Idiocracy Page #5

Synopsis: Officer Collins has been spearheading one of the US Army's most secretive experiments to date: the Human Hibernation Project. If successful, the project would store its subjects indefinitely until they are needed most. Their first test subject - Joe Bauers - was not chosen for his superiority. Instead, he's chosen because he's the most average guy in the armed services. But scandal erupts after the experiment takes place, the base is closed, and the president disavows any knowledge of the project. Unfortunately Joe doesn't wake up in a year, he wakes up in 500 years! But during that time human evolution has taken a dramatic down turn. After waking up, Joe takes a prison-assigned IQ test and finds that he's the smartest guy alive! Awaiting a full presidential pardon if he can solve one of the country's biggest problems - the dwindling plant population, Joe races against time to solve this problem. But in doing so he alienates half the country in the process! Can he make things right and

[ Narrator] Joe was arrested for not

paying his hospital bill...

and not having

his U.R.C. Tattoo.

He would soon discover that

in the future, justice was not only blind...

but had become

rather retarded as well.

You shut up! Now-

[ Clears Throat ]

So, put your hands together

and give it up for Frito Rendejo.

You're my lawyer?

Says here you, uh,

robbed a hospital?

- Why'd you do that?

- Yeah. I'm not guilty.

- That's not what the other lawyer said.

- What do you mean what the-

Listen, you gotta get me

on the stand, okay?

I can explain everything. We can take 'em

to your house, show 'em the pod.

Shut upl Shut upl Shut upl

Now, prosecutor,

Okay, number one, Your Honor,

[ All Laughing ]

- He talks like a fag too.

- [ Laughing Continues ]

And "B," we've got all this,

like, evidence...

of how, like, this guy didn't

even pay at the hospital.

And I heard that he doesn't

And I'm all, "You've gotta be shittin' me."

But check this out, man.
