It's freedom day in the Future, a day when everyone does what they want. Zoidberg loves
it and, at Richard Nixon's speech, eats the Earth flag. He is booed by everyone and
chased into the Decapodian embassy by the president, where he is given shelter. He is
found guilty by the supreme court, defended by a hippy veteran. Nixon tries to break down
the door of the embassy, which is seen as an act of war. Decapodian warships descend and,
to teach them a lesson about freedom, enslave the inhabitants of Earth. They generally
oppress everyone, and the leader makes an enourmous mobile palace/weapon of destruction
that crushes people. Most of the Decapodians leave. Zoidberg uses a burning Earth flag to destroy the palace witha heat seeking missile and everyone forgives him.
Quotes:
Zoidberg: That's why I love Earth. You can do what you want, and no one makes you feel guilty, because no one cares. Fry: We're not listening! Zoidberg: That's what I'm talking about!
Nixon: My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom it's almost sickening. We're free to choose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster.
Leela: Today is the day we fight back! Bender: It's already ten o'clock. Leela: Oh, you're right. Tomorrow is the day we fight back.
