- [Opening Credits.]
- [Title Screen: "The Transcredible Exploits of Zapp Brannigan - Brought to You by Bartley's Rocket Wax"]
Transition Announcer: And now, The Transcredible Exploits of Zapp Brannigan! Brought to you by Bartley's Rocket Wax.
Zapp: [coming out of the Bartley's Rocket Wax logo] I wax my rocket every day.
- [Scene: A crummy looking black and white old sci-fi scene of a cardboard version of the Planet Express Ship being chased by an even crummier looking cardboard version of the Nimbus.]
- [Scene: Interior shot of the fake Planet Express ship, where an actress playing Leela, an actor playing Fry, and an actor playing Bender, are held captive by an Asian villain.]
Emperor Chop Chop: No one can save you now, Leela.
Leela Actress: Well, what about Zapp Brannigan?
Emperor Chop Chop: Well, obviously, Zapp Brannigan can save you, but— [the door opens and Zapp, portraying himself, walks in] Zapp Brannigan!
Zapp: So, Emperor Chop Chop, once again we meet at last! Drop that space gun or I'll shoot! Like so! [shoots the villain and unties the actress portraying Leela]
Leela Actress: Oh, Zapp! Tie me back up and ravish me!
Zapp: I'd like to, Leela. So I will.
- [Zapp kisses the actress passionately.]
- [Scene: Interior shot of the Lovenasium. Zapp is seen in his bed caressing his pillow until Kif approaches him.]
Zapp: Ooh, yeah, shake it, baby. Shake it like— [Kif taps him and he wakes up] I surrender and volunteer for treason!
Kif: [saluting] Emergency summons from the President, captain.
Zapp: Oh, it's you. Just let me freshen up. [gets out of bed] Computer, captain's musk.
- [A mechanical arm carrying perfume drops the ceiling. Nothing happens. Kif moans and sprays the musk onto Zapp.]
- [Scene: Exterior shot of the White House at night. The camera pans down to a tube with an elevator underground that leads to an identical White House.]
- [Scene: Interior shot of the elevator. Zapp and Kif exit and walk down a long hallway.]
Zapp: The long dramatic corridor. That's never a good sign.
- [Zapp puts his glove onto a scanner.]
Scanner: Glove recognized. Proceed, Mrs. Eisenhower.
[The doors open to reveal President Richard Nixon's Head with a secret service agent in a meeting room with a huge monitor. Zapp and Kif enter saluting.]
<poem>Zapp: Mr. President, what the hell?
Nixon: At ease, Brannigan.
- [Zapp stops pushing in his big gut.]
Nixon: What you're about to see is highly classified. Reptillicus, hit the thingy.
- [Kif goes to a chair with a machine and activates it, which powers on the monitor showing an orange planet being attacked.]
Nixon: [with a laser pointer in his mechanical hand] At 0000 hours, Planet XXX was attacked by a mysterious death sphere. [points to the death sphere]
Zapp: [pointing to the death sphere with another laser pointer] Magnify that death sphere. [the image is magnified] Why's it still blurry?
Kif: That's all the resolution we have. Making it bigger doesn't make it clearer.
Zapp: It does on CSI: Miami.
- [Kif moans]
Nixon: They fought back with advance military hardware, but it was like shooting BB's at Bebe Rebozo.
Zapp: That poor brave hardware.
Nixon: The sphere then fired some kind of hellish blackout ray. Erased that planet like eighteen minutes of incriminating tape.
Zapp: Oh, I just wish I understood why. Why I should care.
Nixon: Because the death sphere is now on course for Earth! Rowrowooooooo!!
- [The monitor shows the Solar System and the death sphere's destination.]
Zapp: My god, we're defenseless. Like fish in a barrel.
Nixon: Options?
Zapp: My instinct is to hide in this barrel. [camera cuts to reveal Zapp doing so] Like the wily fish.
Nixon: [sighs] Then we're down to our last hope. A radical new weapon built by a visionary scientist I once dismissed as crazy.
- [Scene: Exterior shot of Planet Express building. We can hear Farnsworth laughing like a madman.]
- [Scene: Interior shot of laboratory and closeup of Farnsworth doing so.]
Farnsworth: Let's see how crazy I am now, Nixon! [camera zooms out to reveal he is actually speaking to Nixon and the entire Planet Express crew] The correct answer is: very.
Nixon: Alright, Professor. Sock it to me!
Farnsworth: Top secret news, everyone! I've developed a tiny one-man stealth fighter that's virtually undetectable.
Zapp: [coming out of a barrel] How undetectable?
Farnsworth: It's right in front of you.
