1. Good news, everyone.
Copy !req
2. Tomorrow, you'll be making a delivery
to Ebola 9, the virus planet.
Copy !req
3. Why can't they go today?
Copy !req
4. Because tonight's a special night
and I want all of you to be alive.
Copy !req
5. It's the Academy of Inventors'
annual symposium.
Copy !req
6. Wow. I love symposia.
Copy !req
7. It's the event of the scientific season.
Copy !req
8. Every member presents an invention
and the best one wins the Academy prize.
Copy !req
9. Sounds boring.
Copy !req
10. Oh, my, yes, but not this year
Copy !req
11. because my latest invention is unbeatable.
Copy !req
12. Behold,
Copy !req
13. the death clock.
Copy !req
14. Simply jam your finger in the hole
Copy !req
15. and this readout tells you
exactly how long you have left to live.
Copy !req
16. Does it really work?
Copy !req
17. Well, it's occasionally off
by a few seconds,
Copy !req
18. what with free will and all.
Copy !req
19. Sounds like fun.
Copy !req
20. How long do I have to live?
Copy !req
21. Ooh, dibs on his CD player!
Copy !req
22. Who's the gross nerd?
Copy !req
23. That's me, at the very first symposium.
Copy !req
24. I'm the Academy's
oldest living member, you know.
Copy !req
25. These youngsters all look up to me.
Copy !req
26. - Well, well, well.
Copy !req
27. Look who decided
to show his wrinkled face.
Copy !req
28. Why don't you
just leave me alone, Wernstrom?
Copy !req
29. Face it, Farnsworth, you're over the hill.
Copy !req
30. It's time to leave science
to the 120-year-olds.
Copy !req
31. You young turks think you know everything.
Copy !req
32. I was inventing things
when you were barely turning senile.
Copy !req
33. Go home before
you embarrass yourself, old man.
Copy !req
34. Now, if you'll excuse me,
Copy !req
35. I'm going to take a nap
before the ceremonies.
Copy !req
36. Who's that jerk?
Copy !req
37. A hundred years ago,
Copy !req
38. he was my most promising student
at Mars University,
Copy !req
39. but then, after one fateful pop quiz...
Copy !req
40. A-minus?
Copy !req
41. No one gives Ogden Wernstrom an A-minus.
Copy !req
42. I'm sorry, but penmanship counts.
Copy !req
43. I swear I'll have my revenge
if it takes me a hundred years.
Copy !req
44. And here it is
Copy !req
45. Slightly over 99 years later
and still no revenge.
Copy !req
46. I'm essentially in the clear.
Copy !req
47. I've been perusing
your fortified wine list
Copy !req
48. and I've selected the '71 Hobo's Delight,
Copy !req
49. the '57 Chateau Part-ay
and the '66 Thunder-Schewitz.
Copy !req
50. Exquisite choices, sir.
Copy !req
51. And mix them all together in a big jug.
Copy !req
52. Welcome to this year's Academy symposium.
Copy !req
53. I'm your host, Ron Popeil,
Copy !req
54. inventor of Mr. Microphone,
the spray-on toupee
Copy !req
55. and, of course, the technology
to keep human heads alive in jars.
Copy !req
56. But wait, there's more!
Copy !req
57. We've got a whole lineup
of inventors tonight,
Copy !req
58. starting with
that up-and-coming young star,
Copy !req
59. Ogden Wernstrom.
Copy !req
60. Boo!
Copy !req
61. More wine!
Copy !req
62. Distinguished members of the Academy,
Copy !req
63. I present to you the reverse scuba suit.
Copy !req
64. Observe.
Copy !req
65. Fetch.
Copy !req
66. Now sit.
Copy !req
67. I said sit!
Copy !req
68. Bad fish!
Copy !req
69. - Oh...
- Don't worry, Professor.
Copy !req
70. It's no competition for your death clock.
Copy !req
71. And what will you be presenting
this evening, Grandpa?
Copy !req
72. Let's just say it'll put
you young whippersnappers in your place.
Copy !req
73. I just hope it's not as lame
Copy !req
74. as that death clock
you presented last year.
Copy !req
75. - Eh, "last year," you say?
- That's right.
