The Sum of All Numbers
Opening Credits Roll
The episode opens with Dib sitting in a chair in a kind of waiting room type place. A door next to the chair Dib is in has the Order of the Swollen Eye Insignia on it. An intercom goes on
Intercom: In a mysterious voice Come in Agent Mothman.
Dib gets up, looks slightly nervous, then goes through the door. The room is completely white, with a black shiny desk, and one of those nifty bubble swivel chairs where you can't actually SEE any of the person in it. The chair is facing a large screen
Mysterious Voice: Please, present your findings.
Dib inserts a tiny disc he had in his pocket into the machine. A large diagram of Zim appears on the screen. Dib looks hopefully at the swivel chair
Mysterious Voice: This is excellent Agent Mothman! We can use this to prove the existence of aliens! Just let me have the boys down in Presentation Prep. Get the corners smoothed out, and then we'll march on Washington! Now, Dib, concerning your reward . . .
A large important-looking rope lowers from the ceiling. The mysterious figure gives the cord a tug. A cactus rises through a trapdoor that magically opens right next to Dib
Dib: A cactus?!?!
Mysterious Voice: Not just any cactus. This is a PUNCHING cactus! It is the only remaining specimen of its type. And we would like you to have it Agent Mothman.
Dib: Why thank y-OW!!! Cactus punches him It punched me!
Mysterious Voice: But of course! What kind of punching cactus would it be if it didn't punch?
Dib: In between being punched But - isn't - it a - little - dangerous?
Mysterious Voice: Sharp change in tone Come on Dib . . . I'm getting tired of punching you . . .
Dib: HUH?
Mysterious Voice: Slowly sounding more annoyed COME ON DIB! As much as I'd like to stand here punching you, I DO have stuff to do . . .
Dib: Still being punched WHAT'S GOING ON???
Mysterious Voice: That's it! I didn't think I'd have to resort to this . . .
Cactus falls over on Dib. He yells out in pain
Mysterious Voice: Whiner . . .
Dib wakes up from his bizarre and disturbing dream to find Gaz sitting on him punching him continuously. He's wearing teddy bear pajamas. ^^
Gaz: Finally . . .
She hops off his bed and walks out. Dib sits up
Dib: All a dream? Darn it! I have to figure out a way to pin Zim! He's been here months and I still haven't figured out how to prove he's an alien! I have to act! Brainstorming I've got it! I'll hack into his computer from my laptop and see if I can get proof from HIS database! Dib, you ARE a genius! Grabs his laptop and starts typing furiously What? I got an e- mail? Who would send me a message this early in the morning?
Screen shows the message. It reads "Hello Dib. It would prove most amusing if you tried to stop this insidious plot of destruction, so I'll let you try and solve it. I have placed 5 Super-Explody Death Charges in strategic points around the city. In this little game I've devised, I will give you the first riddle, which will then lead to other riddles. Solve them all, you save the city. Fail, and there will be a giant crater as proof of my incredible power! Then it will be just a matter of time before I conquer this crummy little planet! But that will be all in due time. Here is your little puzzle.
I am thinking of a number, with a one, three, and five It will spread my message to the world, before you can spell live!
Dib: Leaping up in a heroic pose I must stop him! I must save the city! I must . . . Glancing down at himself change out of my teddy bear pajamas . . .
Shortly after Dib is standing on a porch with a printout of the first clue
Dib: Scanning down the riddle Hmm . . . A-HA! This is simple! I'm looking for a street or building number 135! Pulling out laptop I should be able to locate the right street or building via the net . . . BINGO! Building 135 at the corner of 135 Street and 135 Avenue! That's pretty . . . dumb. Oh well. At least I'm saving the city from obliteration! Onward!
Fade in on Dib at the corner of a busy intersection with street signs reading 135 St. and 135 Ave. Before him is a giant building with 135 on it in large friendly letters. He looks around. All that's there is a newspaper- vending device that looks very sophisticated and reads 'Weekly World DOOM!' Plus there's a large group of people walking around and a bum with a dog puppet pretending to talk into a microphone with his other hand saying, "Oh yeah yeah yeah . . . PRAISE THE LORD."
Dib: I suppose the bomb's probably in the building somewhere . . . Looks over the building But that thing must have a hundred floors . . .
Strange and Mysterious Voice: Coming from behind Dib 135 floors to be exact. And not a bomb on any one of them.
Dib: Whirling around Who are you?
Standing before him now is a guy that looks a lot like the host from "Mysterious Mysteries," only with grayish white hair instead of a beard, and a really wrinkly face. Also, you can actually SEE through his glasses. His eyes are very gaunt. He's wearing a black trench coat and a hat that reads, "I'm important. Ignore me or suffer the consequences." He looks remarkably like Morgan Freeman
Mysterious Morgan Freeman Look-Alike: I'm Toby Williamson. I work for the CIA. I take it you are Dib?
Dib: How do you know who I am?
Toby: I know everything boy. It's my job to know everything. And I watch your father's show. He says you're quite insane.
Dib: That's just like dad. Oh shoot! He'll be wondering where I am!
Toby: Here. Borrow my Top-Secret Government Issue Video Registering Cell Phone. Hands him a high tech looking version of one of those little picture slide readers that you hold up to your face, stick a circular cardboard disc with slides along the edge, and pull a lever to switch. A digital voice emits from it
Cell Phone: Name of target please.
Dib: Umm . . . Professor Membrane.
Cell Phone: Connecting to digital assassination network. Please wait. Elevator music starts playing
Toby: BLAST! Grabs phone Input code 12539. Cancel Assassination. Contact Professor Membrane.
Cell Phone: Assassination Cancelled. Contacting Professor Membrane. Please wait. Elevator music starts again. Toby hands Dib the device, which he attaches to his face. View switches to Dib's view. "Please wait" is displayed on the screen with a dancing ferret. Professor Membrane appears on the screen
Membrane: Son! Where are you?
Dib: Umm . . . I can't tell you . . .
Toby: You know what Dib, tell him everything.
Dib: I'm working with CIA Agent Toby Williamson to defuse 5 bombs strategically placed in the vicinity of the city that were put there by Zim, an evil alien bent on conquering Earth.
Membrane: My poor insane son. Well, dinner's at 6. I'm making waffles.
Transmission ends
Dib: Hello? Hello? Takes off visor-phone thingy He hung up on me! Noticing Toby chuckling That's not funny!
Toby: Calming down No, no it's not. It's HILARIOUS! Bursts into laughter
Dib: Gasping I completely forgot about the bomb!
Toby: What bomb?
Dib: The bomb we came here to defuse!
Toby: Ohh. That's right.
Dib: Where can it be if it's not in the building?
Toby: Well that's obvious.
Dib: It is?
Toby: Yes. Long Pause
Dib: WELL???
Toby: Well what?
Dib: WELL WHERE'S THE BOMB?
Toby: It's in the newspaper-vending device.
Dib: Huh???
Toby: Oh come on Dib. Read the last line of the riddle. 'Spread my message to the world?' It can't get much clearer than that.
Dib: Well, that solves that. But where IN the newspaper-vending device?
Toby: That shouldn't be hard to figure out! Pulling out a pistol
Dib: leaping at Toby You idiot! You might hit the bomb!
Dib lunges at him in slow motion. Toby lifts the gun to fire, but Dib hits him, knocking his aim slightly. Toby hits the corner of the machine, causing the entire front to fall off and land on the spooky Chihuahua from other episodes
Toby: Lowering gun See? That wasn't so hard.
A large orb is sitting in the machine with a digital clock counting down from 10 seconds
Dib: Why is it going down? Realization hits Everybody hit the dirt!!!
