[ Hermes ] EXCITING NEWS, PEOPLE!

THE PET LICENSE I REQUISITIONED FOR NIBBLER HAS ARRIVED.

HERMES, THAT'S SWEET.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED ABOUT NIBBLER.

DREAM ON, WOMAN.

I'D LIKE TO PUT THE LITTLE BASTARD IN A SACK

AND TOSS THE SACK IN A RIVER AND HURL THE RIVER INTO SPACE

BUT I DO LIKE FILLING OUT REQUISITIONS

AND THESE WERE SOME DOOZIES.

GREAT JAH'S DREADLOCKS! THERE'S BEEN A MIX-UP.

THIS ISN'T A PET LICENSE, IT'S A FISHING LICENSE!

AND IT'S MANDATORY!

[ Farnsworth ] AH! THE EXACT CENTER OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

THIS SEEMS THE LOGICAL PLACE FOR FISH TO CONGREGATE.

SO, WE'RE IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS?

INDEED SO.

FALCON, THIS IS BLUE RAVEN. THE GOOSE HAS NESTED.

REPEAT, THE GOOSE HAS NESTED.

HEY, GUESS WHAT YOU'RE ACCESSORIES TO.

THE SUN, THE SEA AIR, GOOD FRIENDS...

LEELA'S RIGHT. FISHING BLOWS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE MAKE IT INTERESTING?

[ Acknowledging Comments ]

EVERYBODY KICK IN FIVE BUCKS.

THERE, WASN'T THAT INTERESTING?

- BENDER! - [ Chuckles ]

THIS CONTEST IS AS GOOD AS OVER.

I ONCE CAUGHT A FISH THIS BIG.

OH, YEAH?

I ONCE CAUGHT A FISH THIS BIG.

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE BOTH OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, BOYS

'CAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AT A WOMAN WHO OWNS HER OWN HARPOON.

HARPOON, MY ASS. [ Chuckles ]

OKAY. [ Yells ]

LET'S SEE NOW. WHICH BAIT TO USE...

CRICKETS, SQUID

CHICKEN NECKS? EXCUSE ME. IF I MIGHT BE SO BOLD,

I'M WILLING TO OFFER MY SERVICES AS A BAIT CRITIC.

THESE SARDINES, FOR EXAMPLE

ARE BLAND AND TASTELESS.

[ Gobbling Noisily ]

AND THESE DRY, STRINGY NIGHT CRAWLERS--

THOUGH JUICY... VERY, VERY JUICY...

[ Obnoxious Slurping ]

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! IT'S EATING MY BAIT!

BEAT IT, YOU MOOCHING CRAWDAD!

[ Imitating Curly ] WOO, WOO, WOO, WOO, WOO!

[ Sonar Beeping ]

HEY, FRY, CHECK OUT MY LASER-GUIDED FISHING ROD.

QUIET, BENDER, YOU'RE SCARING AWAY THE FISH.

FINE. I'LL HEAD OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.

[ Yelling ] GOOD LUCK FISHING ON THIS SIDE!

[ Casting Whir ]

[ Chuckling ]

I CAN HIT A FISH BETWEEN THE EYES FROM 20 YARDS.

OH, YEAH? I CAN HIT A SHRIMP.

A SHRIMP? [ Casting Whir ]

I FIND IT A BIT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT...

[ Fry Grunts ] AH, HA!

GATHER 'ROUND, CHUMPS.

I GOT THE WINNER!

OH...

OH, SO THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOP FOR YOUR BOOTS.

[ Bender ] COUPLE MORE OF THOSE

AND YOU'LL HAVE YOURSELF A FISH STICK.

[ Hearty Laughter ] HEY!

A FISH THIS FINE BELONGS IN A FISH-NUGGET-STYLE CHUNKLET.

ANYWAY, IT'S BIGGER THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE CAUGHT.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Casting Whir ]

[ Fry ] OW! MY SMALL INTESTINE!

[ Grunts ] [ Splash ]

BINGO!

WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S 20 TIMES HEAVIER THAN A BOOT.

OH! YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ANYTHING

WITH THAT PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY.

WHAT YOU NEED IS THIS FISH PHEROMONE--

THE MOST POTENT APHRODISIAC KNOWN TO FISHKIND.

[ Rattling ]

UH, OH.

[ Yelling ]

[ Sniffing ]

I'MINTO YOU.

[ Slurping ]

OH, MY!

[ Whirring ]

HEY, BENDER!

I JUST CAUGHT A FISH THIS BIG.

QUIT EXAGGERATING, FRY.

AW, SCREW THIS.