Copy !req
76. Oh, my.
Copy !req
77. Did it put you young whippersnappers
in your place?
Copy !req
78. Hardly.
Copy !req
79. We laughed until our teeth fell out.
Copy !req
80. Come along, Cinnamon.
Copy !req
81. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
82. I'll have to invent something new
in the next 10 minutes,
Copy !req
83. perhaps some sort of death clock.
Copy !req
84. Uh, professor?
Copy !req
85. Our last presentation
comes from our oldest member,
Copy !req
86. Professor Hubert Farnsworth.
Copy !req
87. Professor?
Copy !req
88. Uh... Just a second. Just a second.
Copy !req
89. Pencils down, prune face.
Copy !req
90. Oh, yes, here I am.
Okay, now. Hello there.
Copy !req
91. Now, we all know telescopes
allow us to see distant objects,
Copy !req
92. but what if we want
to smell distant objects?
Copy !req
93. Well, now we can,
Copy !req
94. thanks to my new invention,
Copy !req
95. the Smelloscope.
Copy !req
96. The odor travels past
this coffee stain here,
Copy !req
97. around the olive pit
and into this cigar burn.
Copy !req
98. And this appears to be a... a...
Copy !req
99. doodle of myself as a cowboy.
Copy !req
100. But the Smelloscope
is brilliant, I tell you!
Copy !req
101. Think of the astronomical odors
you'll smell, thanks to me!
Copy !req
102. Oh, my.
Copy !req
103. I've waited a hundred years
for this, Farnsworth.
Copy !req
104. I give your invention
the worst grade imaginable,
Copy !req
105. an A-minus-minus!
Copy !req
106. And now for the presentation of the award.
Copy !req
107. Listen, folks,
I'm practically giving this prize away
Copy !req
108. to Dr. Wernstrom for his fish thingy.
Copy !req
109. Perhaps 149 is just too old
to be a scientist.
Copy !req
110. - Yep.
- No, Professor. Don't give up.
Copy !req
111. There were plenty of times in my century
Copy !req
112. when I was gonna give up,
but I never did. Never.
Copy !req
113. Hey, are you even listening to me?
Copy !req
114. Oh, I give up.
Copy !req
115. By God, you're right!
Copy !req
116. I'm going to build that Smelloscope.
Copy !req
117. Eureka!
Copy !req
118. Did you build the Smelloscope?
Copy !req
119. No. I remembered
that I built one last year.
Copy !req
120. Go ahead, try it.
Copy !req
121. You'll find that every heavenly body
has its own particular scent.
Copy !req
122. Here, I'll point it at Jupiter.
Copy !req
123. Smells like strawberries.
Copy !req
124. Exactly.
Copy !req
125. And now Saturn.
Copy !req
126. Pine needles.
Copy !req
127. Oh, man, this is great.
Copy !req
128. As long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
Copy !req
129. I don't get it.
Copy !req
130. I'm sorry, Fry,
Copy !req
131. but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620
Copy !req
132. to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Copy !req
133. Oh. What's it called now?
Copy !req
134. Urectum.
Copy !req
135. - Here, let me locate it for you.
- How about...
Copy !req
136. No, no, I think I'll just
smell around a bit over here.
Copy !req
137. Hmm.
Copy !req
138. Hmm.
Copy !req
139. What is it?
Copy !req
140. Oh, jeez, oh, man!
Copy !req
141. Remarkable!
Copy !req
142. A stench so foul,
it's right off the funk-o-meter.
Copy !req
143. I daresay, Fry may have discovered
Copy !req
144. the smelliest object
in the known universe.
Copy !req
145. Ooh, ooh, name it after me!
Copy !req
146. I think it's moving.
Copy !req
147. Hmm. Perhaps the computer
can calculate its trajectory.
Copy !req
148. My God!
Copy !req
149. Whatever it is,
it's headed straight for us
Copy !req
150. with enough force to reduce
this entire city to a stinky crater!
Copy !req
151. We have less than 72 hours.
Copy !req
152. Well, let's get lootin'.
Copy !req
153. So this thing's gonna
destroy the whole city?
Copy !req
154. What the heck is it?
Copy !req
155. Ah, just as I thought.
Copy !req
156. The answer lies in this movie
I found on the Internet.
