MESSY: Wah! I feel funny. That was really weird. What happened?
[Woozy music plays, rustle]

MESSY: Hello, Zoe. Hello, Felix.
[Gentle music plays, footsteps rustle]
DESCRIPTION: Zoe and Felix plié, and then Felix leaps forward.
MESSY: Huh? What are you doing?
ZOE: Messy! We were ballet dancing.
[Whoosh]
MESSY: Oh, I'm brilliant at ballet! Watch. And twirl...
DESCRIPTION: Messy twirls, spins on his bottom, and jumps to his feet.
MESSY: The pirouette...

FELIX: Wow! That was, umm, different.
[Zoe’s wrist device beeps]
ZOE: Oh, it's Zim.
[Beep]
DESCRIPTION: Zoe activates her wrist device, and Zim appears on the screen.
ZOE: Hi, Zim.
FELIX: Hi, Zim.
ZIM: Hi, everyone. Can you come to Magnetto Zone, please? We need your help with the rollercoaster.
ZOE: Of course! We're on our way.
[Birds chirp, rustle]
DESCRIPTION: Messy twirls.
MESSY: I love rollercoasters!
[Whistle, honk, upbeat music plays, engine whirrs, seatbelts click, whirr]
DESCRIPTION: Messy, Zoe, and Felix jump into Okidoodle and fasten their seatbelts.
MESSY: Let's skidoodle, Okidoodle.
DESCRIPTION: Messy drives to Okido City. He drives Okidoodle to Magnetto Zone, a theme park.
[Upbeat music plays, roller coaster rattles]
ZOE: Where are Zim, Zam, and Zoom?
[Zim and Zam scream]
DESCRIPTION: Zim, Zoom, and Zam ride the roller coaster. Okidoodle stops beside the stairs leading to the loading platform as Zam walks down. Zoom floats behind her, and Zam tumbles head over heels behind them.
ZAM: Aha! I knew it. This rollercoaster needs urgent repairs.
MESSY: Really? Can we have a go? I mean, can we see?
ZIM: Oh, no! It's horrible. It goes up and down and round and round and up and over and down and up and round and...
[Zim groans, whirrs]
ZAM: It's supposed to, silly.
[Zoom chatters]
ZAM: No, the problem is the rails at the top are very old and aren't safe anymore.
[Alarm beeps, whirrs]
DESCRIPTION: At the top of the roller coaster hill, a rail is broken. Zam holds a yellow device with a needle bouncing at the end of a line on the display.
ZAM: My rail checker never lies. We need to change them. No more rides until we do!
MESSY: Oh, boo.
ZOE: How are we going to change the rails? It's a bit, er, high.
[Whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Felix, Zoe, and Messy look up at the broken rail.
[Beeps]
ZAM: I know a big robot who can help.
ZOE: Of course! Stan Tall! We'll go and get him.
[Beeps]
ZAM: Oh, thanks, you three. We'll stay here and make sure no one goes on the rollercoaster.
[Engine whirrs]
DESCRIPTION: Felix, Zoe, and Messy jump into Okidoodle and drive away.
MESSY: Let's Okigo!
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: An adult and child approach the stairs, and Zoom and Zim block their way.
ZIM: No, sorry. No entry. Health and safety rules, you see.
[Beeps, footsteps thunk, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Messy runs on a metal path in a building. A fox peeks around a box and then hides.
MESSY: Hmmm. Where's Stan Tall? Must be around here somewhere?
MESSY SHOUTS: Stan! Stan Tall! Where are you?!
[Stan chatters robotically, Zoe gasps]
DESCRIPTION: Stan sits on the floor in front of Messy, Felix, and Zoe.
MESSY: Hello, Stan. I always forget how, er, tall you are.
FELIX: Stan, can you come and help us fix the rollercoaster, please?
[Stan chatters robotically, whirrs, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Stan nods.
MESSY: Okay, then. Follow us!
[Whirr, upbeat music plays, engine whirrs, footsteps clunk]
DESCRIPTION: In the city, Okidoodle speeds on a road. A monster reading a book on a bench bounces sideways as Okidoodle passes. Stan runs past, and the monster falls off the bench.
FELIX: Messy, do we have to go so fast?
[Upbeat music plays, Stan’s footsteps clunk]
DESCRIPTION: A map of Okido City shows Stan following Okidoodle. Okidoodle drives in circles around Geoffrey’s café, and Stan follows him. Okidoodle drives back onto the road, and Stan follows with his eyes spinning.
