Sum of All Numbers FINAL SCENE!!! A/N: THE BIGGEST SCENE KNOWN TO MAN!
Summing Things Up
Scene opens to display Dib and Clark playing what looks like Dance Dance Revolution. But the screen displays a fight scene. They are thoroughly absorbed
Clark: Stomping hard on the directional arrows TAKE THIS LARGE-HEADED BOY! His character kicks Dib's across the screen
Dib: Character recovers. He stomps an intricate combination EAT THE ULTIMATE ATTACK! FLAMING DOOM PUNCH OF ANIMATED PAIN AND ALL THAT IS BAD! Character does whooshy-charge and does super punch. Clark's character blocks with crossed arms
Clark: Everyone knows the FLAMING DOOM PUNCH OF ANIMATED PAIN AND ALL THAT IS BAD attack can be stopped by a full-charged defensive barrier! NOW! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE ATTACK OF DOOM! Clark's character leaps and headbutts Dib's character. Dib's character explodes. The screen flashes "Napoleon Wins!" Clark takes an interesting pose THAT'S THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE!
Dib: Huh?
Clark: Never mind. What were we doing again?
Dib: Sucks on juicebox for a while OH YEAH! We were waiting for the last riddle.
Clark: Ah yes!
There's a pause while Dib sucks on juicebox
Clark: Well?
Dib: Well what?
Clark: DID YOU GET THE RIDDLE?
Dib: Oh. That. Maybe.
Clark: Why don't you check?!
Dib: FINE! Don't have to be so pushy...
Dib busts out laptop and types up a fury. View switches to over his shoulder. The screen displays the following message:
2 More Bombs Left To Find Before You Thwart My AMAZING MIND Doom May Fly Upon A Disc Your Leaders Are Put To Risk Save Them Hero, Save Them Now Or Before Me All of You Shall Bow!
Dib looks unmistakably puzzled
Dib: This is a LOT more difficult than the others.
Clark: Scanning the lines Not really. As you can see, the two middle lines are the only ones with any meaning.
Dib: Of course! All these other lines are just prattle. The clues are in those two lines. But where would we find a disc?
Clark: Still a rookie. Who is our leader?
Dib: Mr. President Man.
Clark: What is Mr. President Man's hobby?
Dib: Watching Ultimate.
Clark: What is Ultimate played using?
Dib: A Frisbee. What's your point?
Clark: Disc and Frisbee are one in the same...
Dib: Finally catching on The bomb's on the FRISBEE!
Clark: OF COURSE!
Dib: We have to warn Mr. President Man!
Clark: How are we supposed to do that?
Dib: I know! I'll call Toby! He'll know what to do!
Clark: You can't reach him. It's one of those days.
Dib: One of those days?
Clark: He's at a Frisbee game every month.
Dib: Wait a minute...
Pause as Dib stands there motionless, processing the input. He figures it out
Dib: HE MUST BE AT THE SAME GAME!
Clark: Psh. I could have told you that.
Dib: Then WHY DIDN'T YOU?
Clark: You didn't say the magic word.
Dib: Please?
Clark: No, Squeeky moose. We've got to contact Toby. Pulls out a cell phone and hands it to Dib, hitting an autodial
Dib: Talking into the phone Toby?
View switches to split-screen phone conversation. Toby pulls out cell phone in the stands of a huge audience
Toby: What is it?
Dib: TOBY! IT'S DIB!
The crowd is deadly silent. Toby starts yelling into the phone
Toby: WHO IS IT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! YOU'RE BREAKING UP!
Person sitting next to Toby taps him on the shoulder
Toby: Turning to person WHAT IS IT?
Person: Uh... sir... your phone isn't on.
Toby: Looking at the phone Oh. Turns it on HELLO?
Dib: TOBY! THERE'S A BOMB IN THE STADIUM!
Toby: Your mom's in the WHAT?
Dib: A BOMB IN THE ULTIMATE STADIUM!
Toby: A llama and turbulent uranium?
Dib: CUT IT OUT!
Toby: You mean there's a BOMB IN THE STADIUM?
Screen switches to fully on Toby. He stands up. His view shoots to different groups of people. A family with a mother holding a baby, a meat vender slapping himself with meat, the scary Chihuahua, and a goat tethered to a giant shoe.
Toby: Suddenly looks fearful and shouts to the bodyguards CODE 19238539! GET THE PRESIDENT MAN OUT!
