==============================================================================
+ "Paradise Lost"
- Episode Title
+ "CONVOY"
- opening song in the episode a 1977 crossover country hit by C.W. McCall,
about a group of truckers forming a convoy and going across the USA
defying the speed limit and the cops. Great song that was made into a
really bad movie starring Kris Kristofferson, it also started a
short-lived craze with the public for CB radios. {DLD}
+ FANTASTIC VOYAGE (Movie)
- a movie about a group of scientists and doctors minitiuarizing
themselves, placed in a minituarized sub and injected into a man's
body so they can perform life-saving surgery, based on a story by
Isaac Asimov. Starring Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch. (There was also
an FV animated series done by Filmation in the early 1970s). {DLD}
+ "SHOCK TROOPS"
- an episode of the classic radio series X MINUS ONE which was about an
army of parasites (or germs, they didn't elaborate) taking over a man's
body for colonization in much the manner the worms took over Fry.
(I'm not going to spoil the ending of this, as it takes a rather
interesting twist as to the man's fate - you can find this one
floating around some of the stations at the Live365.com site) {DLD}
+ THE SIMPSONS (TV Series)
- Fry's ripping off his shirt to reveal a ridiculously buff body similar
to a long-standing running gag about Groundskeeper Willie. {DLD}
+ STAR TREK: TNG (TV Series)
- the final scene with Fry playing the holophonor is reminiscent of the
final scene with Picard and a flute in the episode "The Inner Light",
and is just as touching. {DLD}
- also, the running gag about Bender yelling "abandon ship!" similar
to what Picard yells out several times in the episode "Time And Again"
(in which the Enterprise is caught in a time loop and explodes several
times)
+ FOX Network specials
- "COURAGEOUS TALES OF BRAVE ANIMALS" - title of book Leela was reading
similar to the type of filler "specials" played on the FOX Network
(and I wouldn't be surprised if FOX did air an episode with that
title! )
+ ED WYNN (Comedian)
- the silly voice given the Worm King similar to this famous comedian,
who was a star of radio and later television.
+ Xanadu (Movie)
- Some of the earlier holophonor sequences reminded me of Don Bluth's
fantasy scene in the movie. {DH}
+ Route 66
- Route Square Root of 66 {JK}

Fry's ripping off his shirt to reveal a ridiculously buff body similar to a
long-standing running gag about Groundskeeper Willie.
Then in the next scene, Fry's shirt is sewn back together and back on.
And it was pretty odd that Nibbler wasn't around in her apt.
There are no pain detectors in the brain. Fry wouldn't have been
yelling ouch every time he sliced part of his brain.
Mike Zaite
I liked the Voyager probe but it was far under scale.
Andrew Levine
After the Professor places the Zoidberg micro-droid on his finger, the
Farnsworth micro-droid walks into frame on his own finger. The wall, ceiling,
and doorway can be seen in the background. Then, when the Professor
micro-droid puts his finger down at his side, the background doesn't change.
Since the motions of the micro-droid's hands mimic the Professor's, this
means that the Professor put his finger down at HIS side, and as the droids
were all standing on the Professor's finger, the area seen behind the
micro-droids should have been completely different.
If the micro-droids were big enough for the Professor to pick up with
tweezers, then they would be too big to be the size which they were inside
Fry's body, relative to his red blood cells and capillaries.

Leela: Hmm, I better check the fluid levels. [Pulls out a long rod, looks
at it] We're okay on coke syrup.
% Bender is at the ethanol pump which gives two choices - "ETHANOL" and
% "ETHANOL & TONIC". Bender takes straight ethanol, puts the nozzle in his
% mouth and starts fueling. At the same time he tries to light his cigar.
% The lighter won't work.
Bender: Oh, man, come on!
% Leela is trying to put the rod back. Explosion is heard and a flash is seen.
% Bender's head flies by.
Bender: Coming through!
