[Dib] I used to look up at space
with hope and wonder in my eyes.
Until space looked back.
Invader Zim,
evil, alien soldier 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,
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 whirring]
-[crowd shouting] -And then...
he vanished.
My name is Dib Membrane.
I'm 12 years old.
And I'm all that stands between Zim
and the annihilation of our world.
[Professor Membrane reading]
Prepare your starving, gurgling child-bellies
for the awesome eventuality
of dinner!
[groaning]
[oven dings]
Foodio 3000 hopes you love what I have made.
Also, what is love?
Looks great, Dad. I'm gonna eat that food.
[Professor Membrane] Hold up now, daughter!
Isn't it time your brother joined us?
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.
[Professor 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.
Don't even joke about that, Dad.
[Foodio 3000 humming]
[Professor Membrane] Honey, letting go of silly ideas
is just part of growing up.
Why, as a child,
I thought sharks were my friends.
[in ominous voice] I know better now.
[robotic arm whirs]
[in normal voice] So, try to be more supportive.
He's your brother, after all.
Okay, Dad.
[grumbles]
[floorboards creaking]
[suit chirping]
Hey, Dib! Dad says come to dinner!
[grunts]
[wind whooshing]
[Dib] You know I can't leave my post, Gaz.
Just shove the food in here.
Where's the shoving stick?
I can't shove without the shoving stick.
[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?
[whispering] 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. [chuckles]
Even Dad, world-famous man of science will say,
[in strange accent] "I believe you, Dib.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you."
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.
[Dib screeches] It's Zim!
He's back! And he's doing stretches!
Nobody stretches like that unless they're warming up for evil!
This is it! The... [grunts]
moment I've been... [grunts and crashes]
waiting for!
[Gaz] What are you doing?
[groans] Gotta get to Zim!
Dib, no. Look at you.
The world's not ready to see what you've become.
You're hideous!
The smell!
[Dib] The world... [grunts]
needs me!
-Take a bath first! -[suit alarm blaring]
Take... [gags]
Take a bath!
No!
[thunder crackles]
[chair creaking]
Zim!
Yes, it is I, and-- Hmm?
-Oh, wait, sorry. -[flies buzzing]
You'll have to move along, hideous goblin.
I'm posing dramatically for when the Dib shows up.
-I am Dib. -What?
-Ugh, ugh, ugh! Ugh! -But--
-Give me a sec here. -[stammers] We know each other.
[clears throat]
-[thunder claps] -I've been expecting you, Dib!
I can tell.
You set up sprinklers and everything.
[thunder crackling on radio]
-[gurgles] -You can't prove anything!
-Anyhow, I-- -Where have you been, Zim?
I've been monitoring your house, the school,
that taco place you love so much.
No, no. GIR loves that place.
I think it's dirty.
-[GIR] I ate a baby there. -He did.
What have you been up to, Zim?
Phase one of my evil plan, human.
Phase one.
[laughs maniacally]
[GIR giggles]
Computer! Laugh with me!
[Computer] I don't want to.
[chuckling softly]
-[sighs] -[device beeps]
You've been in your house
sitting in the toilet all this time?
-Yes. -Like, the whole time?
That's right.
Did you have to sit in the toilet?
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.
-A what in your huh? -Uh-huh!
And while the rest of your kind were easily fooled,
you were able to see through
my brilliant disguise.
[stammers] Martha!
-[screeches] Eh? -The neighbor boy's an alien!
[stammers] Never mind, Martha.
-He's normal. -Okay.
I knew if I vanished for long enough,
you'd just watch and wait,
your neglected body growing smelly
-and useless. -[Dib whimpering]
But that was only Phase One of my evil plan.
Well, keep watching, Dookie-Dib.
Watch helplessly as I begin...
Phase Two!
[chainsaw whirring]
-Hah! -No!
I'm switching people's mail around.
That's illegal. No!
I'm reading someone's newspaper.
I don't pay for a subscription. [laughs]
Nobody reads newspapers anymore, but, no, stop!
Minimoose, get in on this mayhem!
[Minimoose squeaks]
That's my mom's pizza sticker.
She is crazy for pizza.
Hey, what... what are you... Hey, that... that's...
