Our special guest is here.
Everyone straighten your desks.
Children, I would like to introduce
Willard's new head of security
at Zomcon,
who is not only a decorated hero of
the Zombie Wars,
but is also Zomcon's
official safety expert.
Mr. Bottoms is the father
of our newest,
and I suspect our brightest student, Cindy.
Well, good afternoon,
boys and girls.
So how many of you have ever had
to kill a zombie?
Ooh. Not too many,
and that's the way I'd like to keep it.
My job at Zomcon is to make things safe
for young people just like you.
And that's why I'm building
a taller fence,
and there are going to be
new safety vans patrolling our streets.
And we're going to take
everybody's picture
just in case one of you
gets lost.
So what do you think of that?
Children, does anyone
have a question for Mr. Bottoms?
Yes, Roy.
Stan and me--
I mean, me and Stan,
have been Zomcon Cadets
for two years, sir.
We think Zomcon's great.
That's terrific. Thank you.
Does anyone have
an actual question?
Timmy Robinson has a question.
Timmy, go on.
Ask a good question.
Are zombies dead or alive?
- What a stupid question.
- Really stupid.
No, no, no.
There's no such thing as a stupid question.
The truth is, to some people,
zombies might seem human.
But make no mistake,
these creatures have
only one goal,
and that is to eat your flesh.
So without Zomcon,
we'd all be dead.
And then where would we be?
So does that answer
your question, Timmy?
I guess.
You guess?
Well, this isn't a world
where we guess, young man.
You either know
something or you don't.
I was just thinking
about the zombies
who were buried too deep
to get out of their coffins.
Well, that's impossible.
We always bury the heads separately.
I mean people buried
before the space dust.
Couldn't some of them
still be in the graveyard right now,
trying to claw their way out?
Well, children, look at that.
It's time for outdoor education.
Let's show Mr. Bottoms
how good we are, hmm?
