=== Film to Episode Edits ===<br />
[[File:Into the Wild Green Yonder Part 3 Leela recap.png|right|thumb|Leela introduces the [[List of recaps|recap]]]]<br />
In order to make this quarter of the film fit into an episode's timeslot, some transitional shots were shortened slightly, and some other larger cuts have occurred.<br />
*After the start of the introduction and a new caption, the camera zooms into the ship where Leela says "previously on ''[[Futurama]]''" the camera then zooms further, hitting her in the eye before the recap begins.<br />
*Bender's explanation is missing "It's 'cause Leela's a threat. A threat to my reputation.".<br />
*Bender's exchange with Kif regarding how he intends to wire tap Leela is removed. As a result so is the first line of the next scene, where Fry is referred to as the weakness.<br />
*Fry doesn't try to defend himself to Amy in relation to working with her dad.<br />
*Amy doesn't curse in Cantonese after Leo says he wanted a son.<br />
**Soon after, she doesn't say "Why don't you just adopt Fry and make him the son you never had? That'll replace the daughter you don't have anymore!"<br />
*Zoidberg's line "The feministas, probably" is gone as are a few of circles the van makes around the Planet Express ship.<br />
**The takeover of the ship ends after Labarbara's line, rather than having Leela announce it and Zoidberg try to prevent it.<br />
*Frida's first line of the episode doesn't begin with "hmm".<br />
*The Dark One doesn't taunt Frida by asking "where are [her] crappy rhymes now", therefore her last one, which would have followed this, is missing.<br />
*"These evil creatures preyed on all life, driving species after species to extinction." is not said by Nine about the dark ones.<br />
*After locking up her husband and his friends, Labarbara doesn't start her next line with "There!"<br />
*Nine doesn't say "Imagine, all the animals that failed evolution's test, alive again! The dodo bird, the brittle-klutz, the [[striped biologist-taunter]]."<br />
*Linda and Labarbara's lines after Fry is captured are removed<br />
*The episode ends with Bender talking to the camera, but he is interrupted by the [[Transition Announcer]] saying "Tune in next time on Futurama!".<br />

"'''Six Characters in Search of a Story'''" is the fourteenth [[comic]] issue, which was released 23 July, 2003 in the US. <!-- insert brief plot summary here --><br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.<br />
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.<br />
--><br />
:''This comic can be read as a whole or from the perspective of either Fry, Bender, Hermes, Leela, Amy or Zoidberg. This article focuses on the whole of the story.''<br />
<br />
=== Act I ===<br />
[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] announces his latest invention (this comic) and explains how it works before falling to sleep. Unfortunately for [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]], this means that the meeting will have to be delayed until the Professor wakes up. The rest of the staff head off to the Professor's secret room. They discover that it's full of incomplete inventions, everyone finds something to look at but no one thinks [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s repeater is very good, he dismisses it to find something better. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] has a copying machine, Hermes an invisibility ray, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] a matter transporter, [[Amy Wong|Amy]] a Hologramophone (creates 3D image of anywhere in the universe) and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] a Mr Microphone. Fry wants Bender to copy the microphone, he refuses. Hermes discovers that none of the devices are tested, and are probably dangerous. Amy proves her device works by showing a hologram of the professor, who says something about it shredding the fabric of space-time. Zoidberg switches his device for a reverse camera (Reality Generator). Fry takes the microphone and he and the others leave the room, meanwhile Zoidberg successfully creates a sandwich from a photo with his device. The microphone is in fact a device to stop time, after brief use he removes and drops a battery, whilst Bender begins copying himself. Copies are now with all staff members. The battery is leaking some sort of goo. Hermes' Bender accidentally fires the invisibility ray, which reflects off a disco ball and hits, among other things, Amy's Bender's head, the time microphone, the copier (which is now producing invisible Benders) and Hermes. Leela uses the transporter on herself. Amy spots [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] in a compromising position.<br />
<br />
=== Act II ===<br />
The goo continues to expand, the Benders fight among themselves, Leela has become distorted, Amy pulls a tiny Kif from the hologram, tearing space-time, and Zoidberg creates a pig-chicken-fish. The group go to the professor for help. He refuses to help despite the huge mess, including Zoidberg's creature, which has reproduced. Kif comes up with a plan, which uses the various pieces of technology to suck up all the damage and extra life forms into the hole and revert the damage. Everything returns to normal and the Professor promises to create more new ways to read comics.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
<!-- Add any trivia here, in bullet-list form. --><br />
*This is the first comic to break the fourth wall, this also occurs in [[Bender Breaks Out|US#020]], [[Follow the Reader|US#046]] and [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
*The comic is readable in seven ways, another subplot involving [[Scruffy]] failed to eventuate.<br />
*It seems that the comic is an attempt at the style of episode seen in "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]", except crammed into less space.<br />
*This comic's title is spoofed off of the play title "Six Characters in Search of an Author."<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[After everyone else excused themselves to wash their hair.]'' I... go... hair... whatever.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You know, with your torso on backwards you're gonna be a lot more popular during the slow dances.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Fast Forward ===<br />
*Bongo promises, through the Professor, to experiment with other methods for reading comics. The promise was fulfilled in [[Bender Breaks Out|US#020]].<br />
*An episode in [[Season 6]] called "[[Benderama]]" will feature a similar copying machine which is also used to duplicate Bender.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*In most of his frames, Kif is missing his sleeves. We could assume it is a slightly different uniform if it weren't for one sleeve's appearance in one frame.<br />
*When the characters are leaving the secret room, if the comic is read in its entirety, the departures of Fry, Bender and Hermes overlap. It is particularly noticeable as Bender places the copier in the doorway (1st Bender departure) before Hermes walks through the doorway and Fry re-exits, the copier is still there on Bender's second exiting frame.<br />
*After the transformation is complete, in the next frame she appears, Leela has boots on both her hands and feet.<br />

"'''Amazon Women in the Mood'''" is the thirty-third episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the first of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the fifth of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 4 February, 2001 on FOX. It guest stars [[Beatrice Arthur]] as the [[Femputer]]. After [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] has shown his affection for [[Amy Wong|Amy]], [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] arranges a double half-date with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and Kif and Amy. However, their restaurant crashes into [[Planet Amazonia|a planet]], and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] discover they have been captured by a bunch of [[Amazonians]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Little Nibbler's been coughing up hairballs!" ===<br />
During a vote in the [[Planet Express Headquarters|Planet Express Confrence Room]], [[Zoidberg]] is mysteriously silent. [[Fry]] declares, "[[He's dead]]," but Zoidberg then enters the room, revealing that the "corpse" was in fact Zoidberg's shell, which he molted after having outgrown it. He picks up the shell and takes it to the dumpster behind the Planet Express Building. <br />
<br />
After he leaves, [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s cell-phone rings. She answers, only to hear incomprehensible gasping and mumbling, then the caller hangs up. The person on the other end is revealed to be [[Kif Kroker|Lieutenant Kroker]], who has been infatuated with Amy since the incident aboard the [[Titanic]] ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]]). After revealing this to [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]], Zapp realizes that Amy knows [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], whom he is constantly trying to seduce. Zapp contacts Leela and, after a negotiation, sets up half a double-date.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Sir, I don't go out on many dates." ===<br />
For the date, they all go to [[Le Palm D'Orbit]], a space-based restaurant with Karaoke. Zapp gives Kif his book of pickup lines, which Kif then reads to Amy attempting to impress her. Unfortunately, lines such as "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies," causes the women to be disgusted and Leela to proclaim the date over. After a brief trip to the bathroom to fix their makeup, they begin storming out but are stopped by Kif's emotional Karaoke performance. Kif's performance, however, is interrupted by Zapp's horrible, spoken-word rendition of "Lola" in which he's replaced the name Lola with Leela.<br />
<br />
All the patrons of the restaurant flee Zapp's "singing" in the escape pods. Leela tells Zapp to call them a space-taxi, but he declines, opting instead to fly the restaurant himself despite the objection of Kif. Shortly thereafter, he crashes the ship onto [[Planet Amazonia]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Where are all the men in your society?" ===<br />
Back at [[Planet Express]], Zoidberg tries on some shells from his new catalogue. However, his stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans offends [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], who is a Mexican ("Hecho en México"). Zoidberg tries another shell (a breezy summer number), but Hermes informs him that the Planet Express health plan only covers one kind of replacement shell: A plain white one with a bar code across the front.<br />
<br />
Fry is worried that Leela and Amy haven't returned from their half-date, but when he attempts to call the restaurant, he is informed that it has crashed into a planet. He and Bender set off to rescue the se&ntilde;oritas.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Leela is wondering what planet they're on, when Zapp claims the sector is uncharted (Though Kif says he lost the chart). The ground begins to pound, and the four hide behind the Karaoke machine. Three [[Amazonians]] emerge from the jungle, and although they assume there's nobody around, Zapp reveals himself before they can leave. Zapp is cut off before he can finish his pickup line, and the four are dragged off into the jungle.<br />
<br />
Fry and Bender land on the planet and find the prisoners being led by a chain. Before they can formulate a plan, they are discovered and captured. The women are set free while the men are kept prisoner. After a short tour of the village, they are taken to the leader of Amazonian society, who will decide their fate. The leader is a [[femputer]] who hates men. The Femputer takes her leave to decide the men's fate.<br />
<br />
The men are chained to the wall of the chamber. The Amazonians ask what men are used for on Earth, and Amy informs them. The Amazonians call this act "snoo-snoo", and reveal that the last men who visited Amazonia died of crushed pelvises. The Fem-puter returns and sentences the men to death&#8230; by ''snoo-snoo''.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Death by snoo-snoo!" ===<br />
Leela makes an appeal for her friends, but the Femputer is angered by the knowledge that the men made fun of their basketball team. Bender, however, is released on the basis that he's a man''bot'', not a man.<br />
<br />
Zapp is sentenced to be snoo-snoo'd by the large women; Fry by the petite women; Kif, being the most attractive, by the most beautiful women, followed by the large women, then the petite women, then the large women again. Before the punishment commences, Kif reveals that the things he said on the date were Zapp's idea, and that he was the one calling and hanging up. He tells Amy that he loves her.<br />
<br />
The men are taken into the snoo-snoo chambers, and Leela tells Bender to interface with the Femputer to rescue the men from their fate.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "Where go beautiful man? Me want snu-snu!" ===<br />
Bender sneaks past the guards, who are engaged in a debate about which of them is fat. While overriding the CPU with a lead pipe, a panel on the Fem-puter falls open, revealing that there is a [[fembot]] operating the Femputer. The fembot tells Bender that she disguised herself to rule the Amazonians, because of her oppression on her homeworld, which was ruled by a manputer that was really a manbot.<br />
<br />
In the snoo-snoo chambers, the punishment continues, and Leela decides that Bender is taking too long. She fruitlessly attacks each Amazonian, but one of them grabs her, throws her down, and sits on her. Amy, meanwhile, has disguised herself to infiltrate the snoo-snoo chamber containing Kif, and absconds with him. However, she is cornered in the Femputer chamber, where the Femputer orders the Amazonians to release all the prisoners (and demands gold, somehow in Bender's voice).<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Zoidberg has found a new shell. This one looks just like his old one, and he found it in the same dumpster. This one had a racoon inside, though. Fry and Zapp are in pelvic casts, apparently having suffered at least partially crushed pelvises. Kif probably avoided this fate due to the fact that his kind don't have bones. Kif asks Amy what she'd like to do, and she whispers something in his ear. His response is flustered, incomprehensible mumbling.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Sign at Le Palm D'Orbit lobby reads "Palm D'Orbit Coat Check 25 cent Surcharge Each Sleeve Over 9". The centipede walking away from the coat check has 14 sleeves on his shirt, but may have more on his coat. This means he paid at least $1.25 extra on his coat check.<br />
*Le Palm D'Orbit is likely a reference to ''{{w|The_Palm_(restaurant)|The Palm Restaurant}}'', a New York City based chain of fine dining steakhouses known for high prices. It is also a reference to the ''{{w|Palme_d'Or|Palme d'Or}}'', the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival.<br />
*Kif has a bouquet of daffodils, maintaining the daffodil's lead of most popular Futurama flower.<br />
*Zapp's spoken-word performance of 'Leela' is a reference to William Shatner's spoken-word versions of many popular songs, most notably Rocketman, as well as many original songs. <br />
*Zapp also refers to himself as the Velour Fog, a play on Mel Torme's nickname, the Velvet Fog.<br />
*[[List of song performances|Songs performed]] on the Karaoke:<br />
** ''{{w|Funky Town}}'' by ''Lipps Inc.'' performed by [[Morbo]].<br />
** ''{{w|Total Eclipse of the Heart}}'' by ''Bonnie Tyler'' performed by Kif.<br />
** Zapp's version of ''{{w|Lola (song)|Lola}}'' by ''the Kinks''.<br />
<br />
*The drooping items on the table back at Planet Express are reminiscent of Salvador Dali artwork.<br />
*The ridicule of women leaders is reminisent of the sexism of Leela's judo master. <br />
*Fembot speaks over a [[Sonya loudspeaker]]. ''Sonya'', a variation of {{w|Sonia (name)|the name ''Sonia''}}, is used as a play on ''{{w|Sony}}'' and ''{{w|Sanyo}}''.<br />
*Fembot's story is an obvious take-off on the Wizard in the the Wizard of Oz.<br />
*When Leela looks into the ripples in the pond caused by vibrations, her reflection momentarily gives her the appearance of a two eyed human. This could possibly be an instance of foreshadowing of "[[The Cyber House Rules]]".<br />
*This is the #1 episode on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p3.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*Even though Amy's parents introduced Amy to Kif and encouraged her to date him, they never seemed to accept him in later on episodes. This may be because he presumably lost his title as captain after the crash of the [[Titanic]].<br />
*Zapp's line "She is built like a steakhouse, but handles like a bistro" may be a reference to starship Bistromath from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.<br />
**More likely its just a comparison of reletive sizes. A steakhouse is generally bigger and bulkier while a bistro is typically smaller and more intimate.<br />
*Although Fry was fired by the end of the previous episode ("[[The Cryonic Woman]]"), he is back working at Planet Express in this episode without any explanation given.<br />
**The Professor had already forgotten why he fired Fry by the end of that episode. His senility probably caused him to hire Fry again.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Kif tells Zapp that he is in love with a girl, then Zapp says that Amy knows Leela when Kif didn't tell him that it was Amy.<br />
**He may have guessed that it was Amy because of the newspaper picture of Amy and Leela together.<br />
**That and he would see that they were talking on the videophone.<br />
**And that the walls of Kif's cubicle are covered with pictures of Amy.<br />
*Amy puts lipstick on before Kif's Karaoke performance, but after Zapp's performance, her lipstick is gone.<br />
*When Leela is looking at her two-eyed reflection in the puddle, the rip in her tank top is on the wrong side.<br />
*At the end when Bender says "If she calls, I'm not here," his chest cabinet is open but, when it zooms out to show the gold he's carrying, the sound for opening his cabinet can be heard.<br />
**He may have been opening his compartment as the camera was zooming out.<br />
*When Bender opens his compartment to show the label "Hecho en Mexico", his door falls off. The next scene has him sitting down with the door on, but not enough time passed for him to even sit down.<br />

"'''The Route of All Evil'''" is the forty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the third of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]], being the episode airing furtherest from when it was produced. It aired 8 December, 2002 on FOX. [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] form a competing business to [[Planet Express]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "We can all fight when we're drunk!" ===<br />
When [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are unable to decide on which beer to buy, Leela suggests that they brew their own. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] are yelling at [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] for being suspended from boarding school for salting [[Brett Blob|a bully]]. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (the universe ends after Dogdoo 7), Hermes and the Professor force their sons to get jobs. They start a delivery company, ''[[Awesome Express]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselveses!" ===<br />
The kids order a pedal-powered space ship from a magazine for use on the deliveries, and start a paper route. Bender is now swollen with beer. [[Sal]] drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful. Awesome Express becomes more profitable than [[Planet Express]], but this fails to impress Hermes or the Professor. Rejected, the boys decide to crush Planet Express instead, and hire away the crew. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs, namely [[Scruffy]] and [[Zoidberg]]. Before they get very far, Cubert is able to inherit Planet Express after discovering the Professor had been declared legally dead three years ago. They rename the entire company Awesome Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "You rotten kids!" ===<br />
Hermes and the Professor leave the building, depressed. Bender "gives birth" to an ale (Benderbrau). Dwight and Cubert's failure to actually deliver the newspapers becomes apparent, they go to their fathers, who had been feeling sorry for themselves, for help. The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the Blob household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|Mr. Blob]] and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. Mr. Blob visits them to apologise, Bender shares some of his beer with the men, and Brett learns to be more like his father, by digesting Dwight and Cubert.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The commentary for this episode was recorded ''before'' it aired on television, due to [[Bumper Robinson]] being out of the country. They had to wait for his return to re-record some lines.<br />
*Bender produces 5 gallons, 6 ounces of beer, or 646 liquid ounces (128 ounces to a gallon). Assuming that, in the [[31st century]], the United States customary fluid ounce is still defined as 29.574 milliliters, that equates to ~19.1 liters of [[Bendërbrāu]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*[[Bendërbrāu]] is an allusion to a few things:<br />
**The beer's name comes from an actual beer that the ''[[Futurama]]'' staff brewed in their offices at the time of production.<ref>{{cite commentary|episode=The Route of All Evil|volume=3|disc=2}}</ref><br />
**When the Bendërbrāu is growing inside Bender, the process is frequently compared to pregnancy.<br />
**The bottle label for Bendërbrāu says that it is a {{w|steam beer}}, a style of beer which is most popular in [[California]].<br />
*Hermes sings a parody of the {{w|Bob Marley}} song "{{w|Get Up, Stand Up}}" while sorting his papers before Cubert and Dwight come in and dissemble his office.<br />
*The prince on the small asteroid, who is later knocked out by paper and speaks [[French]] is a reference to ''{{w|The Little Prince}}''.<br />
*The dog chasing Dwight and Cubert (Awesome Express) as they fly through an asteroid field is eaten by a {{sw|Exogorth|giant space slug}} extending from an {{w|asteroid}}, a parody of a scene in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'', in which the {{sw|Millennium Falcon}} flies out from inside a similar beast as it tries in vain to re-eat the ship.<br />
*The various brands of alcohol in 7^11 contain references to real-life alcoholic beverages.<br />
** Pabst Blue Robot is a reference to {{w|Pabst Blue Ribbon}}.<br />
** Kleinz is a reference to the {{w|Klein Bottle}}, a "non-orientable" surface with only 1 side in Euclidean space. The bottles the Kleinz comes in are Klein Bottles.<br />
** Olde Fortran is named after {{w|Old English 800}} and the computer programming "language" {{w|Fortran}}.<br />
**St Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl is named after {{w|St. Pauli Girl}} and the {{w|Pauli Exclusion Principle}}. <br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
[[File:Benderbrau.jpg|thumb|Label indicating that [[Bendërbrāu]] is a steam beer.]]<br />
*The {{w|periodic table}} seen on Dwight's lunchbox has been outdated since 1997 when the elements Hassium and Meitnerium were added; whoever was responsible obviously wasn't aware of the additions. Further elements have been added since the episode was made, and at least one of the many scientists on staff would have been aware of the growing nature of the table, so perhaps they chose to omit these elements.<br />
**This would show peoples bad perception of the 21 century.<br />
*The Little Prince speaks a few words of French when hit by a newspaper, despite previous claims that French was a dead language {{et|2ACV10}}.<br />
**A "dead language" is not necessarily a language that is no longer spoken. It could be one that is no longer changing, like {{w|Latin}}. Further, perhaps being an inhabitant of an asteroid immunizes the Little Prince from language changes on Earth.<br />
*When pumping the [[Bendërbrāu]] out of Bender, Fry proclaims that they've created an {{w|ale}}. However, the bottle label says that it's a {{w|steam beer}}, which is not an ale but a hybrid beer that combines traits of both ales and {{w|lager}}s.<br />

"'''Time Keeps on Slippin{{'}}'''" is the forty-seventh episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fifteenth of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 6 May, 2001 on FOX. After collecting [[chroniton]]s in an attempt to beat the [[Globetrotters]] in a basketball game, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]] inadvertently causes time to start skipping forward randomly. Meanwhile, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] tries to win [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s affection, and during a time skip he manages to do so, while [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] tries to become a member of the Globetrotters.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Your face can take a lot of punishment. That's good to know." ===<br />
While the staff of [[Planet Express]] are visiting [[Central Park Lake]], a spaceship lands and the [[Globetrotters]] emerge and challenge [[Earth]] to a game of basketball simply to embarrass them if they lose. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] offers to play them and plans to beat them with a team of mutant atomic supermen, however they are currently only babies. To speed up the growth, Farnsworth sends the crew to collect [[chroniton]]s. While collecting the chronitons, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] tries but fails to impress [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. Professor gives the [[Mutant Atomic Supermen|supermen]] the chronitons and they grow into adults; mutations include a man with a cannon in his chest and a giant spider. The basketball game starts and is commentated by Marv Albert's head. The supermen are winning 48-42.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Enough about your promiscuous mother, Hermes!" ===<br />
While playing, however, a strange flash occurs, causing everyone to reappear in a different position. Another flash happens, and Professor times the game out; he determines that time is lurching forward randomly, due to interference from the Chronotons. Time and space are ripping apart. In addition, Aracneon is killed and Fry offers to play to show Leela his skills. However, in two minutes he allows the Globetrotters to win 200 points, causing Earth to lose the game. The leader of the Globetrotters, [[Ethan 'Bubblegum' Tate]] offers to help find out what is happening with time and space. The Professor concludes that by Thursday it will be the end of existence.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Hello, lawsuit." ===<br />
Time continues to skip forward and the Professor concludes that everyone acts normally during a time skip, but they have no memory of it. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] expresses his love of the Globetrotters and his desire to be one. Fry shows Leela to a special room that will stop time skips; in reality, it is just a ploy for them to have sex, annoying Leela. She complains to [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] that Fry is sweet but very immature. Through the [[Smell-O-Scope]], Farnsworth finds out that time is leaking, causing time skips on Earth. Bubblegum thinks that moving a cluster of stars to a certain area will cause the time skips to move to an empty part of the universe. Using all of Earth's money, a [[Bad-Ass Gravity Pump|gravity-pump]] is built to move the stars. After Leela successfully moves the stars, Bender shows Bubblegum his homemade Globetrotter uniform and Fry again tries to impress Leela. While Leela once again starts to reject Fry, saying she will ''never'' fall for him, a time skip occurs and Fry and Leela have just gotten married.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "I deserve free money!" ===<br />
The time skips carry on and Leela, thinking that Fry tricked her into marriage, divorces him. The others try to console him. He tries to figure out how he managed to woo Leela. Farnsworth realises that Bubblegum's algebra was incorrect. The rest of the Globetrotters decide to cause an implosion in the Chronoton nebula to create a black hole. Farnsworth provides one of his doomsday devices for that to work. Bubblegum tells Bender he isn't 'funky' enough to be a Globetrotter, upsetting him. Fry apologizes to Leela about the possibility that he did trick her in marrying him, and begins to think that he will never find out how he and Leela married. However, he is taken aback when he finds out he really did win her heart by spelling "I Love You Leela" with the stars themselves; unfortunately, they are sucked into the black hole before he can show Leela. Leela wonders why Fry is upset, but Fry just keeps it to himself.<br />