MESSY: Yes! The sooner we get back to the rollercoaster, the sooner Stan will fix it, and the sooner we can have a rollercoaster ride!
[Upbeat music continues, engine whirrs]
FELIX: Messy!
ZOE: Don't forget about Stan!
MESSY: Sorry, Stan! I'll slow down a bit.
[Stan groans, shout, thump]
DESCRIPTION: Stan’s eyes spin, and he holds his arms out as he runs behind Okidoodle. He trips over a bridge and stumbles.
[Stan groans]
DESCRIPTION: Okidoodle stops in front of Stan.
MESSY: Wow, Stan! Are you okay?
[Stan chatters robotically, Felix exhales heavily]
FELIX: Can we go a bit more slowly, Messy?
MESSY: Okay.
[Engine whirrs, upbeat music plays, footsteps clunk]
DESCRIPTION: Okidoodle speeds towards the Magnetto Zone, with Stan running behind.
MESSY: Next stop, rollercoaster!
FELIX AND ZOE SHOUT: Messy!
DESCRIPTION: Okidoodle stops by Zam, Zoom, and Zim by the roller coaster stairs. Stan stops behind him and wobbles.
ZIM: That was quick. Hello, Stan! Can you help us to take off the old rail and put in these new ones, please?
[Stan chatters robotically, rail clanks, upbeat music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Stan’s eyes spin as he picks up the new rail. Stan sways as he removes the broken rail.
FELIX: Oh, no!
ZOE: Stan, are you okay?
[Stan chatters robotically, beeps, slide whistle, clank, thump]
DESCRIPTION: Stan drops the rail and sits on the ground.
ZOE: Look out!
MESSY: Stay there! Don't get up.
FELIX: Stan's gone all wobbly again.
ZIM: Again? Did this happen before?
MESSY: Well, it wasn't my fault, but we were trying to get here superfast, and we zoomed around and around and up and down...
[Energetic music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Messy spins and flips.
MESSY: Okay, maybe it was a bit my fault.
[The music stops, whirr]
ZAM: I know what's happened. Stan is having problems with his balance.
MESSY: 'Balance?' What's that?
[Beeps, whirrs]
ZIM: Balance is what keeps you standing up and stops you from falling over when you walk along, or run, or turn around, or climb on something.
[Zim exclaims, clunk]
DESCRIPTION: Zam jumps on Zim’s head. Messy jumps on Stan’s foot and examines it.
MESSY: But his feet are fine. His legs are fine. His knees are fine.
[Zoom beeps]
ZIM: Actually, Messy, your balance is controlled by something in your head.
DESCRIPTION: Zoe and Felix shrug at each other.
ZOE, FELIX AND STAN: Huh?
[Zoom chatters, upbeat music plays, beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom transforms into a screen. On the screen, Zim stands beside a blue-haired girl. The girl’s silhouette appears with gears appearing in her head, and lines stretch from her neck to her feet and her hands.
ZIM: Your head is where your brain is. Your brain is your body's computer. It collects information from your eyes and ears and nose and hands, and feet about what's going on around you, then tells your body what to do.
[Hands smack, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zim and the blue-haired girl high-five.
ZIM: Messy, can you stand on one leg?
MESSY: Ho ho! I'm the best one-leg stander. Ever!
DESCRIPTION: Messy balances on one foot.
ZIM: Hmmm, you are quite good. But do you know how you do it?
[Zoom chatters, upbeat music plays, beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom transforms into a screen again. On the screen, Zim watches the blue-haired girl juggle three balls.
ZIM: Your brain tells your body how to stay upright, without you even having to think about it.
[Thump, Zoom chatters]
DESCRIPTION: On the screen, a ball lands on Zim’s head. Zoom changes back to their peanut shape.
MESSY: Okay.
[Messy grunts, thumps, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Messy balances on one foot with his eyes closed. He sways and hops.
ZIM: Now, try it with your eyes closed.
MESSY: I'm still standing.
[Zoom beeps]
ZIM: Although your eyes help you balance, your ears do, too.
MESSY: My ears?
[Whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Messy shakes his head. Nearby, Felix and Zoe each stand on one foot, eyes closed. They both wobble and peek through one eye.
FELIX: But you don't hear balance.
ZIM: That's right, Felix. Your ears feel it. Your ears are very important in keeping your balance.
[Zoom beeps, thud]
DESCRIPTION: Messy falls on his bottom.
MESSY: Waah!
