A few minutes before new year's eve of 2000, Fry, a delivery boy from Pannicci's Pizza is sent to deliver a pizza to I.C. Wiener in a Cryogenics Lab. Finally realizing it was a prank phone call, Fry "accidentally" got frozen for a thousand years. He wakes up on December 31th of 2999, and among others, he met an one-eyed alien Fate Assignment Officer named Leela.

Fry found out he has one living relative, his great, great, great, great, great... nephew Hubert J. Farnsworth. When Leela told him that he is gonna be a Delivery Boy once again and that she needs to install him a career chip, he escapes from the Laboratory and tries to call his nephew from a Suicide Booth (thinking it was a phone booth). Waiting in line, he meets a robot named Bender, that decided to go inside the booth with Fry. They managed to not get killed in there and became friends.

Meanwhile Leela was searching Fry in NNYC with the police, and when she found them, Fry and Bender escaped by going inside the Head Museum, where they met Leonard Nimoy's head and other celebrities. Both got caught by the cops using excessive force. Leela told them to stop, but when they (the cops) made fun of her nose, Leela knock them out, giving Fry and Bender time to escape again.

Fry and Bender decide to go underground NNYC, where Fry discovers the ruins of Old New York. He realized there that he lost all his life and friends, when suddenly Leela shows up. Fry decided to let Leela install his career chip as a Delivery Boy, but instead, Leela removed her chip, because she also didn't liked her job.

Fry, Leela and Bender, being fugitives of the law, decide to visit Fry's nephew, Professor Farnsworth. After confirming that Fry is actually his great, great.... uncle, the Professor shows them his Starship and his collection of wires. Meanwhile, the police surrounded the building, and they decide to escape using the Space Ship. They take off and the police started to shoot to the ship, but between the fireworks of new year's eve of 3000, they manage to scape to space. Leela mention that they are fugitives, but Professor Farnsworth had the career chips of his old death crew that used to work for him in a Delivery Company called Planet Express. Fry got a new job, ironically as a Delivery Boy, but this time, he was very happy about it.

    Voice: Please select mode of death. Quick and painless or Slow and horrible
    Fry: Yeah, I'd like to place a collect call...
    Voice: You have selected Slow and horrible
    Bender: Great choice!
