Open in a scene in Planet Express, a company meeting. Fry, Bender, Leela,
Dr. Zoidberg, and Amy are sitting around the table while Hermes lectures
them.
Hermes: Okay, crew. Today we will be delivering a crate of atom bombs to the
planet Explosia....
Close in on Fry, Hermes`s words fade and Fry`s thoughts come through.
Fry (Voice over of his thoughts): Here we go again. We have to deliver a
package, we go do it, and I screw up and get yelled at. Well, today isn`t
going to be like that! I`m going to do everything perfect! Then maybe I`ll
get that one cent raise I`ve been trying for. Starting .... now.
Fry gets a determined look on his face and leans back in his chair, then he
leans back to far and falls on the floor.
Fry: Ooomph!
Leela & Hermes: Fry!!
FUTURAMA THEME
The professor walks into the meeting room carrying a notice.
Professor: Oh, dear. It seems we won`t be making that delivery today on a
count of the planet Explosia exploded this morning.
Bender: Free day off!
The crew cheers and runs out of the room. They gather by the couch just in
time for "All My Circuits".
Calculon`s half brother (on TV): Beep! Beep! Beep!
Monique (on TV): He`s right, Calculon. It was all my fault, it`s over
between us!
Fry: I`m going to get something to drink.
Fry leaves through the door leading towards the kitchen.
Morbo (on TV): ....we interrupt this program to bring you an important
announcement.
The crew stops to pay attention to the TV.
Morbo (on TV): There has been a sudden outbreak of Michael Jackson`s disease.
The deadly plague has instant effects that include whitening of skin and
other more serious effects in crucial cases. If there is any hint of
contamination on a puny human, bring then to the nearest hospital as soon as
possible.
Everyone gasps.
Professor: Well, we really have nothing to worry about. All human babies
born since the year 2570 have been vaccinated at birth.
Everyone nods and relaxes. Suddenly, there is the thump of a body hitting
the floor coming from the kitchen. Nothing happens for a few seconds until
the gang realizes what it was and runs to the kitchen (except for Bender).
Fry is lying on the floor looking pale and in pain. The Slurm can he was
getting in the kitchen is on the floor beside him. Everyone gasps. Leela
runs to him and kneels down.
Leela: Fry! Are you alright?
Fry (In pain): (moans) I don`t feel so good.
Leela (worried): We have to get you to a hospital right away!
Fry (In pain): No way! There`s no way you can convince me to go to a
hospital! Forget it, Leela. (moans)
Cut to an ambulance floating down the street, sirens blaring.
