Episode Quotes

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [addressing Hermes] You should be ashamed of yourself, Fry. You'd have to be blind not to notice Leela's a Cyclops.
Hermes Conrad: Frys over the there, Mon!

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Oh!
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [explaining why palm trees are used as Xmas trees] Pine trees have been extinct for 800 years, Fry. Gone the way of the poodle and your primitive notions of modesty.

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Ah. Brisk.
Fry: I am going to get you so many lizards!

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (plot holes): Fry is told by the Professor that the pine tree has been extinct for eight-hundred years, and yet in the previous scene pine trees were visible in the background of the lodge.

Trivia

  • One of the pets Fry considers buying is a one-eared rabbit, a reference to Bongo, a character from Matt Groening's comic strip "Life in Hell".
  • Title screen gag: Based on a true story.
