Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus (Transcript)

"Some doors, a couple of windows..." This article is currently being built. Once the article is complete, please remove this template.

Dib: (voiceover) I used to look at space...

The black screen cuts to a buff, anime-styled Dib looking up to the sky.

Dib: ...with hope and wonder in my eyes...until space looked back.

Two red eyes open in the sky. A mouth also appears, smiling evilly at Dib.

Dib: Invader Zim, evil, alien solider of the Irken Empire sent by his diabolical masters, the Almighty Tallest to infiltrate Earth and prepare it for the coming invasion. Disguised as one of us...

Anime-styled Zim slips into his disguise.

Dib: ...he moved into my neighborhood, he went to my school, and with the help of his vile mechanical servants, plotted to destroy everything we have, everything we are...

Helicopter whirls. A crowd shouts.

Dib: And then...

The screen is black again.

Dib: He vanished. My name is Dib Membrane...

His glasses shine.

Dib: I’m 12 years old, and I’m all that stands between Zim, and the annihilation of our world.

The black screen cuts to the words “NOW” in a night sky.

Professor Membrane, reading: NOW...

The camera pans down to the Membrane Household.

Prof. Membrane: Prepare your starving, gurgling child bellies for the awesome eventuality of DINNER!

Foodio 3000 groans, the oven in him shining. The oven dings, the food flying out onto plates. Gaz opens her eyes.

Foodio 3000: Foodio 3000 hopes you love what I have made. Also, what is love?

Gaz: Looks great, Dad.

She points to her food.

Gaz: I’m gonna eat that food.

Prof. Membrane bangs his fist onto the table.

Prof. Membrane: Hold up now, daughter! Isn't it time your brother joined us?

Gaz: Oh, man, no. Since Zim vanished, Dib's been in his room for, like, a million years. I hardly recognize him anymore. He just sits there in that chair getting grosser... smellier.

The screen gets red as it zooms on Gaz. Her eye twitches.

Prof. Membrane: He sure does, but try to be more understanding. Dib's finally letting go of his silly obsession with aliens and ghosts and all his other non-scientific nonsense. And it's not easy for him. Imagine if you stopped believing in, oh, video games.

Gaz: Don't even joke about that, Dad.

Prof. Membrane: Honey, letting go of silly ideas is just part of growing up. Why, as a child, I thought sharks were my friends.

Prof. Membrane pulls his glove off, revealing a robotic arm underneath. He moves his fingers and hand.

Prof. Membrane: I know better now.

Prof. Membrane puts his glove back on.

Prof. Membrane: So, try to be more supportive. He's your brother, after all.

Gaz is now wearing a hazmat suit with “Gazmat” on it. She is carrying a pan.

Gaz: Okay, Dad.

Gaz grunts as she walks upstairs.

Gaz: Hey, Dib! Dad says come to dinner!

Gaz throws the pan on Dib’s door and green fumes come out. Dib is shown from behind as he looks at the monitors. Flies are buzzing around him.

Dib: You know I can't leave my post, Gaz. Just shove the food in here.

Gaz: Where's the shoving stick? I can't shove without the shoving stick.

Gaz leaves.

Dib: Zim's still out there, Gaz, so I have to wait and watch. No one else will. They could never see the truth. Why, though? Brainwashing? Mind control? Brain-erasing ghosts? Nobody believes me now, but I'll make them see. I'll expose Zim to the world, and open humanity's eyes to the danger they were in all along. Even Dad, world-famous man of science will say, "I believe you, Dib. I'm sorry I ever doubted you."

Gaz: That's the worst Dad impression ever, but, Dib, let it go. Zim's been gone a long time, and as far as you know, he might just be gone for good. I'd be willing to bet that Zim will never, ever... Oh, wait, there he is.

Gaz points to one of the monitors.

Dib: It's Zim!

The monitors show Zim and GIR exercising.

Dib: He's back! And he's doing stretches! Nobody stretches like that unless they're warming up for evil! This is it! The... moment I've been... waiting for!

Dib starts to get up. The lights on Gaz’s hazmat suit cut off and she taps it to turn it back on.

Gaz: What are you doing?

Dib: Gotta get to Zim!

Gaz: Dib, no. Look at you. The world's not ready to see what you've become. You're hideous! The smell!

Dib: The world... needs me!

Gaz: Take a bath first! Take... Take a bath!

Gaz gags as her cheeks bulge and tears form in her eyes.

Gaz: No!

The camera zooms into Gaz’s mouth as she screams. The opening credits play as the monitors show Zim, GIR and Minimoose exercising. Cut to Dib making his way down the street to Zim's base as lightning flashes, illuminating his gross form.

Dib: Zim!

Cut to show Zim posing dramatically, one foot planted on GIR's head.

Zim: Yes, it is I, and... Hmm? Oh, wait, sorry. You'll have to move along, hideous goblin. I'm posing dramatically for when the Dib shows up.

Dib: I am Dib.

Zim: What? Ugh, ugh, ugh! Ugh!

Zim starts to gag

Dib: But...

Zim: Give me a sec here.

Dib: We know each other.

Zim: I've been expecting you, Dib!

Dib: I can tell. You set up sprinklers and everything.

Zoom out to show Zim has set up special effect. Zim kicks away the sound effect speaker, unplugs the sprinkler, and shoves the strobe light in GIR’s mouth.

Zim: You can't prove anything! Anyhow, I...

Dib: Where have you been, Zim? I've been monitoring your house, the school, that taco place you love so much.

GIR struggles to swallow the strobe..

