUs flying around** **voices from the lab** Dot:How's he doing Phong? **Nibbles' sounds** Ph:I have given him simple devices to communicate with D:He seems happy enough, Dad? Dad can you hear me? **nibbles is in the pastic containerg playing with a ball** Ph:I'm afraid that since Hexadecimal left us, Welman has reverted back to his original Nibbles persona. But there is some good news **vid window pops up with a sprite and a null wireframe** Ph:As you know Welman's presence in Mainframe confirms something we have long suspected **100% match appears on the v.w.** D:That a null retains the code of the sprite that it used to be Ph:The tech boys have come up with a portable device to sample and download game codes D:That means that we can build up a library of games, then use the code on nulls right here in the lab! Ph:Exactly! We may be able to recompile the nullified sprites! D:That's great, Phong...But how do we restore dad? He wasn't nullfied by a game Ph:A solution to that problem still escapes me, my child Outside Dot's Diner watching in on a table **Andraia, Enzo, Matrix, and OBob are there** **Matrix is requesting something of Cecil, who ignores him** Mike the TV:Enzo Matrix, son of Mainframe's most brilliant scientist or the unwitting pawn of an insane virus. Hello, my name is Mike the TV and this is "Little Brother"-virtual reality TV **Vid window that says FILE FOOTAGE on the bottom left shows scenes of Hex** Mike:Hexadecimal the self-styled queen of chaos may be gone from Mainframe, but is she gone forever from the net? Or does her legacy live on? hmm? What exactly did Hex do to Enzo's icon before she made the ultimate sacrifice. Could this unsuspecting little sprite turn VIRAL at any moment? **end of footagees** Mike:And just where do we get this footage from? **The outside Dot's Diner scene** **Matrix is getting pretty pissed and is arguing with Cecil** Mike:Stay tooned, these are just some of the probing questions we will answer on: Little Brother **Matrix chases Cecil around the restaurant** **We see Mike's camera crew** Mike(takes a look at his butt):Does this ??? ratio make me look fat **Enzo, OBob and Andraia are watching Matrix chase Cecil** P-office control center **Mouse is on a vidwindow** Dot(sighs, walks non stop back and forth):They're the same sprite, but they're not, if you know what I mean. Mouse:Yeah? Dot:One looks different and the other looks the same, **stutters** not the same, I mean..looks right, no, not right, original! uhh, that's not right either Mouse:No it ain't Dot:Bob is Bob and Glitch Bob isn't.. but he is, are you with me? Mouse:I..I'm tryna be Dot:What do I do, Mouse? Mouse:Well...stand still for a start, you're driving me crazy! **She sits down** Dot(sighs):sorry, well? Mouse:What did Phong say? D:Aww, he was no help **imitating Phong** "Follow your heart, my child", you know what he's like, basically [Phong's implying] "Make up your own mind" Mouse:Sounds like good advice D:But-- Mouse:No one can help you, Dot, it's up to you! D:But-- Mouse:Alright, I think you should choose Bob! D:But Glitch Bob saved us from Megabyte, and-- Mouse: Ok, choose Glitch Bob! D:But, what about Bob? Bob looks like Bob **something beeps** Mouse:Well, sound like you're busy, catch ya later sugar! **Dot thinks...** The Lab **Phong is staring at a purple and yellow coloured null** **Null squeals as it is shocked** **Phong is about to press a button when GBob comes in** GBob:Phong, you've gotta split us apart! Phong:You and Dot? GBob:What? Ph:You want to split up with Dot? Oh that will make things easier for her GBob:No no no, not Dot, Glitch! I wanna be with Dot, but I think she likes the other guy better, so decompile and separate me from Glitch! Ph:So you will look like the other guy GBob:Exactly Ph:I can not do it we do not have the technology in Mainframe GBob:I know that, this has never been done b4, remember? Ph:Oh dear! GBob:What the password for the archive? Maybe I can splice some code together and-- **computer beeps** GBob(demanding tone):Phong, what is the password? Ph(hesitating):Password, uh yes, I, well, it's umm...uhh.. GBob:Oh this is great, now you don't trust me. Ph:Oh, do not be silly GBob:You don't think that I'm the