Dr. Ogden Wernstrom • Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: Professor Wernstrom, can you save my city?
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: Of course, but it'll cost you. First, I'll need tenure.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: Done.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: And a big research grant.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: You got it.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: Also, access to a lab, and five graduate students, at least three of them Chinese.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: All right, done. What's your plan?
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: What plan? I'm set for life. Au revoir, suckers!
- Leela: That rat! Do something!
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: I wish I could, but he's got tenure.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: But garbage is not something you just find lying in the streets of Manhattan.
- [after Professor Farnsworth has saved the city, upstaging his old nemesis Dr. Wernstrom]
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: I now present you with the Academy Prize, which was confiscated from Dr. Wernstrom after it became apparent that he was a jackass.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: I hope this is not another scientific hoax, like global warming or second-hand smoke.
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: A hundred years ago, he was my most promising student at Mars University. But then, after one fateful pop quiz...
- [flashback]
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: A-minus? No one gives Ogden Wernstrom an A-minus!
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: I'm sorry, but penmanship counts.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: I swear I'll have my revenge, even if it takes me a hundred years!
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [back to present] And here it is, slightly over 99 years later, and still no revenge. I'm essentially in the clear.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: And what will you be presenting this evening, professor?
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Let's just say it'll put you young whippersnappers in your place.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: I just hope it's not that lame death clock you presented last year.
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Uh... last year, you say?
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: That's right.
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Oh, my. Did it put you young whippersnappers in your place?
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: Hardly. We all laughed so hard our teeth fell out. Come along, Cinnamon.
- [Wernstrom leaves with his fish]
- Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Oh, dear. I'll have to invent something new in the next ten minutes. Perhaps some sort of death clock.
- Mayor C. Randall Poopenmayer: And, Fry, we owe you a tremendous debt as well. If not for your 20th century garbage-making skills, we'd all be buried under 20th century garbage.
- Professor Ogden Wernstrom: That's smell could be anything! A faulty stench coil, some cheese on the lens... who knows?