IF I'M NOT GOING TO CATCH A FISH

I MIGHT AS WELL NOT CATCH A BIG FISH.

[ Metal Creaking ]

THERE.

LIKE MOST OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS

THIS ONE CAN BE SOLVED WITH BENDING.

BENDER, BE CAREFUL!

THAT'S THE SHIP'S DIAMOND FILAMENT TETHER.

IT'S UNBREAKABLE.

THEN WHY DO I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL?

IT BELONGED TO MY GRANDMOTHER.

[ Grunts ]

[ Splash ]

MY MANWICH!

[ All Snoring ]

[ Squeaking ]

[ Splash ]

WAKE UP, EVERYONE!

I'VE GOT SOMETHING, AND THIS TIME IT'S ALIVE.

OH! DR. ZOIDBERG, SINCE WHEN DO YOU EVEN WEAR BOOTS?

I WASN'T WEARING IT.

I WAS EATING IT.

[ Groan And Splash ]

COME ON, LET'S GO HOME.

[ Screams ]

SUNBURN!

MY FABULOUS BODY!

IT'S RUINED!

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PARASOL?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT WASN'T HERE WHEN I TOOK YOUR UMBRELLA.

WHAT?!

I PUT SUNBLOCK ON YOU.

WELL, IT DIDN'T WORK.

[ Sinister Chuckle ]

[ Leela ] COME ON, BENDER.

PULL IN YOUR LINE, AND LET'S GO.

[ Metal Squeaking ]

[ Grunts ]

HEY, I'M SNAGGED.

IT'S NOT SNAGGED.

THE MECHANO-MAN HAS CAUGHT SOMETHING.

[ Grunting ]

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS! IT'S HUGE!

IT'S COMING UP!

[ Gasping And Yelling ]

WHOA, THAT'S BIG! A COLOSSAL MOUTH BASS!

[ Whirring Accelerating ]

IT'S DIVING!

[ Metal Groaning ]

IT'S PULLING US UNDER! EVERYONE, INTO THE SHIP!

WAIT, I'LL SAVE US...

BY CUTTING THE UNBREAKABLE DIAMOND FILAMENT.

[ Groaning ]

WELL, AT LEAST I'LL DIE WITH MY FRIENDS.

HELLO?

[ Clank ]

[ All Screaming ]

[ Hermes ] MY SPEEDOS!

[ Alarm Blaring ] DEPTH AT 45 HUNDRED FEET...

48 HUNDRED, 50 HUNDRED...

5,000 FEET.

DEAR LORD!

THAT'S OVER 150 ATMOSPHERES OF PRESSURE!

HOW MANY ATMOSPHERES CAN THE SHIP WITHSTAND?

WELL, IT'S A SPACESHIP

SO I'D SAY ANYWHERE BETWEEN ZERO AND ONE.

[ Metal Groaning ]

WHAT'S THAT? IS SOMEONE BENDING GIRDERS?

[ Creaking And Groaning ]

OY!

WE'LL BE CRUSHED IF WE DON'T EQUALIZE THE PRESSURE.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?

THAT SHOULD DO IT.

OH! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

WAIT, I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.

[ Loud Flush ]

[ Cheering ]

- YOU DID IT, FRY! - DID WHAT?

[ Explosive Thud ]

[ Yelling ]

[ Metal Groaning ]

PEOPLE, IT'S FAR, FAR WORSE

THAN WE THOUGHT.

MY FISH GOT AWAY.

[ Electrical Crackling ]

THERE! GOOD AS NEW.

EXCEPT THAT WE'RE THREE MILES BELOW THE SURFACE

WE DON'T HAVE ANY FOOD

AND THE SHIP WON'T WORK UNDERWATER.

TEMPERS ARE WEARING THIN.

LET'S JUST HOPE SOME ROBOT DOESN'T KILL EVERYBODY.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE DON'T PANIC.

THERE ARE RULES FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

NOW, THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS LUNCH.

I SUGGEST A NICE LOBSTER ZOIDBERG.

I MEAN, UH, LOBSTER NEWBURG.

I MEAN, DR. ZOIDBERG.

OKAY, EVERYONE. CALM DOWN.

THE PROFESSOR AND I WILL GET TO WORK ON THE SHIP.

BENDER, ZOIDBERG, SINCE YOU CAN SURVIVE UNDERWATER

YOU'LL GO OUT AND LOOK FOR FOOD.

I BETTER GO, TOO.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I LIKE.

FRY, NO! THE PRESSURE WILL CRUSH YOU

LIKE A GREEN SNAKE UNDER A SUGARCANE TRUCK!

NOT NECESSARILY.

