- Good evening. - Hi!

Good evening.

- Enough! -

Now, let's get the latest from our entertainment reporter,

Jim Vaudevillewicz. Jim?

Thanks, doll.

- - I'm here at Madison Cube Garden,

where teen pop sensation Coco Charm

has just announced her new tour.

I don't much care for pop music myself,

but I'm told her catchy tunes will really gas your chickens.

Ooh!

Amy loves Coco Charm!

Oh, I must get her tickets for her birthday.

Good luck!

Last time, they sold out in one Coco-second.

The quantum unit of time.

It's hard to get her a meaningful gift.

Amy's family is so wealthy,

she can buy herself anything she wants.

how much I love her.

I've been saving up, and I'm going to get tickets

the instant they go on sale.

Here she comes! Pretend we're talking about something else.

Uh, uh... And that's how I cured

the disgusting venereal disease you all had,

- you sick perverts. -

I can catch 'em faster than you can cure 'em.

Sorry I'm late.

I ran outta gas, so I had to buy a new car dealership.

That's my little problem-solver.

Deliveries-es.

Open the pod bay doors, Kif.

They're delivering my new plus-sized captain's chair.

- -

Yes, that will fix it, sir.

What's that?! Are we under attack?

No time to answer. Return fire.

It's just a phone alert, sir.

Coco Charm's tickets just went on sale.

I've got to act fast!

- -

- -

Lay the deets on me. I'm all ear holes.

I am so excited to tell you how to get tickets

for my upcoming Revolution Tour!

All you gotta do is follow me on PinstaCram

scroll past the fine print,

and click on the link to the Charmy Fan Page.

Enter your phone number,

and they'll text you two six-digit authentication codes.

You guess the right one...

Ooh, they both look so good.

retype it in the lilac-scented box...

My people can't smell lilac!

before it expires in two seconds.

- - And you'll be number...

Like, 38 million.

in line for as many tickets as you want!

The maximum you can want is two.

- - Checking Ticketmistress...

There are still seats!

Oh, dear God,

those cost more than my annual salary.

Wait! I can afford these ones in the very back.

But they're so far away, she'll finish playing the song

before we hear it.

Ugh. I suppose it's better than nothing.

Just barely.

It's all the money I've got,

but it'll be worth it.

Plus $500 convenience fee?!

What the heck is a convenience fee?

No one knows. But it's huge,

and it springs on you out of nowhere.

Much like Zapp Brannigan.

- - At ease, Kif.

Dings-dongs, your chair's heres.

Kiffy! Do you like my new purse?

It's made of some fancy leather I've never even heard of.

What's a "minotaur"?

It's lovely, dear.

I figured I'd treat myself for my birthday.

It's quiet luxury.

Oh wait, I forgot to turn it on.

- -

Are you sad?

You know me too well, Newt.

I love Mommy so much, but I just can't afford to...

Can't afford...

Newt, exercise your gills until Daddy says the coast is clear.

- -

- -

Thanks, everybody.

I'm gonna go get a chair for my purse.

It's really heavy 'cause of the battery.

So, did you get those tickets?

Does a glorp shmorble in the woods?

I don't know. I sure do.

Amy's going to be so surprised

when she hears we're seeing Coco Charm!

Oh, Coco Charm is playing!

- - VIP seats... highest price...

convenience fees... and... smurchase!

Kif's gonna be so surprised

when he hears we're seeing Coco Charm!

That Bender one's from me, Bender.

- - I knew you'd like it.

It's one of those smart health-monitor rings.

Ooh-hoo, now open mine.

I'm so excited, I'm red-shifting!

Coco Charm tickets?

Back row?

Oh, Kiffy, this is the best present I've ever gotten.

Thank you.

- Mwah. - Oh!

- -

Aw!

Mine was better.

Oh, fuff. Who on Earth cares about this "Coco Charm"?

Everyone but you, basically.

She's the most popular musician in the world!

Don't underestimate her, Professor.

She's an astute businessteen with a degree in computer science.

And her music makes me feel all these feelings.

I don't even know why.

I know why. And many other things.

- - I've always thought it strange that

the propagation of acoustic waves through a gaseous medium

could elicit an emotional response.

I've always thought that too, I think.

feel bright and hopeful,

while a minor key feels sad and dreary?

Because one's sad and one's happy?

Yes, but why?

I... I don't know.

I didn't know you could ask that.

remind us of our parents' voices as heard in the womb.

to shake it like a salt shaker.

Make it a Polaroid picture. I'm on a low sodium diet.

even lowly cartoons,

to move and inspire viewers.

I understand now.

- -

But why? Why does it affect us so?

triggering signals in the neurons of the amygdala,

where sound and emotion are cognitively interpolated.

So expositional.

Thanks again for the tickets, Kiffy.

They're perfect. And so are you.

I'll see you tonight.

Man, I wish I'd gotten tickets for Leela.

It's also her birthday this year.

Here, take these extras.

Just tell her you bought them.

I bought tickets, Leela?

I know they're not the best seats, but, um...

No, they're fine!

They have giant screens next to the stage.

Look, you can see them through the binoculars.

- -

Wait, is that Fry and Leela down at sea level?

How could they afford VIP tickets?

Oh, it's probably just a Fry-and-Leela-shaped smudge
