Quotes 

• Nibbler : What is one life weighed against the entire universe?

  Fry : But it was my life!

• Ken : You are the last hope of the universe.

  Fry : So I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?

  Ken : Yes - except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock.

• [having been trapped in a parallel universe] 

  The Big Brain : Well, here we are. Trapped for eternity.

  Giant Brain #1 : We could sing 'American Pie'.

  Fry : Go ahead. I deserve it.

• Leela : You know, Fry? I don't care if you're not the most important person in the universe. It really makes me happy to see you right now.

  Fry : Then I am the most important person in the universe.

• Nibbler : Do you remember some months ago when the Earth was under attack by flying brains?

  Fry : Hmmm. I remember the square-dancing stomachs, but that might have been a Mylanta commercial.

• Nibbler : I didn't travel back in time! My people lack that ability.

  Fry : But... I know you in the future! I clean your poop!

  Nibbler : Quite possible. We live long and are celebrated poopers.

• Fry : There are guys in the background of Mary Worth comics who are more important than me.

• [after his memory is erased] 

  Fry : Huh. Did everything just taste purple for a second?

• Fry : What really killed the dinosaurs?

  The Huge Brain : Me!

• Leela : We're back from the mission.

  Fry : Wha... You went without me?

  Bender : You were looking up curse words in the dictionary. It seemed like a better use of your time.

• [as Fry is trying to pick up Nibbler's anti-matter poop] 

  Smitty : Whoo-hoo-hoo, smells like a 289 in progress.

  URL : Failure to scoop. Aw, yeah.

  Fry : Wait, I'm trying. It weighs as much as a thousand suns.

• Fry : I'm sorry I missed the mission. I wasn't there, and you might have needed me.

  Bender : Nope.

  Fry : But if I've been there...

  Bender : Nope.

  Fry : Look...

  Bender : Nope.

  Fry : Bender's great.

  Bender : Nope... Aw!

• Fry : Delivery boy Philip J. Fry, reporting for duty.

  Dr. Zoidberg : Doctor Zoidberg, soaking in brine.

• Fry : Aah! Brains!

  Ken : Fear not, mighty one. Your missing brain waves make you invisible to them, so long as you avoid intense thinking.

  Fry : Sorry, what? I wasn't paying attention.

  Ken : That is most wise.

  Fry : Who?

• Fry : What happened to me, Philip J. Fry, on the night of December 31st, 1999?

  The Huge Brain : Clarification request: Are you the Philip J. Fry from Earth, or the Philip J. Fry from hovering squidworld 97-A?

  The Big Brain : Earth, you fat idiot. Hurry up!

• Ken : For a thousand years, the evil Brains have been constructing the Infosphere, a giant memory bank the size of three ordinary memory banks.

  Fry : What's so evil about that?

  Fiona : They plan to collect all information in the universe and store it in the sphere.

  Fry : So they're trying to learn things?

  Fiona : Right.

  Fry : Those bastards!

  Nibbler : Being brains, they feel compelled to know everything, and soon they will.

  Fry : I'm as mad as I've ever been!

  Ken : Once their task is complete, they will ensure that no new information arises in the only way possible: by destroying the universe.

  Fry : Now it's personal!

• Fry : I'm as worthless as this trash can.

  Trash Can : You think I'm as worthless as you? Try catching garbage in your head and raising six kids, you dumb townie!

• [having been trapped in a parallel universe] 

  Giant Brain #1 : Well, here we are. Trapped for eternity.

  Giant Brain #2 : We could sing 'American Pie'.

  Fry : Go ahead. I deserve it.

• Fry : [discussing Fry being his own grandfather as a result of going back in time and getting with his grandmother]  I did do the nasty in the past-y.

  Nibbler : Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains!

• Ken : Does he not know?

  Nibbler : He does not know.

  Fiona : He knows not?

  Nibbler : Knows not does he.

  Nibblonian : Not he knows?

  Ken : Enough!

• Fry : Aw, Nibbler, at least I'm important to you, even if only 'cause I clean up your poop.

  Nibbler : The poop eradication is but one aspect of your importance.

  Fry : [nods in agreement until he realizes]  Gaah! D-D-Did you just talk?

  Nibbler : Indeed. And I have other amazing powers as well.

  Fry : Like what?

  [Nibbler knocks Fry unconscious and drags him away] 

• Ken : Fry, it is my solemn duty to inform you that the fate of humanity, the fate of our race, indeed, the fate of all that exists and ever will exist, rests with you. You are the most important person in the universe.

  Fry : Oh, snap!

• Fry : Is it true the back of stamps are made out of...

  The Huge Brain : Correct! Toad mucus!

• Fry : Hey. Did everything just taste purple for a second?

• Fry : [discussing Fry being his own grandfather as a result of going back in time and getting with his grandmother]  I did do the nasty in the past-y.

  Nibbler : Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains!

• Fry : I'm nobody. There are guys in the background of Mary Worth comics who are more important than me.

  Bender : Ah, buck up, meatloaf. Bender'll take you out tonight and cheer you up. What do you wanna do? And I mean anything! You have the power! Name it and I'm there! You the man!

  Fry : Um, okay. Let's go bowling.

  Bender : Nah.

• Fry : [Waking up after Nibbler knocks him out]  Are you my mommy?

  Nibbler : Negative.

• Fry : Oh, no! Wait! I'm gonna get trapped in the Infosphere again! Just remember that Scooty-Puff Jr. sucks!

  Nibbler : [Fry fades away]  In a thousand years, I'll get right on it.
