...Malfunctioning Eddie can be seen among broken robots?
Joe Klemm:
...the sea serpent body in the waters by NNYC at the beginning?
...Utah's name in 3000 is made up of the alien language?
...magnets cost $32 at Fisherman's Worf?
Jym Dyer:
... that Fry swiped the headband from the hippie skeleton?
... that Leela wears a camisole? (I had her figured for the
sports bra type.)
... that Fry's microbus went down Lombard Street, just like
the "Lisa Log" did in _The_Simpsons_ this season.
... that they forgot to have rollerskating nuns, Critical Mass
bikers, antique trolleys and cable cars, and other things
that might make you realize it's San Francisco? (The "I
Men" button was a nice touch, though.)
FishyJoe:
... The fat guy that Bender almost falls on is the same fat guy Mr. and
Mrs. Wong try to set Amy up with in 1ACV10?

The Golden Gate bridge is a hoverbridge now. Yet in [2ACV19] Fry and Bender
pass it on a joyride, and it's regular bridge, not hoverbridge.

When you see Cylon and Garfunkel take the stage, there
is only one microphone. Cylon has to bend over to share it. When they
change to a back view, there is a second microphone by Cylon.

About halfway through the chase scene, the camera angle is over Bender's
shoulder, but Fry's eyes appear in the rear-view mirror, impossible from
the angle Bender had the mirror at.

==============================================================================
Joe Klemm
Jefferson Starship was one of many names of a rock band that has been around
from the 1960's to the 1980's. First known as Jefferson Airplane, the band
scored big hits with "White Rabbit" and "Don't You Want Somebody to Love".
Years later, the band changed their name to Jefferson Starship, with the band
then dropping the Jefferson in the 1980's, when they made such hits as "We
Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now".
The futuristic state name for Nevada is a crack at what happened in the state
during the Cold War. During this time, the deserts of Nevada was the home of a
few nuclear tests in which nuclear bombs were detonated.
Jym Dyer
"Led Zeppelin" is also the name of a band from that era.
Jordan Eisenberg
Patchcord Adams mentions "Windows 3000", but in a few early
interviews, Matt Groening told us that Microsoft was among the
corporations which no longer exist in the year 3000. Or is Windows no
longer Microsoft property?

> Quotes and Scene Summary {}
==============================================================================
% View of NNYC. Fry and Bender are walking down the street.
Bender: [Singing] Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride uh-huh, u-huh.
Well, Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride... blah-blah-blah...
something, Bender is great. Froggie went a courtin' and Bender is
great, uh-huh, uh-huh.
% They reach a construction site with a sign
%
% NNYC
% HOLE
% PROJECT
%
% A hover excavator is taking out dirt out of an already pretty big hole. A
% bag of "NEW! FAT FREE POTATO CHIPS" falls out of one of the hauls.
Fry: Oh, my God! [Picks up the bag] They dug up a bag of Olestra chips
from my time.
% Bender eats one chip. Rumbling is heard inside him, he groans, and several
% bricks fall out of the area of his shiny metal ass.
Fry: There must be layers and layers of old stuff down there.
% Another haul brings a VW van. Fry gasps.
Bender: What's that? One of those Led Zeppelins I've heard so much about?
Fry: No, it's old VolksWagen van. [Wipes the dirt from the window,
revealing two skeletons in hippie outfits inside] Hey, mister! Mind
if I take this old van?
Excavator
Operator: Sure. You wanna dump the corpses out of theres, it's yourses.
Fry: Yeah, yeah, I've gotten used cars before.
% To Planet Express. Fry pushes the van inside. Bender's inside drinking beer.
Leela: What's that? One of those Jefferson Starships I've heard so much
about?
Fry: It's called a van. And in light of the fact that it's not a rockin',
I invite you to come a knockin'.
Zoidberg: Wow.
Amy: Neat.
Hermes: It's a triumph of free-spirited German engineering.
Amy: Hey, the speedometer only goes up to 80. This thing can't go faster
than 80,000 miles an hour?
Fry: No, it can't, but it's got a driver's side floor and an eight track
player with genuine mono sound. [Shot of an 8-track with GROOVE PILE
'72 inside].
Prof.: Where's the device that lets you speed or slow the passage of time?
