Peepers, will you just think for one second before you talk, okay?!

(Camera cuts to Dominator's ship and zooms into the room with the super computer)
Super computer: System updating. Integrating Frostonium capabilities. 28% completed.
(Cut to Dominator wearing a housecoat and slippers, looking very bored. She throws a ball against the computer, it freezes in mid-air)
Super computer: Ball updating.
(Dominator grunts in frustration and pushes the chair away from the computer while still sitting on it)
Lord Dominator: How much longer is this flarfin' update gonna take? I wanna destroy something!
Super computer: Calculating remaining update time. 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
Lord Dominator: Oh, that's not so bad.
Super computer: Recalculating remaining update time. 20 years and 5 days.
Lord Dominator: What?! Ugh, never mind. (Cut to her standing in front of three bots and leaning on one of them) Hey, Bot 76, you wanna hear a joke? Okay, okay, so a Flendarian, a Kremlon, and a ballet dancer walk into a petting zoo. And then, the ballet dancer says, "Annihilation? I thought her name was Susan." (She laughs) And then, you know, she got annihilated. (Bots don't react) Oh, come on! That was funny! (She sighs) Run humor protocol.
Bot: Humor protocol updating.
Lord Dominator: Whatever. I'm hilarious. (She walks up to a window and looks at a planet down below) Oh. I bet everyone on that planet is having so much fun right now. Ugh. I wish I could just destroy them. Hmm... But since I can't... bots, I'm going out. I know, I know. "But Dominator, it's too dangerous to go out there without your armor", yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, no one will even know it's me. Don't wait up! (She's shown wearing a disguise)
(Freeze frame, title card appears)
(Cut to Wander helping a few slugs cross the road with a huge traffic behind them)
Wander: There you go. Take your time. You're doin' great. [horns honking] Thank you for your patience, everyone.
[Dance music plays, karaoke is sung]
DJ: Next up on the mic is Sylvia the Zbornak.
Sylvia: ♪ Party time and you're on the move!.. ♪
Lord Dominator: Hey! It's that Zbornak that's always getting up in my grill. (She giggles) This night is shaping up even better than I thought.
Sylvia: (Sings off-key) ♪ Nobody's gonna keep you down, girl! ♪
♪ Gettin' into the music sound, girl! ♪
Alien: (Interrupts Sylvia and grabs the microphone) ♪ You know what you are ♪
♪ You're a groovin' gal! ♪
♪ On the prowl! ♪
Sylvia: (Tries to get the microphone back) ♪ Rulin' the party now! ♪
Alien: ♪ Groovin' gal! ♪
♪ I hear your cats meow! ♪
Sylvia: (Throws him and gets hold of the microphone again) ♪ When you get that song in your ear canal! ♪
♪ You can dance, you can rock! ♪
♪ Dance your way to the top! ♪
Alien: (Gets up, looking angry) Oh, no, she didn't!
Lord Dominator: Ooh, fight!
Sylvia: ♪ Groovin' gal! ♪
(Dominator smashes the alien with a table right as he's about to punch Sylvia)
Lord Dominator: Everybody fight!
[music]
Sylvia: Wow, thanks for saving my hide back there. Wait, do I know you?
Lord Dominator: No.
(A fight ensues in which Sylvia and Dominator are the last ones standing. They sing together)
Sylvia and Lord Dominator: ♪ Who's that groovin' gal? ♪ (They laugh)
Karaoke establishment owner: What the... my totally legitimate establishment!
Sylvia: Uh-oh. (She and Dominator run out of the bar) What a rush! I haven't had a decent rumble in ages. Pretty slick moves you had in there. I'm Sylvia.
Lord Dominator: Oh, and I'm, uh... Dee.
Sylvia: Oh. Nice to meet you, Dee. I guess I better go find another karaoke joint. I've got some... time... to kill.
(Cut to Wander still helping the slugs cross the road as the cars behind them honk)
Driver 1: Aw, come on!
Driver 2: Move! Just pick them up!
Sylvia: You wanna come along?
Lord Dominator: Oh... (she stammers)
(Suddenly Sylvia and Dominator are surrounded by the aforementioned alien's two bodyguards)
Alien: That's them, the broads that whaled on me. Get 'em!
Lord Dominator: Oh, Grop.
Sylvia: Quick, hop on!
♪ This is a girl's night! ♪ ♪ This is a girl's night! ♪

(Cut to Sylvia and Dominator hanging out on a roof)
Lord Dominator: ...and then the ballet dancer says, "Annihilation? I thought her name was Susan!"
Sylvia: (Laughs) That is hilarious!
Lord Dominator: I know, right?!
Sylvia: I gotta say, it is so nice to run wild for once, you know? Instead of always having to bail someone else out of trouble. (Cut to Wander still helping the slugs)
Driver: Go! Go!
Lord Dominator: Oh. I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes you just gotta let loose, have some fun blow up a sun, leave a solar system in an endless state of darkness and eternal winter as everyone freezes in their last poses of anguish, like, "Noooooo!"
Sylvia: (Laughs again) Oh, you have such a strange sense of humor. (Chuckles) Oh, why are all my friends so weird? (She climbs a pipe)
Lord Dominator: (Pauses) Uh... friend?
