- [It is a dark and stormy night. The camera approaches the
Principle Office over what is left of the surrounding system. Lightning-like
discharges illuminate the scene. Even inside the Principle Office it is dark.
A CPU snaps a chemical light stick. Binomes are huddled inside the Great Hall
talking among themselves, rocking their children, standing in food lines,
weeping, and so on.]
- Binome:
- [monotone] We're doomed.
- [Fade to a medical area. Doctor binomes treat others up on beds, including
a binome whose blocks have been separated and another who appears to be
receiving CPR. Fade to a scene of binomes waiting in long lines outside a pair
of portable toilets. Some hop in place or bang on the doors desperately. A
baby binome in line fills its diaper. Fade to a shantytown-like area with
makeshift houses. Three binomes in Chinese costumes ride bicycles between the
buildings. Fade to a young girl One peering through a cloth barrier, on the
other side of which Our Heroes are around the map table. They include Matrix,
Bob, AndrAIa, Specks, Phong, Hack, Slash, Dot, Mouse, and Ray. Phong is facing
away from the rest.]
- Phong:
- I am sorry, my children, but Mainframe is dying. We have stopped the
bleeding, but the patient is too far gone to save.
- Dot:
- But there must be something we can do.
- Phong:
- [turning toward her] I'm afraid not, my child. We would... merely be
wasting our time.
- [Dot looks down, discouraged.]
- AndrAIa:
- We can't effect repairs without powering up, and if we power up a sector
it'll just start going offline again.
- [Specks nods. Mouse lowers her head. Then she looks over at the cloth
barrier, where the One is looking in. The One realizes that she has been seen
and ducks back, then peers through the slit again. Mouse shakes her head.]
- Mouse:
- [stage whisper] But we can't support the whole city in a ruined Principle
Office for more than a few cycles!
- Matrix:
- So all we've done is delayed the inevitable!
- Bob:
- [unhappily] There is one possible solution.
- [AndrAIa, Matrix, Dot, Hack, and Slash look up at Bob. Hack and Slash
exchange glances.]
- Bob:
- [continuing] But... I'm really not too happy about it. Bear in mind, this
is a last resort.
- [The game alarm sounds. Bob looks up.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, incoming game.
- [Everyone around the map table looks up. A tunnel opens in the sky.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, incoming game. Warning, incoming game.
- [CPUs stare upward, alarmed. Seen in a VidWindow, a game cube descends
from the tunnel. Matrix steps in front of the VidWindow.]
- Matrix:
- [determinedly] Let's do it!
- [He turns to leave. Frisket and AndrAIa follow him. Then he stops and
looks to the side.]
- Matrix:
- Bob? Are you comin'?
- [Bob's eyes are tightly closed, and he looks pained. He shakes his head
slightly, then opens his eyes.]
- Bob:
- No. And you mustn't go either.
- [Phong looks over, wide-eyed with surprise.]
- Matrix:
- [in disbelief] W-what?
- Bob:
- Goes against everything I am, but - we have to stay outta that game!
- Matrix:
- A lost game could push Mainframe over the edge! The system will crash!
- Bob:
- I know. But I think that if the system goes over it could force a restart!
- Matrix:
- [shaking his head] But, we don't know that! We have to go! I have
to go!
- [Matrix walks forward. Bob catches him by the shoulders.]
- Bob:
- Enzo! I know. Trust me!
- [Matrix glares at Bob. Bob looks pleadingly at Matrix.]
- Matrix:
- Bob!
- Bob:
- Please.
- [Bob looks to the side. Matrix looks around and up.]
- Matrix:
- No!
- [The game cube lands. Bob closes his eyes and lowers his head.]
- Matrix:
- [softly] What have we done?
- [Dot lowers and shakes her head. Hack and Slash look at each other
worriedly.]
- Phong:
- [whispering] We... [shakes his head and speaks louder] We must move
quickly! [He turns toward a laptop-like workstation on the map table.] We do
not have much time. [He begins typing rapidly.]
