FUTURAMA CUTS - SEASON 1

12: WHEN ALIENS ATTACK

THE ONE WHERE After Fry causes an episode of Ally McBeal parody Single Female Lawyer to go off the air in 1999, aliens invade Earth in 3000 and demand to see the rest of the show. But with no tapes remaining, it's up to PX to act it out as closely as Fry can remember it, and save the world!

DEFINITE CUTS   POSSIBLE CUTS
--------------------
President McNeal has just introduced Zap Brannigan, who'll head Earth's defence mission against the aliens, to the Congress building
(we see PX watching this on TV, but Fry still applauds Brannigan and Leela groans)
BENDER       Hey Leela,
it's that idiotic windbag you slept with.
LEELA          The Earth is under attack. Can't we just forget about that?
BENDER       Evidently not...
[Thanks to Teral of Peelified Futurama]
-------------------
Bender’s patriotism unit kicks in:
BENDER       Sir!  I volunteer for a suicide mission! (to himself)  Aw ... cut it out!
BRANNIGAN  You're a brave robot, son, but when I'm in command every mission's a suicide mission. Which reminds me ... (to Leela) Leela, perhaps before we head into battle you'd like to make love to me in case one of us doesn't come back.
LEELA            Maybe we should wait until afterwards in case neither of us comes back.
BRANNIGAN  Here's hoping.

-------------------
The Aliens are talking to Brannigan outside the White House
ALIEN QUEEN            No! McNeal! The single female lawyer!
ALIEN KING (LEUR)   She wears mini-skirts
and is promiscuous!
BRANNIGAN               Really...?

Dr. Zoidberg is dressed in a blue suit at the prosecutors' table.  He says "gracias" and approaches the bench:
ZOIDBERG     Single Female Lawyer, where were you on the night of August 23?
LEELA            Sleeping with you.
ZOIDBERG    [menacingly]  Aha!
Zoidberg whips out his claw and points it at Leela's face, but gets the tip caught on Leela's fake eyeball.  It comes off, still caught on his claw, and he sniffs it and eats it.

LEELA [nervous]   Uh, get ... getting back to the matter ...  Uh, if it please the court ...
