ReBoot (1994–2002): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Quick & the Fed - full transcript
After Bob ruins Megabyte's plans, by stealing his magnet. He went to Dot's Diner to be congratulated on his success in keeping Mainframe safe from viral threat. Bob lets Enzo play with his key tool: Glitch. But after Enzo tried out the Jack Hammer mode, it cause the magnet case to open and the magnet came flying out and sucked the energy out of Dot. She's now on the verge of deletion. And according to Phong, the cure is to provide her with "Slow Food". So Bob heads over to the only place in Mainframe that serves Slow Food is in Sector 31, which has this other diner called Al's. Unlike Dot's Diner, Al's is full of tough looking Sprites & Binomes, Viral Binomes, and Numbers. Bob tells the waiter up front to give him an order on Slow Food fast. Only to discover that receiving Slow Food will take time. But he doesn't have all seconds as Dot is close to being erased. While Megabyte sends his forces to get his magnet back from Bob. Will Bob get his order of Slow Food and save the day?

My format, Guardian.
To mend and defend.
To defend

their hopes and dreams.
To defend them from...

I heard you royally
kicked Megabyte's bitmap!
Think there'll
be a Game soon?
Think I could go in the
Game with you, huh?
I could be your copilot,
or your deputy, or--!
DOT: Uhh... Enzo...?
-ENZO: Yeah, Dot?
-DOT: It's not
good for business
when you sit on

-( dazed )
You're tellin' me!
( whirring )
-Now that you have whomped
me at my favourite game,
you have proven
yourself worthy
of my vast knowledge,
and endless wisdom.
What was the question?
-I told you, it's Dot!
She's been partially
erased by a magnet,
and they said you would know
how to return her to normal!
-Hmm... magnetic
erasure, huh?
The source code accelerates an
unstable file fragmentation,
leading to a
complete delete.
-Whoa, you lost
me, Phong.
Can you repeat that?
In plain DOS?
-Probably not,
But I can tell you that
Dot needs to access
some really, really,
REALLY slow food.
It will decelerate her
accelerated condition,
and return her
to normal.
( scratch scratch

-PHONG: Well?! What
are you waiting for?!
Any shock or
sudden movement
could completely
destabilize her!
