Futurama: A Flight to Remember
This year's company vacation will take place on the maiden voyage of the
Titanic, captained by Zapp Brannigan. To avoid his unwanted seduction, Leela lies of an engagement to Fry. Zapp isn't the only one being misled about romantic involvements. Amy's parents are also aboard the ship, and she's pressured into telling them she has a new boyfriend, Fry. Amidst all the love lies, Bender woos a beautiful robot, the Countess de la Roca. Meanwhile, Zapp's arbitrary decision to deviate from the planned course of travel might cause history to repeat itself as the
Titanic hits some obstacles along the way.

iZac: Hey, you gonna pay for those?
Bender: Hell no.
(as the ship approaches the black hole)
Zapp: Nothing remains now but for the captain to go down with the ship.
Kif: Why, that's surprisingly noble of you, sir.