<br />
'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

"'''The Mutants Are Revolting'''" is the one hundredth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. This episode was branded as the season finale for the seventh broadcast season, as well as episode 100 of the series. It aired 2 September, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]]. After [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] is banished to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] along with the other [[Sewer Mutants|mutants]], she and the [[Planet Express crew]] lead [[Devolution Revolution|a revolution for mutant rights]].<br />
<br />
The episode is one of few which shows large political and sociological change in the ''Futurama'' universe, which had effects on many following episodes.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Good news, everyone!" ===<br />
[[File:Leela deported.png|thumb|left|Leela is deported to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] when Fry reveals that she is an illegal [[Sewer Mutant]].]]<br />
The [[Planet Express crew]] has been hired for their 100th delivery, which is delivering a soufflé. For this occasion, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] plans the [[100th Delivery Party|party of the millennium]]. [[Mrs. Astor]], the addressee, lives on the [[Waldorf Asteroid]], and so the crew [[Planet Express ship|flies]] there. Once the mission is complete, she invites [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser|her fundraiser]] in the [[New New York Historical Society]] [[New New York Historical Society building|building]]. Fry invites [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] along, but, during the fundraiser, which supports the [[United Mutant Scholarship Fund]], Fry accidentally reveals to the guests that Leela, who felt outraged at the thinly-veiled racist treatment dispensed to mutants, is not an [[Alien]], but rather a [[Sewer Mutant]], who is living illegally on the surface. Leela is banished to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] and sees the horrors of living down there. In an attempt to rectify his mistake, Fry, along with the rest of the crew (except for Bender), go to [[Citihall]]. Due to another of Fry's blunders, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] finds out that they knowingly harbored Leela, and sentences them to 2 weeks below the surface. Meanwhile, Bender is throwing a great party with [[100th Delivery Party#Attendants|a lot of people]]. However, when he realises that he misses the rest of the crew, he orders everyone out and wallows in self-pity. Fry thinks living beneath the surface will be a good thing as he will now understand what being a Mutant feels like. Leela is angry at Fry (and all surface people for that matter) and states that if he wants to understand he should jump in [[Lake Mutagenic]] and become one.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "You are all surface." ===<br />
[[File:Land Titanic wreck.png|thumb|left|Fry, Amy, Zoidberg, Hermes and the Professor find the remains of the ''[[Land Titanic]]''.]]<br />
Fry comes up with an excuse not to jump and Leela is left angry at him. Whilst walking in the sewers, the crew stumbles on the ''[[Land Titanic]]'', a land bus in the shape of the ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'', which struck a mail box and sunk beneath the surface in [[2912]]. After looking through the ship for a while, they find a safe containing a rare [[Quantum Force Gemerald]], and a list of passengers on board the vessel, including Mrs. Astor's late husband. The crew decides to stay in one of the cabins. Fry, unable to sleep, walks to [[Lake Mutagenic|the toxic lake]]. Leela, feeling guilty about how she treated Fry, goes to look for him to apologize. She finds him and tries to stop him, but Fry, thinking she's still mad at him, jumps in anyway. She goes out on the lake and pulls him out, only to find now that he is severely mutated. Having had enough of the situation, Leela, along with Fry and the rest of the crew, starts a revolt against the street dwellers. Fry returns to the surface for Bender, so that he can bend the [[West Side Pipeway]] to send all the sewage back up the pipes. This leads to the streets of [[New New York]] being covered with sewage. Mrs. Astor demands something to be done, and the Mayor orders an [[Antarian]] to send all the waste to [[Madison Cube Garden]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "What goes down must back up!" ===<br />
[[File:Mrs. Astor and Mayor Poopenmeyer decide to grant the Sewer Mutants their freedom.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mrs. Astor]] and [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] decide how to handle the [[Devolution Revolution]].]]<br />
With Leela in charge, the Mutants go up onto the surface and demand equal rights. Mrs. Astor orders [[Hobsy|her butler]] to fire an [[I See BM]] missile, which misses the Mutants and hits Madison Cube Garden, sending a tidal wave of sewage at them. Just before they are covered with sewage, Fry appears and uses the jewel to separate the sewage (emulating the Biblical scene with Moses and the Red Sea). Fry reveals to Mrs. Astor that they found the wreckage of the ''Land Titanic'', along with a list of passengers, which included Mutants. Fry reveals [[Leela's grandmother|an old and aged mutant]], who was a young worker on the ''Land Titanic'' when it sunk. She reveals that [[Mr. Astor]] gave [[Life car|his seat]] up for her and [[Leela's great-grandmother|her mother]]. Upon learning this, Mrs. Astor asks for the Mutants to be allowed to the surface, to which Mayor Poopenmeyer agrees. Leela states she now has the stomach to kiss Fry for all he's done. When they kiss, Fry and [[Mr. Astor|the body of another Mutant]] are separated. It turns out that Mr. Astor fell into the toxic lake and mutated when the ''Land Titanic'' sunk, and, when Fry jumped into the lake, he lodged himself into his mouth. Mr. and Mrs. Astor are united once again and hug. The crew returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] with Leela's family and celebrate their 100th delivery.<br />

This episode was dedicated to the memory of [[Alex Johns]], a producer of ''Futurama'' who passed away at 43 years old.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, the episode was viewed by an estimated 1.792 million households.<ref>[http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310451/m/769102913 Pifeedback.com - Thursday 9/02/10 - Topic]</ref><br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*The title of this episode has double meaning, which is referenced in a newspaper headline in the episode - the first being that the mutants revolt against the humans, and the second being that the mutants look revolting. This may be a reference to the stonewall riots, a well known New York event in the gay rights movement where a sign with the words "homosexuals are revolting" was featured in many news articles of the event.<br />
*This is the second time ''Futurama'' makes a reference to the Titanic, the first being in "[[A Flight to Remember]]".<br />
*The narrator of "The Mutant" [[documentary]] is the same voice that narrated the fictional documentaries "I Dated A Robot" and "Global Warming".<br />
*This is the first time that a ''Futurama'' title caption pops out ''over'' the main title.<br />
*The episode's title caption is 100 using bent girders to spell it to signify that this is ''Futurama'''s 100th episode.<br />
*The song playing at Bender's party is "{{w|The Boogie That Be}}" by the {{w|Black-Eyed Peas}}.<br />
*The song playing at the end of the episode is "{{w|Bend It}}" by {{w|Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich}}.<br />

[[File:greatmachine.jpg|thumb|right|225px|The ''Great Machine'' in ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''.]]<br />
*The part where the Planet Express crew delivers the nitroglycerin soufflé contains references to {{w|William Friedkin}}'s movie ''{{w|Sorcerer (film)|Sorcerer}}''.<br />
*When [[H. G. Blob]] enters the 100th delivery party, he says "Hey, Hey Hey", much like {{w|Fat Albert}}.<br />
*The [[Land Titanic]]'s name and appearance, how it sunk, and its old ballroom floor, as well as finding a huge gem in a safe, are all references to the famous {{w|Titanic}} incident.<br />
*[[Dwayne]] asks [[Devo]] to play "{{w|Whip It}}", which is probably Devo's most famous single.<br />
**The song that Devo plays instead of "Whip It" is "{{w|Beautiful World}}", another popular single by them.<br />
**When [[Dwayne]] asks, "Are we not men now?", he's making another Devo reference to the song "{{w|Jocko Homo}}", specifically the lyric "Are we not men? We are Devo!" (which also makes up the title of {{w|Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!}}, their 1978 debut album).<br />
**When [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] responds, he states that he's "40% potato", another reference to [[Devo]], more specifically their fans who are called "Spuds".<br />
*The [[Million Mutant March]] is a reference to the {{w|Million Man March}}.<br />
*A location in the sewers that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s parents show her is [[Old Filthful]], a reference to {{w|Old Faithful}}.<br />
*The missile that is fired at [[Madison Cube Garden]] is an [[I See BM]], a reference to an {{w|ICBM}}, which stands for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.<br />
*Mutant [[Fry]] declaring, "Let my people stay" and using a toilet plunger to part the massive sewage is a reference to the story of {{w|Moses}} in {{w|Exodus}} and the parting of the {{w|Red Sea}}. More specifically, the scene is a parody of the scene from ''{{w|The Ten Commandments (1956 film)|The Ten Commandments}}''.<br />
*One of the sewer mutants is Krumm from [[Aaahh!!! Real Monsters]].<br />
*The [[Westside Pipeway]] resembles the ''Great Machine'' from {{w|Fritz Lang}}'s movie ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''. The film is about a future where the rich and powerful live on top a city, while the exploited workers live a life of austerity underground.<br />
*The "2, 4, 6 eyes..." chant is a reference to the well known "2, 4, 6, 8..." chant.<br />
*The most famous scene of ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}'' is parodied, as previously done in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]".<br />
*The "[[Waldorf Asteroid]]" is a parody of the {{w|Waldorf-Astoria}}, a famous luxury hotel.<br />
*In addition, Mr. Astor is probably a direct reference to {{w|John Jacob Astor IV}} of the {{w|RMS Titanic}}, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.<br />
*When mutant [[Fry]] says, "What goes down, must back up!", the line is a reference to Newton's Law Of Gravity: "What goes up, must come back down."<br />
*After getting washed away by the westside pipeway's explosion, Leela's dad says that those mutants are "with the C.H.U.D.s now," a reference to the 1984 B-horror film, C.H.U.D. (an acronym for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers"). The ninth season episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', titled "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", also has a couple of references to the C.H.U.D.s.<br />
*The [[Michael Collins Mix]] references {{w|Michael Collins (Irish leader)|Michael Collins}} and the famous {{w|Tom Collins|Collins Mix}}. As the drink was seen in the context of the [[Devolution Revolution]], it is likely that it is a parody of Michael Collins, who was an {{w|Ireland|Irish}} revolutionary leader. This may be a double allusion. Michael Collins was the name of the astronaut who piloted the command module for Apollo 11, making him one of the first three people to travel to the moon. On the bottle of Collins mix, there is a moon and stars.<br />
*Twice in the episode, a mutant with three breasts can be seen, a possible homage to the character Mary from the science fiction movie {{w|Total Recall}}. The only difference is that the mutant is less human in appearance.<br />
*After [[Professor Farnsworth]] had said they're making their 100th delivery, Hermes' response is "That's almost 10 per year." The statement is a mathematical reference to Futurama's run so far from 1999-2010 on TV.<br />
*Mrs. Astor reads the ''Now Dowager'' magazine, a reference to the film {{w|Now, Voyager}}.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
[[File:Angry Norwegian 6ACV12.png|thumb|right|A priceless can of ''[[Angry Norwegian]]'' (bottom right) is seen in the sewers. In "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]", Fry had the last known can in existence.]]<br />
*At the 100th delivery party, [[100th delivery party#Guests|many characters from previous episodes]] can be seen.<br />
*It is established that the Farnsworths have been living in [[New New York]] for 200 years. However, given that the Professor is over 170 himself, this is less than impressive.<br />
*The fact that [[Lake Mutagenic]] mutates unmutated beings is re-established.<br />
*We learn that [[Leela]] has [[Leela's Grandmother|a living grandmother]].<br />
*The fact that [[Leela]] claims herself as an alien, but is really a [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] is re-established.<br />
*The Mutants fight for their rights on the surface, which we've come to know in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" that it was illegal for them to be there.<br />
*The running gag of [[Bender]] saying, "Neat" and then taking a picture with a flash camera reappears here.<br />
*The bull horn that [[Leela]] uses is the same one that Leela used to lead the feministas from ''Into the Wild Green Yonder''.<br />
*The [[Fry-Leela relationship|relationship between Fry and Leela]] is a main theme in the episode. The [[Bender-Amy relationship|relationship between Bender and Amy]], however, is only referenced at the end when they dance together.<br />
*A priceless can of [[Angry Norwegian]] anchovies can be seen on the ground as Fry leaves the Titanic to go swim in the lake. He had a similar can in the episode, "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]".<br />
*The [[Hyper-Chicken]] apparently survived his car crash from "Proposition Infinity".<br />
*Before Bender's party, he calls for Fry and Hermes, the only two known humans he does not wish to kill. Hermes was added to Bender's "do-not-kill" list in "[[Lethal Inspection]]".<br />
*The Nude Bartender from [[Planet XXX]] is seen attending Bender's party. Evidently, he was not censored with the rest of the planet in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]".<br />
* In "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" Amy says that rings are stupid, and no-one likes them any more, implying that it was once popular to like rings. In the flashback, we see [[Mr. Astor]] wearing them on his hat.<br />
* A quantum force gemerald appears for the first time since "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When [[Mr. Astor]] lifts his hat for the first time, his head is full of hair. When he lifts it for the second time, however, he's bald.<br />
*During the documentary on Mutants, a poodle is seen walking by (and the narrator states "below poodle feet") even though in "[[Xmas Story]]", Farnsworth established that Christmas trees were "gone with the way of the poodle", meaning poodles no longer existed.<br />
**There are a few possible counterpoints:<br />
***Farnsworth's comment could be interpreted as a fad that's merely gone like saying Disco is dead.<br />
***It could be that poodle remains were found and that the poodle was cloned, bringing them back to life, like in "[[Jurassic Bark]]" where the remains of Fry's dog [[Seymour]] are almost used to clone him. <br />
***It's also possible that the events of "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''" brought all extinct species back to life. <br />
***Finally, because we don't know the age of the documentary, it may have been made before poodles became extinct.<br />
*In one scene when Hermes and Fry are by the ship talking about Leela and the Party and so forth, Hermes' shirt is seen without buttons, then in the next scene his shirt has buttons.<br />
*In this episode, Bender is gyroscopically stable, but Bender has not been stable like this in most other episodes, such as "[[Crimes of the Hot]]"<br />

"'''Obsoletely Fabulous'''" is the sixty-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fourteenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 27 July, 2003 on FOX. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] finds himself feeling obsolete compared to the new [[Robot 1-X]], but he cannot get himself to get the upgrade, so he flees to a distant island.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I'm your top-of-the-line, Mom!" ===<br />
The "[[Roboticon 3003]]", the worlds largest robot trade show, takes place in [[Madison Cube Garden]], and the crew goes to have a look. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Dr. Wernstrom]] use this opportunity to present their latest [[Killbots]] - unfortunately their stalls are side by side, so they end up in a fist fight, while their killbots go share a drink in the face of the senseless violence from their creators. [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] presents its latest model: [[Robot 1-X]], a servant robot with countless uses around the house. The Professor is so impressed that he buys one of them, which makes [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] unhappy who feels threatened by this superior piece of technology. To take care of that, he decides to get an upgrade to become compatible with the new technology. Seeing how the other robots getting the upgrade are changed by it, Bender changes his mind and flees from the factory, but is afraid to face his co-workers in his current obsolete state. He constructs a makeshift boat and heads out to sea.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I am a hideous triumph of form and function" ===<br />
Bender strands on a lonely island and soon runs out of power. He is rescued by a group of obsolete robots who refused to get upgrades and defy modern technology, instead they embrace nature. Bender soon adopts their ways and goes even further - he decides to get a downgrade. He emerges from it as a steam-powered unit with a wooden body. He decides it is time to declare war on technology.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "The 1-X robots are my friends!" ===<br />
Bender and his fellow robots travel in a wooden rowing sumbarine to [[New New York]], performing acts of anti-technological terrorism. Their last target is the [[Planet Express]] building where Bender has a score to settle with Robot 1-X. They shoot the building with a catapult but miss, trapping the crew under the damaged [[Planet Express Ship]] where they are threatened by burning fuel. Bender rushes to save his friends, but is let down by his wooden body that disintegrates from termites. The only way to save the crew is to ask Robot 1-X for help, which Bender does, and it saves the crew. Bender realizes that he loves Robot 1-X - and finds that he never left the factory in the first place, and his experience on the island was an illusion triggered by the upgrade process. He is somewhat unnerved as he feels he can't really trust his senses, but also content that all is back to normal - after all, reality is what you make it.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*The [[Killbots|Killbot]] from the deleted scene in "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" can be seen on the "Roboticon 3003", it is standing in front of Wernstrom's stall.<br />
*The [[Masked Unit]] from "[[Raging Bender]]" can be seen walking in front of the Robot Toys stall in the beginning.<br />
*This is the second episode of the series to involve long fantasies, the first being "[[The Sting]]"; it was also the second episode in the series (and in a row) to revolve around [[Bender]] either getting an upgrade or being changed ("[[Bend Her]]").<br />
* This was also the second and last episode to have an entire act with only one major character (Bender Act 2)<br />
* Also, one of the robots at Roboticon 3003, and at the robot upgrading place became an enemy in [[Futurama (video game)|the video game]].<br />
* [[Fatbot]], one of the [[Fratbots]] from [[Mars University (place)#Epsilon Rho Rho|Epsilon Rho Rho]], is the robot in line behind [[Bender]] waiting to get the upgrade.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*This episode's premise, in which most of the plot is revealed to be the main character's hallucination of escape from a dire predicament, all compressed into a few moments of actual time, is very similar to the famous short story "{{w|An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge}}".<br />
*The mill-wheel-powered robot's name is Lisa, the name of the Apple Macintosh's predecessor.<br />
*Sinclair 2K probably refers to the Sinclair home computer series of the 80s.<br />
*The wooden submarine has its origin in the series' creators obsession for a similar device, possibly '''C.S.S. Hunley''' or the '''Turtle'''.<br />
*Wernstrom impresses the audience with that his [[killbot]] has {{w|Lotus Notes}} on it.<br />
*The title may be an allusion to the "Britcom" ''{{w|Absolutely Fabulous}}''.<br />
*Bender and his gang swing through the city of New New York using vines, a reference to {{w|Spider-Man (film)|the film ''Spider-Man''}}.<br />
* The song that Bender plays from the CD is "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins. This song was used for a scene in the movie Caddyshack. Song: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCXy5SkdO30]. Movie: [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080487/]<br />

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*At the beginning of the episode the crew is seen attending [[Roboticon 3003]], but in the previous episode, "[[Bend Her]]", Hermes and Bender are seen competing in the 3004 Earth Olympics.<br />
**This may have been a wrong banner.<br />
*Bender is shown getting up off his back even though he has been shown [[Crimes of the Hot|previously]] to be unable to do this. Then again, perhaps he was slightly on his side. (But, in fact, at the end of "[[Crimes of the Hot]]", he managed to get up without help)<br />
*More than once throughout the episode, Cartridge Unit is seen talking without the use of a cartridge. Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination not filling out the details, it was not intended by the writers.<br />
**He may have some words set in him to be able to say without cartridges, or he put it in off screen.<br />
*When Bender is attempting to make Yam Schnapps, he is unable to find a plug socket for his blender. However, in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]" he plugs a TV into a plug socket on his lower body.<br />
**However, it is likely he didn't have enough power in himself to run the blender.<br />
***Or since he never used it after that episode, he may have had it removed.<br />
*When the robots swing through New New York on vines, for one frame [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]]'s pants are brown.<br />
*The Planet Express ship leaks fuel which sets a light putting the crew in danger, even though the ship is powered by dark matter.<br />
**Once put it, dark matter could be converted to liquid that's extremely flammable.<br />
***Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination/part of the upgrade to help add to the plot of Robot 1-X helping Bender.<br />

"'''A Head in the Polls'''" is the sixteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the third of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and the seventh of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 12 December, 1999 on FOX. It guest stars [[Claudia Schiffer]] as herself in [[Heads in jars|a jar]]. [[Richard Nixon's head|Richard Nixon]] announces his entry into the [[Earth presidential election, 3000|3000 presidential election]] after obtaining [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]'s body. Despite the attempt to get Nixon out of the race, Nixon wins the election.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
{{plot-update}}<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "How are you going to live without a body?" ===<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] are on the couch at [[Planet Express]] watching "[[The Scary Door]]" when [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] runs in and changes the TV to [[C-SPAN9]], which is showing the [[Earth presidential election, 3000|Presidential Debates of the year 3000]]. The candidates, [[Jack Johnson]] and [[John Jackson]], are clones, with identical views on nearly every subject. Fry says he's not even registered to vote, so Leela makes him go register immediately. Fry meets representatives from all the political parties, and begins to become interested in politics. Back at Planet Express, they see a news report about a mining accident on [[Titan]] traps over 1000 robots and sends Titanium prices through the roof. Bender, whose body is 40% titanium, sells his body to a pawn shop.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "My body loved me and I turned its back on it." ===<br />
Bender begins living it up with his new wealth. After speaking with the [[Head Museum#Hall of President|presidents' heads]] at the [[Head Museum]], Bender realizes he has made a mistake and tries to buy back his body. But when he gets to the pawn shop, his body has already been sold - to [[Richard Nixon's head]]. It unfolds that Nixon is using Bender's body to run for [[President of Earth]] on a technicality ("no''body'' can be elected more than twice").<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "You've got real charisma from the neck down." ===<br />
Nixon&#8217;s Head, thanks to his shiny new robot body, sweeps the robot voters in early polls in spite of his miserable performance in the debates. Bender and friends try to get Bender's body back from Nixon. When Nixon refuses to return it, they break into his hotel room at the Watergate Hotel to steal it back. They are successful, but Nixon just buys a new body, a bigger one, with heavy weapons, and slides into office on the robot vote anyway. The regular characters all lament that Nixon won by just one vote, and that they all forgot to cast their own votes (apart from Bender, who wasn't allowed to vote anyway due to his criminal record). The episode ends with Nixon rampaging through the streets of D.C. and making a himself a new entrance to the White House.<br />

**It is possible that "president" refers to both titles.<br />

"'''Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television'''" is the sixtieth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the sixth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the fifteenth of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]].

== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "For I have AMNESIA!" ===<br />
[[File:Harold Zoid Poster.jpg|thumb|left|Auditions to find a new Calculon Jr.]]<br />
[[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] are dreaming of imitating anything they see on [[TV]], particularily anything on ''[[All My Circuits]]'', like amnesia which seems to have every character in its grip. As [[Calculon (All My Circuits)|Calculon]] is throwing a big [[birthday]] party on screen, Cubert wants to have a big party too - but do clones even have birthdays? [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] says no, but he concedes that they can celebrate the day he scraped the cells for the cloning process off his back - thirteen years ago next week. Around this time it will be Dwight's birthday too, so [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] has the idea of combining both events in one party at the office and writing it off as business expense. Meanwhile, on "All my Circuits", [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.]] is having a technical breakdown, instead the popular show "[[Everybody Loves Hypnotoad]]" is put on. Dwight's and Cubert's party is not a success, no one has turned up except the crew, their families and [[Tinny Tim]], but [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] brings the news that All my Circuits is holding an open casting call for a child robot to replace Antonio Calculon, Jr. and that he is intending to take it. At the audition, Bender boos out every competitor which makes Calculon reject them, and when it is Benders turn, he is accepted because [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are cheering madly, despite the fact that Bender can't act worth a damn.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Now my character has a British accent?" ===<br />
[[File:Fathers Against Rude Television.png|thumb|left|Protestation against TV.]]<br />
The first shooting in the studio starts with a disappointment for Bender, as his character is supposed to be in a coma. Bender, however, decides to do a little improvisation and does what he does best - singing, dancing, and smoking. [[Calculon]] decides to take the scene, as he never does two takes. After seeing the result, Calculon decides to fire Bender. But then, the [[Execu-Bots]] who run the network show up and decide that Bender stays on the show, for he stimulates the audience and is likely to make them rich. Bender becomes a TV star by doing the things he loves - smoking, drinking and stealing. Cubert, Dwight and even Tinny Tim embrace their new role model at once and imitate everything they see him do on TV. The Professor and Hermes are appalled and decide to form a protest group, [[Fathers Against Rude Television]] a.k.a. ''F.A.R.T.''. Cubert, Dwight and Tim decide to rob Bender in a desperate effort to imitate him without throwing up from drink or cigars.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I once put a laugh-track on a sitcom that had no jokes in it!" ===<br />
[[File:Coolometer.png|thumb|left|"I'm getting a reading of over 40 [[Mega Fonzies]]"]]<br />
The burglary at [[Robot Arms Apts.]] goes as planned, and the three of them throw a huge party for all children they know with the cool stuff they nicked from Bender. The Professor and Hermes crash the party, and Farnsworth finds out with his [[Cool-O-Meter]] that Dwight and Cubert are exceptionally cool with all the stuff, and ask where it came from. Cubert and Dwight break down and confess, strengthening their parents resolve to do something against their role model. Bender suddenly emerges from a safe stolen by the boys, where he was apparently sleeping. At first Bender defends himself, but when he finds out the kids stole from him, he immediately does a 180° turn and now says that Bender should not be allowed on TV himself. Logically he joins F.A.R.T. and organizes a march on Hollywood. He wants to quit, but the network does not let him go and forces him to stay by force of arms. The Professor wants to resort to violence to solve the problem, bringing Bender between the fronts. He tricks both armed persons and seizes their guns so he can hold a climatic speech in peace. He states that violence, crime and drug abuse should not be shown to kids, but that a big share of the blame rests with the parents who just can't shut off the TV once in a while. With their differences solved, the crew has learned an important lesson - and congregates in front of the TV to celebrate this fact.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]], as the name of the episode is directly quoted by Bender.<br />
*This episode's theme song is remixed with [[John DiMaggio]] beatboxing and [[Billy West]] providing some "[[Zoidberg]], Zoidberg, Z-Z-Z-Z-Zoidberg" interjections.<br />
*Fry is seen reading a ''[[Space Boy in Outer Space]]'' comic, the cover of which matches the 1979 issue previously seen in "[[Monkey Sea, Monkey Doom!]]"<br />
*There is a cardboard cut-out of [[Slurms MacKenzie]] facing out Fry and Bender's window.<br />
*The song "TV Party" by the punk band {{w|Black Flag (band)|Black Flag}} is featured in this episode twice: First, in Act 2 when Bender is introduced in the theme song of ''All My Circuits'' but right before Dwight smokes his dad's "cigar".

