"Some were left from first season and aired in the second broadcast season." "Somebody likes snouts." "It's hard to believe that the voice of Nibbler is the guy who was Freddy on Scooby-Doo." "I believe it." "BENDER:" "Stupid can opener!" "You killed my father and now you want me!" "That's a reference to the Red Sox." "COMMENTARY:" "A writer for The Boston Globe said after they lost in '86:" ""You did this to our fathers and now you're coming back for us. "" "I said, pet him."

"And this time if someone jumps out of it, put them in after it's cooked." "So it's a cake you want, is it?" "I'll make you a cake..." "COMMENTARY:" "As the season progressed they didn't want Bender to cook because he was so bad." "I guess they're still learning just how bad he is."

"But reserve it now." "LEELA:" "We better go down and find him." "Are you crazy?" "There's mutants there!" " They'll eat you alive!" " They're hideous!" "COMMENTARY:" "See, that's ironic." "Mutants are just a ridiculous urban myth." "What's interesting is that Bender in 1 03 referred to living with mutants." "Bender believed there were mutants living there." "Yet here's a conversation where they say they may or may not exist." "The PJs!" " Here's a favor we did to our close friends, Steve Tompkins and Larry Wilmore." "And they reciprocated by putting Fry on a milk carton in The PJs as a lost person." "So if you buy The PJs DVD, see if they mention that." "So, what we're saying is, The PJs and Futurama are all the same universe." "Yeah, they were honoring their favorite TV show, The PJs."

" The wonderful Dave Herman." " Well, who's doing the voice?" " That's Tress MacNeille." "And that's Maurice LaMarche." "Speaking of Paris, we built that set underneath the Fox Studios." "It's complicated because there's this sewer society and there's Old New York where Fry's apartment is." "They're not the same." "I've always wondered which is above which." "Is Old New York...?" "I can tell you because in another future episode Fry's in Old New York and a mutant comes up from the sewer below that." "So I think these guys are below Old New York." " However..." " They just opened a manhole though on the surface, to access this place." "I'm gonna have you hauled out of here in one second." "[MAN LAUGHS]" " Parts are above others." " Who says it's one level?" "One thing we discussed when we put the show together was hiding secrets that would be revealed as time went on." "Coming up is a little secret."

" I don't speak Spanish..." " I know what chupa means." " What?" "Chupa means suck." "There you go, goat-sucker." " So this is kneebray-sucker." " It's a burrito, I believe." " I'm thinking of chimichanga." " Oh, chimichanga." "Do you remember this scene?" "The scene here where they rip Leela's shirt we replaced the original shot, which was an extreme close-up..." " Lovingly drawn." " Of the shirt ripping." "I think that will be an Easter egg." "Find it if you can." " We can thank Mark Ervin for that." " Two Easter eggs." " This is a great moment of suspense." " I like that sound effect." "Travis Powers, sound effects head." "BENDER:" "Nibbler!" "Come here, precious." "Look, everyone." "It's El Chupakneebray." " That's not him." " Say what?"

"The thing I remember about El Chupakneebray... ." " The thing." " The monster." "The note I made is that Stewart Burns came in and said, "We're calling it Chupakneebray?" "That's terrible." "It's great, but it's terrible. "" "Well, how did they know that it was "kneebray"?" "It's a coincidence." "There was heavy debate in the room." "Stewart thought, "If I don't like it they'll spend a lot of time figuring out how to change it. "" "Bender makes that noise when his arms fall off." " In the pilot... ." " That's right." "This solves Fry's problem when Bender puts his arms back on and he says:" " "I don't know how you did that. "" " I never noted that." "This is the first time that Bender really does superhero stuff." " Helped somebody." "I like how he waves goodbye." "That's a good little touch." "MUTANT:" "Let's do a tissue-tape parade!" "BENDER:" "No, thanks." "[FRY SPLASHES]" "Gather around to hear the legend of Bender." "He came from above with a..." "It'll be ages before another guitar string is flushed." "COMMENTARY:" "Let me get this straight." "Somebody flushed five guitar strings and a whole guitar?" "Oh, yeah." "If Bender could get down a toilet, a guitar could." "BENDER:" "...before I kill myself." "You won't believe this, but the empathy chip burned out." "The emotion you felt for Nibbler was your own!" "COMMENTARY:" "This episode was "I Second That Emotion" in reference to it being the second season." "I wasn't there when we named it." "I wanted it to be "Emotional Rescue.