Copy !req
157. New York City, the year 2000.
Copy !req
158. The most wasteful society
in the history of the galaxy,
Copy !req
159. and it was running out of places
Copy !req
160. to bury its never-ending
output of garbage.
Copy !req
161. The landfills were full.
Copy !req
162. New Jersey was full.
Copy !req
163. And so, under cover of darkness,
Copy !req
164. the city put its garbage out to sea
on the world's largest barge.
Copy !req
165. The repulsive barge
circledthe oceans for 50 years
Copy !req
166. but no country would accept it,
Copy !req
167. not even that really filthy one.
Copy !req
168. You know the one I mean.
Copy !req
169. Finally, in 2052, the cityused
its mob connections to obtain a rocket
Copy !req
170. and launch the garbage Into outer space.
Copy !req
171. Some experts claim the ball
might return to Earth someday,
Copy !req
172. but their concerns were dismissed
as "depressing."
Copy !req
173. Wow, you got that off the Internet?
Copy !req
174. In my day, the Internet was only used
to download pornography.
Copy !req
175. Actually, that's still true.
Copy !req
176. Now that the garbage is in space, doctor,
Copy !req
177. perhaps you can help me
with my sexual inhibitions.
Copy !req
178. With gusto.
Copy !req
179. Aw.
Copy !req
180. So that's the situation.
Copy !req
181. Due to the shortsightedness
of Old New York,
Copy !req
182. New New York is going to be destroyed
by a giant ball of garbage.
Copy !req
183. Fry, what the hell
were you people thinking back then?
Copy !req
184. How could you just
throw your garbage away?
Copy !req
185. Hey, hey, give me a break.
Copy !req
186. What do you do with it?
Copy !req
187. We recycle everything.
Copy !req
188. Robots are made from old beer cans.
Copy !req
189. Yeah, and this beer can
is made out of old robots.
Copy !req
190. And that sandwich you're eating
is made from old discarded sandwiches.
Copy !req
191. Nothing just gets thrown away.
Copy !req
192. The future is disgusting.
Copy !req
193. Typical 20th-century attitude.
Copy !req
194. Hey, you have no right
to criticize the 20th century.
Copy !req
195. We gave the world the light bulb,
the steamboat, and the cotton gin.
Copy !req
196. Those things are all
from the 19th century.
Copy !req
197. Yeah, well, they probably just copied us.
Copy !req
198. Please, there's no time for this now.
Copy !req
199. This is an emergency.
Copy !req
200. We must warn the mayor.
Copy !req
201. Garbage ball, huh? That sounds serious.
Copy !req
202. Very serious, Mayor Poopenmeyer.
Copy !req
203. I gotta sure this isn't
another scientific fraud
Copy !req
204. like global warming or secondhand smoke.
Copy !req
205. Send in my science advisor.
Copy !req
206. Wernstrom!
Copy !req
207. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
208. Come to present
your latest napkin, Professor?
Copy !req
209. No, I'm here because a giant trash ball
is heading straight for us.
Copy !req
210. Smell for yourself.
Copy !req
211. Holy... Gee!
Copy !req
212. That smell could be anything.
Copy !req
213. A faulty stench coil,
some cheese on the lens, who knows?
Copy !req
214. Mr. Mayor, we just got
this transmission from Neptune.
Copy !req
215. Giant garbage ballpassed close by.
Copy !req
216. Horrible stench!
Copy !req
217. The transmission cuts out there, sir.
Copy !req
218. No, I guess it keeps going.
Copy !req
219. There we go.
Copy !req
220. My God! The senile old man is right!
Copy !req
221. Do you mean him or me?
Copy !req
222. - Him.
- Oh.
Copy !req
223. Next, New New York in crisis.
Copy !req
224. - Morbo?
Thanks, human female.
Copy !req
225. Puny Earthlings were shocked today
Copy !req
226. to learn that a ball of garbage
will destroy
Copy !req
227. their pathetic city of New New York.
Copy !req
228. Makes me glad we live here in Los Angeles.
Copy !req
229. Morbo agrees.
Copy !req
230. Can't we just shoot a missile at it?
Copy !req
231. We've simulated that on a supercomputer,
Copy !req
232. but the ball is just too damn gooey.