=== Continuity ===<br />
* The [[Hypnotoad]] from "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]" now has its own TV series, ''[[Everybody Loves Hypnotoad]]''.<br />
* A poster of the movie '[[Le Petit Thief]]', starring [[Harold Zoid]], can be seen in the background of the casting office.<br />
* As the FARTers are marching down the street, a poster for ''[[The Scary Door]]'', a popular TV show in the Futurama universe, is seen on one of the studio doors.<br />
*[[Bender's banjo]] makes its fourth appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
* [[All My Circuits]] is running up to new heights of soap opera in this episode, imitating just about every other soap opera. Especially the much-liked amnesia is omnipresent in the first two minutes.<br />
*Emotitron Jr., one of the child robots who auditions for the part of Antonio, is a spoof of the classic movie ''Mommie Dearest''. In the episode the mother hits her child screaming "no more hanging wires!" while in the movie she hits her daughter with clothes hangers screaming "no more wire hangers!".<br />
* [[Calculon]] said that he only did one take. This may be an allusion to filmmaker Ed Wood, who usually used only one take to make his films.<br />
* The [[Execu-Bots]] are a spoof of the executives of every TV network and their weird policies that at times seem like random mental spasms.<br />
* The alarm that is set off when the Execu-Bots are coming is the same as the Red alert in ''[[Star Trek]]''.<br />
*The Cool-O-Meter used by the prof determines coolness by [[Mega Fonzies]], this is a reference of {{w|Fonzie}}, the coolest character of {{w|Happy Days}}.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When the [[Fathers Against Rude Television|FART]] mob shows up, [[Calculon]] mentions "great Shatner's ghost", even though [[William Shatner's head]] is still alive. However, some argue this may simply be a thespian quip.<br />
**However, it should be noted that William Shatner along with the Star Trek cast left Earth 300 years ago, he may have been declared dead.<br />

"'''A Farewell to Arms'''" is the one hundred and sixteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the second of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 9|ninth broadcast season]]. It aired on 20 June 2012 on [[Comedy Central]]. An ancient prophecy from a [[Martian calendar]] predicts [[Earth|the world]] [[3012 phenomenon|will end]] in [[3012]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "So the world will end in the year 3012...why does that year sound so familiar?" ===<br />
<br />
After a storm, [[Fry]] and [[Leela]] encounter a puddle as they are walking. He takes off his pants and puts them over the puddle, and offers to hold Leela's hand and walk her over the puddle. Though she initially refuses, she eventually agrees, but is sucked into the puddle by a puddle monster as she walks over it. Back at [[Planet Express headquarters]], Leela is covered in tentacle marks as a result of the incident. Fry, meanwhile, hangs his wet pants to a dry on a rope. [[Professor Farnsworth]] announces that he will be launching a weather balloon to investigate the odd weather conditions affecting [[Earth]]. The balloon is released, but takes Fry's pants along with it as Fry had tied his pants to the balloon's string. Not wanting to lose his "lucky pants", Fry gets the crew to track down the balloon so he can reclaim his pants. He eventually shoots the balloon down in space, which causes the pants to fall back to Earth in [[Central Park]]. As he is about to take his pants, which are hanging from a tree branch, he is blocked by a [[Central Park badger]] which promptly steals the pants and escapes into a hole. Fry chases down the badger in the hole covered in varmint grease, and discovers a mysterious set of symbols underground. <br />
<br />
The crew come down as well to investigate the symbols, but [[Leela]] accidentally slips into a hole. Fry attempts to save her, but the grease on his hands causes her to lose her grip and fall down into the hole. The crew follow her down using a rope made of Fry's clothes. After she regains her consciousness, she discovers her leg is broken. In the hole, they find a huge stone pyramid as well as a disk. They take it back to Planet Express headquarters, where they discover the disk is a actually [[Martian calendar]]. Amy translates the Martian symbols on the calendar, which state that [[3012 phenomenon|the world will end in 3012]], shocking the [[Planet Express|crew]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Is it just me, or is the world endin' more often these days?" ===<br />
<br />
Professor Farnsworth reveals that the weather balloon detected the onset of a catastrophic sunspot cycle. It begins its effect on Earth, and mass panic ensues in the streets of [[New New York]]. The crew attempt to escape, but discover that all electric power on Earth has been disabled by the electromagnetic storm. The crew spend what they believe will be their last time on Earth: Fry and Leela are about to have sex, and Professor Farnsworth is embalming himself. Amy, however, finds a possible solution: escape through the stone pyramid, which she learns is actually a [[Martian stone spaceship|spaceship]]. The crew inspect their ship, which Leela estimates can hold around 30,000 people. Though initially intending to save as many lives as they can, they later attempt to make their escape on the ship as the storm worsens. [[Zapp]], however, arrives and reports the ship to [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]], who decides that the ship's destination will be [[Mars]]. Fry is disheartened due to the probability that he will not be able to board the ship, as he possesses no special skills. The [[Contrabulous Choosematron]] is assigned to choose evacuees. To his surprise, Fry is accepted and given a ticket, due to the fact that the Contrabulous Choosematron liked his pants. Fry holds Leela's hand as she places her hand into the Contrabulous Choosematron's slot, but she is rejected due to the fact that with all spaceships inoperable, only one pilot will be needed: Zapp. Fry, however, is somehow able to manage to get her a ticket, and he hands her a ticket with her picture on it. As the ship takes off, Leela realizes that her ticket is actually Fry's ticket with her picture glued on to it. Fry has sacrificed his seat on the ship and has stayed behind on Earth with [[Bender]], who is eager to loot.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "It Mars that gonna be destroyed!" ===<br />
On Mars, the evacuated Earthicans establish a new city, [[Dick Francisco]]. During the unveiling of the city, [[Singing Wind]] arrives, asking what they are doing on Mars. As Amy explains the translated symbols on the calendar, he reveals that it is not Earth that will be destroyed, but rather Mars, and points out how his people were so eager to abandon Mars. Soon, lightning strikes and Mars is hit with severe solar flares and dust storms. As subsurface gas pockets begin to erupt on the Martian surface, Mars blasts out of orbit. Back on Earth, however, the weather has returned to normal. Fry and Bender are relaxing on deck chairs, drinking piña skull-adas and preparing for the "apocalypse". Bender notices Mars visible in the sky, and Mars begins to hover dangerously close to Earth, bringing panic in New New York. The Martian evacuees jump from Mars to Earth, with the exception of Leela, who cannot jump due to her broken leg. Fry attempts to rescue her, and lifts up his hand to grab her. He fails, however, and causes both of their arms to be severed. Eventually, [[Scruffy]] rescues her with the help of a ladder and Farnsworth creates new arms for Fry and Leela with the help of his [[birthing machine]]. Fry apologizes for his actions. Leela, however, says that despite the fact Fry failed in trying to save her, he is the only person who loves her enough to try. They share a hug as the scene fades into a shot of Fry and Leela's severed arms, hands held together, floating in space.<br />
<br />

== Reception ==<br />
On 30 January 2012, [[Eric Rogers]] revealed that his favourite episode from the ninth broadcast season was either "[[The Bots and the Bees]]", this one or "[[31st Century Fox]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/#!/Kitchelfilms/status/164107479981105152|author=[[Eric Rogers]]|date=2012-01-30|title=Kitchelfilms|site={{w|Twitter}}|accessdate=2012-01-31}}</ref><br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The title "'''Farewell to Arms'''", which was registered on the US {{w|Copyright Catalog}} on 14 July 2011,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=29&ti=26,29&Search_Arg=futurama&Search_Code=TALL&CNT=25&REC=0&RD=0&RC=0&PID=TsH4SXbiOi0dF3DmNIBqsPmX7xtu&SEQ=20120229184805&SID=1|date=2011-07-14|title=WebVoyage Record View 1|site=US {{w|Copyright Catalog}}|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref> was a working title for this episode.<br />
*"[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]", which is also the second episode of [[season 6|its season]], features an end of the world plot as well.<br />
*If the [[Season 5|movies]] are considered non-episodic, then this episode could be considered the 100th episode.<br />
**Alternatively, if each movie is considered one episode, this could be considered the 104th episode.<br />
**This is moot, however, since according to the canon, the movies are considered four episodes each.<br />
*The name of the episode is a reference to Fry and Leela both having lost one arm at the end of the episode. The word 'Arms' is an anagram of Mars which gets destroyed at the end of the episode.<br />
** Mars is not exactly destroyed at the end of the episode. Mars appears to have had its orbit altered, now residing either between the Earth and the moon or just beyond the moon's orbit. It's hard to be certain which due to the perspective and sizes of each object.<br />
*The second act is interesting because it does not end on a funny punch line, but instead a dramatic fade out.<br />
*Both Leela and Fry should have known they would have survived the Apocalypse since they read Bender's script on their love life in "[[Overclockwise]]".<br />
*If one looks closely at the tickets, it can be known that the ticket Fry gives Leela is actually his own ticket before it is directly revealed when Leela peels off her picture. When Fry receives his ticket from the Contabulous Choosematron, it bears the number combination "023870096 58". When Fry gives Leela the ticket, it bears the same combination.<br />
*The tickets says "Non-Transferable" right on them, but Fry was able to transfer his simply by pasting a picture of Leela on his ticket. This was good enough to fool the police scanning the tickets, or perhaps the police only cared if the tickets were valid and not whose ticket it belongs to.<br />
*The [[Planet Express headquarters]] is located on or near to 72nd Street, according to Farnsworth.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The episode's title is taken from the {{w|Ernest Hemingway}} novel ''{{w|A Farewell to Arms}}''. It is used to refer to Fry and Leela's arms getting torn off in the episode.<br />
*The episode is a reference to the {{w|2012 phenomenon}} and a parody of the movie ''{{w|2012 (film)|2012}}''.<br />
*The plot point of a solar flare destroying Earth is reminiscent of the film ''{{w|Knowing (film)|Knowing}}''.<br />
*In the Planet Express ship, Bender is reading a copy of ''Space Mall'', a parody of ''{{w|Sky Mall}}''.<br />
*Nixon says the best destination for the evacuated Earthicans to be transported to is [[Mars]], which has "no Woodward or Bernstein. That's a plus." He is referring to journalists {{w|Bob Woodward}} and {{w|Carl Bernstein}}, whose news reporting on the {{w|Watergate scandal}} eventually led to Nixon's resignation. <br />
*Additionally, "that's a plus" could also refer to the advertisement slogan of the social network "Google+".<br />
*Fry mentions ''{{w|Redbook}}''.<br />
*Nixon says that the spaceplane "just won't turn over, just like Pat on a Sunday morning." "Pat" was the name of {{w|Pat Nixon|Nixon's wife}} in real life.<br />
*Leela mentions ''{{w|Tron: Legacy}}''.<br />
*Fry says that Bender dumped pig's blood on him at the Planet Express Prom, a reference to ''{{w|Carrie (novel)|Carrie}}''.<br />
*"Sharksplosions" may be a reference to [http://sharksplode.com/ Sharksplode], an online tee-shirt store founded by Wil Wheaton and Joel Watson.<br />
*Zap pushes a button on the spaceplane and snakes fall out of a compartment onto Kif. This could be a reference to the movie "Snakes on a Plane". Also cliche ancient temple traps, like in Indiana Jones.<br />
*As Mars gets dangerously close to Earth, [[Hattie McDoogal]] says, "Oh no! The kajigger of Gibraltar!" Hattie refers to the landmark the {{w|Rock of Gibraltar}}, located off the coast of Europe. This is technically accurate; as Mars passes this point, it approaches the New York coastline and jumping point, the location of the [[Planet Express building]].<br />
*Leela falling into the buried ship could be a reference to Predator 2.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Singing Wind]], from "[[Where the Buggalo Roam]]", appears for the second time.<br />
*The Professor uses the [[birthing machine]] from "[[Rebirth]]" to clone new arms for Fry and Leela.<br />
*Fry gets his arm severed for a second time. The first time was in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]".<br />
*The original prophecy said that the Earth would not at all be affected, yet the two planets nearly collided. This may be a reference to the fact that the Earth's orbit was artificially modified in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*[[Richard Nixon's head]] is seen with the [[headless clone of Agnew]]. The [[Headless body of Agnew|original Agnew]] was killed in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />

=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>[repeated line]<br />
'''Fry''': [to Leela] Take my hand.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Fry]]''': No way I'm gonna let God get my pants! Nobody messes with my pants! Not even the Holy One, blessed be He!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Woah, there's writing in here! Also, this grease is flammable.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': [to Fry] Can't you just be a rude unhelpful jerk like Bender?<br />
'''Bender''': When I use up the toilet paper, I don't put on another roll!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Amy]]''': The calendar predicts fires, earthquakes, sharksplosions...then it just ends!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Hermes]]''': Is it just me, or is the world ending more often these days?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': So, you wanna join the Balcony Club?<br />

'''Fry''': Zoidberg, get lost!<br />
'''Zoidberg''': I ''am'' lost! So long.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': That underground pyramid isn't a pyramid.<br />
''[Cut to the underground area.]''<br />

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When Fry loses his pants, he says that they are the pants that he was wearing when he met Leela for the first time, in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", and that they are his only pants. But in "[[A Head in the Polls]]" he sold his pants, along with the rest of his outfit, at the pawn shop for $50.<br />
*If Singing Wind and his people knew that Mars was doomed enough to evacuate so long ago, why did he and so many others remain and attempt to reclaim their land (before ultimately selling out on the premise the land sucked anyway)?<br />
*The storm disables all electronics, yet Nixon's head's robotic arm still functions normally. Additionally, Zapp and the NNYPD's guns should not work either, but it is possible that the laser technology is not affected by the storm. The [[Contrabulous Choosematron]] is also another item that still works.<br />
**All these items could have been powered without electricity, like Bender.<br />
*Bender's crank is only seen in the first scene where it is used; after that, it is gone.<br />
**The crank could give him an extremly long charge.<br />
*In this episode, Amy says she belonged to the sorority Sigma Beta, but in "[[The Series Has Landed]]", she says she belonged to Kappa Kappa Wong.<br />
**She could have changed sororities over the course of twelve years.<br />
*Farnsworth, Fry and Bender should have known the world would not end in 3012, since they witnessed it ending over one billion years later in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]".<br />
**They initially skipped almost 7000 years, during which time society had collapsed several times on unknown dates. It is likely they were trying to avoid whatever had caused this.<br />
*If Mars and Earth really passed that close, then the gravity of the two planets would rip them appart.<br />
**When giving Mars oxygen, it could have altered the gravity. However, this is highly unlikely, because atmosphere content affects a planet's gravitation very little.<br />
*There's no way that burning subteranian gasses could move Mars that close to Earth so quickly, as there are millions of miles between them.<br />
*The Contrabulous Choosematron gives Fry two passes, so he should have been able to go with everyone to Mars, regardless of giving one to [[Leela]].<br />
**He got accepted twice, but he didnt get two passes.<br />
*Although [[Singing Wind]] explains why they left the Prophecy on Earth (to warn them not to go to Mars), it doesn't explain why they left the stone ship there.<br />
**It's possible that that was the very ship the original Martians used to come to Earth, and those Martians had died out on Earth, leaving behind their ship and [[Martian calendar|calendar]] there, and the legend of their journey back on Mars.<br />
**[[Singing Wind]] was also surprised the spaceplane actually worked, so it's possible they had their doubts about that ship and used other ships to return to Mars.<br />
*For the second time (the first time being in "[[Overclockwise]]"), the pillars of the balcony spell "Planet Express" during the wide shot, but during the close-up, they do not.<br />
**Additionally, the letters spelling "Planet Express" are in a different position than in "Overclockwise."<br />
*The ladders that led up to the pillar on the Planet Express balcony were not there in previous episodes.<br />
*Bender drives a car into Herschel's Non-Discount Diamonds after all vehicles/electronics were to have stopped working<br />

<poem>'''Nine''': When activated, the device will emit a localized blast of delta-band noise to momentarily disable the Dark One.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': But the Dark One could look like anything or anyone, right?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Or anywhere.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': So, what's your plan to recognize it?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': We don't have one.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Got it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': And we don't dare think of one neither. 'Cause if we do, the Dark Ones might sense kind of the general vibe. Even through our mighty foil. ''[He pokes a hole through his hat.]'' Oh, man! Anyone got some tape or some gum?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': As my colleague indicated, the plan cannot come from us, Fry. We were counting on you and your unreadable brain to come up with something.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That was a mistake.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': I see that now.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Freaky thing is, the Dark Ones' thoughts are unreadable, just like yours.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Yes, if we dared unwrap our heads, we could easily locate the one other being whose mind we can't read. The Dark One!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': But then the Dark One would read our minds and crush them like blood pumpkins.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Wait. I can read minds and my mind can't be read. I have a plan.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Great. Whatever it is, don't tell us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Wait. Fry can read minds and his mind can't be read. So he can safely scan for the Dark One...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Shut up! Shut up!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': ...whose mind can't be read...</poem><br />
:''[All of the Madfellows cover their ears and start gibbering over Hutch's voice.]''<br />

:''[Everybody in the cell is confused.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dixie''': Nobody's talking, Leela.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Trixie''': We're just painting each other's toenails with rat blood.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Linda''': We now go live to Leela with the escape plan. Leela?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Thanks, Linda. Now we're in here because we tried to save endangered wildlife. So this time, endangered wildlife will save us.</poem><br />
:''[She pulls up her pant leg and shows everybody the leech is clamped onto her leg.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': The Martian muck leech.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She gets light headed and has to sit down on a bed.]'' Little cutie almost sucked me dry.</poem><br />
:''[She pulls the leech away from her leg and throws it at the back wall of the cell, which it promptly begins burrowing into. The Feministas cheer.]''<br />
<poem>'''Labarbara''': Look at him go. Like a green snake through a sugarcane cake.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes (on her cell phone)''': Keep trying.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Scruffy is painting the Planet Express ship Electric Mucus again with a large spray can. He shakes it before spraying. Pan over to Zoidberg, who is making the same shaking noise by moving his body up and down. He turns to the ship and vomits the same color all over it.]''<br />
<br />
:''[News segment.]''<br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': Our top story. The universe's most wanted eco-feminists are now behind bars, including gang leader, Turanga Leela. AKA, the Notorious B-I-Itch.</poem><br />
:''[Pull out of the TV to the Planet Express lounge. Farnsworth and Hermes are watching TV on a 304" MagnaPhallix and a commercial for the 308" edition is on. Zoidberg and Scruffy enter.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': We finished un-pinking the ship, Hubert. Now what?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Now we get back to work. And if that means destroying an ecosystem or two, so be it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': I just meant without our good friends Fry, Leela, Amy and the robut.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Oh, boo-hoo.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Scruffy]]''': Life goes on. But I believe we'll forever carry the pain on the inside.</poem><br />
:''[He licks his finger and turns a page of his Play-Boy-Ar-Dee magazine.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Women's Prison. A rooster crows at dawn.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Oh, no, a rooster! That indicates it's the following morning.</poem><br />
:''[Everybody makes noises as they wake up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Labarbara''': How's that creepy crawler doing?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I'm sorry, femi-sisters, but it pooped out around 3:00 a.m. Poor thing couldn't take another bite.</poem><br />
:''[The leech bites onto her neck.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Well, I guess we failed. But what matters is, we tried our best and we looked good doing it.</poem><br />
:''[There are many thuds coming from the wall. A crack starts forming and is finally broken down from the outside.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Who does it look like? My identical cousin Buster?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Yes.</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas cheer.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You're here to break us out? But you're the one who put us in.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But I'm Bender, king of the combination shot. I put you in so that by busting you out, I could commit 15 felonies at once. Puttin' my rap sheet miles ahead of yours on the all-time chart.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You are one devious bastard.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': That's what it says on my vanity plate. ''[He bends over and a license plate on his crotch plate reads "1DVS BSTD."]''</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the exterior of the prison. The group is hiding behind a wall near the hole Bender created.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What about the sentries?</poem><br />
:''[Bender groans and smack his forehead.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Okay, Plan B. Everyone knows men have one fatal weakness - they can't resist hookers. Dixie, Trixie, you know what to do.</poem><br />
:''[Smash cut - Bender has been turned into a hooker by means of masquera, a blond wig and eye lashes. Two balloons are strategically positioned on his body and a small amount of fabric covers him.]''<br />

<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Asteroid in the Violet Dwarf Star System. The surface and its animals are covered in a while goo. Pull back from the system to an observation grand stand. There are hundreds of people present.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Ladies and gentleman and whatever, welcome to my most environmentally disastrous implosion ever. A whole star system!</poem><br />
:''[The crowd cheers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': Kif, old boy, mind if I sit on your shoulders for a better view?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Kif''': Well, actually, sir, I was hoping...</poem><br />
:''[Kif ends up with his head up Zapp's man-skirt and sighs.]''<br />

:''[The crowd cheers and Mr. Wong applauds as well as Fry slowly lowers himself below the podium.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Fry, what you doing down there?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He drops a wire.]'' Just polishing your shoes, Mr. W.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Mmm, that nice. Get between the toes there, very dirty.</poem><br />
<br />
:''[Cut back to the prison. The group is pinned down in Bender's hole in the wall by machine gun fire. Sirens are sounding.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, so much for Plan B.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Bender''': All situations have the same Plan C. Bending, come on.</poem><br />
:''[They run towards the closet wall. They reach it and Bender attempts to move it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': [[We're boned]], Bender. It's a brick wall.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Granted, it's not on the list of approved bendables, but I'm so great!</poem><br />
:''[Bender bends the 50 foot brick wall and only Leela, Amy, Labarbara and Bender escape over it. They take shelter behind a mound of land and hear dogs in the distance.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Dogs! The boning continues.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[He pulls a telephone out of his chest.]'' Green Bluebird, this is Mr. Fabulous. We are go for cheesing it.</poem><br />
:''[The Planet Express ship approaches for an extraction. The dogs have reached the ship, but only one can bite onto the tail wing before quickly loosing grip. Gun fire chases the ship as it flies away from the prison.]''<br />

<poem>'''Scruffy''': Scruffy. The janitor.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You helped us escape? Even after we locked you in a go-go cage like common go-go dancers?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I couldn't live with myself, Leela. I call myself a scientist, wear the white coat and probe a monkey every now and again, yet I put monetary gain ahead of preserving nature. Can you ever forgive me?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Scruffy''': I reckon.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I could kiss you, Professor.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Okay, but watch out for my new grill. ''[He smiles and shows his gold and diamond teeth.]''</poem><br />
<br />
''[Cut back to the destruction of the star system. The audience cheers as Zapp takes the stage.]''<br />

<poem>'''Mr. Wong (Telepathically)''': I never should have taken that accent elimination class from Jackie Chan.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Fry (Telepathically)''': There's no one here whose thoughts can't be read. No one, except me! My thoughts can't be read. But, but that's crazy. If I were the Dark One, I'd know it, wouldn't I? But, here I am, right where the Dark One would be, about to blow up the star. Oh, God! Somewhere deep inside of me, it's me! I'm the Dark One!</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Two... one!</poem><br />
:''[A crashing is heard and the crowd gasps. Leela has crashed the ship into the observation dome. She exits the ship with a megaphone.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Put your hands in the air!</poem><br />
:''[The crowd gasps and obliges.]''<br />
<poem>'''Snoop Dogg''': Should we wave them like we just don't care?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That's optional.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': You girl punks gone too far this time. Your parents should be ashamed.</poem><br />

