% NNY Central Park, people on a picnic. Camera pans to Planet Express
staff.
% Hermes throws a Frisbee
Hermes: Go get it, boy.
% Zoidberg runs after it, catches it in midair and eats it.
% Cut to Leela eating a sandwich and Fry walking up to her.
Fry: So, Leela, how about a romantic ride in one of those swan
boats? They
are kind of dangerous, but I finally mastered them.
Leela: Those aren't swan boats. They're swans.
Fry: Oh, that explains these boat eggs. [Looks at a bunch of eggs in
his
hands]
% Low rumbling starts and a shadow comes over Fry's face. He gasps. A
flying
% saucer flies over him and lands on the lawn nearby. People start
running
% away, screaming. A man, who is running away and screaming, passes
Amy who
% is napping face down on a blanket without a bra.
Man: A-a-a-ah! [Spots Amy] Mmm.Hmm. [Makes a circle around her, then
keeps
running away] A-a-a-ah!
Amy: [Wakes up and sees the flying saucer] A-a-ah!
% The saucer opens up, a ramps extends from the opening, and figures
in
% sport outfits start coming out of it in clouds of white smoke and
% accompanied by an electric piano music. They are bouncing
basketballs.
% Everyone looks at them, surprised. They line up in a V-shaped
formation
% with their leader in the middle.
Leader: Pitiful ballplayers of Earth. I am Ethan "Bubble Gum" Tate,
commander
of the Harlem Globetrotters. [All gasp] For generations your
puny
planet has lived in peace with the Globetrotter home world.
But now,
for no reason we challenge you to defend your honor on the
basketball
court. [All gasp again] Will no one meet our challenge? Have
none of
you pathetic earthlings... game?
Fry: What happens if we lose?
Tate: Nothing! There's nothing at stake and no threat, beyond the
shame of
defeat.
% One of the Globetrotters throws Tate a basketball colored as Earth.
He
% catches it and drops it in a trash can with contempt. All gasp yet
again.
Prof.: This will not stand! [Surprised murmurs are heard] I'll take
you on,
you air-balling bozos.
Tate: You, old man? Heh. Sweet Clyde. Laugh derisively at him.
Clyde: Ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha.
Prof.: I may be an old man - in fact, I'm fairly sure I am - but I'll
put you
Globetrotters in your place with my team of mutant atomic
supermen.
[Everyone cheers]
% To Planet Express
Prof.: Behold! My mutant atomic supermen.
% Slides open the curtain, revealing four infant sitting in a hamster
cage.
Leela: They are only a foot high, Professor.
Prof.: Well, they're still young. Mere atomic superboys, really. We
need to
speed up their grouth with time particles called chronotons.
Bender: Aren't those the particles that destroyed an entire
civiliza...
Prof.: Good news, everyone! You are off to the Tempest Nebula to
gather
chronotons.
% Leela, Bender and Fry in space suits in open space gathering the
particles.
% Leela picks them with forceps. Each particle she removes creates and
% expanding, as if burning through, hole in space. Bender swallows
particles
% and spits them out in a jar.
Fry: Hey, Leela, look at me.
% He opens the valve of the helmet and his head expands to fill the
entire
% helme. He closes the valve, his head deflates to normal size. He
repeats
% it several times until he starts coughing and wheezing.
Leela: Your face can take a lot of punishment. That's good to know.
Fry: There's a lot about my face you don't know. Perhaps you and it
could get better acquainted over a dinner?
Leela: All right! Cool your jet, hotshot.
Fry: Come on, Leela. Why won't you go out with me? We both know
there's
something there.
Leela: No, I mean cool your jets. They are melting Bender's face.
% Camera moves away to show Fry's jets shooting in Bender's face
making
% it glow red. Bender blubbers.
%
% Back to Planet Express
Leela: Here you go. Hot off the nebula.
Prof.: None too soon. While you were gone the Trotters held a news
conference
to announce that I was a jive sucker.
% Professor screws a feeder cap on top of the jar with chronotons and
mounts
% it on the superboys' cage. Superboys lick the liquid and start
growing one
% by one. One of them becomes very tall, another becomes a man with
five arms,
% another grows a cannon on his chest, another one turns into a
greenish
% giant spider, and the last one becomes a man with glowing green
eyes.
