Monkey Around

by: Drew Ciccotelli

Setting: Space Monkey HQ

Monkey King (Voice of James Earl Jones): “We must find help.”

Monkey Guard: “Sir, the enemy is attacking.”

Monkey Guard 2: “We must get you to a safe location.”

Monkey King: “I mustn’t leave my people to be enslaved.”

Monkey Guard: “You can’t help your people if you are captured.”

Monkey King: “Very well, but I must send for help.” “Look in the Yellow Pages.”

Monkey Guard 2: “What about Planet Express?” “ They might be able to come to our aid it says they are courageous, smart, dependable, the best in the Galaxy.”

Monkey King: “They may be our only hope, send them this distress call.”

The message is sent and as soon as it disappears the enemy breaks through the door of the palace.

Futurama Theme

Farnsworth’s Lab

Bender is asleep on the couch and Fry is watching the TV with some junk food on the floor.

Bender: “ZZZZZ.”

Fry: “Hey, Bender!”

Bender: “ZZZZ...Huh, what, were am I, who are you, oh its you.” “What you want?”

Fry: “I’m bored, we haven’t done anything in three days and the surroundings are getting old.”

Bender: “Just enjoy it, it’s better than the Professor coming in with some stupid package to deliver to Snot planet in the Mucus System.”

Professor, Leela, and Amy walk in with a disk in hand.

Professor: “Hello all, today we haven’t a package to deliver but we will get paid none the less.”

Leela: “We got a distress call from Arango V today telling us that they needed the bravest, strongest, and smartest crew to come help them fight off the invaders that are taking over their planet, and since they couldn’t find them they choose us instead.”

Fry: “When do we leave?” Leela: “You’re in a rush today aren’t you Fry.”

Fry: “This is what I wanted to do since I took this job and also because I am bored out of my skin.”

Professor: “Well then it is settled.”

Bender: “What about my arguments?”

Leela: “Does anyone want to here Bender’s arguments?”

All: “NO!”

Bender: “Fine then I won’t say anything then.”

On the bridge of the ship

Leela: “Here is the people we must help.”

Leela shows them a hologram of the Arangozians.

Leela: “They are a short people resembling monkeys and apes.”

Bender: “Funny monkey.”

Next Leela shows the enemy of the Arangozians

Leela: “They are tall people with red capes over their body covering everything except their eyes.”

Fry: “I changed my mind I don’t need to be a hero.”

Amy: “Here is the distress call you said to clean up Leela.”

Amy places it on the ground and a small hologram appears.

Monkey King Hologram: “Help me Planet Express you’re my only hope.”

Bender: “Didn’t I see that somewhere before?”

Fry: “We must help them even if we die trying.”

Leela: “Who are you and what have you done with Fry?”

They land in the Jungle a few miles away from the Arango’s Capital where the distress call had originated.

Fry: “This place is huge.”

Bender: “It also has it supply of huge animals.”

Just then a huge flying bird picks up Fry and he screams until he is out of site of the group

Fry: “Why me?!”

The bird drops him in a hole in the ground were he is greeted by two monkeys who approached him with weapons in hand.

Monkey 1: “Seize him.”

Monkey 2: “In the name of the Great King Moondar what is your name.”

Fry: “Uh, my name, oh right, I am Fry.” Monkey 1: “Why have you come to this planet for?”

Fry: “I am from Planet Express Shipping.”

Monkey 2: “Praise the Great Lord Bananagova.”

Monkey 1: “Greetings then friend come with us.”

They walk down the catacombs to a giant room with torches on the wall and the Monkey King sitting in a large throne at the end of the room.

Monkey 1: “Follow me.”

King Moondar: “Greetings Fry of Planet Express your presence is a very joyful occasion.”

Fry: “Why am I here.”

King Moondar: “You have been summoned to help us defeat the Red Cloaks, a people that came from the sky and have come to plunder this rich and fertile land.”

Fry: “But I still don’t know why one man can stand to defeat an entire army of unknown strength?”

King Moondar: “You see we have found their weakness, they cannot destroy humans only apes for some reason or another it is against their laws.” “We need you to talk to them about what they want and if they will stop their tyranny on this beautiful world.” “Will you help us?”

Fry: “Yes, but I need to find my friends first.”

Kings Moondar: “Excellent, we will find your friends and then you can help us get rid of this threat.”

Later Fry, Leela, and Bender board the Red Cloaks Space ship using a cloak created by the Arangozians.

Bender: “So tell me why are we doing this again?”

Fry: “To help the Arangozians.”

Bender: “Why are we helping them?”

Leela: “Bender will you shut up.”

Bender (under his breath): “Bender shut up.”

Leela: “Wait a minute that is Zapp Brannigan’s ship.”

Fry: “I should have known.”

Leela: “Open a channel to the idiot’s ship.” “This is Leela of the Planet Express remember me Zapp?”

Zapp: “What is that beeping Kif?”

Kif: “Well sir if you ever looked at you’re your ship’s manual you would see that someone is hailing us.” “It is the Planet Express ship and they seem pretty angry.”

Zapp: “So Leela have you come back for some sweet sweet candy?”

Kif: “Sir you have to push the button first.” Zapp: “Leela have you returned for some sweet sweet candy?

Leela: “First of all no and second of all get your Democratic Order of Planets eradication crew off that planet now or I will be forced to call the Killbots with the help of my friend Bender to come over and eradicate you okay you pompous idiot.”

Zapp: “Very well, I shall remove my men from this worthless planet and leave not because you said but because of other reasons.”

Fry: “Yeah we did it.”

Back on the surface

King Moondar: “Fry of Planet Express thank you for freeing my people from the Red Cloaks and saving our planet.” “ I give to you this medal of bravery and honor.” “For your great deed you are a hero and I give you my daughter’s hand in marriage.” “Come my Princess.”

A ten-foot gorilla appears out from behind a curtain.

Princess: “Come here love muffin.”

Bender: “I think she’s a keeper.”

Fry runs screaming out of the room and the Princess runs after him.

Princess: “Come back sweety.”

Fry: “WHY ME?!”

Chief Wiggim: “Now that’s the end of that chapter.”
