FRY and LEELA are gazing out the window at the incredible

What do you think of the view, Fry?

~~ It really puts things in perspective. I
mean, from up here an entire world can
seem utterly insignificant.
He indicates a planet ahead of them. The planet grows
slightly larger as they approach, then SPLA'l"l'BRS on the

EXT. NEW NZW YOU C:C'l'Y - .PJ"'l'DN00N SCENE l.

From the New New York skyline juts an enormous cube-shaped

building. A sign reads "MADISON CUBE GARDEN".
EXT. MADISON COBB GAJtI>EH - CON'l':tNOOOS
FRY, BENDER, LEELA, THE PROFESSOR, and DR. ZO!DBERG walk into
the arena under a billboard that reads "Blernsball Today: NEW
NEW YORK YANKEES vs. MARS GREENSKINS". (Leela wears a
"Yankees" cap with a slightly complicated "N-N-Y" logo.)
~N'l'. MADISON Ct3'BB GAJU)BN - CON'l'DroOOS

The group takes field-level ·seats just ·past the right-field

dugout. Zoidberg wears a big foam claw over his hand that
reads "NNY #1". They look out on what appears to be a
standard baseball diamond. The Yankees are on the field.
BENDER
Hey, nice seats. We're close enough
that when you knock a player down with a
beer bottle, he stays down.
FRY

I don't get this. Is Blernsball exactly

the same as baseball?
PROFESSOR
Baseball? God forbid.
LEELA
Baseball doesn"t exist anymore, Fry.
After Cal Ripken's streak ended in-2210,
the few remaining fans drifted off and
eventually died.
 lACVOS REVISED UCORD ?>RAl"'l' 8/26/98

DR. ZOIDBERG
And then came the strike decade.
PROFESSOR
Let's face it -- baseball was boring as
all get-out. That's why they jazzed it
up, just like they did with democracy.
FRY
Boring? Baseball wasn"t-- (THINKS) Hmm.
So they finally jazzed it up.
ANGLE ON '1'HZ !'IBU>
The.pitcher hurls a bright orange baseball toward the batter.
The ball is on a long elastic tether, which is attached to
the pitcher"s mound. The b a t t e r ~ the ball, sending it
deep into right field with a rising SPRODG sound.

ANGLB 0N'l'Dl'ZBL%>

As the ball goes over the fence, it stretches to the end of

its tether. Then it snaps back into the park with a falling
SPROING sound. The outfielder grabs it and rides it back
through the air toward the infield. He tags the batter out
between first and second.
ANGLE ON PRY AND t,EEI,i\

Leela marks a complicated symbol in her scorecard.

that sproingy thing?

Another batter steps up to the plate. In the stands behind
him, we see a bizarre-looking alien in a rainbow wig holding
a sign that reads "GLORX 3:16". The batter hits a grounder
to the third baseman, who fields it, then goes flying toward
first base. He overshoots, drops the ball, and goes sailing
into the stands. Bender leaps to his feet, puts on a mitt,
and catches the third baseman with one hand.
BENDER
Got me a souvenir!
.
He turns to accept C'HEEPS from the crowd, waving the fielder
proudly with· one hand·. He looks down to see a sad little kid
with pleading eyes. Bender reacts sympathetically.

Black clouds hang over skeletal domes, identical towers stand