Zim: No, no. GIR loves that place. I think it's dirty.

GIR: I ate a baby there.

Zim: He did.

A baby cries in the background.

Dib: What have you been up to, Zim?

Zim: Phase one of my evil plan, human. Phase one.

Flashback reveals Zim hiding in the toilet laughing along with GIR.

Zim: Computer! Laugh with me!

Computer: I don't want to.

The flashback is revealed to be a video on Zim’s phone. Zim laughs and puts the phone away.

Dib: You've been in your house sitting in the toilet all this time?

Zim: Yes.

Dib: Like, the whole time?

Zim: That's right.

Dib: Did you have to sit in the toilet?

Zim gets close to Dib and points a finger in his face.

Zim: Do not try to understand the ways of my people, Dib! From the moment my mission began on this horrible planet, you've been there, haunting my every move like a squak in my shmoopsquizz.

Dib: A what in your huh?

Zim: Uh-huh! And while the rest of your kind were easily fooled, you were able to see through my brilliant disguise.

Zim takes off his wig and contacts. One of Zim’s neighbors spits out his soda and points to Zim.

Neighbor: Martha!

Martha pushes her face against the window.

Martha: Eh?

Neighbor: The neighbor boy's an alien!

Zim puts his disguise back on.

Neighbor: Never mind, Martha. He's normal.

Martha: Okay.

Martha slides back down. The neighbor drinks his soda.

Zim: I knew if I vanished for long enough, you'd just watch and wait, your neglected body growing smelly and useless. But that was only Phase One of my evil plan. Well, keep watching, Dookie-Dib. Watch helplessly as I begin... Phase Two! Hah!

Dib: No!

Zim: I'm switching people's mail around.

Dib: That's illegal! No!

Zim: I'm reading someone's newspaper! I don't pay for a subscription! Haha!

Dib: Nobody reads newspapers anymore, but, no, stop!

Zim: Minimoose, get in on this mayhem!

Minimoose floats to Poonchy’s car. It looks at a sticker of a slice of pizza.

Poonchy: That's my mom's pizza sticker. She is crazy for pizza.

Minimoose pulls the sticker off the car.

Poonchy: Hey, what... what are you... Hey, that... that's... Hey, don't... Wait. Don't! Don't! Don't!

Poonchy screams in gibberish as Minimoose puts the sticker to its side.

Minimoose: Nyah!

Zim: Excellent.

GIR: Me! Me! Let me do one.

GIR runs over to a dog and eats it. He shoots it out in the air.

GIR: I launched that pug into space.

Zim: I thought you liked that pig.

A crash is heard and a car goes off in the background.

GIR: Why I do that?

Zim: What's the matter, human? Why aren't you stopping me?

Dib: Can't fight back. Sat too long. Chair fused to butt. More chair than man now.

Zim: Humans are such fragile, goopy things. No Irken would ever become a chair.

Dib: Wait! Was that Phase Two?

Zim: Of course it was! Probably. Uh... You know what? Now I'm not sure. Either way, you're helpless to stop me, Chair-Dib. So long!

Roboparents: Welcome home, son.

Dib: Zim!

Dib is dragged away by the lawn gnomes as he watches Zim and his robots fade into his base, eyes glowing red. Cut to inside Zim's house as a set of robotic arms descend from the ceiling and remove his disguise.

Zim: Excellent work, me! All is going according to plan, but there's still much to do, GIR.

GIR: Yes, sir!

GIR pulls down the hood of his disguise, screams dramatically, and runs to the couch to turn on the TV.

Floopsy: (On TV) I bloop you, Schmoopsy!

Schmoopsy: Floopsy...

TV: Aww.

Zim: Computer!

Computer: (groans) What?

Zim: Open a connection with the Almighty Tallest, my leaders and biggest fans.

Computer: Preparing to call The Tallest.

Zim: You see, GIR, The Tallest...

Computer: Now calling The Tallest!

Zim: The Tallest haven't heard from me, their greatest and most incredible invader, in a very long time. They'll be sick with worry.

Cut to deep space, as the Massive blows up several planets it passes by. Zoom in on the Tallest on the bridge watching all this with bored expressions, Red drinking a soda and Purple eating donuts from a bag.

Purple: Hey... remember Invader Zim?

Red: Who?

Purple: Zim! Tiny? Screamed a lot?

Red: The guy that sends us the donuts?

Purple: No, that's Invader Jim. He's great!

Red: Oh, wait! Zim! We hate him!

Purple: Yeah, that's him! Remember the time we lied and told him we were sending him on a secret mission to Earth, but really we were just getting rid of him because he's awful?

Red: Yeah. We're hilarious.

Navigator: My Tallest, there's an incoming transmission.

Purple: Yep, life's been pretty great ever since Zim vanished for good. Anyhow, send that transmission through. I wonder who it could ever be.

Zim appears on the main screen

Zim: It is I, Zim!

Red growls in frustration while Purple spits out a stream of soda. He pauses to eat another donut, then spits some more, the stream knocking a Table-Headed Service Drone off of the platform they're on.

Zim: My Tallest, you will be overjoyed to know Phase One of my most ingenious plan to prepare Earth for your arrival was a success.

Red: Zim? We thought you were dead!

Zim: Could a dead Zim do this?

Zim dances excitedly. GIR makes a happy noise and imitates him while still sitting on the couch, Minimoose bobbing up and down in the air as well.

Zim: Sirs, my Earthly arch-nemesis is now a sad chair, leaving me free to complete the most diabolical phase of my plan, Phase Two, wherein I, uh... Uh, uh, uh...

