In a kitchen, water drips from the sink. The episode title reads, Okidoasis. Written by Samantha Hill.
Messy says, HMM.
[Slurping]
[Gulping]
On the table, Messy drinks from a straw.
He turns around and says, AHH...
HELLO!
I LIKE DRINKING WATER WHEN I'M
THIRSTY.
BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO DRINK IT?
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME IF THERE
WAS NO WATER?
HMM, WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW, GO
TO OKIDO!
[Magical music plays]
A green and white tunnel transports Messy to Okido, where he falls through the sky onto spring platforms and off a trampoline. He flips onto the ground beside Zoe and Felix and their pile of supplies which include a ladder and binoculars.
Messy says, HI, ZOE!
HI, FELIX!
Zoe says, HI, MESSY!
Felix says, HI, MESSY!
Messy says, OH, WOW!
ARE WE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE?
Felix says, EVEN BETTER!
ZIM, ZAM, AND ZOOM ARE TAKING US
ON A DAY TRIP AS A TREAT!
Zoe says, A SURPRISE DAY TRIP!
[Messy gasping]
Messy cheers, BA-BA-LA-LA BOOM-BOOM!
Felix packs the ladder into his backpack.
He says, WE'RE JUST PACKING SOME
THINGS SO THAT WE'RE READY FOR
ANYTHING.
He packs a broom and the binoculars.
Messy says, AND JUST IN CASE, NEVER LEAVE
HOME WITHOUT A BATH PLUG!
He holds up a bath plug.
He says, AND... MMM!
He holds up a sock.
[Messy giggling]
Messy says, NOW WE'RE READY FOR ANYTHING.
[Messy whistling]
Okidoodle rolls down the path from the garage.
[Okidoodle honking]
Messy says, LET'S SKIDOODLE, OKIDOODLE!
He jumps in Okidoodle with Zoe and Felix. In the city, they ride the tube elevator to the cloud ship parked on a roof. They run into the control room.
Messy says, HI, ZIM, ZAM, ZOOM!
Zam waves.
Zim says, AH, JUST IN TIME!
ZAM, SET THE COORDINATES FOR OUR
SURPRISE DESTINATION.
[Zoom whirring]
Zam flies the cloud ship off the roof.
Zim cheers, OFF WE GO!
At the control panel, Zoe says, PLEASE TELL US WHERE WE'RE
GOING!
IS IT A FOREST?
Zam says, NO.
Zoe guesses, UM, A FUN FAIR?
Zam says, NOPE.
Felix guesses, A MUSEUM?
Zam says, NO.
Felix guesses, ZOH, A PLAYGROUND?
Zam says, NO-OH!
Messy guesses, IS IT A CINEMA?
Zam says, NO.
Messy guesses, IS IT A LIBRARY?
Chuckling, Zam says, NO.
Messy guesses, IS IT A SUPERMARKET?
Zam says, NO.
Messy guesses, IS IT A MOUNTAIN?
Zam says, NO.
Messy guesses, IS IT A FAIRGROUND?
Zam says, NO!
Messy guesses, IS IT SOMEWHERE I CAN DIG?
Zam says, NO – WELL, YES.
[Zam laughing]
Zim says, HMM.
Zam says, THERE'S CERTAINLY LOTS OF
SAND WHERE WE'RE GOING!
Messy says, OH, THE BEACH, YES!
Zam says, NO.
Felix says, OH, OH, I THINK I KNOW!
IS IT THE DESERT?
Zim says, YES.
Felix cheers, HOORAY!
Zim says, ZOOM, YOUR ASSISTANCE,
PLEASE.
Zoom transforms into a screen that shows a map.
Zam says, THE PLACE WE'RE GOING IS
CALLED OKIDOASIS.
[Zam laughing]
The map highlights Okidoasis, where trees surround a body of water.
Zam says, IT IS IN THE DESERT, BUT IT'S
SHADY AND GREEN.
Zim says, AN OASIS IS A PLACE WITH ITS
OWN UNDERGROUND RIVER, WHICH
MEANS THERE'S ENOUGH WATER FOR
TREES AND OTHER PLANTS TO GROW!
AND THE NICEST FRUIT I'VE EVER
TASTED GROWS THERE.
YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Messy says, MMM, YUM!
LET'S GO TO OKIDOASIS!
OKI-GO!
The map shows the cloud ship arriving at Okidoasis. Messy jumps out of the cloud ship behind the others.
He says, HOT, HOT!
OW!
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH!
OWW!
He jumps around.
He says, THIS SAND IS HOT, HOT, HOT!
Zam says, OKIDOASIS IS JUST OVER THIS
SAND DUNE, COME ON!
She leads the group up a sand dune. At the top, they look down at dry land.
Zoe says, OH!