THIS IS A CHANCE FOR FRY TO TEST OUT

MY EXPERIMENTAL ANTI-PRESSURE PILL.

I CAN'T SWALLOW THAT.

WELL, THEN, GOOD NEWS!

IT'S A SUPPOSITORY.

HOW ARE YOU DOING THERE, FRY?

[ Gurgling ]

GLAD TO HEAR IT.

AHA!

[ Grunts ]

[ Voice Vibrating ] AW, YEAH!

YUM, YUM, YUM.

UH-OH.

[ Imitating Three Stooges ]

LOOK AT ME.

I'M DR. ZOIDBERG-- HOMEOWNER.

CAREFUL, FRY.

I THINK THAT FLAG MIGHT BE POISONOUS.

AHOY, MATEYS!

I SHANGHAIED US SOME HEARTY GRUB.

[ Pops ]

[ Growls ]

THE LAWS OF SCIENCE BE A HARSH MISTRESS.

SAY, ROBOT, OLD BUDDY, COULD YOU HELP ME MOVE A COUCH?

AW, OKAY, BUT I'M NOT CARRYING IT UPSTAIRS.

[ Gasps ]

[ Giggling ]

[ Gurgling Incoherently ]

WHAT IS IT, FRY?

[ Still Gurgling ] ...ADE.

YOU WANT SOME LEMONADE? YOU SAW A BIG PARADE?

YOUR STUDENTS LOANS HAVE BEEN REPAID?

THEN HOW ABOUT LENDING YOUR OLD PAL ZOIDBERG

A FEW BUCKS, MR. MILLIONAIRE?

[ Fry Speaking Incoherently ]

FRY, SWALLOW YOUR FOOD, THEN TALK.

[ Gulps Noisily ]

A MERMAID!

YOU THINK YOU SAW A MERMAID?

NO. I DID SEE A MERMAID. SHE WAS WEARING A TUBE TOP.

AND SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL, SCALY TAIL

AND I THINK SHE HAD HAIR EXTENSIONS.

[ Disbelieving Comments ]

YOU'RE SIMPLY HALLUCINATING, YOU MORON.

WHAT'S SO FAR-FETCHED ABOUT MERMAIDS?

THERE'S ALL SORTS OF WEIRD SEA CREATURES

HERE IN THE FUTURE, LIKE DR. ZOIDBERG.

I'M AFRAID FRY IS SUFFERING FROM OCEAN MADNESS.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS TO ME

YOU SAY IT'S SOME KIND OF MADNESS OR I'M DRUNK

OR I ATE TOO MUCH CANDY.

WELL, I SAW A REAL MERMAID

AND I WISH JUST ONCE MY FRIENDS WOULD HAVE

THE DECENCY AND KINDNESS TO BELIEVE ME.

OCEAN MADNESS.

[ Slams ]

HE MAY HAVE OCEAN MADNESS

BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR OCEAN RUDENESS.

[ Snoring ]

"OCEAN MADNESS." YEAH, RIGHT.

YEAH, IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING, AIN'T IT?

[ Gasping ] IT'S HER!

BENDER, WAKE UP! SHE'S HERE! WAKE UP!

[ Snoring ]

[ Very Loud Snoring ]

[ Gulps ]

OXYGEN.

[ Bubbly Screaming ]

HERE YOU GO, DARLING. [ Gasping ]

HEY, I CAN BREATHE. AND TALK. JUST LIKE A FISH.

OH, YOU SPEAK FISH?

- [ High-pitched Gurgling ] - WHAT?

I'M SORRY, MY ACCENT'S ATROCIOUS.

HI. MY NAME'S UMBRIEL. I'M FRY.

SO, UH, AM I GOING TO DROWN?

'COURSE NOT. JUST STAY CALM,

AND LET THE GENTLE CURRENTS RELAX YOUR EVERY MUSCLE.

OH, YEAH!

DID IT JUST GET WARMER?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE REALLY REAL.

I LIKE YOUR TAIL.

OH, YOU'RE SWEET.

I LIKE THOSE WIGGLY DOODADS COMING OUT OF YOUR HIPS.

OH, THANKS.

THEY'RE CALLED PANTS.

THIS HERE'S A VOLCANIC VENT.

THE WATER COMES OUT AT OVER 4,000 DEGREES.

NO KIDDING?

AH.

DID IT JUST GET COLDER?

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT BIZARRE LANDY WORLD YOU COME FROM.

IS THERE WATER THERE, TOO?

SURE. SOMETIMES IT FALLS FROM THE SKY.

