GIR! Come to the observatory!
Yes?
What have you done to the telescope?
Nothin'.
You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?
I know...I'm scared too...

GIR! Come to the observatory!
Yes?
What have you done to the telescope?
Nothin'.
You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?
I know...I'm scared too...
Look at that, binary system. That's a pair of stars orbiting around each other. You ever been to a binary system?
No.
Would it kill you to say something?
Quiet or I'll eat your head. Is that enough words for you?
What do you think you're doing?
Well, you see that planet back there?
[Zim looks at the Earth, which is being towed behind them]
Yes.
We're going to throw it into our sun. Why? You got a problem with that?
That one's gonna burn real good. Lots of critters. Critters burn good.
The Earth is safe! I did it, GIR! Now let's go destroy it!
Yay!
Tell me a story about giant pigs!
I laugh at your pitiful attempt at spying! Here I go. [laughs]
Go on! Laugh! But one day, you'll be sitting in your house feeling all safe and secure, and then you'll look over and I'll be there, doin' stuff!
Stuff?!? In my home?!? Never! You'd have to find some kind of flaw in my security net! Since that could never possibly happen, you'll have to do your "stuff" elsewhere! [pauses] You haven't discovered some kind of a flaw, have you?
Let's just say your home defenses could use some tightening...
Nothing breaches my defenses, nothing! You hear me, squirrel-boy? Nothing! [A Bloaty's Pizza delivery guy comes to the door and GIR answers] Hey! Hey!
Here's the pizza you ordered!
Thank you.... [starts crying] I-I love you!
GIR! We fend humans away from our home, not invite them over!
[leaves] I had a coupon!
Why was there BACON IN THE SOAP?!
[screaming] I made it myself!!!
You can't make me look! I'll just shut my eyes!
[Dib closes his eyes]
Oh, you'll open them. You have to breathe sometime.
No, I– wait, what do my eyes have to do with breathing?
[Dib opens his eyes and gets hypnotized]
[hypnotized] I will tell Pustulio everything...[snaps out of it] Nyahh! No! Must... keep... control! [gets hypnotized again] Pustulio is my friend... [snaps out of it again] It's a pimple! Nothing more than a-! Nyahh! I... I... [gets hypnotized yet again] I... love Pustulio...
And Pustulio loves you, too. Release him, Smacky. He is part of the collective now.
[Smacky lets go of Dib]
Now. Tell me... tell me the flaw in my house's defenses.
[struggles internally] But... I can't... must infiltrate!
It would make Pustulio happy to know this thing. Don't you WANT-[pushes Pustulio around to increase hypnotic power]-to make Pustulio happy?
Yes... no!
[raises eyebrow] If you tell me, I'll let you hold Pustulio's little hand. [holds up one of Pustulio's hands for Dib to see]
[talking against will] The weakness... is simple... a blind spot... [cringes] in your gnome field. Nothing to stop me from simply tunneling under house... [cringes again] and attach a spy monitoring system.
[a pause, then Zim begins laughing maniacally]
Success!
Come my filthy stink children. You shall reveal your secrets to Pustulio in the privacy of the classroom.
Bye Dib! Thanks for the information! I got a few more lawn gnomes to plant.
[A shadow form appears behind Dib,somehow transforms into Ms.Bitters]
Dib, you will not leave school grounds until all this mess is cleaned up. [Ms. Bitters hands Dib a tiny sponge]
[Dib spots a bigger sponge floating in the goo from Zim's pimple, Dib points at it]
Can't I use that sponge?
No.