- Dot:
- [looking up] Yes, you're right. We have to make sure all active PIDs are
accounted for.
- [Dot begins typing at another small station. Everyone but Matrix stands in
place. Matrix crosses, then looks back at the table.]
- Mouse:
- [lets out a breath] The natives are gonna get restless with a game in
town. We should try to keep 'em calm.
- [Bob looks at AndrAIa. They nod at each other, then walk away. Dot and
Phong are both typing rapidly at their stations. Outside, the game cube sits
among wreckage. Back inside, Mouse and Ray walk among the refugees. The girl
One, holding a green Guardian doll, is drowsing. She drops the doll. Mouse
picks it up and holds it out to her. The girl looks around sleepily, then
seems alarmed when she sees Mouse crouching by her.]
- Mouse:
- There ya go, honey.
- [The girl snatches the doll from Mouse's hand. Mouse stands. The girl
watches as Mouse and Ray walk on.]
- Girl Binome:
- [softly] Thank you.
- [Wipe to Ray and Mouse walking through a dark area.]
- Ray:
- Y'know, I could take you away from all this.
- Mouse:
- I suppose you could, but... I've stuck with these folks for too long to
leave 'em now. Huh, I must be gettin' soft. [looks over at Ray] But you don't
have to stay here, sugah.
- Ray:
- Everybody has to be somewhere. I particularly like it right here.
- [He raises an eyebrow at her. Mouse grins back. They walk off into the
distance.]
- [Fade to a diagram of the Principle Office. It is marked with dozens of
green and red dots, with more appearing every nanosecond. Specks shakes his
eyeblock, then startles.]
- Specks:
- Sir, what sensors I have report an energy buildup. I think the game's
about to leave!
- Dot:
- Phong!
- Phong:
- [typing frantically] Almost there, my child, almost there...
- [Bob walks up behind Phong. Phong raises his arms.]
- Phong:
- Aah! It is done. All active PIDs have been scanned.
- Dot:
- Well, all we can do now is wait.
- [Hexadecimal appears, mask first, behind Phong, beside Bob. Bob looks down
and shakes his head.]
- Hexadecimal:
- Ohh! What're we waiting for?
- [Dot, Hack, and Slash yelp with surprise.]
- Hexadecimal:
- [continuing] Is it a surprise? I like surprises! I brought
biscuits. She holds up a tray of gingerbread-man-like cookies. They look like
Herr Doktor and Bunnyfoot. Phong looks up from the tray.]
- Phong:
- Ohh, dear.
- [The game cube is seen from outside.]
- System Voice:
- Game over.
- [The game cube flickers with static.]
- Bob:
- [kneeling down] Phong, please?
- [Phong shakes his head and pulls at his "beard".]
- System Voice:
- The User wins.
- [Phong and Bob look up. In the background, Ray takes a cookie off of
Hexadecimal's tray.]
- Phong:
- Very well. But I cannot believe I am doing this!
- [The game cube rises back into the sky. Phong's kangaroo drawer opens. He
reaches inside and takes out an icon. Hex, holding the tray with one hand,
walks up to Phong and Bob. In the background, Mouse stops Ray from eating the
biscuit by slapping his hand lightly.]
- Phong:
- Registering a Virus. Oh, madness! Absolute, utter madness!
- [Phong looks away as he holds the icon up to Hexadecimal. She lets go of
the tray, which disappears, and takes the icon.]
- Hexadecimal:
- Oooh, thank you, Phong! [looking down at herself] Now, where can I... pin
it?
- [The game cube disappears within the tunnel in the sky. The sky flashes
violently with lightning-like energy discharges, illuminating the nullified
sector. Binomes look around and rhubarb despairingly within the Principle
Office. The little girl binome holds her Guardian doll to herself. It is now
wearing a strand of orange staticky hair attached to its head. An alarm
sounds.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash. Warning, system crash.
- [The system voice speaks in the background as lightning flashes and
buildings collapse. Pipes are severed, sending jets of steam into the air.