:''[Mr and Mrs. Wong gasps and she reveals her identity to them.]''<br />

<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': You got it, Mr. Voice-in-my-head. ''[He makes a howling Kung Fu noise. Him and Leela fight over the plunger. He gets it away from her, but Amy whack him in the stomach with her putter.]'' I've gotta admit, Amy, you got a pretty good swing.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Really? Thanks, Dad.</poem><br />
:''[He reaches out for the plunger, but she whacks him in the chest again and he groans in pain.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Okay, time to defuse this star cracker once and for all. ''[She begins to cut the wire for the plunger.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Leela, wait. You're making a mistake. You have no idea what's really going on.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What is really going on?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I can't tell you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Then why should I trust you? Why?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Because... Because...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You're you. That's all I need to know.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': No! Don't do it!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Scruffy''': Fiddlesticks.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Leela, are you crazy? We became fugitives and jail-breakers to stop him.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': And hookers, don't forget hookers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Shame on all of you. After everything we've been through together, do you really think Fry would-</poem><br />
:''[Fry pushes down on the plunger and everybody gasps. The camera follows the spark along the wire to a wire that was crudely spliced in. It travels up to the Omega Device, which Fry is now holding to his chest.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Goodbye, Leela. I destroy myself to save you.</poem><br />
:''[The spark reaches the device and it transforms into a mid-evil coat rack. There is a green orb charging in the center of it which then expands, encasing Fry and Leela in a ball for a small moment. It's all over as quickly as it began, leaving Fry and Leela confused. Fry attempts to trigger it again by pushing down on the plunger a few more times.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon's Head''': Where's the boom? I was expecting a boom.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': It didn't work. I'm the Dark One, and it didn't do anything. ''[He throws the plunger to the floor.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mysterious Voice''': ''[It is emitted from Leela's body.]'' You're not the Dark One, I am.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Leela?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mysterious Voice''': Not Leela, you moron. Me! ''[It's revealed that the Desert Muck Leech is the Dark One. He screams and falls flat.]'' What did you do to me?</poem><br />
:''[The crowd gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Ew!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dark One''': I am the Dark One. The very last Dark One. How is it possible I couldn't read your mind? Oh, I am momentarily disabled.</poem><br />
:''[A thunder claps behind them and everybody looks at the Violet Dwarf Star System. The smaller asteroids line up beind the largest asteroid and move as one into the violet dwarf star and it undergoes mitosis.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Randy]]''': ''[He gasps.]'' What's happening out there?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Somethings wondersful.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': The star and the asteroid. They were an egg and a sperm.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Preacherbot''': Great modem of mercy. Cover the children's eyes.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': There are no children here.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Preacherbot''': Then move your fat head. I can't see.</poem><br />
:''[The process is complete and an Encyclopod emerges. The crowd gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': The Encyclopod is reborn. A new green age has begun!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mad Fellow''': So the legend foretold.</poem><br />
:''[The Encyclopod moves toward and past the observation dome, displaying the ecosystem on its back.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Look! Inside its pouch. Extinct Tasmanian tigers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': And dodo birds.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': And white rhinos.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': And striped biologist-taunters.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Striped biologist-taunter]]''': What are you gonna do, shoot us?</poem><br />
:''The Encyclopod circles around the dome and stops in front of the crowd.]''<br />
<poem>'''Encyclopod''': Life! ''[The crowd gasps.]'' These once extinct plants and animals are my gift to the universe. Through untold generations, my race has treasured their DNA. Treat them wisely with the knowledge that all species are precious.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': This is unbelievable. What's going on?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': To answer that, I must tell you a story. A story of two alien species so ancient that-</poem><br />
:''[The Dark One attacks his neck and he falls over. The crowd screams and Fry slaps the creature off Hutch's neck.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hutch, are you okay?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': My sister's femi-necklace. ''[He reaches for the necklace lodged in Fry's head.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': What? ''[It is pulled out of his head and he screams.]'' Hey, how come I can't read your thoughts anymore?</poem><br />
:''[Hutch falls dead with a grunt.]''<br />
<poem>'''Encyclopod''': I shall avenge you, Hutch Waterfall.</poem><br />
:''[The Encyclopod fries the Dark One with a laser emitted from his eyes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': After all these eons, the Dark Ones are no more. Will you preserve their DNA, O' Great Encyclopod?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Encyclopod: I suppose I should. Wait, where did it go?</poem><br />
:''[Pan to Zoidberg who is licking his claws.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': What?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Encyclopod''': Well, at any rate, I shall preserve the DNA of Homo sapiens.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Huh. I thought you only saved the DNA of endangered species.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Encyclopod''': Farewell. ''[He flies away.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I guess he didn't hear me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, looks like that wraps everything up in a nice big, old, fat sack of...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp Brannigan''': I hereby arrest you fugitives on 53 counts of fugivity. Kif, round them up, and spare me the weary sigh for once. ''[Pause.]'' Kif?</poem><br />

:''[The ship backs out of the dome and takes off with the Nimbus right behind it, firing wildly.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Well, this is the end. There was so many things I wanted to say to you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Like what?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Like this is not the end. But mostly just, I love you, Leela.</poem><br />
:''[The ship shakes as it is hit by one of the Nimbus' shots.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Maybe I waited too long to say this, but I love you, too- '''wormhole!'''</poem><br />
:''[The ship is heading straight for a worm hole in space.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Sweet topology of cosmology, it's huge!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': If we fly into it, it could take us trillions of light years away. There's no knowing if we'll ever return.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': What do we do? Should we go for it?</poem><br />
:''[Pause in dialogue. Bender gets a beer out of his chest and opens it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Into the breach, meatbags. Or not. Whatever. ''[He starts drinking the beer.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.</poem><br />

<poem>'''[[Hutch Waterfall|Hutch]]''': You need one of these doodangs. ''[He taps on his foil hat.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] (Over chatter)''': A foil hat? ''[Hutch puts his foil hat on Fry's head and the voices quiet.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Truth is, you're a mind reader.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Oh, my God!</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A close up of Amy at a restaurant table]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Amy Wong|Amy]]''': You're having an affair with the head of the robot mafia's wife? ''[Bender and Fanny are seen making out]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A desert on Mars at night. Bender and Fanny are standing in holes. They are illuminated by the Donbot's car headlights.]''<br />

:''[The mafia trio then shoot Fanny and Bender for a while with machine guns.]''<br />
:''[End of opening credits. Billboard lists creators and is crashed into]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The Planet Express ship lands in the desert.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry (Sobbing)''': Poor Bender left me one last voicemail before the Robot Mafia buried him in the desert.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender (On cell phone)''': Fry, old friend, before I die, I just wanted to say... ''[Beep.]'' Hang on, I'm getting another call. Hello? ''[The gun fire commences and Bender screams.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Line up, people! Everyone take a shovel and one sixth of the planet. We'll meet back here in 50 years, our bodies broken and our lives wasted.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': And you say these are free shovels?</poem><br />
:''[There is a rumbling and a hole begins to form in the sand near them. As the dust settles Bender walks out of the hole with Fanny.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'm back, baby.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Bender! I thought the Robot Mafia killed you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Nah, they just shot us and buried us a few times as a warning.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fanny''': Bender was so brave. He never stopped making out with me the whole time they were shooting us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I sure didn't.</poem><br />
:''[Joey Mousepad pulls up with his car in the background.]''<br />

:''['''Scene''': Mr. Wong is playing mini golf at his country club.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': It's a 14-footer with a clown hazard. What club you recommend, Baggy?</poem><br />
'''[[Baggy]]''': As on every hole, I suggest the putter.<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Your golf club sure is classy, Mr. Wong. Naked statue classy.</poem><br />
:''[Mr. Wong putts and ends up far from the hole and curses in Mandarin.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It is very nice. I just wish Amy and I didn't have to wear these sexist badges on our melons. ''[They stand up and show their badges that say "WOMAN."]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': We're lucky even to play as guests, Leela. Dad's club has a very strict "No girls allowed" policy.</poem><br />
:''[Mr. Wong putts again and misses, then curses wildly again.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That doesn't seem fair.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': It really is. Everybody knows women don't have the focus to play miniature golf at a professional level.</poem><br />
:''[Amy makes her putt right through the clown's legs and lands it right next to the hole.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But that's the best shot of the day!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Is that my ball? I think that my ball.</poem><br />
:''[He claims Amy's ball as his own, but still misses his small putt and curses in Mandarin again.]''<br />

<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Okay, we're done.</poem><br />
:''[The sprinklers turn on.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Mr. Wong, how do you keep this place so green in the middle of the desert? Doesn't that waste a lot of water?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Nah, we got plenty water, pumped directly from flamingo lake. ''[The flamingos sitting in the lake are sucked into the drain with all of the water.]'' They'll be fine. ''[Pink feathers are expelled from the sprinklers.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The four are travelling in a golf cart.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Oh, yeah, I love miniature golf. Love everything about it, except how damn miniature it is. That's why I'm building the universe's biggest miniature golf course.</poem><br />
:''[A crane picks up a ball the size of the golf car and drops it into a large cannon.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': This the first tee.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Where's the hole?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': On Pluto's moon, Hydra. It's a six-billion-mile par-two. Tough shot, even for a man. ''[Leela groans. Mr. Wong adjusts the cannon with a dial near the tee. He strikes the button that fires the ball and everybody rushes over to a row of binoculars.]'' '''(Leo VO)''': Around the sun. Bank off Jupiter. And right into the... ''[The ball lands short of the hole and Mr. Wong curses in Mandarin.]'' I'll be right back. ''[He gets in a golf cart that has a dome over it and flies to Hydra. Fry, Leela and Amy watch from the binoculars. Mr. Wong smacks the giant ball his his putter, but it stops on the edge of the hole. He growls and curses in Mandarin. He bounces over to the ball and smacks his with his putter again, then kicks it.]'' It dropped in! Put me down for a two.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Two. ''[She writes down 8.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Keep in mind, that just the first hole. For full course, we gonna bulldoze this entire arm of the Milky Way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What? You're gonna wipe out 10% of the galaxy for a stupid golf course?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': First of all, it 12% . Second, yes, you betcha.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But you have no idea what life forms might be evolving out there.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': That's exactly why I'm hiring an impartial scientist to perform an environmental survey. That's him in the money shower.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth is in the money shower, giggling.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The Planet Express Ship is flying through a field of asteroids. A light from the turret on the ship scans the space boulders for life.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry (VO)''': Delivery boy's log. Having fallen asleep on what I thought was the toilet, I awoke to find the environmental survey in progress.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Status reports, Science Officer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Zilcho. No sign of life or intelligence. ''[He laughs.]'' '''(Telepathically)''': Just like Fry on a date.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He laughs.]'' Hey!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Okay, so we haven't found any life yet. I still don't see why you men can't be happy with regular-sized miniature golf.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Leela, evolution has programmed our fabulous male brains to take anything anybody else thinks is important and make it bigger. ''[He takes a slurp of a "128oz. Big Burp."] ''Have you seen my new 301-inch TV?</poem><br />
:''[He presses a button on a remote and a large TV descends at the front of the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Announcer''': Hypnotoad is brought to you by the MagnaPhallix 302-inch TV. It's bigger!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Oh, hell! ''[He throws his beverage at the TV and it falls apart.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[An alarm sounds.]'' Captain, I'm detecting life on the spock-o-scope!</poem><br />
:''[Leela gasps. The ship hovers over the planet. Cut to a fish-like creature waddles onto land. It uses its fins as feet and walks around. Pan up to flowers blooming and flying insects pollinating them.]'' <br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It's amazing. It's like a textbook on evolution.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Except in Kansas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But isn't Mr. Wong building the 18th hole here? And the golf pants museum?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Indeed so. This whole area will be incinerated when he implodes that sun there into a black hole.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That beautiful violet star?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': It's so you can't keep your ball at the end of the game.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yo, that's messed up.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': There won't be any imploding once they read our environmental review. Right, Professor?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Ohh, twaddle-squat. There's no scientific consensus that life is important.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yeah. Life, schmife.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Clip Board''': ''[Farnsworth checks an option.]'' Approved for demolition.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It's you and me, ponytail. ''[He cracks her pony tail like a whip.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Wongminister Miniature Golf Club. Nixon's head pulls up in a limo.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Guard''': We're here, Mr. President.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Richard Nixon's head]]''': Arroo! Let's play some mini-golf.</poem><br />
:''[The headless body of Agnew, Nixon and Mr. Wong are playing mini-golf. Agnew is putting.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Just give it a light tap, Agnew. ''[Agnew pulls his club up high.]'' No, no, no, just a light...</poem><br />
:''[Agnew grunts and sends the ball hurtling away from the tee. Cut to Zoidberg on a diving board high above a pool.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Now for a triple clam dip, with a double - ''[The ball smashes into his head and knocks him on his back.]'' OW! ''[He falls off the diving board and lands on the concrete surrounding the pool.]'' OW!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Tough luck, Agnew. Looks like you and Wong owe me a Charleston Chew. ''[He laughs.]''</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas blast through a hedge and <br />
<poem>'''Feministas''': Shut up and hear our wisdom. Save the ecosystem. Shut up and hear our wisdom!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': What gives, Wong? You said no chicks allowed.</poem><br />
:''[Agnew growls.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': We are the Greenorita Eco-Feminist Collective, and we will not let you...What was it again?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': We will not let you implode the violet dwarf star at galactic coordinates 167.84, -58.03, mark 948.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Already approved, you cackling hens. So get out, or I'll have vice-president Agnew's headless body throw you out.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I'd like to see him try.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Me, too. Should look funny. Sic 'em, Agnew.</poem><br />
:''[Agnew breaks his club in half and wanders toward the women. Leela bumps into a parked golf cart and causes it to roll down a hill, toward Agnew.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Runaway golf cart!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Look out, Agnew!</poem><br />
:''[Agnew tries to dodge the cart, but it follows his movements and runs him over.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Whoa!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Aah!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Is... is he okay?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': No pulse.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': They killed the headless remains of Agnew. Arrest them!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': All Feministas she-vacuate the premises. I mean "femises."</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas run away and the presidential guards chase after them. One drives the limo over Agnew's body.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express Lounge. Nixon is on TV.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': My fellow Earthicans, these eco-crooks will face the maximum sentence. For killing a headless torso, that's six weeks.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, this is embarrassing. Here I've been blabbing on for years about killing all humans, and who actually does something about it? Some chick.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Leela's not a killer, and she's not some chick. She's the chick I love. And don't tell her I called her a chick, or she'll kill me.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A hover-copter flows over the city with search lights. The Feministas are hiding in a building with the sign "Eco-Feminist Reading Room" in the window. When the spotlight passes over it, a Feminista switches it to "Something even less popular."]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Frida (through her megaphone)''': Everyone stay absolutely quiet!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Feminista''': That thing's on. Shh!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Feminista''': Turn it off!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida (through megaphone)''': Oh, sorry.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': How do you turn it off?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida (through megaphone)''': There. Did that do it?</poem><br />
<poem>'''OTHERS''': No. Stop it. Shut up.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Here's the button here. ''[An alarm starts wailing from the megaphone.]'' '''(Through megaphone)''': And I think I... Now I got it.</poem><br />
:''[The megaphone squeals with feedback.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Let me give you a hand.</poem><br />
:''[She pushes a button and it turns off. Frida "shushes" her.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': This is awful. I never meant for our protest to have any effect.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Trixie]]''': Maybe we should just surrender and serve our six weeks in jail.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Dixie]]''': Hey, yeah! We could do each other's toenails and make shivs.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That's crazy. We've done nothing wrong, other than killing and dismembering the vice-president. We need to make a choice, sisters. We can either keep pestering criminals like Leo Wong with silly slogans...</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Yeah. Let's do that.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Actually, I meant that to be the less preferable alternative. We can either chant slogans or we can take action.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dixie''': What was the first choice again?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I choose to save the environment by sabotaging Leo Wong's golf course. Who's with me?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Could we still use our bullhorns?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Absolutely. Bullhorns are a core principle of eco-feminism.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Then I'm in.</poem><br />
:''[They all cheer, then Frida shushes them through her megaphone.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The Feminista's vehicle (A VW Camper) is travelling through space.]<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Who's ready to kick some sweaty man-butt?</poem><br />
:''[They cheer.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dixie''': I've got my pointy man-kicking shoes on.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Trixie''': Those are cute.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dixie''': Aren't they? I got them at Nine West.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Simmer down, warriors. Full power to the vagyroscope!</poem><br />
:''[Cut to a street sweeper-like vehicle cleaning up the rings around a planet.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Those dirty rings. I tried soaking them out, even blasting them out.</poem><br />
:''[The Camper stops near the cleaning vehicle. Leela and Frida emerge and pour sugar in the fuel filler.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Are you sure about this? It would be better for propaganda if we weren't using refined sugar.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It's okay. The potato we're shoving in the tailpipe is organic.</poem><br />
:''[She clogs the tail pipe and fly away. The cleaner breaks down.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': I smell sabotage. ''[He sniffs.]'' Ooh, and potatoes.</poem><br />
:''[The girls cheer as they fly away from the planet.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Now, unfortunately, the media is going to put a negative spin on this, like when we killed that guy, so to win public support, we'll need a lovable mascot.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Zoidberg is in a room alone with the muck leech. It is in a glass terrarium in the lounge at Planet Express.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': :''[He picks it up and laughs.]'' Squirm all you want, you nasty dumpling. One less species for the universe, one more breakfast for...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Zoidberg?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Leela. Me saving things the leech. Not the eating of it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Zoidberg, I'm very surprised at you, slightly.</poem><br />
:''[Leela lets the leech clamp onto her arm and Zoidberg stares, then slurps at it. Cut to Leela leaving Planet Express.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Psst! Leela.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Shh! I'm a fugitive.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I know. I miss you so much, Leela, even more than when you were here.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I miss you, too, Fry. And you probably think what I'm doing is wrong. But it's something I really care about...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You don't have to explain, Leela. You're you. That's all I need to know.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Goodbye, sweet goofbag.</poem><br />
:''[She walks over to the Camper, knocks twice and gets pulled in. They fly away. Zoom out of just Fry standing on the sidewalk to show Zoidberg and Bender are there as well.]'' <br />
<poem>'''Bender''': :''[He sighs.]'' I'll miss her, too, buddy. Dibs on her iPod.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Dibs on her- ohh...</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Fry is walking through the streets of New New York. He comes upon Hutch drinking a bottle of wine in an alley.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Hey, Fry! Long time, man.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hey, Hutch! What have you been up to?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Same old, same old. Searching the dumpsters, protecting my thoughts with tin foil, peeing myself.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': So, what brings you to Earth?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': It's top secret. Hey, take off your helmet and I'll think it to you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Okay. Here goes.</poem><br />
:''[Fry removes his hat and is bottled by Hutch. Hutch walks over to a dumpster, knocks twice and it mechanically opens. There is a bright light emitted from it. He throws Fry's limp body in and follows. The lid closes as he gets in. Cut to Fry waking up on a mattress.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Where are you? And me?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': The Great Hall of the Ancient Legion of Madfellows. Welcome, bro.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Welcome, bro.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Sorry I bashed your head in, buddy, but I had to. You see, the fate of the universe depends on you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yeah, I get that a lot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': The Grand Curator will tell you more.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Take me to him.</poem><br />
:''[He is the man behind Hutch.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Hey, man.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hey.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': So dig this, Fry. Our commune has been monitoring the universe's life energy for, like, a really long time, and we're grokking some super weird junk.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Um, I don't mean to be rude, but it's kind of hard to take you seriously when you say junk like "grok" and "junk."</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''' : What about "commune"?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Especially "commune." Come on, it's the fate of the universe, puff it up a little. Like you could say your ancient order is sensing deep upheaval in the cosmic life energy field.</poem><br />
:''[Everybody murmurs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Okay. I'll try. So, like, a really, really long time ago... ''[Fry motions "longer" with his hands.]'' Eons ago! ''[Fry gives a thumbs up and he giggles.]'' Cool. Eons ago, the life force we call Chee permeated the universe. ''[He presses a button and a hologram is shown in the room.]'' The Green Chee generated a great upwelling of life across the cosmos. But then, for reasons unknown...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Ooh. "Reasons unknown." Now that's the sort of hook that grabs the attention of me, the viewer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': For reasons unknown...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Nice.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': ...the Chee began to recede, and the diversity of life began to wither. The life forms we know today are but a fraction of a fraction of the magnificence that once existed.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': But a bunch of dudes, right, they totally passed this far-out knowledge down through the ages.</poem><br />
:''[The holograms shows previous Madfellows proclaiming the word with their tin foil hats on.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine (VO)''': Some with this knowledge were called prophets, some, fruitcakes. We, the Legion of Madfellows, are their heirs.</poem><br />
:''[The current Legion of Madfellows is shown in the hologram.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hey, I'm on TV. ''[He waves.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Well, that's the show. ''[He turns off the hologram.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Neat. What's it got to do with me?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Ahh, pooperdoodle! I mean, pardon the omission. You see, after untold eternities, we have sensed a resurgence in the Chee.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hey, that's the violet dwarf star that Leela wants to save.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Freaking nailed it, corndog.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': We believe this star heralds a new green age, and it's your destiny to be its shepherd and protector.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Me? Why?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': 'Cause you got, like, no delta brainwave, man. The Dark Ones can't groove off your thoughts.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Silence, Hutch! For now, let's just say we have enemies, enemies who can read minds, except yours. ''[He points with his foot.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Cool. I can't wait to tell Leela.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': No! If you tell anyone, then their thoughts could be read. For the sake of those you love, you must keep this secret. Do you foot-swear?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Oh, okay. I foot-swear.</poem><br />
:''[They perform a "foot shake" agreeing to the terms.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Good. Now, to save the coming of the green age, you must stop this man.</poem><br />
:''[Mr. Wong is shown on the hologram.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I know him. Leo Wong. I work with his daughter.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Oh, good, that will cut about 15 minutes of explanation. You must gain Wong's confidence, infiltrate his organization and prevent him from destroying the violet dwarf.</poem><br />
:''[Fry salutes Nine with his foot. The act is reciprocated.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Fry is in Mr. Wong's office at the Wongminister Miniature Golf Club.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Looking for a job, eh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yes, sir. Nothing fancy. I'm willing to start at the bottom and infiltrate my way up.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Sorry, no openings right now. '''(Telepathically)'': What I need is security guard to keep nutcases out of my office.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I'm good at keeping nutcases.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': I said no way. ''(Telepathically)'': This idiot don't look like he could handle those feministas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I look like an idiot who can handle those feministas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr Wong (Telepathically)''': He'll have to do better than that.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I'll have to do better than that.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Hmm. You and I think a lot alike. You really think you can stand up to those eco-freakos?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Sir, with me around, they'll be the least of your worries.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The 18th hole of Mr. Wong's course. It's a mess of tubes leading to the green from a giant plastic gorilla head.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Tester''': Stand by, men. And manly aliens. Prepare to test fire King Kong hole.</poem><br />
:''[The manly alien launches the ball at the gorilla. It goes into his mouth and comes out on the green, rolling into the hole for an ace.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Sal]]''': It workses.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Tester''': Good job, men. And manly aliens. Construction of King Kong hole complete.</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas' camper is approaching in the background.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Typical. Always King Kong, never Queen... Quong.</poem><br />
:''[A few Feministas leap from the Camper onto the green and plant hooks in the turf and the bumper of their vehicle.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': What are those, hooks? Get out of heres, you hookers.</poem><br />
:''[The Camper blats off from the green, pulling the turf with it and sending the asteroid, which the green was placed on, spinning out of control and smashing into the tubes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': ''[He's flying through space.]'' Helpses!</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas cheer as they spray the gorilla head with make-up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You go, gorilla !</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A news broadcast. The vandalized gorilla is used as an image on the story.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Morbo]]''': Our top story. The string of eco-vandalism that began with a harmless vice-presidential killing has spread across the galaxy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Linda]]''': Why do you always get to read the top story, Morbo?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': Because viewers trust a deep male voice and huge, throbbing forehead veins. ''[They pulse in unison a few times.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Linda''': Not all reaction to the crime spree has been negative. We spoke with several people who viewed these courageous eco-feminists as heroes.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Petunia]]''': I just wish there was some way to... Excuse me. ''[She coughs roughly.]'' Some way to show I support 'em. Send them some smokes or something.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Linda''': This just in: Root 2 News has received a video communique from the eco-feminists' unknown hideout.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': This is sub-commander L., with a message for Leo Wong. Leo, you're a parasite on the universe, and parasites must be destroyed. That's why we've adopted this parasite as our mascot. ''[The leech snarls against the glass of its case.]'' I know it's a little confusing. The point is, even this vicious leech has a right to exist. And that's why a vicious leech like Leo Wong must be exterminated. ''[The Feministas in the background cheer.]'' Again, confusing. Feministas unite! ''[They pound their breasts twice and throw their fists into the air while reciting that last bit.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': In other news- ''[Linda throws her high heel at his head and it becomes lodged in his head.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Linda''': Feministas unite!</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Wongminister Miniature Golf Club. Mr. Wong is in his office with Nixon.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Linda (on the TV)''': Feministas unite! ''[The image is paused.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Incredible. Absolutely incredible. You're telling me this TiVo machine can pause and rewind live TV?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': These crazy broads gonna ruin me, Nixon. You gotta help me. Send the army or something. Something big that shoots.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Sir, I don't care if you are my biggest contributor. Our armed forces do not serve your private business interests.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Sorry, I...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': ''[He laughs hysterically.]'' I'm just yanking your chain, Leo. I'm on it like boring on Gerry Ford.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The White House Oval Office. Nixon and Mr. Wong are present.]''<br />

<poem>'''[[Zapp Brannigan]]''': Zapp Brannigan purporting for duty. For the love of God, Kif, less piccolo, more fife.</poem><br />
:''[Kiff is playing many instruments as a one-man band. He sighs at Zapp's demand.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Report, Brannigan.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': Mr. President, I failed to identify these curvaceous banditas despite hours of staring at their dossiers. ''[There is a picture of Leela from behind on the cover of the file folder.]'' Yet, I seemed to have stroked myself upon good luck, for a patriot of the highest order has volunteered to lead us to them.</poem><br />
:''[Kif performs a drum roll and Bender walks into the room.]''<br />

It aired 13 May, 2001 on FOX. It guest stars [[Lucy Liu's Head|Lucy Liu]] as herself in a [[Head Jars|jar]] as well the [[Liubot]]s. [[Philip J.

