Memorable quotes
Hacker: I thought perhaps you'd like to rejoin the forces of chaos. After all, you were one of my most effective operatives.
Digit: [feigning sincerity] Gee, boss, you'd really take me back?
Hacker: [holds Digit by the beak] Never! But I will find out what price Motherboard will pay to [shaking Digit in rhythm] get—you—back. [drops Digit and laughs]
Buzz: Boss, boss! Guess who we saw on the midway?
Hacker: [sarcastically] I give up. Frosty the Snowman?
Delete: No! Those meddling kids!
Jackie: Matt! Wait! I just checked out the Tilting Toppling Towers game.
Matt: Well? Is it crooked?
[beat]
Jackie: [deadpan] Very funny. But no. It's strictly on the level. Fair.
Jackie: What if we're too late? What if we never see Digit again?
[Digit crashes into the trunk of Lucky's car.]
Digit: How did you know which Door would zap The Hacker into Cyberspace?
Matt: I didn't. But there were only two possibilities. So I took a chance—and we won!
