    My favourite bit is this one from a different episode:

    Fry: What’s the matter compressor?

    Professor Farnsworth: Nothing’s the matter, Fry, now that I’ve turbo-charged the matter compressor.

      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.