The discontent of the other characters leads to an investigation, which reveals the sinister nature of the corporation providing the celebrity personalities.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "I want to see the edge of the universe!" ===<br />
The crew is watching [[The Scary Door#Episode 2|The Scary Door]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] enters to try to convince them that the future is far better than his time. They decide to do (almost) everything Fry ever dreamed of. After travelling to the end of the universe, blowing up a planet and riding a dinosaur, Fry decides the last thing he wishes to do is to be romantically linked with a celebrity.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "On to the internet you go!" ===<br />
Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] go online and locate nappster.com, where Fry chooses to download Lucy Liu. The download is successful and Fry falls for the [[Lucy Liu's Head#Liubot|Liubot]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Humans dating robots is sick!" ===<br />
The crew considers the relationship sick. They try to make him end the relationship, and show him a [[Instructional Movies#I Dated A Robot|propaganda film]] which shows that humans dating robots will lead to disaster. The film has no effect on Fry, who is busy making out with the Liubot. Leela, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] head off to shut down nappster.com, where it is revealed that the company (secretly known as kidnappster.com) is holding various heads in jars hostage in order to scan them to create the robot duplicates, [[Lucy Liu's Head|Liu]] having been there 800 years. The three rescue Lucy Liu's Head and escape. Kidnappster sends Liubots to kill them.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Bender don't bend that way!" ===<br />
The real Lucy Liu is apparently attracted to Bender. A swarm of Liubots begin attacking. They hide in a movie theatre, where they find Fry and his Liubot on a date. The swarm enters and continues its rampage. Fry leads Bender, Leela, Zoidberg, Lucy and his Liubot to the projection room. The Lius prepare to enter through the window, but are stopped by a huge quantity of popcorn, until the swarm begins shooting the popcorn back.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "Massive corn clog in port seven!" ===<br />
Fry's Liubot sacrifices herself to destroy the others and save Fry. Bender and Lucy admit their feelings for one another, much to Fry's disappointment.<br />

<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*Lucy Liu returns in "[[Love and Rocket]]".<br />
*While there are currently only the two [[Parallel universes|alternate universes]], many parallel ones come into existence in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]".<br />
*Bender refers to [[robosexual|robosexuals]] in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", it is possible that this is a reference to a romantic relationships between a human and a robot as seen in this episode.<br />
*Bender later develops a robosexual relationship with [[Amy Wong]] and is a key player in the passing of [[Proposition ∞]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*Lucy Liu parodies her successful ''Charlie's Angels'' movies, reprising her role in the 2007 classic ''Charlie's Angels III: The Legend of Charlie's Gold'' (which features a vampire ''and'' an explosion)<br />
**The title is based on ''City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold''<br />
*A large focus on the copyright infringement issues causing problems for Napster<br />
*"We would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling adults!" - similar line (with kids instead of adults) is found in most episodes of ''Scooby Doo''.<br />
*''[[The Scary Door]]'' segment includes several references to ''{{w|The Twilight Zone}}'' episodes:<br />
**"{{w|Nightmare at 20,000 Feet}}" - Smith's "there's a gremlin destroying the plane, you gotta believe me!"<br />
**"{{w|A Nice Place To Visit}}" - A dead man thinking he's in heaven because he gets everything he wanted (a casino where he's actually winning) but finding out that's boring and maybe it's hell, also a {{w|Sebastian Cabot}}-like man<br />
**"{{w|The Man in the Bottle}}" - One of the main character's wishes was to be a world leader that can't be replaced, so the genie makes him [[Adolf Hitler]]<br />
*Fry and the Liubot visit [[Dinkin' Donuts]], which refers to the doughnut chain {{w|Dunkin' Donuts}} and former New York mayor {{w|David Dinkins}} (whose picture is on the store marquee).<br />
*At one point, Bender acts in the manner of Archie Bunker from ''All in the Family'' and even sits in Archie's trademark living room chair.<br />
*When Leela, Bender, and Zoidberg prepare to leave Napster with Lucy Liu's head, George Michael's head responds, "Please pick me up before you go-go". A reference to the Wham song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The jar holding Lucy Liu's head seems to change sizes between scenes for the last act. It goes from being roughly the size of Bender's compartment when he tosses Pavarotti to make room for her, to being slightly smaller than the compartment when Lucy gives Fry the speech about illegal downloading, to being larger when Bender's holding her next to him after Fry erases the last Liubot.<br />
*After the Liubots tear through the cinema screen, the exact same scene that had just happened is shown, albeit blurred onscreen. However, this may just be to make fun of the repetitive nature of the film.<br />

'''Boomsday!''' is the fifty-eighth [[comic]] issue, released November, 2011 in the US. <!-- insert brief plot summary here --><br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I ===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] introduces [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] to the parents [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] built for him as Bender was complaining that, unlike [[humans]], [[robots]] didn't get their own parents. They promptly introduce new rules and begin embarrassing him. the four return to the [[Apartment 00100100|apartment]], and Fry calls the Professor to complement him on the new robots. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] runs in to tell the Professor that his [[doomsday device]]s have all been stolen. He dismisses the idea that Bender stole them as his new parents have spy cameras in them. Bender starts to feel upset about all of his parents' rules, so his dad plays a game of catch with him to make him feel better. As the burglar alarm's memory has been wiped, Farnsworth heads to the bad part of town to question the [[Robot Mafia]]. Bender tries to rebel against his parents by sneaking out with Fry, they decide Fry is a bad influence and leave him outside overnight. Farnsworth questions [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]], who also isn't the culprit. In the morning Bender is caught talking to Fry, who spent the night in an [[owl]] nest. His parents make him decide between Fry and them. Fry is tossed out of the building.<br />
<br />
=== Act II ===<br />
At [[Momcorp]], [[Igner]] asks about the doomsday devices. [[Mom]] recognises that Igner would have said it differently and pulls the mask off of Farnsworth. The real Igner enters and screams, thinking that his face has fallen off. Mom no longer has any doomsday devices as they remind her of [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|her relationship with Farnsworth]], but she reminds him that he installed tracking devices in all of them. Bender apologises to Fry, but says he wants his parents to be proud of him and they can't hang out. Farnsworth and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] track the doomsday devices to an asteroid. The thief is revealed to be [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]], who has stolen them so that he'll have the largest collection in the universe and to be able to impress Shirley, who works in the [[Mars University (place)|university]] cafeteria. The poor shielding on Wernstrom's devices has caused him to go crazy. Bender tries to train a parrot to act and dress like Fry and his parents catch him. Bender finally stands up to them and they are proud that he has grown up. They shut themselves down. Farnsworth tricks Wernstrom into using a specific doomsday device, which destroys all the other doomsday devices. Leela escapes the ropes and kicks Wernstrom in the head. Farnsworth downloads Bender's parents' personality chips into Bender's phone, he starts ignoring their calls.<br />

'''[[Farnsworth]]''': It's been fifty years since I've done anything quickly!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Good. The atmosphere seems to be breathable.<br />
'''[[Leela]]''': We really should start checking that before we step outside of the ship.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': [[Mom|You]] left a black hole in my heart. ''And'' in the {{w|Virgo Cluster}} when you finally set the [[Doomsday devices|device]] off.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': You know, this is a good excuse to start building a new doomsday device. Maybe with a disco ball and a shark fin on top. Of course, that's probably the gamma madness talking.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Bender]]''': ''"HRRRUMPH!"''<br />
'''Bender's Mother''': What's wrong, son? You're not still angry we grounded you for a week?<br />
'''Bender''': It's not fair! All ''I'' did was hold up a liquor store. All my friends were doing it.<br />
'''[[Fry]]''': Not me.<br />
'''Bender''': All my ''cool'' friends!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': It's just... I've always wanted someone to say they were proud of me, and this seems like my only chance.<br />
'''Fry''': ''I'm'' proud of you!<br />
'''Bender''': I mean someone who matters!</poem><br />

<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*In a flashback to a young [[Mom]] and [[The Professor|Professor]] eating dinner at a fancy restaurant, [[Elzar]] can be seen working as a young waiter, when he overhears Mom say the word "Bam!", to which he responds: "Bam! I like the sound of that!". "Bam!" is of course Elzar's catchphrase.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is the last comic to feature an opening caption on the cover.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*Bender's parents are references to the robot from ''{{w|Lost in Space}}'' and Rosie from ''{{w|The Jetsons}}''.<br />
*Cheney accidentally shoots Nixon, this is a reference to when Dick Cheney {{w|Dick_Cheney_hunting_incident|shot a friend while hunting}}.<br />
*In reference to ''{{w|Doctor Who}}''; the box Fry briefly lives in is labelled "Contents: One TARDIS" and is bigger on the inside.<br />
*Wernstrom says "Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom!", a slightly abbreviated version of {{w|Marvin the Martian}}'s catch phrase.<br />
*A poster for the 1975 thriller movie ''{{w|Jaws (film)|Jaws}}'' can be seen in [[Apartment 00100100|Fry and Bender's apartment]].<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*While all robots do share [[Mom]], it is not entirely true that they don't have parents, [[Emotitron Jr.]], [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.]] and [[Crushinator's daughter]] have all been seen with parents. Bender has even identified a robot assembly arm as [[Bender's mother|his mother]].<br />

{{update}}<br />
'''The Sun Also Raises!''' is the sixty-fifth [[comic]] issue, released 30 January, 2013 in the US. <!-- insert brief plot summary here --><br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
The stakes have never been higher when the [[Planet Express]] [[crew]] needs to deliver a check to an alien race to pay the [[Earth]]'s solar power bill. But it is going to take a little gamesmanship and even more dumb luck to prevent another planetary Ice Age. Fortunately, [[Bender]] and [[Fry]] have both -- in spades.<br />
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*This story will be released in UK issue #66, but it is currently unknown what the other story is; the description for this comic in the back of UK #65 only notes the plot of this story and below it, where the description of the other plot should be, a basic description of a plot for the other story. Because of this, it is possible that the story in US issue [[Secret Santa|#64]] will not be featured in this comic, and the story from US issue [[Futurama Comics 66|#66]] will be published in UK #66. If this proves to be true, this will mark the second time in which UK releases have skipped an Xmas story.<br />

"'''Future Stock'''" is the fifty-third episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twenty-first of [[Season 3|the third production season]] and the ninth of [[Broadcast season 4|the fourth broadcast season]]. It aired 31 March, [[2002]] on FOX. [[Planet Express]] is taken over by [[Steve Castle|That Guy]], who improves the company's image, but he decides to [[Mom buying Planet Express|sell]] it to [[Mom]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Awesome! Awesome to the max!" ===<br />
[[Planet Express]]' stockholder meeting is taking place at the [[New New York#Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn|Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn]], and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] get hungry and visit the [[Religion#Bot-Mizwah|Bot-Mizwah]] next door to get some free food, though Zoidberg is not allowed in (shellfish are not kosher). [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] tells the stockholders of Planet Express that the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, while Fry moves on to a Cryogenic Support Group which also offers free food. <br />
There Fry meets [[That Guy]], a 1980s stockbroker who had himself frozen to await a cure for his terminal [[boneitis]]. Feeling compassion for his contemporary, Fry invites him to work for Planet Express, and they return to the stockholder meeting where [[Hattie McDoogal]] is demanding to nominate a new CEO because the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] has insulted her cat. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], Bender, Amy, Hermes and the Professor (10,000 shares each) vote for Farnsworth, while Fry (10,000 shares), [[Scruffy]] (40,000 shares) and Hattie (1 share) vote for That Guy, making him the new CEO of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I am proud to be the shepherd of this herd of sharks" ===<br />
That Guy is turning Planet Express upside down and blaming everything on the old management, that is, the Professor. He makes Fry his vice-chairman and intends to bring Planet Express right to the top of the delivery business, which means that they have to attack ''[[Mom]]'s Friendly Delivery Company''. Of course, Mom is not amused to learn this. That Guy follows his secret of success, which is that everything is about appearances, and gives Planet Express a completely new look and a completely new image. Zoidberg is not happy about the company's development, and sells all his shares to That Guy for a sandwich. Mom is getting agitated about the new "Delivery Kings" that business magazines write about so much (even if PlanEx hasn't made even one single delivery since the takeover), and has a private meeting with That Guy after they have a talk at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. As the crew is voicing their concerns about the way That Guy is handling business, and Fry is defending him, That Guy tells them they are all fired and that Mom is going to take over Planet Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "My only regret is... that I have... boneitis." ===<br />
Fry insists that he is innocent of the selling of the company, but no one listens to him. He decides to block the takeover, and goes to the [[Intergalactic Stock Exchange]] in [[Earth]]s orbit where the takeover is to take place in the Business Centre. All of PlanEx's stockholders are there, plus Mom, [[Walt, Larry and Igner|her three sons]] and That Guy. Both companies have to agree to the takeover, and even though all of the Planet Express crew vote against it, it turns out that the shares Zoidberg sold to That Guy gave him majority control. The takeover is approved, and [[MomCorp]] now wants to buy all the shares it doesn't own at the price of $107 per share, which makes every remaining stockholder a millionaire. Fry asks That Guy if he will not stop the takeover, but he refuses because he's an 80's guy. Suddenly, every bone in That Guy's body starts to snap and bend—it turns out that he was so busy being an 80's guy that he forget to get the cure for his boneitis—and his body rapidly contorts itself through several bone-breaking poses before he dies. After his death, Fry gains control of his shares and makes a speech about how what really counts is friendship, which is more important than money - and as he makes the speech the value of the shares gradually crashes down until it reaches $0.03 per share. The crew tries to stop him doing the right thing, but it is too late - the shares of Planet Express are, once again, worthless and Fry rejects the takeover, as they have nothing left to gain from it. The crew grudgingly goes back to work.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Bot-Mitzvah.png|thumb|right|!היומ אתה רובות]]<br />
*At the Bot-Mitzvah, the banner reads "'''היום אתה רובוט'''" (''hayom attah robot'') with two misspellings, which translates to "today, you are a robot".<br />
*That Guy and Fry get their new suits at ''Giorgio Amonster''.<br />
*[[Jackie Anderson]] and the [[Pawnbroker]] are at the ape fight.<br />
*The man from the 80's is listed in the script as "Steve Castle", but is only ever referred to in dialog as "that guy".<br />
*Had the sale of Planet Express gone ahead as planned, That Guy would have made around $11.16m, Scruffy would have made $4.28m, Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Amy and the Professor would each earn $1.07m, Hattie would get $107, and Zoidberg would be left with the rotting sandwich he swapped his shares for.<br />
*Apparently, Decapodians can tolerate expired food more than humans.<br />
*When the professor hands Steve Castle his business/escape plans, he notes that he keeps it next to his heart. If you look closely at the open drawer, there's a partial picture of an actual heart in a jar there.<br />

=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Scruffy''': Now hold on there. Scruffy votes his forty thousand shares for the mysterious stranger.<br />
'''Leela''': Forty thousand? How come you have four times as much stock as the rest of us?<br />
'''Scruffy''': Scruffy believes in this company. ''*sniffles*''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh my god! I'm a millionare! Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax!</poem><br />
<poem>'''That Guy''': There are two kinds of people. Sheep and sharks. Anyone who is a sheep is fired. Who is a sheep?<br />
'''Zoidberg''': Errr, excuse me... which is the one people like to hug?<br />
'''That Guy''': Gutsy question, you're a shark.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': We can't compete with Mom! Her company is big and evil! Ours is small and neutral!<br />
'''That Guy''': Switzerland is small and neutral! We are more like Germany, ambitious and misunderstood!<br />
'''Amy''': Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of will?</poem><br />

<poem>'''That Guy''': ''[Checking his new business suit.]'' That's what I call a hostile makeover!</poem><br />

<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The PlanEx logo in the commercial looks a lot like the ''FedEx'' logo.<br />
*The PlanEx commercial is a parody of that of Apple Computers in 1984. And the fact that the crew hates the commercial is a reference to Apple Computers' own opinion of the commercial which only aired once; during the Super Bowl.<br />
*During the voting for the future of Planet Express--with the option of two buttons, one in favour, the other opposed--Mom's son Igner is confused and inexplicably registers a vote for "{{w|Pat Buchanan}}", in reference to the infamous Florida voting controversy of the 2000 U.S. Presidential election. With everyone staring angrily at Igner, he says in his defence "the ballot was confusing," thus making fun of the Election even more.<br />
*In the scene where "That Guy" and Fry are watching an ape fight, [[Calculon]] is struck by an oversize tricycle hurled from the ring. His angry "Get your stinkin' trike off me, you damn dirty ape!" is an obvious parody of George Taylor's line "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" from the 1968 film ''{{w|Planet of the Apes}}''.<br />
*The stock exchange space station shows stock abbreviations including RUN and DMC (in reference to hip-hop group {{w|Run-D.M.C.}}), {{w|James T. Kirk|KIRK}}, {{w|Gorn|GORN}}, and {{w|Q (Star Trek)|Q}} ([[Star Trek]] references), and FOX ([[20th Century Fox]], the producer of ''[[Futurama]]''), the last showing a loss of 61 points. OSX and WIN also appears (references to {{w|Mac OS X}} and {{w|Microsoft Windows}} respectively, interestingly, OSX have gone up, while WIN have gone down).<br />
*The station's appearance, as well as a waltz playing on the soundtrack, is a reference to a similar scene in the film ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]''. The exchange's giant-image holographic public-address system ("I am Jor-El, Master of Scheduling!") is a reference to a scene in the 1978 ''{{w|Superman (film)|Superman}}'' film, featuring a character named {{w|Jor-El}} and a tribunal of larger-than-life projected faces.<br />
*"That Guy" had a ''{{w|Miami Vice}}'' lunchbox.<br />
*A stock broker robot orders to "Sell one hundred [[soylent products|soylent beans]]!", referring to the movie ''{{w|Soylent Green}}''.<br />
*That Guy says that this company (Planet Express) is gonna get up and stay up like {{w|Cyndi Lauper}} which is a reference to Lauper's great popularity in the 80's, That Guy's time span, and decline after the 90's.<br />
*When That Guy is about to sell Planet Express he says "It's Hammertime" a catchphrase inspired by popular 90's musician, {{w|MC Hammer}}.<br />
*Amy asks "Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of will?", a reference to the 1934 Nazi propaganda film {{w|Triumph of the Will}}.<br />
*The shop where Fry and That Guy buy their tuxeedos is called ''Giorgio Armonster'', a reference to fine clothes and perfume shop ''{{w|Giorgio Armani}}''.<br />
*Scruffy reads the ''National Pornographic'' which looks a lot like a ''National Geographic'' publication.<br />
*The businessman from the 1980s is loosely based on the character of Gordon Gekko from the movie ''Wall Street''. In turn, Gekko was modelled after real world corporate raider Ivan Boesky. That Guy's real name in the scripts was Steve Castle.<br />
*That Guy's plan to boost PlanEx's "image" in order to sell the worthless company that does nothing's stocks off at exorbitant prices is a direct satire of the Enron scandal.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The banner written in Hebrew at the Bot-Mitzvah is spelled incorrectly. It reads "היומ אתה רובות", when it should be "היו'''ם''' אתה רובו'''ט'''" (''hayom attah robot'', "today you are a robot").<br />
*Although Zoidberg trades all his Planet Express shares for a sandwich, he is seen with a vote remote and casts a 'No' vote for Mom's hostile takeover.<br />
**Zoidberg could be allowed to vote, but would have no impact since he sold all of his shares. <br />
*When the crew goes into Fry's office, the picture of [[Steve Castle|That Guy]] hanging on the wall doesn't have a pocket handkerchief in his jacket pocket, but, when it is shown later in the scene, it does.<br />
**Also, when the crew goes into the office, there are camera views both behind Fry (from his perspective) and looking onto him (the crew's perspective). In one of the cuts from one camera to another, it shows Fry's hair slicked back, then in his usual spiked-up style, and then again slicked back.<br />
*According to Hermes, when the value of the shares drops to $0.03 it is "worth less than when it was worthless." Zoidberg had 51% of all shares, more than 100,001 (Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Amy and the Professor's 10,000 each, Scruffy's 40,000 and Hattie's one). At 3 cents per share, that means he had more than $3,000 which Hermes just gave away as toilet paper. It seems out of character for Hermes to lose track of how much money he is actually giving away.<br />

Zoom into the largest celestial body in the system and into a bubbling pool of liquid in a crater where a strand of DNA is formed. The strand fades into a roller coaster track in Mars Vegas. Some of the Planet Express crew and other characters fly across the screen in a roller coaster car.

