Quotes

    Linda: In what has become a winter tradition, members of the Zarlon 7 Polar Bear Club today took the plunge into a river of liquid ammonia. [The TV shows people jumping in.]
    Morbo: There were no survivors.
    Linda: [She chuckles.] Takes all kinds! And now, with his annual Xmas message, here's the head of the Xmas Safety Council, the head of Walter Cronkite.
    Walter Cronkite's head: Season's warnings, Linda and Morbo.
    Bender: This guy's too trustworthy. What's his angle?
    Walter Cronkite's head: In all the tinsel and terror of the holiday season, we too often underestimate that murderous brute better known as Santa Claus. With images of last year's gingerbread massacre freshly baked into our memories, I remind you to bolt your doors, say goodbye to your pets, and lock your children in the closet. This is Walter Cronkite saying, "I told you so".