IS THAT THE OKIDOASIS?
She runs down the other side of the sand dune with the others.
[Cheering]
Zim tumbles and flips down the dune.
At the bottom, Zam says, THERE'S NO FRUIT!
[Cawing]
Zam looks at the trees.
She says, AND NO WATER!
THE OKIDOASIS HAS DRIED UP!
Zim says, OH NO!
THE OASIS SHOULD BE MUCH MORE
GREEN AND SHADY THAN THIS!
[Braying]
Messy says, LOOK, EVERYONE!
Zim says, CAMELS!
Camels walk alongside the dry Okidoasis.
Zam says, THEY MUST USE THE
OKIDOASIS FOR DRINKING WATER.
Felix asks, DO YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE
DRUNK ALL THE WATER FROM THE
OKIDOASIS?
Zam says, HMM, I DON'T THINK SO.
[Zoom whirring]
Zoom transforms into a screen that shows Zam beside a camel drinking water.
Zam explains, CAMELS DRINK LOTS OF WATER AT
ONE TIME AND STORE IT FOR LONG
JOURNEYS ACROSS THE DESERT.
BUT EVEN CAMELS COULDN'T DRINK A
WHOLE OASIS.
[Zoom whirring]
Zoom returns to their normal self.
Zam says, THESE CAMELS MUST HAVE USED UP
ALL THEIR STORED WATER.
THEY MUST BE VERY THIRSTY.
[Camels braying]
Zam says, LET'S LOOK AROUND AND SEE IF WE
CAN FIND OUT WHAT HAS CAUSED
THIS.
Messy looks around.
He says, HMM.
He backs up into a spiked plant.
He wails, OW!
He jumps away.
He says, THAT ROCK IS PRICKLY!
Zim and Zam look at the plant.
Zim says, OH, MESSY, THAT'S NOT A ROCK!
IT'S A PLANT CALLED A CACTUS.
OR CACTI, IF THERE'S MORE THAN
ONE OF THEM.
Zoe and Felix walk toward the cactus.
Zam OH, DON'T TOUCH IT!
IT'S GOT SHARP SPIKES ALL OVER
IT.
BE CAREFUL, THERE ARE LOTS OF
THEM AROUND.
Zoe asks, DO THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THE OKIDOASIS DRYING UP?
Zam says, PROBABLY NOT.
CACTI CAN STORE WATER FOR A LONG
TIME.
SO THEY DON'T NEED AS MUCH WATER
AS OTHER PLANTS DO.
Felix says, BUT IF CACTI AND CAMELS CAN
GO A LONG TIME WITHOUT WATER,
WHY IS WATER SO IMPORTANT?
Zim says, ZOOM, YOUR ASSISTANCE,
PLEASE!
Zoom transforms into a screen that shows Zim and Zam on a boat.
Zim says, ALL LIVING THINGS NEED WATER TO
GROW AND LIVE.
HUMANS AND MONSTERS NEED WATER,
ANIMALS NEED WATER, PLANTS NEED
WATER, FRUIT TREES NEED WATER.
EVERYTHING NEEDS WATER!
Zim and Zam ride the boat along a river past living things that drink water.
Zam adds, AND, IN FACT, MORE THAN HALF
OF YOUR BODY IS MADE OF WATER.
Zoe says, WOW!
Felix says, REALLY?
Messy says, THAT'S SO COOL!
Zim says, YOU NEED TO DRINK WATER TO
STAY HEALTHY, ESPECIALLY WHEN
IT'S HOT AND DRY LIKE IT IS IN
THE DESERT.
Zam says, PEOPLE, AND ALMOST ALL OTHER
CREATURES NEED WATER EVERY DAY.
BUT BECAUSE THERE ISN'T MUCH
WATER IN THE DESERT, SOME PLANTS
AND ANIMALS ARE ABLE TO STORE
WATER IN THEIR BODIES.
A cacti and a camel are shown full of water.
Zim says, BUT THEY STILL NEED TO DRINK
SOMETIMES.
JUST LIKE YOU DO!
Felix says, ZOE, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME.
YOU TOO, MESSY.
He passes Zoe and Messy water from his bag.
Zim says, AND THESE DESERT PLANTS
AND CREATURES WILL NEED WATER
SOON, SO WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE OASIS,
AND FIX IT!
Messy says, OH, WOW!
[Rattling]
Messy says, LOOK, WHAT ARE THOSE?
He points to a pair of yellow and blue lizards.
Zam says, OH, THEY ARE THE DESERT
NIGHT LIZARDS.
USUALLY THEY ONLY COME OUT AT
NIGHT WHEN IT'S COOL OUT.
Zoe says, THEY MUST BE VERY HOT AND
THIRSTY.
