"My Tallest! My Tallest! Hey! Hey! Hey! My Tallest!" Zim continued in varying tones. "My Taaaaaalllllleeeeest! It is Zim! I have a report! My Tallest!"

"Shut up! Shut up, Zim! We heard you the first twenty times! My GAWD!" Purple had been annoyed to the point of yelling, however Red figured that the sooner they heard Zim out, the sooner they could cut off his transmission.

"What is it, Zim?" Red questioned, the word "Zim" rolling off his tongue with great disgust.

Zim was overly eager to explain his new visions to his almighty leaders. "I have new plans for the conquest of Earth! I am currently in the process of building a giant machine capable of—"

"Yeah, yeah," Red cut him off. "We have Flobee on another signal, Zim. Tell us later."

"Or not," Purple added without the slightest hint of sarcasm in his voice.

The transmission was terminated, and Zim was left talking to his computer. "Computer! You must know of my amazing plan!"

"I already know."

"You do? But I haven't had the chance to dramatically reveal my super amazing Zim plan," Zim explained histrionically.

"I'm your computer. I already know what all your plans are."

"Oh, okay then. Gir!" Gir fell out of an air vent at Zim's feet after the summoning. "Gir! You shall know of your master's amazing plan of doom for Earth!"

"My head's flat as a pancake!" Gir exclaimed, prodding at his metal cranium.

"Ooookaaaaay…." Zim eyed the robot curiously. Even if he had revealed his plan to Gir, the robot wouldn't have the intelligence to appreciate its complexity. Seeing as how it was Monday morning, Zim gave up and decided to head for skool.

"Mornin' Zim! Beautiful day, isn't it?" Dib ran to catch up to Zim along the sidewalk on the way to class.

"Its no different from any other stupid Earth day." Zim gave Dib an evil glance. "Stop following me, Dib pig."

"What's wrong, Zim? Evil scheme not coming along so well?"

"NO! It's coming along just fine, for your information." Zim retorted.

"Well, what is it?" Dib asked for the second time in two days, hoping to finally get some answers. Zim eyed Dib skeptically. He had neither insulted him nor gone off on his accusing tangents all morning. Zim, anxious to explain his plan anyway, finally gave in.

"It's not as though you'll be able to stop me anyway, but if you must know, I'm going to flood the earth by melting the polar ice caps. And while the humans struggle, I'll be miles away in my space station, calling the fleet to prepare to enslave you all!" Zim explained his plan in great detail, feeling very proud of himself while Dib soaked in all the information. At lunch the two sat together as Zim boasted and Dib listened. Gaz was very thankful to have the afternoon to herself.

"So, when can I see this thing?" Dib questioned.

"What? You expect me to let you…" Zim thought for a second. "So you want to marvel at my amazing contraption before you die, huh? Okay. Stop by after skool today to meet the machine responsible for your future demise." It was then that Dib realized that by pretending to be kind to Zim, only then could he lead him into a false sense of security and get his way.
