Kif, I have mated with a woman. Inform the men. There's no part of that sentence I didn't like! Son, as your lawyer, I declare y'all are in a 12-piece bucket o' trouble. But I done struck you a deal: Five hours of community service cleanin' up that ol' mess you caused.

Of all the friends I've had… you're the first. So I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct? Then throw her in the laundry room, which will hereafter be referred to as "the brig".

You won't have time for sleeping, soldier, not with all the bed making you'll be doing. Why, those are the Grunka-Lunkas! They work here in the Slurm factory. Michelle, I don't regret this, but I both rue and lament it.

Dr. Zoidberg, that doesn't make sense. But, okay! I saw you with those two "ladies of the evening" at Elzars. Explain that. But, like most politicians, he promised more than he could deliver. We can't compete with Mom! Her company is big and evil! Ours is small and neutral!

Moving along… Can we have Bender Burgers again? I'm sorry, guys. I never meant to hurt you. Just to destroy everything you ever believed in. Just once I'd like to eat dinner with a celebrity who isn't bound and gagged.

This is the worst kind of discrimination: the kind against me! Eeeee! Now say "nuclear wessels"! Morbo can't understand his teleprompter because he forgot how you say that letter that's shaped like a man wearing a hat.

Then we'll go with that data file! Leela, Bender, we're going grave robbing. Hey, guess what you're accessories to. Yeah, lots of people did. Oh right. I forgot about the battle. Can we have Bender Burgers again?

Oh, you're a dollar naughtier than most. Hello Morbo, how's the family? Large bet on myself in round one. These old Doomsday Devices are dangerously unstable. I'll rest easier not knowing where they are.

You guys realize you live in a sewer, right? Take me to your leader! Goodbye, cruel world. Goodbye, cruel lamp. Goodbye, cruel velvet drapes, lined with what would appear to be some sort of cruel muslin and the cute little pom-pom curtain pull cords. Cruel though they may be…

Fry! Quit doing the right thing, you jerk! Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of 'will'? My fellow Earthicans, as I have explained in my book 'Earth in the Balance'', and the much more popular ''Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth', we need to defend our planet against pollution. Also dark wizards.

For the last time, I don't like lilacs! Your 'first' wife was the one who liked lilacs! Well, let's just dump it in the sewer and say we delivered it. I barely knew Philip, but as a clergyman I have no problem telling his most intimate friends all about him.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things; but vice-versa the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant. Did I mention we have comfy chairs?
