Tim: Are we dead?
Dorothy Ann: According to my calculations, we teleported somewhere above... um... Tanzania.
Carlos: Oh great, now we need to consult with the local chimpanzees to figure out how to get back.
Phoebe: Carlos, there are people in Tanzania, you know.
Carlos: That's just what Tanzania wants you to think!
Rodrick: Greg, this is all your fault. You could've came home with me and I could've added a twenty to my ever-growing Mom Bucks collection, but you chose to get on the Mystery Machine with Scooby and the gang.
Greg: Rodrick, are you kidding? You would've been destroyed along with your stupid Mom Bucks collection if we stayed!
Rodrick: Yeah, well maybe if y... wait... GREG! MY MOM BUCKS COLLECTION! It was nuked! I'm ruined!
Greg: Wait, YOU'RE ruined? What about all those other people that were blown up in the explosion?
Rodrick: Uh...
Greg: Rodrick, our entire town was blown up and all you care about is your lame Mom Bucks collection? What about your band? What about Heather?! WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THOSE TOOLS YOU HANG OUT WITH AT SCHOOL?! Guess they're just priority number two, huh?
Rowley: Greg, maybe it's best if we didn't... um...
Greg: Rodrick, where are you going?
Rodrick: Away from you dorks. Greg, you're not talking for the rest of this stupid trip to... where the hell are we?
Phoebe: Tanzania?
Rodrick: Tarzany... um...
Greg: Heh.
Rodrick: QUIET, GREG!
The bus quiets down for a few minutes.
Phoebe: Well, Ms. Frizzle, now that Greg's town is blown up, the mission's compromised. All of Greg's friends are dead apart from Rowley.
Greg: Wait. What mission?
Ralphie: Should we tell him?
Ms. Frizzle: As I always say, better late than never!
Phoebe: Well, Greg, the plan was to pick you up and travel back in time to stop the plane from dropping the bomb, but we can't now.
Greg: Why not?
Phoebe: Um... well, if we stopped the plane in an alternate timeline, that would make us never see the plane in the first place, which would, in effect, severely alter our timeline...
Carlos: Blah blah blah, paradox, space-time continuum broken, you know, the works.
Greg: So, since we already saw the plane, we can't go back in time to stop it?
Phoebe: Yes.
Greg: So, what you're really saying is that it's your pet lizard's fault for pointing out the plane in the first place?
Phoebe: Um...
Everyone looks at Liz.
Liz: *Shrugs*
Ralphie: Oh man, we really screwed up this time.
Tim: Wait. We can still go back in time to make a plan before the plane drops more bombs, can't we?
Wanda: Seems like our best shot. Alright, gang, pick a random date.
Carlos: 1492! I wanna see Columbus!
The Bus: Time traveling to... 1492. Please fasten your seatbelts. Time travel will commence in 15 seconds.
Tim: Um, Carlos, Columbus was in Spain in 1492.
Carlos: So?
Tim: This is Tanzania. That'll make us teleport to TANZANIA in 1492.
Carlos: Holy cow, you're right. Um, WAIT, BUS! I WA-