% Cut to Fry walking into the bathroom. He looks at the "Tastee Snacks 'N'
% Prophylactics" vending machine above the toilet. It gives a choice of
% ALDEBARAN TICKLES 50c, BREAKABLE COMB 75c and "FRESH" EGG SALAD SANDWICH 25c.
Fry: Okay... Hmm? Hmm!
% He takes the sandwich. He walks back to the ship where he unwraps
% the sandwich and is about to eat it.
Bender: What's that black cracker?
Fry: [Bites into it] A tomato.
Leela: You're not going to eat a sandwich from a truck stop men's room, are
you?
Fry: Ah, what's the worse thing that could happen? [Bites the sandwich]
Ugh! It's a like a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.
% Leela takes a giant window brush gets on a hover stand and flies up to the
% windshield. She wipes a giant insect, a tiny smashed up ringed planet,
% and the Voyager spacecraft off the windshield.
Trucker: [Points at Leela] Looky there, it's one of those things like on our
mud flaps.
Trucker 1: Yosemite Sam?
Sal: Stands back. I'm going to puts my moves on her. Whoa-oa-oa-oas!
Fry: That jerk! No one hoots at my Captain unless they're prepared to
take it to the next level.
Leela: Fry, please. That's sweet, but I'd rather not even dignify them with
an ass-whupping.
Sal: Yo, sexy mama, let's get busy and freaky, in that order.
Fry: Hey, jumbo how would you like it if Leela said you were sexy and she
wanted to make love with you?
Sal: Ah, I gots five minutes. She looks pretty good for a truck stop
chick. [Truckers laugh]
Fry: You take that back! She does not look good for a truck stop chick.
[Leela frowns, truckers laugh]
Sal: Yeah, you're right. She don't gots enough meat for a guy like me.
Fry: She does, too! She's loaded with meat. She's got more meat than a
cow. [Leela grabs him by the hair and pulls him up] Ow!
Truckers: [Laugh] "More meat than a cow"!
% At the Planet Express. Fry and Bender on the couch.
Fry: I just can't please Leela no matter what I do. I just want her to
like me.
Bender: Well, there's always hope. [Slams Fry on the back and laughs] Come
on. We got to go fix the plasma fusion boiler.
% In the boiler room.
Bender: [To a guy lying on a bed, reading a "ZERO-G JUGGS" magazine] Who are
you?
Scruffy: Scruffy the janitor.
Bender: Why aren't you fixing the boiler?
Scruffy: Schedule conflict.
% Bender works on the boiler.
Bender: There, fixed forever.
% The boiler starts shaking menacingly, letting out clouds of steam. Fry and
% Bender gasp.
Scruffy: Scruffy's going to die the way he lived. [Flips page]
% The boiler explodes, Fry and Bender scream.
Scruffy: Oh, marmalade!
% At Dr. Zoidberg's office. Fry is sitting on the table with a lead pipe
% through his gut. Bender taps curiously on the pipe.
Zoidberg: Ah, the hypochondriac's back. So, what is it this time?
Fry: Well, my lead pipe hurts a little.
Zoidberg: That's normal. Next patient.
% The pipe suddenly starts shaking with a sawing noise. Both protruding
% side of it fall off, leaving a gaping hole in Fry's gut. Bender looks inside
% it. The hole quickly closes up. Everyone gasps.
Bender: He's a witch!
Prof.: Fry, did you eat anything unusual recently?
Fry: No.
Leela: What about that bathroom egg salad from the truck stop?
Fry: I've had better.
Prof.: Egg salad? Hmm. Zoidberg will have to examine your gastrointestinal
tract. Come, everyone. Give Fry some privacy.
% They walk out of the room.
Prof.: If you can't see well enough through the two-way mirror there'll be
close-up on this video screen.
% Zoidberg is examining Fry.
Zoidberg: Hmm, we'll need to have a look inside you with this camera. [Fry
opens his mouth] Guess again.
% Everyone in the behind-the-mirror room watching what the camera shows,
% eating pop-corn. The camera shows inside of Fry's bowel.
Amy: Gross!
Bender: Go, man, go!
% Camera makes several turns. Everybody leans into the turns.