More buildings fall as the camera closes in on the Principle Office.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash. Warning, system crash.
- [Captain Capacitor and Mr. Christopher are watching. Capacitor looks
around, open-mouthed. Then he looks over and sees Mr. Christopher staring at
his laptop with a hopeless expression. Mr. Andrews offers Mr. Christopher a
mug. Mr. Christopher nods, tosses the laptop over his shoulder, and takes the
mug. All three pirates raise their mugs as if in a toast.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash.
- [The binome family looks around. Hack and Slash tremble and hold each
other tightly. The islands of Floating Point Park fall. Two the crew of the
Saucy Mare drink from mugs at a table covered with doughnuts. They clink their
mugs together. Mr. Mitchell pours something from a bottle into a shot glass
held by Old Man Pearson. Pearson waves the glass around, clinks it with Mr.
Mitchell's coconut cup, and drinks. Then both throw their beverage containers
at Cecil. Pearson now holds a mug, and Mr. Mitchell pours more into it. Cecil
gestures angrily and moves away. Pearson and Mitchell, laughing, hold up the
mug and bottle. Sir and Binkie drink, the former from a coffee mug and the
latter from one of the ubiquitous mugs. Mr Mitchell falls over backwards as he
drinks from the bottle. Mr. Pearson looks down at him, then laughs.]
- [Large chunks of the sector sink into the Energy Sea. Specks, hands behind
his back, sidles up to Princess Bula. He looks up at her. She looks down at
him, then reaches down and pats him affectionately on the head. Ray looks at
Mouse, and shakes his head questioningly. He looks away, then back at her. She
grins and winks at him. Then she grabs him around the shoulders, and dips and
kisses him.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash.
- [More buildings sink, burning, into the Energy sea. The D from Dot's Diner
does too.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash. Warning, system crash.
- [Bob and Dot walk out of the darkness and look out over the dying system.
Matrix, AndrAIa, Frisket, and Phong are also there. Phong steeples his fingers
and lowers his head. Frisket, ears drooping, whines sadly. AndrAIa hold on to
Matrix and rests her head on his chest. Bob reaches a hand out to Dot. She
takes it, and the two face each other silently. Fade to black.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, system crash.
[PLACE COMMERCIAL HERE]
- [Open on a black screen. It bleeps softly as a cursor travels left to
right, leaving behind it a string of green letters.]
- Computer:
]SYSTEM CRASH: ]RESTART Y/N?:
- [We hear four keyclicks as three letters fill the screen.]
- User:
YES
- [The computer bleeps as another message appears.]
- Computer:
]RESTORE Y/N?:
- [We hear four keyclicks as three more letters fill the screen.]
- User:
YES
- [There is a thump, then the sound of the system powering up. The circuit
patterns in the dome above Mainframe flicker into existence out of the
darkness. They light the Principle Office and the surrounding cylinder, which
is all that is left of the system.]
- System Voice:
- Warning, incoming data.
- [A bright golden tunnel appears in the sky. Around it energy bursts
explode like fireworks. A widening beam of golden light shines down on the
Principle Office. A shape similar to the end of a coaxial cable made of the
gold light comes down; when it passes the camera it is identifiable as a
duplicate of the Principle Office and surrounding cylinder. It comes down and
fuses with the Principle Office. Colored energy ripples over it, transforming
it into a new, undamaged structure, starting with the cylinder, working its
way across the bridges, and finally up to the dome. Seen from the outside, it
is now shiny and new, with a few gleams of light for good measure. Then the
wedges of the six sectors, also looking like they are made of golden light,
come down from the sky one by one and fit around the Principle Office. A
colored ripple of energy comes from the Energy Sea in a shrinking circle and
goes under Mainframe, then shoots up through the Principle Office into the
sky. The sky turns golden with yet more pyrotechnics. Four unnamed binomes -
three adults and a baby - stare at the sky and marvel.]
- Capacitor:
- [laughs] By the code, lad!