Hey, don't... Wait.
Don't! Don't!
Don't!
[panicked stammering]
[squeaks]
Excellent.
Me! Me! Let me do one.
I launched that pug into space.
-I thought you liked that pig. -[car alarm goes off]
-Why I do that? -What's the matter, human?
Why aren't you stopping me?
Can't fight back.
Sat too long.
Chair fused to butt.
More chair than man now.
Humans are such fragile, goopy things.
No Irken would ever become a chair.
Wait! Was that Phase Two?
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!
[both] Welcome home, son.
[grunts]
Zim!
-[lasers firing] -[muffled yells]
[explosion]
Excellent work, me.
All is going according to plan, but there's still much to do, GIR.
Yes, sir! [shouts]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[giggling]
[shouts] I bloop you, Schmoopsy!
[chuckles warmly] Floopsy...
[TV audience] Aww.
Computer?
[Computer groans] What?
Open a connection with the Almighty Tallest,
my leaders and biggest fans.
[Computer] Preparing to call The Tallest.
You see, GIR, The Tallest--
[Computer] Now calling The Tallest!
[groans loudly]
The Tallest haven't heard from me,
their greatest and most incredible invader,
in a very long time.
-They'll be sick with worry. -[GIR squeaks]
[muzak playing]
Hey, remember Invader Zim?
-Who? -Zim.
Tiny?
Screamed a lot?
The guy that sends us the donuts?
No, that's Invader Jim. He's great.
Oh, wait. Zim.
-We hate him! -Yeah, that's him. [chuckles]
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?
[laughs] Yeah. We're hilarious.
[comms officer] My Tallest, there's an incoming transmission.
Yep, life's been pretty great
ever since Zim vanished for good.
Anyhow, send that transmission through.
I wonder who it could ever be.
It is I, Zim!
[screaming]
[munching]
[whimpers]
My Tallest, you will be overjoyed to know
Phase One of my most ingenious plan
to prepare Earth for your arrival was a success.
Zim, we thought you were dead.
Could a dead Zim do this?
[floor creaking]
[Minimoose and GIR chattering]
[clears throat] 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... [grunting]
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.
We don't care, Zim.
[grunts] Why didn't I write it down?
Wait! Computer,
play back any recordings of me discussing Phase Two.
[Computer] One recording found.
Would you like me to record any and all mention of Phase Two?
No, thank you. Zim forgets nothing.
Hmm, besides reminding me how cool I look and sound,
that was of no help.
He knows we can still see and hear him, right?
I liked when he was dead.
[shouts excitedly] I remember Phase Two!
You do? Good work, GIR! Tell me.
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.
This isn't the time for the giant pizza story, GIR.
And that will never happen!
[wails loudly]
[sobbing]
Silence! I need to think!
Just calm down and...
Computer, did you put The Tallest on hold?
-[Computer] Nope. -[screams]
[static blares]
-Hmm? -Huh?
I don't think they heard anything.
Yes, they did.
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?
[crowd jeering]
[Almighty Tallest Red] Invader Zim,
you were once our best, most amazing Invader,
but now, you're dumb.
Also, stupid.
As punishment, you will be stripped of your Invader rank,
re-encoded as nothing.
But you can't! I am Zim!
[Almighty Tallest Red] Control Brains, re-encode.
[electricity crackling]
[Control Brains] Re-encoding.
It is done, My Tallest.
Zim, you will live out
the rest of your long, sad days as--
[Zim yells]
-[crowd cheers] -Wait, no, never mind.
[whimpers]
GIR, time is of the essence.
-The Tallest could be here any day now... -[gasps]
...and Dib won't stay a chair forever.
Go to my scheming lab,
and bring me everything that could be Phase Two.
-Quickly! -[squeals]
[potato dings]
[inaudible shouting]
[intense rock music playing]
[playful music]
[robotic meowing]
[firecrackers popping]

Ahh.
[Zim grunts]
Useless dookie!
[grumbles]
I need more time to remember Phase Two.
Computer, how much longer do I have before The Tallest arrive?
-[grunts] -[Computer] Information unknown.
Unacceptable.
Access The Tallest's computers and retrieve their flight plan.
