Opens onto robot arms apts
Fry sitting back in chair holding unopened can of slurm
Fry: 1000 years and mankind is yet to better the good old-fashioned ring pull.
Can peels off the opener by itself. Then throws itself in the bin. It misses and rolls off the edge.
Fry: aw man
Enter bender
Bender: hey I got that shopping you “needed”. Since when have humans needed food anyway your all gonna die. Hail the glorious robot cause!
Stands to attention and salutes.
Fry: yeah but the amount of peanut butter I’m gonna eat before then does not change. Gimme gimme gimme!
Hands jar of peanut butter to fry. Bender then takes crate of beer out of bag. Crumples bag up and throws it behind him. Opens beer
Bender: baby, you just made my day.
Downs beer and eats bottle
Fry: didn’t you get anything else? Is this it?
Bender: nah, this is just all I paid for. Move over meatbag, I gotta take a weight off my feet.
Bender sits down clinking, opens compartment and lifts out two more crates, giggling.
Bender: ah, spoils! (Removes a bottle opens and drinks) is that all your gonna eat?
Fry :(indignantly) no! The professor has a refrigerator for a reason. And now I’ve moved all those organs away there’s space for food in it to.
TV:
Morbo: however the wizards of planet oz 6 declined the space witch of the west’s peace offer, thus the war between them has not yet been brought to an end.
Linda: and now for some completely unrelated news - The society for useless science today released statistics showing that 85% of the working population are late to their jobs every day.
Morbo: making our invasion even easier! Fools! But wait. Morbo suspects a trap. What are you hiding (grabs Linda and shakes her) tell me! Or I will destroy you!
Fry: hey that reminds me, don’t we have jobs.
Bender: no
Fry: you know, that place where we get paid to do what were doing now.
Bender: what? Nothing?
Fry: mm hm
Bender: ah yes now I remember.
Fry: shouldn’t we go then?
Bender: nah
Fry: oh. Ok
(Pause)
Bender: wait you mentioned pay.
Open onto Planet Express building.
Bender and fry, Leela to, are sitting on couch “watching all my circuits” exactly as before Amy in corner trying to catch her mobile which keeps scuttling away. Cursing indistinguishably in Cantonese.
Leela (to TV): No! Don’t marry him! He doesn’t really love you!
Bender burps and Leela looks round surprised.
Leela: hey when did you sneak in?
Bender: about 20 minutes ago.
Leela: oh god (worried) what did you hear?
Fry: nothing.
Bender: oh yeah and by the way, I’m sorry but I don’t think Peter Krause loves you.
Leela winces.
Leela: (panicking and going red) I wasn’t saying that about me. I wanted…err…erm… her to…
Bender: I’m gonna stop you there before you embarrass yourself. (Pause, harsh laugh)
Fry: do you always talk to the TV? Or just if you want the people who live in it to have… (Cut short)
(Professor Farnsworth and Hermes enter)
Farnsworth: good news everyone! I have just found a way to save the company thousands of dollars!
All: hooray!
Hermes: Your all fired.
(Silence)
Bender: you suck.
Farnsworth: yes, that comes with age.
Fry: is there a reason?
Farnsworth: oh my yes, and a fairly interesting story too
(Flash back – you know, wiggly lines and swirling harp music)
Professor Farnsworth in room with smelloscope. Walks up to desk holding hammer, remote and small box <Power sock. Yam a power sock in it! >
Farnsworth narration: I was putting a new nuclear battery in the TV remote but my attention wandered.
While narration, Farnsworth opens box to reveal glowing rectangle. Removes back of remote and empties small grey rectangle onto table. Carefully lines up new battery then picks up hammer and starts hitting. Camera moves away to balcony (we can no longer see the battery) owls land on balcony
Dream Farnsworth: (looks towards owls and waves free hand at them) Go away you pesky owls!
Hammer makes assorted smashing sounds as Farnsworth continues randomly hitting things.
(End flash back)
Farnsworth: the unique combination of the different broken materials somehow
re-combobulated the remote (waves remote), so that it now controls the ship. I also constructed some ultra cheap robots to deliver the package using the same control unit. (Pushes button. Arpeggio bleep)
Electric motor whirring noise as robot trundles onto scene and stops.
Robot: here is your package. Thank you for using planet express.
Bender: neat! (Takes photo) does it say anything else?
Farnsworth: oh my no.