- [Capacitor slaps Mr. Christopher hard on the back, dazing him. Mouse and
Ray continue kissin'. The fireworks turn the golden buildings, streets, and
other areas into more solid ones. Matrix and AndrAIa step forward and gawk at
the shifting lights. Bob's apartment is restored, then G Prime. The sky
changes from gold to its normal blue with wispy clouds. The binome family
looks around, then up. A new pinnacle subsphere emerges from the top of the
Principle Office dome. The windows in the Wall Street offices light up, and
the one-and-zero "monorail" starts zooming by. More buildings light up. The
modern art "molecule sculpture" floats up beside Bob's apartment. The sign on
Dot's Diner lights up, letter by letter. The billboard Vidwindows spring into
place around it. The camera pulls back from the Principle Office to show the
entire system, which is fully recovered.]
- [Phong is just outside the Principle Office, looking around in amazement.
Frisket, behind him, barks excitedly, then bounds over and licks him.]
- Phong:
- [raising his arms demonstratively] Oh, thank the User! We are saved! Ohh!
- [In bursts of golden light previously deleted binomes are restored. First
the Redshirt who refused to give Megabyte his icon, then Lieutenant Chauncy
and a number of other viral binomes, then Oo-er and Numeral Eight, then the
two parent binomes who fell when the city collapsed. A young boy binome in a
ball cap sees them, smiles, and runs over. The three embrace. The young girl
binome looks around expectantly, then her expression changes to one of
disappointment. Phong looks up. The sky has turned a rippling blue-green.
Green light comes down on a viral One. When the light fades he is an
uninfected CPU. He looks down at himself.]
- CPU:
- [joyously] I'm free! Free! [He jumps and laughs, then runs.]
- [Green light comes down on Lieutenant Chauncy and the three other virals
that appeared with him, removing the infection.]
- Chauncy:
- Oh, great Norton's ghost!
- [He looks over at the Tor. Green and yellow light grinds down on it,
destroying it. Hexadecimal lands behind Phong. Green sparkles surround her.
Phong looks at her, astonished. She appears to enjoy what the lights are doing
to her. As they fade she puts her hands on her thighs and closes her eyes.]
- Hexadecimal:
- [ala Mae West] Oooh, that tickled!
- [The girl binome looks around as, behind her, binomes cheer, and several
more viral binomes are disinfected. She looks back at the former viral One
just behind herself. He is now a CPU, and is looking at himself, pleased. Then
he sees the girl.]
- CPU 2:
- [holding out his arms] Hey, baby!
- Girl Binome:
- Oh, Dad!
- [She rushes to him. They hug. The camera comes down on a view of more
binomes cheering. The cook from the Saucy Mare darts into frame and pumps one
arm.]
- Cook:
- Yoo hoo, way to go!
- [Hack and Slash look around and cheer and rhubarb. Then Slash gets faint
and reels back. Hack catches him.]
- Hack:
- Slash, y'okay? [laughs] Hey!
- Slash:
- Oh, Hack.
- Hack:
- He said it turned all mauve there.
- Slash:
- Oh, Hack. Oh, yeah, it's so beautiful.
- Capacitor:
- All the days I've processed I've never seen the like! [He leans on Mr.
Christopher.]
- [Binomes cheer. Princess Bula picks Specks up, shakes him not too roughly,
and throws him up in the air and catches him twice. And, in the background,
Mouse and Ray are still kissin'. They finally break. Both gasp for air.
She returns Ray to an upright and locked position. He looks dazed.]
- Mouse:
- [fanning herself with one hand] Ah, oh, thanks, sugah.
- Ray:
- [breathlessly] What a way to go!
- [Matrix is holding AndrAIa up by the waist and waving her around. Frisket
is jumping up and barking.]
- Matrix:
- We did it! We did it, AndrAIa! We did it!
- [He sets her back down on her feet.]
- AndrAIa:
- Oh, Enzo.
- [Bob and Dot, in front of the Principle Office, watch the celebration.