DESCRIPTION: Zam walks to Messy.
ZAM: I think Stan is okay, but I need to check. Stan, can we have a look inside your head, please?
[Stan chatters robotically]
DESCRIPTION: Stan nods.
MESSY: Inside his head?! It won't hurt him, will it, Zam?
ZAM: No, it won't hurt him a bit.
MESSY: Brilliant.
[Thump, whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Messy stands and spins.
MESSY: Then, we can get back to work on the rollercoaster!
[Whirr]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Felix, Zoe, Messy, Zim, and Zam stand on Stan’s shoulder, with Zoom floating over Zim.
ZOE: How do we get in?
FELIX: Ah! Leave it to me.
[Backpack rustles, rattle, whirr, ramp thunks]
DESCRIPTION: Felix takes a device with four cylinders out of his backpack. He places it over four screws on the door on the side of Stan’s head. The door unlocks and lowers, revealing a ramp with stairs leading inside.
ZIM: Well done, Felix.
ZIM: Now, Messy, remember, please don't touch anything.
MESSY: Of course!
[Felix giggles]
DESCRIPTION: Inside Stan’s head, Felix and Zoe smile through the doorway at Messy.
MESSY: What?
[Footsteps patter, light music notes play]
MESSY: Whoa! This is amazing!
[Exclaiming, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Inside Stan’s head, bright lights and shapes glow in the walls. Zim and Zam run across a bridge and put their backs against a machine with levers and buttons as they edge around it on a narrow platform.
FELIX: Cool!
ZOE: Wow!
ZIM: Careful, now. Keep your balance.
MESSY: I still don't know how my ears are keeping me from falling over.
[Footsteps patter, soft music plays, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zim points to Stan’s pink inner ear.
ZIM: Well, Messy, look, that's how! Your ear has a special bit inside called the inner ear. That's what's used for balance. Stan has an inner ear that works the same as yours.
[Zoom beeps, soft music continues, slide whistle, hops thump]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom transforms into a screen, and the blue-haired girl appears. A diagram reveals her inner ear and ear canal. She jumps, and the liquid in her inner ear moves. She smiles and hops from side to side beside Zim.
ZIM: When you move up, down, or side or side, the liquid in those tube moves too, and those sensors tell your brain which way you're moving. Then your brain tells your legs, knees, feet, toes, and the rest of you what to do to keep your balance.
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Messy balances on one foot.
MESSY: Oh, yes! When I do this, I can feel my feet and legs and knees and toe and everything, all stopping me from falling over.
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom, in their peanut shape, hovers beside Zim.
ZIM: That's because your brain is telling your body what to do.
ZAM: Well, Stan's inner ear is fine. I think you just made him dizzy.
DESCRIPTION: Messy slowly spins with his eyes shut.
MESSY: 'Dizzee'? That's a lovely word. Dizzy. Dizzee. Deezee. What does it mean?
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom changes into the screen. On the screen, the blue-haired girl cartwheels beside Zim. She sits, and the liquid in her inner ear splashes. Her eyes spin.
ZIM: If you spin around too much, your inner ear can get confused and sends the wrong signals to your brain, and that's when you feel dizzy.
DESCRIPTION: Zoom floats in their peanut shape over Zim, Zam, Felix, and Zoe. Messy looks up Stan’s inner ear.
MESSY: Stan, you just got dizzee.
[Beeps]
ZAM: Messy, let's tell him to his face.
[Chimes, whirrs]
DESCRIPTION: Later, everyone stands on the ground beside Stan, who holds his hand against his head.
MESSY: Stan, you just got dizzy, so you're okay.
[Stan chatters robotically, slide whistle]
DESCRIPTION: Zoe spins.
ZOE: No more spinning, twisting, twirling, or whirling around, okay?
[Stan chatters robotically]
DESCRIPTION: Stan nods.
ZAM: Now that you are better, Stan, let's fix that rollercoaster.
[Stan chatters robotically, upbeat music plays, rail thuds]
DESCRIPTION: Stan stands and picks up the new rail with his magnetic hand.
FELIX: Er, left a bit.
ZOE: Down a bit.
MESSY: That's it!
[Stan chatters robotically, whirrs, beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Stan installs the new rail at the top of the roller coaster.
ZAM: Thank you for helping to fix the rollercoaster, Stan. It's as good as new.
