Dib: Dad! Dad! Hey, are you home?
Gaz: Shhh, Dib he's not in the mood.
Dib: Huh? What's going on?
Gaz: I dunno he's been on the phone for a long time.
Membrane: (sighs and sets down phone)
Oh hello there children.
Dib: Hey Dad you alright.
Membrane: No.
Dib: What's wrong.
Membrane: I just got off the phone with my brother. My parents are... Son there was an accident and...
Dib: You mean...

Dib: Dad I'm so sorry I-

Zim: hmmm... I hope those people we might have accidentally on purpose killed weren't important.
Gir: I wanted to eat them! But yous wouldn't let me!
Zim: GIR! The last time I let you eat someone, a private investigator was assigned to us, and we had to kill him!
Gir: aww, can I eat another baby?
Zim: Shut up now GIR! We need to get more intel on the Membrane family. Now let's go spy on the Dib!
Gir: Weee Mary!!
(They launch themselves across the street)
Zim: hmmm seems the cocoon themselves within each other for, for what, what are they doing?
Gir: they doin a hug. You and me can do a hug too!
Zim: no Gir, I need to figure out the point of this so called hugging.
Membrane: Did you kids hear something?
Dib: I'll go check.
Zim! Oh come on! We can't even have a family moment.
Zim: Dib I want you to hug me!
Dib: WHAT
Zim: I want to know everything there is to know about this human activity called hugging, so I will sacrifice my dignity for a single moment and experience a Dib-hug first hand.
Dib: umm no.
(Starts to walk away but gets an idea)
Dib:ya know, there are lots of things humans do you wouldn't understand
Come with me, and I'll teach you the ropes
(Cut to Zim tied in ropes over a pool full of piranha's)
Zim: I've observed humans for some time now, and I'm pretty sure they don't do this!
Dib: Ahh, but you see, this may not be a modern practice, but, uhhhh, ancient humans did this as, ummmm, a coming of age test!
Zim: What the heck does that mean?
Dib: It means you need to to this if you ever want to be considered an alien man instead of an alien boy!
(cuts the rope)
