ReBoot (1994–2002): Season 1, Episode 5 - The TIFF - full transcript
Bob and Dot get into an argument in which Dot thinks Bob to be too "random" while Bob thinks Dot is too straight-laced. Bob stops coming by to Dot's Diner, and it's a mess ever since they broke up. Enzo and the citizens of Mainframe try to plan out a way in having them make up. But nothing worked what so ever. But when a Game Cube is inputted and landed on the spot where Dot and Bob are. They must work together to win it, but can they agree on each others opinions on beating the user?

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

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

You're late for
a board meeting

It doesn't hurt for Enzo

FUN, don't you, Dot?

Bob, I was supposed
to take Enzo
to his ancient language

Now we're so late that my
entire schedule is offline!

Why, you probably know

be dinosaurs, Enzo,
