• Hedonism Bot : Less reality, more fantasy. Resume the opera.

  Fry : But I can't play anymore.

  Dr. Zoidberg : Yes, you can! The music was in your heart, not your hands.

  [Fry plays off key, everyone boos] 

  Dr. Zoidberg : Your music's bad, and you should feel bad!

• 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.

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

  The Robot Devil : I cleaned them.

• Fry : [singing]  Destiny has cheated me / By forcing me / to decide upon / The Woman that I idolize / And the hands of an, Automaton /... Without these hands / I can't complete / The opera that was captivating her / But if I keep them / And she marries him / Then he probably won't / Want me dating her...

• Hedonism Bot : Ah, Fry, congratulations. Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams.

  Fry : Thank you, sir. That's exactly what I was going for.

  Hedonism Bot : You were the sole diversion in what has been a pale and unamusing season, and so I would fain commission you write an opera.

  Fry : But I've never written an opera.

  Hedonism Bot : And I've never heard one. Still, if you can keep me amused through the overture I shall consider it a smashing success.

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

  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!