They look at each other. Then they embrace and kiss. The camera orbits around
them. Then they look over, surprised, when they see a flashbulb go off and
hear the sound of a picture being taken. Phong looks out from behind a camera
and grins and shrugs. Bob and Dot are still embracing.]
- Dot:
- Don't ever leave me again.
- Bob:
- [nods] I promise.
- Enzo:
- Bob!
- [Both Dot and Bob turn, startled, when they hear Enzo. The camera's
viewpoint romps up to Bob. Enzo tackles him to the ground. As Bob shakes his
head to clear it, Enzo v1.0 - who is sitting on Bob's chest - begins
jabbering.]
- Enzo:
- Hey, Bob, what happened to your hair? It's so cool!
- [Bob stares at Enzo and blinks, then looks up at Dot. Dot is staring too.]
- Enzo:
- [continuing] And your costume, alphanumeric! Can I have a costume like
that?
- [Dot, Frisket, Matrix, AndrAIa, Phong, Ray, and Mouse all stare at Enzo
and Bob.]
- Enzo:
- [continuing] Or is that just a Guardian thing?
- [Phong turns, amazed, from Enzo to Matrix.]
- Enzo:
- [continuing] Well, one day I'm gonna be a Guardian too and then you'll
see.
- [Mouse looks at Matrix and AndrAIa, who look at each other.]
- Enzo:
- [continuing] So are we going jet-balling again? You promised we would if I
did my homework!
- [Close-up of Matrix's icon, which is still in game sprite mode.]
- Enzo:
- [pointing] Hey!
- [Everyone startles.]
- Enzo:
- Who's the big ugly green guy?
- [Fade to black as comical music plays.]
[PLACE COMMERCIAL HERE]
- [The end credit music begins. We see several screens of credits, then
static begins interrupting the music and picture. The static clears on a
close-up on Mike the TV's screen. He is in front of Dot's Diner. He speaks as
dramatically as usual, and is exponentially more squashy and stretchy than
ever before.]
- Mike:
- This is Mike the TV, coming to you live from the heart of downtown
Mainframe. The city has been restored, and all our heroes can take a
well-earned break. Soooo, I guess that leaves me in charge! Ha
ha ha ha ha!
- [The camera begins to track to the side.]
- Mike:
- Hey! [running to get back in frame] Hey hey hey, where you going? Wait,
wait, there's more! A special offer! For those viewers out there who missed
ReBoot Season Three and have no idea what's going on, we proudly
present for your appreciation, this cycle only, the marvelous, magnificent,
Mainframe Strolling Players, ha ha!
- [The camera zooms in on his screen. After a few
flickers of static the scene changes into the inside of a large theater, the
same one seen in Identity Crisis and AndrAIa. The seats are filled and the
orchestra is tuning up. The Gene Simmons binome is in the pit. The camera pans
across the audience, showing way too many main and second-string players to
list. The lights dim. The conductor looks around with a sour expression, then
taps the podium with his baton. The music of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I Am The
Very Model of a Modern Major-General" begins. The curtain rises showing
binomes in costume on a stage representing the battle in Web World Wars.
Flying vehicles swing from wires. Binomes dressed as Bob and Megabyte stand on
a platform. A binome dressed as Version 1 Dot comes onstage in front of the
platform and sings. Throughout the song the lyrics appear as subtitles, with a
little Skuzzy as a "bouncing ball." The subtitles do not always exactly match
the singing. Only the differences are noted below. As "Dot" sings, the binomes
representing virals and CPUs prance behind her, hamming it up for the
audience.]
- Binome Dot:
- A-a-hem! The Web invaded Mainframe, sprite and virus battled side by side
Attempting to reclaim the city from the rift which opened wide.
- [The Megabyte Binome waves up. A hook on a rope comes down. "Megabyte"
fastens a hook to the back of "Bob's" belt.]
- Binome Dot:
- But Megabyte betrayed Bob and he threw him deep inside the pit. The pit
was closed and Bob was hosed and all that he could say was...
- [The line pulls Bob up into the air.]