Several cuts of Zim standing in various spots as he tries to remember his plan.

Zim: Computer, put them on hold. Oh, no. I really can't remember what Phase Two is. I must have sat in that toilet too long. Think, Zim. Think.

Red: We don't care, Zim.

Zim: Why didn't I write it down? Wait! Computer, play back any recordings of me discussing Phase Two.

Computer: One recording found.

(The screen cuts to Zim standing in the kitchen with GIR lying in a chair nearby)

Computer: Would you like me to record any and all mention of Phase Two?

Zim: No, thank you. Zim forgets nothing.

(The screen cuts back to Red and Purple)

Zim: Hmm, besides reminding me how cool I look and sound, that was of no help.

Red: He knows we can still see and hear him, right?

Purple: I liked when he was dead!

GIR: I remember Phase Two!

Zim: You do? Good work, GIR! Tell me.

GIR: You gonna order a million pizzas, and then I gotta roll around in them pizzas, and that's the story about how I turn into a giant pizza.

GIR sticks his tongue out with a squeak. Zim looks at him with a irritated face.

Zim: This isn't the time for the giant pizza story, GIR. And that will never happen!

GIR cries as he throws his body around. His wails and screams are heard in the background.

Zim: Silence! I need to think! Just calm down and... Computer, did you put The Tallest on hold?

Computer: Nope.

Zim: AHHH!!!

Zim deploys the legs from his PAK and blows up the screen, leaving the Tallest looking at static. We see that a hole has been clean through into the neighbors' house, leaving them looking at Zim.

Martha: Huh?

Zim: I don't think they heard anything.

GIR: Yes, they did!

Zim: I am Irk's finest Invader. If The Tallest find out I failed to dominate the Earth because I forgot Phase Two, who knows what they'll do?

GIR: Hmm?

Zim imagines himself in shackles on Judgementia, the Tallest and the Control Brains looking down on him.

Red: Invader Zim, you were once our best, most amazing Invader, but now, you're dumb.

Purple: Also stupid. As punishment, you will be stripped of your Invader rank, re-encoded as nothing.

Zim: But you can't! I am Zim!

Red: Control Brains, re-encode.

Control Brains: Re-encoding.

Tendrils from the Control Brains hook into Zim's PAK and reprogram him.

Control Brains: It is done, My Tallest.

Purple: Zim, you will live out the rest of your long, sad days as...

Zim screams as he's tossed aside and eaten by a giant worm monster that pops up out of nowhere.

Purple: Wait, no, never mind.

Cut back to Zim in reality.

Zim: GIR, time is of the essence. The Tallest could be here any day now... and Dib won't stay a chair forever. Go to my scheming lab, and bring me everything that could be Phase Two. Quickly!

Montage sequence of Zim looking over potential plans, while Dib works out to get back in shape.

Zim: Useless dookie! I need more time to remember Phase Two. Computer, how much longer do I have before The Tallest arrive?

Computer: Information unknown.

Zim: Unacceptable. Access The Tallest's computers and retrieve their flight plan.

Zim descends into the lower levels of his base.

Computer: (in British accent) Ooh, yes, right away, sir.

Zim: Are you doing an accent?

Computer: I get bored. P.S. There is insufficient power to access the flight plan.

Zim: Then find more power, and be sneaky about it.

Cut to outside the base, as cables burst out and wrap around other buildings, draining power from them and causing a blackout. One cable drains the Neighbor into a shriveled husk.

Computer: Activating sneaky mode. Sneaking! Sneaking! Sneaking! Sneaking!

People are heard screaming.

Cut to inside Zim's base as he floats on a platform towards a screen projecting a blue hologram of the universe, with a pink line running through it.

Computer: Flight plan retrieved.

Zim: Along this line is every world the Irken Armada plans to conquer, but where's Earth? The Tallest said it was the most important mission of all. Computer, zoom out.

Computer: Zooming out.

Zim: Hmm. Keep zooming out until you find out how far The Tallest are from Earth.

Computer: Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out.

Zim: Hurry it up.

Computer: Zooming out. Zooming out.

Zim: Vamanos! I must begin Phase Two before Dib gets back into annoying fighting shape.

Computer: Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out. Zooming out.

Zim: Hmm, I'm sure it's there, somewhere.

Cut to the Membrane house. Dib lifts weights.

Dib: I was in bad shape, then I got too in shape, now I'm back to normal shape.

Dib puts his clothes on and gets his accessories. He stands proudly before farting the chair off of him. The chair breaks the window and crashes offscreen. A cat is heard yowling.

Gaz: Oh, man, Dib, not the coat.

Dib: It makes me look mysterious. Now, step aside. I've got a Zim to stop.

Outside, Professor Membrane is showing four kids a bracelet.

Prof. Membrane: All right, test children. These bracelets are just prototypes, so try not to breathe or think while the energy field is... What? Oh. Behold, my boy child! I can't remember the last time I saw you this excited about science. Huh? My new Peace Day edition Membracelet. Tomorrow at my big keynote event, I reveal it to the world. And when Peace Day comes, the children of the Earth will hold hands and...

Prof. Membrane looks at Dib’s suitcase.

Prof. Membrane: Wait a minute. The alien-hunting briefcase? Oh, son. Not this nonsense again.

Dib: Dad, trying to save the Earth from Zim's alien evil is not nonsense. Without me, there might not be an Earth to hold hands around.

Prof. Membrane: Son, there are no aliens. I've tried to be patient with your unscientific interests... ...bigfeets, ghosts, vampire-bees...