The bodyguard closest to the President Man grabs him, tucks him under his arm, and dashes off, followed by more bodyguards and Toby. They dash out of the stadium to the limo and a bunch of squad cars. The bodyguard throws the president into the limo, which drives off, followed by the squad car. The roof of the limo opens and a helicopter flies out with a pilot and Mr. President Man in it. The helicopter flies off over a lake, as the limo and squad cars fly into the lake. The helicopter flies over the water a distance, then the President is dropped out on a parachute, lands on a submarine, and is taken into it by bodyguards on the submarine just before it submerges. The helicopter explodes in midair.
View goes back to Toby, in another limo. Goes into slow motion. The limo is driving. The Ultimate game is continuing, as a player grabs the Frisbee and throws it super hard. The only sound that can be heard is the ominous beeping of the bomb, slowing accelerating. The Frisbee flies through the air, coming past the goal, and into the stands. The light on the bottom is blinking very quickly. The Frisbee flies in slow motion, hitting the tethered goat in the head. The beeping stops. View switches to aerial looking at the stadium. In the stands at one end, an explosion goes off, growing and engulfing everything. The view goes to the limo that Toby's in, getting hit by the shockwave, rolling over and over and over and over and over and over and over an- (GASP!) -nd over and over again. The thing is thoroughly demolished. Fade out.
View changes to a hospital. It flies spirally through the ventilation system and centers on Toby lying in bed, hooked up to machinery. Dib rushes in
Dib: Toby!
Toby: Rasping Come closer Dib...
Dib: Umm... okay...
Dib steps closer
Toby: Still rasping Closer...
Dib steps closer
Toby: CLOSER!!!
Dib steps as close as he can go
Toby: You know what you must do?
Dib: Umm... I think.
Toby: Recoiling slightly Take this. Hands him an orange pill
Dib: Examining the pill What is it?
Toby: A Tic-Tac. If you're going to stand THAT close, I have to be able to stand your breath.
Dib: Eating the Tic-Tac You're the one who told me to get this close!
Toby: Silence! Now Dib, you must seek out the last bomb before Fred-
Dib: HIS NAME'S ZIM!
Toby: Oh yes. Of course. You must seek out the final bomb before Zim can set it off.
Dib: How will I defuse it?
Toby: Take Clark with you. The man may lack a liver, but he's got talent.
Dib: Wait, he hasn't got a liver? What does that have to do with anything?!
Toby: Hurry Dib. Time is run- running- o...u...t...
The constant beep of Toby's heartbeat being monitored becomes one fluid noise
Dib: Toby? Toby?! TOBY!!!
Clark walks up beside him and puts a hand on his shoulder
Clark: There there Dib. The man may not have had a spleen, but he was a great person.
Dib: Spleen? Huh?
Clark: Now time for chitchat, we have a bomb to defuse! Bust out that mechanical menace of yours and intercept the devious enemy's information AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
Dib: Huh?
Clark: Let's look at the next riddle.
Dib: Oh.
Dib takes out his laptop and opens the newly-arrived message from "Zim." The following message is displayed on the screen:
You're doomed. ^__^
Dib starts snickering lightly. Now more deeply. Now laughing insanely hard
Dib: THAT'S IT? THAT'S NOT A CLUE! THAT'S A TAUNT! YOU'RE TAUNTING ME ZIM! I WON'T STAND FOR IT! I'LL FIND THAT BOMB! Typing wildly I've hacked into your system once, I'll do it again! Cracking Irken technology... DONE! Accessing Recently opened documents... Folder "Master Plan of Unspeakable DOOM"... Subfolder "Phase 5"... that's funny, there's a riddle HERE... but he's also got directions to the location! The docks, huh? Standing up and taking a heroic pose YOU SHALL NOT BE VICTORIOUS THIS TIME ZIM!
Clark is sitting in a chair next to Toby. Toby has bed in sitting-up position
Toby: I told you he's crazy as a bucket of lobsters.
Clark: And he's talking to himself. That's not a good sign. But I think you're wrong about the lobsters.
Toby: Why?
Clark: I think the lobsters are a bit more sane.
Dib: Come on Clark, we have a bomb to diffuse.
Scene changes to the docks. It is nighttime. There is a HUGE oil tanker there, along with numerous warehouses. There's also a pirate ship with a bunch of dancing pirates on it. Of course, there are stacks of crates and a forklift. The trashed car zooms up and stops right at the edge of the water. They jump out and look around
Dib: Hmm... I wonder where he's hiding...
Gaz holding a bag, materializes out of the shadows in front of Dib, scaring the heck out of him
Gaz: Where WHO'S hiding?