Prof.: Behold! My invincible nuclear mutants.
Amy: Hi.
Spider: Hello.
% Cut to MADISON CUBE GARDEN
Announcer: Marv Albert here at Madison Cube Garden where the Harlem
Globetrotters take on a squad of atomic supermen in what
promises
to be by-the-numbers athletic contest with no surprises
whatsoever.
% Whistle blows and the games starts. Globetrotters jump on each each
other's
% shoulders and snatch the ball at its highest point.
Marv: There's the tip-off. Globetrotter ball. Sweet Clyde Dickson to
"Bubble
Gum" Tate. Drives down court and Curly Joe from the rear.
% Curly Joe pinches five-armed superman in the butt. He screams.
Zoidberg: [Laughs] That one grabbed his behindness.
Leela and Hermes: Shh, quiet!
Tate: Who dares laugh at the jesters of dung? We came to terrify
and
humiliate you, not tickle your funny bones. Watch as I
embarrass
your civilization by passing the ball to Curly Joe. [Tosses
the ball
to Curly Joe. Five-armed superman jumps to intercept, but
the ball
snaps back to Tate on a string] Only to have it remain in
my hands
with elastic. [Showcases the ball bouncing on the string.
Laughs.
[Crowd boos] And perhaps this will wipe the smiles from your
faces.
% Throws the ball up, passes it with his butt to another Globetrotter,
who
% catches it and shoots for the basket.
Marv: Goosh goes up. [The tall superman stretches his arms, grabs
the ball
right when it's about to go in] Rejected. Growtrium from
half-court.
[Growtrium stretches his arms and slam-dunks the ball to the
Globetrotters' basket] Yes! [Crowd cheers].
% Later. The score is 45 to 42 to Supermen with 12 seconds remaining.
% A globetrotter passes, dribbling, under Growtrium, the spider guy
% snatches the ball from him.
Marv: Supermen lead 45 to 42. Arachneon with the steal. [Arachneon
passes the pass to the guy with the cannon.] To Thorius.
Thorius
from downtown. [Thorius shoves the ball in the cannon and
shoots,
the ball goes in] Yes! [Crowd cheers] He's really showing us
what
a man with a cannon in his chest can do.
Prof.: No showboating, you atomic hotdog. [Grabs a chair, lifts it
with
strain and throws it, not very far. Buzzer sounds].
Marv: And that's the half with the Supermen up 48 to 42.
Surprisingly dull
so far.
% Arachneon walks up to the table, gulps several glasses of water,
grabs
% several towels and goes to sign cards for fans with several hands at
once.
Marv: Bubble Gum, the Trotters and down by six. Reactions?
Tate: It was always our plan to trail at the half thus deepening
Earth's
eventual humiliation. Also, what game were the refs
watching?
% Whistle blows, tip-off. Curly Joe catches the ball sitting on the
% score-board. Growtrium just can't reach. Curly Joe laughs.
Marv: Curly Joe, easily amused by his own antics [Curly Joe slides
down the Growtrium's arm] continues to wreak havoc
on...[Everything
suddenly jumps around to Tate spinning the ball on his
finger] What
the...? [Everyone looks around, puzzled, muttering]
Prof.: Did everything just jump around? Or did my brain just stroke
off
there for a second?
Marv: Ladies and gentlemen, something very strange has just
happened in
this basketball game between Space Clowns and Atomic
Monsters.
% Tate shrugs and throws the ball. The green-eyed superman shoots
beams out of
% his eyes stopping the ball in midair. The ball catches fire and
starts
% falling straight down. Everything jumps around again. This time the
% five-armed superman goes up for the slam-dunk. He gets disoriented,
rams
% into the basket screen, drops the ball and lands in the basket.
Prof.: Time out! Time out! [Whistle blows]
Fry: What's happening?
Prof.: We seem to be lurching forwards randomly in time like a
needle
skipping on a record player.
Amy: What's causing it? Is it my outfit?
Prof.: No, it must have something to do with those time particles I
used to
grow the supermen. Time and space are ripping apart at the
seams.
% All gasp. Thorius accidently shoots his cannon and the ball hits
Arachneon,
% splattering him into green goo.