HMM. AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

[ Gasping ]

OH, MR. FRY, YOU DO GO ON.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE BEST ABOUT YOU, UMBRIEL?

YOU FIND ME FASCINATING

EVEN WHEN I'M NOT CLAIMING TO BE A JEWEL THIEF OR A LION TAMER.

LIONS? THERE ARE SEA LIONS ON THE LAND?

YUP. WE CALL THEM "LAND SEA LIONS."

I TAME THEM.

I'M ALMOST DONE RECONFIGURING

THE SHIP'S PROPULSION SYSTEM.

WE CAN LEAVE AS SOON AS THE PAPIER-MÂCHE IS DRY.

- WHERE'S FRY? - I DIDN'T KILL HIM. PROFESSOR?

NO, I'VE BEEN BUSY.

HE MUST HAVE GONE OUT LOOKING FOR THAT "MERMAID."

THE POOR, DEMENTED HONKY.

IT'S OCEAN MADNESS, ALL RIGHT.

SAILORS CALL IT "AQUA DEMENTIA," "THE DEEP DOWN CRAZIES,"

"THE WET WILLIES," "THE SCREAMING MOIST..."

WE'LL FORM A SEARCH PARTY.

NOW, WE'LL NEED OXYGEN.

I GOT IT COVERED.

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY

MY ASS CAN BE USED AS A FLOTATION DEVICE.

OH, THAT REMINDS ME.

YOU'VE ALL TAKEN YOUR PRESSURE PILLS, RIGHT?

YES. STOP ASKING.

[ Sniffing ]

I'VE GOT HIS SCENT.

OVER HERE WHERE THE WATER GETS WARMER.

[ Smacking Lips ]

THIS WAY.

[ All Gasping ]

[ All ] OOH!

BEND ME!

[ Speaking Chinese ] DUDE!

AN ANCIENT SUNKEN CITY!

COULD IT POSSIBLY BE? ARE THE OLD LEGENDS TRUE?

[ Awed Exclamations ] IT IS!

IT'S THE FABLED LOST CITY OF ATLANTA!

HOWDY, Y'ALL!

WELCOME TO ATLANTA.

FOLKS 'ROUND THESE PARTS CALL ME THE COLONEL.

[ Humming Banjo Music ]

HERE, HAVE SOME BREATHERS

COURTESY OF OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THIS IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND HUMILIATING.

NOW, IF THEY COULD PUT IT IN THE FORM OF A SUPPOSITORY...

Y'ALL ENJOY YOUR STAY.

TOURISM'S OUR MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME 'ROUND HERE

SO, UH, SEE THE SIGHTS, SPEND SOME MONEY...

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE.

[ Bender ] FRY!

OH, I JUST KNEW YOU WERE STILL ALIVE!

I OWE YOU TEN BUCKS, HERMES.

HEY, THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED.

IT'S TWO-FOR-ONE TUESDAY AT KRISPY KREME

PLUS, THERE'S MERMAIDS.

NICE OUT-OF-TOWN FOLKS

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY DAUGHTER, UMBRIEL.

UMBRIEL, THESE ARE SOME YANKEES.

SO, FRY

ATLANTA WAS AN AMERICAN CITY IN YOUR TIME?

I THINK IT WAS JUST AN AIRPORT.

THEY HAD A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD BUY NUTS.

NO! ANCIENT ATLANTA WAS MORE THAN JUST A DELTA HUB.

IT WAS A VIBRANT METROPOLIS-- THE EQUAL OF PARIS OR NEW YORK.

THAT'S RIGHT, HONEY. WHATEVER YOU SAY.

LOOK AT THESE FABULOUS RUINS--

TURNER FIELD, THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING PLANT

THE, UH... THE AIRPORT.

BUT, TELL US, HOW COULD A CITY

WITH SUCH A... FABULOUS AIRPORT

END UP UNDERWATER?

AH, NOW, THAT'S A STORY

THAT CAN ONLY RIGHTLY BE TOLD IN A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE VIDEO

NARRATED BY FOLK-ROCK TROUBADOUR, DONOVAN.

[ Beeps ]

Atlanta was a city, landlocked

hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

Yet, so desperate the city's desire for tourism

that they moved offshore, becoming an island

and an even bigger Delta hub, until the city overdeveloped

and it started to sink.

Knowing their fate, the quality people

ran away-- Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy

the guy who invented Coca-Cola, the Magician,

and the other so-called gods of our legends--

though gods they were...

and also, Jane Fonda was there.

The others chose to remain behind on their porches

with their rifles, and one day evolve into mermaids

and sing, and dance, and ring in the new...

[ All ] HAIL ATLANTA!