Prof.: Watch for any subtle irregularity in Fry's bowel.
% Suddenly the camera arrives at a futuristic city. Everyone gasps.
Amy: It's gorgeous. That place used to be a big dump.
% They see the inhabitants of the city. They are worms. Everyone gasps.
Amy: Worms? Eww! Pukatronic.
Leela: So, the eggs in that egg salad sandwich were...
Prof.: Correct. Worm eggs. And the mayonnaise was probably none too fresh,
either.
Hermes: It's nauseating, mon. [Eats some popcorn] Is there no way to get rid
of the disgusting maggots?
Prof.: Only one. We'll have to travel deep inside Fry in this.
% Pulls the cloth off the table. There's nothing on it but a small dot.
% Everyone steps closer. Professor puts a magnifying glass before the dot.
% It's a tiny Planet Express ship.
Bender: Shotgun!
Zoidberg: Shotgun! Oh...
% [End of Act One. Act Time: Running Time:]
% Bender, Amy and Hermes look over their gear for the mission.
Prof.: In each gastro survival kit you'll find a rain slicker, a disposable
fun camera and something to protect you against bacteria - a
harpoon.
% Camera moves away to show that they are actually already tiny robot and
% stand on the professor's finger. The actual people are in the room wearing
% virtual reality gear.
Bender: Yo, old guy why do we have to use those tiny microdroids? Can't you
just shrink us?
Prof.: Oh, my, no. That would require extremely tiny atoms and have you
priced those lately? I'm not made of money. Leave me alone!
Zoidberg: Me next!
% He steps on a plaform and gets scanned. When the scan is complete an
% egg-shaped container with a tiny robot Zoidberg rolls out of the machine.
% The professor picks it up wit the forceps and puts it with the others.
% The professor's droid also joins them.
Prof.: Anyhoo, your 'Net suits will let you experience Fry's worm-infested
bowels as if you were actually wriggling through them.
Zoidberg: There's no part of that sentence I didn't like.
% At the meeting table, which is empty.
Prof.: Is everyone present?
% Everyone confirms. The camera zooms in to show a tiny table next to a pencil
% on the table, where everyone actually is.
Prof.: Here's the plan: We'll enter the ear drip down the back of the
throat and make for the bowel. There, we'll irritate the pelvic
splanchnic ganglion and cause an intestinal spasm expelling, among
other things the parasites.
Bender: I'll tell Fry to wash out, among other things, his ear.
Prof.: No! Fry can't know anything about the mission. If he finds out, the
worms will try to defend themselves. They know everything he knows.
Bender: They know how to make ice cream soup?
Prof.: [To Leela, who's looming over all them, as she's not a microdroid]
Leela, your role is to distract Fry so he doesn't notice what we're
up to.
Leela: [In a deep powerful voice] Can do!
Amy: Leela, you should really try a facial scrub for your pores.
% Leela blows on her, sending her flying.
%
% In the other room, Fry drinks a can after can of slurm. Leela comes in.
Leela: Look, a starling.
Fry: Really?
% He turns to look. Leela spits the tiny Planet Express ship out of a tube
% into his ear.
%
% Inside the ear.
Prof.: Shh. Be very quiet. We're in the ear.
Amy: Okay, Professor.
Prof.: [Loudly] What!
Fry: What about what?
Leela: Uh, what if we go for a walk possibly because it's such a lovely
day, perhaps?
Fry: I'd love to. [Scratches inside his ear]
% The finger moves after the ship. Everybody screams.
Hermes: We've got to get someplace where he won't stick his finger.
Bender: It's hopeless! Abandon ship!
Prof.: Wait, we just have to get past the eardrum.
% The ship passes through the eardrum, leaving a small hole. Immediately a
% worm arrives to patch it up. The ships moves on. They are in the brain now.
Hermes: What are those worms doing to Fry's brain?
Prof.: They're giving it a complete tune-up. A cursory glance would suggest
they've doubled his thinking power.
Hermes: My God, soon he'll be smarter than Cher.
