[edit] Plot
Dib is to present his findings on Zim to the Swollen Eyeball Network in a meeting, but needs his father's permission slip. However, he has to be on his father (Professor Membrane)'s television show to get him to sign the slip, and goes through several tasks (including a battle with Shunk Wugga and a verbal quiz) for the audience, thwarted several times by the vengeful Gaz, who is angry at him for eating a pizza slice.
Finally, he gets to Professor Membrane, who does not recognize him, and Dib is thrown out into an alley. Luckily, Membrane inadvertenly signs the slip anyway. Dib is overjoyed, and runs off to the meeting. About to make his presentation, he realizes he has forgotten his laptop...