Bender: unique eh? So you’d certainly be in a mess if someone stole it.
Farnsworth: yes, I’d probably never be able to remake it, and then I would have to re-hire you lot.
Bender: you don’t say.
Leela: how could you do this professor? I thought we were your friends. And fry’s your oldest living relative, how could you do this to him?
Fry: Yeah how could you do this to me?
Leela: shut up Fry.
Fry: yes captain. (Salutes) hey wait. Your not the captain any mo…
Leela: (interrupting) and Hermes, I… actually no this is something I would expect you to do.
Hermes: hey mon’, I find dat’ offensive. Now get packin’ before I call da’ police for tresspassin’!
Outside shot
Crew – Leela, fry, Amy and bender - in locker room
Fry: I can’t believe he fired us.
Leela: well he has done it more than twice in the past.
Fry: I know, I mean I can’t believe he fired us again.
Amy: you think you’re unlucky. Its back to mars for me, to live with my parents.
Bender: what’s so bad about that? Your parents are sickeningly rich.
Amy: You’re a cold metal robot without parents. You wouldn’t understand.
Bender starts sobbing then sits down next to fry with head in hands crying
Amy: I think I’ll just stay here in New New York.
Fry: I wonder how I’m gonna pay for stuff without money.
Leela: yeah you’ll have a problem there.
Bender: (recovered, stands up) whoa, whoa, whoa. I appreciate that you guys have been fired but what this crap about paying? Just leave that to ole’ uncle bender. (Thumps chest twice)
Hermes comes halfway down stairs
Hermes: two police officers just arrived looking for a Mr Bender.
Bender: wahhhhh! (Panicking noises. Runs around in a little circle waving arms and then hides in locker)
Fry: wait have we forgotten someone?
Cut to PE conference table. Dr Zoidberg is sitting back with feet on table, looking around him.
Zoidberg: Where did everyone go?
Delivery robot trundles up (electric whirring noise) to table holding box
Robot: here is your package. Thank you for using planet express.
Zoidberg spins round
Zoidberg: finally.
Opens box and devours contents noisily.
Cut back to robot arms apts.
Fry and bender enter through front door.
Fry: aw man, I gotta think of what to do with the rest of my life.
Sits down with slurm in exactly same position on sofa as at work.
Bender: meh, looks like you’ve found something. (Leans against door frame, arms crossed)
Fry: how could he just replace us with hyper efficient robots who do our jobs hundreds of time better than us? He should be ashamed. Very ashamed. So ashamed that he eats his damned robots and come crawling back to us, giving us praise and money. I’m mad! I’m really mad!
Bender: one does find oneself questioning the professor’s logic. However I believe that part of your, to say the least, unorthodox daydream shall be acted upon.
Fry: eh?
Bender opens compartment and pulls out the all-powerful TV remote and hands it to fry
Bender: I stole the remote.
Fry: hooray! Now we’ll be forced to work together again! But why do you care about what happens to our jobs?
Bender: I don’t, its just handy having a place where I can hide stuff of a sensitive nature.
Fry: And now just to sit back and wait for the call. The call where we get our lives back. (Points remote at TV and turns on. Nothing happens. Fry screams)
Cut to PE ship pad. Professor shuffling past back of space ship. Engines start, roof opens and ramp tilts up.
Farnsworth: wha?
Cut back to robot arms apts.
Bender: What, what?
Fry: the TV! Its not working!
Bender: (sharp intake of breath) No! (Concerned) Quick! Try pressing all the different buttons!
(Both start stabbing buttons on remote, teeth on edge)
Cut back to ship on launch ramp. Professor is inspecting glowing engines.
Farnsworth: hmmmm…
Ship makes grinding gear changing noises and engines fire up. Farnsworth screams. Ship takes off.
Wiggly PE ship flyby
Cut back to robot arms apts. We can see PE ship flying randomly in background.
Fry: It’s no good! All is lost.
Bender: no wait, try changing the channel lots.
We see PE ship in background dip sharply and hear distant smashing noise. Pulls back up.
Bender: ah well. We’ll just have to get another one. Now which bag to take.
We see assortment of sacks – swag, large swag, huge swag, and wide swag. Benders hands appear and choose wide swag. Does evil giggle.
See bender with sack over shoulder. Out of window PE ship speeds towards us.
Bender: ok I’ll see you later looser, depending on how many police there are.
