Scene 5: [Deep space once again. This time a large silver planet is in the
center screen. The words "Planet Democracia" are typed across the bottom
left corner, linger for a few seconds, then fade. Cut to a helicopter shot
of the main city, zooming in on the largest building in the city. Cut to
the inside of this building. We see a room bigger than three football
fields, filled with rows of boxes or pods, each holding representatives
from different planets across the universe. The name of each planet is
engraved in a plaque on the front of the pod. In the center is a large pod,
filled with a dozen or so different aliens, each looking very stiff and
diplomatic. In the center is a Jehnan dignitary, the Supreme Governor
Jhonen Zequsav (who looks a lot like Jhonen Vasquez only with pale orange
skin and a more space-age-ish outfit).]
Jhonen: [standing up] If I could have the attention of the representatives, please… [The crowd ignores him, all engaged in side conversations] Your attention please… [A paper airplane flies past his head] Please… [Pulls out a giant megaphone] …SHUT UP!!!! [Camera pans the silent, shocked crowd, then back to Jhonen] Thank you. I welcome you all to the 1,000,000th session of the Universal Congress. Today's session will open with an appeal for aid by the Irken Empire. Delegates of the Planet Irk, come forward.
[The lights dim. The crowd looks around, confused. Then the laser/smoke machine show begins. Jhonen puts a hand on his forehead. A pod floats to the center of the room, carrying the Tallest.]
Purple: [leaning in to Red] Are you sure we're not overdoing it?
Red: Nah… [Turns to address the crowd] Honorable Representatives of the Galaxies, we hope you've enjoyed the light show and I promise there's more where that came from-
Jhonen: [cuts him off] Red, just get to the point.
Red: Heh heh…right.
Purple: [steps in front of Red] We come to you under very dire circumstances-
Sam & Sarah: [Pop up in their own pod, waving banners, both wearing shirts with Zim on them] Yeah!! We love you, Purple!!
Red: [gives Purple a funny look] Friends of yours?? [Purple shakes his head]
Jhonen: Get those two out of here! Security!! [Two bulky security droids show up and drag Sam & Sarah off, kicking and flailing. Jhonen sighs, as if this happened everyday.] Could we continue, please??
Red: Of course. The Zhengian Military has threatened to launch a full-scale invasion on our home planet-
Purple: Well, actually, they've already started.
Red: Right. And our own army is barely holding them off. So…
Purple: You think we could get some back up?? [One of the aliens at the center pod stands up]
Alien #1: Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing?? The Irkens are asking us for help, when they've tried to conquer each of the planets here at least once at some point in history?? [She waves towards the crowd, who are all looking really angry]
Red & Purple: Aww, c'mon! You guys aren't still mad about that are you?? [The crowd continues to glare at them]
Purple: [quietly] I'll take that as a big 'yes'. Let's get out of here.
Red: [nods] Good idea. [They both zip off screen, leaving clouds of dust behind]
Jhonen: [turns to Alien #1] Good work. I didn't think we'd ever get rid of 'em.
Alien #1: Thank you, Gov'ner.
[Cut to outside the building, the Tallest are walking away]
Red: Well, that was mortifying!
Purple: What're we gonna do now?
Red: We're on our own. And desperate times call for desperate measures. C'mon. We've got some work to do.
Purple: [as the scene fades out] I was afraid you'd say that…
Jhonen: [standing up] If I could have the attention of the representatives, please… [The crowd ignores him, all engaged in side conversations] Your attention please… [A paper airplane flies past his head] Please… [Pulls out a giant megaphone] …SHUT UP!!!!
