===Act I: Little Nibbler's been coughing up hairballs!=== | |||
Both Nibbler and Fry have been coughing up hairballs, though Nibbler seems to have Fry beat. Hermes nominates Dr. Zoidberg to clean up the mess, and during a vote, Zoidberg is mysteriously silent. Fry declares, "He's dead." But then Zoidberg enters the room, revealing that the "corpse" was in fact Zoidberg's shell, which he moulted after having outgrown it. He picks up the shell and takes it to the dumpser out back. After he leaves, Amy's cell-phone rings. She answers, only to hear incomprehensible 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, Zapp realizes that Amy knows Leela, whom he is constantly trying to seduce. Zapp contacts Leela and, after a negotiation, sets up half a double-date. For the date, they all go to the 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. However, lines such as "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies," causes Leela to proclaim the date over. However, before storming out, they are stopped by Kif's emotional Karaoke performance. Kif's performance is interruped by Zapp's horrible, spoken-word rendition of "Lola" in which he's replaced the name Lola with Leela. | |||
All the patrons of the resaurant 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. | |||
===Act II: Sir, I don't go out on many dates.=== | |||
Back at [[Planet Express]], Zoidberg tries on some shells from his new catalogue. However, his stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans offends Bender, who is a Mexican ("Hecho en Mexico"). Zoidberg tries another shell, 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. | |||
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 señoritas. | |||
Meanwhile, Leela is wondering what planet they're on, when Zapp claims the sector is uncharted. 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. | |||
=== | |||
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 fem-puter who hates men. The Fem-puter takes her leave to decide the men's fate. | |||
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 "snu-snu", and reveal that the last men who visited Amazonia died of crushed pelvises. The Fem-puter returns and sentences the men to death… by ''snu-snu''. | |||
===Act III: Where are all the men in your society?=== | |||
Leela makes an appeal for her friends, but the Fem-puter 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. | |||
Zapp is sentenced to be snu-snu'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.

In the snu-snu chambers, the punishment continues, and Leela decides that Bender is taking too long.

The Story
Act I: Little Nibbler's been coughing up hairballs!
Both Nibbler and Fry have been coughing up hairballs, though Nibbler seems to have Fry beat. Hermes nominates Dr. Zoidberg to clean up the mess, and during a vote, Zoidberg is mysteriously silent. Fry declares, "He's dead." But then Zoidberg enters the room, revealing that the "corpse" was in fact Zoidberg's shell, which he moulted after having outgrown it. He picks up the shell and takes it to the dumpser out back. After he leaves, Amy's cell-phone rings. She answers, only to hear incomprehensible mumbling, then the caller hangs up.
The person on the other end is revealed to be Lieutenant Kroker, who has been infatuated with Amy since the incident aboard the Titanic (1ACV10). After revealing this to Zapp, Zapp realizes that Amy knows Leela, whom he is constantly trying to seduce. Zapp contacts Leela and, after a negotiation, sets up half a double-date. For the date, they all go to the 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. However, lines such as "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies," causes Leela to proclaim the date over. However, before storming out, they are stopped by Kif's emotional Karaoke performance. Kif's performance is interruped by Zapp's horrible, spoken-word rendition of "Lola" in which he's replaced the name Lola with Leela.
All the patrons of the resaurant 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.
Act II: Sir, I don't go out on many dates.
Back at Planet Express, Zoidberg tries on some shells from his new catalogue. However, his stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans offends Bender, who is a Mexican ("Hecho en Mexico"). Zoidberg tries another shell, 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.
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 señoritas.
Meanwhile, Leela is wondering what planet they're on, when Zapp claims the sector is uncharted. 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.
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 fem-puter who hates men. The Fem-puter takes her leave to decide the men's fate.
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 "snu-snu", and reveal that the last men who visited Amazonia died of crushed pelvises. The Fem-puter returns and sentences the men to death… by snu-snu.
Act III: Where are all the men in your society?
Leela makes an appeal for her friends, but the Fem-puter 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 manbot, not a man.
Zapp is sentenced to be snu-snu'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.
The men are taken into the snu-snu chambers, and Leela tells Bender to interface with the Fem-puter to rescue the men from their fate.
Act IV: Where go beautiful man?
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 Fem-puter. The fembot tells Bender that she disguised herself to rule the Amazonians, because of her oppression on her homeworld, which was ruled by a man-puter that was really a manbot.
In the snu-snu 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 snu-snu chamber containing Kif, and absconds with him. However, she is cornered in the Fem-puter chamber, where the Fem-puter orders the Amazonians to release all the prisoners (and demands gold, somehow in Bender's voice).
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 asks Amy what she'd like to do, and she whispers something in his ear. His response is flustered, incomprehensible mumbling.
