               [Planet Express: Meeting Room. Fry, Bender and Leela sit around 
               a big green table facing a big screen which Farnsworth stands 
               in front of.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         As new employees I'd like your opinion 
                         on our commercial. I paid to have it 
                         air during the Superbowl.
 
               
                                     FRY
                         Wow!

               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Not on the same channel, of course.
 
                         
               
               [He puts a tiny video into the VCR and the commercial appears 
               on the screen. A man is sat in his office and a huge green horrible 
               gelatinous blob with three eyes is in front of him.]
 
               
                                     ANNOUNCER
                          Interplanetary deliveries - what a 
                         headache!
 
               
               
                                     MAN
                          Uh... (shouting) I'm not Evans!

               
               [Horrible Gelatinous Blob turns to the camera.]

               
               
                                     ANNOUNCER
                          When those other companies aren't brave 
                         or foolhardy enough to go, trust Planet 
                         Express for reliable, on time delivery.
 
                         
               
               [As the announcer speaks the Planet Express ship streaks across 
               the screen being chased by spaceships shooting lasers at it. 
               A man runs across an ice world with a parcel while at the same 
               time being bombed. He delivers the parcel and is snatched by 
               a gigantic vulture. Back in the office Evans lifts up a parcel.]
 
               
               
                                     EVANS
                          Here's your package, Mr. Horrible Gelatinous 
                         Blob.
 
               
               
               [He eats Evans anyway.]

               
                                     EVANS
                          Thank you, sir!

               
               [The Planet Express logo - a simplified picture of the ship flying 
               across a white circle with "Planet Express" written around it 
               - appears on the screen.]
 
               
                                     ANNOUNCER
                          Planet Express: Our crew is replaceable. 
                         Your package isn't.
 
               
               [The bird is still carrying the man and squawks. The commercial 
               ends.]
 
               
                                     FRY
                         Are there really giant birds like that?
 
                         
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         No, no! That was all just special effects! 
                         Now let's have breakfast. I hope everyone 
                         likes eggs.
 
               
               [Cut to: Planet Express: Kitchen. Farnsworth opens a box of eggs. 
               They are giant bird eggs. One hatches and the bird inside tries 
               to eat him. He hits it with a frying pan.]
 
               
               [Opening Credits. Caption: In Hypno-Vision.]

               
               [Outside Planet Express. A Jamaican man with dreads crosses the 
               street. He is wearing a green suit and glasses. He unlocks the 
               door and turns the open sign around from "Sorry, We're Closed" 
               to "Sorry, We're Open".]
 
               
               [Cut to: Planet Express. Meeting Room. Fry, Bender, Farnsworth 
               and Leela are sat around the table. Fry pours some cereal into 
               a bowl, Bender relaxes and Leela looks at a clipboard.]
 
               
                                     FRY
                         I'm never going to get used to the 31st 
                         century.  Caffinated bacon? Baconated 
                         grapefruit? Admiral Crunch?
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         Well, if you don't like that try some 
                         Archduke Chocula.
 
               
               [She holds up a box of the cereal. Enter the Jamaican man with 
               a large crate.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Ah, Hermes! Crew, meet Hermes Conrad. 
                         He manages my delivery business, pays 
                         the bills, notifies next of kin, what 
                         have you.
 
               
                                     HERMES
                         Someone come and dropped this package 
                         through the slot last night. Now which 
                         one of you is the captain?
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Oh, my! I haven't picked a new captain 
                         yet. It's always so hard to choose.
 
                         
               
               [He looks around the table. Fry is so enthusiastic he doesn't 
               manage to swallow his spoonful of cereal completely and milk 
               dribbles down his chin.]
 
               
               
               [Farnsworth looks at Bender who drinks back a bottle of beer 
               and belches a flame. He looks at Leela. She has already signed 
               Hermes' clipboard and she salutes to him.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Hmm, you!

               
               [He points at her. Fry groans.]

               
               [Planet Express: Hermes' Office. Hermes sits at his desk facing 
               Leela. He slides a sheet of paper to her.]
 
               
                                     HERMES
                         OK, Captain, this is just a standard 
                         legal release protecting Planet Express 
                         from lawsuits in the event of the unforeseen.
 