Messy asks, WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
[Messy giggling]
Messy chases the Desert Night Lizards as they scurry away.
He says, COME HERE, LIZARDS!
[Messy giggling]
Messy says, TOO QUICK FOR ME!
PHEW!
OH, THEY'RE SO QUICK!
Felix says, MAYBE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
WATER TOO.
Messy looks under a rock.
[Rumbling]
Messy says, HUH?
Water bursts out of the ground past the rock.
Messy says, IT'S OKAY, FELIX!
THEY FOUND SOME!
The lizards float on the water.
[Cheering]
Everyone says, IT'S WATER!
Messy says, WOW, MY TURN NEXT!
ME NEXT!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
WHOO-HOO!
He jumps up and down beside the lizards.
Felix asks, WHERE IS THAT WATER
COMING FROM?
IT'S LIKE A LEAKY HOSE PIPE.
Zam says, AH, THAT'S IT!
As a screen, Zoom shows pipe-like paths under the oasis.
Zim says, THE UNDERGROUND RIVER
THAT FEEDS THE OASIS MUST
BLOCKED SOMEWHERE.
THE PRESSURE OF THE BLOCKAGE HAS
MEANT IT'S SPRUNG A LEAK.
Felix looks thoughtful.
He asks, HOW CAN A RIVER BE
UNDERGROUND ANYWAY?
Zim explains, IT'S TOO HOT ON THE
GROUND FOR THE RIVERS TO FORM,
SO, RAINWATER DRIPS DOWN THROUGH
SMALL GAPS IN THE ROCKS, WHERE
IT'S COOLER.
Zoom shows rainwater being gathered underwater.
Zim continues, THE WATER GATHERS TOGETHER AND
FORMS RIVERS, WHICH REACH THE
SURFACE TO MAKE AN OASIS!
Zoe says, SO, IF WE FIND THE BLOCKAGE
AND CLEAR IT, THE OASIS WILL
FILL UP AGAIN!
Felix says, ZAM, IS THE UNDERGROUND
EXCAVATOR STILL ON THE CLOUD
SHIP?
Zam says, AH, GOOD IDEA, FELIX!
Later, Felix walks over to the ball-shaped underground excavator that has a large drill on top.
Zam says, THIS SHOULD DO THE JOB NICELY.
Zoe follows Felix to the excavator.
Messy cheers, BA-BA-LA-LA BOOM-BOOM!
CAN I DRIVE?
PLEASE?
Zam says, GO ON THEN, MESSY.
AND TAKE ZOOM WITH YOU.
Zoom follows Messy into the excavator.
Zim says, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE LEAK
AND LOOK FOR THE UNDERGROUND
RIVER.
GOOD LUCK!
Zoe says, BYE!
Felix says, BYE, SEE YOU SOON!
Messy says, BYE-BYE!
[Excavator rumbling]
Zim and Zam say, BYE-BYE!
They wave as the others drill into the ground in the underground excavator.
Felix wails, WHOA, WHOA!
The excavator spins as it drills a tunnel through the ground.
[Wailing]
Inside the excavator, Messy cheers, WHOO-HOO-HOO!
Zoe says, I CAN'T SEE WATER ANYWHERE!
Messy says, ME NEITHER.
JUST LOTS OF LOVELY DIRT AND
SAND.
Zam talks through a video call on the control panel.
She says, KEEP LOOKING, IT MUST BE
THERE SOMEWHERE.
GO DOWN A BIT.
Felix says, OKAY, ZAM, WE'RE HEADING DOWN
NOW.
He pushes a lever and the excavator drills further.
Messy says, OOH!
BA-BA-LA-LA BOOM-BOOM!
A videogame-like animation shows the excavator digging further underground, eating away at the dirt before reaching water.
[Cheering]
Zoe says, JUST AHEAD, WHERE IT GETS
NARROW, IT'S BLOCKED!
The group travels through the underground river toward a boulder plugging the tunnel.
Messy says, HMM, I CAN UNBLOCK IT!
With the excavator grabbers, Messy pushes the boulder down the tunnel. The boulder looks around their side of the tunnel, which is dry.
[Boulder squeaking]
With the boulder no longer blocking the path, water splashes down the tunnel.
[Celebratory music plays]
The rushing water pushes the excavator and boulder down the tunnel.
[Boulder squeaking]
The water blasts out of the tunnel, forcing the excavator and boulder out with it.
[Splashing]
Zam says, OH, WELL DONE!
With the excavator grabbers, Messy puts the boulder down on their feet. The boulder shakes off water.
[Boulder squeaking]
The boulder angerly walks away.
[Zoe laughing cheerfully]
Zoe follows the others out of the excavator.
She cheers, WE UNBLOCKED IT, ZIM!
