Since Pluto's eccentric orbit crosses that of Neptune's, will there be a point where both collide?

Reading Neil Degrasse Tyson's 'Death By Black Hole' where he mentions Pluto has an orbit much like an asteroid with an eccentric orbit, to the point that it crosses the orbit of Neptune. Is it possible that Neptune and Pluto could collide in the future?

No.

Pluto's orbit doesn't intersect Neptune's in three dimensions, and they don't even come close. Pluto's orbit is at a considerable angle to the ecliptic (the plane that the solar system mostly lies in).

Additionally, Pluto's orbit is in 3:2 resonance with Neptune's, providing further protection from a collision.
