Transcript:Rebirth


 * [The Hypnotoad is shown on screen.]

Bender: [voice over] On the count of three, you will awaken feeling refreshed, as if Futurama had never been cancelled by idiots, then brought back by bigger idiots. 1... 2... [snaps fingers].
 * [or in some reruns]

Bender: [voice over] This has been a test of the Emergency Hypnotoad System. Had this been an actual hypnosis, you would go limp and watch whatever crap comes on next. Comin' up next: Futurama! [snaps fingers]
 * [Scene: Exterior shot of Planet Express]
 * ''[Scene: Interior shot of Professor Farnsworth's laboratory. The Professor looks as if he's working on some sort of experiment. He catches a fly with some tweezers and drops it in a test tube to burn it. Fry comes in with his hair looking like an afro just like in "Hell is Other Robots".]

Fry: Professor, my Fry-fro's all frizzy. Farnsworth: OK. Fry: That's all. [slicks his hair back to normal] [pause] Oh, also; I'm covered with severe burns. Farnsworth: So!? What of it? Fry: Well, why is– those things?
 * [Farnsworth gasps.]

Farnsworth: You mean you don't remember? Fry: Nope, nothing. It's like when I passed out in college, except no one drew magic marker penises on my forehead.
 * [Farnsworth sighs.]

Farnsworth: Well, I suppose it's for the best, considering the unbearable horrors you've endured. Lets never speak of it again. [time lapse] It all began a few days ago. We were interstellar fugitives on the run from the law.
 * [Flashback: On the Nimbus.]

Zapp: Fire all weapons and open a hailing frequency for my victory yodel.
 * [Cut to Planet Express ship. Laser shots.  The crew shouts and screams.  Zapp begins yodelling.  Kif sighs in the same manner as Zapp.]

Farnsworth: [voice over; flashback] And so, as you and Leela kissed goodbye in a tender display of toungesmanship, we plunged into a massive wormhole. Never to be seen again.
 * [The ship flies through the wormhole, arriving near Earth.]

Bender: Yeah, we're back.


 * [The crew cheers.]

Hermes: Sweet coincidence of Port-au-Prince, we're back at Earth! Farnsworth: Of course, that was the Panama Wormhole, Earth's central channel for shipping!
 * [Zoidberg laughs.]

Zoidberg: How humorous. Farnsworth: Yes! It's sort of a Comedy Central channel, and we're on it now! Amy: I get it!
 * [Scene: Exterior shot of the Planet Express ship, the Nimbus crawls up upon them and shoots and hits them.]
 * [Cut to interior Planet Express ship.]

Fry: We've lost power to the forward Game Boy, Mario not responding! Leela: Brace for emergency landing! Farnsworth: Rodger that, activate Safety Spheres! ''[The crew activates their safety spheres, which only covers their heads. Except for Farnsworth's, which covers his entire being.]'' Also mine has air conditioning.
 * [Scene: Planet Express Headquarters exterior shot. The hangar door opens.  The Planet Express ship crashes into the road next to it.  Zapp is still yodelling.  The Nimbus crashes into the Planet Express ship.]
 * [Flashback ends.]

Farnsworth: Yet, thanks to my trusty safety sphere, I surblibed with only tribial bray dablage. Fry: And the others? Farnsworth: Right here behind this horror cloth. Fry: Are they dead? Farnsworth: Oh, no no no, much worse.
 * [Farnsworth draws the horror shield away revealing the heads of the crew, Kif, LaBarbara and Zapp attached to their skeletons hanging by wires. Fry screams.]
 * [Opening credits.]
 * [Scene: Fry looks at the birthing machine while the crew's dead bodies hang on the wires over the machine]

Farnsworth: Move over God! Prepare for rebirth! [He pulls a lever and a ray electrocutes him] Wrong switch. [He switches on a normal light switch] Farnsworth: Come on, stem cells. Work your astounding scientific nonsense!
 * [The dead bodies drop themselves in the machine stem cells]

Fry: Fetal steam cells? Aren't those controversial? Farnsworth: In your time yes, but nowadays, shut up! Besides, these are adult stem cells harvested from perfectly healthy adults, whom I killed for their stem cells.
 * [A head gets out from a hole. Farnsworth takes the full body out with some tweezers. The body is revealed to be Hermes]

Fry: Hermes Conrad! Hermes: [He cries like a baby until Farnsworth slaps his butt] Oh, mon! I'm dripping with placenta! Good thing it's Casual Friday.
 * [Amy gets out]

Fry: Amy Wong! Amy: Oh, baby soft! Farnsworth: [He slaps her butt] Indeed.
 * [Dr. Zoidberg gets out]

Hermes: Dr. Zoidberg! Zoidberg: Hermes, my friend! Let me cut off your umbilical cord. [He cuts off something of Hermes] Oops.
 * [Scruffy, LaBarbara and Kif get out]

Fry: And the rest! Amy: Hooray, we're back in business! Zapp: Over my dead body. [The camera zooms out, revealing his body didn't fall, thus it still being a skeleton] Uh, never mind.
 * [The hole of the machine is moving]

