Digit:
I got a bazillion things
to do with motherboard.

First, I gotta fix
the-the-the...

The what?

Digit:
the-the-the...

Motherboard:
digit!

(Pinched nose voice)
what's happened to me?

Motherboard:
your systems are out of sync.

Did you remember to reactivate
your synchrometer?

(Normal voice)
my synchrometer!
I totally forgot!

No wonder I'm acting wonky.

I'll call for an appointment
now...now...now...

Don't worry,
I'll take care of it.

Jules:
rule -g specifically states:

No one gets extra time
in the sync cave.

Oh... What's taking that borg
so long to get reactivated?

Excuse me in there,
your time's up-

Borg:
huh?

Sir, wait!
You forgot to sign out!

(Sighs)
oh, boy...

First day on the job
and I'm already in trouble.

(Ship whooshes by overhead)

Oof.

Name, please.

Uh... The hacker.

Appointment at : .

Hacker.
Ah, yes.

You've been cancelled.

Someone more important
is coming in.

Hmm. What?!

Do you know who I am?

No, and I don't care!

Step aside,
I'm coming in!

(Hand scanner zaps)

Jules:
sir, you can hold your hand
there all day,

The door will not open
for the wrong appointment.

Come back
a week from tuesday.

(Angrily) grrr.

No one tells the hacker
what to do...

Jules!

Take me up!

I said take me up,
you dimbot tinwits!

(Wreaker blasts off)

Way to go, jules!

Don't let 'em
push you around.

Digit:
hello-oooo!

Whoa-oa-oa!

(Crash)

Sorry, I'm a little
out of sync today.

I-i-i'm digit.

Yes, motherboard phoned.
I'm jules.

Hacker:
let's find out who could
possibly be more important

Than the hacker!

Digit?!

Delete:
gee, digit is more important
than the boss!

Shh!

No one is more important
than the hacker!

(Weak laugh)

Hacker:
now, what can I do to show
that pompous little cave guard

Who's the important one
around here?

Uh... I've got it!

A plan so brilliant,
so perfect,

It's crystal clear!

(Scanner buzz)

Jules:
I'm sure you'll feel much better
once you reactivate.

And be sure to stay
on the path!

Oh! I forgot to record
his number!

Excuse me!

Rule -f states that
I must record the number

On your synchrometer!

Ha-hargh! No problemo!

Here you go-go-go...

(Plink)

I'll get it.

It-it-it-it-it...

Jules:
oh, no!

What am I going to do?

(Dials)

Motherboard,
this is jules.

How could this happen?

I tried to be so perfect.

I do everything
by the rule book.

Where are those kids?

Kids:
hey, jules!

Jules:
oh, am I glad you're here!

You have to find digit,
and you have to find him fast!

Matt:
jules, dude, don't worry!

Jackie, inez and the mattster
are here to help.

Matt, dude, worry!

Digit's lost in a dark,
scary cave!

C'mon!

He was on the bridge

When he accidentally
tossed his synchrometer

Into that tunnel.

Then he fell down that hole
when he tried to go after it.

Didge, it's jackie!
Can you hear me?

(Louder) it's jackie!

Digit: (over skwak pad)
jackie, did you bring jill?

Jack and jill
went up the hill...

Oh, man,
he's really lost it.

...and jill came tumbling after!
(Laughs hysterically)

Jackie:
digit! Listen to me!
You lost your synchrometer!

I did?

I did!

We're going to help you
find it,

But we need to know
what it looks like.

Like a rock,
about two cyber-inches long,

Special shape.

That pretty stuff
called-called-called...

He's out of sync again!

Inez:
okay, if the synchrometer's
in the tunnel,

And digit's down there,

We'll have
to split up.

Matt:
right!

You two take the tunnel.

I'll search the hole
with jules.

Me? Huh.

Sorry, i-i don't go
into dark places.

I still sleep
with a night light!

I need your help,
jules!

