It makes no sense.

Does it need to?

[No really, he does understand that. Except maybe... maybe if Cindy wanted to play that way, too. Thankfully, she plays much the same way he does: deadly.]

For Pino.

[Rinzler does not see the point. Does not care.]

Same thing as a compilation date.

Wouldn't yours be the day you were rectified?

[double_discs]

Tron's recompile. [If you won't to get technical. He growls, low and dangerous.]

Calm your processors.
