Act I, Scene 1: Zim

[Enter Zim and Gir]

ZIM: (monotone)
Hi. I'm Zim.

GIR:
That's him!

ZIM: (more enthusiastic)
I'm an Irken Invader, an alien from space
And I'm here to enslave the human race!

[Montage of Zim's awesome, scary alien weapons in the background]

ZIM:
I've got lots of cool hardware to help me in my task
But in conqueror's glory I never get to bask

GIR:
Why?

[Zim gets all angry-faced and stalks across the stage as he shouts the next lines]

ZIM:
Because!
That Dib!
That conspiracy freak!
He always thwarts my plans and makes me look weak!

GIR:
I'm dancin' like a monkey!

ZIM:
But I, someday, someday I will win
And you wormbabies will bow down to Zim!
Yes! The super-duper powerful evil and frightening scary kind of emperor type alien
mastermind ruler of the planet Earth....

ZIM and GIR:
Invader Zim!