Dib: Gaz! What are you doing here?
Gaz: Pointing at the pirate ship Some friends are having a party.
Dib: Wait, you're friends with some pirates?
Gaz: Duh.
Dib: But wh- Giving up Never mind. Have you seen anything suspicious around here, like... perhaps a bomb?
Gaz: Why do you ask?
Dib: Well, if the bomb EXPLODES, then Zim will accomplish his goal. And that's BAD.
Gaz: I get it. You and Zim are playing a game, huh?
Dib: It's not a GAME Gaz. This is more important.
Gaz: Well the secret to finding the bomb is following the white rabbit.
Dib: White rabbit?
Gaz: That's all I know. Gotta go Dib. Shakes a bag The pirates want their tacos.
Gaz walks past and off towards the pirate ship. Dib stands puzzling. Clark looks clueless
Clark: Who was the spooky little girl?
Dib: That was my sister.
Clark: Spooky. But not crazy. Just spooky.
Dib: What are you talking about?
Clark: Nothing. What clue did she give you?
Dib: She said follow the white rabbit.
Clark: Psh. That's easy.
Dib: Huh?!
Clark: There's a rabbit sticker on the back of the forklift.
Dib: There is?
Clark: Walking over and pointing at a white sticker that says "Look at me! I'M A RABBIT!" Just like she said.
Dib: I don't know... that doesn't sound like what we're looking for.
Suddenly, the forklift starts up and drives, without a driver at the steering wheel. But it seems to know where it's going. They follow it as it goes in between two warehouses on a wild path. They eventually follow it to a warehouse where it stops at the door and explodes
Dib: Panting I guess it's this one.
Clark: Panting How can you tell?
Dib: Pointing at the front of the warehouse That.
There's a gigantic Irken symbol on the front of the warehouse. They glance at it, then proceed into the warehouse itself. It's got chains hanging from the ceiling in a spooky fashion. There's a desk and a computer in the corner. On it is a small metal box. They start making their way towards it. They walk along when Clark gets grabbed from behind, muffled by a hand. Dib doesn't notice. He continues on. He stands before the desk, looking at a box, when a length of chain quickly lowers over his neck. It pulls taut and he grabs at it desperately. View goes back a little, to reveal the enemy. It's GIR
GIR: WOOHOO! I'M RIDING THE BIG-HEADED KID!
Dib: Struggling with the chain Get off me you crazy robot!
GIR: BUT I CAN'T! I GOTTA STOP DIB FROM FINDING THE BOMB!
Dib: Finally yanking the chain from GIR's grasp Ha!
But GIR clings to the back of Dib's head, covering Dib's eyes
GIR: If you can't see it, it can't see YOU!
Dib: Trying to tear GIR off his ENORMOUS head Get OFF!
GIR: SAY THE MAGIC WORD!
Dib: Please?
GIR: NO! TUNA!
Dib grabs GIR's arms and starts ramming him into the wall, using his body force to crush the robot
Dib: Take THIS! AND THIS! AND THAT!
Suddenly he realizes he only has the arms, and the torso, head, and legs blasted through the wall and fled. He drops the arms and goes back to the box, carefully removing the lid to reveal a bomb like the others
Dib: Clark? CLARK!
Clark hobbles out of the darkness, clutching a hand to his side
Dib: Clark! What happened?
Clark: Rasping Something grabbed me. It ran away though. But not before leaving me with this. He gestures towards his side
Dib: He hit you?
Clark: Of course not. Removes his hand to reveal a small token with the Irken emblem on it. He hands it to Dib He dropped that and dashed off.
Dib: So why were you clutching your side?
Clark: WHAT'S TO YOU PUNK? I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU IF I DON'T WANT TO.
Dib: OKAY! Okay. Can you deactivate this bomb now?
Clark walks over. Carefully prying off the outer cover, he reveals the bomb's innards. There's a digital timer, counting down from five minutes
Clark: DIB! THERE'S NO TIME! I CAN'T SHUT THIS DOWN IN FIVE MINUTES! ITS TOO COMPLICATED! I... CAN'T... TAKE... THE... PRESSURE!
Dib: Quickly snatching the box Then I'll have to toss it out to sea! Dashes out of the warehouse
View switches to Gaz on the docks, waving to the departing pirate ship
Gaz: SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH!
Pirates in Unison: YAR! SEE YOU GAZ!