(Sylvia gives Dominator her hand. Dominator looks on for a moment and takes it. Camera cuts to them standing above the entire city lit up with lights, with a few planets above it)
Sylvia: Take a look at that. What a view, huh?
Dominator: Yeah... I guess... so... (she crosses her arms)
(The aforementioned bodyguards show up behind them)
Bodyguard: End of the line, girlies!
(Cut to Sylvia and Dominator standing in the same caraoke joint as before)
Karaoke establishment owner: So youse the ones who trashed my classy karaoke joint and roughed up my nephew! (Sylvia looks at the alien she aggravated as he scratches his head angrily) Now you two's gonna pay. Well, unless you offer me a sincere apology.
Lord Dominator: I'm sorry, what?
Sylvia: Oh. Oh, yeah, things did get a little out of control. We are sorry about the mess.
Lord Dominator: Wha... a-apologize? You really expect me to beg for mercy? Ha! Fat chance, you sad, pathetic excuse for a crime lord.
Karaoke establishment owner: Excuse me? There is nothing I hate more than rudeness.
Lord Dominator: Oh, yeah? And what are you gonna do about it, bub? Drip slime on me?
Karaoke establishment owner: How dare you?! You want scary, I'll give you scary! (He presses a button and the floor on which Dominator is standing opens up. She jumps to a safe spot) Maybe my pit monster should teach you some manners! (Sylvia and Dominator look in the pit. A half-eaten bone comes flying out)
Sylvia: Tone it down, will ya, Dee? You're gonna get us eaten!
Lord Dominator: I don't think so! These losers need to learn what happens when they try to threaten me!
(She jumps behind the karaoke establishment owner and pushes him into the pit)
Karaoke establishment owner: That was so rude!
Lord Dominator: All right, listen up, chumps. I'm the new boss around here. You'd all better do as I tell you or you'll end up just like your little frightened friend.
(The karaoke establishment screams, the pit monster roars)
Sylvia: What are you doing?!
Lord Dominator: Uh, taking over the seedy underworld so that we can run this planet from the shadows with an iron fist, duh! Come on, it'll be fun.
Sylvia: No. No way. This has all gone way-ay-ay too far! I did not sign up for this!
(The karaoke establishment owner is seen backing away in fear as the pit monster approaches him and growls. The latter jumps forward but is stopped by Sylvia, who's trying to hold him back)
Lord Dominator: What? Hey, stop it! I command you to stop!
Sylvia: Command me? Who do you think you are?
Lord Dominator: I thought we were friends. Friends are supposed to do what you tell them to do!
Sylvia: What, like robots? That's not what friends do! Friends help each other out, but they're still their own people! Speaking of which, how about helping me fight off this thing?
Lord Dominator: No one gets to tell me what to do. Fight it off yourself. All right, minions, who's with me?
Bodyguard: Our boss is in trouble! We gotta help him!
Lord Dominator: Seriously? Fine! I don't even need you lame-o's. (She jumps over the pit and leaves)
(Sylvia screams as she's pulled towards the monster. Dominator walks out of the bar, takes off her jacket and throws it on the ground. Cut to a few bones falling to the ground. Camera zooms out to reveal the pit monster. Sylvia opens its mouth from the inside, trying to get out)
Sylvia: I... can't... hold... him... off... much longer... run! Get outta here!
Karaoke establishment owner: (Runs slowly) I'm trying!
(Cut to Wander looking into the pit as the three slugs from before do the same)
Wander: Sylvia! What are you doing down there?
Slugs: Granddad!
Karaoke establishment owner: Kids! (A rope is thrown, he grabs it. As he's being pulled out of the pit, Sylvia grabs the end of the rope as well and is pulled out just in time. The pit monster jumps in an attempt to get her, but bumps into a wall. All the bones fly up from the impact)
(Wander and Sylvia hug)
Sylvia: You have no idea how glad I am to see you, buddy.
Karaoke establishment owner: (Hugs his grandchildren, nephew and bodyguards) Lady, I do not care much for that friend of yours. Who was she anyway?
Sylvia: I have no idea. And trust me, she's not my friend.
Wander: Oh, that reminds me. Guess who I just saw leaving as I was coming in? Dominator! Crazy, huh? (He takes off his hat and pulls Dominator's jacket out of it) Just threw this jacket into a bus driver's face causing a three-car pile-up and took off. Wonder what she was doing here?
Sylvia: (Stares at the jacket aghastly) Wait. What?
(Cut to Dominator's ship)
Lord Dominator: I'm back! Did you miss me? (She starts taking off the clothes she wore in the episode and puts on her normal outfit) So today I learned that friends are dumb, and way overrated. They don't do what you tell them to do, and sometimes, they even try and tell you what to do. Can you believe that? I don't even know why everyone makes such a big deal about them. How's that update coming along? (The screen of the super computer still shows 28%, which slowly changes to 29%) Ugh!
(Dominator slumps into her chair like she did in the beginning of the episode. The chair creaks. Cut to Dominator's ship. Cut to black.)