                         
               
               [He hands Leela a piece of paper.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         (reading) Death by airlock failure.
 
                         
               
                                     HERMES
                         Mmm.

               
                                     LEELA
                         (reading) Death by brain parasite.
 
                         
               
                                     HERMES
                         Yeah.

               
                                     LEELA
                         (reading) Death by sonic diarrhoea?
 
                         
               
                                     HERMES
                         (chuckling) Oh, you don't want that!
 
                         
               
                                     LEELA
                         Look, I don't know about any of your 
                         previous captains but I intend to do 
                         as little dying as possible.
 
               
               [She puts the form on the desk and Hermes chuckles again. He 
               slides it back to her.]
 
               
                                     HERMES
                         Sign the paper!

               
               [Planet Express: Corridor. Farnsworth and Fry stand next to a 
               door.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Now Fry, before you go into space you'll 
                         need to see our staff doctor. I should 
                         warn you though, he's a little unusual. 
                         (whispering) He wears sandals!
 
               
               [Cut to: Planet Express: Zoidberg's Office. The doctor, a red 
               alien creature is sat in his chair with is feet on the desk. 
               Behind him is a chart of a human's internal organs - pinned to 
               the wall upside down.]
 
               
                                     FRY
                         Hi -- eurgh!

               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Dr. Zoidberg, this is Fry, the new delivery 
                         boy. He needs a physical.
 
               
                                     ZOIDBERG
                         Excellent, excellent!

               
               [He clacks his claws. Fry is not so sure.]

               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         You'll be fine.

               
               [He turns to leave but looks back with a worried look on his 
               face.]
 
               
                                     ZOIDBERG
                         Now open your mouth and let's have a 
                         look at that brain.  No no no no no 
                         not that mouth!
 
               
                                     FRY
                         I only have one.

               
                                     ZOIDBERG
                         Really?

               
               [He takes a small card out of his pocket and looks at it.]

               
                                     FRY
                         Uh, is there a human doctor around?
 
                         
               
                                     ZOIDBERG
                         Young lady, I'm an expert on humans. 
                         Now pick a mouth, open it and say... 
                         What? My mother was a saint! Get out!
 
                         
               
               [Planet Express: Farnsworth's Lab. Farnsworth is unscrewing Bender's 
               head from his body. With them is Leela and a young Asian woman 
               wearing a pink jumpsuit.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Dear Lord, Bender, you're filthy.

               
                                     BENDER
                         Yeah, like you don't have crap in your 
                         neck!
 
               
               [Farnsworth puts Bender's head down on a table and turns to the 
               girl.]

                         Amy, why don't you give his body a going 
                         over with the cleaning pick?
 
               
                                     AMY
                         OK. Does it hurt when I go like this?
 
                         
               
               [She pokes Bender's neck but hits Leela in the eye instead.]

                         Ow!

               
                                     BENDER
                         A little.

               
               [Enter Fry.]

               
                                     FRY
                         Well, the doctor says I'm as healthy 
                         as a crab. Can I go into space now?

               looks at the broken wheel and Fry sees a huge shadow approaching.]
 
               
               
                                     FRY
                         Hey, cool! Dark side of the moon!

               
               [Leela gasps.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         Nightfall's coming.  Hurry, before we 
                         freeze.
 
               
               [The flee from the shadow.]

               
                                     BENDER
                         What do you mean "we", mammal?

               
               [Cut to: Planet Express: Farnsworth's Lab. He watches the crew 
               through a telescope.]
 
               
                                     FARNSWORTH
                         Oh, dear! I really ought to do something. 
                         But I am already in my pyjamas.
 
               
               [He falls asleep and starts snoring.]

               
               [Cut to: Lunar Surface. Fry and Leela are panting.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         We can't outrun it forever.

               
               [Fry sees something.]

               
                                     FRY
                         Over there! Look! It's the moon landing 
                         site! We found it!
 
               
               [They run towards it. Leela climbs the ladder and pushes over 
               the hatch.]
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         Quick, get in.

               
               [Fry sees the American flag.]