Dib: You saw those sting marks, and you know I eat a lot of honey now.

Prof. Membrane: Well, as a man of science, I need proof, and I just haven't seen...

Dib: Proof? Proof?

Cut to Dib and Prof. Membrane at the garage. Dib opens the door.

Dib: How do you need more proof than this?

The camera shows items collected from previous episodes, including the Food Launcher from the Pilot.

Dib: (offscreen) Everything I've collected from my countless battles with Zim, from my daring travels into the unknown things your science has closed its eyes to.

Prof. Membrane: It makes it very difficult to get to the lawnmower.

Dib: That's Tak's ship, an alien spaceship I captured from one of Zim's alien enemies.

Prof. Membrane: Shouldn't spaceships fly?

Dib: It will, as soon as it lets me fix it.

Tak's Ship: Dib, your face is stupid.

Prof. Membrane: It's a fine, fake spaceship you've built there, son, but...

Dib: Fake? It's not... Dad, nobody believes me, so I'm used to defending our world on my own, but I wish, just once, you'd have my back.

Prof. Membrane: Wishing isn't very scientific, son.

Dib groans in frustration as he kicks Tak’s Ship and leaves the garage. Membrane stands outside the garage. A wimpier bee flies onto a jar of honey and screeches. Cut to Zim’s house. Dib walks to the doorstep and knocks on the door.

Dib: This ends today, Zim! I'm ready for everything you got!

The door opens itself and Dib looks inside.

Announcer: Welcome back once again... .countdown to Peace Day...

GIR notices Dib, stands up and goes into Duty Mode.

GIR: Intruder! Prepare to come on in!

GIR switches back to his regular self and sits back down. Dib walks inside the house and looks around.

Announcer: I'm Ian Cornish, your host, on this beautiful, sunny day. And joining us for our countdown to Peace Day is Bloaty the Pig. What do you have for us, Bloaty?

Dib: Hey, Zim's evil robot. Where's Zim?

GIR puts a finger to Dib’s mouth and he looks at the TV.

Bloaty: This my special pizza I make just for Peace Day.

Bloaty vomits a whole pizza onto a window. The children cheer and a hand is seen grabbing a slice.

Bloaty: It got ten kinds of pizza inside the pizza, so that's pretty good.

Bloaty frowns. The children cheer once more.

Zim: Where's Zim?

GIR: I don't know! I worry about that boy so much. You want some nachos?

GIR offers Minimoose, who is covered in cheese, to Dib.

Minimoose: Nyah.

Dib: Uh, no, thank you.

Zim: Hey, keep it down out here. I'm trying to be miserable in my cheesy cocoon of misery.

GIR licks the cheese off Minimoose.

Dib: What's going on in here? What's all this junk?

Zim: Yeah, they're all experiments that I was hoping would be Phase Two of my plan.

Dib: Is that supposed to be my dad?

Membrane Clone: Oh, hello, son!

Zim: Yeah. I figured he could replace your actual dad. And then, I don't know, ground you forever or something. I just couldn't get it to make pudding the way you love so much. It ruined the illusion! I don't love pudding.

Dib: What's that smell?

Zim: The smell's all me. What you gonna do about it?

Dib: I'm gonna lock you up, is what!

Zim: Fine, I don't care.

Dib: Wait, really? Why?

Zim: This is the flight path of the Irken Armada. And there, shmillions of light years away from that path is Earth. Do you see what this means, human?

DIb: That your leaders only fly in a straight line?

Zim: The Tallest aren't coming!

Dib: So, you really give up? I actually finally win? Earth is safe.

Zim: I've lost the respect of My Tallest!

Dib: Uh... Come on, man.

TV: There may come a time when we at Membrane Labs stop making the world more amazing.

Dib: You know, my dad doesn't respect what I do, either.

TV: That time is not now.

Dib: He thinks I'm crazy like the rest of the world... the world I just saved without anybody knowing.

TV: Tomorrow, at the Membrane Labs Keynote, we make history again. Membrane Labs. Who wants a better everything?

Dib: Wait a minute, the keynote! Dad's announcing the new Membracelet tomorrow. The whole world'll be watching. If I could somehow take control of Dad's keynote stream, I can expose a real alien, you, live in front of the entire planet.

Prof. Membrane: I believe you, Dib. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

GIR: Whoo! Yeah, yeah!

Dib: You just might still be good for something, Zim. What do you say?

Zim: Fine. I don't care.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am so very proud to announce... the new Peace Day edition Membracelet!

Gaz: Dib, why is Zim here?

Dib: Don't worry about it, Gaz. It's... I'll explain later.

Gaz: This is Dad's big night. Don't even think of doing anything dumb, or...

Gaz raises a fist near Dib’s face. Dib puts the fist down.

Dib: Gaz, don't worry. Just go. Enjoy the show. I'm sure it's gonna be something special. Whew. Okay, Zim. Did you use your alien stuff to take over the control room?

Zim: Oh, yeah. Give me a minute.

Prof. Membrane: ...apps such as Peanut Simulator...

Zim: I updated your bracelet. Just hit that button, and you'll be in control of everything.

Dib: Is this update squeaking?

Zim: I guess so.

Dib: I can't believe I'm saying it, but this is your greatest work ever!

Zim: Eh.

Prof. Membrane: As you know, tomorrow is Peace Day, and nobody is as excited for the big celebration as I am.

Man: I am!

Prof. Membrane runs to the person in one second, sending other members flying. He points to the man.

Prof. Membrane: Not scientifically possible!

