<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.

[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] have dinner (as friends) at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine|Elzar's]] where Fry's credit card is declined. The next morning, Fry visits [[Big Apple Bank|his bank]] and learns that his account is overdrawn by $13. After explaining his situation to [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], and demanding to be paid what he is worth, Fry's salary is halved. Following a series of failed second jobs Fry returns home and goes to sleep. In the dream, his feet become stuck to the ground until [[Sal]] appears and cuts him free, then sells him a set of steak knives. Inspired, Fry heads to DreamCo, where he gets a job and begins selling products to colleagues and acquaintances.

Fry eventually arrives in Leela's dream, in which she is on stage as a singer at [[Madison Cube Garden]]. He exits the dream immediately, deciding to make her dream come true. This means he needs more money to rent the venue, which means that he needs to make a lot more sales. The next day Fry surprises Leela with a trip to Madison Cube Garden, where she is reminded of a recurring nightmare that has lasted since childhood and falls into a terror coma. Fry runs off to DreamCo and enters the dream, where he helps Leela get over her fear. The concert goes well, with Leela already on the third encore when Fry returns. Leela invites Fry to her place for dinner the next night, where she tries to help him get over a fear of spiders.

The Story

Act I

Fry and Leela have dinner (as friends) at Elzar's where Fry's credit card is declined. The next morning, Fry visits his bank and learns that his account is overdrawn by $13. After explaining his situation to the Professor, and demanding to be paid what he is worth, Fry's salary is halved. Following a series of failed second jobs Fry returns home and goes to sleep. In the dream, his feet become stuck to the ground until Sal appears and cuts him free, then sells him a set of steak knives. Inspired, Fry heads to DreamCo, where he gets a job and begins selling products to colleagues and acquaintances.

Act II

Fry eventually arrives in Leela's dream, in which she is on stage as a singer at Madison Cube Garden. He exits the dream immediately, deciding to make her dream come true. This means he needs more money to rent the venue, which means that he needs to make a lot more sales. The next day Fry surprises Leela with a trip to Madison Cube Garden, where she is reminded of a recurring nightmare that has lasted since childhood and falls into a terror coma. Fry runs off to DreamCo and enters the dream, where he helps Leela get over her fear. The concert goes well, with Leela already on the third encore when Fry returns.