% On the street, Fry is picking flowers.
Fry: Ah, the scent of a rose. Curious how an aromatic chain of
hydrocarbons can evoke our deepest emotions. [Gives the bouquet to
Leela] For you.
Leela: That's such a beautiful thought, Fry. And what's more amazing you
expressed it without spewing crumbs at me.
% Inside Fry.
Prof.: Brace yourselves, everyone. We're entering the interior of Fry's
nose.
Bender: We're at Finger Alert Five.
Prof.: Let's just pray nothing stimulates the delicate smell receptors.
Nobody make a smell.
% Outside, Fry is smelling the flowers. Inside, a bunch of spiky balls start
% hitting the ship. Everyone yells.
Zoidberg: Quick, we can escape through that nasal capillary into the sinus.
% The ship makes sharp turn to go into a capillary.
Hermes: Strange, you usually don't know anything about human anatomy.
Zoidberg: I learned it from a decongestant commercial. "Soothing action,
action, action, action."
% The ship moves through the capillary, and then gets to the blood vessel.
% The ride gets bumpy. They arrive in the heart.
Bender: Where are we, the ass?
Prof.: We're in the heart better known as "the love muscle."
Zoidberg: Where the food is digested.
Prof.: We should be safe just so long as nothing makes it beat faster.
% Outside, Fry and Leela stand beside a puddle. Fry looks at Leela, steps into
% the puddle and extends his hand to her. Leela smiles and puts her hand into
% his. Inside, Fry's heart start beating faster.
Bender: Abandon ship!
Prof.: No! Set course for that cholesterol-encrusted valve.
% As the ship passes the valve, Zoidberg gets out of the hatch to collect
% some cholesterol.
Zoidberg: [Spreads it on a cracker] It's good cholesterol but is spreads like
bad cholesterol. [Eats it]
% Shot of worms cleaning off the cholesterol deposits.
%
% The ship now passes the muscles. Worms are massaging them.
Amy: Look, they're jazzercising Fry's muscles.
Hermes: He'll be as strong and flexible as Gumby and Hercules combined.
Zoidberg: Gumbercules? I love that guy.
% Outside, Fry and Leela walk past a construction site. Leela stops.
Leela: Ugh! It's that jerk from the truck stop. Let's cross the street and
blend in with that crowd of pimps.
Fry: I don't think so. [Walks up to Sal] Sir, I believe you owe this lady
an apology.
Leela: Fry, no. He's bulging with what could be muscles.
% Fry rips his shirt revealing a very well toned physique.
Leela: Ooh...
Sal: I got your apologies right heres. [Grabs a knife]
% Stabs Fry. Fry catches his wrist and throws him over the head, dropping
% him to Leela's feet.
Sal: Whoa! [Groans] Sorrys, ma'am. I've learns the lesson about not
ogling cans that I won't soons forget.
% Inside.
Prof.: Ah, the stomach... scenic gateway to the bowel.
% The ship passes a cent. Worms notice the ship, the alarm goes off and
% several tanks start the pursuit. They shoot the projectiles, that bounce
% right off.
Bender: Abandon ship! [Tries to reach for the door. Zoidberg and Hermes
try hard not to let him]
Prof.: No, don't give up now. We're but a stone's throw from the pyloric
sphincter.
% They go for an opening in the distance. It's slowly closing up. The ship
% gets caught by it midway and gets stuck. But the shots of the tanks push it
% through. The opening closes completely and the tanks bump into it, exploding
% in flames.
Everyone: [Cheer] We made it!
% The ship flies through the bowel and finally reaches the worm city.
Prof.: There it is: the stately capital of Fry's bowel a heavily guarded
fortress surrounding the pelvic splanchnic ganglion.
Zoidberg: I've heard of that. Who said I haven't?
Prof.: If we can stimulate that nerve the bowel will convulse expelling the
entire worm society.
Hermes: But what about the worms in other parts of his body?
Prof.: Listen, this is going to be one hell of a bowel movement.
Afterwards, he'll be lucky if he has any bones left.