Thorius: Oops!
Prof.: Oh, great. Now on top of everything, we need a new fifth man.
Fry: Ooh, ooh, ooh, put me in, Professor. I want to show Leela my
skills.
Prof.: Hmm. Will said skills pay the bills?
Fry; Who cares? We're 35 points ahead with two minutes left. What
could
possibly...
% Everything jumps around again. Fry is standing face to face with
Tate
% holding the ball. Tate grabs the ball from him, throws it backwards
over
% his head over half of the court and the ball goes in the basket.
Crowd
% boos. Buzzer sounds. The score is 244 to 86 to Globetrotters.
Marv: Globetrotters win 244 to 86. A dark day for humanity, folks.
We have
been beaten... in basketball.
Globetrotters: Yeah, that's how we do it. He-he-he!
Tate: You are all fools of the highest caliber.
Leela: I don't know what you did, Fry, but once again you screwed
up. Now
all the planets are going to start cracking wise about our
mamas.
Hermes: I'm just glad my fat, ugly mama isn't alive to see this day.
Prof.: Enough about your promiscuous mother, Hermes. We have bigger
problems.
This time disruption is extremely serious.
Tate: Damn right, brother man. This chronological wang-dang-doodle
could
destroy the very matrix of reality.
Prof.: Tate, what do you know about this?
Tate: Not much yet. But I am a senior lecturer in physics at
Globetrotter
U and I'd like to help you investigate.
Prof.: You are THAT "Bubble Gum" Tate?
Tate: Well, I sure ain't his grandma Now look here, Prof. [Starts
drawing
on the board what looks to be a lame attempt to represent a
chain
reaction burning hydrogen in oxygen] I think we got ourselves
an
excess of chronotons in the subatomic interstices.
Prof.: Ye-e-es, I see. Something involving that many big words could
easily
destabilize the time itself.
Fry: Is that a problem?
Prof.: Indeed so. At this rate by Tuesday it will be Thursday, by
Wednesday
it will be August and by Thursday it will be the end of
existence as
we know it.
Man: I'll have to ask you to clear out now. The circus needs to
set up for
tomorrow's big...
% Time skips. Everything changes to a circus setup, an elephant
trumpets and
% walks right at everyone. Everyone screams and scatters.
% [End of Act One. Act Time: 9:00 Running Time: 9:00
% At the Planet Express. Everyone watches TV.
Newswoman: Time continues to skip forward randomly. Details at 11:00.
[Time skips] This is the news at 11:00. The mysterious and
unexplained... [Times skips] Turning to entertainment news,
teen
singer Wendy might just be the latest... [Time skips]
...won three
Grammys last night... [Time skips] ...found dead in her
bathtub.
Prof.: [Turns off the TV] Interesting. It's as if we all behave
normally
during the time skips but then we have no memory of it.
Fry: You mean we just...? [Time skips]
Prof.: My, yes. Oooh, just like that. Any luck, Bubble Gum?
Tate: Not yet. Listen, hope you don't mind if I dribble a little
while I
work.
Prof.: Not if you grant me the same liberty. [Slurps his hand]
Bender: oh! Oh! Bubble Gum, my name's Bender and I'm a huge fan of
your
work both on and off the court. Can I be a Globetrotter?
Tate: Shut up, turkey.
Bender: Ooh...
Prof.: Bubble Gum, look at this. The background time radiation is
fluctuating wildly!
Tate: Good Lord! That sucker's shaking around like some fine
imported
booty.
Hermes: Si. I'm no physicist, but I think I know how to stop the
skipping.
We'll just...
% Time skips. Everyone slowly walks out the door in a naked congo line
to
% Reggae music played by Hermes.
Hermes: I don't know how this was supposed to work.
Amy: Professor, I hope you find out what's wrong before we skip
right
past my birthd...
% Time skips. It's Amy's birthday party.
Everyone: ...birthday, Amy!
Amy: Hooray! Look at all these presents.
Zoidberg: I hope we all have as much fun tomorrow at my birth...[Time
skips.
Empty room , just Zoidberg on the couch] What?! Aw...
% Cut to Leela going down the corridor. Fry pokes he head out the
door.
