Quotes
Professor Farnsworth: Good news, anyone. The Swedish Robot from πkea is here with the supercollider I ordered.
πkea Robot: Enjoy your affordable Swedish crap.
Bender: [After they finish working.] Ah, there. Finished. And with only six missing pieces!
Fry: Those Swedes sure know how to put in almost everything you need.
Leela: [She rubs her arm.] Man, I'm sore all over. I feel like I just went ten rounds with Mighty Thor.
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, let's go check on Hermes. All this inspiring multi-culturalism is angrying up my blood. [He, alongside the rest of the crew, gets up and leaves. They pass some fans holding a Go Sweden! banner.] Sweden? I don't think so! [He snatches the banner from them and screws it up.]
MC: [The Sweedledome, 2308.] Resulting in peace between east and west coast rappers... [The roof caves in.] Good God!
Bender: [He crashes down in a flying saucer, and grabs both the Nobel Prize and the check.] I accept this Nobel Peace Prize not just for myself, but for crime Robots everywhere. Skål! [He takes off, and the audience claps. He is then pursued by a three-fighter-aircraft.] Not so neutral now, are you, Sweden?