Felix says, SO THE CAMELS AND PLANTS
WON'T BE THIRSTY MUCH LONGER!
Zam says, NOW YOU JUST NEED TO FIX THE
LEAK.
Felix says, AH-HAH!
I HAVE JUST THE THING!
He pulls Messy’s bath plug out of his bag. Messy snatches it out of his hand.
Messy says, AH!
TOLD YOU THIS WOULD COME IN
HANDY.
He plugs the leak.
He says, THAT'S BETTER!
Later, the Okidoasis is once again filled with water.
Zoe says, OH, ZAM!
YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS BEAUTIFUL
HERE!
She sits by the water with the others, shaded by the lush trees.
Felix says, OH, THE TREES LOOK
BETTER ALREADY.
Zam says, I TOLD YOU.
OKIDOASIS IS A VERY SPECIAL
PLACE.
Zim adds, AND IT WILL BE EVEN MORE
SPECIAL ONCE THE FRUIT GROWS
AGAIN.
Messy says, OH, I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!
LUCKILY, I BROUGHT MY OWN SNACK.
He eats the sock from his bag.
[Munching]
Messy sighs, AHH.
EATING SOCKS IS THIRSTY WORK.
I NEED A DRINK!
He glances at the camels and lizards drinking from the oasis.
[Braying]
He says, BUT I'VE GOT WATER AT HOME.
TIME FOR ME TO GO.
BYE, EVERYONE!
He waves.
The others say, BYE, MESSY!
Messy returns to his drink in the kitchen.
He says, WATER IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
FOR ALL LIVING THINGS.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU DRINK
ENOUGH WATER, ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU'RE HOT!
He drinks through the straw in his cup.
[Slurping]
Messy sighs, AHH.
He waves and says, BYE-BYE!

He pushes a lever and the excavator drills further.
Messy says, OOH!
BA-BA-LA-LA BOOM-BOOM!
A videogame-like animation shows the excavator digging further underground, eating away at the dirt before reaching water.
[Cheering]
Zoe says, JUST AHEAD, WHERE IT GETS
NARROW, IT'S BLOCKED!
The group travels through the underground river toward a boulder plugging the tunnel.
Messy says, HMM, I CAN UNBLOCK IT!
With the excavator grabbers, Messy pushes the boulder down the tunnel. The boulder looks around their side of the tunnel, which is dry.
[Boulder squeaking]
With the boulder no longer blocking the path, water splashes down the tunnel.
[Celebratory music plays]
The rushing water pushes the excavator and boulder down the tunnel.
[Boulder squeaking]
The water blasts out of the tunnel, forcing the excavator and boulder out with it.
[Splashing]
Zam says, OH, WELL DONE!
With the excavator grabbers, Messy puts the boulder down on their feet. The boulder shakes off water.
[Boulder squeaking]
The boulder angerly walks away.
[Zoe laughing cheerfully]
Zoe follows the others out of the excavator.
She cheers, WE UNBLOCKED IT, ZIM!
Felix says, SO THE CAMELS AND PLANTS
WON'T BE THIRSTY MUCH LONGER!
Zam says, NOW YOU JUST NEED TO FIX THE
LEAK.
Felix says, AH-HAH!
I HAVE JUST THE THING!
He pulls Messy’s bath plug out of his bag. Messy snatches it out of his hand.
Messy says, AH!
TOLD YOU THIS WOULD COME IN
HANDY.
He plugs the leak.
He says, THAT'S BETTER!
Later, the Okidoasis is once again filled with water.
Zoe says, OH, ZAM!
YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS BEAUTIFUL
HERE!
She sits by the water with the others, shaded by the lush trees.
Felix says, OH, THE TREES LOOK
BETTER ALREADY.
Zam says, I TOLD YOU.
OKIDOASIS IS A VERY SPECIAL
PLACE.
Zim adds, AND IT WILL BE EVEN MORE
SPECIAL ONCE THE FRUIT GROWS
AGAIN.
Messy says, OH, I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!
LUCKILY, I BROUGHT MY OWN SNACK.
He eats the sock from his bag.
[Munching]
Messy sighs, AHH.
EATING SOCKS IS THIRSTY WORK.
I NEED A DRINK!
He glances at the camels and lizards drinking from the oasis.
[Braying]
He says, BUT I'VE GOT WATER AT HOME.
TIME FOR ME TO GO.
BYE, EVERYONE!
He waves.
The others say, BYE, MESSY!
Messy returns to his drink in the kitchen.
He says, WATER IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
FOR ALL LIVING THINGS.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU DRINK
ENOUGH WATER, ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU'RE HOT!
He drinks through the straw in his cup.
[Slurping]
Messy sighs, AHH.
He waves and says, BYE-BYE!
[Upbeat music plays]
End credits.