Gaz turns to leave and sees Dib running with the box. GIR is leaping towards Dib as he runs. Goes into slow motion. They are all yelling. Dib is yelling as he runs towards and past Gaz. GIR is yelling as he bites down on the box with his mouth, hanging like a dog. Dib runs to the edge of the dock, grabs GIR's legs, and swings him around in circles, letting go. GIR sails through the air, box in mouth, landing on the deck of the pirate ship. Gaz kicks Dib into the water. Time returns to normal speed. View is from the docks, watching the pirate ship sail away
GIR: HI PIRATES! LET'S MAKE SOME BISCUITS!
The pirate ship explodes, in a shower of wood and pirates. They do not reach the shore though. Dib climbs up a ladder to the docks again. He stands next to Gaz, soaked
Dib: I did it Gaz! I stopped Zim's mad bombing plan!
Gaz: Shaking with fury You... blew... up... my... pirate... friends... NOW YOU SHALL PAY!
The pirates climb up, some seriously wounded, but most miraculously fine. They form a circle around Dib, all angry and soaking wet. They draw pointy weapons
???: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Clark leaps through the pirates, knocking them about with a giant plastic fish. He stands back to back with Dib
Clark: Go Dib! I'll distract them while you make a run for it! He grabs Dib and throws him over the pirates as they close in FREEDOM!!!
View goes to Dib, running as fast as he can. View changes to the Skool, with the words "The next morning." The view goes to Ms. Bitter's class. Everyone is sitting quietly. Ms. Bitters is giving a lecture on sacrificing goats
Ms. Bitters: Now class, it is very important that you cut the belly open BEFORE you chant. The ritual is NOT performed correctly otherwise. Now each of you go to your designated goats and begin. You WILL be graded on this.
Dib kicks open the door. Heroic music plays. Dib is covered in battle scars and thoroughly trashed. But he puts on his heroic face and marches to his seat
Ms. Bitters: Dib! Where have you been for the last day? Why were you absent?
Dib: Leaping on his desk I was SAVING THE WORLD!
Ms Bitters: That is an unexcused absence. You will receive three consecutive life-detentions. Now pair up with Zim and complete the goat sacrificing assignment.
Dib: Striding over to where Zim is holding a knife next to a goat Zim.
Zim: Dib.
Dib: I found all FIVE of your little toys in the city.
Zim: But you only stopped three. The others still went off.
Dib: But minor casualties in both cases! I have defeated your plot. Your plan was stopped!
Zim: My plan? Stopped? Ha. Ha ha. HA HA HA HA HA!!! He bursts into laughter My plan did not fail. It went exactly as I planned.
Dib: But I STOPPED YOUR BOMBS.
Zim: You still do not see. My intention was not to destroy the city. Why would I take the effort to set up those bombs, and then leave you clues to all of them? But they were still effective in delaying you.
Dib: You set up that ENTIRE PLAN just to get me into detention? That's just STUPID.
Zim: If it was so stupid, then WHY DID I SUCCEED? Huh Dib? WHO'S STUPID NOW? Bursts into laughter again
Ms. Bitters slithers over
Ms. Bitters: Zim, laughing during rituals is against Skool Rulez. You shall receive a life detention.
Zim scowls at Dib, who is smirking at him
Zim: You will pay for this Dib. OH SUCH PAYING SHALL YOU DO!
Dib: And I'll be ready for you this time.
Scene switches to a space ship somewhere in space. The view is of a throne- like seat. A large metallic-looking hand holding a rubber duck is all that is visible of the occupant of the seat
???: Hmm... this DIB creature is much more clever than I thought. I intervened in Zim's plot, and he found a way around. Squeezing the duck But this is just the beginning...
END
A/N: Sorry that took so long. I had MASSIVE Writer's Block. I had all the ideas there, but it was getting harder to put them all together. Obviously it swings away from the movie a bit. I did that ON PURPOSE. So don't claim I'm being "untrue to the movie." The chapter is definitely long. (9 pages in MS Word!) I wanted to get it all out there and stop putting it off. I hope you enjoyed it
Scene opens to display Dib and Clark playing what looks like Dance Dance Revolution. But the screen displays a fight scene. They are thoroughly absorbed

Clark: Everyone knows the FLAMING DOOM PUNCH OF ANIMATED PAIN AND ALL THAT IS BAD attack can be stopped by a full-charged defensive barrier! NOW! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE ATTACK OF DOOM! Clark's character leaps and headbutts Dib's character. Dib's character explodes. The screen flashes "Napoleon Wins!" Clark takes an interesting pose THAT'S THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE!
Dib: Huh?
Clark: Never mind. What were we doing again?
