INT. REFRIGERATOR - DAY

Fry peers inside the refrigerator and pulls out the only thing left; a box of baking soda. He sniffs it and tastes a spoonful. He gags. He gags again. He gags some more. He bends out of view and vomits. We hear Nibbler run over and eat the vomit.

INT. DINING ROOM

Everyone, except Farnsworth Prime, is seated at the table as Fry enters.

FRY
Well, I fed Nibbler, but we're out of people food.

Nibbler races in, foaming at the mouth, and smashes into a wall. He's out for the count.

AMY
What about the emergency rations the Professor keeps around in case of emergency?

FRY
Zoidberg's not here, remember?

AMY
Oh, right.

The electricity goes out.

HERMES
Sweet sheep's head of... Sheepshead! The generator's out of fuel.

LEELA
How is that possible? I thought it was solar powered.

EXT. PLANET EXPRESS - DAY

The generator powers down as the shadow of a giant dog head is cast over the solar panels. We pull back to see Larry reaching his hand out a window of the MomCorp battleship casting a dog head shadow with his hand. He also makes a hawk using both hands.

LARRY
Caw! Caw!

INT. DINING ROOM

Fry sees the shadow through the window.

FRY
Oh, great, we're totally surrounded, we've got nothing to eat or drink, no electricity, and now they have a giant bird. We're doomed.

Bender inhales.

BENDER
Doooooooooooooooooo-

Leela throws a brick at Bender to shut him up.

LEELA
This really Yoko's my Lennon. For the past few weeks, we've bent over backwards for the Professor and he has done nothing but yell at us and complain and turn us into wanted fugitives.

AMY
Yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that we have to stay here and take care of him, when Walt took over Earth, I would have gone to Mars and mooched off of my parents.

BENDER
We all could be mooching off of Amy's parents.

FRY
I hate taking care of old people. It's a thankless job, and they're smelly, and gross. And what has the Professor ever done for me?

HERMES
Other than feed and clothe you, afford you the opportunity to travel to the far reaches of space in his spaceship, and offer full time employment despite your gross inadequacies and lack of any qualifications or job related skills, for which I would have fired your ass long ago?

FRY
Yeah.

HERMES
Nothing, that's what.

ALL
Yeah!

FARNSWORTH PRIME (O.S.)
Is that really how you feel, Fry?

They're all surprised to see Farnsworth Prime in the doorway.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Is that really how you all feel? I'm nothing more to you than a boss? Someone to sponge off of until the well runs dry and then the only thing keeping you here is the potential guilt you might feel if something were to happen to me on your watch?

FRY
Well, don't you care about us? All you do is complain, but we stayed here, and now we're all going to starve to death or be arrested because of you, because you won't leave your home.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
No, we're all going to starve to death or be arrested because Mom's entitled bastard son thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants. And I'm not refusing to leave Earth because it's my home. I'm refusing to leave because it's our home. Because it's where I've lived most of my life and have my best memories with the people I care about... and also Leela.

LEELA
Huh?

FARNSWORTH PRIME
But if you all feel that the only thing us old people have left to offer you is our sacrifice, then there's only one thing left for me to do.

Farnsworth Prime stretches his robot arms out at his sides. Rockets from his feet ignite and send him flying up and crashing through the roof. The crew scatters to avoid falling debris.

EXT. PLANET EXPRESS – DAY

Farnsworth Prime lands on top of the roof. One of his arms hands transforms into a bullhorn. He addresses the battleships above.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
All right, you sausage farmer, I'm ready to negotiate.

A mini-wig platform carrying Walt and Larry detaches from the MomCorp ship. Zapp and Kif take a Scooty Puff Jr. down from the DOOP flagship. They all meet on the roof.

WALT
Negotiate? There won't be any negotiation, you crusty old crackpot. This is my planet. Mine, mine, mine! And I want you off of it. Now, now, now!

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Then you've left me with no choice but to do the last thing I ever thought I'd have to do.

