Okay, so my last application thread pretty much became a spam thread filled with some plain conversation, so I am going to start here with a full script, not just half a script like before. Please tell me what you think, and I hope it shows that I put alot of care into this script ;D
Btw, I have marked where the last half of the script ended and where the second half begins.

"The Babies"
Camera opens to a close up of Zim’s eyes (not disguised) taking up the entire shot with only bits of dark blue in the background to show that he’s in his lab. Suspenseful music plays as a bead of sweat tickles down his temple. Then we go to Gir’s undisguised eyes, wide and curious so you know he’s watching Zim. Then we go to Minimoose’s eyes, which are blissfully lost.
The camera turns back to Zim and pulls out to his entire head, and he is smiling triumphantly.
Zim: Finally! I have done it!
Zim holds up a beaker with a bubbling and shifting purple liquid inside.
Zim: I have rendered the very weapon that is sure to bring the filthy human beasts to their FILTHY HUMAN DOOM!
Gir: Ooh… What is it?
Zim: It is…
Gir: What is it?!?!
Zim: (annoyed) It is…
Gir: (goes into a spastic freak out and runs around the room like… well, like Gir) WHAT IS IT!!!! (continues to run and scream for a few more seconds until plops back down in his spot and sits quietly and expectantly.)
Zim: It is, quite literally, time in a bottle.
Minimoose: Meep?
Zim: GOOD QUESTION! This weapon is good for much… so much. Think of it; there are two periods of a lifetime in which humans are most vulnerable and controllable: At birth, when they are stupid and weak, and at old age, when they are forgetful and weak. This serum here brings them down to the age of a dull, newborn human worm baby.
Gir: Aww, I like babies! (reaches for beaker)
Zim: No Gir! This is serious! Both you and Minimoose are forbidden to do ANYTHING stupid or destructive…
Gir: (disappointed) aww…
Scene changes to Zim’s roof, which opens up, and a big gun rises out with disguised Zim sitting in the control seat. Undisguised Gir is sitting on the ground of the platform that the gun is sitting on, and Minimoose is hovering next to him.
Zim pours the liquid into the opening of a tank in the gun, and
closes the hole.
Zim: Now… who do we—OH!
Camera closes up on Dib staring up at Zim in the bushes.
Zim: DIB-STINK!
Dib: You’ll never get a—
Zim has already hit Dib with a laser from the gun, and Dib falls back into the bushes making noises like in Back Seat Drivers when the Resisty’s ship is about to hit him.
Zim: (laughs) Yes... YES...YEEEEEESS!!!!!
Zim begins to hit random people on the street with the laser, and as each human is hit they fall to the ground as infants.
Camera closes up on Gir sitting on the ground watching it like a good movie. He turns his head slightly and notices a “Self-Destruct” button on the bottom of the gun.
Gir: OOOH! What’s this do? (reaches out and presses the button.)
Zim: MUAHAHAHAHAHA—
Computer: Self-destruct initiated!
Zim: —HAHAHAHAHAHA… eh? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gun explodes in a purple mushroom cloud, and as dust clears, Zim’s Irken uniform is bunched up with something small moving inside of it.
Zim’s voice: No! No! GIR!!!!
Minimoose: Meep?
Zim: I’m in here!
The thing moving in Zim’s clothes finds it’s way out, and we see Zim as a smeet.
Gir: Aww! Master, you so cute when you small and smooshy!
Zim: Gir! Stop! What did you do? How did you—?
Gir: (cuts off Zim by picking him up and singing an off key lullaby and rocking him)
Zim: Stop it! Stop it!
Gir is in the zone, and he begins to dance and twirl everywhere, until he falls off the roof of the house. Minimoose slowly follows as they plummet to the ground, and on impact Gir is thrown one way and Zim is the other.
Zim: (sits up) I don’t understand! How did this—
Dib: Zim! You did this!
Zim: eh?
Camera pulls out and we see baby Dib in a diaper. He’s crawling towards Zim looking angry, but still really cute.
Dib: (points a finger at Zim) Undo this!
Zim: I… uh…
Dib: You can undo this, right?
Babies everywhere around the two begin to cry. Gir begins to go psycho from excitement and runs around drop kicking babies.
---
Zim: Of course I can, Dib-worm. This is, uh... all apart of my ingenious plan!
Dib’s not buying it. He stares at all of the other babies on the street and begins to talk to himself.
Dib: All of the other babies have turned stupid! I wonder why?!?! Tak said I was smarter than the rest of them… and so is Zim… kinda... so that means… (in awe) we’re the only ones left who can actually save us all!
Zim: Dib-stink! Your voice is interfering with my Incredible Brain! So shut up.
Dib: Zim! We have to turn everyone back!
Zim: Why would I do that? Now that they’re all overwhelmingly stupid, I can conquer them easily!
Dib: How are you gonna do that? You’re a baby too…
Zim: (seeming to just realize this) Doh! CURSE YOOOOOOU!
Dib: yeah, Yeah, you can curse me later, so how did you do this?
