Does anyone have the complete exchange of this from the first part of "Who Shot Mr. Burns"? Or a wav.
I always have trouble getting the whole thing written down.

Burns: Now, before we adjourn, gentlemen, I have one last matter of
utmost importance. I need to send this parcel with the
profit projections to Pete Porter in Pasadena. And it
absolutely, positively _has_ to be there overnight.
[hands the package to the man to his right]
Man 1: Pete Porter, pass it on. [hands it on]
Man 2: Pasadena promptly. [hand it on]
Man 3: Package to parcel processing, pronto. [hands it to Smithers]
[Smithers runs into the parcel processing room]
Smithers: Forgot prende asked for highly pressing package of power
plant profit projections for Pete Porter in Pasadena.
Attendant: Priority?
Smithers: Precisely.
-- Pressing parcel processing, "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part One"The attendant rises and rushes envelope to man at a desk. The parcel changes hands several times until Homer ends up with it. He glances at it and sprints to Mr. Burns' office.
Homer: [out of breath] Here's your package, Mr. Burns.
Burns: [sputters] My name is the return address, you senseless
dunderpate. Smithers, who is this nincompoop?
Homer: [thinking] Oh, I've worked here for ten years and my boss doesn't
even know my name! Well, that's gonna change right now! [out
loud] My name is Homer J. Simp -- ow!
[Burns pushes a red button; a 1000g weight falls on Homer]
-- son.
Burns: [muttering] Hmm, sounded large when I ordered it. [sighs] I
can't make hide nor hair of these metric booby traps.Thank you.

Still funny just reading it.
A tribute to the old FedEx commercials with John Mashita, the world's fastest talker. Classics.

Was that FedX or Purolator Courier?

It was FedEx, although at the time it was known as "Federal Express".

I always wondered why they changed their name. Does anyone know?

The abbreviation had been used unofficially for sometime (most notably in their phone number, 1-800-GO-FEDEX). It's just catchier. (Like KFC)

What does "Forgot prende asked" mean? Does it mean: "(We) forgot Prende (i.e. someone's name) asked......" ? I love that scene and "Who Shot....? p 1" has to be the best episode ever.