Prof. Membrane leaves, other members looking at him.

Prof Membrane: Children. We discovered they generate an energy field of limitless, chaotic potential. We call that child energy "Childergy." The new Membracelet harnesses that childergy and channels it outward as pure peace and joy. - Ooh. - Tomorrow, children will hold hands... ...encircling the planet in Membracelets to bring about a peace unlike any the world has ever known. Get ready to see the truth, world, but specifically, Dad. Huh? Oh, no. Greetings, fellow humans.

Dib: Zim? Wait, what? Where's my dad?

Zim: I'm, eh, Professor Zim. Oh, so that other guy just retired and put me in charge, and I just made some exciting new changes to the bracelet.

Eww! No! Wait!

Dib: Zim's an alien! No! He..

Zim's recorded voice: He's so cool. We should all do everything he says, no matter how evil it sounds. Hail Zim!

Zim: Yes, be joyous, you fools. Buy my bracelet, and get ready for the most peaceful Peace Day your grotesque eyeballs have ever seen! The bracelet comes in four colors!

The crowd cheers and grabs Zim. He laughs. Dib looks at him. Gaz, who is in the same treatment as Dib, growls next to Dib, but the scene cuts to Dib waking up, screaming.

Dib: No! Please say that was just a horrible nightmare.

Prof. Membrane’s voice: Son!

Dib: Dad?

Prof. Membrane’s voice: Breakfast is ready.

Dib: Yes! Yes! Yes, yes! Good morning, Da... Oh, no!

Membrane Clone: Happy Peace Day, son! You is grounded forever. Bweakfast is da most science-y meal of da day. Doop, doop, doop Doop, doop, doop, do Pudding.

Foodio 3000: If Foodio 3000 could just perhaps...

Membrane Clone: No, foody guy! I taking care of it. These my kids and science and stuff.

Dib: Gaz, I'm so sorry. Zim tricked me. I didn't mean for any of this to...

Gaz: What? You didn't mean to ruin Dad's big show, get him kidnapped, and hand Zim the keys to Membrane Labs while you and I are held prisoner by something that looks like Dad having an allergic reaction to radioactive bees?

Membrane Clone: Eh, something the matter, honey?

Gaz: Nah, it's cool, Dad.

Dib: How can you be so calm? That thing isn't Dad.

Gaz: Yeah, look. Just go along with...

Dib: You're not our dad!

Gaz: Oh, man, here we go.

Membrane Clone: That's a terrible thing to say, son.

The Membrane Clone throws a tantrum and somehow gets stuck up the ceiling.

Gaz: Oh, Dib, always kidding. Of course, he's our dad. Great breakfast, Dad.

Dib: Is it good pudding?

Gaz: It's the worst pudding I've ever had in my life.

Membrane Clone: Thanks, honey. It's not easy taking care of two kids on my own... It's so rewarding.

Dib: You're a clone. Our real dad's been kidnapped by Zim.

Membrane Clone: Son, it not nice to say bad things about your best friend.

Dib: Zim is not my best friend.

Membrane Clone: He's wonderful.

Dib: No, he's the worst.

Membrane Clone: You love Zim?

Dib: No! I hate him! He's the most...

Membrane Clone: I love Zim.

Dib sits back down and eats a spoonful of his pudding.

Gaz: We need to get out of here. And find Dad, but Clembrane's fast.

Dib: Clembrane?

Gaz: Clone, membrane. And yeah, I already tried busting out every possible way. No luck.

Dib: You tried escaping without me?

Gaz: Let's focus on the now, Dib. Every move I made, he was there to stop me.

Clembrane: Remember, kids, I'm here for you if you ever need to talk about stuff... Stay in school. Brush your teeth.

Gaz: That's good advice, Dad.

Clembrane: Ooh, it's time for Peace Day now!

Clembrane runs to the living room, breaking walls.

If you're just tuning in to our Peace Day coverage... ...you're watching Zim, the new head of Membrane Labs, personally overseeing the sale of his new Membracelet from one of the new mobile M-Labs Stores deployed all around the world. Yeah! Yeah! So, this show is just Zim laughing the whole time? And that concludes the laughing portion of the program.

Zim: People of Earth, of which I am one, because I am human and inferior and disgusting just like you are, Happy Peace Day! My amazing new Peace Day Bracelet is a huge success! You, barely sentient bag of meat and juice, what do you think of my new bracelet?

Woman: I love it! It's a lot more alive than I expected, though.

Zim: It sure is. Already, children around the world are beginning to hold hands. Soon, the ring of children will connect right here, and my greatest plan shall be revealed!

News: He really does seem to love his job.

Dib: Wait a minute. That place looks familiar. Is that... Zim! Get off my lawn!

Zim: Hi, Dib! What are you doing here?

Dib: I live here!

Zim: You're gonna have to speak up!

Dib: You won't get away with this!

Zim: What?

Dib: You won't get a...

Zim: What?

Dib: You won't get awa...

Zim: What?

Dib: You won't get away...

Zim: What?

Dib: You...

Zim: What?

Dib appears on the news, his head five times bigger than it should be. Gaz’s eyes widen as she points to the TV.

Gaz: Dib, check out how huge your head looks on TV!

Clembrane: I'm here for you, buddy. Come here.

Zim: Work harder, children. Harder! Don't you want world peace? Work harder for Zim. Hi, Dib. Look at them, GIR. All this time trying to subjugate the humans, and all I had to do was charge them for it. But the children of Earth are letting me down. I need you to use the power of your Irken robot brain to create a song about peace. One so inspiring, the children will have no choice but to peace harder!

