00:00Futurama is brought to you by Molten Boron.
00:16Nobody doesn't like Molten Boron.
00:30I hate the planet of the Moochers.
00:54They take you out for a drink, but when the check comes, their wallet's always in their
00:57other pants.
00:58Which they borrowed from me.
01:01Dinner ready?
01:02Those lousy Moochers cleaned out our pantry.
01:04All they left was bacon, soda, and capers.
01:07And here it is.
01:09Great.
01:10We're two days from Earth with no food.
01:13Problem solved.
01:14You two fight to the death and I'll cook the loser.
01:16Work is good.
01:17I like it tender.
01:18Maybe that planet over there has a drive-thru.
01:20A Burger Jerk or a Fishy Joe's or a Chisler or something.
01:23Don't get your hopes up.
01:24We're a billion miles from nowhere.
01:26Yeah, it's probably only got a Howard Johnson's.
01:30Well, it's a Type M planet, so it should at least have rotten berries.
01:37I'm experienced at foraging.
01:39I used to find edible mushrooms on my bath mat.
01:41I found some rocks.
01:42You guys eat rocks, right?
01:43No.
01:44Not even if they're sautéed in a little mud?
01:47Here's something.
01:48It looks like a ditch full of fried shrimp.
01:49What are you, blind?
01:50It looks more like a hole full of fried prawns.
01:53Hmm, this thing I wear on my wrist says they're not poisonous.
02:04Well, how are they?
02:10Oh, they're great.
02:13They're like sex, except I'm having them.
02:16You know what these would go great with?
02:18Rocks.
02:19Here's more.
02:20The planet's covered with them.
02:21Let's bring back a couple of pocketfuls.
02:23No, a whole benderful.
02:25No, only what we need.
02:26Stuff the ship.
02:34Planet Express ship, you are cleared to land.
02:36Brother!
02:37Oh, man, I'm inhaling these things.
02:45You guys got some primo stuff here.
02:49They're tastier than an unguarded penguin nest.
02:51What do you call them?
02:53We haven't thought of a name yet.
02:54Well, they're tasty, right?
02:55Let's call them tasticles.
02:57Oh, no.
02:58We can't call them that.
03:00Why not?
03:00It sounds too much like those frozen Rocky Mountain oysters on a stick.
03:04You know, test-sickles.
03:05According to government records, the only names not yet trademarked are Poplars and Zitzels.
03:11I know.
03:12We'll call them Poplars.
03:13Oh, why not?
03:14We sure picked it.
03:15Swish.
03:16Call them what you want.
03:18I call them a free meal.
03:20Oh, whoa, whoa.
03:22Slow down there, Sigmund.
03:23I can't stand idly by while poor people get free food.
03:26We gotta sell these things.
03:27Yeah.
03:28Good idea.
03:29Bender's a genius.
03:30Hey, business is great.
03:31Ah, great is okay.
03:32But amazing would be great.
03:33Please, don't push.
03:34There's hot dogs for everyone.
03:35Hey, Mac, where do you want those rat droppings you ordered?
03:37Wait a minute.
03:38You're not the guy who delivers the rat droppings.
03:39What are you selling?
03:40Poplars?
03:41Never heard of them.
03:42Eat it or beat it.
03:43Mmm, these are great.
03:44Boys, this is your lucky day.
03:45I'm Joe Gilman.
03:46Wow, you're some guy who eats at Fishy Joe's?
03:48Help me.
03:49They're two bad ones.
03:50Look.
03:51I'm too bad.
03:52I'm too bad.
03:53But they're all right.
03:54I mean, they're all right.
03:56You're all right.
03:57I don't know.
03:58I'm too bad.
03:59They're all right.
04:00I don't know what else.
04:01I'm too bad.
04:02I don't know everything.
04:03Hey, Mac, where do you want those rat droppings you ordered?
04:05A little bit.
04:06I can't stop!
04:07I can't stop.
04:08Wait a minute.
04:09You're not the guy who delivers the rat droppings.
04:11Bye.
04:12Fishy Joe's?
04:13Hell no!
04:14I am Fishy Joe.
04:15I've got a fast-food franchise on every planet in the known universe, except McPluto.
04:20Hey, Fishy, I've been meaning to write you about your in-store kiddie parks.
04:24The slides won't support an adult robot.
04:26Good point.
04:27Not interested.
04:28But these poplars, these are great.
04:29How much you sell them for?
04:30A dollar a dozen.
04:31You'll never make money that way.
04:33You supply them to me, and I'll sell them for two bucks a dozen at my restaurants.
04:37I'll even pay you a dollar a dozen.
04:39Yes!