               
                                     FRY
                         It's that flag from MTV! And Neil Armstrong's 
                         footprint!  Hey! My foot's bigger! Leela, 
                         isn't this the greatest thing you've 
                         ever seen?
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         Fry, look around. It's just a crummy 
                         plastic flag and a dead man's tracks 
                         in the dust.  Now get in here before 
                         you freeze.
 
               
               [Fry sighs and climbs the ladder.]

               
               [Cut to: Apollo 11 Lander. Leela helps him in.]

               
               [Cut to: Lunar Surface. She closes the door just as Bender arrives.]
 
               
               
                                     BENDER
                         Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll 
                         go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack 
                         and hookers. In fact, forget the lunar 
                         lander and the blackjack. Ah, screw 
                         the whole thing.
 
               
               [He walks off.]

               
               [Apollo 11 Lander. Leela reads the oxygen gauge.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         Well if the oxygen holds out we might 
                         live long enough to starve to death.
 
                         
               
                                     FRY
                         Look, Leela, I'm sorry. I never should 
                         have dragged you out here.
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         That's right, you shouldn't have. I 
                         still don't get what the big attraction 
                         is.
 
               
               [Fry sighs.]

               
                                     FRY
                         I never told anybody this but a thousand 
                         years ago I used to look up at the moon 
                         and dream about being an astronaut. 
                         I just didn't have the grades. Nor the 
                         physical endurance. Plus I threw up 
                         a lot and nobody liked spending a week 
                         with me.
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         A week would be a little much.

               
                                     FRY
                         The moon was like this awesome, romantic, 
                         mysterious thing, hanging up there in 
                         the sky where you could never reach 
                         it, no matter how much you wanted to. 
                         But you're right. Once you're actually 
                         here it's just a big dull rock. I guess 
                         I just wanted you to see it through 
                         my eyes, the way I used to.
 
               
               [Leela looks through a window. She sees the Earth.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         Fry, look. It really is beautiful. I 
                         don't know why I never noticed before.
 
                         
               
               [Bender runs towards the capsule.]

               
               [Cut to: Lunar Surface. The farmer is chasing him in a weird 
               thing with spikes.]
 
               
                                     FARMER
                         Had to come back for the Crushinator, 
                         eh, robot? Well I got you this time.
 
                         
               
               [The spikes get closer to Bender. The Planet Express ship swoops 
               in above them. The magnetic winch lowers towards Bender.]

                                     LEELA
                         Amy? Where'd she learn to operate the 
                         controls like that?
 
               
               [Cut to: Ships Cockpit. Amy is operating the winch expertly, 
               having had practice at the Luna Park with the claw game. The 
               toys from the game are piled up in the corner.]

                         Not the magnet! No! No! Nooo --  Uh-oh!
 
                         
               
               [Cut to: Ships Cockpit. Amy cheers.]

               
               [Cut to: Lunar Surface. Bender kicks his legs and waves his arms 
               around as he flies away from the farmer attached to the winch.]

                         mountain when she comes,
 
               She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes --

               (talking) I'll kill you Amy!

               (singing) She'll be comin' round the mountain,

               She'll be comin' round the mountain,

               She'll be comin' --

               
               [He slams into the side of the lunar lander and it takes off. 
               The farmer watches the ship fly away and takes off his space 
               helmet and jumps on it.]

               [He starts to choke then collapses. He reaches over to the helmet 
               and puts it back on and breathes. Bender, still attached to the 
               side of the lander, carries on singing.]

                         horses when she comes,
 
               She'll be riding six white horses when she comes -

               (talking) Hey, I'm pretty good!

                          So, Fry, was the real moon anything 
                         like the moon you used to dream about?
 
                         
               
                                     FRY
                          Well, close enough!

               
               THE END

               
                                     BENDER
                          Well I'll shoot her with my ray gun 
                         when she comes,
 
               Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun when she comes,

               Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun,

               Oh, I'll shoot her with my ray gun,

               Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun when she comes,

               When she comes!

               
               I'll be blastin' all the humans in the world,

               I'll be blastin' all the humans in the world,

               I'll be blastin' all the humans,

               I'll be blastin' all the humans,

               I'll be blastin' all the humans in the world,

               In the world!