[Stan chatters robotically, whirrs, Zim beeps, tense music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Stan waves. Later, on the loading platform, Zim and Zam stand by the roller coaster cars. In the first car, Messy sits in the front seat and Zoe sits behind him. Felix sits at the front of the second car, and Zoom sits in the back seat.
ZIM: Right, everyone. Are you sure you want to do this?
[Roller coaster rattles]
DESCRIPTION: The cars roll away from the platform.
MESSY: Yes! I can't wait to get dizzy!
[Roller coaster rattles]
DESCRIPTION: The cars move up the rail, and Messy looks around excitedly.
EVERYONE: Whoa...
[Roller coaster rattles, exciting music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The roller coaster cars quickly roll down the hill.
[Shouts, cheers, laughing, roller coaster rattles]
MESSY: Woo hoo hoo!
[Thump, whirring music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Messy hops onto the platform, and his eyes spin. Zoe and Felix sway as they walk.
MESSY: I'm dizzy!
ZOE: Me too!
FELIX: My inner ear is confused!
[Zoom chatters]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom’s eyes spin, and pink birds fly around their head. Messy skips down the stairs and spins at the bottom. Behind him, Felix and Zoe slowly walk down the stairs with their arms out to their sides.
MESSY: That was an amazing ride! Thanks for fixing the rollercoaster, Stan.
[Stan chatters robotically, upbeat music plays, everyone laughs]
DESCRIPTION: Stan smiles, bows, and spins.
MESSY: Time to go. See you next time! Bye!
FELIX: Bye, Messy!
ZIM: Bye, Messy!
[Chimes]
DESCRIPTION: At home, Messy lands on the living room floor and twirls.
MESSY: Wee! Ho ho!
[Footsteps patter]
DESCRIPTION: Messy walks towards the blocks.
MESSY: Phew. I feel dizzy again. All that spinning around has made my inner ear confused.
DESCRIPTION: Messy staggers.
MESSY: Whoa!
[Giggles, groans, thump]
DESCRIPTION: Messy sits beside the blocks and waves.
MESSY: Time for a sit-down. Bye, everyone!
[Upbeat music plays]
Messy shouts, BA-LA-BA-LA BOOM-BOOM!

MESSY: I'm still standing.
[Zoom beeps]

MESSY: My ears?
[Whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Messy shakes his head. Nearby, Felix and Zoe each stand on one foot, eyes closed. They both wobble and peek through one eye.
FELIX: But you don't hear balance.

[Zoom beeps, thud]
DESCRIPTION: Messy falls on his bottom.
MESSY: Waah!

MESSY: Inside his head?! It won't hurt him, will it, Zam?
ZAM: No, it won't hurt him a bit.
MESSY: Brilliant.
[Thump, whoosh]
DESCRIPTION: Messy stands and spins.
MESSY: Then, we can get back to work on the rollercoaster!
[Whirr]
DESCRIPTION: Later, Felix, Zoe, Messy, Zim, and Zam stand on Stan’s shoulder, with Zoom floating over Zim.
ZOE: How do we get in?
FELIX: Ah! Leave it to me.
[Backpack rustles, rattle, whirr, ramp thunks]
DESCRIPTION: Felix takes a device with four cylinders out of his backpack. He places it over four screws on the door on the side of Stan’s head. The door unlocks and lowers, revealing a ramp with stairs leading inside.
ZIM: Well done, Felix.
ZIM: Now, Messy, remember, please don't touch anything.
MESSY: Of course!
[Felix giggles]
DESCRIPTION: Inside Stan’s head, Felix and Zoe smile through the doorway at Messy.
MESSY: What?
[Footsteps patter, light music notes play]
MESSY: Whoa! This is amazing!
[Exclaiming, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Inside Stan’s head, bright lights and shapes glow in the walls. Zim and Zam run across a bridge and put their backs against a machine with levers and buttons as they edge around it on a narrow platform.
FELIX: Cool!
ZOE: Wow!
ZIM: Careful, now. Keep your balance.
MESSY: I still don't know how my ears are keeping me from falling over.
[Footsteps patter, soft music plays, Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zim points to Stan’s pink inner ear.
ZIM: Well, Messy, look, that's how! Your ear has a special bit inside called the inner ear. That's what's used for balance. Stan has an inner ear that works the same as yours.
[Zoom beeps, soft music continues, slide whistle, hops thump]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom transforms into a screen, and the blue-haired girl appears. A diagram reveals her inner ear and ear canal. She jumps, and the liquid in her inner ear moves. She smiles and hops from side to side beside Zim.