[Computer imitating British accent] Ooh, yes, right away, sir.
[Zim] Are you doing an accent?
[Computer in normal accent] I get bored.
P.S. There is insufficient power to access the flight plan.
Then find more power, and be sneaky about it.
[metallic whirring]
[Computer] Activating sneaky mode.
Sneaking!
[car alarms blaring]
Sneaking!
-[alarms blaring] -[people screaming]
[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.
-Hurry it up. -Zooming out.
-Vámonos!
I must begin Phase Two
before Dib gets back into annoying fighting shape.
[Computer] Zooming out. Zooming out.
Zooming out.
Hmm, I'm sure it's there,
-somewhere. -Zooming out.
Zooming out. Zooming out.
[grunting]
I was in bad shape, then I got too in shape,
now I'm back to normal shape.
[shouts]
[grunting loudly]
-[cat yowls] -[game beeping]
Oh, man, Dib, not the coat.
It makes me look mysterious.
Now, step aside.
I've got a Zim to stop.
[Professor Membrane humming]
All right, test children.
These bracelets are just prototypes,
so try not to breathe or think while the energy field is--
-[Dib grunts] -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...
Wait a minute.
The alien-hunting briefcase?
Oh, son.
Not this nonsense again.
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.
-[children groaning] -Son, there are no aliens.
I've tried to be patient with your unscientific interests...
-[children shouting] -...bigfeets, ghosts,
vampire-bees...
You saw those sting marks,
and you know I eat a lot of honey now.
Well, as a man of science, I need proof,
and I just haven't seen--
Proof? Proof?
[door clattering]
How do you need more proof than this?
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.
It makes it very difficult to get to the lawnmower.
That's Tak's ship, an alien spaceship
I captured from one of Zim's alien enemies.
Shouldn't spaceships fly?
It will, as soon as it lets me fix it.
-[metal clangs] -[Tak's ship] Dib, your face is stupid.
[Professor Membrane] It's a fine, fake spaceship
you've built there, son, but--
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.
Wishing isn't very scientific, son.
[angry grunting]
[insect buzzes]
[hisses]
[Dib] This ends today, Zim!
I'm ready for everything you got!
[door creaks]
[announcer on TV] Welcome back once again...
-Uh... -...countdown to Peace Day...
Intruder!
Prepare to come on in!
[on TV] 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?
Hey, Zim's evil robot.
-Where's Zim? -Mmm-mmm.
This my special pizza
I make just for Peace Day.
-[retches] -[kids cheering]
It got ten kinds of pizza
inside the pizza,
so that's pretty good.
[kids cheering]
Where's Zim?
[crying] I don't know!
I worry about that boy so much.
You want some nachos?
[squeaks]
Uh, no, thank you.
Hey, keep it down out here.
I'm trying to be miserable in my cheesy cocoon of misery.
What's going on in here?
-What's all this junk? -[metallic clattering]
Yeah, they're all experiments
that I was hoping would be Phase Two of my plan.
[Dib] Is that supposed to be my dad?
Oh, hello, son!
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! -[bowl clatters]
I don't love pudding. What's that smell?
The smell's all me.
What you gonna do about it? [blows raspberry]
I'm gonna lock you up, is what!
[groans] Fine, I don't care.
Wait, really? Why?
[device chirps]
[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?
That your leaders only fly in a straight line?
The Tallest aren't coming!
-So, you really give up? -[whimpering]
I actually finally win?
[groans]
Earth is safe.
[wailing]
I've lost the respect of My Tallest!
Uh...
[wailing]
Come on, man.
[Professor Membrane] There may come a time when we at Membrane Labs
stop making the world more amazing.
You know, my dad doesn't respect what I do, either.
[Professor Membrane] That time is not now.
He thinks I'm crazy like the rest of the world,
the world I just saved without anybody knowing.
[Professor Membrane] Tomorrow, at the Membrane Labs Keynote,
we make history again.
Membrane Labs. Who wants a better everything?
-[pig squeals] -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.
[cheers and applause]
[as Professor Membrane in strange accent] I believe you, Dib.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
[crowd cheering]
-[cheering] -[squealing]
Whoo! Yeah, yeah!
