Scene 7: [The sun is setting over Dib's house. Cut to the living room. Dib
is loading his backpack with supplies. Gaz is playing her GS2 on the
couch.]
Gaz: Where do you think you're going?
Dib: I was spying on Zim today and he's going back to his home planet!! I'm not missing my chance to finally prove my theories! [He stuffs a high-tech camera into the backpack.]
Gaz: Sure…whatever you say…send me a postcard, will ya?
Dib: [stands up, frowning] Aren't you the least bit interested??
Gaz: No…
Dib: [grabs her arm] C'mon! You're coming with me! [Drags her out the door]
Gaz: [as he pulls her down the street] I will destroy you.
[Cut to Zim's House. The roof is open and the Cruiser is exposed. Zim and G.I.R. are loading supplies into it.]
Zim: That should just about do it, G.I.R. Have we forgotten anything?
G.I.R.: My tacos! My tacos! I need my TACOS!!! [He runs back into the house down a staircase that is sticking up out of the floor.]
Zim: [following G.I.R. down the stairs in the house] G.I.R.! Leave them! We have more important things to worry about! [As Zim disappears into the house, Dib climbs up onto the launch bay, Gaz in tow.]
Dib: Wow! Would you look at this, Gaz! It's incredible, isn't it?
Gaz: Whatever. [They both stand looking into the cargo bay of the Cruiser, and then the top of the bay closes on them, knocking them into the small storage area.]
Zim: [Emerging from the staircase.] Hurry G.I.R.! We've got to leave as soon as possible! [G.I.R. comes up the stairs, arms full of tacos. They climb into the cockpit and the window closes over them.] Now…engage Launch Sequence! [Zim presses a big green button and the flares ignite under the ship. It lifts off quickly and shoots into hyperspace as soon as it's cleared the atmosphere.]
[Cut to cargo bay. Dib and Gaz are cramped in the tiny space and are getting bumped around.]
Gaz: Ok, now I'm definitely going to destroy you.
Dib: Uh-huh. Whatever. [He sighs, then looks up] Can you believe this? We're about to witness things most paranormal investigators only dream about!
Gaz: Yeah sure. I'm getting out of this trunk. Where's the door to the cockpit? [She crawls off to look for it]
Dib: Gaz! You can't let Zim know we're here! [He crawls after her] He could jettison us off into space in a second! [He reaches her just as she finds the door. It opens and they tumble into the cockpit]
Zim: Ahhh!!! Intruders!! What do you think you're doing here?? Dib! You troublesome human! Can't you ever keep your smelly nose out of my business??
Dib: [stands up] No way, Zim! I'm gonna follow you to the ends of the universe!
G.I.R.: [noticing Gaz] Hi!
Gaz: Would you stop staring at me? [G.I.R. grins] I mean it. Knock it off. [G.I.R. continues to grin at her. She grabs his neck.] Do I make myself clear?? [G.I.R. nods, now scared, and she drops him.]
Zim: [growls] There's no time to turn back now. I guess I'm stuck with you until this is over. Curses.
Dib: Yes! [Starts looking around] This is amazing! [Pulls out his camera]
Zim: [Leans in close to Dib, menacingly] What do you think you're doing with that? [Dib drops the camera]
Gaz: [looking out the window at the planets and stars whizzing by] So…how fast are we going?
Zim: Oh, I'd say at least 200 light-years per hour. Normally it would take 6 months to reach my home planet from Earth, but in hyper-drive it should only take a few hours.
Dib: Wow…this is incredible…
Zim: You do realize that once we reach Irk it will only be a matter of time until you are locked away in the palace dungeons. If I were you, I wouldn't be in any rush to get there. [He grins evilly]
Dib: We'll see about that. You planet's under attack, isn't it? I'll bet there'll be so much chaos no one'll even notice us.
Gaz: [Resuming her GS2 playing, G.I.R. watching over her shoulder.] Would you both shut up?
[Cut to exterior view of the Cruiser as it speeds away.]
Gaz: Where do you think you're going?
Dib: I was spying on Zim today and he's going back to his home planet!! I'm not missing my chance to finally prove my theories! [He stuffs a high-tech camera into the backpack.]