Copy !req
233. A missile would go right through it.
Copy !req
234. But suppose we sent a crew
to plant an explosive
Copy !req
235. precisely on the fault line
Copy !req
236. between this mass of coffee grounds
Copy !req
237. and this deposit
of America Online floppy disks.
Copy !req
238. In theory, it could work.
Copy !req
239. Uh, in theory, perhaps,
Copy !req
240. but you'll never find a crew willing to
take on a mission so suicidally dangerous.
Copy !req
241. Ah, crap.
Copy !req
242. Now, you'll only have
one chance to destroy the ball.
Copy !req
243. After that, it will be so close to Earth
that blowing it up
Copy !req
244. would cause garbage to rain
over the entire planet,
Copy !req
245. killing billions.
Copy !req
246. Aw, boo-hoo.
Copy !req
247. Now here's the bomb I've prepared.
Copy !req
248. Once you activate it,
you'll have 25 minutes to get away.
Copy !req
249. That's all? But...
Copy !req
250. Now, now.
Copy !req
251. There'll be plenty of time
to discuss your objections
Copy !req
252. when and if you return.
Copy !req
253. Odor at magnitude 8.
Copy !req
254. Magnitude 12.
Copy !req
255. Magnitude 31.
Copy !req
256. We're breaking up.
Turn on the anti-smell device.
Copy !req
257. Hmm, sporty.
Copy !req
258. Wow!
Copy !req
259. Look at all this filth.
Copy !req
260. It's not filth.
Copy !req
261. It's a glorious monument
to the achievements of the 20th century.
Copy !req
262. Look, a real Beanie Baby.
Copy !req
263. Oh, a Mr. Spock collectors' plate.
Copy !req
264. Some Bart Simpson dolls.
Copy !req
265. Eat my shorts.
Copy !req
266. Okay.
Copy !req
267. Mmm, shorts.
Copy !req
268. Fry, this stuff
was garbage when it was new.
Copy !req
269. Let's blow it up already.
Copy !req
270. This junk isn't garbage.
Copy !req
271. I can dig in any random pile
and find something great.
Copy !req
272. All right, let's get to work.
Copy !req
273. Let's see.
Copy !req
274. If that's hypodermic ridge,
then the bomb must go right here.
Copy !req
275. Get ready to run.
Copy !req
276. We've got 25 minutes.
Copy !req
277. Uh, 15 minutes.
Copy !req
278. Five minutes.
Copy !req
279. Six-h minutes?
Copy !req
280. Hmm.
Copy !req
281. There's your problem.
Copy !req
282. The professor put
the counter on upside down.
Copy !req
283. That idiot.
Copy !req
284. It wasn't set for 25 minutes.
Copy !req
285. It was set for 52 seconds.
Copy !req
286. Ahhh! We're gonna die!
Copy !req
287. - Right?
- Right.
Copy !req
288. Ahhh!
Copy !req
289. It's gonna blow!
Copy !req
290. Hey, watch it!
You'll put somebody's eye out!
Copy !req
291. Okay, okay, keep your space pants on.
Copy !req
292. I'll take care of this.
Copy !req
293. We're saved.
Copy !req
294. Yeah, but this garbage ball's
unstoppable now.
Copy !req
295. New New York is done for.
Copy !req
296. All in all, this is one day
Mittens the kitten won't soon forget.
Copy !req
297. Kittens give Morbo gas.
Copy !req
298. In lighter news,
the city of New New York is doomed.
Copy !req
299. Blame rests with known human
Professor Hubert Farnsworth
Copy !req
300. and his tiny inferior brain.
Copy !req
301. Aw! How could I have put
that bomb timer on upside down?
Copy !req
302. I could swear I followed
the manual precisely.
Copy !req
303. I'm a dried-up husk of a scientist.
Copy !req
304. This is all my fault.
Copy !req
305. No, it's my fault, too.
Copy !req
306. I'm sure I threw out
more than my share of that trash up there.
Copy !req
307. Also, one month, my toilet broke
Copy !req
308. and I just went straight
in the garbage can.