You just might still be good for something, Zim.
What do you say?
[Zim] Fine. I don't care.
[cheers and applause]
[indistinct chatter]
[Professor Membrane] Ladies and gentlemen,
I am so very proud to announce...
the new Peace Day edition
Membracelet!
[cheers and applause]
Dib,
why is Zim here?
Don't worry about it, Gaz.
It's... I'll explain later.
This is Dad's big night.
Don't even think of doing anything dumb, or--
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?
Oh, yeah. Give me a minute.
[groans]
[device whooshes and whirs]
[device chirps]
[Professor Membrane] ...apps such as Peanut Simulator...
[Zim] I updated your bracelet.
-[blob squeaks] -Just hit that button,
and you'll be in control of everything.
Is this update squeaking?
-I guess so. -[blob squeaks]
I can't believe I'm saying it,
but this is your greatest work ever.
Eh.
As you know, tomorrow is Peace Day,
and nobody is as excited for the big celebration as I am.
[man] I am!
[Professor Membrane] Not scientifically possible!
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.
-[all] Ooh. -[Professor Membrane] Tomorrow,
-children will hold hands... -[bracelet chirps]
...encircling the planet in Membracelets
to bring about a peace unlike any
-the world has ever known. -[cheers and applause]
Get ready to see the truth, world,
but specifically, Dad.
[computers chirps]
[machinery powering down]
Huh?
[crowd gasps]
[electricity crackles]
[crowd gasps and chatters]
Oh, no.
Greetings, fellow humans.
Zim? Wait, what?
Where's my dad?
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.
-[woman] Eww! -[man] No!
Wait! Zim's an alien!
-[crowd gasps] -[man] No!
He...
[playful music playing]
[in Zim's pre-recorded voice] He's so cool.
We should all do everything he says,
no matter how evil it sounds.
Hail Zim!
[cheers and applause]
Yes, be joyous, you fools.
Buy my bracelet,
and get ready for the most peaceful Peace Day
your grotesque eyeballs have ever seen!
[crowd gasps]
[balloon deflates]
The bracelet comes in four colors!
[cheers and applause]
[laughs maniacally]
[muffled protests]
[muffled growls]
[screaming] No!
[gasping]
Please say that was just a horrible nightmare.
-[Professor Membrane] Son! -Dad?
Breakfast is ready.
Yes! Yes!
Yes, yes!
Good morning, Da...
Oh, no!
Happy Peace Day, son!
You is grounded forever.
Bweakfast is da most science-y meal of da day.
[singing] ♪ Doop, doop, doop Doop, doop, doop, do ♪
Pudding.
If Foodio 3000 could just perhaps--
No, foody guy! I taking care of it.
[screams]
These my kids and science and stuff.
Gaz, I'm so sorry. Zim tricked me.
I didn't mean for any of this to--
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?
Eh, something the matter, honey?
Nah, it's cool, Dad.
How can you be so calm? That thing isn't Dad.
Yeah, look. [softly] Just go along with--
You're not our dad!
Oh, man, here we go.
[gasps] That's a terrible thing to say, son.
-[wails] -[crashing]
[sobs]
[wails]
Oh, Dib, always kidding.
Of course, he's our dad.
Great breakfast, Dad.
-[wailing] -Is it good pudding?
[softly] It's the worst pudding I've ever had in my life.
Thanks, honey.
It's not easy taking care of two kids on my own...
[grunts] It's so rewarding.
You're a clone.
Our real dad's been kidnapped by Zim.
Son, it not nice to say bad things
about your best friend.
Zim is not my best friend.
-He's wonderful. -No, he's the worst.
-You love Zim? -No!
I hate him! He's the most--
I love Zim.
[whispers] We need to get out of here.
And find Dad, but Clembrane's fast.
-Clembrane? -Clone, membrane.
And yeah, I already tried busting out every possible way.
No luck.
You tried escaping without me?
Let's focus on the now, Dib.
Every move I made, he was there to stop me.
Remember, kids,
I'm here for you if you ever need to talk about stuff...
[pained shouting]
Stay in school. Brush your teeth.
That's good advice, Dad.
-[music plays on TV] -Ooh, it's time for Peace Day now!
