Futurama: Brannigan Begin Again

The crew is to deliver a pair of scissors to DOOP's new headquarters in the Neutral Zone for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Zapp, who is supposed to cut the ribbon, attempts to do it from afar with his ship's laser and accidentally blows up the headquarters. As punishment, Zapp and Kif are dismissed from DOOP. They take to the streets and eventually end up on the doorstep of Planet Express. The Professor gives them their first assignment, a delivery to the high-gravity planet of Stumbos 4. Angry with Leela's constant orders, Zapp convinces Fry and Bender to stage a coup that places himself as the captain. Unfortunately, they soon find out how inept Zapp is, though it may be too late.

Episode Quotes

Leela: What are we delivering?
Professor: Something without which no ribbon-cutting ceremony could proceed, the ceremonial over-sized scissors.
Leela: We'll get them there as quickly as we can.
Professor: All right, but don't run with them.

Glab: I can think of no better place for this center of diplomacy than here in orbit around the Neutral Planet. What are your thoughts on this momentous occasion, Your Neutralness?
Neutral President: I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

Zapp: How do I know these scissors aren't part of some Neutral plot?
Leela: But they're not even sharp. Who could I possibly hurt with them?
Zapp: The yarn people of Nylar 4? So, a plan to assassinate a weird-looking alien with scissors. How very Neutral of you.
Leela: What?
Zapp: It was almost the perfect crime, but you forgot one thing: Rock crushes scissors. But paper covers rock. And scissors cuts paper! Kif, we have a conundrum. Search them for paper, and bring me a rock.

Leela: What do you want?
Zapp: Just let me work for a little food. Perhaps I could paint a fence, or service you sexually, or mop the floors.
Leela: You don't know how to do any of those things!
Zapp: Kif might.

Leela: OK, crew, listen up. Your job is to deliver these forty pillows to that hotel.
Bender: They're not very heavy, but you don't hear me not complaining.
Leela: They're not heavy in here because we have an anti-grav pump. But once you get out on the surface, the gravity will be very intense.
Fry: Hey, no prob. This lead apron'll protect me.

Zapp: This is Zapp Brannigan of the good ship Planet Express Ship. I come swinging the olive branch of peace.
Neutral: Should we trust him, Your Neutralness?
Neutral President: All I know is my gut says maybe.

Leela: We're gonna crash!
Bender: Leela, save me! And yourself, I guess! And my banjo! (Fry smiles hopefully) And Fry!

Leela: Hurry! I don't wanna die at the age of 25!
Bender: Honey, unless we hit a time warp, I wouldn't worry about it.
