    I always think back to this one:

    Leela: “that guy’s turning this place into some sort of ‘business’”

    Professor: “this isn’t a business, I’ve always thought of it more as a source of cheap labor … like a family”

    I don’t know why I like it so much. I could see the punchline coming but how the exchange got there makes me smile every time.

        lol, it’s not just the quote that gets me with the “headache with pictures” … it’s Leela saying something like, “you mean an idea?”

        and then Fry with the weird nod reply

          Yup. The whole exchange is fantastic. I do the head-nod part with my partner a lot if I struggle to explain something and she gives me a better phrasing for it (and vice versa).