original... Ph:Yes I do! GBob:Well then give me the password **Phong hesitates again, and the alarm goes off** Ph(relieved):Oh! An alarm! GBob:Hmm, saved by the bell... Ph(correcting Bob):No no no, that is a claxon The control room **Dot is just walking in followed by Hack and Slash** Dot:What have you got for me? Specks:Sir, ma'am. Uhh, the long range sensors are picking up game energy, probable location:Kit's Dot:Clear the sector, alert Matrix, Andraia and Bob Specks:Yes Ma'am! Dot:Hack, slash Slash:Yes sir mom. Hack:Did you say mom? Slash:Yeah, what? Hack:Yes ma'am, yes sir MA'AM! You called her MOM! D:Boys, not another word **They stand at attention** **Dot changes the vidwindow to the scene at the lab** D:Phong! Ph:Dot Dot:Oh hi Glitc---hi Bob! GBob:Hi Dot, could you tell Phong-- Dot:Sorry, Bob haven't got time. (to Phong)This is it, Phong, Hack and Slash will pick up the game code sampler and-- Ph:I need to go in the game with it! Dot:What? But you said-- GBob:You go in a game? Ph:Yes, yes the data must be sampled correctly Dot:O..K Dot(to H&S):Boys, change that command to 4.06 escort and return (isn't the episode name "Life's a Glitch?" Hack:Yes, sir! **They try to go thru the door at the same time, but they're too big, it takes them a while to figure it out** **Dot sighs** Somewhere in Mainframe **Andraia, Matrix and OBob are walking thru a park towards the game** **Matrix sees Hack and Slash fly to the scene** Matrix:What are you doing here? **Hack is holding the code sampler and Slash is holding Phong, they land** Comp:WARNING, INCOMING GAME, WARNING INCOMING GAME **Matrix is frustrated** An:I'm sure they'll help, sparky Matrix:Marvellous, all we need now is for Enzo to show up! Ph:That is not even funny! By the way, where is the young sprite? M:It's ok, Cecil's guarding him Ph(surprised):Cecil??? Dot's Diner Comp:WARNING INCOMING GAME! WARNING INCOMING GAME! **Cecil is still wiping the glassware** **We see Enzo heading towards the game in the window** Cecil:What am I? A nanny? The P-office lab **Vid-windows flash 'access denied'** **Bob is talking to Mouse on a vid-window** GBob(sighs):We're the same sprite, but we're not, do you know what I mean? Mouse:Oh believe me, I know sugar. GBob:Oh sure, I look different and he looks normal, but that doesn't mean he's the "original" **doing the quote finger gesture** What do you think, Mouse? Mouse:Well...I think it's a mistake to separate from Glitch, you are what you are, leave it at that GBob:But I can't, I gotta try, it might make the difference. I love her, Mouse. Mouse:So what are you waiting for? Go for it! GBob:I can't Phong didn't.. or wouldn't, give me the password to the archive Mouse:Well I can help you there, and...your in **Dozens of archive vid windows pop up** GBob:Whoa, I don't know what to say...thanks, Mouse Mouse:Invite me to the wedding, you take care, sugar **Mouse is out** GBob:Right, Inventory, what have we got here? The game OBob:So have you played this one before, Matrix? **He looks around, there are some spinning disks** Matrix:No, Andraia? An:The game is in progress, there's fighting out there! **They run to a window and see a house with the tree shaking** An:The user's on its way, the game sprites didn't stop it! OBob:Let's do it! Enzo(still running):Bob! Matrix:Oh, I'm gonna offline Cecil when I see him Enzo:I just made it in! An:Hi, little sparky, now you know you shouldn't be in here Enzo:I know, but you left me with Cecil, have you ever spent any time with Cecil? I rather be nullfied in a game! An:That's a fair comment **A big-ass Rocky the Raccoon appears behind Andraia** **He's trying to get in** An:Oh no! Matrix:Not him again! OBob:But I thought you haven't played this game. Matrix:We haven't, this must be a new version, but we have met the user before, Rockey the rabid raccoon Enzo:Let's do it! ReBoot! Andraia, Matrix and Bob:NO! Bob is in the lab, there are 3 chambers in the room **Bob is wearing magnifying glasses and is analyzing a circuit diagram** GBob:I go in here, no set the timer first, 10 should do, code triggers, and I, minus glitch exit here! or..here. Glitch ends up where I'm not **He looks around the room with the magnifying glasses on and feels woozy** **He