GIR: Like this?

GIR makes trumpet noises while making armpit farts. When he’s finished, he makes a “mmhmm” noise.

Zim: No, GIR. Try again.

GIR: Oh. I think I know.

Zim: Yes. Yes.

GIR: Peace is nice Peace is nice Peace is better than Chicken and rice! Peace, peace, peace Nice, nice, nice Peace, peace Chicken, chicken Rice, rice, rice

Kids: [Along with GIR] Peace is nice Peace is nice Peace is better than Chicken and rice! Peace, peace, peace Rice, rice, rice Peace is nice Peace is nice Peace is better than Chicken and rice Peace, peace, peace Peace, peace Chicken, chicken Rice, rice, rice Peace is nice...

Zim: It's working! It's working!

Dib: Stop! Zim's done something to the bracelets! Don't hold hands!

Gaz: Relax. It's Zim we're talking about. Whatever he's got planned, it's not gonna work.

Dib: Nothing happened, Zim!

Zim: Of course nothing happened, human. It's not enough to simply attach a space-phasing alien horror blob to these bracelets. "Space phasing"? You'd also need something with the power to harness the dark energy of space to activate them. Only one being in the known universe has such a power. My creation, Minimoose. Behold my victory! Look at me being wrong.

Dib: What have you done, Zim?

Zim: I've teleported the Earth to a part of space directly in the path of the Irken Armada. Now The Tallest have to visit me next.

Dib: Where's our dad?

Gaz: You what?

Dib: I can't believe I fell for your sad, shmoopy act!

Zim: My shmoop was no act. I truly felt I had failed The Tallest, but then you told me about the power of the bracelet, inspiring me. It's funny, really. Laughter, GIR. And I owe it all to... I smell pudding. ...to you!

Dib: Is that part of your brilliant plan, Zim?

Zim: Eh, probably. I mean, I'm so incredible, even I don't know everything I do. Computer, what is that thing in space that just happened?

Computer: Thing is a Florpus Hole created by the incredibly stupid teleportation of an entire planet.

Zim: And is "Florpus Hole" as cool as it sounds?

Computer: Florpus Hole will suck in all nearby worlds, wherein they will collide violently with alternate realities.

Zim: There, you see? It's just a shmorpus hole. Besides, The Tallest'll get here long before there's any trouble.

Di: Zim, that Florpus is gonna destroy the Earth, you included! If you're so worried about the Florpus, just get your dad to help.

Clembrane: I'm over here, everybody.

Zim: He's only a shmillion light years away on Moo-Ping 10, also known as Space Prison! Why don't you hop in your spaceship and go rescue him? Oh, wait, you don't have a spaceship! Lawrence! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some Tall company on the way.

Dib: Zim!

Navigator: My Tallest? Something appears to have appeared in our path.

What is it?

Navigator: A terrifying, deadly space anomaly.

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, interesting.

Navigator: Mmm, yeah, okay. As well as the planet Earth.

Purple: Earth? That means Zim!

This is the worst news I've ever heard.

Navigator: Sirs, we still have quite a bit of time to change course. But we're going straight.

Yeah. Turning's no fun. Why is this happening? Make it not happen.

Dib: It's been ten years, Gaz. Ten long years trapped in this house with the pudding monster.

Gaz: It's been two days, but yeah.

Clembrane: How come you kids don't play with the science puppy I made for you?

Dib: Because it's pudding.

I hate this as much as you do, but it's not like anyone can just walk out the front door.

Gaz: Okay, it's not like we can just walk out the front door, but maybe we can... Hmm. Hey, Dad.

Dib: Stop calling him "Dad!"

Narrator: Now, pay close attention to that ham, 'cause it's not the last time you're gonna see that ham in the story.

Gaz: Dad, you and Dib need more father-son time together. Just look at him. He's all messed up, needs more quality time with you.

Ooh, I see what you mean. You got any suggestions? Hmm.

Clembrane: This was a good idea, honey. Science projects bring families together. How can I help you, son? You need me to put some science pudding on it?

Dib: Uh, maybe later. You just keep stirring, uh, Dad. Whoa.

Tak's Ship: Festering human, you have stolen me away from my rightful owner!

Look, ship, I get that you don't like me and all, but we need your help. I don't help anyone but Tak. See? It's no use. You hate Dib, right?

Tak's Ship: Affirmative.

But you hate Zim even more.

Tak's Ship: Correct.

I see where you're going with this. Helping us break our dad out of Moopington would...

Tak's ship: Wait, do you mean Moo-Ping 10?

Right. It would make Zim super unhappy. Flawless logic. I will help you. Yes! - On one condition. - What's that?

Tak's Ship: Disconnect my seat sensors so I don't feel your terrible human butts in me.

Deal.

Clembrane: We did it, kids. Hurray for science.

Dib: Right. Now, about that pudding... Don't wait up for us, Clembrane!

Tak's Ship: Oh. You guys have a deadly Florpus Hole now.

That's new. Yeah. Let's hurry, ship.

Tak's Ship: Don't tell me what to do. But okay.

Zim: Now, this is what I like to see, GIR. Pathetic humans fleeing in terror at the sight of Zim! Nobody even looking at you. It's a show of respect. Their stupid eyes can't handle all this. Anyhow, terrible work on the signs, GIR, worse than I expected. Aww, thank you.

Zim: Did you build me that throne I asked for?

GIR: Mmm-hmm.

Zim: Excellent. Now, to ascend this throne, and claim my rightful place as... Hah! But where are the flames? I can't rule the world without cool flames shooting up behind me.

