Fry: "Hello"
Machine: "Bonjour"
(Or something like that.. I don't remember verbatim)
In the pilot episode of Futurama, Fry falls into the cryogenic storage
just at midnight Dec 31, 1999. They show the countdown to New Years in
various cities around the world and the countdown is in the native
language of each. When Fry is re-awakened, its Dec 31, 2999. They show
the New Years celebration around the world again, but the countdown in
Paris is in English. Apparently Groening stuck it to the French in a
number of places in various episodes.