takes them off** GBob:Let's do it! **He opens the middle chamber, walks in and commences the countdown** **flashes of light** The game **Enzo is a puppet on a string, he talks really weirdly, like a robot** Enzo:What..ARE..these things? OBob:You appear to be some sort of mannequinn Enzo:Mannequinn, bad walkER? Matrix:Oh, you aren't gonna be any help! An:Rocky's searching for a way in, it's time to do it lover Matrix:Oh..ok, ReBoot **he reboots into Darth Vader** **Andraia is a smiling queen Amidala look-a-like action figure, OBob is some army soldier action figure** **Matrix does the asthma thing** Matrix:What happened to Phong and the idiots? **Phong is a yogurt instead of Yoda** Ph:(Yoda voice)Yogurt, I am. ahem..I am **Andraia is confused** **Hack and Slash are pop cans** Hack:We're here. Slash:Right in front of you Hack:Yeah, AND we heard the idoits line Lab **The left chamber starts emitted smoke... is he separated???** **Nope...The middle chamber opens and GBob coughs** GBob:Well, that didn't work The Game **Rocky comes through a hole in the door** Rocky:Lot's of good eatin' in the kitchen! **slurps** **The miniscule Bob and Matrix jump onto a garbage can lever..** **Which opens the lid, which flings a ball, which hits a door handle which opens a door, which causes the ironing board to fall on Rocky's head (bounces 3 times)** **Rocky's chin falls on a lever which flings something that ricochets off the wall and hits a barrel, which rolls of a shelf, which bounces back up and starts rolling a rolling pin. (takes a deep breath) That causes an iron to get knocked off a shelf, which yanks an elastic (attached to aa cupboard door) which flings Rocky out the main door** OBob:One donw, 2 to go GBob somewhere in a lab **There are 3 teleporters, indicated by the 3 circles on the ground** **Bob is on the one on the left** GBob:Glitch there **points to the middle one**, me there **points to the one on the right** **teleporting sequence begins** **Bob is on the right, and the Star Trek binome is in the middle, the binome's brushing his teeth** GBob:Ahh, sorry about that! **The binome continues brushing** The Game **Andraia is running towards the edge of the game carrying Yogurt (Phong) and the code sampler** Ph:Perfect, this is! **Andraia pants** An:Good, you're certainly not low fat yogurt Ph:The green button you must press **Tentacles emerge from the sampler and starts sucking in code** An:We need to get back to the game! Ph:Automatic the sampler is, leave it we can An:Why are you talking like that? Lab **GBob is pissed and he hits the table with his fist** **he looks around, sighs and presses a button** **A scene from Gigabyte appears where Gigabyte, from a portal, is separated into Hex, web creature and Megabyte** **lightbulb!** The Game **Rocky is running to eat something while Matrix and Bob are throwing stuff at him** Matrix:We can't keep this up! OBob:I'm finished, can't throw another unfeasibly big object! Arms killing me, and these hands aren't helping either **Remember OBob is rebooted into an action figure** Matrix:If he gets on the table and eats, he'll power up..and we'll never stop him. **Enzo, who is on a table in the middle of the room, looks around** **He sees Rocky below him, then he sees Matrix and OBob panting** Enzo:They're not going TO stop HIM. Slash:We're gonna get nullified! **Hack cries** **Something sounds like farting** Enzo:Hey, what's that NOIse? Slash:Oh, sorry about that, I was scared, Enzo:no that fizzing noise Slash:Oh Hack:When we shake, it feels like we're gonna blow!!! Blow up that is, not the thing he did Slash:Hey! Enzo:Ok boys, I HAVE got AN idEA Control Room **Vid window shows the game cube** Dot:This is the part I hate, the waiting Bob(runs into the room):Dot! I need you to release this tear for me **Bob is implementing his split up plan, whirring noice** There, that should do it! Dot:Where are you going? Bob:Oh, I'm not going anywhere, but I'm hoping to come back, if you know what I mean.. Dot:I haven't a clue. Bob:Oh, you'll see, I hope Dot:Bob, there's a game in progress are you sure this is a good time to be fooling around with-- Bob:No time like the present, anyways, there's Matrix and Andraia, and..