MEMELITH ONLY · ALPHA SIGNAL01 THE LORE
The scene comes from Futurama's first-season episode 'A Big Piece of Garbage,' where Farnsworth repeats 'To shreds, you say?' during a phone call. The line remained an evergreen reaction phrase; the 2026 'smoove off' wording is a current slang substitution rather than a separate canonical family.
