Clooney film faces censorship (But You Know The New York Slimes...)

Leela? Leela?

What'ch want? I'm in the pool!

There's a Louise here to see you... And she's steamed!

Okay... Where is she?

My name is Louise, but my FR ID is peacebaby... And just as I thought! You bring a knife to a gunfight!

I've got a gun, honey!

The let's get to it!

Fine with me...

Aren't we going to stop them?

I ain't getting in the middle of that! No way...

There they GO!

...SNAP!

...CRACKLE!!!!

...POP!!!!!!!!!!!!

She wasn't so tuff! Was she?

Well, that $50 you owe me... Shouldn't have bet on Leela. She's a great little scrapper, but she has a glass jaw.

My gracious peace, I can't leave you alone for a minute. Clearly 'peacebaby' is a misnomer.

Honey, I'm so old I remember the first 'live' run of "The Honeymooners!"

I love you, baby!

And my Mom often had Cagney over for breakfast...

And our milkman... was named Shemp!

Re: Kennedy jokes never get old for me!

And I was going to invite you for lunch and a sail, Millee... No, Abdulla, you were invited as lunch.

And Bill was going to play a ditty for us...

I wouldn't eat those two even if they came stuffed with favar beans and a five hundred gallon barrel of chianti...

Gad! Tony! That would gag... ...ME!

And I'll eat just about anything that is squishy and has a nice decaying odor...

Now, Gramps... Cool down... Just pull up a beanbag and take a swig of these perfect martinis...

Or get a brew from the cooler...

And the barbecue is ready! Dig in...

Re: right...but rabbits are fine?

I agree, xp!

Once you go duck... You never go back!

Did dat just go over me head?

No, it made perfect sense...

Well, it did leave me a little in the dark...

Okay... Okay! I did a rabbit once. Heavens! It was for a part in a film!

Well... I'd never do that for a film part... I have my honor and good taste to consider!

That's it! No soup for anyone!

Allegra! Allegra?

What you want, #2?

Breakfast is ready... Stop playing with those tanks and get in here! The new edition of the Slimes is out...

And I'm tired of cooking, so what do you want this morning? Ham? Eggs? Hash-browns? Lite beer or a Brandy Cooler?

#2? What are we going to do with that gal? She won't mind for shucks!

Yeah Bender... But she's so cute in the morning!

Well... And am I chopped liver in the morning?

All my girls are babes! Each and every one...

Even me? In this old thing...

No peace, I'm sorry. You definately need a chaperone. Sigh...I guess I'll reluctantly volunteer to keep an eye on you when your out.


Okay, first we'll hit the liquor stores, then we'll see what all-male revues are in town, and then...