Bender: All right, let's mush some worms. [Reloads and makes the first shot]
Wormking: Worms, to battle stations!
% Worms start shooting back.
%
% Outside. Fry and Leela are drinking tea in a cafe nearby Planet Express.
% Fry crumbles some bread for the owls sitting nearby.
Leela: I had a great time today. The flowers, the puddle the way you hurt
that guy... but can I ax you something?
Fry: Anything.
Leela: Why did you do all that stuff?
Fry: Oh, Leela, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time
but every time I try, I get nervous and my mouth feels like it's
stuffed with peanut butter even when it's not.
Leela: What is it? Is it about Bender?
Fry: out you and me.
Leela: And Bender?
Fry: Bender's not involved. [Puts his hands on hers] Leela... I love you.
Leela: You do?
Fry: Yes, but it's only recently that I've been able to articulate my
thoughts. I love you, Leela, and I always have.
Leela: Fry, that's the sweetest, most wonderful... wait! Recently? Like
since you ate that toilet sandwich?
Fry: Yeah. I don't know why but my life really turned around that day.
Leela: Stay here. [Fry sighs]
Waitress: Freshen your noc-a-tina?
Fry: Please, I need something to settle my stomach.
% Inside, the battle is raging on. The crew reaches a metal door.
Prof.: The nerve is through here. Where's Zoidberg?
Zoidberg: [Rides in on a spermatozoid] Yippee-ki-yay. You'll never guess where
I've been.
% Leela is in the scanner. She shoots her droid through the window into
% Fry's tea. Fry drinks it.
%
% Inside.
Bender: One, two, three... [The doors falls open. Bender groans, scratching
his head, which was used to break the door down]
Prof.: There it is. [Points] The pelvic splanchnic ganglion. Tickle it,
then get ready for the ride of your lives.
Leela: [From the doorway] Don't even think about tickling that ganglion.
Prof.: Leela, you're just in time to help. If we don't get rid of the worms
now they'll burrow so deep into the bowel that not even Hermes'
famous jerk prunes could dislodge them.
Hermes: I call it Caribbean Drain-o.
Prof.: Fry will be stuck with the worms forever.
Leela: Perfect.
% Takes an axe from behind her back and chops professor's head off, then
% proceed to chops the rest of the droid to pieces. She further turns around
% and swings the axe at the others. Hermes and Amy duck, but she chops
% Zoidberg's head off.
Zoidberg: Ouch.
% [End of Act Two. Act Time: Running Time:]
% Leela's killing spree continues. She chops off Hermes', Bender's and Amy's
% heads, then proceeds to chop them all up to smaller pieces. They scream in
% pain.
Bender: Oh, the pain and anguish.
% Finally, Leela stops, takes off her VR gear and walks off. Others take
% off their gear as well.
Amy: Oh... I'm okay.
Prof.: Leela, you ignorant dope. Now the worms will be in Fry forever.
Leela: So? Did you ever stop to think that Fry is better off with worms?
Prof.: Oh, that's stupid.
% The door opens up and Fry comes in.
Fry: If anyone wants to tell me what's going on here I'll be in the
lounge.
% At the meeting table.
Fry: Of all the parasites I've had over the years these worms are among
the... Hell, they are the best. Leela, how can I ever repay you for
saving them?
Leela: I'll think of something.
% Fry takes her hand and they look lovingly at each other.
Bender: Hello, what's all this then?
% At Leela's apartment.
Fry: Apartment 1-I. The old me would have made a joke about that.
Leela: I should warn you it's a little under-furnished. [There's only a
chair and a TV in the room] I'm thinking of having a window
installed.
Fry: I think the view's perfect already.
Leela: Oh, that's the corniest thing I've ever heard. Let me show you the
bedroom.
Fry: Wait. In a minute. [Takes out a box with a funny looking instrument]
Leela: A holophonor? Only a few people in the whole universe can play that
and they're not very good at it.
Fry: They don't have you to inspire them.
