Professor Frink
[comes running up holding a sign that says The Tomfoolery of Professor Frink] Uh, ah, uh, sorry I'm late. There was trouble at the lab with the running and the exploding and the crying. One of the monkeys stole the glasses off my head [end credits start] Uh, no wait, please no, please I have a funny story! I even wrote theme music! [sings] Professor Frink, Professor Frink. He'll make you laugh, he'll make you think. He likes to run and then the thing with the... um, person..... Oh boy, that monkey is going to pay.
[a slide shows the comet impact, showing Moe's bar in the center]
Fortunately, we have a plan. Professor Frink?
Frink
Mu-hi. Good evening, ladies and—
MMan
Quit stalling! What's the plan?!
Frink
Alright, just take your seat, just take your seat. [removes cloth, to a scale model of Springfield] Now, working with former Carter-administration officials and military men who were forced into early retirement—for various reasons which we won't go here, okay?—we have planned this defense for the city. [flips switch] As the comet hurdles toward the city, our rocket will intercept it, and blow it to smithereens. Ma-hyvin! [explodes. Flames land onto Moe's bar]
Homer, this is your physician, Dr. Julius Hibbert. Can you tell us what it's like in there?
Um, it's like, uh... did anyone see the movie Tron?
Frink
No.
Yes. I no. I mean, no. No.
[Frink draws a strange diagram on the wall]
Frink
Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology, n'gee, that Homer Simpson has stumbled into... [lights off] the third di-mension.
[switches the light on] Sorry.
Frink
[draws a square on the chalkboard] Here is an ordinary square.
Whoa, whoa! Slow down, egghead.
But suppose we extend the square beyond the two dimensions of our universe... along the hypothetical "Z" axis there.
Frink
This forms a three-dimensional object known as a cube, or a "Frinkahedron," in honor of its discoverer, n-gl'hey, n'hey.
[in echo voice] Help me! Are you helping me? Or are you going on and on?
Frink
Oh, right. And, of course, within we find the doomed individual.
Enough of your borax, Poindexter! A man's life is at stake. We need action!
[Wiggum takes out his gun and fires into the wall]
Take that, you lousy dimension!
Professor Frink
And these should give you the groundings you'll need in thermodynamics, hyperdmathematics, and of course, microbcalifragilistics.
Look I just want to know how to invent things, tell me.
Professor Frink
All you have to do is think of things that people need, but which don't exist yet.
You mean like an electric blanket-mobile?
Professor Frink
Well, possibly. Or you could take something that already exists and find a new use for it. Like...
Professor Frink
Well, I suppose that would qualify.
Prof. Frink
Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey. In episode BF12, you were battling barbarians while riding a winged Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear, you're clearly atop a winged Arabian. Please do explain it.
LLLucy Lawless
Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.
Frink
I see, all right, yes, but in episode AG4 —
Frink
[under breath] Aw, for glaven out loud.
Hey, what gives? He's not killing me!
Professor Frink
Ah-I'll tell you what gives, I'm afraid he is subject to Issac Asimov's Laws of Robotics, with the Sci-Fi, and the so many Books, not too many Good, my Robot is programmed never to harm Humans, you see, only to serve them.
Professor Farnsworth, I'm dying to know how you got here. Was it a time machine?
FProfessor Farnsworth
Little girl, time machines are physical impossibilities. We teleported from a singularity that I quantum-entangled to Bender under the guise of fixing his collar.
Professor Frink
Yes, but how did Bender get here?
FProfessor Farnsworth
With a time machine.
FProfessor Farnsworth
Sample's ready!
PPPower Plant Employee
Hey, Professor, I didn't know you worked here at the plant!
Professor Frink
I consult! Sometimes they listen, sometimes not. People have died... [whispering] You didn't hear that from me!
PPPower Plant Employee
So, who are you here with?
Professor Frink
Well, no one as yet. But I haven't turned on the old Frink charm! [to a woman] Hello there. vo-ivy. [she ignores him and enters the reactor core room, making Frank sad] Well, there's, uh... no mistaking that message.
Professor, what danger does this concussion threat truly pose?
Professor Frink
Uh... Well, Kent, these children will need their brains unbruised for the demanding, high-tech jobs of the future: polishing and buffing our robot masters.
Indeed. And here to defend youth football, we have Nelson's dad.
EMEddie Muntz
Are you wearing makeup?
Is it worth the risk to your son's health when only point 1% of youth football players make it to the pros?
EMEddie Muntz
You saying my boy doesn't have what it takes to play pro ball? Huh! Boy, show him your moves! Juke it, juke it!