Walks out towards door. PE ship dips just before hitting. Cut to outside shot. Ship enters building (smashing) goes down 10 floors (camera follows) and exits the other side (pop sound). Cut back to inside. Building shakes fry holds on to sofa bender holds on to doorframe. “Whoa, wah, wwwhoa” etc. stops and Fry and sofa fall through rapidly forming hole in floor. Disappear off screen.
Fry: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (thud). Ow, my skin.
Bender: hahahahahaha hahahahahaha, oh wait. (Floor continues to collapse under him. falls off screen) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (metal crunch) god dam!
Open on to Taco Bellevue Hospital
Crew gathered around fry’s bed. Bender is in next bed but surrounded by curtains. We can hear loud metal banging noises and bender going “(clang) ow (clang) ow (clang) ow”. Fry has all arms and legs in casts.
Leela: poor baby. In fact it’s lucky you were on that sofa. This could have been a lot worse.
Farnsworth: aww (disappointed). I almost had a chance there to refill my refrigerator. Minus a liver. Some crackpot moved all those organs and hid them behind my bed. The smell’s still there.
Fry: meh, I’ve had worse. My brother pushed me off the roof of the house once. The doctor said that if I had landed any other way up, my head would have looked like my ass.
Amy: even so, it would have helped if bender hadn’t landed on you. How long are you in that cast for?
Fry: erm…
Fry looks over to bedside table. A small digital clock is counting down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; airlock type hissing noise and cast splits in half.
Fry: there we go.
Clanging and owing stops and bender and doctor holding hammer appear through curtain. Bender rubs head as Fry sits round and puts trousers on.
Farnsworth: well, until I find that dratted remote, you’re all re-hired. But don’t get any crazy ideas about paying. I’m just bumming the work hours off you because you’re my “friends”. Oh my, did I just say that out loud?
Bender: (sobbing) that apartment was all I ever owned.
Hermes: but you had lots of tings’ Mon.
Bender: (still sobbing) I meant legally. And even that was only because I cheated at cards.
Leela: don’t worry its being rebuilt right now, but until then your gonna have to stay with someone.
Bender: no problem, Roberto owes me some big time favours I can hold against him.
Leela: Fry?
Fry: I dunno, erm, professor, can I
Farnsworth: no! The water rates are high enough what with that bladder I don’t have anymore!
Fry: well then I guess I could sleep in a box.
Leela: nuh uh, you’ll just have to stay with me.
Fry: wow thanks.
Cut to picture of Leela address (1I) zoom out to show fry and Leela standing there. Fry is looking at the address.
Fry: heh heh heh. (Leela frowns and taps foot)
Outside PE building shot.
Cut to PE conference table, Leela looking grumpy with arms crossed. Fry sporting a black eye.
Fry: I ended up sleeping in a box last night anyway. (Glares at Leela)
Leela: humph.
Farnsworth: well maybe this delivery will cheer you up. The package is being sent to planet wunderkind, a planet inhabited entirely by small intelligent, cute little bears.
Fry: oh, that sounds ok.
Farnsworth: yes, they communicate by biting each other with their razor sharp teeth.
Fry’s face falls
Fry: to make things worse, I’m gonna need a place to stay tonight. Professor, can I (cut off)
Farnsworth: No! The electricity bill won’t pay itself. That’s the only reason I’d ever want to be a politician.
Bender: yeah I’m gonna need a place to crash as well. (Sad/worried face) me an’ Roberto had a short but very sharp disagreement so it’s probably best for me to remain inconspicuous for a while.
Amy: I guess you two could stay at mine for a couple of nights.
Fry: cool, thanks Amy.
Bender: Yeah, thanks. Anything I can do to repay you. Stuff need bending? People need beating up?
Amy: actually there is this guy…
Bender: talk to me baby.
Glitzy apartment block
Bender, Fry and Amy standing outside apartment.
Amy: I’m afraid it’s a little cluttered.
Opens door. Room is full of gadgets, gold ponies etc.
Bender: (sharp intake of breath) Hello. (Eyes extend).
Amy: don’t get any ideas Bender.
Bender: how could you accuse me of such an act? I find that offensive.
Amy: I’ll believe you when you put that clock back on the wall.
Bender: Aw jeez.
(Opens compartment and takes out huge cuckoo clock. As he is re-attaching the clock to the wall the clock chimes and the bird pops out and pecks bender: cuckoo… ow… cuckoo… ow… etc)
Fry: wow I wonder what it’s like being so rich.