But it's pitch black
down there!

Jules, once you've
faced your fear,

You'll never be afraid
of the dark again.

Won't that be cool?

No!

Matt:
we'll stay together.

I promise
I'll be there for you.

Well, if you say so.
Okay.

Inez:
didge said the synchrometer
is like a rock,

And it's a special shape
about two cyber-inches long.

See anything like that?

Well, here's something
about two cyber-inches long.

But there's nothing special
about the shape.

Jules:
this is so scary!

So dark!

So everything I don't like!

Hang in there, jules.
We're almost at the bottom.

Inez:
whoa! Check out
all this white stuff.

It's about
the right size.

Yeah...

And it breaks easily,
like chalk.

Didge! Is your synchrometer
easy to break?

Digit:
no!

It's hard as rock.

Straight edges,
flat faces,

(Cowboy imitation)
and wide open spaces!

Yee-haw!

Jackie:
spaces?

No. Faces! Faces!

Faces?

Like ours?

Maybe he means
this kind of face!

The flat face
of a rock.

Okay! Let's look
for something rock-like

With flat faces
and straight edges.

And about
two cyber-inches long!

(Echoing) didge!
It's matt!

Can you hear me?

Are you here?

(Water drips)
ahhhh!

Something got me!

It was just water.

Oh, really?

Well, how come the water's
looking down at me?!

(Loud squawks)

Matt:
whoa! What are those?

Matt and jules:
ruuuun!

(Loud squawking and screeching)

This way!

(Squawking and screeching)

I don't know
about you, matt,

But I don't do well

In small,
cramped areas.

Don't think about it!

Digit:
(in the distance)
hellllllllllllllllllp!

Digit!
Where are you?

Digit:
(in the distance)
that's what I want to know!

Matt:
he's close! Hurry!

Hacker:
faster, you duncebuckets!

We've got work to do,

And not a lot of time
to do it!

(Breathing hard)
what's the rush, boss?

I'm pooped!

(Breathing hard)
hoo! Me, too!

What are we building anyway?

Something so important

It will change cyberspace
forever!

Not to mention,
make me rich!

(Blasts off)

Jackie:
look at all these flat faces
and straight edges!

We'll never find didge's
synchrometer!

No giving up, jax!

Remember, it has to be
two cyber-inches long.

I know, I know.

Whoa!

How cool is this?

Inez:
it looks like a bowl
full of ice cubes.

And they all have flat faces
and straight edges

Like didge said!

Plus, they're hard as a rock!

Yeah. Every face
a perfect square.

You know,

This reminds me
of a piece of quartz

From my rock collection.

It has a different shape
than this,

But it has flat faces
and straight edges

Just like this does.

I've seen that!
It's a kind of a crystal!

Yeah, right, a crystal.

So maybe digit's synchrometer
is some kind of crystal!

Didge, is your synchrometer
a crystal?

Digit:
yeah! A crystal!
That's it!

A synchronium crystal!

Inez:
is it shaped like a cube?

No, long and skinny
like my aunt minnie!

(Laughs)

Or is it my uncle vinny?

We gotta find that
synchrometer, quick.

Digit's coming unglued.

Digit:
nope, I'm bolted together.
No glue!

Oh, man.

Okay, so the faces
are long and skinny...

Are they rectangles?

Digit:
yeah, six of 'em.

Jackie:
six rectangular faces.
Got it!

Digit:
and binky's house is on top.

Binky's house?!

Wait, I get it!

Binky and the mummy!

Didge must mean the top
is like a pyramid!

Let's put six triangles
on top.

Inez:
cool! We've got the shape!

Didge,
what color is it?

Purple... Purple...
Purple...purple...

(Giggles)
we hear you, didge.
Purple!

Okay,
what do we know?

We know we're looking for
a small purplish crystal

With a special shape,
like this!

Jules:
crawling on my hands and knees
through a scary cave

Was definitely not
in the job description!

