 * [Opening credits. Caption: Made from 100% recycled pixels]
 * [After the standard opening cartoon is aired and the producer credits roll, the screen displays a caption reading "FREE BEER" with an arrow pointing down. The Futurama theme abruptly stops playing. The ship stops in front of the screen.]

Bender: Free beer?!
 * [Scene: Inside the Planet Express ship. Bender seizes control of the ship from Leela. The Futurama theme resumes. He crashes the ship into the screen.]

Bender: Free beer! Free beer! Free beer! Free beer! Free beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beeeer! ''[He jumps out the window. As he falls, he hits a flock of geese and Cowardman. He hits a tube transport system, causing it to break and people to fly out. He lands on the ground, creating an imprint of his body. He gets up and sees iZac pouring out beer for people.]'' Hello. I'm hear for the...free beer? iZac: You got it! Right after these eight-hundred people get! [He points to a long line of people.]


 * [Scene: Morbo is seated on a chair against a blue curtain backdrop, holding a pair of glasses. On his table is a microphone and a set of cards.]

Morbo: We have a crowded field of candidates, so I will dispense with the informal terrorising and begin the questions.
 * [He puts on the glasses and holds up a card.]
 * [Cut to: An audience. Leela is sitting amongst them. She leans toward the man sitting next to her.]

Leela: Is this the political process? 'Cause I'm here to get involved in it.
 * [A larger view of the scene is shown. Seven people are standing on a stage with their own respective podiums. A large Earthican flag hangs on a wall.]

Morbo: Silence! [He sits down and starts reading from a card.] Question one. Will you pledge today to somehow reduce taxes while simultaneously lowering the deficit. Candidate 1: Hey, that's a good idea! Sure.
 * [The camera pans over to each of the candidates.]

Candidate 2: If it'll win me the election, then yes. Candidate 3: We have a saying up in Alaska. [She pauses.] That's all.
 * [The camera pans over to the fourth candidate, who is silent and thinking.]

Morbo: Senator Travers? Senator Travers: Look, let's be honest here. No one likes taxes. But they pay for our basic needs. Roads, schools, defence. If we hope to realise our aspirations as a great planet, we must each pay our fair share to achieve those noble goals.
 * [Cut to: The audience. They all lean forward and boo, except for Leela, who stands up and claps slowly. They quiet down, leaving Leela left standing and clapping alone. She makes an angry face and sits down, crossing her arms.]

Morbo: Thank you, Senator. A thoughtful and lucid answer. [angrily] You will be destroyed!
