News flash.
A new flash has mysteriously appeared in the sky.
Reports indicate the intense glare is visible throughout the known universe.
And let me add that it is not helping my hangover!
[Morbo groaning, head pulsing]
[Linda laughs]
Even scientists have no idea what it is.
I know exactly what it is!
[grunts weakly]
[remote clatters]
It's been theorized, but never before observed.
[TV shatters]
A white hole!
So, no one knows what it does?
I know exactly what it does!
It's the precise opposite of a black hole.
Instead of sucking everything in, it blasts everything out.
Energy, matter, time-- the big three.
And no one knows why?
I know exactly why!
Oh. No, wait, I don't.
Well, I think it's because it wants attention.
Why would you think that?
[♪ ominous music playing]
Ha, ha! Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!
Huh... huh... huh...?
[Kirk] Ah...
[wings fluttering]
I think it means "attention."
Oh, right, right, right, right.
[white hole whooshing]
[The Great Inviter] Greetings, Universe Six.
[all gasping]
Six?
[The Great Inviter] We of the outer realms have opened this white hole...
Told ya!
[The Great Inviter] ...as a portal that you may join
the other 12 or so universes
in bearing witness to the greatest event that can be witnessed...
Somethin' about my ass? [giggles]
[The Great Inviter] ...the birth of a new universe.
[all] Whoa.
Congrats.
[The Great Inviter] You must choose a group
of your worthiest representatives.
If there are eight or less sentient beings in your universe,
you can all come.
Otherwise, figure something out.
[white hole whooshing]
My friends,
I can think of no finer crew to represent our universe.
But we'll need to persuade the President of Earth
in language he'll understand.
[♪ upbeat music playing]
Look, I'm touched and flattered by the size of this pile,
and I'd love to send you on this mission,
but there's a problem.
Gotcha.
-[grunting] -[coins jingling]
Um, no backsies,
but I'm afraid this is one of those rare problems
that can't be solved with bribery.
-Rosemary! -[Rosemary] [over intercom] Yeah?
Send in the Secretary of Space.
And, uh, cue his theme song.
[♪ fanciful whistling theme song playing]
Bubblegum Tate!
Farnsy, my man!
[hands smacking]
So, why can't I go?
You're just too dang old.
You take that back!
Why, if I weren't so old, I'd cider your apples.
It's simple physics, Prof.
You're right, it's so obvious!
The white hole is shooting chronitons in all directions.
Mm-hmm. It's the Larry Bird of holes.
The local time acceleration must be immense.
Anyone approaching it would age substantially.
Right on.
And as it is, you might drop dead
before the end of this sentence...
Was that a period or a comma?
Ellipses, dig?
We need some young blood for this mission,
comma...
so, we have selected these members
of the Sunnyside Middle School Model U.N. Team
to represent our universe.
Fine, upstanding youngsters.
Not a hippie or commie among them.
Gee whiz!
We'll try our very best to make everyone proud.
Ooh, I hate her so much!
That should have been me!
Now, your journey will be long.
But not as long as the long-lasting taste

Gee whiz.
By the ship's clock,
we had been traveling for 80 years
when it all went to hell.
The winds of time blew against us like a hurricane
and forced us back to Earth.
Our bodies withered and our lives wasted.
[Professor gleefully giggles]
We must have underestimated the chroniton flux.
Bender, give me somethin' to write on.
-[fast scribbling] -Ooh! [chuckles] Oh yeah.
A little to the left.
Huh, according to those assulations,
it is possible to reach the white hole.
Maybe, but it would take the most powerful rocket ever built,
and a crew in stone-cold storage
for 10 million years.
Make it so!
I'll be proud to lead the mission.
My life will have meaning after all.
-[coughing, choking] -[body thuds]
Aw.
I'll take her wallet to remember her by.
And thus,
I was named leader of the greatest adventure
in the history of the universe.
Sure. Uh, why not?

Why, it's the Planet Express ship, whose heroic crew
will serve as our emissaries
to the historic birth of a new universe.

Ooh, I've never been frozen in that before.
What's that, the litter box?
[Professor] It's an advanced 3D bio-printer.
It will create temporary copies of us
to deal with any routine maintenance or emergencies.
I doubt there'll be any emergencies.
-[flames whooshing] -[screaming] Emergency!
Ah, the carbonara is approaching absolute zero.
I'll put the champagne in to chill for our arrival.