(emphasizes)Bob, they'll win the game, so release the tear when I get up there ok? **he runs out** **Dot and Specks are confused** Dot:That's not like him Specks:Not to care about the game? Dot:yeah The game **Rocky jumps on a chair to get onto the table, he ducks whenn he sees something fly by** **It's Enzo using Hack and Slash as the engines, and his strings for his 'pod racer'** Hack/Slash:Watch out, left, right, no the other right, try spinning Enzo:No! That's a stupid iDEA **They slam into Rocky and fling him outside the door** Enzo:Woohoo! We did IT Hack:Phew, **loud burp** I'm empty Slash:But strangely refreshed Outside the game **The Pinnicle opens and the tear is there** **GBob turns the tear into some portal** GBob:Now why didn't I think of this sooner? **He flies into it** The Game **Rocky is struggling to reach the cookie jar** **Bob is holding a "light saber" and tries to hit Rocky with it** **Rocky tries to bite him** **Enzo and Andraia are hacking away on Rocky's legs** **Phong's yogurt spills** **Loud thumping noise, it appears that Darth Vader is driving a roasted bird (we all know where the bird came from)** **Enzo and Andraia move outta the way** **Matrix uses the roasted chicken to kick Rocky in the ahem...** **Rocky is in pain and slips on yogurt** **He slides, but his head hits a cookie jar** **Bob tries to stop him, but he slips on the yogurt too** **Rocky opens the cookie jar which is glowing, he throws the lid at Andraia, but she evades it and ducks** **Rocky flips the coin cookie in the air...slow motion** **The cookie is about to land in Rocky's mouth when Andraia throws something in it and chokes him** **Matrix knocks Rocky off the table** Bob(to Enzo):Luke, use the sauce! Enzo:What? Bob:Use the sauce! **Enzo walks there as fast as he can, but he is a puppet** **He jumps into the hot sauce hard enought to make it roll off the edge of the table** **The sauce plunges into Rocky's mouth and he is forced to gulp it** **He spits fire, then explodes** Computer:GAME OVER The sector of Kits **Bob runs to Enzo** OBob:Are you ok? Enzo:Yeah, that was super cool OBob:Enzo, you helped save us all, I am so proud of you! Matrix:Yeah, that was ok kid Enzo:Pixelacious An:High praise indeed, I am never going to smile again Matrix:I liked your hair, by the way An:You mean you don't like it now? Ahh! Matrix:What is it? An:I don't know, but something's not right! Pinnicle **Bob is still in the portal** GBob:Glitch:Splitter **The tear tries to separate itself, but it doesn't work** **Explosion, GBob is thrown backward** The control room Dot:BOB! Kits Sector **rumbling** Matrix:What in the net? An:It's Bob, I heard him scream! Pinnicle **Bob is a black hardened chrystalized sprite, with yellow objects flying around him** **Dot picks him up** **The sprites who fought in the game fly to the scene** Dot:Bob, get down to the war room, contact Turbo, I want a guardian med team hear at once. Phong, I need something to stabalize him, get to it. An:Let me try something **She tries to use her nails to peirce the statue** An:What is he covered with? What happened, Dot? Dot:I don't know, I really don't know **Sirens blare** Some room in the P-office Turbo:We've got our best sprites working on this, Dot, the best. I just don't know what made this Bob try such a stupid stunt Dot:He's been acting odd for a while now OBob:I don't think my arrival helped, Dot:No, you can't blame yourself OBob:But I can't help it, Turbo, keep us informed, anything happens-- Turbo:You'll be the first to know **Here's where the soap opera starts** OBob:Dot, maybe it would be best if I left, I could go back to the super computer or-- Dot(stands up):No! No, please you must stay, this is your home now remember? OBob:But I don't remember..everything, I'm outta place here Dot:But things will work out, they always do OBob:I'm not sure this time **Silence** **They kiss** **Camera does that rotating thing** Dot:Oh, I've missed you so much, you can't go away again, promise? OBob:Promise, I promise Dot:I love you Bob, I've always loved you **They kiss again** OBob:Dot, marry me and we can be together for all time. Dot:Oh Bob **The kiss** --end-- **This is probably the worst ending I've seen for any ReBoot episode**
