(The camera shows the SKOOL, which is being filled with children slowly. A bell rings, and we cut to Zim's classroom. everyone is there, creating chaos at their desks. Everyone but Zim and Dib. The door slams open, and Zim enters the classroom, triumphant. The camera turns slightly towards Zim as everyone stares at him for a moment, before going back to what they were doing.)
Zim: It is I! the almighty ZIM! Here to destroy you pathetic human worm babies!
Ms. Bitters: You're late, Zim. Take your seat and remember to stay there after school.
Zim: SILENCE! Nobody commands the almighty ZIM!
(Ms. Bitters slithers out of her chair and towards Zim, crouching over him like a rattlesnake, teeth bared and venom in her eyes)
Ms. Bitters: Sit. DOWN!
Zim: (slightly scared) As you wish, scary Earth teacher.
(Zim crawls over to his seat and sits down, before glancing to his left and noticing something. The camera shows a sharp, slightly crooked shot of Dib's seat from Zim's point of view, a chair that is empty. A spider crawls across a web on the chair and grotesquely eats a fly. Dramatic music plays in the background)
Zim: Hey! Where is the Dib-stink! Zim Demands to know!
Ms. Bitters: He's absent. Now sit down and keep your trap shut until the school day ends.
(Zim's eyes show an expression of annoyance and anger as he puts his elbow on the desk and his fist in his cheek. Ms. Bitters slithers over to the chalkboard and starts writing something down, and begins to speak.)
Ms. Bitters: Alright, class, today we're going to learn about tectonic plates... and how they're going to CRASH INTO one another and eventually obliterate us all.
