"You only wrote two pages of dialogue." "It took an hour to write." "I thought it'd take an hour to read." " What do we do now?" " I don't know." "Say anything, if it's compelling and mesmerizing." "A tour de force." "Uh...." "What say you, Single Female Lawyer?" "I say I'm giving up the law!" "And I'm giving up being single!" "Your Honor, will you marry me?" "Oh, no!" "Go to commercial!" "We'll be back after this word from Crazy Bender's Discount Stereo." " Married?" "Jenny can't get married!" " Why not?" "It's clever, unexpected." "That's not why people watch TV!" "Clever things make people feel stupid." "Unexpected things make them feel scared." "Attention, McNeal." "Your unexpected marriage plan scares us." "You stole our hearts as a single female lawyer." "So shall you remain, or else!" "See?" "TV audiences don't want originality." "They want what they've seen 1000 times before." " What you talking about, Fry?" " Trust me." "While other people lived their lives, I watched TV." "Deep down I knew it might one day help me save the world." "Plus I'd have lost Workman's Comp if I went outside." "Read these cue cards."

"Single Female Lawyer" "Having lots of sex" " Huh?" "McNeal, we are reasonably satisfied with the events we have seen." "Overall, I would rate it a C-Plus." "Okay, not great." "As a result, we will not destroy your planet." "Neither will we provide you with our recipe for immortality." "Way to overact, Zoidberg." "Now we must return to our planet to catch a 1000-year-old Leno monologue." " You did it, Fry!" " Yep." "It was just knowing the secret of all TV shows." "At the end of the episode, everything is right back to normal."