GIR: Hit the flames button!

Zim: A h-ha! Wait, are those peanuts?

GIR: Oops. Try the peanuts button.

Zim: All right, flames, uh, peanuts, flames, uh, peanuts? Oh! Hmm? The peanuts! Oh, whoa, whoa. The Tallest will be so happy!

Tallests: We're so unhappy!

Zim's so close, I can almost smell him. Sirs, really, it's no big deal. We can just steer around the... Wait, why steer around the Earth when we can just blow it up? Yeah, we're great at blowing stuff up. What is that? - It appears to be a... - Blow it up!

Navigator:But, sirs, there's still the life-destroying space hole to consider.

Man, this guy. "I fly the spaceship, and I sure love steering!" Yeah. "Ooh, look at me steering all over the place. Look at me steering with my wittle steering hands." I like that we're funny.

Dib and Gaz: Hey!

Tak's ship: Your noises are bad. Also, we're here. Moo-Ping 10, prison to the galaxy's most infamous criminals.

Okay, their defenses are about to go down. How do you know? Just get ready. All right, now what?

Tak's Ship: I'll go cause a diversion and come back when you've found your dog.

Our dad.

Tak's Ship: Whatever.

Dib: That's our diversion.

Gaz: You ready?

Dib: I was born ready, Gaz. This spy coat isn't just to look cool.

Dib: Now we'll never find Dad!

Tears well up in Dib’s eyes and he falls to the floor, crying.

Gaz: Oh, uh, normally, you crying on the floor is hilarious, but come on.

Dib: It's all my fault, Gaz. Why aren't you saying I told you so?

Gaz: 'Cause making fun of you is no fun when you're this sad. You're my brother, man. I only torment you because I know you can handle it. I've done way worse than throwing you in a space prison. This is nothing. Get up!

Dib: I was supposed to save the world, Gaz, not help Zim destroy it. I was gonna show people the truth. I knew if they saw something amazing, even if it was horrible, like Zim, people would just wake up, and stop obsessing over all the little things and see that there was something bigger out there, something to unite against. Instead of fighting each other, the world would know there was...

Gaz: Hey, Dib! Shut up and look!

Dib: Dad!

Prof. Membrane: Son!

The kids smile as they hug their dad.

Aliens: Aww!

Prof. Membrane: I didn't want to interrupt your lovely, imaginary speech.

Dib: Imaginary?

Prof. Membrane: Well, the last thing I remember was something hitting me on the head and starting this incredible hallucination.

Dib: No, this is all really happening. Zim used your bracelets to teleport the Earth to another part of the universe!

Do you know how? Uh, he's not gonna know how.

Prof. Membrane: Son, the Membracelet is just for running apps and world peace, but, oh, theoretically... ...one could use it to, say, create a galactic star gate of sorts, yes.

Alien: What? That's crazy, yo.

Prof. Membrane: Well, we knew it was possible, but only with the addition of a purely theoretical alien horror blob energized by a purely theoretical tiny purple space moose. But all those things don't exist, so we didn't worry about it.

Dib: Minimoose! Dad, if you had that purple space moose, could you use it to teleport the Earth back where it belongs?

Prof. Membrane: Theoretically, mmm-hmm.

Gaz: Too bad we're in prison.

Tak's Ship: Three human butts is too many, so I brought this. Hop in.

This is all so real! Not a hallucination.

Gaz: Shotgun!

See you later! Only enough room in there for you guys, I guess. Yay!

Tak’s Ship: Hang on to your disgusting butts!

Dib: What's with you and butts?

Okay, okay. Okay, enough running and screaming. Let's mix it up a bit. Maybe bow down before me or something. Hmm, leaping is good. Well, that was very convincing. Because it's real, Dad! How could anything that horrifying be real? Dad, the Earth's minutes away from being destroyed! Why are you laughing?

Prof. Membrame: Minimoose is a funny name.

Tak's ship: Normally, I'd say "Don't touch me," but maybe a little help?

Huh? This isn't good. Gaz!

Prof. Membrane: Marvelous! I truly believe I'm falling to a hideous death!

Dib: Hang on, Dad! Don't let go!

Prof. Membrane: Don't worry. None of this is real.

Dib: I'll prove everything to you. Just hang on! You'll be proud of me!

Prof. Membrane: Son, you don't have to prove anything. I'm always proud of you.

Dib: Dad!

Zim: I did it, GIR. The humans cower in fear before my superior Irken might, and just in time. Is that The Tallest I see approa... Dib?

Dib: You... Give me the moose.

Dib: Zim, that moose is the only thing that can save Earth from your Florpus!

Zim: Get your own moose, human! This one's mine! Hah, I think you're cool too, Minimoose.

Dib: Stop! We're running out of time!

Zim: You're ugly when you lie, Dib!

Dib: I'm not lying!

Zim: Then why are you ugly?

Dib: Give me the moose.

Zim: No!

Dib: Give me the moose.

Zim: No!

Dib: Give me the moose.

Zim: No! I liked you better when you were a chair!

Dib: And I liked you better when you were a toilet!

Zim: I was not a toilet!

Dib: Leprechaun cat, no...

Zim: I was hiding in the toilet.

Zim: Well, he's dead. GIR, all this evil is doing a number on my throat. Fetch me a soothing lozenge!

Dib: Dad!

Prof. Membrane: Why are you wearing those shirts? I never hired any of you! Don't worry, son. I've got your back.

Zim: Spencer! Devon! Maria! Lawrence! No! GIR, avenge your robot brothers and Maria.

