Futurama teaches us that the line between trash and not-trash is thin and ambiguous. Anything dropped on the ground becomes trash. All will eventually become trash—from trash we come and to trash we shall return. We are defined by our garbage.

@constans @clairewillett @notherroommate @wtflanksteak it's a platonic allusion to their teamwork and competitive personalities which are critical to the story's core conflict throughout the film and especially the main characters' eventual cooperation in the climactic scenes

@RogersWork @bunspunabitch @clairewillett @notherroommate @wtflanksteak But we all accept that the volleyball scene is basically there for eye candy rather than some kind of artistic or story oriented purpose.

Honestly, what are you people talking about?!
