in him for nothing?

Don't worry, the Professor

won't even remember

that he has a spaceship.

(LEELA GASPS)

My precious spaceship.

My lone source of joy

in the cold December of my days.

Come, friends. Let's take her for a spin

to the malt shop like old times.

Leela to Zoidberg.

Execute Distraction Protocol Alpha.

ZOIDBERG ON RADIO: Roger that.

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!

Don't look at me.

(HERMES GASPING)

Yes, she's a wonderful ship, all right.

As beautiful now

as the day I got botched laser eye surgery.

Now, that's odd.

What's the fuel gauge doing on the...

(FARNSWORTH GASPING)

Great Godzilla's gonads!

Who wasted precious fuel?

Answer now or be punished.

-(SIGHING) All right, fine. I admit it.

-You will be punished.

Oh, my gosh, 20!

Yeah.

Your pole arm does double damage,

and the gelatinous cube dies

in horrible poverty.

(GASPING)

-All right.

-Hooray.

I proceed to cast a spell of darkness.

Most ingenious.

-Bender?

-Me?

I cast a spell of darkness.

(EXCLAIMS)

Pretty imaginative, huh?

No, you just did the same thing as me,

but with a dumb noise.

Oh...

You're right. I'm great in every way

except I have no imagination.

All I ever wanted is to play

this magical game and I can't.

Yes, you can. You just have

to lose yourself in the fantasy.

You have to believe the impossible

is merely preposterous.

Okay. Here goes.

Visor down.

I believe, I believe.

Ooh.

I did it! I imagined something.

For 1.3 milliseconds,

I truly believed I was a noble robot

in days of yonder.

Way to go, Bender.

What is thy character's name, good sir?

Uh, um...

I am Titanius lnglesmith,

fancy man of Cornwood.

(BOYS EXCLAIM)

(DOOR OPENS)

Everybody out of the conference room.

I am calling a conference.

Everybody get in here.

You wasted precious fuel just because

you were insulted by some redneck yokel

from beyond the stars?

-It was only half a ball.

-That's not the point.

Your temper is out of control.

And to think I'd have never even known

if it weren't for the lengthy

and unsolicited tattling of Dr. Zoidberg.

She also took home

two rolls of Scotch tape.

Thank you, Dr. Zoidberg.

Hermes, incentivize that employee.

As for you, Leela, I'm letting you off

with a warning.

Oh, thank you.

A warning that will be administered

by this 50,000-volt shock collar.

Zoidberg, I'm gonna put my boot

so far up your cloaca, you'll be...

Ow!

The collar will be triggered any time

your thoughts turn to violence.

Profanity.

Son of a...

Or perversions of a sexual nature.

Ow!

Sorry, it's the only collar

they had in stock at Office Depot.

I hope you picked up some Scotch tape

while you were there.

BENDER:
That's a good one.

Matt Groening

Matthew Abraham Groening ( ( listen) GRAY-ning; born February 15, 1954) is an American cartoonist, writer, producer, animator, and voice actor. He is the creator of the comic strip Life in Hell (1977–2012) and the television series The Simpsons (1989–present), Futurama (1999–2003, 2008–2013), and the upcoming Disenchantment (2018). The Simpsons is the longest-running U.S. primetime-television series in history and the longest-running U.S. animated series and sitcom. Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of Life in Hell to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978. At its peak, the cartoon was carried in 250 weekly newspapers. Life in Hell caught the attention of James L. Brooks. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the Fox variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, the Simpson family, and named the members after his own parents and sisters—while Bart was an anagram of the word brat. The shorts would be spun off into their own series The Simpsons, which has since aired 639 episodes. In 1997, Groening and former Simpsons writer David X. Cohen developed Futurama, an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in 1999, running for four years on Fox, then picked up by Comedy Central for additional seasons. Groening is currently developing a new series for Netflix titled Disenchantment, which is set to premiere in 2018. Groening has won 12 Primetime Emmy Awards, ten for The Simpsons and two for Futurama as well as a British Comedy Award for "outstanding contribution to comedy" in 2004. In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for his work on Life in Hell. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 14, 2012. more…
