Fade in on Zim's lab. Zim is sitting on a platform and lording over his new hypno-slaves; he is holding a control device in his hands. The aforementioned hypno-slaves are awaiting Zim's orders, and Gir is dancing around with a moose doll.
Zim: My devoted hypno-slaves, it is time that you followed my commands to make a performance worthy of Zim! Are you ready?
The hypno-slaves nod in a dazed manner. Zim presses a button, and music begins to play. The chorus of hypno-slaves follows Zim's spoken directions and dances along with the music.
Zim is Our Master (http://www.broadwaymidi.com/down/CL-01OpeningIHopeIGetIt.mid)
Note: The following sequence is sort of difficult to follow; try to bear
with me. I've tried to provide guidance where things are difficult to follow.
Zim's initial instructions last from 0:00 to 0:24 on the MIDI.
Zim: Alright...Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...
Again... Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...
Again... Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...
Again... Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...
Yes! That connects with turn, turn out
In touch, step, step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...
The chorus repeats the dance (0:25 to 0:47), and Zim continues with his spoken instructions.
Perfect! Now you turn, turn, touch down,
Back step, kneel down, bow, bow, bow!
Right, now do it once more, with feeling!
Show me how much you love Zim!
From the top! A-five, six, seven, eight!
The chorus does a dance (from about 0:57 to 1:47). Zim comes down to speak to the chorus (1:47 to 2:12).
Zim: Keep up the good work, slaves! Show how truly superior the choreographic might of Zim is!
Gir: Choreographic...
Zim: There is no doubt my hypno-slaves will put on the best performance, for I am Zim! I will rule this contest with my amazing dances!
Gir: Huh?
Zim: I'll win and stuff.
Gir: Oh yeah...
The chorus dances again.
Chorus: Yes, Zim is our master! Zim is our master!
Chorus 1: We are the hypno-slaves of Zim!
Chorus 2: We are the hypno-slaves of Zim!
Chorus: Our old lives had been a complete disaster,
Chorus 1: But now we hap'ly follow him!
Chorus 2: But now we hap'ly follow...
Chorus: Zim is so amazing! Yes, so amazing!
We'll cater to his ev'ry need;
His ev'ry command we will heed!
We'll cater to his ev'ry...
Zim: Slaves, I am pleased with you,
For, in your stage debut,
You will give me my due!
The hypno-slaves start dancing in a ballet routine in which they lavish gifts upon Zim (this lasts until 5:06). Gir tries taking some of the gifts, but goes away when Zim glares at him. He tries copying some of the dance moves, but just ends up getting dizzy.
Chorus: Zim's a great Invader! A great Invader!
Chorus 1: He can control our minds with ease!
Chorus 2: He can control our minds with...
Chorus: There's nobody greater! Nobody greater!
The planet Earth he's sure to seize!
For him, all conquest is a breeze!
He'll take the continents and...
Zim abruptly stops the music.
Zim: No! No! It's not 'the planet Earth he's sure to seize', it's 'he'll have the planet on its knees'! How can I show how amazing I am when you hypno-beasts can't learn the right lyrics to glorify me with?
The hypno-slaves give blank stares.
Zim: Whatever. Now, get in the ship; we must get to Broadwaynia early enough so we can prepare before the show!
The hypno-slaves enter a large Irken ship.
Zim: Hmmm... something's wrong. Where is the Dib-creature?
Gir: I dunno...
Zim: But did I not enslave him with my mighty machine? He must still be doing 'stuff'. Oh well, it's probably better that he's not performing with the rest of them. His freakishly deformed head would distract from the glory of Zim!
Muffled voice: My head's not big!
Zim: What was that? Did you hear something?
Muffled voice: Uh, no?
Zim: Oh, okay. Well, Gir, let us prepare to unleash choreographic doom on Broadwaynia!
Gir: Yay! Can I dance, too?
Zim: No, Gir. You will have to control the hypno-device while I'm onstage.
Gir: Aww, but I wanted to do the turkey dance!
Zim: You can do the turkey dance when we get back home, Gir. Now, on to Broadwaynia!
Zim and Gir enter the ship, which takes off. After it is gone, Dib emerges from the shadows. Fade out.
