There is a deleted scene with Fry and Leela talking before she is deafened and while he is writing the opera. It is a shippy scene which involves Fry telling Leela about how he'll ask her out and where he will take her. There may be a couple more. I can't remember, I don't think so though.

Here are all four deleted scenes from TDHAIP on my DVD. Fry: Hey Bender, as long as you know, I have a holophoner recital tuesday. Would you come see me play? Bender: Depends. Will it take place wherever I would have been anyhow and not interfere at all with whatever I'll be doing? Fry: No, but I'd really like to have somebody there. Please?
Mrs Mellonger: Phillip, Phillip, Phillip. I'm afraid you have what musicians call "stupid fingers". (Does the hand motion) I'm afraid if you will not practice to make up for them, then, Mr Bender! I simply cannot teach your child! Bender: Then good-day madam!
Robot Devil: Give me back my hands! These things are always touching me in places! Fry: Hehehe. Yeah, they get around. But I'm afraid we had a deal. And if we don't stand by our word, what are we? Robot Devil: Well, I'm the robotic Prince of Darkness and you're some sort of moron. Well it looks like I wasted a bus trip. Fry: Yes you did.
Leela: I've been a fool. A fully justified, prudent fool. Fry: Leela, I feel I should give you fair warning. After the premiere, I'm planning on asking you out. You know, on a real date. Leela: What do you mean "a real date"? Fry: Well, you know. Like you see in a movie where you're supposed to care if the people die? And after that, a kiss goodnight. Leela: That sounds nice. (Takes Fry's hands) Aaugh!

*Bumped for DVD release*
When I first saw this, I was hardly impressed. However, after another viewing since (plus a few more after getting the DVD), I've completely changed my opinion. I guess I just didn't appreciate it the first time. The pacing seemed too fast, and the whole experience felt like there was too much plot in too little time. Another viewing let me enjoy it quite a bit more.
The plot is extremely clever, and the opera is one of the greatest scenes ever. I mean, it had brilliant lyrics, great humor, people in (hilariously) crappy robot costumes, and Leela in a sexy opera dress. Mmm.
One particular bit from the opera was running through my head all day today...
Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon the woman that I idolize or the hands of 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. Than he probably won't want me dating her
Another thing I really like about it is how the ending really left things open. It left you to guess what happened to the characters, which was IMO the perfect way to end the show.
Grade: A+

I jsut saw it yesterday on CN. Great end, blah blah A+ et cetera et cetera et cetera.
Besides all that, is it just me or is Leela's singing line about her "wymsical gender" an extrodinarily out-of-character remark?
But, I suppose, when you're trying to ad-lib a ryming opera with NO previous musical training besides drums, you just have to go with the flow, even if a few things don't quite come out right.
Another thing, I was wondering why Leela even had to go to Beezlebot to regain her hearing, with the advanced medical technology avalible to them. But when you consider that Leela is working a below minimum wage job, and is severly, severly in debt to her employer from a shipment of popcorn she destroyed, she probably has no real hope of ever being able to afford having her ears repaired. Unless Fry uses his newly aquired money for that.
Jsut over-analysing things out load.

Yea, she probably could have gotten her hearing with modern science... but it would taking away from the Irony of the whole episode.

Originally posted by leelaholic: Originally posted by DrJohnZ: after getting the DVDs I watched the deleted scenes of this episode. they shoulod have kept the longer version when Leela and Fry were on the PE balcony I disagree. If they left that in, it would have told you what happened after the opera. Like I said, it's best that it ended with us not knowing what happens next. and I disagree with that if it was the final episode, it would have been nice to know what happened to the two of them. But D.Cohen did say they wern't completely sure if it would be the last episode. Oh well, (I said it before and I'll say it again many times) Here's to hoping Groaning will save the show... in some miraculous way.

Maybe next he'll be slating the Simpsons and giving every episode in season 16 an F when everyone else here that have been very critical are giving the episodes A+.

I don't actually think the deleted scene does indicate that they would be going out after the opera for sure for the following reasons; * when she touches his hands she recoils, and although Fry doesn't take a lot of notice of this, it screams harbinger of doom. * Leela starts to see past Fry's Fryishness because of his artistic soul coming forth. This is her realisation before the deleted scene. fry loses ths somewhat when the devils hands are ironically returned ( don't even correct me, because I know). The events that occur through out the rest of the ep. where Leela really starts to come around are better indicators of a possible post opera date IMO. And...I had more, but I forget, so you go.

This IS arguably the best episode of futurama. It certainly ranks near No 1 for me personally. Probably my actual favourite is 'The Sting' that being said I havent intently viewed all of Se3 ( dvd ) intently. Fry clearly EVOLVES as a character ( a person ) is you take him to be real! in this episode, along with ' the sting' and 'three hundred big boys' where he has his caffeine induced enlightenment! anyone how has had a drug induced 'cosmic experience' will totally get this one! 'The why of Fry' is another one where it goes deeper into the depths of fry...yeh I used to think he was just a total waster. these episodes definetly take him beyond this.
