Episode Quotes

iHawk: This isn't a war, it's a murder.

iHawk: [imitating Groucho Marx] This isn't a war, it's a moider.
Solider: Why is this godforsaken hellhole worth dying for?
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Don't ask me. You're the ones who are going to be dying.
Dr. Zoidberg: Scalpel. Blood bucket. Priest. Next patient!
iHawk: Geez, Zoidberg. Leave some for the enemy to kill.
Nurse: You leave Dr. Zoidberg alone. He has twice the training you have.
iHawk: Yeah, he's a doctor and a butcher. [laughs]
Dr. Zoidberg: See, this is how it starts. First with the jokes, then comes the heavy stuff.
iHawk: [Turns switch from irreverent to maudlin] When will the killing end?

Trivia

  • SPOILER: When it aired originally, the last few minutes of the episode were pre-empted on the East Coast of the United States for a live news conference, held by Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, announcing the soon-to-be-controversial certification that named George W. Bush the winner in Florida of the 2000 presidential election. The interruption by Fox News occurred just after Bender screamed when he thought he said the word to blow up the planet, followed by a few seconds of black screen.
  • The store where Fry buys ham-flavored chewing gum has a sign that says, "Free bag of ice-9 with six-pack". Ice-9 is a fictional form of ice which is solid at room temperature, described by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in his novel "Cat's Cradle".
  • The scene where it switches to the hospital has many large references to the classic American TV series M*A*S*H. The PA announcer and the scene with Dr. Zoidberg arguing with a robot (which has "iHawk" written on the front, referencing Hawkeye Pierce, the series' main character) are both the two main examples.
