(At Krustyloo studios, studio #3)

Troy: We're back here with our two teams.

Zapp: It's time to finish eliminating off two more members to from each team.

Troy: Our next question is for Marge on Team Simpson.

(Troy walks over to Marge)

Troy: Now, here's your question, Marge.

Marge: I'm ready!

Troy: Who was the spokesperson for the popular drink Slurm?

Marge: What the...what are you talking about?

Troy: I don't understand it either, but that's all it says here...

Marge: I don't know...

Troy: Well, then you're off of Team Simpson.

(Marge walks away)

Zapp: Now we're on to Amy's question.

(Amy looks up from filing her nails)

Amy: Zuh?

(Zapp walks up to Amy)

Zapp: Who is the spokesperson for the popular beer, Duff Beer?

Amy: Eww, beer! I hate beer! And anyways, I've never heard of Duff!

Zapp: Neither have I...

Amy: Well, I don't know...

Zapp: Okay, you're off Team Planet Express.

(Amy walks away filing her nails)

Troy: It's time for Lisa's question.

(Troy walks over to Lisa)

Troy: In which year were Robots finally sold on the market?

Lisa: Robots aren't made yet!

Troy: Just answer the question, little girl.

Lisa: The year 2012?

Troy: I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer. You're off the team.

(Lisa walks away while mumbling)

Lisa: Stupid show... asking me questions about the future...impossible for me to know...

Zapp: Well, our next question is for... the lovely Leela!

(Zapp walks over to Leela)

Zapp: Leela, here's your question: Will you go out with me after the show?

Leela: No!

Zapp: I'm sorry, but the correct answer is "yes". You're off the team.

(Leela walks away while mumbling)

Leela: Stupid show... having Zapp as a host so he can ask me out...

Troy: Our remaining contestants are Homer representing Team Simpson, and Fry representing Team Planet Express.

Homer and Fry: Woo hoo!

Zapp: You will now go into a sudden-death match.

Homer: But I don't wanna die!

Troy: No, we don't mean you'll literally die, it's a figure of speech.

Zapp: Whoever gets more questions right wins the prize.

Troy: Homer, here's your question. If you get it wrong, Fry has a chance to win. Homer, what year did you an Marge get married?

Homer's brain: Well, I don't know the answer to this one.

Homer: So the answer must be aliens.

Troy: Umm... no...

Zapp: You can win now Fry, if you get the next question right.

Fry: Oh yeah! Go Fry!

Zapp: Your question is: How many eyes does the goddess of beauty, Leela, have?

Fry: Umm... I know I can get this one... hmm... is it three?

Zapp: You don't even know how many eyes you're captain has!

Fry: I guess not...

(After five minutes)

Troy: Are either of you even smart enough to get a question right?

Fry: Apparently not.

Zapp: Well, this show can't go on forever, we have schedules! I guess you both win then.

Homer and Fry: Woo hoo!

Homer: Whadda we win? Whadda we win?

Troy: Umm... nothing. Winning is everything, remember?

Fry: You mean we don't win anything?

Zapp: Nope.

Lisa: You mean we were humiliated for nothing?

Leela: You mean we wasted valuable delivery time to come to the 20th century for nothing?

Troy: Pretty much...

(Team Simpson and Team Planet Express look at each other)

Bart: Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?

Bender: You betcha!

(Everyone lunges at Troy and Zapp)