Relax, jules,

We have to be getting close.

We're running out of cave.

Check that!
We are out of cave!

Digit!
You down there?!

Digit: (from below)
I'm here...here...here...

Cool!
We'll be right down!

Are you kidding?!
It's dark down there

And we have no idea
what's at the other end!

I know it's scary,

But digit's
at the other end!

It's time, jules.

Time to face your fears
and help me save him.

I uh... Okay.

I'm with you.

Both:
whooaaaaaaaaaa...

(Splash)

Land! Land!

We're safe!

(Sea monster roars)

Jules:
then again...

(Sea monster roar)

Matt and jules:
ahhhh!

Jules:
this way!

(Sea monster roars)

(Thunk)

(Groans)

Digit:
(humming a tango)

It's digit,
I think!

Digit:
(humming)

Hey! Didge!

C'mon!
Just fly up!

(Continues humming)

How are we gonna
get digit?

(Digit humming loudly)

Wow!
This is amazing!

Tons of crystals
everywhere!

(Gasps)
over there!

Cool!

Jackie:
a purple crystal!

Six faces,

And they're all the same
rectangular shape...

That meet in straight edges.

Inez:
and six triangles on the top

That come together
in a point!

It totally matches
what didge described!

Matt! I think we found
the synchrometer!

But we need digit
to i.d. It.

Did you find him?

Yeah!

But we have
a small problem.

Meet us at the synchronizer
in five!

Huh?

Jackie:
we'll be there!

Huh?

What are you going do?

I have an idea.
Give me your rope.

I could drop down
and get didge.

Then when I say "now,"
pull us up!

You got it!

I'll be back!

Digit:
(humming a tango)

C'mon, didge, let's dance.

(Humming a tango)

Now!

Digit:
yeow!

Way to go,
jules!

Couldn't have done it
without you, matty!

Inez:
didge, is this
your synchrometer?

Digit:
synchrometer... Synchrometer...

That's not exactly
the response

I was looking for.

Jules:
it has a serial number on it!

This must be it!
I'll see if it fits.

It fits!

Kids:
yes! It's his! Cool!

Stand here

So the light from
the synchronizer crystal

Can reactivate
your personal crystal.

(Machine approaches)

Kids and jules:
hunh? What's happening?!

(Mechanical whir
from descending arm)

Kids and jules:
(gasp) stop!
No! Give it back!

Matt:
I don't believe it!

Hacker stole
the synchronizer!

Jackie:
what's going to happen
to digit?

Inez:
is there any other way
to reactivate a synchrometer?

No! That's why
every cyborg comes here.

Oh, boy...

This is just horrendous news
for everyone in cyberspace!

Anybody wanna dance?

Hacker:
easy... Easy...

Don't hurt the star
of the show!

(Grunts of effort)

Whew!
I don't get it, boss.

What kind of show
is gonna star a rock?

I get it, deedee.
It's a rock star!

(Laughing)

Good one, buzzy!
(Laughs)

Careful,
you dimbots!

I'll have you know
this is not an ordinary rock,

It's a crystal.

And a very special
crystal indeed!

Borgs will come here
by the thousands

To have their synchrometers
reactivated,

And they'll pay me lots
and lots of money to do it!

(Giggle excitedly)

I'm off to get
paying customers.

Make sure everything
is ready when I return!

How come we always
do the work,

And the boss is the one
who gets rich?

I give up.
Why?

So what's the plan?

How are we going
to fix digit?

How are we going to save
the synchrometer?

Digit:
beep, beep, beep...

(Crystal breaks off)

You know what I'm thinking?

I wonder if a smaller crystal

Would work as well
as a big one?

Jules:
it's not working.

Maybe it's not big enough.

Well, maybe we can make
a bigger crystal

Using this
synchronium powder.

How can we do that?

One time I made a big kind
of salt crystal with my mom.

