Episode Quotes |
| |
Fry: That could be my beautiful soul sitting naked on a couch. If I could just learn to play this stupid thing.
Bender: Oh, but you can! Though you may have to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. And by devil, I mean Robot Devil. And by metaphorically I mean get your coat. | Robot Devil: This opera's as lousy as it is brilliant! | Robot Devil: Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry! | Fry: My hands! My horrible human hands! And what'd you do to my nails?
Robot Devil: I cleaned them. |
