Dave-bot 3000

Dave-bot 3000 is an NPC character that appears in Backyard Battleground in Plants vs. Zombies & the Powerpuff Girls. He appears to be a robot with Crazy Dave's face put onto it. Dave-bot 3000 gives out L.E.A.F. agent quests to the player. He is located inside the garage in the Plants' base of the Suburban Battlefield.

When peeking in the garage
“**INITIATING**”

“''Greetings Friend! Do not be alarmed. I am Dave-bot 3000.''”

“There are things to communicate, but I am not programmed to talk through doors.”

“Please proceed immediately to the location of the garage door opening device.”

“Waiting for intelligent response…”

When talking to Dave-bot 3000 after opening the garage
“Pre-programmed Dave-bot 3000 would like to ask you five questions.”

“Q1 - Are you a Plant or are you a Zombie?”

“Q2 - Can you confirm you are not a piece of buttered toast?”

“Q3 - What is 1+2 if it had bark?”

“Q4 - Are you fond of secret organizations?”

“Q5 - If, by chance, you were invited to become a member of a secret organization, would you accept?”

“''Oh good! Dave-bot 3000 is actually a recruitment bot for a secret organiza…***ERROR***''”

“***MALFUNCTION: Do not mention the secret***”

“***SEARCHING*** “How to recruit into secret organization if you can’t talk about it?””

“***ERROR*** REBOOTING *****CHANGING PARAMETERS*** PASSWORD: 123CrazyDaveHatesCats!”

“***PARAMETERS CHANGED***Permission to mention secret***”

“''Welcome friend! Would you like to try out for L.E.A.F. The League of Extraordinary Action Foliage!?''”

“As an agent of L.E.A.F. your sole purpose is to defeat Dr. Zomboss and his rather unpleasant Zombie horde.”

“''Great! Dave-bot 3000 will now show you the Quest Book. Your guide to becoming an agent!''”

Before Quest 1: A Strange Lookout
“As a L.E.A.F. agent-in-training, you need to demonstrate 3 skills:”

“Skill 1 - Ability to prevent secret surprise.”

“''Skill 2 - Ability to find lost treasure. Also ability to check what these guys are named.''”

“Skill 3 - Ability to identify what the signs say.”

“It’s time to demonstrate Skill #3.”

“As it turns out, some Zombies stole the missing fish bowl.”

“This belongs to L.E.A.F.’s special and lovely pets that like water, and we sent it to some nice refreshing air to make sure it never shatters.”

“Do you wish you want to find the missing bowl and take it back home?”

After Quest 1: A Strange Lookout
“*****PLAY GREETING #32*****”

“''Greetings! You are looking of sound mind.''”

Before Quest 2: Where Are The Fish?
“''It’s time to demonstrate Skill #2. Specifically, your ability to find lost treasure!''”

“Crazy Dave gave the Plants his master plan for how to defeat Dr. Zomboss and they sent it to and told the pets.”

“But now the Zombies flushed them down the toilet…”

“''So they sent them to make cooked fish on Volcano Island. A dangerously magmatic decision!''”

“Now we have to get them back before the Zombies get ready to have this delicious meal!”

“*****RESUME LOOKING BUSY*****”

After Quest 2: Where Are The Fish?
“*****INITIATE GREETING #113*****”

“Dave-bot 3000 welcomes you with open arms and a pre-programmed smile!”

Before Quest 3: The Flag Returns
“''Thanks for rescuing our two goldfish. So, those goldfish said there’s something you must remember: The same flag, WITH DAVE’S OLD PANTS!''”

“This flag could be used to make entire armies more powerful, giving them an incredible advantage in battle.”

“To that end, you have been chosen from the same all-embracing list of L.E.A.F. agent wannabes to test the flag.”

“Crazy Dave needs to check on how powerful the flag will be.”

“''Can you raise the flag in the center of the field? Dave-bot 3000 will analyze the data from a safe distance.''”

After Quest 3: The Flag Returns
“*****INITIATE GREETING #7*****”

“Wassup!”

Before Quest 4: Water!
“''Dave-bot 3000 has a surprise for you, Cadet. Another quest!''”

“It appears that Dr. Zomboss and his Zombies have headed into Zombsville to run some errands.”

“''Their base will look indefensible! That’s an unexpected opportunity, a chance to splash a crippling tide to the enemies.''”

“Go on this quest to obtain lots of water, which we will use to wet those Zombies.”

“''We will need to obtain it from Sensei Aqua-Splat himself. Defeat him and return with the fluid.''”

After Quest 4: Water!
“*****INITIATE GREETING #10,098*****”

“''You’re the bestest! Better than all the restest!''”

Before Quest 5: Surf’s Up
“Fantastic job securing the water cadet!”

“Dave-bot 3000 is proud and humbled to present you with a badge of… *****ERROR: BADGE UNAVAILABLE*****”

“*****DAVE-BOT 3000 STARES AT YOU AWKWARDLY*****”

“…”

“So…”

“About that water!”

“By mixing three parts water and surfboards to one Cherry Bomb, we can prevent a mysterious surprise to the Zombies.”

“Initiating Skill test #1 - Ability to prevent secret surprise!”

“''Test out the water’s destructive and surprise capability. The Cherry Bomb creates huge water and waves!''”

After Quest 5: Surf’s Up
“You’ve proven to Dave-bot 3000 that you have what it takes to make toast!”

“*****TOAST ERROR*****”

“You’ve proven to Dave-bot 3000 that you have what it takes to not be toast!”

“This is progress.”

“You have been awarded the badge of… *****BADGE CHECK***** “Badge of Niceness.””

Before Final Quest: Agents of L.E.A.F.
“''You have been awarded an Orb of Portals. Place it on any object befitting of an Orb of Portals.''”

“Such as a Pedestal of Orbing!”

“''Who knows what will happen! (Wiggles fingers in air) *****ERROR: NO FINGERS*****''”

“*****Stares at you awkwardly*****”

When returning to Dave-bot 3000 after talking to others
“''You’ve finished all of the other agent quests? Well Done!''”

“''That was CRAZY and a lot of hard work with you! So long.''”

When talking to Dave-bot 3000 while all quests are complete
“''Welcome back! I find you rather impressive to be honest.''”
