Quotes 

• Leela : Fry, we have a crate to deliver.

  Fry : Well let's just dump it in the sewer and say we delivered it.

  Bender : Too much work. Let's burn it and *say* we dumped it in the sewer.

• Fry : I'm never gonna get used to the 31st century. Caffineated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? ADMIRAL Crunch?

  Leela : Well, if you don't like that, try some ARCHDUKE Chocula.

• Moon Rover Ride Narrator : No one really knows when, where, or how man landed on the moon...

  Fry : I do!

  Moon Rover Ride Narrator : ...but our Fungineers imagine it went something like this.

  [Animatronic whalers emerge from a lunar lander] 

  Animatronic Whalers : [singing]  We're whalers on the moon.

  Animatronic Gophers , Animatronic Gophers : We carry a harpoon.

  Animatronic Whalers , Animatronic Gophers , Leela : But there are no whales, so we tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune.

  Fry : That's not how it happened.

  Leela : Oh, really? I don't see you with a Fungineering degree.

• Hermes Conrad : Okay, captain, this is just a standard legal release, protecting Planet Express from lawsuits in the event of the unforeseen.

  Leela : [reading]  "Death by airlock failure... "

  Hermes Conrad : Mm-hm.

  Leela : "... death by brain parasite... "

  Hermes Conrad : Yah.

  Leela : "... death by sonic diarrhea... "

  Hermes Conrad : Oho, you don't want that.

  Leela : Look, I don't know about your previous captains, but I intend to do as little dying as possible.

  Hermes Conrad : Ohohohohohohoho... Sign the paper.

• Fry : Where are we going?

  Leela : Nowhere special. The moon.

  Fry : The mo - the moon? The moon moon? Wow! I'm going to be a hero, like Neil Armstrong and all those other brave guys no one ever heard of.

• Leela : Hurry, before we freeze.

  Bender : What do you mean "we", mammal?

• Leela : Our car broke down and we're low on oxygen. Can we borrow some?

  Moon Farmer : Borry? Listen here, city girl. Oxygen doesn't grow on trees. You'll have to work it off doing chores on my hydroponic farm. You can go back to your precious park at sun-up.

  Fry : I guess we can do chores for a few hours.

  Leela : Fry, night lasts two weeks on the moon.

  Moon Farmer : Yep, drops down to minus-173.

  Fry : Celsius or Fahrenheit?

  Moon Farmer : First one, then the other.

• Leela : So, Fry. Was the real moon anything like the moon you used to dream about?

  Fry : Eh. Close enough.

• Fry : Look! It's the moon landing site! We found it!

  Leela : Fry, get in here.

  Fry : It's that flag from MTV, and Neil Armstrong's footprint!

  [Puts his foot over Armstrong's footprint, leaving a Nike footprint in its place] 

  Fry : Hey, my foot's bigger. Leela, isn't this the greatest thing you've ever seen?

  Leela : Fry, look around! It's just a crummy plastic flag and a dead man's tracks in the dust. Now get in here before you freeze.

• Fry : Can I do the countdown?

  Leela : Huh? Oh, sure. Knock yourself out.

  Fry : Ten.

  [ship takes off] 

  Fry : Nine.

  [ship reaches the moon] 

  Leela : Okay, we're here.

  Fry : [quietly]  Eightsevensixfivefourthreetwooneblastoff.

• [Fry and Leela are taking a ride on the Moon Park] 

  Moon Rover Ride Narrator : The story of lunar exploration started with one man - a man with a dream.

  Animatronic Ralph Kramden : One of these days, Alice. Bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon.

  Leela : Wow! I never realized the first astronauts were so fat.

  Fry : That's not an astronaut, it's a TV comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.

• Amy Wong : Look, we're not as rich as everybody says.

  Leela : [dubiously]  Uh huh. What sorority do you belong to?

  Amy Wong : Kappa Kappa Wong.

• Leela : If everyone is done being stupid...

  Fry : I had more, but go ahead.

• Fry : Look, Leela. I'm sorry. I never should have dragged you out here.

  Leela : That's right, you shouldn't have. I still don't get what the big attraction is.

  Fry : I never told anybody this, but a thousand years ago I used to look up at the moon and dream about being an astronaut. I just didn't have the grades, or the physical endurance. Plus I threw up a lot, and nobody liked spending a week with me.

  Leela : A week would be a little much.

  Fry : The moon was like this awesome, romantic, mysterious thing, hanging up there in the sky where you could never reach it, no matter how much you wanted to. But you're right. Once you're actually here, it's just a big, dull rock. I guess I just wanted you to see it through my eyes, the way I used to.

  [the window reflects off Fry's helmet; Leela looks outside and sees a beautiful moonscape with the Earth in the sky] 

  Leela : Fry, look. It really is beautiful. I don't know why I never noticed it before.

• Fry : Hurry up! I wanna get to the moon!

  Leela : Relax. It's open 'til nine.

• Leela : Well, if the oxygen holds out, we might live long enough to starve to death.