Farnsworth Prime clears his throat.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
This is like that time I fell through that vortex in my lab and ended up in the Family Guy universe.

INT. FAMILY GUY LIVING ROOM

All the Griffins, with Zoidberg as Meg, are sitting around the living room. Farnsworth Prime is also there and everyone is wearing ridiculous oversized hats.

PETER GRIFFIN
Uh, what's with the hats?

FARNSWORTH PRIME
How the hell should I know? This is your bit.

Farnsworth Prime grabs Zoidberg.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
I'm taking this.

EXT. PLANET EXPRESS

Zoidberg is back, standing next to Farnsworth Prime on the roof.

ZOIDBERG
Hello.

Nearby, on the ground, a robot notices Zoidberg.

RANDOM ROBOT 1
Look! It's the lobster that killed Mom! It's Zoidberg! I found him!

A signal is sent out from the random robot's antenna.

EXT. EARTH – VARIOUS LOCATIONS

The signal reaches all the robots of Earth, including Killerbot 1 and Killerbot 5.

KILLERBOT 1
Kill Zoidberg!

KILLERBOT 5
Death to Zoidberg!

EXT. PLANET EXPRESS

Zapp and Kif look on in horror as hordes of angry robots converge on Planet Express. The police and DOOP soldiers try desperately to fight them off, but the hordes overwhelm them.

Farnsworth Prime launches a rocket at Walt and Larry's wig platform, destroying it and stranding them on the roof.

WALT
You crazy old man. Don't you know what you've done? Those robots will kill everyone to get to Zoidberg, including you!

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Yeah, probably.

KIF
(to Walt)
Can't you call them off? You built all the robots.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
No, MomCorp built all the robots, when Mom was CEO, and she had them programmed to respond only to her commands and never to her sons', because she didn't trust them. I know that because I worked for the old bag. Walt doesn't have any control over them at all.

Down on the ground, the robots pillage the streets and overwhelm the authorities like World War Z zombies. They climb each other to climb the building.

The rest of the crew climbs out onto the roof.

LEELA
Oh my god, they're everywhere!

HERMES
They're going to kill us all!

ZAPP
Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've faced impossible odds on the battlefield. All we have to do is stick together and...

Zapp's phone rings. He picks it up.

ZAPP
Hello? Yes. Uh-huh. Okay. Thank you.

Zapp hangs up.

ZAPP
Well, we're out of here. Good luck, chumps.

WALT
What? Where are you going? You have to protect me.

ZAPP
Sorry. That was the bank. All of our paychecks bounced. We don't need this crap if we're not getting paid. Hasta-la-vama moose, suckers.

Zapp and Kif ride away on the Scooty Puff Jr. All the DOOP soldiers are collected by the flagship and it flies off.

BENDER
You know, I've always dreamed about what it would be like to be part of the Robopocalypse, I just never imagined I'd be on the dead side of one.

The robots get closer and closer and closer... Everyone huddles behind Farnsworth Prime for protection. He blasts a few robots to bits. Killerbot 1 reaches the roof. They're surrounded.

KILLERBOT 1
I've been waiting a long time for this, Zoidberg.

Killerbot 1 and Killerbot 5 prepare to pounce when all of a sudden a great screech is heard from above. They all look up to see a giant bird flying down.

FRY
It's the giant war bird come to kill us all!

Leela smacks Fry in the head. As the bird reaches the roof, we see that it's actually mechanical and that Igner, Mom's other son, is riding on its back.

WALT
Igner?

Igner falls off and the mechanical bird transforms into Megatron – with Mom's head in a jar in the center! The robots halt their advance.

EVERYONE
Mom?!

LEELA
She's been alive this whole time?!

MOMATRON
Of course I'm alive, you blithering idiot. Thanks to Igner.

IGNER
The pink lobster man told me to put Mommy's head in a jar. I finally found one at a tag sale, but I had to throw away the old head.

