    I’m partial to the joke in this episode:

    [Plunging the ship deep into the ocean]

    “How many atmospheres of pressure can the ship take?”

    “Well it’s a space ship, so somewhere between zero and one.”

      One of my favorites was from Bender: “Oh, but you can, but you might have to ‘metaphorically’ make a deal with the ‘devil’. And by ‘devil’, I mean Robot Devil, and by ‘metaphorically’, I mean get your coat.”

      I always think back to this one:

      Leela: “that guy’s turning this place into some sort of ‘business’”

      Professor: “this isn’t a business, I’ve always thought of it more as a source of cheap labor … like a family”

      I don’t know why I like it so much. I could see the punchline coming but how the exchange got there makes me smile every time.

          lol, it’s not just the quote that gets me with the “headache with pictures” … it’s Leela saying something like, “you mean an idea?”

          and then Fry with the weird nod reply