% Starts playing. A hologram appears showing Fry and Leela dancing on the ring
% of Saturn, accompanied by a soothing "cosmic" music. The camera goes in the
% hologram. Saturn swiftly moves away to the distance. The setting moon above
% the sea moves into the frame. Camera focuses on moon glares on water, that
% change into shaking silhouette of Fry and Leela's heads. They close their
% lips and in the slpash of light the camera is transported underwater,
% further descending to the sea floor. Some strange creatures bearing an
% distinctive resemblance to Fry and Leela swim by, playing. They rise to the
% surface and jump out, like dolphins. The wave covers everything. When the
% wave rolls back, it's the shore. A clam is lying on the shore. It opens
% up, revealing a pearl inside. The camera closes in on the pearl, which has
% a reflection of Fry and Leela, dancing. After a graceful dance pas, Fry
% lifts Leela up by the waist. The screen fades, everything slpashes into
% soft white sparks and ends.
%
% Leela silently takes Fry's hand, gets up and takes him to the bedroom.
% In the bedroom. They are kissing.
Leela: I don't have words to say how wonderful you are, Fry. I haven't felt
this happy since double-soup Tuesday at the orphanarium.
Fry: When I'm with you, every day seems like double-soup Tuesday.
Leela: Oh, Fry, I love what you've become.
Fry: What I've become... [Sighs]
Leela: What is it?
Fry: There's just something I have to find out.
% He gets up and walks out. Leela runs after him, stops in the doorway and
% looks at him go.
%
% At the Planet Express, Fry is on the scanner. When the scan is done, he
% takes his microdroid, looks at him, then drops him down his pants.
%
% At the worm city.
Fry: Who controls this bowel?
Guards: Who wants to know?
% Fry shows to the golden statue name "THE KNOWN UNIVERSE", which is him,
% standing in the exactly same pose. Worms gasp and bow.
% At the worm king's quarters.
Wormking: I am the Lord Mayor of Cologne.
Fry: You mean colon?
Wormking: State your business.
Fry: Your excellency, have you ever been in love?
Wormking: No, I thought I was once, but then I remembered our species
reproduces with a cloud of spores.
Fry: Well, a wonderful girl loves me but I need to know if it's really me
she loves or just what you worms have made of me. That's why, with
all due respect I'm asking you to leave.
Wormking: Listen, you... I was born here. I raised a cloud of children here.
My ancestors came over here on the sandwich. [Takes out a sword] No
one can make me leave. [Charges at Fry]
% Fry dodges and runs to get a sword. They start fencing. Fry backs up to the
% elevator and get in. Inside the elevator he looks at the possible floor
% selctions. They are "LUNGS", "LIVER", "BALL ROOM" and "BRAIN". He picks
% "BRAIN".
% In the brain. Fry and the Wormking get out of the elevator, fighting. Several
% worms join the fight. Fry starts climbing up some nerve. The worms follow.
% Fry climbs to the top.
Fry: Everyone out of my body or the brain gets it! [Worms stop]
Wormking: He's bluffing. No creature would willingly make an idiot out of
itself.
Fry: Obviously, you've never been in love. [Slashes the nerve]
% He then jumps on a catwalk and runs by it, cutting nerves as he does and
% ouching in pain each time. He reaches the end of it.
Fry: And now, the hand-eye coordination lobe.
% He chops off its tip and gets disoriented.
Worms: Stop it, man.
% He falls down. Worms advance on him.
Wormking: You've damaged your brain universe but no more than a week of binge
drinking or five minutes on a cell phone.
Fry: I was just working my way toward the medulla oblongata control
center of the heart and lungs. And if I kill myself, you die with
me.
Worms: No! Stop! Wait a minute, man.
Fry: I hope Satan has a nice colon 'cause that's where you're going to be
living.
% He draws back his sword, ready to strike. A tense pause.
Wormking: Stop! We'll leave, but one day you'll be eating a fast-food burger
and boom! You'll be crawling with us again. Ever wonder what makes
special sauce so special? Yo.
% Worms turn around and leave.

% Back at Leela's apartment. Leel