Fry: Under the seat.[Takes out bong]
% Leela turns the key in the ignition. Engine stutters.
Leela: Why won't it start?
Fry: It just needs some gas.
Prof.: Wrong again, idiot. There is no gas. Petroleum reserves ran dry in
2038.
Leela: Gas was an environmental disaster anyway. Now we use alternative
fuels.
Fry: Like what?
Leela: Whale oil.[Points to a barrel of "Mobil Dick Whale Oil"] Bender,
lift it up to the cap opener.
Bender: Oh, no. I'm not going near it. Last time, that magnetic psycho
nearly cut my head off.
Fry: Oh, right. Plus the magnet screws up inhibition unit and makes
you sing folk songs.
Bender: What? Who said anything about me. secretly wanting to be a folk
singer? How ridiculous.
Fry: Bender, if you don't open that can right now, your fear will own
you and nothing that can opener could ever do would be worse than
that.
Bender: Okay, okay. I can do this. It's time to take life by the cans.
[Goes to the barrel and picks it up]
Leela: Come on!
Hermes: You can do it.
Prof.: Go on, you dummy.
% The can opener snaps Bender up instead of the barrel and proceeds "opening"
% him.
Bender: Ahhh! [Starts singing] Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care. Oww!
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care. Oww! Jimmy cracked corn and I
don't care. Ahh!
Leela: Oh, no!
Bender: ... I don't care, 'cause the master's gone away.
Zoidberg: It's toe-tappingly tragic.
% In the hospital.
Bender: Doc, I can't move my arms and legs. What's wrong with me?
Doctor: [Sighs] This is the worst part of the job.
Bender: What is it, good news?
Doctor: Bender, your hydraulics are shot. You'll never move again.
Bender: You mean...
Doctor: [To professor] I'm sorry. You'll have to get a new one.
Bender: Ah! [Sobs]
Everyone: Oh! Oh, no.
Prof.: Well, let's drag him to the curb.
Fry: Wait a minute. Bender is my best friend. We can't just dump him in
the gutter like grandma's ashes.
Bender: Oh, my life is over. I'll never know happiness again.
% A honking is heard and a robot clown rolls in.
Robot: Hello, there.
Leela: Look, Bender. It's Patch Cord Adams. He heals with the power of
laughter.
Adams: Come on, take it. [Hands Bender a baloon animal. Honks] What's
the matter, can't move your arms?
Bender: Obviously not, or I'd be strangling you right now.
Adams: Hey, here's a giggle. [Plugs a jack in "JOKEBOOK COMPUTER". The
computer shows "EXPORTING COMEDY" progress bar] Did you hear why
they are using Windows 3000 as a prison guard?
Fry: No, why?
Adams: 'Cause it always locks up. [Everyone laughs weakly]
Bender: For the love of God, somebody kick his ass!
Adams: Well, so long. Get well soon. [Looks at the chart] Oh, well... so
long , anyway.
Bender: Oh, I'm doomed. Everybody leave me alone. I don't want to be seen
this way. [Sobs]
Fry: Ah, you look so sad. You want me to send Patch Cord Adams back in?
[Bender sobs. Fry walks away]
% Bender keeps sobbing. Suddenly harmonica starts playing.
Bender: Hey, the blues. The tragic sound of other people's suffering.
That's kind of a pick-me-up.
% The doctor slides the curtains, and we see Beck's head playing the harmonica.
% Bender looks at him. The doctor welds Beck's heard to a mannequin.
Bender: Wow, that was great.
Beck: You a fan?
Bender: I don't know. Let me see. [Telescopes his eyes] Oh, my God, you're
Beck! I'd get up to shake your hand and steal your wallet, but my
crappy body crapped out on me.
Beck: Don't take it so hard. I used to miss my body, too, but then I
fished this mannequin out of the 92 Cent Store dumpster.
Bender: Wow, we've sure got a lot in common, Beck. I always dreamed of
being a musician poet who transcends genres even as he reinvents
them. Just like you.
Beck: So do it, robot. It's easier than it looks.
Bender: Yeah, thanks, but it's hopeless. I'll never be a musician now.
Beck: Or, maybe you'll be the best musician ever. [Whispers to the
doctor's ear. The doctor takes out the manipulators Beck used to
play harmonica and snaps it to Bender's neck]
Bender: What's this for?