Fry: Psst, Leela! I've set up a time-proof shelter in the
closet.
There's only room for two and you are the one I want to
share it
with.
Leela: Fry, that's so sweet. Let me see.
% Leela walks in. The room is a love nest, with candles, bed, dim
light and
% silhouette picture of two people kissing.
Leela: How exactly will this protect us from time jumps?
Fry: 'Cause when we're together in here, baby, time will stand
still.
[Time skips. Leela disappears and a purple bruise appears
over
Fry's eye]. Ow!
% Cut to Zoidberg before a chessboard deciding on a move.
Zoidberg: Hmm... Hmm! [Finally picks up a piece and eats it]
Leela: Dr. Zoidberg, can I talk to you about Fry?
Zoidberg: Leela, I would be honored.
% Time skips. Zoidberg is now leaned back on the couch with feet on
the table,
% watching TV.
Leela: ...does the worst W.C. Fields imitation I've ever seen.
Zoidberg!
Zoidberg: Sorry, you must've been boring me. [Turns the TV off]
Leela: The thing is, Fry is very sweet, but he so immature. I love
his
boyish charm, but I hate his childishness.
Zoidberg: So, he's not perfect. You don't want to end up old and
lonely like
ZOIDBERG! [Starts sobbing. Then stops] You were saying?
% Cut to Professor's lab. Professor is using Smell-o-Scope.
Prof.: Ah, there it is, the Tempest Nebula! Take a whiff through
the
smelloscope.
Tate: [Sniffs the "rhinoculars"] Ooh! What's that funky jazz?
Prof.: The odor of pure time leaking. When my crew removed the
chronotons
it destabilized the nebula causing the time skips
throughout the
universe.
Bender: Oh, let Bubble Gum tell it.
Tate: Pretend these basketballs are time particles, my silver
honky. As
the nebula passes them off us...[Throws several balls at
Bender,
denting his face] ...the cause these dents or "time skips".
Bender: You are so smart.
Tate: Hold up. What if we were to move this cluster of stars to
these
algebraic coordinates?
Prof.: Then gravity might just divert the chronotons to the empty
side of
the universe.
Tate: Yeah! But it's impossible. Moving stars would require one
bad-ass
gravity pump and we'd need all the money on earth to...
% Time skips. Tate and Professor are in the oval office with a folder
that has
% a BAD ASS GRAVITY PUMP PROPOSAL sticker on it.
Tate: Wh..?
Prof.: What the...?
% They pick up a big check from the table
Nixon: There's the funding for your gravity pump, but it damn well
better
work! We can't spend all of earth's money every day. Now,
how long
will it take to build?
Tate: It won't be easy, Nixon. A jim-jam this complex might take
months
or even y...
% Time skips. Tate and Professor stand beside the complete gravity
pump.
Prof.: Ah! There we are. One gravity pump - powerful enough to move
the
stars themselves. Now to begin the arduous task of attaching
it to
the ship so that...
% Time skips. The pump is attached to the ship that is taking off.
Prof.: Off you go, apparently.
% The ship is in space, moving a star.
Tate: Easy, Leela. Just finger-roll that star into the cosmic
basket.
Leela: Just a few... more... hundred... thousand... miles! [The
star is
moved to completes the circle of stars around visible rips
in space]
There!
Tate: Nothing but nebula.
Leela: We'll have to run some tests back on earth, but I think
we've
stopped the time skips.
Bender: All right!
Tate: Jamming!
Fry: Hooray for Leela!
Bender: And what better way to celebrate our success than by me
showing
Bubble Gum the Globetrotter uniform I made myself.
Tate: Let me see.
% Bender takes out crudely made uniform.
Tate: [Rubs his hands]Hello, lawsuit.
Fry: Leela, I want you to know I think the way you moved those
stars
around was really wonderful. I got you something [Gets the
bottle of
champagne and opens it]
Leela: [Gasps] Moderately priced, domestic non-vintage champagne?
How did
you know?
Fry: You deserve it. I mean, nobody ever stops to tell you what a
great
captain you are.
Leela: Ah, that is so true and sweet.
Fry: You're smart, you're beautiful, and best of all you'll go
out with
me-e-e?
