- Doot: I wanna rent this one!
- Video Store Clerk: Why!?! So you can keep it for weeks and weeks and not return it? What about all the other people that wanna watch it?! You ever think about them? Huh? HUH??
- [Doot begins to cry]
- Sgt. Shriver: He caught me sleeping during my shift. When you break the rules, Rankle sends you here. Every couple a days, he takes someone away. They never come back. Some say he just lets 'em go. Me? I say he takes them and turn 'em into horrible zombie soldiers in that new zombie lab they just put in out back.
- Slab Rankle: Oh, it's not that simple my friend... Slab Rankle is not that easy to pull it over in defeat! Because Slab...and Rankle and, and Slab and... TIME FOR ZOMBIES!

- Tallest Purple: Yeah! Parking Structure Planet!
- Zim: Truly I am amazing. How could they not cheer the very sight of my progress? Still, I am becoming impatient with my incredibly subtle infiltration of this planet, and am growing ever hungrier to be the destruction of the humans. Destruction is nice!
- Janitor: I believe you. I think I can help you.
- Dib: What are you gonna do? Clean me?

- Chickenfoot: DON'T LOOK AT ME!
- Dib: I wasn't- oh, never mind.
- Dib: Chickenfoot, come back! You're not a freak, you're just stupid!
- Reporter 1: You mean Chickenfoot was a fraud all along?
- Dib: This just proves that paranormal studies isn't a bunch of crazies believing in anything! We also disprove the frauds!
- Reporter 2: I'll bet this means Bigfoot is a fraud too!

- GIR: I had no idea.
- Zim: I've put up with you long enough, Dib! Now fight an enemy you cannot see!
- Dib: You're right there!
- [Zim gasps, then scoots over. Dib points at him again]

- Tak: This is about taking your mission Zim, NOT revenge!
- Zim: You're after revenge?!
- Tak: NOOOOOO! It's not about revenge! It's about taking what's rightfully mine. I should have been an invader! I should have been part of the Great Assigning! I shouldn't HAVE to be stealing THIS planet from YOU!
- Zim: [pause] YOU'RE AFTER MY ROBOT BEE!!
- Tak: NOOOOOOO!!!! Listen to me. Listen...carefully!
- Zim: Hm? Hm? Hmmmmmm?
- Tak: I'm a better invader than you could ever be. I blend in perfectly. The plan I have in store for THIS nasty rock will so impress the Tallest. And they'll have no choice but to make me an invader.
- Zim: WHAT IS THIS?!? And what is this plan?
- Tak: [Laughs softly]
- Zim: Yeah, Yeah. A master of comedy, now tell me this plan.
- Tak: Part one involves crippling your base so you could only watch... AS I RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!
- Tak: The great thing about your people, Dib, is that most of them don't notice. All they see is another faceless corporate venture, not a plan for world conquest!
- Dib: Wait. Is there really a difference?
- [Zim busts through the wall with the Voot Runner]
- Zim: It's over, Tak! The earth is mine to devastate! And I've already promised the moon to GIR!

- Gaz: Are there any video games around here?

- Zim: [voiceover] Sometimes I'm scared to think of what goes on in that insane head of yours...
- GIR: [looks out at the cows in the field. In his mind, they turn into Weenies wearing tuxedoes and top-hats]
- Dapper Weenies: [in GIR's mind] Dance with us, GIR! Dance with us into oblivion!
- Zim: GIR! What have you done?! This isn't information retrieval! Are you insane?!

- Dib: But you just looked like aliens before you turned into shoes.
- Meekrob: Hmmm. Yes, but you couldn't comprehend that.
- Dib: Yes, I could.
- Dib: Today, things are gonna change. I'm not just gonna sit around and let Zim get away with his... things he do. I mean-
- Gaz: [mockingly] "Things he DO"? What's your problem?
- Dib: Why did you choose me?
- Meekrob: You're the worthiest, Dib. And no one else had a head large enough to accommodate such power.
- Meekrob: Dib... whatever your last name is.
- Dib: That's right.
- Zim: It's been nice working with you GIR, now self destruct.

- Sgt. Hobo: Prepare yourselves, you slime-licking smort crabs, to face a series of trials! The finish line is the dreaded fortress of pain! Any mistakes and you will be beamed away, to a losers' holding pen! The holding pen... of pain!
- Throbulator: The holding pen is painful?
- Sgt. Hobo: Yes!
- Throbulator: Does it have to be?!
- Sgt.Hobo: Not really.
- Sgt. Hobo: I'm really looking forward to twisting you into a twisted, horrible knot, made from you.

- Zim: Okay. LOOK OUT!
- Zim: We cannot fail, GIR. Even as a small Irken smeet my dream was to pass probing day like a Slor Beast passes her young. Jiggly! And full of juice…
- Dib: You're just going to blow us all up? This is stupid! This is stupid, stupid!
- Zim's Computer: But seriously Zim if you just speed up the explosion-
