Speaker B
A savior from the stars, or something stranger still, or just a lonely, dully-starring child.
Speaker C
Amy, Fry's looking at me. What am I supposed to be feeling?
Speaker C
Ah.
Speaker A
Leela, Leela, Leela, save him, save Fry, save Fry, God, Leela will devour him, as for me, I must be off to have my doctor check this cough. Goodbye.
Speaker A
To win Leela's heart with the hull of owner's art, I need hands of transcendental quickness.
Speaker D
Well, I don't see any danger in gambling with a stranger, for my head is of a most amazing thickness.
Speaker D
I'm stupider, I'm stupider, I'm stupider than you, I'm stupider than you in every way. Stupider!
Speaker C
Bah, this opera is as lousy as it is brilliant.
Speaker C
Gah!
Speaker A
Ooh, your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry.
Speaker C
Look, what do you want?
Speaker A
I want my hands back.
Speaker A
Never!
Speaker C
A deal's a deal, even with a dirty dealer.
Speaker A
Very well.
Speaker A
Then I'll take what I want from Leela.
Speaker C
Whoa!
Speaker A
Leela has promised me her hand.
Speaker C
Fry, you do not understand.
Speaker C
I should have revealed I'd been deafened by Bender, the shame.
Speaker C
The shame.
Speaker C
But I feared you'd stop writing this musical splendor.
Speaker C
Deception's the curse of my whimsical gender.
Speaker C
He gave me mechanical ears.
Speaker C
Effective, though just a bit garish.
Speaker C
In return, without shedding a tear, I agreed that I'd give him my hand.
Speaker A
In marriage!
Speaker C
What?
Speaker A
You'll give me your hand in marriage.
Speaker D
Is this really happening or just being staged?
Speaker C
It can't be real.
Speaker D
Not if Leela isn't engaged.
Speaker C
That isn't what I meant, that isn't what I signed.
Speaker D
You should have checked the wording in the fine.
Speaker D
Print.
Speaker C
I'll give you my hand.
Speaker D
In marriage.
Speaker A
The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention.
Speaker A
Now that is.
Speaker A
Irony.
Speaker A
I will marry her now and confine her to hell.
Speaker A
How droll.
Speaker A
How droll.
Speaker A
As Styx is a river and not just a band.
Speaker A
Though they'll play our reception if all goes as planned.
Speaker A
Unless Fry, you surrender my hands.
Speaker C
Oh!
Speaker D
Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon.
Speaker D
The woman that I idolize or the hands of an automaton.
Speaker D
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.
Speaker D
Bravo!
Speaker A
Bravo!
Speaker D
Encore!
Speaker D
I can't believe the devil is so unforgiving.
Speaker A
I can't believe everybody's just admitting.
Speaker C
Oh!
Speaker D
By the power vested in me by the state of New York.
Speaker C
No!
Speaker C
Stop!
Speaker C
Take my hands.
Speaker D
You evil metal dork!
Speaker C
Ah!
Speaker C
Please don't stop playing, Fry.
Speaker C
I want to hear how it ends.