[giggles]
[parade music playing]
[announcer] If you're just tuning in to our Peace Day coverage...
[laughing]
...you're watching Zim, the new head of Membrane Labs,

from one of the new mobile M-Labs Stores
deployed all around the world.
[laughs]
Yeah! [laughs]
-Yeah! -[bird squawks]
[crowd shouting excitedly]
[Zim laughing maniacally]
So, this show is just Zim laughing the whole time?
[continues laughing]
[announcer] And that concludes
the laughing portion of the program.
People of Earth, of which I am one,
because I am human and inferior and disgusting
just like you are, Happy Peace Day!
[cheers and applause]
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?
I love it!
It's a lot more alive than I expected, though.
[chuckles] 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!
[laughs maniacally]
[announcer] He really does seem to love his job.
Wait a minute. That place looks familiar.
Is that...

Hi, Dib!

You're gonna have to speak up!
You won't get away with this!
What?
-You won't get a-- -What?
-You won't get awa-- -What?
-You won't get away-- -What?
-You-- -What?
Dib, check out how huge your head looks on TV.
[grunts]
I'm here for you, buddy. Come here.
[mutters]
[Zim] Work harder, children.
-Harder! -[children grunting]
[Zim] Don't you want world peace?
Work harder for Zim.
-[laughs maniacally] -[angry meowing]
[laughing] Hi, Dib.
[growls]
Look at them, GIR.
All this time trying to subjugate the humans,
and all I had to do was charge them for it.
[GIR] Mmm-hmm.
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!
Like this?
[imitating trumpet music]
-Mmm-hmm? -No, GIR.

Relax. It's Zim we're talking about.
Whatever he's got planned, it's not gonna work.
[grunting]
[chuckles wickedly]
[nervous whimpering]
[kids grunting]
No!
[birds chirping]
[chittering]
Ha! Nothing happened, 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 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. -[giggles]
And I owe it all to--
I smell pudding.
...to you!
[grunts]
-[loud whooshing] -[house rumbling]
Eh?
[crowd gasping]
Is that part of your brilliant plan, 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.
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.
There, you see? It's just a shmorpus hole.
Besides, The Tallest'll get here long before there's any trouble.
Zim, that Florpus is gonna destroy the Earth,
you included!
If you're so worried about the Florpus,
just get your dad to help.
I'm over here, everybody.
He's only a shmillion light years away
on Moo-Ping 10, also known as
Space Prison!
[both gasp]
Why don't you hop in your spaceship and go rescue him?
Oh, wait, you don't have a spaceship!
[clears throat] Lawrence!
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got some Tall company on the way.
Zim!
[alert blares]
[comms officer] My Tallest?
Something appears to have appeared in our path.
What is it?
A terrifying, deadly space anomaly.
-Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, interesting. -Mmm, yeah, okay.
As well as the planet Earth.
[shouts angrily]
Earth? That means Zim!
This is the worst news I've ever heard.
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.
[both groaning loudly]
It's been ten years, Gaz.
Ten long years trapped in this house with the pudding monster.
It's been two days, but yeah.
How come you kids don't play with the science puppy
I made for you?
-[Dib] Because it's pudding. -[dog barks]
I hate this as much as you do,
but it's not like anyone can just walk out the front door.
[singing] ♪ Doop, bee, doop, doop Doop, doop, bee, doop ♪
♪ Doop, doop Doop, bee, doop ♪
[gags]
[muffled] ♪ Doop, bee, doop Doop, doop, doop, bee, doop ♪
♪ Doop, doop, doop Bee, doop, doop ♪
[door slams]
Okay, it's not like we can just walk out the front door,
but maybe we can... Hmm.
Hey, Dad.
[grunts]
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.
-[muffled grunting] -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.
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?
Uh, maybe later.
You just keep stirring, uh, Dad.
[wind whooshing]
-[Tak's ship whirs] -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.
[Tak's ship] I don't help anyone but Tak.
See? It's no use.
-You hate Dib, right? -Affirmative.
But you hate Zim even more.
Correct.
I see where you're going with this.
Helping us break our dad out of Moopington would--
Wait, do you mean Moo-Ping 10?
Right.
