Quotes 

• The Robot Devil : Your lyrics lack subtility! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Hello, Fry. Muahahahaha! Just dropped by to make sure you're as happy with our little deal as I am... oh, give me back my hands! These things are always touching me in... places.

  Fry : Heheheh, yeah, they get around.

• The Robot Devil : This opera is as lousy as it is brilliant.

• [Robot Devil appears] 

  Bender : What up?

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Oh. Well it so happens that I'm in the mood to make a deal with you.

  Bender : Forget it. You can't tempt me.

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Really? There's nothing you want?

  Bender : Hmm. I forgot you could tempt me with things I want.

• Fry : My hands! My horrible human hands! Whoa! And what'd you do to my nails?

  The Robot Devil : I cleaned them.

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : [Robot Devil jumps out of the refrigerator]  Bender! What a surprise! For you. Finding me in the refrigerator.

  Bender : Well, at least I don't have the hiccups any more, what's up?

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : [singing]  I will marry her now and confine her to Hell / How droll! How droll! / Where Styx is a river, and not just a band / Though they'll play the reception if all goes as planned / Unless, Fry, you surrender... my hands!

• Leela : I've been a fool. A fully justified, prudent fool.

  [touches Fry's hands] 

  Leela : Aaah! They're so cold!

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : [off screen]  And yet hell is so hot!

  [laughs evilly] 

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Can I have my hands back now?

  Fry : No!

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : [off screen]  You're not nice!

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Ah, my ridiculously circuitous plan is one-quarter complete.

• TV Annoucement : Yes, now you can hear holophonor virtuoso Philip Fry play 900 of his classic themes in your own home on this two-record set. That's over 30 minutes of music for only $14.99.

  Dr. Zoidberg : Only $14.99 for a two-record set. Two records! Oh, Zoidberg, at last you're becoming a crafty consumer! Hello? I'll take eight!

• Fry : At last, I have the power to make Leela love me!

  [the Devil's hands start strangling Fry] 

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Oh, sorry. That'll wear off in a couple of days.

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : [after Bender's airhorn deafens Leela]  How delightfully ironic.

  Bender : It's not ironic, it's just mean. Take this!

  [blows horn, but it falters] 

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Out of aerosol. Also ironic.

  Bender : Oh, yeah? Well, bite my shiny, metal...

  [realizes he gave up his crotch plate] 

  Bender : Ohhh, noooooo!

• Fry : [the wheel lands on Robot Devil, much to his horror]  Robot Devil? I get your hands? Zam!

  Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Oh, what an appallingly ironic outcome!

  Bender : It's not ironic, it's just coincidental. Now fork over those lady-fingers, Cookie!

• Beelzebot, The Robot Devil : Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
