ALL: Whoa...

- It's a box fit for a king, it is.
- As it should be.

We are delivering it to
the King of Space himself.

A real-life king?
This could be my big chance to grovel!

[energetic music playing]

[royal fanfare plays]

[dolly squeaking]
BENDER: Ooh. Swanky dump.

Your delivery, my liege.

[kissing]

Now, this guy knows how to grovel.

- Yes!
- At last.

The portrait of
my late wife has arrived.

Careful! It's delicate!

[loud grunting]

Infinita, Queen of Space.

Not even the finest macaroni artist
could capture your beauty.

Although this one did.
Hang it over there!

[Fry groaning excessively]

Sorry.
It's my early-onset sciatica.

[horn blowing]

Announcing His Royal Highness,
the Prince of Space!

Allow me to help your elderly friend.

[romantic music playing]

[tusks sparkling]

[thud]
Wow. This absolute stud

sure made me look like a wimp,
huh, Leela?

You guys straighten that together
while I explain

our loyalty punch card program
to His Majesty.

♪

I still don't understand.

- Ten punches, and I get % off?
- No, no. It's nothing like that.

Let N be the number of punches.

[romantic music resumes]

Leela, where were you?
It's been, like, minutes.

I was falling in love
with the Prince of Space.

We're getting married!

[dramatic sting]

[squeaking]

I know this is very sudden, Fry.

I'll always remember the times we had

- that I haven't already forgotten.
- But, but, I love you!

And I can't afford to live without you!

- Are you okay, Fry?
- Eh. I'm just a little run down.

Run down?
I'm sure it's nothing,

Run down?
I'm sure it's nothing,

Oh, me! Right.
Let's take a listen.

Dear God, no!

[dramatic sting]

Pretend you didn't hear that.

Are you sure, Dr. Zoidberg?

- I mean, you're usually wrong.
- Of course, I'm sure.

Fry's mainspring is nearly wound down.

[all gasp]
[spring boings]

Oh, dear.
It must have been all that time

Fry spent cryogenically frozen.

[mysterious]

For a thousand years, he was
slowly pacing and winding down.

[sniffling] I'm so sorry, Fry.

- We'll take it day-by-day.
- I'd suggest minute-by-minute.

[sniffs] Well, don't be sad.
I've had a full life.

I eated. I prayed.

I loved-ed.

- I'm at peace.
- At peace? At peace?!

You selfish jerk!
You're my best friend!

Promise you won't leave me!

- I can't help winding down.
- That's crazy talk!

You need spiritual guidance!

[pipe organ playing]

You gotta help him, Reverend.

Do you have any way to calm
my friend's terror of mortality?

Can religion calm
the terror of mortality?

That's our home run swing!

After you wind down, you rise up!

You spread your wings
and fly around Heaven forever,

- as an angel.
- [sniffles] Really?

A-And we can do loop-de-loops?

- Well, no, not...
- Loop-de-loops, you say? Huh.

- Well, maybe Fry can face death after all.
- Bender, my son.

Heaven's not a actual place
the way Hell is.

It's a metaphor for
how the soul lives on

- in the hearts of those who love us.
- Metaphor?

Isn't that just a fancy
word for "steaming load"?

I wouldn't call it fancy.

[sobs]
Ah, Preacherbot gave me nothing!

- Can no one help me?
- Well, some say there's a guru high in the...

Some say it? Let's go!

You saved him, Bender!
You're a hero!

Shut up, baby, I know it.

Wound up tight and full of

Goodbye, sweet jerks.

Bender! No!

[gurgling, hissing]

Now, that's dead.

[somber music playing]

[gurgling]

Bender saved my life,
and now he's gone.

- What does it all mean?
- It means life is meaningless.

Lesson learned!
Let's hit the road.

No! I need answers!
I'm continuing up to that guru,

no matter how long the journey...
Ow!

- Are you the guru of the mountain?
- For a quarter, I'm a guru.

For a nickel, you get a sticker that says
you climbed the mountain.

My friend wound down
and fell in a volcano.

Is that the end? Just nothingness?

I found a quarter.

[winding]

[clicking]

Take solace, for the spirit
of your friend is eternal.

It will be reincarnated in other bodies,

growing and learning as it goes...

- Some say.
- Reincarnation?

That sounds like another
big, steaming load.

Load?
Perhaps.

Steaming?
Perhaps not.

I'm back, baby!
And I'm doing loop-de-loops!

Woo!

Woo!

the soul really is eternal.

No. No one is
