Scenes with Professor Hubert Farnsworth 187

Prof. Farnsworth

Good Lord! That's over 5000 atmospheres of pressure!

How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?

Prof. Farnsworth

Well, it was built for space travel, so anywhere between zero and one.

But the professor can't walk all the way to the Bronx. How are we going to get there without a hovercar?

Wait. In my time we had a way of moving objects long distances without hovering.

Impossible!

It was called... let me think... It was really famous. Ruth Gordon had one... The wheel.

Never heard of it.

Prof. Farnsworth

Show us this "the wheel."

Prof. Farnsworth

Just the thought of caressing that leathery hide makes the tapioca rise in my gullet.

Professor, please. The fate of the world depends on you getting to second base with Mom.

Prof. Farnsworth

Very well. If cop a feel I must, then cop a feel I shall!

Darling Hubie, I should never have tried to tamper with that cute little Q.T. McWhiskers.

Prof. Farnsworth

No, it was silly of me to object; one-foot tall, eight-feet, 15-feet, what does it matter?

You should see the new 16-foot models.

Prof. Farnsworth

16 feet?! Go to hell!

Professor Farnsworth

Unless this is a nude love-in, get the hell off my property!

FWFree Waterfall Jr.

Pssh! You can't own property, man!

Professor Farnsworth

I can, but that's because I'm not a penniless hippie!

Professor Farnsworth

Ohhh, you've killed me! You've killed me!

Oh God, what have I done?

Professor Farnsworth

I just told you! You've killed me!

[The anteaters finish him off. All that is left of him is his skeleton and his lab coat. An anteater coughs up his glasses onto his skull. Planet Express Corridor. Leela stand outside the lounge rubbing her hands.]

Ok, just try to be nonchalant.

[Planet Express: Lounge. Leela walks in whistling nonchalantly.]

Alright, so you're nonchalant. Quit rubbing our noses in it.

RVRobot Villager #1

Some say unholy things happen up there.

RVRobot Villager #2

For example, all of us say that.

Prof. Farnsworth

Pfft! Supersticious robot mumbo-jumbo!

RVRobot Villager #2

Mumbo, perhaps. Jumbo, perhaps not.

That painting! The eyes are watching me!

[The Professor moves his drink in front of the painting. The painting's eyes follow it]

Prof. Farnsworth

It has motorized sensors attached to motion detectors.

So does my butt, but I don't frame it and put it on the wall. Although...

Prof. Farnsworth

Just as I suspected. These robots were buried in improperly-shielded coffins. Their programming leaked into the castles wiring through this old, abandoned modem allowing them to project themselves as holograms.

Of course! It was so obvious!

Prof. Farnsworth

Yes, that sequence of words I said made perfect sense.

So you're saying these aren't the decaying ruins of New York in the year 4000?

Farnsworth

You wish! You're in Los-Angeles!

But there was this gang of 10-year-olds with guns.

Exactly, you're in L.A.

But everyone is driving around in cars shooting at each other.

That's L.A. for you.

But the air is green and there's no sign of civilisation whatsoever.

He just won't stop with the social commentary.

And the people are all phoneys. No one reads. Everything has cilantro on it.

[last lines]

Can I have my old job back?

Prof. Farnsworth

Why, I've forgotten why I haven't fired you.

Because he destroyed his business, his home and all his possessions!

Prof. Farnsworth

Oh, that's right! Get lost! [pulls the lever and plants a floor trap on Fry]

Professor Farnsworth

Anyhoo, your net-suits will allow you to experience Fry's worm infested bowels as if you were actually wriggling through them.

There's no part of that sentence I didn't like!

Prof. Farnsworth

[whispers] Be very quiet. We're in the ear.

[whispers] Okay, professor.

Prof. Farnsworth

WHAT?!

[to Leela] What about "what"?

Uh...What about we go for a walk because it's a lovely day, perhaps?

Oh, okay.
