-->'''Smitty:''' The old dine-and-dash, huh? My daddy owned a restaurant and it's punks like you who kept it from going regional. That's why I became a cop.
-->'''URL:''' Now it's payback time. Aw, yeah!

* NotSoAboveItAll: Leela usually serves as Fry's voice of reason whenever he lets something go to his head. However, when blinded she practically thinks she's Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} (with the expected but not unwelcome [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensuing]]).

* TookALevelInDumbass: Leela, on being blinded. Not in the sense that she actually becomes less intelligent, but because she stubbornly insists on still trying to fulfil her usual duties despite being blind, something that proves beyond even the usually hyper-competent Leela.

* EasilyForgiven: Despite the main characters racking up a $1,200 bill at Elzar's, he doesn't seem to care too much when Bender walks away from working off the debt after what's implied to only be a half-day or so of menial jobs. Though this can probably be justified as Elzar not wanting to cross the Robot Mafia, since Bender leaves him to work for them (either that, or Elzar just pays his staff obscenely well).