- Bob Binome:
- No!
- [A backdrop representing Cit_E comes down. In front of it "Megabyte" and
"Enzo" pretend to fight. The Mouse Binome is at the front. "Bob" falls from
his hook and bounces offstage.]
- Mouse Binome:
- Without Bob to protect us we thought we would have no barrier From he who
would infect us except Enzo, which was scarier.
- Dot Binome:
- The city shivered, terrified, from fear of the infector's touch.
- ["Megabyte" swats Enzo right into the camera.]
- Enzo Binome:
- I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much.
- [He slides down, revealing a stage on which a chorus line of binomes
riverdance. Cyrus, his eyelid and icon no longer green, is in the center.]
- Chorus:
- I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much. I guess our
fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much. I guess our fear was verified,
he wasn't a protector-ector much!
- [The stage now resembles the final level from the combat game in Game
Over. While "AndrAIa" watches from the side, "Enzo" battles "Zaytan," who is
two Zeroes, one standing atop the other and swaying precariously. "Mouse" is
in front. While they sing, "Enzo" and "Zaytan" pretend to battle. "Zaytan"
eventually loses his balance and flops down.]
- Mouse Binome:
- [clears her throat] It wasn't Enzo's fault at first, he only was a little
Sprite.
- ["Phong," A Zero with a puppet head, zooms onto the stage.]
- Phong Binome:
- At best he was the worst but then he slowly leaned to do it right.
- ["Dot," now in third-season black costume, comes onstage.]
- Dot Binome:
- And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win. I
thought for sure they'd both be killed, first Bob, then Enzo. Not again!
- Subtitle:
- I thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob, then Enzo.
Not again!
- [In the audience, Dot looks at Enzo, then at Matrix, who is sitting right
beside him. Onstage, "Enzo" holds a hand over his eye and "Little AndrAIa"
comforts him. A box painted like a Game Cube - inside which the lower halves
of two binomes are visible - comes down on them.]
- Chorus:
- And just as he was getting skilled, a Game came down he couldn't win. She
thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob, then Enzo. Not again!
- [Phong leans out from behind Matrix and takes a picture. The game cube box
rises, leaving Binome Matrix and AndrAIa. "Matrix" has a gold hemisphere on a
stick to represent his artificial eye. During his first line "Enzo" falls from
above. "Matrix" kicks him off the stage. Then they march in place past a
scrolling background representing the space battle game, Cron the Destroyer,
the system in "Where No Sprite Has Gone Before," the golfing game, and the
words "Don't roll farther than this!"]
- Matrix Binome:
- Brrr! I went from Game to Game, I aged, I grew and lost my innocence. I
soon became enraged by each and every bad experience. The Sprite you knew was
gone, I had become a grim aggressor man. I knew from that point on that I was
truly Bob's successor man.
- [Matrix looks down, ashamed. Grinning, AndrAIa nudges him and points at
the stage. He looks at it and smiles.]
- Chorus:
- The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man. He knew
from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man.
- [The backdrop now shows the data storm in the Web. The camera lowers to
show "Web Bob", and behind him four dancing "Webriders."]
- Bob Binome:
- [clears his throat] I met up with the Webriders and took the form of
Interface.
- [The camera darts to the side, where "Matrix" dances in front of binomes
costumed as Captain Capacitor and three pirates. The backdrop is The Saucy
Mare traveling to The Edge of Beyond.]
- Matrix Binome:
- I joined my gun with pirate swords and sailed the seas of cyberspace.
- ["Bob" and "Matrix" come together between the two sets.]
- Bob & Matrix Binomes:
- And when at last the pair of us were finally reunited guys Our shouts of
joy did blare because we really were delighted guys.
- ["Bob" takes a deep breath. Then both turn back. The two backdrops part.
Behind them is "Megabyte" and several dancing "virals" in front of a backdrop
of the ruined Megaframe.]
- Bob Binome:
- We soon made tracks to Mainframe so our friends could reunite with us. We
made it back and Megabyte was waiting there to fight with us.