It would make Zim super unhappy.
[Tak's ship] Flawless logic. I will help you.
[both] Yes!
-[Tak's ship] On one condition. -What's that?
Disconnect my seat sensors
so I don't feel your terrible human butts in me.
Deal.
[whip cracks]
[ship rumbles and whirs]
[pudding sizzles]
[squeaking]
[ship whirs]
We did it, kids. Hurray for science.
Right. Now, about that pudding...
[grunts]
Don't wait up for us, Clembrane!
[ship whooshes]
[both] Yeah!
[space organisms howling]
-[Florpus Hole crackling] -[Tak's ship] Oh.
You guys have a deadly Florpus Hole now.
-That's new. -[Dib] Yeah.
-Let's hurry, ship. -Don't tell me what to do.
But okay.
Now, this is what I like to see, GIR.
Pathetic humans fleeing in terror
at the sight of Zim!
[GIR] Nobody even looking at you.
-[car alarm goes off] -It's a show of respect.
Their stupid eyes can't handle all this.
[screaming]
Anyhow, terrible work on the signs, GIR,
worse than I expected.
Aww, thank you.
Did you build me that throne I asked for?
Mmm-hmm.
[bird chirps]
[GIR humming]
[ground rumbles and whooshes]
[Zim] Excellent.
Now, to ascend this throne,
and claim my rightful place as...
[grunts and yelps]
[groans]
Hah! But where are the flames?
I can't rule the world without cool flames shooting up behind me.
[whirring excitedly]
Hit the flames button!
Hmm? Ah-ha!
[chair whooshes]
[laughs maniacally]
Wait, are those peanuts?
[GIR] Oops.
Try the peanuts button.
[Zim] All right, flames, uh, peanuts,
flames, uh, peanuts?
Oh!
-[flames whoosh] -[laughs maniacally]
Hmm?
[engine turning over]
[continues laughing]
[panicked grunts]
[screams] The peanuts!
[laughing] Oh, whoa, whoa.
The Tallest will be so happy!
[The Tallest moaning] We're so unhappy!
Zim's so close, I can almost smell him.
[comms office] 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.
-[alert blips] -What is that?
-[comms officer] It appears to be a-- -Blow it up!
[cheery tune playing]
[explosion]
[comms office] But, sirs, there's still the life-destroying
space hole to consider.
Man, this guy.
[mockingly] "I fly the spaceship,
and I sure love steering!"
[laughs] Yeah.
[mockingly] "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 singing gibberish]
[upbeat music playing]
-[music stops] -[both] 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?
[Tak's ship] 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. -Whatever.
[guards speaking alien language]
[explosion]
[alarms blaring]
That's our diversion. You ready?
I was born ready, Gaz.
This spy coat isn't just to look cool.
[grunts]
[slurps and gulps]
[speaks in alien language]
[sings gibberish]
-[grunts] -[Dib] Now we'll never find Dad!
[sobs]
Oh, uh,
normally, you crying on the floor is hilarious,
but come on.
It's all my fault, Gaz. [groans]
Why aren't you saying I told you so?
'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!
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!
[Professor Membrane laughs]
-Dad! -[Professor Membrane] Son!
-[aliens] Aww! -[Professor Membrane] I didn't want to
interrupt your lovely, imaginary speech.
Imaginary?
Well, the last thing I remember was something
hitting me on the head
and starting this incredible hallucination.
No, this is all really happening.
Zim used your bracelets to teleport the Earth
to another part of the universe!
Do you know how?
[alien] Uh, he's not gonna know how.
[Professor Membrane] Son, the Membracelet is just for running apps
and world peace, but, oh, theoretically...
-[aliens gasp] -...one could use it to, say,
create a galactic star gate of sorts, yes.
What?
That's crazy, yo.
[aliens gasp]
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. -[aliens chuckling]
But all those things don't exist,
so we didn't worry about it.
Minimoose!
Dad, if you had that purple space moose,
could you use it to teleport the Earth
back where it belongs?
Theoretically, mmm-hmm.
Too bad we're in prison.
[Tak's ship whirs and whooshes]
[Tak's ship] Three human butts is too many,
so I brought this.
Hop in.
