Prof. Farnsworth: “Let me show you around. That’s my lab table and this is my work stool and over there is my intergalactic space ship. And here is where i keep assorted lengths of wire.”
Fry: “Wow, a real live space ship!”
Prof. Farnsworth: “I designed it myself. Let me show some of the different lengths of wire I used.”
