ZimWe cannot fail, GIR. Even as a small Irken smeet my dream was to pass probing day like a Slor Beast passes her young. Jiggly! And full of juice...
ZimMy empire of doom begins NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!
ZimOh, that's Mini-Moose, my other sidekick. Yep, been with me the whole time.
ZimFool! My fellow hideous inferior human pig smellies are insulted by this constant slander!
ZimGive me back my PAK, Dib! I need it to live! Without it, I can only survive in ten minutes and the countdown has already started! I am not going to expire on this filthy planet because of you!
ZimNow to unleash screaming temporal doom.
[The hunter destroyer machine goes into the portal, but is immediately shot back out. Cue the reason:]
Object not compatible with temporal field.
ZimOh, not compatible!? Is this thing just completely useless? Not compatible.
[Zim grabs GIR's rubber piggy and chucks it. It bounces off of the overturned Hunter-Destroyer machine and - much to Zim's surprise - goes into the time portal. The rest is altered history...]
Object accepted. Temporal displacement to process.
ZimHuh?
[Deep Voice] YOU WILL PAY FOR RUINING MY CHILDHOOD, ZIM! YOU WILL PAY!
ZimThat last piggy should have reduced him to nothing. What happened? Where did history go wrong?
ZimOnly one left? NOOOOOO!
Yay, We're Doomed!
ZimOf course, my scary sister. I obey.
Of course, my scary sister. I obey.
Zim[back to normal voice] That was them! I have to return this thing now!
No! I'm still watching it! I wanna see what happens! I need it! [GIR knocks his bag of Poop Corn off of the couch and starts crying.] Whu...WHHHHHHHHYYYYYY!?! [Zim takes the DVD of the movie and walks out the door with it. GIR runs around in circles screaming and crying. He stops running and hops in place. He holds his head and screams a long high pitched scream and then falls to the floor, asleep and snoring.]
No. I'm sick of waiting and watching. I should take action! I'm… talking out loud some more. Odd. I'M GOING FOR IT! [jumps into the air and lands on Zim's lawn, dodges the gnomes as they lock on him and end up blasting their heads off, and lands on Zim's doorstep, making several poses and knocks on the door]
Zim[answers the door; confused] Huh?
I've got a few things to tell you, Zim. [pan up to the sky as the sun changes from mid-day to early evening, pan back down] And that's all I have to say about that.
Zim[pondering] Ehh… okay. [goes back inside his house for a few seconds, and reappears with a suitcase and Gir] I can't argue with that, Dib. You've won. I'm giving myself up to the Earth authorities. [to Gir] It's been nice working with you, Gir. Now, self-destruct.
Finally! [laughs, emits out a high-pitched noise, and explodes]
[A police car pulls up in front of Zim's house, and Zim gets in and drives away]
This feeling, the power! It isn't going away! Things really are going to be different for me! At last! [makes a fighting pose] YAH!
[Membrane house; Professor Membrane and Gaz watch Dib being interviewed on live TV]
You've opened the world's eyes to the existence of aliens, Dib! Now what?
There are many other mysteries still unsolved. I figured, you know… I'll do some of that. [smiles at the camera while the flashes of cameras and microphones surround him]
ZimDIB!
[enters the room, with Claire Danes holding his arms] It's been years, Zim.
ZimTwenty of your years to be precise, enduring these indignities. The only reason I have not tried to escape is because it amuses me.
Amuses you to what?
ZimAh, yes! The invasion!
I didn't ask you about the invasion.
ZimOh, you didn't? Well, you were supposed to. Well, they'll be here! The armada will come and there's nothing you can do about it!
We'll see, Zim. We'll see.
ZimThat's it! Time!
What you say?
ZimIf I can bring the time field around the explosion back up to regular speed, it'll fix everything!
No it won't...
ZimThe explosion will blow up like normal and be gone forever!
But won't it just explode? Just like this! KABLAM!
ZimDo not interrupt my being ingenious!
ZimThere! I've accelerated Dib's time field to cancel out the field around the explosion. Computer! What's the angle of trajectory?
36 mark 2. But seriously, if you just speed up the explosion-
ZimI don't pay you to contradict me!
You don't... pay me at all...
[being used as a catapult for an accelerator to speed up the explosion] But if the big 'splodey goes fast, won't it get all bad?
GIR, reporting for duty.
Zim"GIR"? What does the G stand for?
[confused] I don't know! [pauses, then begins screaming and hitting himself]
ZimUmmm, is it supposed to be stupid?
It's not stupid; [sarcastically] it's advanced!
