Loretta's plans for delightful evening of refinement and cultural edification at the opera has once again been ruined by Leroy's aggressively hostile attitude towards all forms of entertain that aren't football games. Despite the best efforts of the performer, her solo is drowned out by Leroy's curmudgeonly complaints about receiving a speeding ticket while en route (it looks like those police tails are starting to pay off). Given the Lockhorns' posh private balcony seats, Loretta really must have gone all out in planning the evening and truly had her heart set on enjoying the show. It makes the victory for Leroy all the more impressive. Leroy gets the point.

Even the Immortal Bard is not immune to Leroy's grumpy complaints. As soon as the theater patrons shuffle out Leroy unleashes his brief but direct criticism of the show; thus demonstrating that brevity truly is the sole of wit. If even Shakespeare can't escape Leroy's disapproval, what hope is there for any other playwright? One odd detail I noticed about today's scene is that Leroy seems to be wearing the same weird blue smock that he is usually seen wearing while commuting to work. Perhaps he had to directly meet Loretta at the theater after work? While Loretta does look disappointed, I don't think there's enough here to take it out of push territory. It's officially a push.

Is it just me or does the out of whack visual perspective of this scene seem to indicate that the Lockhorns are either sitting right up front in their little bath tub shaped balcony or they're watching a performance of freakish giants. Well, in any case, it's another night at the opera for Loretta ruined by Leroy's lack of sophistication. She must suffer from some sort of delusion where she thinks that enough agonizing nights at the theater will eventually lead to Leroy developing some sort of appreciation for it. It's quite sad really, sort of like battered housewives who think they can change their man...except with operas. Leroy gets the point.