Zim narrows his eyes and begins to speak creepily, and the background of Zim’s house and yard begin to fade until Zim’s smeet head (which is undisguised, because he shrunk out of his disguise) is center screen, surrounded by darkness.
Zim: I harnessed the proper ingredients for the serum from youth itself.
We now see a flashback of Zim breaking into multiple nurseries and putting the babies into travel-sized containment chambers. The babies are crying as a liquid starts to form in a bottle hooked up to the containment chamber. Then he takes the babies out and throws them back inside their cradle, all the while, creepy music is playing and Zim’s voice continues to talk.
Zim: It wasn’t easy gathering enough to wipe out the city's population, but I, ZIM, am so AMAZING that I got it done!
We hear a smack.
Zim: Ow!
Flashback comes to an end, and Zim is once again in front of his house. Dib is pacing, running his hand through his miniature spike of hair.
Dib: Okay, so if you got that from babies, we’re gonna need to take this from something old…
Minimoose (Who has been standing nearby all the while): Meep?
Zim: (nodding thoughtfully) Yes, that is true. We may have turned everyone within crawling distance into babies… but we can take the VOOT!
Dib: Alright… let’s do this!
Zim looks at Dib as if he’s just fallen from the sky and shoves him away, out of the picture.
Zim: What is this “let’s” you speak of, Earth Boy? ZIM shall do this SOLO! After I (laughs slightly) succeed in this mission for age, I shall destroy you! ALL OF YOU!
Dib: No!
Zim: Yes!
Zim runs into the house with Minimoose trailing behind him, and the camera follows them, not showing what Dib is doing. The smeet stands straight in the center of the room.
Zim: Computer! Take me to the voot!
The computer gives no response.
Zim: Computer?
Computer: (flicks on) INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!
The tile that Zim is standing on ejects up, showing a spring beneath it, and Zim shoots through the ceiling.
Zim: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Zim lands in front of Dib, and sits up looking charred.
Zim: (wipes away Char and blinks) I don’t get it… why didn’t the computer recognize me?
Camera pulls out so we see Gir listening and watching everything going on. He raises his hand like he's in school.
Gir: Aww, don’t you ‘memba, master? After the time Schnoogie came over to play, you programmed the house to never let babies in again. HAHAH! (falls over and seems to pass out)
Dib: You know, I have a ship.
Zim: YOU LIE!
Dib: Really! I do! Tak's ship.
Zim: … (grumbles, seeming to be defeated but totally disgusted by what he's about to say) Okay, pig-stink. Take me to the ship!
New Scene: In the sky flying to the Old People’s Home.
We see Zim standing on Dib’s head flying Tak’s ship.
Dib: Why couldn’t I drive?
Zim: Because my head’s not as hideously big as yours, therefore you wouldn’t be able to reach the controls! Now shut your mouth puny worm thing! ZIM IS DRIVING!!
New Scene: Old People’s Home
The camera pans over a wide room with random old people doing things like sleeping in chairs, eating, shuffleboard, and going on about their grandchildren.
In the middle of all the cheery activities, the door falls over and, in the doorway, is smeet Zim with his spider leg lasers still growing. None of the old people bother to look.
Zim: Alright, nobody be alarmed, but we’re here to rob most of you of your ages.
And old man on a cane squints at Zim and walks over, poking him in the chest with a cane. Then he turns back and begins to call offscreen.
Old man: Maurice! The blob has returned! Run for your life!
Zim stares for a few moments before crawling inside with Dib trailing behind him.
Dib: Okay, Zim. Please, try not to hurt any of—
Dib is cut off by Zim laughing maniacally, and we see the shadow of smeet Zim on spider legs approach an old lady’s shadow. The old lady begins to flail and scream, and Dib’s face becomes terrified. The screen then goes dark and we see the words “One Hour Later”
Dib and Zim are in the Old Folks’ parking lot with a new beaker, this time with a blue liquid in it. Gir, who we can assume saw them coming from inside the ship, opens the door and pulls in the babies, not sparing them a Gir-like welcome.
Once the door closes, the camera cuts to an image of Dib looking offscreen to the right.
Dib: Zim, are you sure you know what you’re doing?
Camera pans over to Zim, where he is holding a laser gun and fumbling to put the new serum in.
Zim: Of course! I’ve just gotta…
He trails off as he snaps the beaker into place.
Zim: There!
The camera begins to pan outward until we are looking at the outside of Tak’s ship, and we cannot see into the windows because they are tinted in the sunlight. All the while, we have heard the four in the ship moving around until we are a good distance away. Then Gir’s voice comes on.
Gir: OOH! What’s this do?
Zim: No, Gir! NOOOOOO!!!!
There is a flash from the inside of Tak’s ship, and the image goes dark, then opens back up inside the Old People’s home.
Scene: The Old People’s home.
We see Dib and Zim sitting in rocking chairs facing each other as old people. They look much like they did in Dib’s wonderful life of Doom. Dib focuses his eyes on Zim with difficulty.
Dib: (scratchy, aged voice) I hate you, Zim…
End.

Okay, so please tell me what you think :S I'm so excited!
Btw, I have marked where the last half of the script ended and where the second half begins.