Dib: Sucks on juicebox for a while OH YEAH! We were waiting for the last riddle.
Clark: Ah yes!
There's a pause while Dib sucks on juicebox
Clark: Well?
Dib: Well what?
Clark: DID YOU GET THE RIDDLE?
Dib: Oh. That. Maybe.
Clark: Why don't you check?!
Dib: FINE! Don't have to be so pushy...
Dib busts out laptop and types up a fury. View switches to over his shoulder. The screen displays the following message:

Gaz turns to leave and sees Dib running with the box. GIR is leaping towards Dib as he runs. Goes into slow motion. They are all yelling. Dib is yelling as he runs towards and past Gaz. GIR is yelling as he bites down on the box with his mouth, hanging like a dog. Dib runs to the edge of the dock, grabs GIR's legs, and swings him around in circles, letting go. GIR sails through the air, box in mouth, landing on the deck of the pirate ship. Gaz kicks Dib into the water. Time returns to normal speed. View is from the docks, watching the pirate ship sail away
GIR: HI PIRATES! LET'S MAKE SOME BISCUITS!
The pirate ship explodes, in a shower of wood and pirates. They do not reach the shore though. Dib climbs up a ladder to the docks again. He stands next to Gaz, soaked
Dib: I did it Gaz! I stopped Zim's mad bombing plan!
Gaz: Shaking with fury You... blew... up... my... pirate... friends... NOW YOU SHALL PAY!
The pirates climb up, some seriously wounded, but most miraculously fine. They form a circle around Dib, all angry and soaking wet. They draw pointy weapons
???: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Clark leaps through the pirates, knocking them about with a giant plastic fish. He stands back to back with Dib
Clark: Go Dib! I'll distract them while you make a run for it! He grabs Dib and throws him over the pirates as they close in FREEDOM!!!
View goes to Dib, running as fast as he can. View changes to the Skool, with the words "The next morning." The view goes to Ms. Bitter's class. Everyone is sitting quietly. Ms. Bitters is giving a lecture on sacrificing goats
Ms. Bitters: Now class, it is very important that you cut the belly open BEFORE you chant. The ritual is NOT performed correctly otherwise. Now each of you go to your designated goats and begin. You WILL be graded on this.
Dib kicks open the door. Heroic music plays. Dib is covered in battle scars and thoroughly trashed. But he puts on his heroic face and marches to his seat
Ms. Bitters: Dib! Where have you been for the last day? Why were you absent?
Dib: Leaping on his desk I was SAVING THE WORLD!
Ms Bitters: That is an unexcused absence. You will receive three consecutive life-detentions. Now pair up with Zim and complete the goat sacrificing assignment.
Dib: Striding over to where Zim is holding a knife next to a goat Zim.
Zim: Dib.
Dib: I found all FIVE of your little toys in the city.
Zim: But you only stopped three. The others still went off.
Dib: But minor casualties in both cases! I have defeated your plot. Your plan was stopped!
Zim: My plan? Stopped? Ha. Ha ha. HA HA HA HA HA!!! He bursts into laughter My plan did not fail. It went exactly as I planned.
Dib: But I STOPPED YOUR BOMBS.
Zim: You still do not see. My intention was not to destroy the city. Why would I take the effort to set up those bombs, and then leave you clues to all of them? But they were still effective in delaying you.
Dib: You set up that ENTIRE PLAN just to get me into detention? That's just STUPID.
Zim: If it was so stupid, then WHY DID I SUCCEED? Huh Dib? WHO'S STUPID NOW? Bursts into laughter again
Ms. Bitters slithers over
Ms. Bitters: Zim, laughing during rituals is against Skool Rulez. You shall receive a life detention.
Zim scowls at Dib, who is smirking at him
Zim: You will pay for this Dib. OH SUCH PAYING SHALL YOU DO!
Dib: And I'll be ready for you this time.
Scene switches to a space ship somewhere in space. The view is of a throne- like seat. A large metallic-looking hand holding a rubber duck is all that is visible of the occupant of the seat
???: Hmm... this DIB creature is much more clever than I thought. I intervened in Zim's plot, and he found a way around. Squeezing the duck But this is just the beginning...
END
A/N: Sorry that took so long. I had MASSIVE Writer's Block. I had all the ideas there, but it was getting harder to put them all together. Obviously it swings away from the movie a bit. I did that ON PURPOSE. So don't claim I'm being "untrue to the movie." The chapter is definitely long. (9 pages in MS Word!) I wanted to get it all out there and stop putting it off. I hope you enjoyed it