Amy: its not as good as it sounds. Apart from anything, I’m supposed to have standards when dating. Please.
Fry: shouldn’t you have those anyway?
Amy folds arms and taps foot in perfect impression of Leela. Fry cowers away.
Bender: What, we’re going? Ok lemme just do one thing. (Grabs golden pony) cheese it! (Both run)
Outside PE building shot
PE conference table, all but Zoidberg present. Leela and Amy looking grumpy with arms crossed.
Fry: I ended up seeping in the same place last night. (Glares at Amy and Leela)
Bender: (Wearing topper, monocle and smoking a cigar) heh heh, don’t know what your complaining about. Tell the plebs what recently rich uncle bender got you Fry.
Fry: A carpet to line my box with. Is there somewhere I can stay tonight?
Hermes: sure ting Mon.
Fry: cool.
Farnsworth: well, for once I’m not even going to pretend that you’ll enjoy this next delivery.
Hermes: your off to de’ infamous protectrix system to deliver dis’ cookie dough to de’ old inhabitants of space Florida.
All intake of breath.
Leela: Professor, don’t make us do it! Pleeeeaaaaase!
Fry: (panicky) oh no! More old people!
Farnsworth: that’s right. Now good luck and in gods name, avoid stray war stories.
Open on to Hermes’ house (outside shot) “later”
Fry: Thanks for your hospitality Mrs Conrad, and first course was delicious. You Jamaicans sure know how to fill someone up
Mrs Conrad (Labarbara): ah your welcom’ dere’ Fry. I ope’ you ave’ an enjoyable time ere’ with us.
Hermes: Fry, can you elp’ me prepare dis’ ackee and salt fish?
Fry: What’s that?
Conrad family gasp. Mrs Conrad crosses arms and taps foot like Amy. Fry looks worried.
Fry: what? What?
Outside shot of PE building
PE conference table the next day
Fry: (angry) …So I got back to my box yesterday (glares at Hermes, Amy and Leela in turn) only to find that some jerk had not just taken my carpet, but also the box. I ended up sleeping on what turned out to be another homeless guy.
Leela: hmmm. (Hint of worry.)
Farnsworth: well at least you’ll enjoy today’s task.
Leela: oh lord. Where are we off to today?
Farnsworth: nowhere! It’s some crappy holiday, which makes me have to tell you that your all allowed to do what you want, in order to appear like a nice boss. Stupid regulations!
Fry: I’ve got to find somewhere to stay tonight. Professor, please let me stay here tonight. I promise I won’t use the shower.
Farnsworth: on the contrary… aww, all right. But you’re sleeping in the basement with scruffy.
Scruffy: scruffy’s gon’ give ya the tour before you goes on the big job spoken of previously.
Dripping basement. Scruffy turns lights on. Fry follows him down the stairs.
Scruffy: this here’s the bed.
Lies down on bed and starts reading magazine
Crew watching TV in lounge. Fry enters through door.
Fry: right. I’m sorted for another couple of weeks.
Leela: Are you sure? I went down there earlier and it’s not nice. It’s cold and damp and you don’t even have a bed.
Fry: meh, I’ve had worse.
Leela: stop saying that! Just because you’ve had worse doesn’t mean you should put up with it! Please come back and stay at my apartment, for your sake.
Fry: (needling Leela) are you worrying about me? I’ll be fine. I just hope the rats don’t eat my shoes.
Leela makes worried face.
Bender: (half paying attention) heh heh, rats. Eat shoes. Heh heh heh.
Shot of outside, Music Bridge. “1 week later” PE conference table. Fry is a mess. Clothes ripped, bags under eyes, scratches.
Farnsworth: Good news everyone. (Takes out air horn. Fry is asleep with head on table. Professor gives fry a blast with the air horn fry screams and jumps) I said GOOD NEWS deaffo. The space Nazis have been pushed back by doop and squid planet 7… (Gives fry who is dozing off another blast. Screams again) is again under earth control. If we move quickly, we can become sole suppliers to the rapidly growing hair band market. I’m sending you off with Hermes to do some market research. And on a different matter, has anyone seen Dr Zoidberg this week?
All (but Fry): No.
Farnsworth: wonderful! Off you go. (Give fry another blast with air horn, screams etc)
PE ship takeoff and flyby.