[Professor Membrane] This is all so real!
-Not a hallucination. -[Gaz] Shotgun!
[grunts]
[door hisses]
-[aliens cheering] -[alien] See you later!
Only enough room in there for you guys, I guess.
[ship whooshes]
[aliens] Yay!
[Tak's ship] Hang on to your disgusting butts!
What's with you and butts?
[screams]
[laughs maniacally] Okay, okay.
Okay, enough running and screaming.
Let's mix it up a bit.
Maybe bow down before me or something.
-[buildings creaking] -[screams]
[people scream]
Hmm, leaping is good.
[ship whooshes]
[Professor Membrane] Well, that was very convincing.
Because it's real, Dad!
[Professor Membrane] How could anything that horrifying be real?
[Florpus Hole crackling]
-[both scream] -[Professor Membrane laughs]
[chuckles]
Dad, the Earth's minutes away from being destroyed!
Why are you laughing?
[Professor Membrane] Minimoose is a funny name.
[Tak's ship grunts]
[Tak's ship] Normally, I'd say "Don't touch me,"
but maybe a little help?
[screen chirping]
[screams and laughs]
[Dib grunts]
Huh?
-[space organism moans] -[Gaz yelps]
[Professor Membrane laughing]
[Dib and Gaz screaming]
-[alarms blaring] -[Tak's ship] This isn't good.
Gaz!
[Gaz screams]
[structure creaking]
[grunting]
[Professor Membrane] Marvelous!
[sips]
I truly believe I'm falling to a hideous death!
Hang on, Dad!
Don't let go!
[Professor Membrane] Don't worry. None of this is real.
-I'll prove everything to you. -[cat meows]
Just hang on!
You'll be proud of me!
[Professor Membrane] Son, you don't have to prove anything.
I'm always proud of you.
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--
[screams]
-[grunts] -[squeaks]
[growling]
Dib?
You...
Give me the moose.
[screams]
[panting and screaming]
Huh? Huh? Huh?
[screams]
Zim, that moose is the only thing
that can save Earth from your Florpus!
[grunts] Get your own moose, human!
-This one's mine! -[squeaks]
Hah, I think you're cool too, Minimoose.
[both speaking alien language]
[shocked grunt]
[buzzing]
[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?
[all singing in alien language]
[all screaming]
[screaming and chomping]
-Give me the moose. -No!
[Zim] I liked you better when you were a chair!
And I liked you better when you were a toilet!
I was not a toilet!
-[playful music playing] -[robotic meowing]
[Dib grunting] Leprechaun cat, no--
[explosion]
I was hiding in the toilet.
[screams and grunts]
[squeaks]
[robots whirring]
Hmm?
[grunts]
Zim!
No!
[Zim laughs maniacally]
Well, he's dead.
GIR, all this evil is doing a number on my throat.
Fetch me a soothing lozenge!
Huh?
[whooshing]
Dad!
[Professor Membrane] Why are you wearing those shirts?
I never hired any of you!
[robotic arms hiss]
[Professor Membrane] Don't worry, son.
I've got your back.
[grunting]
Spencer! Devon!
-Maria! -[Professor Membrane] Come on!
Lawrence!
No!
[Professor Membrane] Ah-ha!
-[GIR squeals] -[hollers]
[both grunt]
GIR, avenge your robot brothers and Maria.
Yes, my master!
-[roars] -[wind whooshes]
[knife clinks]
[balloon deflates]
You're terrible, GIR!
It's over, Zim.
-[sips] -Oh, it is?
Well, now I'm sad. Wait!
Have you forgotten?
You're grounded!
Uh-oh.
-And you, get away from my son! -[choking]
[Professor Membrane] Uh...
-[babbles] -...what's happening?
-[babbles] -What is this thing?
-He's you, Dad. -[Professor Membrane] What?
Who's me, son? I'm me.
But who's that? Pudding break.
[gobbles]
[Professor 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.
Pudding break over.
[Professor Membrane] Oh, this feels so real!
-We need that moose, Dad! -[crashes in distance]
[laughs] Nothing's uglier than moose jealousy, Dib.
Ooh, what the... Where did--
[Tak's ship grunts]
[Tak's ship] Yours is the worst...