Beck: Try and scrape it across your chest like a knife on burnt toast.
[Bender strains to move the manipulators] Come on, move those arms.
Use the power of mental thinking. Make it dynamic. [Bender reaches
his chest with the manipulators and starts scraping] Yay! All right!
Congratulations, my friend.
Bender: Why, 'cause I can make annoying noises?
Beck: Exactly. I use those all the time in my music. Bender, I want you to
become my new washboard player.
Bender: All right! Go, Bender, go, Bender, go, Bender!
[End of Act One. Act Time: 6:36 Running Time: 6:36]
% Beck's hoverbus stops by Planet Express building.
Bender: Well, that's my good friend, Beck. I'm off to rock a series of
midlevel venues.
Hermes: Kudos, Bender. You got mangled and now you're a singer. Both our
dreams came true.
Fry: Hey, I have an idea. Who wants to cram in my van and follow Bender
on tour and live there in the van? [Points to the van, which is
nearby, backfiring]
Zoidberg: Oh, I don't know, Fry. I think I'm too poor to follow a band around
in a van.
Beck: [Bus honks] Come on, move it. We've got to get to the concert and
make the audience wait for it to start.
% The bus drives away. The van follows, letting out clouds of black smoke.
% Their path is tracked on the map. They arrive at SQUATTER'S CORNERS.
% Cut to Fry, Zoidberg, Leela and Amy are in a laundromat. Sign outside
% the laundromat:
%
% NO SHIRT,
% NO SHOES,
% WHAT ARE YOU
% WASHING?
%
Zoidberg: Bad news, friends. My shell ran.
Amy: Zoidberg, you idiot. My outfit. It's... it's...
Leela: Kind of cool.
Fry: Yeah, I like it.
Amy: Me, too, now that I'm used to it.
Zoidberg: Then it was all on purpose. You're lucky to have Zoidberg as a
friend. But cross me and I'll turn on you like that-- [Yells
crazily, waving his mouthflaps].
% At the concert. Beck sings.
Beck: [Sings] There's a destination a little up the road. From the
habitations and the towns we know. A place we saw the lights tun
low. The jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow pulling out jives and
jamboree handouts. Two turntables and a microphone. Bottles and
cans and just clap your hands, and just clap your hands. Where it's
at.
Bender: Got a washboard stomach and a microphone [Scrapes his chest]
Beck: That was a washboard brain.
Leela,
Fry,
Zoidberg,
Amy: Whoo! Oh, yeah.
% Amy splits to buy some food.
Amy: One bowl of jowl knuckles, please.
Peddler: That'll be three pictures of George Washington.
Amy: [Pulls money out of her pocket, it's all melted] Oh, no.
My beautiful money.
Leela: It got ruined in the wash.
Fry: Mine, too. Even my change.
Peddler: Get lost, you moneyless hippies.
HGB looking
redneck: You heard him, freaks. We don't like your type around here. [Takes
out a chart of aliens] These are the types we like.
% Outside.
Beck: Bender, that was the best 40 minute washboard solo I've ever heard.
The parts when I was awake blew my mind.
Bender: [Spots carts of broken robot rolling on tracks] Whoa, check out all
those broken robots. Howdy, fellas.
Robot 1: Oh, I don't believe my broken eyes. It's Bender, the washboard
player. Hey, man, we caught your concert from here. You rock!
Fembot: Oh,oh, Bender. Sign my chest. It's in that bin behind me.
Robot 2: Yo, brother, thanks for showing that broken robots are still useful.
Bender: Ah, hang in there, folks. I bet before you know it, you guys will
be...[The carts rolls into the building and metallic grinding
follows. A truck comes out on the other side. The building is
WINDVEXER PAPERWEIGHT COMPANY]. That is so wrong. You can't just
melt down broken robots. Not right when they're kissing my ass.
Beck: Whoa, dog, just cold chill. You know, when I'm upset, I write a
song about it. Like, when I wrote "Devil's Haicut" if was feeling
really... What that song's about?
Bender: Hey, yeah. I could write a song. With real words. Not phony ones
like "odelay."
Beck: Odelay is a word. Just look it up in the Becktionary.
% Beck's bus hovers through the dessert.
