Scenes with Professor Hubert Farnsworth 187

Hey, I’m beginning to think you guys don’t think I’m very smart.

Prof. Farnsworth

You can barely remember your own name, Einstein.

Einstein is a hard name to remember!

[The Professor sighs, and pokes Fry in the eyes with a double fing-longer.]

Ow!

Shmesh, Professor. Don't have a shmaneurism. Fry’s your distant relative.

Prof. Farnsworth

Not distant enough! I’ll be a monkey’s uncle if I’m this monkey’s nephew.

But you’re my only family. Who will hug me if I achieve something?

Prof. Farnsworth

Oh, perhaps I’ve been too harsh. Come, lad, take my hand and I’ll explain why I find you so repugnant.

I was in the hospital two weeks. No one visited me.

Prof. Farnsworth

Quiet, you. I’m trying to deduce the function of Da Vinci’s lost invention.

Not even a card.

Prof. Farnsworth

My God! This is the greatest mystery in history. We must go to Rome and exhume the body of Saint James.

Didn't we used to be a delivery company?

Prof. Farnsworth

To the ship!

Prof. Farnsworth

My God! DaVinci's Vitruvian Man!

It's truly a masterpiece. Note how the perspective lines draw the eye right to his dong.

Prof. Farnsworth

Oh, I fear I may not survive this war re-enactment. I can’t believe we’re only 12 feet from the parking lot.

[Laughing.] This is every bit as fun as the real civil war.

Not the Civil War, private. We’re re-enacting the Sith-il War.

Sith? What the hoth?

Farnsworth

You're not going anywhere!

But I have a date.

Farnsworth

You were late this morning. So you'll have to stay and test my latest invention.

[They walk over to a giant sheet covering something. He reveals a time travelling machine.]

Farnsworth

Behold! A time travelling machine!

[Fry and Bender gasp.]

Time? I can't go back there!

Farnsworth

Ah, but this time machine only goes forward in time. That way you can't accidentally change history. Or do something disgusting like sleep with your own grandmother.

I wouldn't wanna do that again.

[Outside the time machine in the year one billion, Fry is returning back to Bender and Farnsworth, who were just hanging around watching the vast emptiness of extinction.]

You know, all in all, I had a good life. What you say the three of us grab a six pack and watch the universe end?

Farnsworth

Hear, hear!

That's basically what I do every day. [pulls out a six pack]

[As the trio are all inside the time machine, they all open their beer cans and toast.]

To the end of the universe.

[Fry pulls the switch. The machine starts ticking. They sit down and wait. Outside the sun explodes and the Earth crumbles before them. Truly marking the end of the world.]

So long, Earth. Thanks for the air and whatnot.

[The sun vanishes into nothing and the universe behind is revealed. A set of white explosions occur in the form of fireworks. They gasp in awe.]

Hey, uh, what was the purpose of life anyway?

Farnsworth

Who knows? Probably some hogwash about the human spirit.

Mm-hm.

Sounds about right.

[Before them, the universe expands in size as the galaxies float away from one another making the universe darker and darker. Thus, marking the end of the galaxy and the universe as a whole.]

Farnsworth

The stars are receding. Oh, the vast emptiness. [shakes his can at Bender]

Yeah, yeah, I can take a hint. [takes Farnsworth's old can and gives him a new one]

Farnsworth

[takes a sip from his new can] Ah, the last proton should be decaying about now.

[The machine's indicator is ticking up from 1 × 1035 AD.]

Bye, last proton.

Farnsworth

And... [stands up] ...here we are; the end of the universe.

[The camera zooms out to reveal that there is literally nothing left. With the exception of the time machine, of course. Farnsworth sits back down.]

Well, now what? You guys wanna talk?

No thanks.

Can we at least know what you're doing down there?

Prof. Farnsworth

We're certainly not building anything sinster, if that's what you mean. Come on, Bender. Something sinister won't build itself.

Tonight, we have a new resident here in the hall of Hominids, generously donated by its discoverer, Hubert Farnsworth. Ladies and gentlemen, Homo farnsworth.

Prof. Farnsworth

Once again, science saves the day. The end.

And now, to discuss the scientific implications of this discovery, our new museum curator, Dr. Banjo!

[Farnsworth spits out his drink]

BDr Banjo

Thank you Professor Farnsworth, for your generous gift, which has, once and for all dis-proven evolution.

[Banjo pulls a cord and a painting of Homo farnsworth riding a dinosaur is revealed.] Behold! Homo farnsworth frolicking with dinosaurs at the moment of creation.

Prof. Farnsworth

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[in Farnsworth's body] Oh no! Can we switch back using four or more bodies?

Professor Farnsworth

[in Bender's body] I'm not sure. I'm afraid we need to use... MATH.

I wasted my youth porking out.

Farnsworth

Yes, I remember. [points to a picture of a fat Amy, captioned "2997 employee of the year".]

Would you please take that down? It's making me hungry.

AMrs. Astor

A Farnsworth, you say? Well, if I'm not mistaken, the Farnsworths have been in New New York for almost two hundred years.

Prof. Farnsworth

Yes, I have.

And I'm his uncle!

AMrs. Astor

How charmingly unconventional.

I can eat a hot dog underwater!

Prof. Farnsworth

Good news! All these pine trees are fighting global warming by producing oxygen. Happy now, Gore?

AGAl Gore's Head

Yeah. But I'd be happier if I had a set of lungs.

What's that loud, boring sound you'll hear when I stop talking?

Prof. Farnsworth

[gasps] It's an albino humping worm!

Why do they call it that?

[The ship begins to rock back and forth]

Prof. Farnsworth

Because it doesn't have any pigment.
