Episode Quotes
 
Bob: I am Guardian 452. State your function.
Gigabyte: I am become Gigabyte, destroyer of systems.
 
Mouse: Uh... listen, thank you, Dot, that was some mighty fine flyin' there.
 
Gigabyte: This is your last line of defense? Two small sprites?
Enzo: That's right! Two sprites! A girl!
AndrAIa: A boy!
Enzo: And his dog!
AndrAIa: Get 'em Frisket!
 
Bob: Alright, Hex. Start talkin'! You and Megabyte were beginning to merge back there!
Hexadecimal: (weakly) We are from the same viral strain.
Bob: Same viral strain? You mean the same family?
Hexadecimal: Oh, much worse. He is my BROTHER!!!
(Laughs insanely.)
Bob: But you two are always trying to kill each other.
Hexadecimal: Oh, that's just sibling rivalry.
 
Dot: And you can wipe that smile off your face!
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
The reason why Hexadecimal and Megabyte, when combined, make Gigabyte is because, later, in Season 4, it tells the story of Welman Matrix who targeted the Supercomputer but inadvertently brought back a virus named Gigabyte instead. It was too much for his machine to handle so it caused an explosion, which later seperated Gigabyte into two viruses-Hexadecimal and Megabyte.
 
 
Cultural References
 
When Gigabyte is first seen, he is on one knee, in a small crater, much like "The Terminator".
 
The first binome to be drained of energy has a whip, hat, and leather jacket, just like Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
 
Dot: And you can wipe that smile off your face!

Duck Dodgers/Daffy Duck says the exact same line to the Cadet/Porky Pig in a "Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show" episode (when he must face Gossimer).
 
 
Episode References
 
Bob uses his car to get away from Megabyte, but in an earlier episode ("Painted Windows"), he traded the car in for a motorcycle.
 
Mouse is a hacker who has tangled with Bob before, as described in "The Great Brain Robbery".
