And what about his horrible green head?!?
ZimInsolent fool boy! It's a... skin condition.
And he's got no ears! Is that part of your "skin condition," Zim? No ears?!?
Zim[looking sad] Yes.
ZimSorry, I'm late, my tallest. I couldn't find my invitation. You're lucky I made it at all.
You weren't invited at all.
Weren't you banished to FoodCourtia? Shouldn't you be... frying something?
ZimOh, I quit when I found out about this.
You quit being banished!?!?!?
The assigning is over, Zim.
ZimBut you can't have an invasion without me! I was in Operation Impending Doom 1! Don't you remember?
Oh yes. We remember…
[flashback]
Zim[in giant robot destroying a city] AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
But sir, we're still on our own planet!
ZimSilence! Twist those knobs! Twist those knobs! You! Pull some levers! Pull some levers! [resumes his maniacal laughter as his rampage continues]
[end of flashback]
ZimI put the fires out.
You made them worse!
ZimWorse… or better?
Don't forget that tonight is Parent Teacher Night. Everyone is required to bring their parents to the cafeteria.
ZimI never agreed to attend this Parent Teacher Night!
Yes, you did.
ZimNo! You lie! [makes wild scratching motions with his arms] YOU LIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
[Ms. Bitters puts a disc into a computer. The chalkboard slides down revealing a screen showing Zim]
[on video] Zim, are you going to bring your parents to Parent Teacher Night?
Zim[on video, not paying attention] Yeah, sure, whatever.
[Zim looks up at a ceiling-mounted video camera]
ZimWhy would you tape that?
See you and your parents tonight, Zim.
ZimYes... Oh, I will bring my "parents", and they shall be the greatest, most parental parents EVER!
Do we have to go right now? I wanna watch The Scary Monkey Show.
Zim[darkly] That monkey...
ZimWhere is our house?
Um... There... No, no, wait... It's over there...
ZimHow could you not know?! I just upgraded your guidance system!
Oh. I left that at home.
ZimYou left what at home?
The guidy chippy thingy.
ZimYou! Why would you do that?!?
To make room for the cupcake!
ZimBe alert GIR. On this planet, we are surrounded by danger and MADNESS!
Ooh, I like madness!
ZimBy using these pieces of scrap metal, I shall fashion a compass, using this planet's own magnetic field against it. Now! Witness the power of my compass!
[The compass magnetically attaches itself to GIR's chest]
Awww, it likes me!
GIR : [Reads logo off bus] What...about...the bus?
Are we gonna ride the sun home?
ZimNo, GIR, the earth sun sets in the west. Staring at it should give me our relative position. Now watch me amaze you. [Stares at the sun until his eyes burn and crust over] Wait a minute... I'M BLIND!!!! [runs around screaming, with GIR giggling and chasing him] They've booby-trapped their sun somehow!!
Zim[walking up to his RoboParents with the Slunchy family; to Billy] So, what's going on?
[disgruntled with his mother] My mom won't shut up about me! It's really embarrassing.
At least she's not showing the pictures.
Ooh, and you just gotta see these pictures. [pulls a bunch of pictures from her wallet] Now here's Billy crying when he was kicked off the soccer team for crying too much. [giggles, making Billy cry]
Grass stains sure are tough to get out of those soccer uniforms.
Sports aren't everything. I'm sure your boy will find... something he's good at.
That's true. Hey! [turns around and holds out a plate of cookies Mrs. Slunchy made] Try one of these cookies! My wife made them!
Thanks, Ted! (Don't mind if I do.) [takes a cookie and eats it, but he then clutches his stomach in pain]
Oh, no. Honey, is it…
Yup! Diarrhea…!
I have just the thing for that! [splashes a cup of punch into RoboDad's face, and he wheels backwards into a wall; turns to Mrs. Slunchy] Who does your hair? [starts poking her in the face so hard, leaving marks]
[Mrs. Slunchy starts screaming and the crowd watches as Zim looks shocked]
ZimMom, I think we should go home now!
[stops poking Mrs. Slunchy and turns to him] Don't tell me what to do, young man. You go to your room! [picks Zim up and drops him in a bowl of punch, then wheels away]
[Zim hops out of the bowl in annoyance, then Dib splashes a cup of punch on him, and hides it behind his back, acting innocently as Gaz snickers]
ZimI'm looking for a friend. Would you be-
I was born with webbed fish toes. Like some kind of...horrible fish boy. Wanna see?
[The phone rings, Zim answers it]
ZimHello?
Hey ya buddy!
ZimKeef? I told you, I do not require your-
I understand, Zim. I was just thinking that maybe we could-
[Phone beeps]
ZimHang on, I've got another call. [pushes button on the phone] Hello?
Hey ya buddy! You're gonna love the circus!
[Zim stares at the phone and rips it out of the wall]
ZimWhat are you doing, GIR?
Nothing...
ZimNothing... or something?
Oh, I can't take it, you're too smart for me. Keef is planning a s'prise party for you after skool. He gonna bring all the kids because he loves you! [crying] That boy loves you so much! [stops crying] I'm makin' the cake!
ZimHe's bringing all the children to our secret lair? Do you realize what this means?
Yes! Wait a minute...no.
ZimIt means the mission is in jeopardy!
Aw man! [hums happily]
ZimI'm not in your TV. I'm transmitting from...inside your body! Spooky, yes? At this very moment I'm inside a microscopic submersible somewhere in your disgusting belly attached to your arm control nerve!
Arm control nerve?
ZimYes. Arm control nerve.
In my...belly?
ZimYes.
Humans don't have arm control nerves!
ZimDo not question me! I control your arms!!
ZimHahahahahaha..ARG! Idiotic human! I'll just go to your brain and delete the knowlege of where you hid the master disk! And, as an added bonus, I might as well make your entire brain...nn-not smart...no more.
AAAHHHAAOOH!