<poem>'''[[Seth MacFarlane]] (singing)''': You and I will be reborn,<br />
In a future place and time,<br />
If everything our Hindu brethren say is true.<br />
In an age of things that hover,<br />
You and I will still be lovers,<br />
And we'll say to ourselves<br />
That was then and this is, too.<br />
'Cause we'll still find the happening hot spots,<br />
We'll still cruise the cool casinos.<br />
You'll still fly me to the moon,<br />
Although the moon to which you fly me,<br />
Could be Phobos or Deimos.<br />
The psychic worms from Rigel Nine,<br />
Who control everything we do,<br />
Will make us think that was then,<br />
And 3010 is exactly the same as 1962.<br />
Don't expect any changes, my friend,<br />
That was then and this is, too.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A hover grand stand is filled with a crowd of people who overlook Mars Vegas from far away.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Bender]]''': Wow, Mars Vegas. Long live the eternal city.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Leo and Inez Wong|Mr. Wong]]''': Two, one, zero!</poem><br />
:''[He pushes down a plunger and Mars Vegas is levelled by a large explosion.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Rest in hell, Crapville!</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A large worm moves through the desert of Mars.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Leo and Inez Wong|Mrs. Wong]]''': Out here in the desert, we’re gonna build bigger, better Vegas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Bathtubs size of oceans, hookers size of bouncers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[He blubbers.]'' Hamburger!</poem><br />
:''[The worm has stopped at a station.]''<br />
<poem>'''Worm Announcer''': Stand clear of the closing jaws.</poem><br />
:''[He makes a "bing bong" noise as the passengers disembark.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The group stands in a construction site of a new hotel.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yo, you need any girders bent, I know a guy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Amy Wong]]''': So what's gonna be over there, Dad?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': That? That the oasis. ''[A bulldozer destroys a small area of trees and grass. A tree was missed, so a man sets it on fire with a flame thrower.]'' Future site of Oasis Hotel. ''[He laughs.]'' Take that, you stupid Mother Nature.</poem><br />
: ''[A car door closes. Pan over to the Feministas standing behind the caution perimeter with protest signs.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Frida Waterfall]]''': Okay. Let's hit him hard.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Feministas''': This land is your land. This land is my land</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Fry]]''': Who are you noisy women?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': I'm Frida Waterfall, leader of the Greenorita Eco-Feminist Collective, and we will not let you man-doze this beautiful gyno-desert.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Well, I'm Leo Wong, and I say, "Boom!"</poem><br />
:''[He pushes down a plunger and the Feministas are send flying into the air from an explosion. Everybody else laughs as they fall back to the surface. Frida lands on Fry and it is revealed that her Femi-necklace has lodged in his brain. Everybody gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Hey, what happened to my femi-necklace? And where's my mega-fem?</poem><br />
:''[The megaphone hits her in the head and she is knocked out. Zoidberg rushes to Fry with a stethoscope.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Professor Farnsworth]]''': Is he badly hurt, Dr. Zoidberg?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Zoidberg]]''': I don't quite know how to say this. ''(Sobbing:)'' Fry is dead!</poem><br />
:''[Everybody starts sobbing, but then Fry groans and wakes up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Wait, not dead. The other thing.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Damn eco-broads! You can't even spray for eagles without upsetting these kooks. ''[He sprays a tree and two eagles fall out, then a cave man falls out.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Leela]]''': Now, hang on. Before you do construction, don't you have to make sure you're not harming any native species?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': You mean, cursory environmental survey? Already done! By top scientist.</poem><br />
:''[He interrupts Farnsworth counting a wad of cash.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Err, what? Oh, my, yes. You've got the go-ahead, Mr. Wong. This place is deader than last year's cat.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': No, it's not! There's precious life right here in this scum puddle. ''[He holds up a desert muck leech.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Ah! Cyprinodon martius. The desert muck leech. Amazingly, the entire species lives in this one tiny stink hole. ''(To Mr. Wong:)'' Killing these will be so much easier than exterminating those ponies.</poem><br />
:''[He imitates a pony, then imitates a machine gun, then imitates a dying pony.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Wait a second. Leeches may not be cuddly like pandas or tribbles, but these poor endangered creatures deserve... ''[She pets the leech, it makes a noise and then it bites and clamps onto her neck.]'' Get off me! ''[She throws it to the ground.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'll get it with my trusty foot cups: Stompy and Smashy.</poem><br />
:''[Bender tries repeatedly to squish the creature, but Leela bends over to stop him from trying.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': No, don't kill it! We have to...</poem><br />
:''[When she bends over, the leech bites onto her neck again. She runs off-screen screaming. Mr. Wong is seen pouring a bag of Poison Cement into the hole the leech came from. He then directs a large parking lot paving machine to roll over the area.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': There. They're not endangered anymore. They're extinct. ''[He chuckles.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': No, they're not. I saved this one. And I'm gonna raise it and care for it, so the world will forever know what it's lost. ''[The leech then bites her eye and she screams.]'' You freaking slime wad! ''[She pulls is off her eye and stomps on it, then stops.]'' No. I killed it. It was the last of its kind. ''[The creature comes back to life and bites onto her knee.]'' Mother-''(bleep)''. Let go of me, you... ''[She holds her leg up and fries the leech with a laser from her Wristlomojacker.]'' Poor thing.</poem><br />
:''[It flies back at her neck and clamps on again. She screams as the camera pans over the Mr. Wong and Fry. Mr. Wong kicks Fry's leg twice to wake him up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Tell you what, Fry. You all promise not to sue me, I give you token for free entry in poker tournament. ''[He slips a poker chip into Fry's pocket on his shirt while Fry is still somewhat unconscious.]'' He took it, you all saw it!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Maybe we did, maybe we didn't. ''[Leela runs across the screen behind them, battling the leech still.]'' What's in it for me, Bender?</poem><br />

<poem>'''Hutch''': They've got a huge selection of carburetors... Hang on. Hang on. ''[He searches through a dumpster for a new hat and finds one with some pizza stuck to it.]'' That's better. My name's Hutch.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hi, Hutch. So what's with the obnoxious, shrieking voices? Are my fillings picking up The View?</poem><br />

<poem>'''Hutch''': Whoa! Freaky. Why can't I read your thoughts?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I don't know. Wait. What's that about a secret society?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Never mind that. Just keep the foil on and you'll be okay. Also, it'll keep the Dark Ones from incinerating your brain.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That's a plus.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': And don't ever, ever, ever tell anyone you can read minds, or the Dark Ones will get you like that. ''[He poorly snaps his fingers.]'' Hang on, pizza grease. Like that. ''[He snaps his fingers and Fry let's out a concerned wail.]''</poem><br />

<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': This the first tee.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Where's the hole?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': On Pluto's moon, Hydra. It's a six-billion-mile par-two. Tough shot, even for a man. ''[Leela groans. Mr. Wong adjusts the cannon with a dial near the tee. He strikes the button that fires the ball and everybody rushes over to a row of binoculars.]'' '''(Leo VO)''': Around the sun. Bank off Jupiter. And right into the... ''[The ball lands short of the hole and Mr. Wong curses in Mandarin.]'' I'll be right back. ''[He gets in a golf cart that has a dome over it and flies to Hydra. Fry, Leela and Amy watch from the binoculars. Mr. Wong smacks the giant ball his his putter, but it stops on the edge of the hole. He growls and curses in Mandarin. He bounces over to the ball and smacks his with his putter again, then kicks it.]'' It dropped in! Put me down for a two.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Two. ''[She writes down 8.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Keep in mind, that just the first hole. For full course, we gonna bulldoze this entire arm of the Milky Way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What? You're gonna wipe out 10% of the galaxy for a stupid golf course?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': First of all, it 12% . Second, yes, you betcha.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But you have no idea what life forms might be evolving out there.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': That's exactly why I'm hiring an impartial scientist to perform an environmental survey. That's him in the money shower.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth is in the money shower, giggling as money rains down around him.]''<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<poem>'''Fry (VO)''': Delivery boy's log. Having fallen asleep on what I thought was the toilet, I awoke to find the environmental survey in progress.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Status reports, Science Officer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Zilcho. No sign of life or intelligence. ''[He laughs.]'' '''(Telepathically)''': Just like Fry on a date.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He laughs.]'' Hey!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Okay, so we haven't found any life yet. I still don't see why you men can't be happy with regular-sized miniature golf.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Leela, evolution has programmed our fabulous male brains to take anything anybody else thinks is important and make it bigger. ''[He takes a slurp of a "128oz. Big Burp."] ''Have you seen my new 301-inch TV?</poem><br />
:''[He presses a button on a remote and a large TV descends at the front of the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Announcer''': Hypnotoad is brought to you by the MagnaPhallix 302-inch TV. It's bigger!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Oh, hell! ''[He throws his beverage at the TV and it falls apart.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[An alarm sounds.]'' Captain, I'm detecting life on the spock-o-scope!</poem><br />
:''[Leela gasps. The ship hovers over the planet. Cut to a fish-like creature waddles onto land. It uses its fins as feet and walks around. Pan up to flowers blooming and flying insects pollinating them.]'' <br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It's amazing. It's like a textbook on evolution.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Except in Kansas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But isn't Mr. Wong building the 18th hole here? And the golf pants museum?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Indeed so. This whole area will be incinerated when he implodes that sun there into a black hole.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That beautiful violet star?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': It's so you can't keep your ball at the end of the game.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yo, that's messed up.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Well, there won't be any imploding once they read our environmental review. Right, Professor?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Ohh, twaddle-squat. There's no scientific consensus that life is important.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yeah. Life, schmife.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Clip Board''': ''[Farnsworth checks an option.]'' Approved for demolition.</poem><br />

:''[Agnew grunts and sends the ball hurtling away from the tee. Cut to Zoidberg on a diving board high above a pool.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Now for a triple clam dip, with a double - ''[The ball smashes into his head and knocks him on his back.]'' OW! ''[He falls off the diving board and lands on the concrete surrounding the pool.]'' OW!</poem><br />

:''[Agnew growls.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': We are the Greenorita Eco-Feminist Collective, and we will not let you...What was it again?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': We will not let you implode the violet dwarf star at galactic coordinates 167.84, -58.03, mark 948.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Already approved, you cackling hens. So get out, or I'll have vice-president Agnew's headless body throw you out.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I'd like to see him try.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Me, too. Should look funny. Sic 'em, Agnew.</poem><br />
:''[Agnew breaks his club in half and wanders toward the women. Leela bumps into a parked golf cart and causes it to roll down a hill, toward Agnew.]''<br />

:''[Agnew tries to dodge the cart, but it follows his movements and runs him over.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': Whoa!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Aah!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Is... is he okay?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': No pulse.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': They killed the headless remains of Agnew. Arrest them!</poem><br />

<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express Lounge. Nixon is on TV.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': My fellow Earthicans, these eco-crooks will face the maximum sentence. For killing a headless torso, that's six weeks.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, this is embarrassing. Here I've been blabbing on for years about killing all humans, and who actually does something about it? Some chick.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Leela's not a killer, and she's not some chick. She's the chick I love. And don't tell her I called her a chick, or she'll kill me.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A hover-copter flows over the city with search lights. The Feministas are hiding in a building with the sign "Eco-Feminist Reading Room" in the window. When the spotlight passes over it, a Feminista switches it to "Something even less popular."]''<br />

<poem>'''[[Trixie]]''': Maybe we should just surrender and serve our six weeks in jail.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Dixie]]''': Hey, yeah! We could do each other's toenails and make shivs.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That's crazy. We've done nothing wrong, other than killing and dismembering the vice-president. We need to make a choice, sisters. We can either keep pestering criminals like Leo Wong with silly slogans...</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Yeah. Let's do that.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Actually, I meant that to be the less preferable alternative. We can either chant slogans or we can take action.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dixie''': What was the first choice again?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I choose to save the environment by sabotaging Leo Wong's golf course. Who's with me?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Could we still use our bullhorns?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Absolutely. Bullhorns are a core principle of eco-feminism.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Frida''': Are you sure about this? It would be better for propaganda if we weren't using refined sugar.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Nine''' : What about "commune"?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Especially "commune." Come on, it's the fate of the universe, puff it up a little. Like you could say your ancient order is sensing deep upheaval in the cosmic life energy field.</poem><br />
:''[Everybody murmurs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Okay. I'll try. So, like, a really, really long time ago... ''[Fry motions "longer" with his hands.]'' Eons ago! ''[Fry gives a thumbs up and he giggles.]'' Cool. Eons ago, the life force we call Chi permeated the universe. ''[He presses a button and a hologram is shown in the room.]'' The Green Chi generated a great upwelling of life across the cosmos. But then, for reasons unknown...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Ooh. "Reasons unknown." Now that's the sort of hook that grabs the attention of me, the viewer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': For reasons unknown...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Nice.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Hutch''': Freaking nailed it, corndog.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': We believe this star heralds a new green age, and it's your destiny to be its shepherd and protector.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Nine''': No! If you tell anyone, then their thoughts could be read, and our enemies would know of our existence. For the sake of those you love, you must keep this secret. Do you foot-swear?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Oh, okay. I foot-swear.</poem><br />

Leo, you're a parasite on the universe, and parasites must be destroyed. That's why we've adopted this parasite as our mascot. ''[The leech snarls against the glass of its case.]'' I know it's a little confusing. The point is, even this vicious leech has a right to exist, because it's a part of nature. And that's why a vicious leech like Leo Wong must be exterminated. ''[The Feministas in the background cheer.]'' Again, confusing. We call on women everywhere to join our struggle against eco-chauvinist Leo Wong. We especially need good communique writers. Feministas unite!

<poem>'''Bender''': Hello, weakness!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Hey, Bender, check it out. I'm Leo Wong's new security guard. I got an ID badge and a flashlight, and I ordered this mustache.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Neat. Say, speaking of whatever the hell you just said, I need to make a cell phone telephone call. Can borrow your cell phone telephone?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Okay, but don't restart my Tetris. I was finally about to get one of those pieces that looks like a backwards "L."</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Okay, superstud.</poem><br />
:''[Bender walks off screen as Mr. Wong and Amy approach Fry.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Looking good, security. No feministas getting past you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': No, sir. Not on my mustache's watch.</poem><br />
:''[Bender is in the background struggling with Fry's phone.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Fry, I can't believe you're working with my dad against Leela. How can you claim to be her friend and still want her in jail?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He clears his throat.]'' It's a tightrope walk, I won't deny it. It takes the kind of multi-sided thinking your dad's so brilliant at.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': You mean being two-faced?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Don't mind cranky-pants here. She been cranky ever since she was a fat little girl.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Dad!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Can I be brutally honest, Fry? I always wanted a son.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That hurt, but I can take it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': ''[She says something in Mandarin.]'' I knew you wanted a son! Why do you think I became a miniature golf champion? Why do you think I wear these stupid boys' sweat suits?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': To hide your big, fat butt, that's why. ''[He giggles.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Now, sir, in fairness, Amy's butt is actually pretty hot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': What is it with you men? Why does everything revolve around my butt?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': 'Cause it's so big and massive. ''[He and Fry share a laugh.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Sorry.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': That's it! Why don't you just adopt Fry and make him the son you never had? That'll replace the daughter you don't have anymore!</poem><br />
:''[She grunts as she shoves her way past Bender.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Whoa! What's with Big Butt?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': She just hungry.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Here you go, Fry.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Thanks.</poem><br />
:''[Bender gives Fry his phone back. There is a large antenna device sticking out of the top of it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh! FYI, I dropped that Tetris piece in the wrong place and ended the game.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He looks at the screen on the phone. It reads "GAME OVER."]'' No!</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Fry is locking up Wongminister Miniature Golf Club.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Great! Now Amy's gonna tell Leela I'm a jerk. If only I could explain I'm on a secret mission against evil. Wait. Evil? Yeah, yeah, evil. ''[There is a tapping in the darkness. Fry shines his flashlight around.]'' What's going on in there? A scary noise? ''[He spots Frida hammering a protest sign into the grass.]'' Hey, you're one of Leela's feministas. "Save the environment! Wo-mandate Leo's retirement!" That's terrible writing! Stop making your point so ineffectively! ''[He tries to pull the hammer from Frida's grip.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Take your mands off of me!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He shushes her.]'' I'm on your side.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': ''[She shushes back.]'' Don't shush me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Please, can you take a message to Leela?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': ''[She quickly shushes him.]'' What is it?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Just say her sweet goofbag is working to save the violet dwarf star, just like she is.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Very well, I'll fem-municate your man-formation.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He rolls his eyes.]'' Just tell her.</poem><br />
:''[She shushes him again.]''<br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. There is a banner on the balcony which reads "Going out of business forever! Again!"]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Well, this is it, old friends. Planet Express is done for, what with our delivery crew missing and the abysmal sales of Tickle Me Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender Doll''': ''[He doll giggles.]'' Quit touching my junk, pervert!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Hold out your hands and I'll remove your career chips.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': I hate to see it come to an end. ''[His chip is removed and he screams in agony.]'' When will it end?</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth moves on to Hermes when the phone starts to ring.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Shouldn't you get that, Professor?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I suppose. ''[He walks off screen, but then rushes back to remove the career chip from Hermes' hand.]'' Hello?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mr. Wong''': Professor, old buddy, I'm gonna blow up the violet dwarf star. So I need you deliver billion-mile security fence to keep out protesters. Dirty business. Lot of money. You corrupt enough?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Damn skippy! ''[Money is dispensed from the telephone console.]'' Good news, crybabies! We're back in business.</poem><br />
:''[They both cheer and Farnsworth quickly implants their chips back. They both wail in pain. Cut to an exterior shot of Planet Express. The hangar doors open, but the ship blasts through the front entrance instead. A shot of the Violet Dwarf Star System shows the Planet Express ship approaching while making abrupt jolts left and right with Farnsworth at the helm.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Sweet kookaburra of Edinburgh, Professor. You sure you know how to fly this thing?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I invented it, didn't I? You wouldn't ask Thomas Edison whether he knew how to use a sexmatron.</poem><br />
:''[They all gasps as they see the Feministas' van approaching head on.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': The Feministas, probably.</poem><br />
:''[As they meet, the Planet Express ship skids to a stop. The van circles around and around the ship while spray painting it pink.<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Halt! What are you doing in this parallelogram of space?</poem><br />

<poem>'''Leela''': Under the articles of the confemiracy, we hereby wo-mandeer this ship.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Oh, no, you don't. It's three against three.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Mrs. Wong''': That was the greatest play I ever saw. It must have had 20 acts.</poem><br />
:''[Mr. Wong exits the carriage, cracks his back and gasps at what he sees in the sky. It's the Feministas approaching in their pink Planet Express ship with the fence. They drop the fence on them, trapping them in a semi-sphere.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela (over Megaphone)''': We installed your fence, Leo Wong.</poem><br />
:''[Inside the ship the Feministas cheer.]''<br />
<poem>'''Linda''': Should we shout a clever slogan?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You mean something like, "The best defense is a good fence?"</poem><br />
<poem>'''Linda''': Yeah, something like that, only funny.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I wish we could, but our chief slogan writer is back at the Honeybun Hideout.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the hideout where Frida is working on protest signs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Does "violet dwarf" rhyme with "men are dorks"? It does through a megaphone. '''(Telepathically):''' That reminds me, I've got to tell Leela about that weirdo who wants to save the violet dwarf.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mysterious, Sinister Voice''': So, the Legion of Madfellows has a new pawn, eh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Is somebody here? If you're the DSL guy, you're two days late.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mysterious, Sinister Voice''': Who gave you that message for Leela?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frida''': I don't know his name.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mysterious, Sinister Voice''': Then you are of no use to the Dark Ones!</poem><br />
:''[She is choked by seemingly nothing.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frida''': Long lost brother, avenge my death.</poem><br />

''['''Scene''': Wongminister Miniature Golf Club. Fry is locking up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Six, seven, eight. Lock the gate. One, two, three. Turn the key. 30, 50, 10. ''[He sees Hutch.]'' My dirty, shifty friend?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Hey, Fry, long time.</poem><br />
:''[They stare at each other for a moment, then Fry is once again bottled by Hutch, who then opens the bottle and takes a drink. Cut to Fry waking up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Welcome back to the Legion of Madfellows, man.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Why'd you bonk me, you idiot? You could have just asked me to come with you. And where are we? This doesn't look like your regular dumpster.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': All in good time! I guess now is a good time. We are on Mars, in a forgotten cavern abandoned by the native Martians a million years ago.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Actually, it was five years ago. I remember 'cause they washed my socks.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': You have done well, Fry. You have ingratiated yourself with Leo Wong.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yup, I kissed his ass from cheek to shining cheek. So, what do I do next?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': As Wong security chief, you will be on hand when he attempts to destroy the violet dwarf. You must not let that happen.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[He is taking notes.]'' "Must let happen."</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Not happen!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': "Must let occur."</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Let me tell you a story. A story of two alien species so ancient that compared to them the human race is a mere college senior! On a distant planetoid they evolved to cooperate in their quest to survive.</poem><br />
:''[A hologram shows a snake and a frog like creature. The frog pushes the snake up to knock a bug free from a leaf. They both eat half of the bug.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Cooperation, because life is a team sport.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine: But, over time, one species evolved a better strategy, and an evolutionary arms race began.</poem><br />
:''[The hologram shows the frog pushing the snake up again, but letting it drop into his mouth instead. The next hologram shows the snake countering this by inflating himself so it won't fit in the frog's mouth and instead crushes it. The next shows the frog countering this by using a sharp tail to pop the inflated snake. The next shows the snake countering this by growing a natural armour to defend itself from the piercing tail and then turning its body inside-out to ingest the frog.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': That concludes the audio-visual portion of our head-clonk and lecture.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Wait, what happened to the snakes and the frogs? I need to know!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': ''[He sighs and turns the hologram back on. He uses the light to cast shadows on the wall his his hands.]'' The frogs, or possibly the snakes, evolved into vicious killing machines, honed by the merciless forces of natural selection and intelligent design. We call these the Dark Ones!</poem><br />
:''[Pan over to Fry's shadow who shudders and picks his nose.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nine''': These evil creatures preyed on all life, driving species after species to extinction. Meanwhile, however, the second species evolved to fend off the Dark Ones, befriending and protecting all other living things.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Even Céline Dion?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Probably. We call these noble beings the Encyclopods, because their DNA incorporates the DNA of every endangered species they encountered, so they can recreate them if they go extinct.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Just as a pillow, a wig and a corncob pipe can be used to recreate my old girlfriend!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Bingo.</poem><br />
<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': At the Feministas' hideout.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Transition Announcer 2''': Meanwhile, at the Honeybun Hideout.</poem><br />
:''[Hermes, Zoidberg and Farnsworth are locked up.]''<br />
<poem>'''LaBarbara''': There! Now you know how it feels to be locked up in a go-go cage.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': What the hell are you talking about?</poem><br />
<poem>'''LaBarbara''': Shut your man-hole.</poem><br />
:''[She presses a button. Music starts playing and coloured lights spin around the room. The three men eerily groan as they force themselves to dance.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': I feel dirty.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the other room of the cave.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Are you sure Fry is working for your father? It just doesn't seem like him to be so evil, or to hold down a job.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': It's true, Leela. Cross My Heart bra and swear to Goddess.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But the Fry I know wouldn't do that. I'm gonna call his cell phone telephone and prove you wrong. ''[She walks over to a phone booth and tries to open the door. The camera pans down and reveals Frida's body is blocking the door.]'' Oh, no! Frida's been murdered!</poem><br />
:''[The Feministas all gasp.]''<br />
<poem>'''LaBarbara''': Sweet she-cattle of Seattle!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes (from off screen)''': Not your strong suit, woman.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Who could have done this?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Your dad? Nixon?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Fry?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': No, never. I don't think. Anyhow, there's a crazed murderer on the loose, possibly in the shadows or hanging from the ceiling! ''[They all scream.]'' So just stay calm while I call Fry.</poem><br />
:''[Leela forces the door open and stands on Frida's body while making the call. Cut to Fry talking with Nine.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': So where are the Encyclopods and the Dark Ones now?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Wh-... ''[Hutch is cooking a can of food with the light of the hologram.]'' When the life-giving Chi receded, only the toughest organisms could adapt and survive, like the Dark Ones. ''[The Madfellows boo.]'' Many more died out, like the Encyclopods. But, and this is the great secret of our age, we believe they left an egg behind.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Is it edible?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': We're not gonna eat it! Not unless we find a second one. No, Fry, we intend to hatch it!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': And that's where you come in.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': And here I am.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': At long last the tide of Chi has returned, and its nourishing flow has awakened the dormant egg.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That's good.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': It's better than good. It's better. With its massive stash of DNA, the Encyclopod can reconstruct every species that ever went extinct.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Imagine, all the animals that failed evolution's test, alive again! The dodo bird, the brittle-klutz, the striped biologist-taunter.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': So, where is this egg?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': In the violet dwarf star system.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': And what does it look like?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': A violet dwarf star!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You mean, the whole star is a single... Whoa! Sci-fi.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Alas! Even now, a Dark One is headed to the star to ensure its destruction.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Dang! So what does this Dark One look like?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': ''[He sighs.]'' We don't know. I admit it's a horrifically grave situation.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Don't sugarcoat it, Nine. The Dark Ones have been evolving so long, it could be anything or anyone. Or anybody.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You mean, like, people?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hutch''': Any people. It will kill the egg, and every dude, woman and child who knows about it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nine''': Even our crazy caps will be useless at close range. That's why only you, with your defective unreadable brainwave, may be able to thwart them and usher in a new green age of wonder and...</poem><br />
:''[Fry's cell phone starts ringing.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''' ''[On the phone]'': You're on Fry-time. Leela! Did you get my message?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What message?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Didn't you see Frida Waterfall?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She gasps.]''So you did kill Frida Waterfall?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': What? No. I told her to tell you that I'm... Oh, Jeep! The Dark Ones got her. It's all true. We need to talk, Leela. Then I can explain... ''[Nine motions "No!"]'' Well, I can't explain anything, but we should talk anyway. Where are you?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh, no. I'm not gonna expose the Honeybun Hideout. Where are you?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Near the Keeler Crater on Mars. Do you know it?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I, I, uh... I think I read about it.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to Bender, Zapp and Kif listening in on the call.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She is heard through a speaker on the Nimbus.]'' I'll meet you at the south rim in one hour. No moustaches.</poem><br />

