[Hermes and LaBarbara provide backup on kalimba and drum respectively.]

KBKwanzaa-bot

The seven basic principles that go to make up Kwanzaa!

So sit yo' asses down and have some knowledge dropped upons ya!

Kujichagulia...

BSBarbados Slim and Bubblegum Tate

And umoja...

And the rest.

Now we get it!

KBKwanzaa-bot

Sit back down! There's gonna be a test.

My favorite's ujamaa.

BTBubblegum Tate

Cooperative economics.

KBKwanzaa-bot

[to Dwight] Yo, boondocks, I'm talkin' here! Put away the comics!

Ku'umba is another one, it stands for creativity.

BSBarbados Slim

Like the ever-changing nature of my sexual proclivities. [starts coming on to Zoidberg]

KBKwanzaa-bot

I think there's one called "nia," but I don't speak Swahili,

Sumthin' 'bout a pine tree and a oil-wrestlin' dealy?

Prof. Farnsworth

That's from Xmas and Robanukah, you plagiarizing lout!

KBKwanzaa-bot

Yeah, I'm kinda losin' interest here. I'd best be rollin' out.

But before I go, the most important thing...

What's that, Black Santa?

KBKwanzaa-bot

You need seven Kwanzaa candles that you light up every night.

But they best be made of beeswax or y'all might as well be white.

[writing on notepads] They must be made of beeswax or we might as well be white.

Well, it was a lot of hard work, but it beats posing in skimpy, demeaning outfits.

Prof. Farnsworth

Here are your skimpy, demeaning stewardress uniforms.

Prof. Farnsworth

Oh, God. We've opened Pandora's fly. They'll reproduce without limit, consuming all the matter in the world!

Like the Kardashians!

Prof. Farnsworth

Bad news, everyone! Look at this infinite series representing the mass of successive generations of Benders.

[A hologram of equation appear, everyone gasps in horror except Fry]

Don't wait for me.

Prof. Farnsworth

It's nonconvergent!

[alarmed] Oh, dip!

Zoidberg was popular?!

Zoidberg had hair?!

Prof. Farnsworth

I never said he had hair! If you imagined it that way, that's your business!

Farnsworth

You're not my breakfast friends! What are you doing here?!

Leela's blackmailing us into eating healthy, organic food.

Farnsworth

Blackmail? What does she have on you?

As long as we eat her filthy scrambled eggs, you'll never find out.

I'd be remiss if I didn't rub your goopy noses in the fact that I'm immune. [starts laughing]

Farnsworth

Which is why we'll all be counting on you, and you alone, to nurse us through this catastrophe.

Why, God? Why have I been singled out?!

Everyone just calm down and make yourself a tissue walrus.

[while examining a log under a super microscope]

Prof. Farnsworth

Oh my, there's a frog on a bump on this log that I found in a hole at the bottom of the sea.

And that's the ultimate secret of the universe?

Prof. Farnsworth

Apparently so. Wait! There's a snail on the tail of the frog on the bump on this log that I found in a hole on the bottom of the sea. The snail itself is composed of cells, molecules, atoms...

Pfff! Those things don't rhyme!

Prof. Farnsworth

Things only rhyme below ten to the minus five angstroms, you dope!

What is that box, you old witch?

Prof. Farnsworth

Ha ha ha ha! I'll never tell you! It's a deep space emotion detector.

[all gasp]

Prof. Farnsworth

The detector detects that you are impressed.

Farnsworth

All attempts to communicate with the aliens have failed. I fear our only option is thrilling space battle.

BFBender/Fry

Power Friends Go!

Prof. Farnsworth

Of course! Having no mouths or ears they can only communicate through motions!

Or perhaps by odors.

That is how you communicate.

ALAmy/Leela/Fry/Bender/Hermes

Hahahahahahaha!

Prof. Farnsworth

Zoidberg, you are the greatest hero. You saved us all.

For now. But another threat from the stars is sure to arise [mouth stops moving] next week at the same time!

That's it, Fry! For a guy who's not too bright, you're too damn bright!

Farnsworth

Now get out!!! And don't come back until someone finds a use for a million watt idiot!!

[Fry sulks out of the room, melting the door on the way out. Exterior of a trailer park, night. There is a sign that says "Basura Blanca TRAILER FOR ESTATES" on it. Interior of the trailer where Bev lives in. Ben is tucked in bed while Bev bids him goodnight]

Mom, will I ever get to see Dad again?

BBev

No, he died yesterday. Rust monsters ate his face. Sweet dreams.

[She bashes the light switch off and leaves. Ben whimpers. Suddenly, a familiar shadow falls on his blanket and he hears a tapping on the window]

[whispering] Psst, quit whimpering or ya don't get kidnapped!

Dad!