04:40I'm gonna be rich!
04:41You too, but it's hard to get excited about that.
04:43How do we sign?
04:47Pop a poplar in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe's.
04:50What they're made of is a mystery.
04:51Where they come from, no one knows.
04:52You can pick them, you can lick them, you can chew them.
04:54You can stick them if you promise not to sue us.
04:56You can shove one up your nose.
05:04I can't pay.
05:06Here!
05:07Welcome back here!
05:08I'm a wolf down half!
05:21Lila!
05:22That's the second billboard you crashed into this week.
05:24Sorry.
05:25I was distracted by those protestors outside our building.
05:38Hey, unless this is a nude-loving, get the hell off my property.
05:43You can't own property, man.
05:46I can, but that's because I'm not a penniless hippie.
05:49What do you people want?
05:51We're with Mankind for Ethical Animal Treatment.
05:54Poplars are living creatures.
05:56You've got to stop harvesting them for food.
05:59Or what?
06:00Or we'll boycott Fishy Joes.
06:02You're vegetarians. Who cares what you do?
06:05Shut up.
06:06Animals eat other animals. It's nature.
06:09No, it isn't. We taught a lion to eat tofu.
06:15The point is, you shouldn't eat things that feel pain.
06:19Okay, we won't eat you.
06:21I'll go get some more bricks.
06:24Fry, I wish you'd throw out these weak old poplars.
06:27They're getting big and scaly.
06:29Ooh, there's one left.
06:31Mama.
06:32Mama.
06:38Stop. Stop eating poplars.
06:48My booze.
06:49Poplars are intelligent. This one called me Mama.
06:54Congratulations. I assume Amy is the father.
06:57Poplars can't talk. Leela must be hallucinating from not eating enough poplars. Here, eat some now.
07:03No.
07:03I said eat. Come on, mind you.
07:07Sorry, babies.
07:09Leela, maybe you should lie down.
07:10Yes, listen to the father.
07:12I'm telling you, it spoke to me. Come on, little poplar. Say Mama.
07:18Look, Leela, even if you heard one talk, that doesn't mean it's intelligent. I mean, parrots talk and we eat them, right?
07:24Yeah. Maybe you just learn to talk as a parlor trick. Like fry.
07:27Like fry. Like fry.
07:28There's one way, and only one way, to determine if an animal is intelligent. Dissect its brain.
07:36No, Mama. Stop Grandpa.
07:40Enough chit-chat. Restrain the specimen.
07:42Stop eating poplars. They can talk.
07:57Don't stop to talk. Eat poplars.
08:00Hey, cut it out.
08:01Take a coupon. Cut it out.
08:03Ow. Ow. Ow.
08:10People, I won't let you enter.
08:12Poplars are as intelligent as you or me.
08:15You, maybe.
08:21Hear me, hear me.
08:23Stop eating poplars.
08:25Stop eating them with honey mustard sauce.
08:27Stop eating them with tangy sweet and sour sauce.
08:30Stop eating the new Fiesta poplar salad.
08:33Stop taking advantage of the money-saving 12-pack.
08:40Stop enjoying poplars on the patio.
08:42In the car or on the boat.
08:44Wherever good times are had.
08:46Tonight, on date night, poplars, eating them.
08:57Is it all right to?
08:58We have with us the CEO of Fishy Joe's, Mr. Fishy Joseph Gilman.
09:03Noted anti-eating activist, Free Waterfall Jr.
09:06And the discoverer of poplars, Captain Taronga Leela.
09:09Taronga?
09:10That's her name, Phillip.
09:12Phillip?
09:12Fishy Joe, is it wrong to eat intelligent animals?
09:16Absolutely not, Linda.
09:17I don't think anyone's here to make that claim.
09:19I am.
09:20Me too.
09:21Listen.
09:21Shut up.
09:22We're talking about a snack that's low in fat and high in profit.
09:25You're crazy, man.
09:27He is crazy.
09:28There's not even any strong evidence that these poplars are intelligent.
09:31Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
09:31That's not true.
09:32I have one right here that can talk.
09:35Shut up.
09:35Come on.
09:36Say mama.
09:36Caca.
09:37Okay, we'll have to bleep that.
09:39Look, I'm not saying eating meat is wrong.
09:41Shut up.
09:41I don't think anyone's here to make that claim.
09:44I am.
09:44But eating an intelligent animal is different.
09:47Oh, don't force your tired philosophy on us.
09:51I mean, the only reason we don't eat people is because it tastes lousy.
09:54You're all nuts.
09:55Shut up.
09:56Let me talk.
09:57You shut up, please.
09:58No, you shut up, please.
09:59Pop.
