                          Four score and 1145 years ago our forefather's 
                         foreheads conceived a new nation.

                          And this Presidents' Day we honoureth 
                         those values that my body fought and 
                         died for.
 
               
               [Behind the heads the curtain opens and reveals a car showroom. 
               The salesman, a robot called Malfunctioning Eddie, points to 
               a car.]
 
               
                                     MALFUNCTIONING EDDIE
                          Values like this brand new Plymouth 
                         V'Ger! Hi, I'm Malfunctioning Eddie 
                         and I'm malfunctioning so badly I'm 
                         practically giving these cars away!
 
                         
               
                                     AMY
                         Hey, let's go car shopping! My parents 
                         promised if I got all B's they'd buy 
                         me a bar. And I got all C's!
 
               
                                     BENDER
                         Mind if I tag along? I gotta bring my 
                         ass in for servicing.  The recall notice 
                         says it could burst into flames in a 
                         low-speed collision.

                         No wonder you've been staying at the 
                         back of conga lines lately.
 
               
                                     LEELA
                         I'll get my coat. Let's go, Bender.
 
                         
               
               [She taps his ass with a rolled-up newspaper and it bursts into 
               flames. Amy, Fry and Leela recoil in horror.]
 
               
               [Malfunctioning Eddie's Showroom. A man with an accent introduces 
               himself to Amy.]
 
               
                                     VICTOR
                         Hello, I am Victor and I know many things 
                         about the art of unloading fine cars 
                         on beautiful women.
 
               
               [He kisses her hand.]

               
                                     LEELA
                         Uh-huh. Now tell us she's witty and 
                         sophisticated.
 
               
                                     VICTOR
                         Ah-ah-ah! A gentleman always sells a 
                         lady a car first.  This is the Beta 
                         Romeo. Yes, the Beta Romeo. Note the 
                         cross-your-heart seat belt which protects, 
                         lifts and separates.
 
               
               [At the coffee machine Fry pours himself a cup. A salesman puts 
               his hand on his shoulder.]
 
               
                                     SALESMAN
                         Spotted her the minute you walked in, 
                         didn't you, sir? She's a real beauty.
 
                         
               
                                     FRY
                         Yup, she's beautiful coffee alright.
 
                         
               
                                     SALESMAN
                         No, the Ford Thundercougarfalconbird! 
                          Nothing makes you feel more like a 
                         man than a Thundercougarfalconbird. 
                         So how much were you thinking of spending 
                         on this Thundercougarfalconbird?
 
               
                                     FRY
                         Sorry, I'm not here to buy.

               
                                     SALESMAN
                         I understand and it's wonderful you 
                         don't care whether anyone questions 
                         your sexual orientation.
 
               
                                     FRY
                         I care! I care plenty! I just don't 
                         know how to make them stop!
 
               
                                     SALESMAN
                         One word: Thundercougarfalconbird!
 
                         
               
               [Amy and Victor are now sat in the Beta Romeo.]

                         The luxurious seats are stuffed with 
                         eagle down and the dashboard inlaid 
                         with the beaks of a thousand eagles. 
                         Also, there are some eagles under the 
                         floorboards.
 
               
                                     AMY
                         That's an awful lot of eagle.

               
                                     VICTOR
                         Yes, and yet--

               
               [He sighs.]

               
                                     AMY
                         What's wrong?

               
                                     VICTOR
                         It is just, the luxury edition has so 
                         much more eagle. It saddens me to think 
                         of you missing out.
 
               
                                     AMY
                         Oh, don't be sad. My parents are paying 
                         and they're incredibly rich.
 
               
               [Victor raises his right eyebrow and pushes it down again with 
               his finger.]

               and a mechanic drills into his back, causing him pain. The mechanic 
               lowers him to the ground and he gets up.]

                         I installed shock-absorbing bumpers 
                         to reduce the risk of catastrophic butt 
                         failure.
 
               
               [Bender turns around and gasps at what he sees grafted to his 
               butt.]
 
               
                                     BENDER
                         You, sir, have defaced a national treasure! 
                         I demand you restore my buttocks to 
                         their former glory.
 
               
               [He gets back onto the platform.]

                         Alright. But sooner or later that ass 
                         is gonna blow. And when it does, I just 
                         pray you're not moonin' someone you 
                         care about.
 
               
               [Malfunctioning Eddie's Showroom. Amy and Leela look under the

                         Smeesh, Leela! This car has everything 
                         a beautiful woman like me needs. Victor 
                         said so.

                         only go as high as say--

                         price.
 
               
                                     AMY

                         Day off. But I was in no mood for any

                         to Europa? We could have a picnic and

                         rose, I guarantee she'll put out!

                         to Nutley. I'd kiss you goodnight but

                         a whack at ya but that 10:15 to Nutley

                         simple.

                         Oh, no, that's not true. You see, modern 
                         banking regulations are a product of 
                         five different regulatory traditions. 
                         Six if you wanna get technical.
