Quotes
Fry: Uhm, Leela, remember when we were trying to guess what would happen if someone stuck a gun in my face and you said I'd probably crap my pants? Well...
Crud gang member: We are the cruds, but we're over here. And don't shoot. That crate is a gift from us.
Leela: What?!
Fry: Huh?!
Blip gang member: For real?!
Crud gang member: There's been enough violence on these streets, too many lives and mirrors have been shattered, so yo, we sent you a crate o' weapons as a sign o' trust. Together, we can use them to rid our streets of the real enemy: giant spiders!
Fry: I knew it!
Bender: They stole everything except my mouth and eyes! I guess they didn't like all my screamin' and winkin'.
Ship captain: I thought we were near the rocks, but I don't see the lighthouse so, everything is fine and we can relax. [He speaks through the intercom.] All hands on deck...for mojitos.