We heated water and dissolved
a lot of salt in it.

Then we put a tiny salt crystal
into the solution and...

Jackie:
and what?

And the little crystal
grew big!

You think we could grow
a big crystal from this?

Maybe.
It's a crystal, too.

But we need hot water.

There's a hot spring
right around the corner.

Come on,
I'll show you!

Ugh, there we go.
That should do it.

Wow, buzzie,
look how pretty!

It's even sparklier
than a diamond!

Hmm. It's so pretty.

(Sighs)

Hey, maybe we could chop off
a few little pieces

And sell 'em.

What do ya know!

I bet we can make
tons of money doin' this!

I don't know, buzzy.

Won't the boss be mad
if we mess up his crystal?

How's he even gonna know?

It's so big,
he won't miss a chunk or two.

Delete:
you're right.
Let's get rich, too!

(Banging and tapping)

(Splash)

Matt:
that should be enough
hot water.

Inez:
here's the last
of the synchronium powder.

Jackie:
cool! The powder is dissolving!

We can use this for the string.

All we have to do

Is drop this small crystal seed
into the liquid...

And the new synchronium crystal
will form around it.

Jules:
I hope.

Jackie:
now what?

Matt:
we wait for the crystal
to grow.

Jackie:
won't that take a long time?

Not around here!

They grow pretty fast.

Buzz:
pay your money
and put a sparkle in your life!

Buy as many as you want!

Borg with cash:
they're so pretty,
I want two!

Borg with more cash:
I want five!

Don't worry,
we got plenty!

Enough for everyone!

Come on,
crystal,

Let's see some
action here!

Guys! I think it's working!

Matt:
the crystal's getting bigger
all around!

The only question is...

Will it be big enough
in time to save digit?

Digit:
(crash) oh!

Hacker:
did you hear?

The synchronizer has moved
to the northern frontier!

From now on,
for a small sum,

Reactivating your synchrometer
will be both convenient

And fun!

Approving borgs:
simply divine. Sign me up.
I wanna go first!

Delete:
thank you!
Thank you very much!

(Gasp) deedee!

Don't look now,
but the boss is here!

You think he'll be mad
if he sees what we're selling?

Mad? No.

Furious? Yeeeees!

Jackie:
check it out!

The new crystal formed
in the exact same shape.

And it looks identical
to the original synchronizer!

Let's put it
where it belongs

And see if it reactivates
digit's synchrometer.

Inez:
okay crystal,
do your stuff!

(Crystal buzzes with energy)

Kids:
amazing! Wonderful!

(Poof)

Oh, yeah!
I'm feelin' good!

Ba-da-bing! Ba-da-boom!

Kids:
digit! Thank goodness!
You're okay!

Digit:
earthlies!
What are you doing here?

You mean...

You don't remember
getting lost

In the cave?

Being trapped in a dark hole?

Almost costing jules
his job?

Actually... No.

But I do know I gotta
get back to motherboard.

All:
huh?

Uh, by the way,
earthlies,

Don't you have anybody
to save today?

No cyberspace problems
to solve?

Jackie:
hm... I guess not.

Good! Gotta fly now!

See ya later!

Thanks for the help,
my friends.

I am officially no longer
afraid of this cave...

Or the dark!

Kids:
all right, jules!
Woo-hoo! Way to go!

Hacker:
you'll love it!

It's the exact same crystal

That used to be
in the sync chamber.

Not only that,

You get to star
in your very own light show!

Behold the beauty
and the brilliance

Of the hacker's synchronizer!

(Shocked gasp)

Ahhh! Ahhh!

What happened
to my magnificent crystal?

(Borgs boo and jeer)

Borg:
I'm outta here!

Uh-oh!

Uh-uh-uh...

Come back here,
you duncebuckets!

Where's my crystal?!

Delete:
faster, buzzy! Faster!

Hacker:
what have you two tinwits
done with my crystal?!

Come back here!