Copy !req
309. Leela was right.
Copy !req
310. The people of the 20th century
were idiotic slobs.
Copy !req
311. Especially me.
Copy !req
312. Enough. You all failed miserably.
Copy !req
313. It's time to put
a real scientist in charge.
Copy !req
314. - Wernstrom!
- The very same.
Copy !req
315. Dr. Wernstrom, can you save my city?
Copy !req
316. Of course, but it'll cost you.
Copy !req
317. - First, I'll need tenure.
- Done.
Copy !req
318. - And a big research grant.
- You got it.
Copy !req
319. Also access to a lab
and five graduate students,
Copy !req
320. at least three of them Chinese.
Copy !req
321. All right. All right, done.
Copy !req
322. - What's your plan?
- What plan?
Copy !req
323. I'm set for life.
Copy !req
324. Au revoir, suckers.
Copy !req
325. That rat. Do something.
Copy !req
326. I wish I could, but he's got tenure.
Copy !req
327. Hmm?
Copy !req
328. It's time to take action.
Copy !req
329. Stephanie, cancel the maid for today.
Have her come tomorrow.
Copy !req
330. Well, I'm out of ideas.
Copy !req
331. Anyone?
Copy !req
332. Wait.
Copy !req
333. If we could build an object
Copy !req
334. the exact size, density,
and consistency of the garbage ball,
Copy !req
335. it might just knock the ball away
without smashing it to bits.
Copy !req
336. But where can we find a substance
Copy !req
337. the exact density
and consistency as garbage?
Copy !req
338. Alas, I don't know.
Copy !req
339. Uh, what about garbage?
Copy !req
340. Good Lord!
Copy !req
341. A second ball of garbage.
That just might work.
Copy !req
342. But garbage isn't something you just find
lying in the streets of Manhattan.
Copy !req
343. This city's been garbage-free
for 500 years.
Copy !req
344. Well, then it's time to make some more.
Copy !req
345. Make garbage? But how?
Copy !req
346. Stand back and watch the master.
Copy !req
347. This Slurm can?
Copy !req
348. Now it's garbage.
Copy !req
349. These papers?
Copy !req
350. Garbage.
This picture of your wife?
Copy !req
351. Pure garbage. Now you try it.
Copy !req
352. By God, I think the boy's got something.
Copy !req
353. Come on, everyone.
The fate of the city's at stake.
Copy !req
354. Good.
Copy !req
355. Don't finish that cruller. Throw it away.
Copy !req
356. Bender, drink that beer
and drop the bottle on the ground.
Copy !req
357. Very nice.
Copy !req
358. Get that robot some more beer.
Copy !req
359. Hmm?
Copy !req
360. We've trashed this room
but that's just a start.
Copy !req
361. We've got to get Fry's message
to the people.
Copy !req
362. People of New New York,
take a lesson from the 20th century,
Copy !req
363. stop all this pain-in-the-ass recycling
and throw your garbage on the floor.
Copy !req
364. Go ahead, just chuck it
any old place like I used to.
Copy !req
365. Your city is counting on you.
Copy !req
366. If my calculations are correct,
Copy !req
367. this garbage ball will knock
the other garbage ball
Copy !req
368. directly into the sun.
Copy !req
369. And if my calculations are correct,
Copy !req
370. we're all going to die horribly.
Copy !req
371. Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha!
Copy !req
372. Ha...
Copy !req
373. All right, places, everyone.
Copy !req
374. Prepare for launch.
Copy !req
375. Five, four, three, two...
Copy !req
376. Three, four, five, six...
Copy !req
377. Just fire the damn thing.
Copy !req
378. Oops.
Copy !req
379. Burning garbage.
Copy !req
380. It worked!
Copy !req
381. And so, on behalf of the entire city,
Copy !req
382. I thank you, Professor Farnsworth.
Copy !req
383. I now present you with the Academy prize
which we confiscated from Dr. Wernstrom
Copy !req
384. after it became apparent
that he was a jackass.
Copy !req
385. Yes! In your face, Wernstrom!
Copy !req
386. I'll get you, Farnsworth,
even if it takes another hundred years.
Copy !req
387. And, Fry, we owe you
a tremendous debt as well.
Copy !req
