Fry: Fine! I'll just start my own troop with just me in it! I'll call it... The Fry Scouts!
Professor: That's the saddest thing I've ever seen. And I'm best friends with Zoidberg.
Zoidberg: Hooray! Zoidberg isn't the most pathetic staff member anymore!
Bender: Destroy all humans!
Amy: Ugh! Why did you pick that motto for your bot scout troop, Bender?
Bender: We tried, "Maim all humans," but it just didn't have the same sizzle!
Fry: Surprise, Amy! I did your laundry and put everything back in your closet!
Amy: Oh no! I arrange things from cute to smoking. You put a sexy skirt right next to an adorable top! AAAAGH! This will take hours to fix!
Hermes: Hmmmmm... Time to use an old conflict resolution technique I learned at camp!
[Hermes pulls out a taser and zaps Fry, Leela and Bender.]
Fry, Leela and Bender: AAAAAAAH!
Amy: You learned that in the scouts?
[Hermes shows Amy a badge on the inside of his jacket.]
Hermes: Still got my tasering badge!