:''['''Scene''': Mars, the southern rim of the Keeler Crater.]''<br />
<br />

<poem>'''Leela''': Psst. Are you alone?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Of course, don't you trust me?</poem><br />
:''[The Nimbus emerges on the horizon.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zapp (over PA)''': There's no escape, Leela. If you surrender, wave your shirt in the air.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Fry, you traitor!</poem><br />
''[Leela begins to remove her shirt.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy (over PA)''': Hop onto the magnet, Leela!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Okay. One, two... ''[Her boots are pulled to the magnet. She screams and Fry laughs, but he is grabbed by the ears and pulled along with her. The Planet Express ship takes off with the Nimbus chasing after it.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She throws him in the go-go cage.]'' I can't believe you ratted me out, Fry.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I'm not a rat, I swear. If I'm any rodent, it's the loyal capybara, king of the rats! No, wait.</poem><br />
:''[The ship is hit by a shot from the Nimbus.]''<br />
<poem>'''Linda''': This just in, we are about to get our asses blown off. LaBarbara?</poem><br />
<poem>'''LaBarbara''': That's right, Linda. ''[She screams.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Stay strong, ladies. We can lose them in the giant miniature golf course.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': But the course isn't finished. And there's no girls allowed.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Fore! ''[She pulls the steering wheel to the right with her club.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': So, they want to play mini golf, eh? Two can play at that game. Or even four, depending on the number of ball colors available.</poem><br />
:''[Bender and Kif sigh at the same time.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': I choose pink.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Kif''': That's their color, sir.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': The hell it is.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Kif''': Sir, at our present speed, the computer predicts a 100% chance we'll be sliced in half. We'll never make it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': Not with that attitude, we won't. Same speed ahead!</poem><br />
:''[The Nimbus is sliced in half by a blade of the windmill. The trail of smoke is polluted by bodies of suffocating soldiers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': We made it through, Kif. How many men did we lose?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Kif''': All of them.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zapp''': Well, at least they won't have to mourn each other. Seal the airlocks, and draw the shades. Resume shooting.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Oh, no! The gorilla! That's a par-four!</poem><br />

<poem>'''Leela''': The mouth's too dangerous. I'm going for the nose.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Zapp''': For me, there are only one '80s. ''[The ships slowly heads away from the chase.]'' '''(VO)''': Smell like I sound, ''[Kif groans.]'' I'm lost and I'm found. ''[Kif groans.]''And I'm hungry like the wolf.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Uh, whaa...</poem><br />

:''[The Nimbus starts up and takes off from the XM repair station, severely damaging it. The Planet Express ship flies by the Violet Dwarf Star System and observes the life on it.]''<br />

<poem>'''Fry''': Wow! It's incredible.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But it'll be destroyed when Leo Wong blows up the violet dwarf. So why are you helping him?</poem><br />

<poem>'''Leela''': The violet dwarf star!</poem><br />

"'''The Route of All Evil'''" is the forty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the third of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]], being the episode airing furtherest from when it was produced. It aired 8 December, 2002 on FOX. [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] form a competing business to [[Planet Express]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "We can all fight when we're drunk!" ===<br />
When [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are unable to decide on which beer to buy, Leela suggests that they brew their own. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] are yelling at [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] for being suspended from boarding school for salting [[Brett Blob|a bully]]. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (the universe ends after Dogdoo 7), Hermes and the Professor force their sons to get jobs. They start a delivery company, ''[[Awesome Express]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselveses!" ===<br />
The kids order a pedal-powered space ship from a magazine for use on the deliveries, and start a paper route. Bender is now swollen with beer. [[Sal]] drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful. Awesome Express becomes more profitable than [[Planet Express]], but this fails to impress Hermes or the Professor. Rejected, the boys decide to crush Planet Express instead, and hire away the crew. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs, namely [[Scruffy]] and [[Zoidberg]]. Before they get very far, Cubert is able to inherit Planet Express after discovering the Professor had been declared legally dead three years ago. They rename the entire company Awesome Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "You rotten kids!" ===<br />
Hermes and the Professor leave the building, depressed. Bender "gives birth" to an ale (Benderbrau). Dwight and Cubert's failure to actually deliver the newspapers becomes apparent, they go to their fathers, who had been feeling sorry for themselves, for help. The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the Blob household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|Mr. Blob]] and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. Mr. Blob visits them to apologise, Bender shares some of his beer with the men, and Brett learns to be more like his father, by digesting Dwight and Cubert.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The commentary for this episode was recorded ''before'' it aired on television, due to [[Bumper Robinson]] being out of the country. They had to wait for his return to re-record some lines.<br />
*Bender produces 5 gallons, 6 ounces of beer, or 646 liquid ounces (128 ounces to a gallon). Assuming that, in the [[31st century]], the United States customary fluid ounce is still defined as 29.574 milliliters, that equates to ~19.1 liters of [[Bendërbrāu]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*[[Bendërbrāu]] is an allusion to a few things:<br />
**The beer's name comes from an actual beer that the ''[[Futurama]]'' staff brewed in their offices at the time of production.<ref>{{cite commentary|episode=The Route of All Evil|volume=3|disc=2}}</ref><br />
**When the Bendërbrāu is growing inside Bender, the process is frequently compared to pregnancy.<br />
**The bottle label for Bendërbrāu says that it is a {{w|steam beer}}, a style of beer which is most popular in [[California]].<br />
*Hermes sings a parody of the {{w|Bob Marley}} song "{{w|Get Up, Stand Up}}" while sorting his papers before Cubert and Dwight come in and dissemble his office.<br />
*The prince on the small asteroid, who is later knocked out by paper and speaks [[French]] is a reference to ''{{w|The Little Prince}}''.<br />
*The dog chasing Dwight and Cubert (Awesome Express) as they fly through an asteroid field is eaten by a {{sw|Exogorth|giant space slug}} extending from an {{w|asteroid}}, a parody of a scene in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'', in which the {{sw|Millennium Falcon}} flies out from inside a similar beast as it tries in vain to re-eat the ship.<br />
*The various brands of alcohol in 7^11 contain references to real-life alcoholic beverages.<br />
** Pabst Blue Robot is a reference to {{w|Pabst Blue Ribbon}}.<br />
** Kleinz is a reference to the {{w|Klein Bottle}}, a "non-orientable" surface with only 1 side in Euclidean space. The bottles the Kleinz comes in are Klein Bottles.<br />
** Olde Fortran is named after {{w|Old English 800}} and the computer programming "language" {{w|Fortran}}.<br />
**St Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl is named after {{w|St. Pauli Girl}} and the {{w|Pauli Exclusion Principle}}. <br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
[[File:Benderbrau.jpg|thumb|Label indicating that [[Bendërbrāu]] is a steam beer.]]<br />
*The {{w|periodic table}} seen on Dwight's lunchbox has been outdated since 1997 when the elements Hassium and Meitnerium were added; whoever was responsible obviously wasn't aware of the additions. Further elements have been added since the episode was made, and at least one of the many scientists on staff would have been aware of the growing nature of the table, so perhaps they chose to omit these elements.<br />
**This would show peoples bad perception of the 21 century.<br />
*The Little Prince speaks a few words of French when hit by a newspaper, despite previous claims that French was a dead language {{et|2ACV10}}.<br />
**A "dead language" is not necessarily a language that is no longer spoken. It could be one that is no longer changing, like {{w|Latin}}. Further, perhaps being an inhabitant of an asteroid immunizes the Little Prince from language changes on Earth.<br />
*When pumping the [[Bendërbrāu]] out of Bender, Fry proclaims that they've created an {{w|ale}}. However, the bottle label says that it's a {{w|steam beer}}, which is not an ale but a hybrid beer that combines traits of both ales and {{w|lager}}s.<br />

"'''The Route of All Evil'''" is the forty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the third of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]], being the episode airing furtherest from when it was produced. It aired 8 December, 2002 on FOX. [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] form a competing business to [[Planet Express]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "We can all fight when we're drunk!" ===<br />
When [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are unable to decide on which beer to buy, Leela suggests that they brew their own. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] are yelling at [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] for being suspended from boarding school for salting [[Brett Blob|a bully]]. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (the universe ends after Dogdoo 7), Hermes and the Professor force their sons to get jobs. They start a delivery company, ''[[Awesome Express]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselveses!" ===<br />
The kids order a pedal-powered space ship from a magazine for use on the deliveries, and start a paper route. Bender is now swollen with beer. [[Sal]] drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful. Awesome Express becomes more profitable than [[Planet Express]], but this fails to impress Hermes or the Professor. Rejected, the boys decide to crush Planet Express instead, and hire away the crew. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs, namely [[Scruffy]] and [[Zoidberg]]. Before they get very far, Cubert is able to inherit Planet Express after discovering the Professor had been declared legally dead three years ago. They rename the entire company Awesome Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "You rotten kids!" ===<br />
Hermes and the Professor leave the building, depressed. Bender "gives birth" to an ale (Benderbrau). Dwight and Cubert's failure to actually deliver the newspapers becomes apparent, they go to their fathers, who had been feeling sorry for themselves, for help. The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the Blob household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|Mr. Blob]] and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. Mr. Blob visits them to apologise, Bender shares some of his beer with the men, and Brett learns to be more like his father, by digesting Dwight and Cubert.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The commentary for this episode was recorded ''before'' it aired on television, due to [[Bumper Robinson]] being out of the country. They had to wait for his return to re-record some lines.<br />
*Bender produces 5 gallons, 6 ounces of beer, or 646 liquid ounces (128 ounces to a gallon). Assuming that, in the [[31st century]], the United States customary fluid ounce is still defined as 29.574 milliliters, that equates to ~19.1 liters of [[Bendërbrāu]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*[[Bendërbrāu]] is an allusion to a few things:<br />
**The beer's name comes from an actual beer that the ''[[Futurama]]'' staff brewed in their offices at the time of production.<ref>{{cite commentary|episode=The Route of All Evil|volume=3|disc=2}}</ref><br />
**When the Bendërbrāu is growing inside Bender, the process is frequently compared to pregnancy.<br />
**The bottle label for Bendërbrāu says that it is a {{w|steam beer}}, a style of beer which is most popular in [[California]].<br />
*Hermes sings a parody of the {{w|Bob Marley}} song "{{w|Get Up, Stand Up}}" while sorting his papers before Cubert and Dwight come in and dissemble his office.<br />
*The prince on the small asteroid, who is later knocked out by paper and speaks [[French]] is a reference to ''{{w|The Little Prince}}''.<br />
*The dog chasing Dwight and Cubert (Awesome Express) as they fly through an asteroid field is eaten by a {{sw|Exogorth|giant space slug}} extending from an {{w|asteroid}}, a parody of a scene in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'', in which the {{sw|Millennium Falcon}} flies out from inside a similar beast as it tries in vain to re-eat the ship.<br />
*The various brands of alcohol in 7^11 contain references to real-life alcoholic beverages.<br />
** Pabst Blue Robot is a reference to {{w|Pabst Blue Ribbon}}.<br />
** Kleinz is a reference to the {{w|Klein Bottle}}, a "non-orientable" surface with only 1 side in Euclidean space. The bottles the Kleinz comes in are Klein Bottles.<br />
** Olde Fortran is named after {{w|Old English 800}} and the computer programming "language" {{w|Fortran}}.<br />
**St Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl is named after {{w|St. Pauli Girl}} and the {{w|Pauli Exclusion Principle}}. <br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
[[File:Benderbrau.jpg|thumb|Label indicating that [[Bendërbrāu]] is a steam beer.]]<br />
*The {{w|periodic table}} seen on Dwight's lunchbox has been outdated since 1997 when the elements Hassium and Meitnerium were added; whoever was responsible obviously wasn't aware of the additions. Further elements have been added since the episode was made, and at least one of the many scientists on staff would have been aware of the growing nature of the table, so perhaps they chose to omit these elements.<br />
**This would show peoples bad perception of the 21 century.<br />
*The Little Prince speaks a few words of French when hit by a newspaper, despite previous claims that French was a dead language {{et|2ACV10}}.<br />
**A "dead language" is not necessarily a language that is no longer spoken. It could be one that is no longer changing, like {{w|Latin}}. Further, perhaps being an inhabitant of an asteroid immunizes the Little Prince from language changes on Earth.<br />
*When pumping the [[Bendërbrāu]] out of Bender, Fry proclaims that they've created an {{w|ale}}. However, the bottle label says that it's a {{w|steam beer}}, which is not an ale but a hybrid beer that combines traits of both ales and {{w|lager}}s.<br />

'''Hattie McDoogal''' is an elderly woman with a lazy eye. Her memory is fairly poor. She tends to replace words that she doesn't remember with such nonsense words as "whatchacallit" and "kajigger", is the landlady of the building of [[Dr. Mbutu's apartment]] {{et|1ACV03}}, owns one share of [[Planet Express]] {{et|3ACV21}} and loves her pet cats, one of which she keeps in her purse (3ACV21).<br />
<br />
She was once the tiebreaker in a CEO election between [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and [[Steve Castle]] (3ACV21). Although she was briefly with Professor Farnsworth on the ''[[Titanic]]'' {{et|1ACV10}}, she seems to dislike him. She refers to him as a "cat-hater" and seemed pleased at the fact that he was receiving a mercy killing {{et|6ACV18}}. She has two deceased husbands, both of whom were cremated {{et|2ACV04}}, and suffered a bout of insomnia from [[2974]] to [[3004]] {{et|4ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
Hattie's last name was created in the comic book "[[Who's Dying to Be a Gazillionaire?]]", but was not considered [[canon]] until "[[Law and Oracle]]".<br />

"'''Fry and the Slurm Factory'''" is the thirteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' and the last episode of the [[Season 1|first production season]], and the fourth episode of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 14 November, 1999 on FOX. It guest stars [[Pamela Anderson's head|Pamela Anderson]] as [[Dixie]]. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is obsessed with [[Slurm]], and when a competition comes out for him to see the [[Slurm Factory]], he cannot resist. However, at the Slurm Factory, the [[Planet Express]] crew discovers the horrible truth about Slurm.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
[[File:Slurm 2.jpg|left|thumb|The Secret Ingredient]]<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Whimmy wham wham wozzle... let's party!" ===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], drinking a lot of cans of [[Slurm]], and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] are watching ''[[All My Circuits]]'', when a commercial for Slurm comes on. The commercial advertises a new contest; the grand prize is a chance to party with [[Slurms MacKenzie]] at the [[Slurm Factory]] on [[Wormulon]]. Then one of Fry's teeth falls out and he discards it in a pile of his other teeth.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I've never seen anyone so addicted to Slurm." ===<br />
[[Fry]] starts guzzling [[Slurm]] like crazy looking for the winning bottle cap, hoping to win the contest, but to no avail. Bender doesn't feel so well, running a fever of 900 degrees. After [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] fails to find anything, the Professor takes the opportunity to test his new invention, the [[F-Ray]]. The Professor's device allows the crew to see inside Bender and find the problem, Amy's watch. While the Professor takes his environmental suit to the decontaminators, he leaves the F-Ray with Fry and Bender "to be kept out of the wrong hands." They immediately start using it to see inside of things, including Fry and the beautiful "[[Hermaphrobot|Fembot]]". At the [[711|7<sup>11</sup>]] Fry gets an idea and they start to use the ray to search for the Slurm can with the winning bottle cap. They look inside hundreds of cans throughout [[New New York|the city]]. Back at [[Planet Express]], where [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and the Professor are playing [[3-D Scrabble]], Fry and Bender decide to give up. After declaring his disgust with Slurm, Fry immediately goes to the refrigerator and takes out some Slurm. He begins drinking but quickly start choking on the winning bottle cap lodged in his throat.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Something's rotten on planet Wormulon!" ===<br />
Fry and all of his friends arrive on Wormulon, and are greeted by [[Glurmo]], who will lead them on the tour, and Slurms MacKenzie. Glurmo takes them inside the factory to a garden with Slurm cans plants, where they encounter the [[Grunka Lunkas]], little people mixing the ingredients and singing across the Slurm river. Everyone gets on a boat and they see a mysterious door at the middle of the tour, which leads them to begin asking questions about the secret ingredient of Slurm. Fry notices the river they are navigating in is made of Slurm so he wants to drink it, he falls in and Leela jumps in to save him; Bender jumps as well, just to fit in. Sucked down the drain, they wind up lost in an underground part of the factory with the Slurm of the river pouring into a sewer. Fry tastes Slurm from the river, only to discover it's not Slurm at all, and they begin nosing around inside a tunnel where they see two doors marked "''Real Factory''" and "''Fake Factory''", which is the factory they had come from. Fry finally sees Slurm cans in a conveyor belt and immediately drinks it, but stops when they discover the disgusting secret - Slurm is a fluid squirted out by a giant worm: the [[Slurm Queen]]! Meanwhile Zoidberg, Amy, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and the Professor finish the tour at the gift shop, and Glurmo notices that the others are missing so he decides to look for them, suspecting they had found the "Real Factory".<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "''That's'' the secret ingredient of Slurm? Ewwwwww!" ===<br />
Despite knowing the secret, Fry continues drinking Slurm and Leela knocks the can out of his hand, which makes the Slurm Queen see them. They try to escape, only to run in a circle and wind up back in the room with the Slurm Queen, where Glurmo captures them. The Slurm Queen wants them destroyed so they can't tell anybody about the secret ingredient. Bender is to be made into Slurm cans, Leela is to be dipped into a vat of Royal Slurm, transforming her into a new Slurm Queen. Fry is allowed to go free after being force-fed a taste of concentrated Super-Slurm, which is so addictive he can't stop eating it, even to save his friends. Still eating, Fry doesn't know whether to continue or to save his friends. He drags the vat over until he can release Leela. She saves Bender, and then dumps the Super-Slurm down a sewer grate, to Fry's horror, so much so he tries to bite his arms off to fit through the grate. They make their escape, and run into Slurms MacKenzie, who wants to escape with them, saying he is tired of partying all the time. When the Slurm Queen finds them, Slurms sacrifices himself to allow the crew to escape with the babes he had partied with for 40 years. As the Planet Express crew escape on the ship, the Professor contacts the authorities, who vow to shut down the Slurm factory. Fry realises this would spell the end for his favorite drink, and so tells the authorities to ignore the Professor, saying that "My grandpa's always making up silly stories." The Professor points out the truth - that Fry's really his uncle from the 20th century - but in doing so only makes himself look more insane, meaning that the factory gets to stay open. As the Professor grumbles, the rest of the crew and Slurms' babes end the episode by partying away.<br />

=== Lyrics ===<br />
*[[List of song performances#The Grunka Lunka Songs|Grunka Lunka Songs]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*According to audio commentary, Glurmo's name was originally to have been "Slurmy Slonka" - furthering the references to Willy Wonka.<br />
*Mixing Hydrogen molecules, with oxygen atoms to create water, as the Grunka Lunkas supposedly do during Slurm production, would actually cause a massive fire and blow up the tanks. Whether this was a hint to observant viewers of the upcoming plot twist or actually a goof is unknown.<br />
**Perhaps the hydrogen atoms are passed through a semipermiable membrane, one which only allows protons to pass through, and the remaining energy, which would be seen as combustion if the reaction was triggered as such, would now be transferred to the electron, both creating the pure water and electricity at the same time, with no explosion neccessary.<br />
*During the scene where Leela and the Professor, are playing [[3D Scrabble]], the Professor's current letters are F, U, U, T, A, M, and R (one A short of FUTURAMA due to 7-letter rack limit) in that order.<br />
**Also the words on the other boards are One, Eye, [[Matt Groening|Matt]], Area, Prop, Only, Donut, One, and Emu.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*{{e|1ACV11}}<br />
**[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] threatens to get both [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Gunther]] neutered.<br />
*{{e|3ACV02}}<br />
**Fry's sperm production, damaged when [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] used the [[F-Ray]] on him, is healed.<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
{{cultural mentions}}<br />
*The episode's plot is a parody of both ''{{w|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' and ''{{w|Soylent Green}}''.<br />
*The Factory, the [[Grunka Lunkas]], and [[Glurmo]] are references to ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''.<br />
*The [[Slurm Queen]]'s plan of using [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to market [[New Slurm]] is a reference to {{w|New Coke}}.<br />
*[[Slurms MacKenzie]] is a reference to {{w|Spuds MacKenzie}}, a former ''{{w|Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch|Budweiser}}'' advertising mascot.<br />
*The Soylent Cola is the first of many references to ''Soylent Green'' in the show.<br />
*3D Scrabble, the game played by Leela and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], is a reference to ''[[Star Trek]]''{{'}}s 3D Chess.<br />
*The [[#Alien Language Sightings|translation]] mentions "the elusive ''yak-face''". Yak face is a rare ''[[Star Wars]]'' figure of {{sw|Saelt-Marae}} not released in the USA. Mint figures have sold for thousands of dollars. It was added because [[David X. Cohen]] owns one.<br />
*When the Professor uses the F-Ray on [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], his brain is shown to be powered by {{w|MOS Technology 6502|a 6502 CPU}} (a common CPU from the [[1980s]] used in the Apple II, Nintendo Famicom/NES, and Commodore 64 computers).<br />
*In the gift shop, the shirt Zoidberg wears says Slurm in Hebrew, adding to the Jewish persona of Zoidberg.<br />
**One of the more popular souvenirs from Israel is a t-shirt with the Coca-Cola logo in Hebrew.<br />

"'''Fry and the Slurm Factory'''" is the thirteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' and the last episode of the [[Season 1|first production season]], and the fourth episode of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 14 November, 1999 on FOX. It guest stars [[Pamela Anderson's head|Pamela Anderson]] as [[Dixie]]. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is obsessed with [[Slurm]], and when a competition comes out for him to see the [[Slurm Factory]], he cannot resist. However, at the Slurm Factory, the [[Planet Express]] crew discovers the horrible truth about Slurm.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
[[File:Slurm 2.jpg|left|thumb|The Secret Ingredient]]<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Whimmy wham wham wozzle... let's party!" ===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], drinking a lot of cans of [[Slurm]], and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] are watching ''[[All My Circuits]]'', when a commercial for Slurm comes on. The commercial advertises a new contest; the grand prize is a chance to party with [[Slurms MacKenzie]] at the [[Slurm Factory]] on [[Wormulon]]. Then one of Fry's teeth falls out and he discards it in a pile of his other teeth.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I've never seen anyone so addicted to Slurm." ===<br />
[[Fry]] starts guzzling [[Slurm]] like crazy looking for the winning bottle cap, hoping to win the contest, but to no avail. Bender doesn't feel so well, running a fever of 900 degrees. After [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] fails to find anything, the Professor takes the opportunity to test his new invention, the [[F-Ray]]. The Professor's device allows the crew to see inside Bender and find the problem, Amy's watch. While the Professor takes his environmental suit to the decontaminators, he leaves the F-Ray with Fry and Bender "to be kept out of the wrong hands." They immediately start using it to see inside of things, including Fry and the beautiful "[[Hermaphrobot|Fembot]]". At the [[711|7<sup>11</sup>]] Fry gets an idea and they start to use the ray to search for the Slurm can with the winning bottle cap. They look inside hundreds of cans throughout [[New New York|the city]]. Back at [[Planet Express]], where [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and the Professor are playing [[3-D Scrabble]], Fry and Bender decide to give up. After declaring his disgust with Slurm, Fry immediately goes to the refrigerator and takes out some Slurm. He begins drinking but quickly start choking on the winning bottle cap lodged in his throat.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Something's rotten on planet Wormulon!" ===<br />
Fry and all of his friends arrive on Wormulon, and are greeted by [[Glurmo]], who will lead them on the tour, and Slurms MacKenzie. Glurmo takes them inside the factory to a garden with Slurm cans plants, where they encounter the [[Grunka Lunkas]], little people mixing the ingredients and singing across the Slurm river. Everyone gets on a boat and they see a mysterious door at the middle of the tour, which leads them to begin asking questions about the secret ingredient of Slurm. Fry notices the river they are navigating in is made of Slurm so he wants to drink it, he falls in and Leela jumps in to save him; Bender jumps as well, just to fit in. Sucked down the drain, they wind up lost in an underground part of the factory with the Slurm of the river pouring into a sewer. Fry tastes Slurm from the river, only to discover it's not Slurm at all, and they begin nosing around inside a tunnel where they see two doors marked "''Real Factory''" and "''Fake Factory''", which is the factory they had come from. Fry finally sees Slurm cans in a conveyor belt and immediately drinks it, but stops when they discover the disgusting secret - Slurm is a fluid squirted out by a giant worm: the [[Slurm Queen]]! Meanwhile Zoidberg, Amy, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and the Professor finish the tour at the gift shop, and Glurmo notices that the others are missing so he decides to look for them, suspecting they had found the "Real Factory".<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "''That's'' the secret ingredient of Slurm? Ewwwwww!" ===<br />
Despite knowing the secret, Fry continues drinking Slurm and Leela knocks the can out of his hand, which makes the Slurm Queen see them. They try to escape, only to run in a circle and wind up back in the room with the Slurm Queen, where Glurmo captures them. The Slurm Queen wants them destroyed so they can't tell anybody about the secret ingredient. Bender is to be made into Slurm cans, Leela is to be dipped into a vat of Royal Slurm, transforming her into a new Slurm Queen. Fry is allowed to go free after being force-fed a taste of concentrated Super-Slurm, which is so addictive he can't stop eating it, even to save his friends. Still eating, Fry doesn't know whether to continue or to save his friends. He drags the vat over until he can release Leela. She saves Bender, and then dumps the Super-Slurm down a sewer grate, to Fry's horror, so much so he tries to bite his arms off to fit through the grate. They make their escape, and run into Slurms MacKenzie, who wants to escape with them, saying he is tired of partying all the time. When the Slurm Queen finds them, Slurms sacrifices himself to allow the crew to escape with the babes he had partied with for 40 years. As the Planet Express crew escape on the ship, the Professor contacts the authorities, who vow to shut down the Slurm factory. Fry realises this would spell the end for his favorite drink, and so tells the authorities to ignore the Professor, saying that "My grandpa's always making up silly stories." The Professor points out the truth - that Fry's really his uncle from the 20th century - but in doing so only makes himself look more insane, meaning that the factory gets to stay open. As the Professor grumbles, the rest of the crew and Slurms' babes end the episode by partying away.<br />