GIR: Yes, my master!

Zim: You're terrible, GIR!

Dib:It's over, Zim.

Zim: Oh, it is? Well, now I'm sad. Wait! Have you forgotten?

Clembrane: You're grounded!

Dib: Uh-oh.

Clembrane: And you, get away from my son!

Prof. Membrane: Uh... ...what's happening? What is this thing?

Dib: He's you, Dad.

What? Who's me, son? I'm me. But who's that? Pudding break.

Prof. Membrane: I'm very confused right now.

Zim: So, it has been revealed. You've discovered the clone is not actually your real father!

You told me he wasn't my real father.

Clembrane: Pudding break over.

Prof. Membrane: Oh, this feels so real!

Dib: We need that moose, Dad!

Zim: Nothing's uglier than moose jealousy, Dib. Ooh, what the... Where did...

Tak's Ship: Yours is the worst... butt of them... butt of them all, Zim.

Gax: Dib! Do you still have that ham I gave you?

Dib: Of course! The ham!

Narrator: See? There's that ham again.

Gaz: Ham!

Gaz throws the ham at Zim.

Prof Membrane: Great work, honey, but...

Gaz: Oops.

Clembrane: Honey, fighting doodn't solve anything. Also, I found this little moose thing. Look at it. Isn't it funny?

Zim: I command you to return the moose and destroy the Membrane family!

Clembrane: But... they my family. And that guy, it's like looking into a mirror.

Prof. Membrane: Oh, I don't know about...

Zim: I should've known you'd fail me! You couldn't even learn to make pudding the right way.

Dib: Hey! You leave Clembrane alone!

Gaz: Yeah! (in British accent) It's the best pudding I've ever had in my life.

Zim: Excellent. Now, just... No!

Dib: It's happening! Use the moose!

Prof. Membrane: Uh, right. Use the moose. Um, okay.

Dib: Everyone, hold hands again.

Gaz: Yeah! Your lives depend on it!

Poonchy: Okay! Hold my hand.

Gaz slaps his hand.

Gaz: No way! Be serious! Now, come on, everyone. Faster!

GIR: I did my best.

Zim: It's no use, Dib. You've lost. The Irken Armada is already here. Forward cannons now at full power.

Prof. Membrane: Almost have it.

Dib: Dad, hurry! We're entering the Florpus!

Zim: Zim has won!

Dib: No pressure, Dad, but...[screams]

Prof. Membrane: Cut me some slack! This is my first moose!

Zim: Relax. It's just realities colliding like my computer said.

Dib: And tearing Earth apart, you moron!

Prof. Membrane: I've got it!

Earth is teleported away.

Navigator: My Tallest, the Earth... It's gone.

Red: That's great news. Crisis averted.

Purple: Hurray! Now we don't have to turn.

Navigator: Sirs, there's still the horrifying space hole straight ahead!

Purple: Why are you so negative?

The Tallest cheer as the Armada flies into the Florpus.

The Tallest: Yay! Whoo-hoo! Yeah...

Cut back to Earth, with a big bandage on the planet, where the city is being rebuilt. Cut to the Membrane house.

Prof. Membrane: Now, prepare your eating faces for incalculable nutrition!

Foodio presents food for Gaz and Dib. The kids look at their plates with hungry expressions.

Gaz: Good work, Foodio.

Foodio 3000: Thank you, Gazlene. I hope you can taste the love simulation I made it with.

Clembrane splatters pudding on the food.

Clembrane: Just one final ingwedient. Family and pudding and science and wobots and stuff.

Dib: So, does he live here now or what?

Prof. Membrane: I'm still very confused.

Zim appears at the window.

Zim: Enjoying your losers' meal, eh, Dib?

Dib: "Losers"? Your plan failed.

Zim: Did it, Dib? Did it? What if I told you my plan all along was to steal this whatever-it-is? [Zim holds up a ceramic dog figurine] Phase Two. It was Phase Two all along.

Dib: Is that the ceramic clown puppy from our living room?

Zim: Who's laughing now, Dib? I am, see?

Zim, who is standing on top of GIR, falls off and disappears.

Prof. Membrane: Why didn't you invite your little green friend in for dinner, son?

Dib: Dad, that was Zim, the alien who almost destroyed the world, remember?

Prof. Membrane puts a hand on Dib's shoulder.

Prof. Membrane: Son, of course I remember.

Dib looks hopeful.

Prof. Membrane: I remember getting hit on the head and dreaming up all that craaaaazy stuff!

Dib: (voice breaking) What?

Cut to Zim's base.

GIR: What's happening? Is everything over?

Zim: Yes, GIR, I'm just waiting for The Tallest to answer this call so I can tell them all about my success.

GIR: Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win?

Zim: Of course. Zim always wins...

Sound of a car parking outside, followed by a door opening. Minimoose floats in and passes by.

Zim: No thanks to you working with the enemy.

Minimoose: Nya!

Zim: Heh, good one, Minimoose. I can't stay mad at you. Ah, here we go. My Tallest, I am pleased to report my plan was a success and I now have Dib's puppy clown thing, which was my plan all along. Does this please you?

The screen resolves to show the Tallest, having transformed into puppets and screaming as they're surrounded by flames.

Zim: That sounded like a yes to me.

Zim poses dramatically, only for the pug that was launched into space to crash through and the ceiling and crush him.

GIR: Yay! I missed you so much!

GIR grabs the pug and launches him again.

The end credits play with various crude drawings of the cast.

Post-credits scene of the pug floating in space.