Fry: [Looking inside] Bender! Are the steam cells working? [Bender's antennae gets out and pokes Fry's eye] Bender: [He gets out and speaks with a weak voice] I'm dying. I need mouth to ass resuscitation. Fry: I'm on it! [Fry leans down and blows air in Bender's ass offscreen] It's not working! Bender: [laughs] I die happy knowing you fell for that. Farnsworth: His power supply is shot! He is flatlining! [He goes to a shelf full of doomsday devices] Only one thing can keep him alive. ''[He breaks the glass and takes a doomsday device. He goes back to Bender]'' Possibly this thing. ''[He turns the device on and puts in inside Bender's chest cabinet. The liquid covering Bender melts and he gets up]'' Bender: Woo! I've never felt so energetic! [He dances] Farnsworth: That's because the doomsday device I shoved all up in you puts out 50 gigawatts. That's ten times your recommended-- Bender: Who are you? My warranty? ''[He laughs and sits down. An orange light appears in his body]'' Farnsworth: For God's sake, Bender! Keep dancing, keep whooping it up! [Bender dances and the light turns off] You must burn off the doomsday energy as fast as it produces, or it will build to critical levels. Bender: You don't mean... Farnsworth: Oh, but I do. If you stop partying for a single second, you'll explode and kill everyone here in a fireball of melting gears and splattered bowels. Bender: Sounds like a party, baby! [He dances] Fry: Hey! Speaking of splattered bowels, can I cook you a romantic dinner tonight, Leela?... Where's Leela? [Leela gets out of the machine] Is she okay? Why hasn't she acknowledged my dinner offer? Farnsworth: Something's wrong! She's not responding to my poking stick. [He pokes her with a stick] Fry: Poke harder, damn it! Farnsworth: I'm poking as hard as I can! I'm sorry, Fry, [He takes out a device] but I'm afraid Leela is in an irreversible coma.
 * [Fry is worried]

Bender: [Dancing and singing] Coma, coma, coma, coma, coma, chameleon!
 * [Scene: Robot Arms Apts]
 * [Cut to: Fry is with two Lego figures of himself and Leela]

Fry: My soul mate is gone. Why should I go on living? Bender: Because the pain slowly fades but the love is forever. [He is still dancing] Fry: But, what if I forget the sweet sound of her voice or the moist touch of her eyeball on my lips? Bender: Aw! Are you still in love with Whatshername? Move on already! Fry: Maybe you're right. Bender: Maybe I'm always right.
 * [Montage: Fry walks sadly on the street and sees a café called "Starbabe's Cocoffee", with a cyclops as logo. Then he sees a movie theatre which is now showing a movie called "That Darn Cyclops".]
 * [End montage: Fry now sees a shop called "Build-A-Bot Workshop" ("for ages 8 to 9").]

Fry: Build-A-Bot Workshop? It's time to start living again!
 * [Cut to: Inside the shop. Two kids and their mothers are seeing the robot pieces. Some signs say "Build me" and "Add a soul: $5.99". Fry is filling a robot body with wires at the "wiring station", which is a big ball with spinning wires. When he finishes, he inserts the head, which has some purple wires on the top as a horsetail.]

Fry: At least it's something to distract me from Leela. [He adds two eyes] Nah. [One of the eyes falls] Now that I like for some reason.
 * [Scene: Outside Planet Express. The rest of the Nimbus is left there in the giant explosion hole while Scruffy cleans up with a broomstick.]
 * [Cut to: Planet Express conference room. Fry is hugging Robot Leela.]

Robot Leela: [girl voice] I like jellybeans. Do you? Fry: I sure do, honey. Farnsworth: Come now, Fry! You can't live out this sick fantasy! Not without our help. Hermes: These security tapes record everything at Planet Express. Including the ship, shower, and urinals. Amy: And yet, it still hasn't stopped the elusive bathroom burglar. Zoidberg: [with toilet paper in his mouth] Maybe he's just trying to feed his family. [ate the toilet paper] Hermes: Computer, analyze tapes and extract personality from one Turanga Leela.
 * [the computer screen shows four screens fast forwarding through many different security tapes featuring Leela]

Computer: Analyzing...analyzing...Checking my eBay bid. [the upper left screen flashes a message saying "Sorry, you've been outbid!"] Dammit. Analysis complete.
 * [a plug comes out of the computer and Hermes attaches it to the robot]

Fry: Hey, I was nuzzling that!
 * [the robot slowly morphs into an almost exact duplicate of Leela only without her wristlojackimator]

Computer: Attributes transferred...Shoe size 12...etc.
 * [Hermes takes the plug out of the impostor, who suddenly gets her arms outstretched as if she's holding onto a steering wheel]

Robot Leela: Brace for emergency landing! What? We survived the crash? Oh, Fry! [kisses him] Bender: Party people in the house say, [gasps dramatically] Robot Leela: This is wonderful! The last thing I remember I was dying in an explosion. Yet here I am in the flesh more alive than ever! Fry: Alive? Hermes: You better tell her, Fry. Robot Leela: Tell me what? Hermes: Anyway, my work here is done. I'm gonna go hit the showers.
 * [Nibbler goes over to the faux Leela and smells something suspicious]

Robot Leela: Nibbler, come give mama a hug! [he bites her] What the—?! Bad Nibbler! Bad Nibbler! [she shakes him off and he takes a piece of flesh from her body] What are you doing, pooperdoodle? It's me, Leela.