Zapp: [walking toward a semmingly empty space] I find that—OW! [bumps into something]—to believe.
- [Farnsworth hits a button revealing the now visible ship as everyone looks in amazement.]
Bender: But how exactly is this Happy Meal toy gonna destroy a giant death sphere?
Farnsworth: From within. This ship should be able to sneak undetected through the sphere's one vulnerable opening.
Hermes: What vulnerable opening?
Farnsworth: All death spheres have one vulnerable opening.
Zoidberg: Well, sure, but who's brave enough to fly into something we all keep calling a "death sphere"?
NIxon: I say Brannigan.
Zapp: [saluting] I say no.
Leela: I say me.
Nixon: I say Leela.
Leela: I say yes.
Fry: I say no.
Zapp: I say Leela, too.
Leela: I say yes again.
Zapp: I say I shall join her.
Leela: But it's only a one-man craft...I say.
Zapp: There'll only be one man. Me. How would you feel if I rode rear as your personal tail gunner?
Leela: Creeped out.
Zapp: Then it's decided.
- [Scene: The next day. Close up on a sign that reads "Cape Knievel Flight Test Center. The camera pans down to reveal a plane resembling the old toy wooden airplanes and a Da Vinci style flying machine flying by. On the ground is the entire Planet Express ship crew with Zapp, Kif and Nixon's head around the ship.]
Leela: [stepping into the ship] Are you sure I have to sit in your lap?
Zapp: It'll help us achieve maximum thrust.
- [Leela and Kif moan.]
Fry: [giving Leela a bag of trail mix] I made you some trail mix for the flight. [Leela takes it as Fry picks up a huge painting of himself in a robe smoking a pipe] Also this picture to remember me by.
Leela: You hold on to it. [kisses him] I'll be back soon.
Farnsworth: [scoffs] Activate stealth shielding.
- [Farnsworth hits a button and the ship becomes invisible while Leela and Zapp remain visible.]
Leela: Liftoff!
Zapp: I'll rodger that.
- [They take off as everyone watches.]
Fry: Did anyone else feel aroused and jealous and worried?
Bender: I haven't felt much of anything since my guinea pig died.
- [Scene: Outer space. The ship takes off with Leela and Zapp. Leela presses a few buttons.]
Leela: Death sphere in range. Engaging holographic targeting. [presses a button and a hologram of the sphere comes up] Activating the Force.
- [presses a button that shows the where the vulnerable opening is]
The Force: [a la Obi-Wan Kenobi] Feel the entrance, Leela. Destination on your left in... [monotone] zero point three [regular voice] miles.
- [the ship flies down and across the death sphere, which is equipped with many satellite dishes, cameras, and cell towers]
Zapp: Zapp to Leela: look at all that surveillance equipment.
Leela: [whispering] We better whisper.
Zapp: Switching to pillow talk mode.
- [They fly over giant letters.]
Leela: Look. What are those huge letters?
- [The camera cuts to reveal that the letters spell out the word "V-GINY".]
Zapp: "V-Giny?" Doesn't ring a bell.
- [Cut to: Telescope view of the death sphere.]
Farnsworth (v.o.): Hmmm....
- [Scene: Planet Express meeting room. Farnsworth is looking through the giant telescope.]
Farnsworth: I don't like the looks of this "V-Giny." Does anyone recognize those call letters?
- [Hermes searches through different ship designs on the holographic projector.]
Hermes: Nope. It's not in the Janeway's Guide either.
Farnsworth: Deciphering that ID code is critical. I'll be in the Chamber of Understanding.
- [A glass dome is lowered over Farnsworth. A small disco ball is lowered from that. We hear muffled disco music coming from the chamber as the Professor taps his foot to the boogie beat.]
- [Scene: The death sphere. Zapp and Leela approach the entrance.]
Leela: This is it! The moment we should've trained for!
- [Leela pushes the control stick forward. When they get into the vulnerable opening, they are surrounded by black goo as well as many televisions showing such programs as √2 News, Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, a Slurm commercial, a Torgo's Executive Powder commercial, and All My Circuits. In the center of the sphere, a machine is firing black goop at some television screens including one showing "All My Circuits" and one showing a Slurm commercial.]
Leela: Holy cr—
- [Before Leela can finish the phrase, the death sphere detects their presence and shoots.]
Zapp: Incoming yucky!
Leela: Firing pocket rocket!
- [Leela pushes a button on the invisible control stick, which launches a rocket from the bottom. The rocket gets into the black goop, bubbles and disappears.]
Zapp: Don't panic, Leela! Go go go go go!
- [They fly away as fast as they can from the second black goop attack.]