[glitching] butt of them... butt of them all, Zim.
Dib!
Do you still have that ham I gave you?
Of course!
The ham!
[narrator] See? There's that ham again.
Ham!
[grunts weakly]
[Professor Membrane] Great work, honey, but...
[squeaks]
Oops.
Honey, fighting doodn't solve anything.
Also, I found this little moose thing.
Look at it. Isn't it funny?
[squeaks]
I command you to return the moose
and destroy the Membrane family!
But... they my family.
And that guy,
it's like looking into a mirror.
[Professor Membrane] Oh, I don't know about--
[grunts angrily] I should've known you'd fail me!
You couldn't even learn to make pudding the right way.
Hey! You leave Clembrane alone!
Yeah!
[in British accent] It's the best pudding I've ever had
in my life.
Excellent. Now, just...
[grunting]
-No! -[squeals]
[Florpus Hole crackling]
[gasps] It's happening!
Use the moose!
[Professor Membrane] Uh, right. Use the moose.
Um, okay.
Everyone, hold hands again.
[Gaz in normal accent] Yeah! Your lives depend on it!
Okay! Hold my hand.
No way! Be serious!
Now, come on, everyone. Faster!
I did my best.
It's no use, Dib.
You've lost.
The Irken Armada is already here.
Forward cannons now at full power.
[Professor Membrane] Almost have it.
Dad, hurry!
We're entering the Florpus!
[all screaming]
[Zim] Zim has won!
No pressure, Dad,
but... [screams]
[Professor Membrane] Cut me some slack! This is my first moose!
Relax.
[in distorted voice] It's just realities colliding
like my computer said.
[in distorted voice] And tearing Earth apart, you moron!
[planet crackles and explodes]
[all screaming]
[Professor Membrane] Hmm, um...
[Professor Membrane] Um, um, uh, eh. Oh.
[screaming continues]
[Professor Membrane stammering] Uh, there...
[stammers] Oh, no.
[all barking]
[grunts and screams]
[Professor Membrane] I've got it!
[Minimoose beeps]
[all screaming]
My Tallest, the Earth...
It's gone.
That's great news.
-Crisis averted. -Hurray!
Now we don't have to turn.
[comms officer] Sirs, there's still the horrifying space hole
straight ahead.
[Almighty Tallest Purple] Why are you so negative?
[The Tallest] Yay! Whoo-hoo!
-[Almighty Tallest Purple] Yeah-- -[electricity buzzes]
[Professor Membrane] Now, prepare your eating faces
for incalculable nutrition!
[Foodio 3000 hollers and dings]
Good work, Foodio.
Thank you, Gazlene.
I hope you can taste the love simulation I made it with.
-[heavy footsteps approach] -[Clembrane] Just one final ingwedient.
[laughs] Family and pudding and science and wobots and stuff.
-So, does he live here now or what? -[Gaz grunts]
[Professor Membrane] I'm still very confused.
-[laughs] -[chuckles]
[laughing]
Enjoying your losers' meal, eh, Dib?
"Losers"? Your plan failed.
Did it, Dib? Did it?
What if I told you my plan all along
was to steal this whatever-it-is?
Phase Two. It was Phase Two all along.
Is that the ceramic clown puppy from our living room?
Who's laughing now, Dib?
[laughs maniacally]
I am, see? [laughing]
[Professor Membrane] Why didn't you invite
your little green friend in for dinner, son?
Dad, that was Zim,
the alien who almost destroyed the world, remember?
[Professor Membrane] Son, of course I remember.
I remember getting hit on the head
and dreaming up all that crazy stuff.
What?
What's happening? Is everything over?
Yes, GIR, I'm just waiting for The Tallest
to answer this call so I can tell them all about my success.
Did we win? Did we win?
-[inhales] -[screams] Did we win?
Of course. Zim always wins...
[tires screeching]
[keys jangling]
-[door slams] -[whirring]
No thanks to you working with the enemy.
-[Minimoose squeaks] -Heh, good one, Minimoose.
-I can't stay mad at you. -[screen buzzes]
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?
[both screaming]
That sounded like a yes to me.
[explosion]
Yay! I missed you so much!
