S1	Ego Trip	December 10, 1999
An army of robots comes out of Dexter's time machine, under orders to "destroy the one who saves the future." Believing them to mean him, Dexter travels to the future in order to see this event happen. He is horrified to find himself a wimpy young man, who works designing office cubicles for Mandark, his boss. Dexter convinces his older self that he is a genius who will one day save the future, and they travel to a later time together. Although they arrive in a scientific utopia, they find that the Dexter in this period is a doddering old man who can barely remember anything he has ever done. Backing up a few years, the three Dexters discover the world has fallen into ruin, and the inhabitants are extremely stupid. The Dexter in this time is a muscular hero, who reveals that Mandark stole his most prized invention, the Neurotomic Protocore (which D22 left in his cubicle). However, Mandark did not use the core correctly and reversed its energies, causing the widespread stupidity and allowing him to forbid technology to all but himself. All four of them team up to bring down Mandark, using the laboratory to build a large robot to storm Mandark's castle. When they arrive to confront Mandark, he summons his counterparts from the time period of each Dexter. At the climax of the battle, Dee Dee appears from the time machine and is revealed to be the one who saves the future (due to her curiosity about buttons). In a jealous rage, the Dexters build and send back through time an army of robots to destroy her — the very same seen at the beginning of the film. As the original Dexter returns to his own time and sees himself fighting with the robots, he realizes he has completed the cycle of events. However, tired of the whole ordeal, he decides to forget it and have a snack.

Immediately the bad halves start cursing at each other and wrecking up Dexter's lab before going to eat lunch. They continue to curse and act rudely until their good sides wake up. The good sides trap their rude counterparts in the lab, and exit the lab into Dexter's room to find their mother with a bar of soap, presumably to wash out her kids' mouths with.
