“Remember, one false move and I turn Mervin here into a stinkbug.”
“You invented a ray that turns people into stinkbugs? No wonder they made you a janitor.”
“Go on. Keep it up. I’ll be giving you a position far worse than janitor once I rule the universe.”
“Yeah, about that. Do you have any idea how big the universe really is?”
“Of course I do! I’m a brilliant scientist…”
“Janitor.”
“… and once I have the Zorb, nothing will be out of my reach!”
“Don’t worry, Dad. He won’t get the Zorb. We made sure of that.”
“What are you babbling about?”
“You’ll see, as soon as we turn this…”
“… corner.”
“Security bots—scan me for identification and then return to secure monitoring status.”
“The Zorb’s still here! What happened to the Shrink Ray plan??!”
“Brian got hungry and ate a chunk of the Cheese Dad’s face. The bots didn’t recognize him, so they trapped us.”
“I ran out of pickles.”
“All right. Everybody step away from the Zorb. Klosmo, deactivate the security bots.”
“Nope. You can do whatever you want to me, but I’ll never let you take it.”
“Oh, but it isn’t you who’ll be spending the rest of his life as a stinkbug. You’ll be spending the rest of your life as the father of a stinkbug! Unless, of course, you aren’t careful where you step. BWAHAHAHA!!!”
“It’s okay, Dad. I’m just a Drifting Doofus, Under-a-Minute Moron, Larva Boy nongenius genius anyway. What’s adding stinkbug to the list going to do? Who knows, maybe I’ll even end up being popular in the stinkbug community.”
“If you turn Kelvin into a stinkbug, you’ll have to turn all of us into stinkbugs!”
“Yeah! Do stinkbugs like pickles?”
“Are you kidding me? A stinkbug?! Have you guys taken the time to think this through? I mean, they’re called STINKbugs for a reason! Okay. I’m in.”
“Nobody is going to be turned into a stinkbug. Security bots—scan me for identification and then deactivate for five minutes. Go ahead and take the Zorb, Failenheimer. I’m betting a ten-inch-tall, cotton-filled janitor won’t be able to use it anyway.”
“What’s the matter, Klosmo? No ‘HAR’? I happen to think this whole situation is hilarious.”
“Just take the containment vault and go. If you try to open it here, I’ll reactivate the security bots. We’re not about to be turned into goo.”