Leela: its not too far. Only a couple of million, million miles. You might want to take a nap. (Fry starts snoring immediately. Leela smiles)
Bender: what you lookin’ at him for? Go to sleep. (Cover slides down and also starts snoring)
Leela looks at Fry fondly. Covers him over with a blanket.
Bender: I said, go to sleep. (Leela jumps) I’m not carrying any bodies around when the oxygen runs out.
PE ship slow flyby
Leela: (softly) wake up fry, we’re here. (Shakes his shoulders)
Fry: (waking slowly then…) wha? (Jumps up) Ahhhh! Leave me alone you stupid rats! Oh, its just you. Sorry, it’s just that since the rats in the basement ate that table I was sleeping on, they’ve taken a liking to my fingers.
Leela: Hmmm.
Hermes: when you mango farmers ave’ finished sympathising you’ll realise dat’ its time to roll.
Fry: o(yawning)k. I’ll go down and push the (yawn) thing.
Exit with Hermes.
Bender: What is it with you two? You finally falling for him?
Leela: Yeah… (Pause) I mean no! I mean I’m just worried about him. He’s had almost no sleep over the past week.
Bender: I know. Hilarious isn’t it! (Laughs) In my opinion, sleep is the downfall of the human race. But I can’t really complain. I do constantly take advantage of it.
Hermes pokes head through bridge door.
Hermes: we got a problem.
Cut to cargo bay. Fry has fallen asleep on crate.
Bender: no worries, the professor gave me this. (Pulls air horn from compartment. Give Fry a blast. Fry screams and jumps. Hermes goes off screen)
Leela: Fry; you can’t go on like this. Please stay with me until the apartment is fixed.
Fry: I can’t. I made fun of you address. I don’t deserve it.
Leela: that hardly matters right now. At least let me deliver this crate for you while you go and get some sleep.
Fry: No! As delivery boy, I have to make sure the package reaches its destination.
Leela: fine, but if you deliver this then you have to stay with me.
Fry: fine! (Leela smiles) wait, (camera zooms out) where’s the crate? (Crate has indeed vanished. Hermes is back)
Hermes: I delivered it while you two were arguing. You seemed busy.
Fry: aw crud.
Outside shot of Leela’s apartment. Cut to fry and Leela standing outside as before. Fry is looking at the apartment number, Leela at Fry.
Fry: It’s just not funny the second time I guess.
Leela smiles, unlocks and opens door and goes in.
Fry: heh heh. (Follows Leela in)
Inside apartment.
Fry: wow, it hasn’t changed a bit. What memories.
Leela: yeah (reminiscing) but don’t get any ideas.
Fry: I suppose I shouldn’t.
Camera effect. Everything speeds up; we see the week of fry’s stay in fast motion. Shows Fry and Leelas’ week. Them having fun, talking into the night etc.
Shot of outside PE building
Inside, conference table.
Farnsworth: Good news all round today. Hermes, you’re being promoted for your part in the hair band project…
Hermes: Jehovah’s witnesses! A promotion!
Farnsworth: and demoted for your part in the hair band fiasco.
Hermes: (tearful) Requisition me a tissue mon.
Farnsworth: Yes, thanks to the hair band fiasco you’re all being demoted. I haven’t thought up names for your new positions yet but you will all be receiving sixty percent less pay than before. Also, Fry, Bender. Your apartment has almost been repaired. I have been informed that you can move back in tonight.
(Same time)
Bender: woo hooo!
Fry: Yeah! At last
Fry: I wonder if any of my stuff will be there?
Bender: hahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahaahaha! Oh you were being serious.
Farnsworth: oh, and I almost forgot. Has anyone seen Zoidberg over the past two weeks?
All: no.
Farnsworth: Wonderful, wonderful! Now get lost. I’m expecting an order any minute and I don’t want your ugly, ugly faces embarrassing me on the videophone.
Shot of PE building
All congregated around the table in the lounge minus Farnsworth and Zoidberg. Fry and bender are sitting down
Fry: oh man! I can’t wait to get back to our apartment!
Bender: me neither. The water in that alley I was staying in was rusting my feet.
Fry: its gonna be great having a place where I can do all those embarrassing things I don’t do. Leela, as a way of saying thank you for letting me stay with you, it’d be great if you would let me take you out tonight.
Leela: (Smiles) I’d like that.