Bender squints his eyes to see that Mom's jar reads "Huey Lewis" on the nameplate. He opens up his chest plate and pulls out his own Huey Lewis head.

BENDER
Oh, that's great. Someone out there's selling counterfeit Huey Lewis heads. So, who the hell is this?

HUEY LEWIS' HEAD
I'm Dennis Hayden.

BENDER
Who?

HUEY LEWIS' HEAD
I was in Die Hard.

BENDER
Ooooh, Die Hard.

Everyone "ooohs" and "aaahs", very impressed. Bender puts him back inside his chest cavity.

AMY
I'm confused. If you've been alive this whole time, why didn't you say something?

MOMATRON
Listen, my boy Igner may have saved my life, but I've Chan-slapped him upside the head so many times, his skull's about as soft as a grapefruit peel. By the time he got me stuffed in this jar right side up, Walt was already the world's leading pioneer in puppy poopy and peepee pampers. I was impressed. But then he had to go and screw it all up.

WALT
Screw it up? I took over the whole planet.

MOMATRON
But how did you do it?

HERMES
That's what I want to know.

Walt pulls out a black credit card.

WALT
With this!

MOMATRON
As soon as they thought I had croaked, the credit card companies were on his ass like stank on a Kristen Stewart. You have any idea what kind of credit limit they give to billionaires? You bought all of Earth's debt and you thought that bought you the planet, but it didn't. It just put you into even more debt, and then you went and fired everyone and kicked everyone off the planet. That's your workforce and consumer base, you moron.

She slaps him.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Real debt isn't something you can just pay off by putting it on another credit card. When you're in real debt, the only way it ever disappears is if you make sacrifices and pay it off, like I was willing to sacrifice my emergency rations, Zoidberg, in order to kick this jabroni's sorry ass all over New New York City.

LEELA
You knew this was going to happen?

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Of course, I did. Some punk kid thinks he can rule the world, I knew it was only a matter of time before his mouth wrote a check his ass couldn't cash... or, in this case, his pen and bank account. All I had to do was wait him out.

WALT
So, I don't own the world?

MOMATRON
I'll be taking back the company, of course, and after Nixon and his cronies re-possess the planet, all you'll really own is the debt. Like all great Presidents before him, that old windbag manages to stay afloat by diverting attention away from his horrible economic policy and onto a deadly conflict that has nothing to do with him.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
And also by passing an ever-growing debt onto today's youth.

Walt sulks. Mom bitch slaps him across the face.

MOMATRON
It's the Earthican way, dumbass! I am loving this new robotic slapping arm.

Momatron collects her boys and flies away to her ship.

Killerbot 1 and Killerbot 5 approach Zoidberg.

KILLERBOT 1
I guess, since Mom's still alive, we don't have to kill you and eat you. We cool, money?

Killerbot 1 holds up his fist. Zoidberg "pounds" it.

ZOIDBERG
Word, g-funk, we straight.

The robots withdraw.

KILLERBOT 5
Aw, he was sweet.

The crew approaches the Professor.

LEELA
Wow, Professor. Here we were whining and complaining about the heavy, tiresome, life-sucking burden of having to take care of you, and it was you who was taking care of us the whole time.

FRY
We're sorry.

AMY
Yeah.

HERMES
Really sorry.

FRY
Is there anything we can do to make it up to you?

Farnsworth Prime thinks a moment then notices Bender, who is off sulking in the corner. Farnsworth Prime walks over and stands next to him.

BENDER
It's always going to be like this, isn't it, Professor? The little guy is always going to get screwed by the big guy. The young are always going to be oblivious and believe only their lives are important. And the old are always going to be smarter than everyone else, but too decrepit to do anything about it.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
I should say so, yes.

BENDER
What does one cling to in a world that is so unfair?

Farnsworth Prime looks at his robot body.

FARNSWORTH PRIME
Well, we're robots. That's pretty damned cool.

Bender smiles.

BENDER
You're right. That is pretty damned cool.

They high five.

- The End.
