[Scene: Morbo is seated on a chair against a blue curtain backdrop, holding a pair of glasses. On his table is a microphone and a set of cards.]

Morbo: We have a crowded field of candidates, so I will dispense with the informal terrorizing and begin the questions.

[He puts on the glasses and holds up a card.]
[Cut to: An audience. Leela is sitting amongst them. She leans toward the man sitting next to her.]

Leela: Is this the political process? Because I'm here to get involved in it.

[A larger view of the scene is shown. Seven people are standing on a stage with their own respective podiums. A large Earthican flag hangs on a wall.]

Morbo: Silence!

[He sits down and starts reading from a card.]

Morbo: Question one. Will you pledge today to somehow reduce taxes while simultaneously lowering the deficit.

Unnamed candidate 1: Hey, that's a good idea! Sure.

[The camera pans over to each of the candidates.]

Unnamed candidate 2: If it'll win me the election, then yes.

Unnamed candidate 3: We have a saying up in Alaska.

[She pauses.]

Unnamed candidate 3: That's all.

[The camera pans over to another candidate, who is silent and thinking.]

Morbo: Senator Travers?

Chris Travers: Look, let's be honest here. No one likes taxes. But they pay for our basic needs. Roads, schools, defense. If we hope to realize our aspirations as a great planet, we must each pay our fair share to achieve those noble goals.

[Cut to: The audience. They all lean forward and boo, except for Leela, who stands up and claps slowly. They quiet down, leaving Leela left standing and clapping alone. She makes an angry face and sits down, crossing her arms.]

Morbo: Thank you, Senator. A thoughtful and lucid answer. You will be destroyed!