Leela: Fry, please try to understand. You're a man, I'm a woman.
We're just
too different.
Bender: Hey, Leela, Bubble Gum might let me organize a bake sale for
the
Globetrotter wives. Can you teach me to make cupcakes?
Leela: All right, but I want to lick the beaters.
Fry: [Sighs] i got her champagne. I opened it. What does a guy
have to
do?
Tate: 86 the chump stuff, F-man. It's time to win Leela's heart
with a
big, showy, three-point, romantic gesture.
Fry: Hm... maybe this is the moment to show her my REAL surprise.
% Fry walks to the pilot chair, sits down and take the controls. The
ships
% shakes, going off the auto-pilot. Leela walks in.
Leela: Fry, what are you doing?!
Tate: Uh-oh, time to boogie on down to the sauna. [Walks away]
Fry: Look, I've been studying how to pilot the ship. Impressed?
Leela: Yeah, actually. You're doing okay. The core reactor
temperature's
nominal, the blinker's off.
Fry: I learned how to work the gravity pump, too, in case we need
to move
more stars. So are we dating now?
Leela: Oh, is that what this is all about? Please just cut it out,
now.
Fry: Look, Leela, I know there's some perfect, amazing thing I
can do to
make you love me and when I figure out what it is...
Leela: Fry, stop. I don't want to hurt you, but there's absolutely,
positively no way that you and I will ever, ever...
% Time skips. Fry and Leela at the altar, look around surprised.
Minister: Man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
% Fry grabs Leela and kisses her, she's leaning back. Wedding music
plays,
% everyone cheers.
Marv Albert: Yes!
% [End of Act Two. Act Time: 6:29 Running Time: 15:29]
% At the church. Fry and Leela still kissing. Cheering continues.
Zoidberg: He looks radiant.
% Times skips. Fry and Leela are not kissing anymore, and Fry is
standing
% with a mouthful of flowers.
Prof.: Ye gods, Bubble Gum, we failed. The time skips haven't
stopped at
all.
Tate: Even in these formal shorts I feel like a failure.
Leela: You tricked me into marrying you, didn't you?
Fry: Of course not.
Leela: How'd you do it? Drugs in the champagne? Hypnosis?
Fry: No! Drugs are for losers and hypnosis is for loser with big
weird
eyebrows. I don't know what amazing thing I did to make you
love me,
but whatever it was, we're married now. We've got the rest
of our
lives to work this...
% Time skip. Fry and Leela are in court.
Judge: Divorce is final.
Fry: What?
Leela: Well, let's divide up the china. I guess I'll take the NFC
helmets,
and you can have the AFC helmets.
Fry: Fine, break my heart again.
% Back to Planet Express
Zoidberg: Don't be so hard on yourself, Fry. You lost the woman of
your
dreams, but you still have Zoidberg. You all still have
Zoidberg!
Fry: How did I do it? How did I get Leela to love me? I've got to
figure
it out.
Hermes: Maybe you're just a fantastic lover, Fry.
Amy: N-no.
Fry: I don't know what I'm doing.
Bender: Maybe she'd come back to you if your best friend Bender were
a
Globetrotter. What do you say, Bubble Gum?
Tate: Hell, no.
Bender: Oh...
Fry: Oh, it's hopeless. I did something so great that it won
Leela's
heart and I'll never, ever know what that was. My life is
empty.
Zoidberg: Zoid-berg.
Prof.: No wonder we failed to stop the time skips. Diverting the
chronotons is mathematically impossible. I knew I should
have
checked your showboating Globetrotter algebra.
Tate: Man, I thought you knew that algebra was all razmatazz. A
Globetrotter always saves the good algebra for the final
minutes.
Bender: Ha-ha-ha-ha! Vintage Bubble Gum!
Prof.: The times skips are worse than ever now. Isolated spots are
jumping
by years at a time. Look.
% Two kids stand in front of Social Security Office.
Kid: Stupid senior citizens. Why should we have to pay for their
social
security benefits? [Time skips. The kids are old now] I
deserve free
money!
Prof.: Well, I'm stumped. We'll have to call on the finest
scientific minds
in the univ... [Time skips. Other Globetrotters are also
present
now] Perhaps we could explode the whole damned nebula. What
do you
think, Curly Joe?
