Futurama: A Flight to Remember

This year's company vacation will take place on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, captained by Zapp Brannigan. To avoid his unwanted seduction, Leela lies of an engagement to Fry. Zapp isn't the only one being misled about romantic involvements. Amy's parents are also aboard the ship, and she's pressured into telling them she has a new boyfriend, Fry. Amidst all the love lies, Bender woos a beautiful robot, the Countess de la Roca. Meanwhile, Zapp's arbitrary decision to deviate from the planned course of travel might cause history to repeat itself as the Titanic hits some obstacles along the way.

Episode Quotes
Leela: That was the worst delivery ever.
Fry: Yeah, I'm never going to another planet called Cannibalon.
Bender: Me neither! Food was good, though.

Zapp: She's a beautiful ship all right, shapely, seductive. I'm gonna fly her brains out.

Fry: Man, first class seems nice.
Professor: It'll seem even nicer once you've seen your room.

iZac: You're in love.
Bender: Oh, it's true. But we're star-crossed robots! She, a countess built with a silver spoon in her mouth, and me, just a regular honest Joe.
(takes drinks and walks away)
iZac: Hey, you gonna pay for those?
Bender: Hell no.

(as the ship approaches the black hole)
Zapp: Nothing remains now but for the captain to go down with the ship.
Kif: Why, that's surprisingly noble of you, sir.
Zapp: No, it's noble of you, Kif. As of now, you're in command. Congratulations, Captain!

Countess: Bender, you risked your life to save me!
Bender: And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it.



Cultural References
A Flight To Remember

The title of this episode is a parody of the 1958 movie A Night to Remember. The story was also very similar, with A Night to Remember based on the sinking of the Titanic and "A Flight to Remember" being a futuristic parody of the Titanic tragedy.
