"Well, at least here you'll be treated with dignity. Now strip naked and get on the probulator."

Leela: I might've liked Zapp if he wasn't an arrogant jerkwad who threw me in prison.
Bender: You know you really are too picky.

Leela: Fry, you're wasting your whole life sitting in front of that tv. You need to get out and see the world.
Fry: But this is HDTV. It's got better resolution than the real world.

Zapp Brannigan: Leela! I didn't know where else to turn. You're the only woman who ever loved me.
Leela: I never loved you.
Zapp: I mean physically.

Dwayne: If the legend is true, our only hope is to offer him a sacrifice.

(Leela is at the side of the stage of the Miss Universe pageant when she sees Zapp Brannigan about to announce the winner.)
Zapp: And the winner is...
Leela: It figures. Who else but Zapp Brannigan would be judging the most chauvinistic, degrading, dehumanising-
Zapp: (turns around) Huh? Leela?

Lyrics - "Somewhere Out There" by Our Lady Peace

Last time I talked to you,
you were lonely and out of place.
You were looking down on me,
lost out in space.
Laid underneath the stars,
strung out and feeling brave.
Watch the riddles glow,
watch them float away.
Down here in the atmosphere,
garbage and city lights,
you gotta save your tired soul,
you gotta save our lives.
Turn on the radio,
to find you on sattellite,
I'm waiting for the sky to fall,
I'm waiting for a sign.
All we are is all so far.
You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
Hope you remember me,
when you're homesick and need a change.
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste.
I know you'll come back someday,
on a bed of nails awake.
I'm praying that you don't burn out,
or fade away.
All we are is all so far
You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there, oh.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity....
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.
You're falling back to me.
Well I know,
I know.
You're falling out of reach.
I know...

Favorite scenes:

[{Anthology of Interest II-"Wizzin' "}]
Professor: As for you, young lady, you want to go home, right?
Leela: No, not anymore. I wanna stay here and become the new Wicked Witch.
Professor: Nonsense! Now click your big honking boots together three times and wish to go home to Kansas, to live in poverty with your dirt farming, teetotaling aunt and uncle.
Leela: Alright, here I go. (She clicks her boots three times.) There's no place like--I WANNA BE A WITCH! (She turns into a witch, complete with a pointed hat. Everyone gasps and she turns Fry, the Professor and Bender into frogs and laughs. Water falls on her from above and she starts to melt.) Oh no! What's happening?
Zoidburg: Uh, sorry. I think there's a problem with your upstairs toilet. (He stands on the stairs, pulling up his scrubs.)