Joe: No, man, an explosion big enough to destroy that mother
would take
out half of the universe.
Clyde: You gotta Globetrotter that explosion up a little, Farnsie.
Make it
an implosion.
Prof.: By God, Sweet Clyde is right. An implosion might just form a
black
hole that would stop more chronotons from escaping.
Tate: Whoa, slow that brain train down, Prof. We'd need some kind
of
doomsday device to initiate an implosion like that.
Prof.: Doomsday device? Ah, now the ball's in Farnsworth's court.
% Professor pushes a button on the remote control. A hatch in the
floor slides
% open, and a set of doomsday devices appear.
Prof.: I suppose I could part with one and still be feared.
Tate: Gimme some skin, Prof. [Professor gives him a five low] I'm
making
you an honorary Globetrotter. In fact, everybody in this
room's an
honorary Globetrotter.
Amy: Yay!
Zoidberg: I'm a Globetrotter.
% Bender runs in, winded.
Bender: Did you just say...
Tate: Too late, Hot Plate.
Bender: Ah, crap.
% The doomsday device is loaded into the ship.
Tate: We must leave now for we are needed elsewhere. But we wish
you
Gospeed. [They walk away dribbling basketballs]
Bender: Please, please let me come with you. i can make myself
taller.
[Bender's legs extend and he becomes as tall as Tate]
Tate: Bender, you can talk trash, you can handle the ball. But
look in
your heart and ask yourself: Are you funky enough to be a
Globetrotter? Are you?
Bender: Yes.
Tate: Are you?
Bender: I mean, with time, my funk level could...
Tate: Are you?!
Bender: No.
Tate: Deal with it.
% Bender goes down to his regular height and starts sniffling.
%
% The ship flies towards the previously constructed circular star
formation.
% Bender flies out of the ship with the doomsday device in his hands.
A sudden
% jerk of the cable causes him to drop the device, but he grabs it
again.
Leela: Careful with that doomsday device, Bender.
Bender: What does it matter? I'll never be a Globetrotter. My life -
and by
extension, everyone else's - is meaningless.
Leela: Roger.
Fry: Leela, about the wedding. I don't know what I did to make
you love
me and I don't think I tricked you into it but maybe I did,
and if I
did, I'm sorry.
Leela: It's okay, Fry. You know we'll always be friends, right?
Fry: Yeah, but I don't guess anything I could do will ever make
you feel
the same way about me that I do about you.
Leela: I guess not. [Kisses Fry on the cheek and walks off]
Bender: [Walks in] Well, the doomsday device is ready. maybe
blasting this
quadrant of space into a hell-storm of flaming nothingness
will
cheer me up a little.
Leela: Okay, let me just take the ship out to a safe distance.
[Looks at
Fry who is standing dejected by the window] Actually, I
think I'll
go down and prep the detonator. Fry, why don't you take the
helm?
% Fry looks up, smiles and goes to the pilot chair. Leela walks out.
Fry: She's so great. I feel like I can almost remember the
magical thing
I did to make her love me but i guess I never will.
Bender: Sorry, buddy. I, too, know what it's like to have a dream
I'll never
achieve. [Walks away sadly whistling a slow tune]
% Fry activates the controls. The ship roars and flies away from the
star
% cluster. Fry looks out the window.
Fry: Oh...
% As the ship is getting farther and farther away the view expands and
the
% circle of stars becomes a letter "O" of a note in the sky that reads
% "I LOVE YOU, LEELA".
Fry: That's how I must've done it. I moved the stars themselves
to write
her a love note in the sky.
Leela: [On intercom] Detonation in three, two, one.
Fry: Nooo!
% The doomsday device goes off, making an explosion that collapses
into a
% black hole, first breaking the ordered stars in a chaotic array,
then
% sucking them in, leaving nothing but a cosmic vortex. Fry looks at
it,
% shocked. Leela and Bender walk in.
Fry: Did you see it? Did you see it?
Bender: The explosion?
Fry: No, not the explosion.
Leela: Then what?
Fry: [Hangs his head] Nothing.
% Fry turns to the window and keeps staring at the black hole to
Bender's
% sad whistling.