ZIM: When you move up, down, or side or side, the liquid in those tube moves too, and those sensors tell your brain which way you're moving. Then your brain tells your legs, knees, feet, toes, and the rest of you what to do to keep your balance.
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Messy balances on one foot.
MESSY: Oh, yes! When I do this, I can feel my feet and legs and knees and toe and everything, all stopping me from falling over.
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom, in their peanut shape, hovers beside Zim.
ZIM: That's because your brain is telling your body what to do.
ZAM: Well, Stan's inner ear is fine. I think you just made him dizzy.
DESCRIPTION: Messy slowly spins with his eyes shut.
MESSY: 'Dizzee'? That's a lovely word. Dizzy. Dizzee. Deezee. What does it mean?
[Zoom beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom changes into the screen. On the screen, the blue-haired girl cartwheels beside Zim. She sits, and the liquid in her inner ear splashes. Her eyes spin.
ZIM: If you spin around too much, your inner ear can get confused and sends the wrong signals to your brain, and that's when you feel dizzy.
DESCRIPTION: Zoom floats in their peanut shape over Zim, Zam, Felix, and Zoe. Messy looks up Stan’s inner ear.
MESSY: Stan, you just got dizzee.
[Beeps]
ZAM: Messy, let's tell him to his face.
[Chimes, whirrs]
DESCRIPTION: Later, everyone stands on the ground beside Stan, who holds his hand against his head.
MESSY: Stan, you just got dizzy, so you're okay.
[Stan chatters robotically, slide whistle]
DESCRIPTION: Zoe spins.
ZOE: No more spinning, twisting, twirling, or whirling around, okay?
[Stan chatters robotically]
DESCRIPTION: Stan nods.
ZAM: Now that you are better, Stan, let's fix that rollercoaster.
[Stan chatters robotically, upbeat music plays, rail thuds]
DESCRIPTION: Stan stands and picks up the new rail with his magnetic hand.
FELIX: Er, left a bit.
ZOE: Down a bit.
MESSY: That's it!
[Stan chatters robotically, whirrs, beeps]
DESCRIPTION: Stan installs the new rail at the top of the roller coaster.
ZAM: Thank you for helping to fix the rollercoaster, Stan. It's as good as new.
[Stan chatters robotically, whirrs, Zim beeps, tense music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Stan waves. Later, on the loading platform, Zim and Zam stand by the roller coaster cars. In the first car, Messy sits in the front seat and Zoe sits behind him. Felix sits at the front of the second car, and Zoom sits in the back seat.
ZIM: Right, everyone. Are you sure you want to do this?
[Roller coaster rattles]
DESCRIPTION: The cars roll away from the platform.
MESSY: Yes! I can't wait to get dizzy!
[Roller coaster rattles]
DESCRIPTION: The cars move up the rail, and Messy looks around excitedly.
EVERYONE: Whoa...
[Roller coaster rattles, exciting music plays]
DESCRIPTION: The roller coaster cars quickly roll down the hill.
[Shouts, cheers, laughing, roller coaster rattles]
MESSY: Woo hoo hoo!
[Thump, whirring music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Messy hops onto the platform, and his eyes spin. Zoe and Felix sway as they walk.
MESSY: I'm dizzy!
ZOE: Me too!
FELIX: My inner ear is confused!
[Zoom chatters]
DESCRIPTION: Zoom’s eyes spin, and pink birds fly around their head. Messy skips down the stairs and spins at the bottom. Behind him, Felix and Zoe slowly walk down the stairs with their arms out to their sides.
MESSY: That was an amazing ride! Thanks for fixing the rollercoaster, Stan.
[Stan chatters robotically, upbeat music plays, everyone laughs]
DESCRIPTION: Stan smiles, bows, and spins.
MESSY: Time to go. See you next time! Bye!
FELIX: Bye, Messy!
ZIM: Bye, Messy!
[Chimes]
DESCRIPTION: At home, Messy lands on the living room floor and twirls.
MESSY: Wee! Ho ho!
[Footsteps patter]
DESCRIPTION: Messy walks towards the blocks.
MESSY: Phew. I feel dizzy again. All that spinning around has made my inner ear confused.
DESCRIPTION: Messy staggers.
MESSY: Whoa!
[Giggles, groans, thump]
DESCRIPTION: Messy sits beside the blocks and waves.
MESSY: Time for a sit-down. Bye, everyone!
[Upbeat music plays]
Messy shouts, BA-LA-BA-LA BOOM-BOOM!