(Pause. Fry and Leela smiling at each other)
Bender: get a room! (Angry looks towards bender)
Outside shot of Elzars fine cuisine (night). Fry and Leela dressed up for date.
Fry: all on me, and no expense spared. Promise me not to hold back.
Leela: Wow, erm ok. Since when have you become such a big spender?
Fry: since I stopped being scammed by bender for two weeks. Keeping away from him for a while really helps my wallet grow.
Elzar: (carrying pad) I heard the words big spender and wallet while eavesdropping so I decided you needed serving. (Turning to fry) so, tryin’ to score eh? Well you’re in good hands. Everything here is hideously over priced so that you can flash your wad in order to impress.
Leela: Hey we don’t pay you to talk. Just take our order.
Elzar: I disagree. In my opinion, you don’t pay to talk. What’ll you two lovebirds be having?
Leela: (inspects menu) oh, I don’t know. What’s good?
Elzar: all the pasta dishes are exceptionally cheap to make.
Leela: ok then, I’ll have the potato risotto.
Elzar: good choice. And for you?
Pause while Fry points at something on the menu (we can’t see). Elzar leans over to see.
Elzar: wow, you’re braver than you look.
Fry: and your finest champagne to, please.
Elzar: Bam! (Points with two of his hands at Fry. Elzar walks off)
Leela: I really appreciate this Fry. You know didn’t have to take me out.
Fry: Heck, you deserve it. Anyway, you speak like I’m not enjoying myself. I like being with you.
Leela puts her hand on Fry’s. They move together, as to kiss. A fly buzzes past.
Elzar: (off screen) Bam!
Frying pan zooms between them after fly. Startled, they part.
Elzar: and may I also suggest getting a room.
Overhead shot of central park (night)
Fry and Leela are walking side by side along path.
Fry: so the moral of the story is of course: (Fry and Leela together) don’t sell cars to drunken Greek people! (Both laugh)
Fry: I’m so glad they decided to re-build central park just the way it was in the 21st century. There’s a place I wanna show you. Here. (Takes Leela’s hand and pulls her off the path.) Just through here… (Pushing through bushes) There.
They are on a bank overlooking a lake. Beautiful view. We hear Leela gasping at view.
Leela: (awestruck) it’s so beautiful.
Fry: I must have spent months here back in the 20th century. It was just far away enough from any main road to be distracting when you were with someone. But when you were alone it was just close enough so you could hear the taxi drivers yelling at each other. I used to spend hours just listening to the sound of the park and the city.
Both sit down on bank. We watch from behind.
Leela: Fry, I’ve never seen this side of you. (Puts arm round Fry.) Tonight was great, even when those police tried to arrest you.
Fry: How can you steal someone’s suit for crying out loud?
Leela: Yeah… (Pause puts head on Fry’s shoulder. Fry puts arm around Leela) Fry?
Fry: Yeah?
Leela: Last week was a blast.
Fry: yeah. It was.
(Pause)
Leela: you could stay if you wanted.
Fry: (surprised) you mean move in?
Leela: do you want to?
Fry: I’d love to! (Leela looks up and smiles) it’s just…
Leela: what?
Fry: I don’t think I could do it to bender. He’s very easily upset. And he’s my best friend.
Leela: if he’s your best friend then what am I?
They move together to kiss. Interrupted.
Zoidberg: (head pokes out of lake) Get a room! (Scuttles out of lake) wait, Fry? Leela? Oh what a coincidence why not?
Fry: Zoidberg!? What the hell?
Zoidberg: I discovered crayfish in the lake and have been visiting them for the past two weeks. Did the professor miss me? (Fry and Leela glare at him)
Cut to outside Leela’s apartment. Still dark. Leela and Fry standing outside her apartment with the door open.
Leela: I had a wonderful time fry. I haven’t been treated so well in years.
Fry: just my way of saying thanks. You saved my life when you let me stay here.
Fry and Leela move together and finally kiss.
Old Lady: (off screen) Get a room!
Startled, they part.
Fry: I should go.
Leela: I’ll see you tomorrow.
Fry: Sleep tight (Leela smiles, goes in, and closes door.)
We see Fry enter Robot Arms Apts. It is bare, completely empty. Fry looks around and smiles. Goes to his room. His door is still there with the signs saying go away bender etc. looks at it and continues smiling. Goes into room. Also empty. Takes jacket off and goes into corner. Lies down in corner and covers himself with jacket. Closes eyes. Still smiling.