- [ Beeps ] - "THE MAGICIAN"?

WHOA-WHOA-WHOA! WOULDN'T IT TAKE MILLIONS OF YEARS

TO EVOLVE INTO MERMAIDS?

NORMALLY, YES.

BUT THE CAFFEINE REALLY SPED THINGS UP.

THAT STUFF'S WONDERFUL.

SO, WHEN UMBRIEL

FIRST BROUGHT HOME THIS CARPETBAGGER

I WAS AGIN' IT

BUT DAMN IF OL' LEGS HERE AIN'T GROWN ON ME!

AW, SHUCKS, COLONEL.

[ Spitting ]

[ Ding ]

WELL, IT'S ALL VERY NICE HERE

BUT WE SHOULD BE GOING.

I MISS ME WIFE AND ME OXYGEN.

YES, WE ALL MISS OUR LOVED ONES AND GASES.

COME ON, FRY. WAIT.

I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU.

[ All Gasping ]

BUT, FRY, WHAT ABOUT US?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR LIFE ON THE SURFACE?

YOU DON'T BELONG DOWN HERE.

SHE'S RIGHT.

I MEAN, SURE, THEY GOT THE BRAVES

BUT IT'S A THIRD-RATE SYMPHONY.

FRY, YOU HALF-MAD, HALF-INSANE MANIAC

BE REASONABLE.

DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT IF YOU STAY AT THIS DEPTH

YOUR BODY WILL PERMANENTLY ADAPT TO THE PRESSURE?

REALIZE IT? I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND IT.

IT MEANS YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE SURFACE.

I DON'T CARE. I'M STAYING.

I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I WANT RIGHT HERE.

I'M BORED! LET'S GO.

YOU KNOW, FRY

I'VE GOT A LITTLE PLACE JUST OUTSIDE TOWN.

YOU COULD COME VISIT, MAYBE?

SORRY, ZOIDBERG.

I'M TRYING TO JOIN THE COUNTRY CLUB.

[ Sobbing ] AH, FRY!

[ Blubbering ]

I'LL MISS YOU!

Y'ALL COME BACK, NOW, YOU HEAR?

LET'S GO, DAMN IT! LET'S GO!

WELL, I GUESS THIS IS GOOD-BYE FOR ME AS WELL.

WHATEVER. LATER.

BYE.

WHOA! MY HOME!

IT BURNED DOWN!

[ Crying ]

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

SO, THAT'S WHERE I LEFT MY CIGAR.

THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, UMBRIEL, THESE LAST 24 HOURS

HAVE BEEN THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

OH, FRY, I WANT YOU TO MAKE A MER-WOMAN OUT OF MER-ME.

MERCY! I DO BELIEVE I'M GETTIN' THE VAPORS.

[ Both Moaning ]

[ Umbriel ] WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

YEAH, I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED, TOO.

HOW DO I... YOU KNOW, WITH THE TAIL, AND ALL?

I'M NOT YOUR FIRST, AM I?

I MEAN, I LAY MY EGGS, THEN I LEAVE

AND YOU RELEASE YOUR FERTILIZER.

[ Gasping ]

[ Panting ]

WHY COULDN'T SHE BE THE OTHER KIND OF MERMAID

WITH THE FISH PART ON TOP, AND THE LADY PART ON THE BOTTOM?

NOW, WHO'S GOING TO ESCORT ME TO THE DEBUTANTE BALL?

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THAT RICH, YOUNG DUGONG FROM MACON?

THERE. THE ENGINE MODIFICATIONS ARE COMPLETE.

PREPARE FOR LAUNCH.

[ Engines Roaring ]

WAIT! WAIT FOR ME! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!

[ Gasping ]

[ Grunting ]

AH!

[ Screaming ]

[ Man ] AND, SO

IN HONOR OF HIS RECORD-BREAKING CATCH

I'M PROUD TO AWARD BENDER THIS CHECK FOR $1,000.

[ Crowd Cheering ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Gasping ]

IT'S YOU! HEY, BUDDY!

MY MANWICH!

FRY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT ABOUT UMBRIEL?

WELL, IT TURNS OUT I LOVED HER, BUT I WASN'T "IN LOVE" WITH HER.

TROUBLE IN BED.

AH, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK, BUDDY.

WAIT, UH...

THIS IS NO RECORD.

GIVE ME BACK THAT CHECK.

I'M GIVING IT TO SOME GIANT ORPHANS.

OW! BENDER, YOU'RE HURTING ME!

OW! [ Choking ]

HEY! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP IN HERE.

[ Donovan ] HAIL ATLANTA.
