Matt Groening Great. But writers can't just live on snacks.
Matt Groening We need to be able to order lunch, so that when it comes we can stop working for an hour...
Matt Groening - Happy ...and often longer.
Homer - Confused Can't you just bring your lunch from home?

Matt Groening Almost. We just need a few more supplies.

Matt Groening No, coffee. I need you to go on a coffee run.
Homer - Confused Why a coffee run? We have freshly-made coffee right here in the coffee machine.

Matt Groening Sorry about that. But I like watching you move around.
Matt Groening Beautiful character design, if I say so myself.
Homer - Serious My eyes are up here, creep.

Homer - Sad Why did you look so sinister when you said that.
Matt Groening Because I decided not to get rid of Futurama, Homer.
Matt Groening - Angry I decided to get rid of you.
Homer - Scared Get rid of me? But it's an episode of the Simpsons. You need me -- I do the jokes!
Matt Groening I've got Bender.
Homer - Thoughtful Well sure, he's a lot like me... only a robot, and crazier, and his voice is all...

Matt Groening No, and now it's time to get rid of you forever.