- ["Bob" is in the center of a darkened stage. Spots come on showing five
Hexadecimal binomes, each wearing a different mask.]
- Matrix Binome:
- When Bob went face to face to face to face with Hexadecimal...
- ["Matrix" gasps for air. The five "Hexadecimals" dance in synch as "Bob"
looks around himself.]
- Matrix Binome:
- His chances for survival shrank from small to infinitesimal.
- ["Bob" and the main "Hexadecimal" dance together.]
- Chorus:
- His chances for survival shrank from small to infinitesimal. His chances
for survival shrank from small to infinitesimal. His chances for survival
shrank from small to infinitesi-esimal.
- ["Hexadecimal" spins Bob offstage, then appears wearing a neutral mask and
holding angry and laughing masks in her hands. As she sings she throws the
masks in her hands away. On a platform behind and above her, "Matrix" and
"Megabyte" chat, then startle when the light comes on and then pretend to
fight.]
- Hexadecimal Binome:
- Bob helped to de-fragment my head while Matrix fought with Megabyte. I
thought he'd wind up dead, but Matrix put up a terrific fight.
- ["Megabyte" falls off the platform. The camera closes in on "Matrix."]
- Matrix Binome:
- I'd dreamed of this each lonely night, of doing in that virus trash,
- [angrily] But just as I had won the fight, he engineered a system crash!
- [Binomes run about as buildings fall. "Bob" hams it up shamelessly.]
- Chorus:
- You dreamed of this each lonely night, of doing in that virus trash, But
just as you had won the fight, he engineered a system crash!
- [A black One holding a sparkler jumps in front of the camera and looks
around. Then "Bob" sings and dances weirdly, chewing the scenery harder and
harder, as black binomes holding sparklers bound cross the stage behind him.]
- Bob Binome:
- [clears his throat] What Megabyte had hoped to do was cause his death to
crack us up. I gambled on the User to reboot and thereby back us up. It
worked! We all were born anew and rid of things barbaric. And now we're back
together, everything's alphanumeric!
- Subtitle:
- Now we're back together, everything is Alphanumeric!
- ["Phong," "Dot," "Matrix," and "AndrAIa" join him. As they sing all pose
shamelessly, except for "Phong," who falls over.]
- All:
- It worked! We all were born anew and rid of things barbaric. And now we're
back together, everything's alphanumeric!
- Subtitle:
- Now we're back together, everything is Alphanumeric!
- [The camera pulls back, showing that they are on a multi-level stage. On
the next lower level is "Hexadecimal," "Little AndrAIa," "Enzo," "Mouse,"
"Hack," "Slash," and "Megabyte." On the bottom level are the four "Webriders,"
two "Pirates," "Capacitor," Cyrus, and three black binomes. All are dancing
and holding sparklers.]
- All:
- And now we're back together, everything is alphanumeric!
- Subtitle:
- Now we're back together, EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!
- [The audience cheers and applauds. Ray and Mouse
stand, then Bob and Dot. Matrix and AndrAIa stand and clap, then Matrix yells
and pumps his arm. Phong raises the camera to take pictures. As the ending of
the song repeats, we see the pictures: the Mainframe Strolling Players on the
pyramid onstage; Bob and Dot kissing; Ray, Bob, and Matrix partying and
clearly not ready for a photo; AndrAIa, Mouse, and Dot together and looking
squiffy with Phong's face out of focus in the front; Phong setting the camera
down in front of Dot's Diner; characters rushing into place for the photo, and
a final shot of the characters - Cyrus, Slash, Hexadecimal, Cecil, Ray, Mouse,
Phong, Bob, Dot, Enzo, Princess Bula, Matrix, AndrAIa, Frisket, Mr. Andrew,
Hack, Specks, and Captain Capacitor. Hack is making bunny-ears behind
Capacitor's hat.]
- All:
- Everything is alphanumeric!
- [The ReBoot logo snaps together in front of a rushing purple background.]
