"I'm fine..."
  • The day after the big "Mom and Dad Are Gone" celebration, when the kids lament over losing their parents, thinking they abandoned them.
    Jimmy: What kind of parents just take off and leave their kid? And they didn't even say goodbye.
  • When Goobot reveals that the parents' abduction was Jimmy's fault, he throws them in the dungeon and takes Goddard away from Jimmy, who calls out for him.
  • In the dungeon, the kids have lost all hope and believe they'll never see their families again. Not to mention the idea of them geting devoured by a scary monster.
  • Sheen and Nick's argument.
    Nick: Oh, you are such a baby!
    Sheen: Why don't you leave me alone? You're just picking on me because you're insecure!
  • When Cindy goes to comfort Jimmy, who starts crying and feeling useless after everyone but her blames him for everything.
    Cindy: Jimmy, you there? Look. Don't listen to them, they're just scared. Are you okay?
    Jimmy: [sobbing] Yeah, I'm fine.
    Cindy: Don't be so hard on yourself. We'll get out of this.
    Jimmy: [continues sobbing]
  • A little bit of Fridge Horror: Goobot had Goddard taken away to be dismantled, with Ooblar in charge of the process. By the time Jimmy hatched upon the idea of using Libby's cellphone and Goddard's speaker to trick him into thinking Goddard was about to self-destruct, Ooblar managed to figure out how to start the dismantling process. If Jimmy was a few minutes slower, he could have lost his dog.
  • When the kids are camping on a planetoid, Carl sees a shooting star, and, recalling the star he, Jimmy, and Sheen saw the night the parents were taken, tearfully laments wishing for their parents to go away.