=== Lyrics ===<br />
*[[List of song performances#The Grunka Lunka Songs|Grunka Lunka Songs]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*According to audio commentary, Glurmo's name was originally to have been "Slurmy Slonka" - furthering the references to Willy Wonka.<br />
*Mixing Hydrogen molecules, with oxygen atoms to create water, as the Grunka Lunkas supposedly do during Slurm production, would actually cause a massive fire and blow up the tanks. Whether this was a hint to observant viewers of the upcoming plot twist or actually a goof is unknown.<br />
**Perhaps the hydrogen atoms are passed through a semipermiable membrane, one which only allows protons to pass through, and the remaining energy, which would be seen as combustion if the reaction was triggered as such, would now be transferred to the electron, both creating the pure water and electricity at the same time, with no explosion neccessary.<br />
*During the scene where Leela and the Professor, are playing [[3D Scrabble]], the Professor's current letters are F, U, U, T, A, M, and R (one A short of FUTURAMA due to 7-letter rack limit) in that order.<br />
**Also the words on the other boards are One, Eye, [[Matt Groening|Matt]], Area, Prop, Only, Donut, One, and Emu.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*{{e|1ACV11}}<br />
**[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] threatens to get both [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Gunther]] neutered.<br />
*{{e|3ACV02}}<br />
**Fry's sperm production, damaged when [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] used the [[F-Ray]] on him, is healed.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
{{cultural mentions}}<br />
*The episode's plot is a parody of both ''{{w|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' and ''{{w|Soylent Green}}''.<br />
*The Factory, the [[Grunka Lunkas]], and [[Glurmo]] are references to ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''.<br />
*The [[Slurm Queen]]'s plan of using [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to market [[New Slurm]] is a reference to {{w|New Coke}}.<br />
*[[Slurms MacKenzie]] is a reference to {{w|Spuds MacKenzie}}, a former ''{{w|Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch|Budweiser}}'' advertising mascot.<br />
*The Soylent Cola is the first of many references to ''Soylent Green'' in the show.<br />
*3D Scrabble, the game played by Leela and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], is a reference to ''[[Star Trek]]''{{'}}s 3D Chess.<br />
*The [[#Alien Language Sightings|translation]] mentions "the elusive ''yak-face''". Yak face is a rare ''[[Star Wars]]'' figure of {{sw|Saelt-Marae}} not released in the USA. Mint figures have sold for thousands of dollars. It was added because [[David X. Cohen]] owns one.<br />
*When the Professor uses the F-Ray on [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], his brain is shown to be powered by {{w|MOS Technology 6502|a 6502 CPU}} (a common CPU from the [[1980s]] used in the Apple II, Nintendo Famicom/NES, and Commodore 64 computers).<br />
*In the gift shop, the shirt Zoidberg wears says Slurm in Hebrew, adding to the Jewish persona of Zoidberg.<br />
**One of the more popular souvenirs from Israel is a t-shirt with the Coca-Cola logo in Hebrew.<br />

On the trip, the crew read a few of the letters. They all refer to the violence that Santa wrought [[Xmas Story|last year]]. Fry and Leela decide it's time to defeat Santa to bring back the joyous Xmas of Fry's time.<br />
<br />
Upon landing, they are approached by malnourished [[Neptunians]] who are actually [[Santa Claus' aides|Santa's little helpers]], and apparently desperate for food and money. They also hold each other's hands constantly, for unknown reasons (unless you listen to the commentary). Bender mentions toys, and the Neptunians reveal that, since Santa judges everyone to be naughty, the toy factory is out of service. The crew asks for volunteers to help them infiltrate the fortress, and one Neptunian wants to help. The Neptunian holding his hands is also unwillingly volunteered.<br />
<br />
Santa is checking his video monitor, looking for naughty people. He judges the act of beating a shopkeeper for not paying his protection money to be equally naughty as the shopkeeper not paying his protection money. [[Scruffy]] is also judged naughty for scratching his nose. The Neptunians bring in the sack of mail.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "No human could do all that!" ===<br />
Santa turns off his monitor with a warning to the Neptunians, who flee. The crew emerges from the mail sack, and Leela attacks Santa with a logical paradox, which causes his head to explode.<br />
<br />
Santa's head, however, was built with paradox-absorbing crumple zones. The crew runs, and Santa pursues them with a large missile launcher. The crew runs into an elevator just as Santa fires, and the missile gets lodged in the doors. As the elevator moves, it shears off the warhead, and the crew is trapped inside the elevator with it.<br />
<br />
When the elevator reaches the ground floor, the crew runs, Leela carrying the warhead. When she realizes her mistake, she drops the warhead and continues running. The crew boards a sled, and with the help of the explosion from the warhead, they are propelled down the hill toward the ship. Leela tries to take off, but Santa has meanwhile grabbed onto the engines, halting their progress.<br />
<br />
The exhaust from the engines melts the ice, and Santa sinks into the water. As Leela shuts down the ship, the ice re-freezes and Santa is trapped.<br />
<br />
The Neptunians rejoice, as they can finally start making toys again. At first, Fry volunteers to deliver the toys, but the task would be impossible for a human. Bender reluctantly takes the job.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Bender can't be Santa!" ===<br />
<br />
Bender takes to the job easily enough, though, commanding the Neptunians to bow down to him. The Neptunians break into song and start up the factory again. They make many toys, whose quality is low due to time constraints. Bender is painted red to disguise himself as Santa.<br />
<br />
Using Santa's hoversleigh, Bender arrives on Earth only to be blocked from his first chimney by a set of bars. Luckily, Bender's a bender, and he easily bends them. He offers the family inside Tri&middot;Ominos, but they don't trust him and attack him.<br />
<br />
A damaged Bender tries the next house, and is waylayed by Petunia. She attacks him with a flamethrower, and he is eventually blasted back out the chimney.<br />
<br />
On the way to the next house, Bender meets up with [[Kwanzaa-bot]]. Bender asks for help, but Kwanzaa-Bot has no time, as he must give out [[What the Hell Is Kwanza|the traditional Kwanzaa book]].<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, the crew prepares for Xmas. Fry tries the egg nog, but finds Zoidberg bathing in it. Leela reminds the Professor that Bender is Santa. He tells her she sounds like a broken Mp3, but less than two seconds later, when Bender drops through the fireplace, the Professor opens fire with his shotgun.<br />
<br />
A badly mangled Bender then dumps the toys into the sewer, which offends at least one mutant. While Bender is celebrating his genius with a drink, Smitty and Url corner him.<br />
<br />
Being mistaken for the real Santa Claus, Bender is brought before Judge Whitey to be [[New New York v. Santa Bender|tried for his "crimes"]]. The [[Hyper-Chicken]] is the prosecuting attourney in this case, while Bender chooses to represent himself. Judge Whitey finds Bender guilty, and sentences him to execution at sundown. Bender is hauled away.<br />
<br />
[[File:Zoidberg Jesus.jpg|left|thumb|Santa's good friend, Jesus.]]<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Stop the Execution!" ===<br />
At Stattica Robot Penitentiary, Bender is brought into the execution room. Meanwhile, the PE crew returns to Neptune to take the real Santa to Earth to prove Bender's innocence. However, after cutting the block of ice out of the ground, it begins to melt. The newly-reopened factory has been pumping out greenhouse gasses which have heated the atmosphere. Santa attacks, and the PE crew is forced to escape the planet without Santa. However, unbeknownst to them, Santa has stowed away on the ship.<br />
<br />
At the penitentiary, Bender is strapped into the Magnexecutioner by [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]]. He begins a countdown which may or may not ever reach zero (a random number generator).<br />
<br />
Before the countdown can complete, everybody from Planet express enters dressed as Santa, except Zoidberg, who for some reason is dressed as [[Religion#Regular Jesus|Jesus]]. However, the mayor doesn't fall for their ploy.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "Ho! Ho! Ho!" ===<br />
The random number generator reaches zero, and the electromagnets fire up, tearing Bender apart slowly. His inhibition unit is disabled and he begins to sing. Just before he is torn completely apart, the real Santa breaks through the wall and destroys the Magnexecutioner. Bender fears for his life, but Santa reveals that he actually needs Bender's help to finish the Xmas rampage. Bender agrees to help, and they both leave.<br />
<br />
Much violence ensues, though most of it is merely property damage.<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, the crew is huddled together for warmth, and Fry realizes that ''fear'' has brought them together.<br />
<br />
Bender and Santa run into Kwanzaa-Bot, who invites Bender to Chanuka Zombie's luau at the B'nai B'rith. Before he can leave, Santa gives Bender a present, which turns out to be empty. Santa warns Bender that if he impersonates Santa again, he'll be killed. Santa then ejects Bender from the hoversleigh, and flies away, leaving the city in ruin.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Although [[John Goodman]] played Santa in "[[Xmas Story]]", he was unable to return, so [[John DiMaggio]] played the part.<br />
*[[Dan Castellaneta]] was unavailable due to his work on ''The Simpsons'', so [[Maurice LaMarche]] provided the voice of the [[Robot Devil]].<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
*When we see the [[Robot Mafia]] beating a shopkeeper on Santa's video screen, [[Clamps]] is wielding a rather stiff dead cat as a weapon. This may be a reference to Simon Bond's book {{w|101 Uses of a Dead Cat}} and its sequels.<br />
*The "I'm Santa" sequence is a reference to the Stanley Kubrick film ''{{w|Spartacus (1960 film)|Spartacus}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Leela's "logical paradox" is not truly a logical paradox. It requires that Santa believes those he's judged naughty are not in fact naughty. But he clearly thinks they are, so no paradox is created. A true paradox might sound something like this: "This sentence is untrue." This could be explained, however, that Leela thinks Santa would see himself as naughty as he takes every wrongdoing as being bad, including the previous scene where the shop owner refused to pay protection money.<br />
*Petunia is barefoot when Bender first enters her apartment, but is wearing high heels when she shoots him with the flamethrower.<br />
*When [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] stands next to "Maggie" the electro-magnet execution machine, several items seem to be pulled from his coat pockets humorously, because of the magnetic pull of the magnet. This shouldn't happen because the electro-magnet is not on.<br />
**If the magnet had been turned on before, it will still carry a small charge through the magnets.<br />
*When the elves bring Santa the mail their hats are ripped by the buzz-saws extending from the sign. However, their hats are intact in the scene when Santa turns off the TV.<br />
*When Kwanzaa-bot shows Bender the book about Kwanzaa, it's incorrectly spelled "Kwanza"<br />
*Everything that happens on Neptune is impossible, because Neptune is a gaseous planet. Because of this, Santa's workshop shouldn't be based there, and the Planet Express Crew wouldn't be able to land there.<br />

'''Adolf Hitler''' was an [[Earth]]ican dictator who served as Chancellor of [[Germany]].<br />
<br />
== Adolf Hitler in ''Futurama'' ==<br />
His brain was once put in the body of [[Adolf Hitler Shark|a great white shark]] by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] in favour of scientific advances {{et|2ACV10}}. He is often referenced [[in popular culture]], as well as in common dialogue as a symbol of prejudice. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] called [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] an ''Adolf'' {{et|2ACV06}}, the steering wheel from Hitler's staff car was used to help build [[Project Satan]] {{et|2ACV18}}, and Hitler was played by an unknown [[Human]] actor in the second episode of ''[[The Scary Door]]'', a popular [[Television|TV]] show in the [[31st century]] {{et|3ACV15}}.<br />
<br />
When the [[Planet Express crew]] went to the [[second universe]] with a [[forward time machine]], the Professor stopped in the [[20th century]] to [[handheld laser cannon|shoot]] Hitler, and was successful {{et|6ACV07}}. In the [[third universe]], however, Farnsworth didn't manage to kill ''him'', as he hit [[Eleanor Roosevelt]] by mistake. (See [[The Late Philip J. Fry#Time travel|an explanation of this with a picture]].)<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*He was born exactly 110 years before "[[Fear of a Bot Planet]]" first aired on [[Fox Network]]. This episode dealt with extremely racist [[Robots]].<br />
*The most common way of keeping Human heads alive is the technology of [[head jars]]. For reasons unknown, the scientists at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] chose to save Hitler's brain in a very unusual way. (It's possible they didn't actually keep him alive, as he proved himself to be a dangerous person back in the [[20th century]].)<br />

"'''Zapp Dingbat'''" is the one hundred and nineteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fifth of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 9|ninth broadcast season]]. It originally aired on 11 July 2012<ref name="MSN"/> on [[Comedy Central]]. [[Leela]] is upset when [[Turanga Munda|her mother]] starts dating [[Zapp Brannigan]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Act I: "Leela, you never told me you had a mother." ===<br />
Leela hosts a 40th anniversary party for her parents. However, during a video montage of their history together, they begin to argue about the direction their lives have taken: [[Turanga Munda|her mother]], an exolinguist, wants to explore the universe now that they are no longer legally constrained to the sewers, while [[Turanga Morris|her father]] fears outer space and wants to surf the great sewer waves of the world. The conflicts lead to them getting a divorce, and Munda moving in with Leela.<br />
<br />
When Leela (along with Fry and Bender) takes her mother out to a bar, they encounter Zapp Branigan in negotiation with shark-like aliens called Carcarons; he botches the negotiations with his poor command of their language, severely insulting them; however, Munda is able to salvage the situation by speaking the language properly. Zapp begins flirting with Munda, and the two begin dating. <br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Sex with Zapp! Sex with Zapp! Sex with Zapp!" ===<br />
Leela strongly disapproves of the relationship, convinced that he is attempting to get to her through her mother, but no one believes her, and Munda thinks that she is just jealous. Zapp then hires Munda as his personal translator so the two can spend more time together and she can explore the universe as she always wanted.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Morris is not coping with divorce as well; Leela convinces him to take Fry and Bender on the surfing trip he had always dreamed of, which cheers him up greatly. Although both of her parents are now happy, Leela is still relentless in her attempts to break up her mother and Zapp. Ultimately Munda decides to move out of her daughter's apartment. Leela attempts to prove her theory that Zapp is really interested in her by inviting him over for dinner. She tries to seduce him when he arrives, but he refuses her, insisting that he loves Munda. Munda hears this, Zapp proposes to her, and she accepts.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "We're under attack and the wedding's off. Kiff, return fire AND the cake." ===<br />
At the last minute, Fry convinces Leela to support her mother's decision and attend the wedding. In the middle of the ceremony, however, the Carcarons arrive to sign a peace treaty, and Zapp and Munda must meet with them. During the meeting, Zapp reveals that he is planning to trick the Carcarons into war; Munda is horrified by this, and calls off the wedding. She also tells the Carcarons of Zapp's plan, causing them to declare war anyway. Moreover, the Nimbus has been disabled, and can only be operated by an auxiliary control panel. Morris appears, determined to win back Munda, and uses his surfing skills to help the ship ride the energy wave attacks of the Carcarons. Once peace is achieved, Zapp remarries Munda and Morris.<br />

== Additional information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
<br />
*The title "'''Blue Munda'''", which was registered on the US {{w|Copyright Catalog}} on 8 September 2011,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=19&ti=1,19&Search_Arg=futurama&Search_Code=TALL&CNT=25&REC=0&RD=0&RC=0&PID=C5ZaUi7C0eBdvjsbzV0f7HutovTJ&SEQ=20120229183413&SID=1|date=2011-09-08|title=WebVoyage Record View 1|site=US {{w|Copyright Catalog}}|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref> was possibly a working title for this episode.<br />
*Fry and Bender rarely appear in the episode.<br />
*The name "[[Carcaron]]" stems from the genus name "''Carcharodon''" for the great white shark.<ref name="Countdown to Futurama 6"/><br />
*When Leela spies on Zapp and Munda onboard the '''Nimbus''', she goes incognito wearing the same disguise she wore in "[[War is the H-Word]]" as Lee Lemon.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
*The episode's title is a reference to {{w|Zapf Dingbats}}, a common typeface which is composed almost entirely of symbols.<br />
*The headdress worn by Bender is a reference to the headdress worn by the late Portuguese-born Brazilian performer {{w|Carmen Miranda}} in the 1943 film ''{{w|The Gang's All Here (1943 film)|The Gang's All Here}}''.<br />
*[[Supernova Scotia]]'s name<ref name="Countdown to Futurama 5"/> is a reference to the Canadian province of {{w|Nova Scotia}}.<br />

**{{w|Lightsabers}} from ''Star Wars'' were used to play pool.<br />
**The scene with the dancing hologram in the club is a parody of the infamous ''Star Wars'' Holiday Special.<br />
*Zapp asking Kif to get out on the wing and pretend to be a gremlin is a reference to ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode ''{{w|Nightmare at 20,000 Feet}}''. [[William Shatner]], an inspirational source for Zapp's character, starred in the episode.<br />
*Leela says "I don't wanna put a rat in your face-cage," to her father; this is a reference to the ''{{w|Room 101}}'' scene in ''{{w|Nineteen Eighty-Four}}.''<br />
*Leela has a potted {{w|The Lorax|Truffula tree}} in her apartment.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
{{cleanup}}<br />
*The fact that mutants are free to be on the surface has been reestablished, although it turns out few of the mutants want to live on the surface anyway.<br />
*Turanga Munda's studies in exolinguistics (the study of alien languages) has been reestablished since the episode "[[Leela's Homeworld]]".<br />
*The nameplate on [[Al Gore's head]] jar says "Lance Starman". When Gore [[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular|last appeared]], he said that he would return as [[Captain Lance Starman]].<br />

**The [[universal translator]]<ref name="Countdown to Futurama 5"/> was last seen.<br />
*{{e|3ACV10}}<br />
**Zapp Brannigan explains to Kif, "The quickest way into a girl's bed, is through her parents, have sex with them and you're in." Which possibly could mean that Zapp was still making an effort to seduce Leela despite his feelings for Turanga Munda.<br />

'''Scruffy''' is the undead janitor at [[Planet Express]] and is the only person working for Planet Express who isn't a [[:Category:Primary Characters|primary character]]. He reads pornography, and believes in his company, as evident by his purchase of 30,000 more shares of Planet Express than the rest of its employees. The other members of staff only see him occasionally, and rarely recognize him when they do. Sometimes he doesn't recognize them either.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Little is known about Scruffy's background, but he has been working at the [[Planet Express]] delivery company since at least [[2995]], when he became [[The Prisoner of Benda|employee of the year]]. It has also been implied that Scruffy died once, as [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] mentions bringing him back "as a zombie" {{et|6ACV16}}. In the early years of the [[3000s|31st century]], he also took several other jobs, for example at the [[Le Spa]] and as a roadie for the [[Beastie Boys]].<br />
<br />
He entered the [[Panama Wormhole]], after helping to rescue his colleagues, along with all the other Planet Express staff members ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]]), and was killed and then reborn a short time later {{et|6ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
At the end of "[[Neutopia]]", Scruffy was in the bathroom while all other characters were having their genders corrected, but in "[[Yo Leela Leela]]" Scruffy appeared as a male.<br />
<br />
In a coverage of the Futurama panel at San Diego Comic Con 2011, it was stated that "Scruffy will get a boon as well, becoming a notary next year!"<ref>http://www.ugo.com/tv/comic-con-2011-futurama-coverage-and-panel</ref><br />

<br />
=== Friendships and relationships ===<br />
Though no-one at [[Planet Express]] seemed to know him in year [[3000]], he and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] seems to have developed a friendship off-stage. Fry once said that he didn't tell anyone about the location of his seven leaf clover - "not even Scruffy" {{et|3ACV04}}. Fry is also shown having everyone's phone numbers, but he has two to Scruffy, home and cell ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]])<br />
<br />
Scruffy also accompanies the rest of the crew to a [[Sith-il War]] Reenactment {{et|6ACV06}}. For no apparent reason, he was seen cooking [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] on a spit later in the same episode.<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], Scruffy's [[wash bucket]] changes bodies with [[Amy Wong]], and confesses her feelings for him. While admitting his own love, he realises that it's wrong, even in a human body, as they are too different - him, a man, and her, janitorial equipment. He ultimately asks her to leave before he changes his mind, and falls back crying to his bed {{et|6ACV10}}<br />
<br />
Sometime before the events of "[[Law and Oracle]]" Scruffy died, and was revived as a zombie.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
[[File:Scruffy 1.jpg|right|thumb|Scruffy's first appearance.]]<br />
<br />
Scruffy was originally just a background character seen working various jobs, and the colour of his hat, hair and mustache often changed between appearances. Writers brought him in on the murder scene of "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" because they were running out of non-dead characters at [[Planet Express]], and from there on his permanent role as the janitor of Planet Express was cemented when he was brought back in later episodes without changing jobs.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[Matt Groening]] has stated that Scruffy was named after "a bar in {{w|Venice, California|Venice}}".<ref name="Podcast">{{cite web | url = http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/futurama-countdown-to-futurama/id526059138 | title = iTunes - Podcasts - Futurama: Countdown to Futurama by Comedy Central (Week 6) | author = [[Comedy Central]] | date = 2011-06-13 | site = {{w|iTunes Store}} | accessdate = 2011-05-16}}</ref> He is presumably referring to Scruffy O'Shea's, a restaurant located in Venice, California.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.lunchspark.com/scruffy-osheas,venice,ca | title = Scruffy O'Shea's - Venice Restaurant | site = Lunchspark | accessdate = 2011-05-16}}</ref><br />
*Scruffy puts cameras up in every room in "[[Futurama Returns]]".<br />
*A comment made by [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] in "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]" ("I didn't reveal the clover's location to anyone. Not even to Scruffy!") suggests that the two may have become close friends. But, at the time, this was more likely to be a joke on the fact that everyone always seem not to know who Scruffy is. However, in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'' Fry is shown to keep two of Scruffy's numbers, vs. one of everyone else's. This seems to extend the joke even further.<br />
*Before the episode "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", when his real job was cemented, Scruffy had different seen jobs not in Planet Express.<br />
**He had a career at [[Le Spa]].<br />
**He also worked as a roadie for the [[Beastie Boys]].<br />
*"[[The Sting]]" suggests he might be Scottish, though this was during Leela's coma dream.<br />
*His hair turned gray prior to (or during) "Anthology of Interest I". The hair and hat colour alternates between old and new during that episode.<br />
*Scruffy is regularly seen with adult magazines such as ''[[National Pornographic]]'', ''[[Play-Boy-Ar-De]]'', ''[[Zero-G-Juggs]]'', ''[[Extra Long Honkers]]'', etc. He reads the articles.<br />
*Has yet to complete his masters in Theoretical Janitorial Science.<br />
*Scruffy's character is based on Billy Bob Thorton's character (Karl Childers) in the movie ''Sling Blade''<br />
*The October page of the 2008 [[Futurama Calendars|Futurama wall calendar]] states that his last name is "Scruffington", this may not be [[canon]].<br />
*Scruffy often refers to himself in the third person when he talks, except when he has to introduce himself, in which case he will say "I'm Scruffy, the janitor".<br />
*Has both a home and cell phone available to be called on Fry's cell phone in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*In ''[[Bender's Game]]'', he became a person who apparently cleans up after the [[Centaurs]].<br />
*He has more stock than the rest of the Planet Express crew, making him the largest shareholder in the company.<br />
*It is implied he has been imprisoned at some point in his life.<br />