Bender: Do, de, do, do, do... I'm working on my song. Hand me the
Becktionary. [An assistant hands him a Becktionary]. No, no. The
rhyming Becktionary.
Beck: I wish I could help you raise awareness about broken robots. But
what can I do? I only weigh eight pounds.
Bender: Wait a minute. You know lots of rock stars. And most of them like
to look like they care about things. We can all get together for a
big benefit concert in San Francisco. And we can call it Bend-Aid,
after me, Bender.
Beck: And you can sing that song you're writing.
Bender: And I'll let you sing backup. But, remember who the star is. Me,
Bender.
% Tour continues. Map view. Switch to Bender writing notes at great speed.
% He looks at the notesheet and starts to cry. An assistant passes him a
% Kleenex. At the concert. Fry, Leela and Amy fish around in trashcans. Fry
% finds a bitten hotdog swarming with flies. He points at it smiling
% deliriously. Everyone runs to him. Zoidberg chops it up to equal pieces
% and everyone chomps. Cut to the tour arriving at San Francisco. At the
% "FRANCIS DRAKE hotel", Bender lies on the bed.
Bender: All right. "Hands in the air" rhymes with "just don't care." And...
finished. [Sniffs] Eck, smells something died in the wall.
Fry: Surprise!
Leela: Mind if we crash here tonight? The colors in the van are keeping
us awake.
Bender: All right. But hands off the mini bar. [Closes the door on his body]
Fry: Wow, I forgot about TV. Living free on the road you realize how better
much be life is without it. Well, let's see what's on.
On TV: Tuesday, Golden Gate Park... MONSTERS OF VAGUELY FOLKISH ALTERNA-
ROCK... ... will strum your brains out at: BEND-AID, BEND-AID,
BEND-AID! Featuring... BECK! WAILING FUNGUS! And special guest
Bender! A portion of the proceeds might go to help broken robots.
Fry: Yeah!
Zoidberg: Hooray, robots.
Amy: Bender, you're famous.
Bender: [Sniffles] Yeah.
Leela: This coming together of superstars really means a lot to you,
doesn't it, Bender?
Bender: Uh-huh. Helping my defective brothers is the first thing I've ever
cared about even the slightest bit. [Sobs] You know, when I first
got broken I thought my life was over. But look at me now. I've got
[Counts on his fingers] fame, money, groupies and it's all thanks
to being completely immobilized. [Sits up on the bed] That's why I'll
be proud [Stands up] to go up on stage tomorrow and say "Look at
me, world. I am a broken robot." [Raises his arms above his head]
Fry: Bender, you can move! You're cured!
Bender: Oh, crap! It's a miracle.
[End of Act Two. Act Time: 6:32 Running Time: 13:08]
Bender: I can move again. [Sobs] My music career is over.
Fry: Bender, I don't claim to understand the biz, but wouldn't being
able to move help your music career?
Bender: No. Don't you see? I was a hero to broken robots 'cause I was one of
them. But how can I sing about being damaged if I'm not? That's
like Christina Aguillara singing in Spanish. Wait. That's it. I'll
fake it.
% VW van drives down the windy road. Inside the van, Zoidberg clears his
% throat.
Amy: You better not do that at the concert.
Zoidberg: I can't stop. When I eat too much dirt, I get stuff in my throat.
[Clear the throat again, spits out pearls]
Amy: Ugh. You are so disgusting. I..[Gasps]
Leela: They're beautiful.
Zoidberg: Ew, you're touching them.
Amy: I've never seen pearls like this. Dr. Zoidberg, you're amazing.
Zoidberg: I am? At last. Recognition. [Clears throat again. Amy and Leela
cup their hands to get the pearls]
% At BEND-AID.
Man: Gentle hippies, put your filthy hands together for the folk stylings
of Cylon and Garfunkel. [Crowd cheers]
% Cylon and Garfunkel walk on stage.
Garfunkel: Here's a song that was beautiful when performed by my ancestor,
Art. [Starts singing] Are you going to Scarborough Fair...
Cylon: [In gravely electronic voice] Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...
Garfunkel: Remember me to one who lives there ...
Cylon: She once was a true love of mine...
% VW van pulls nearby. The door opens. Leela and Amy look at hippies around.
Leela: We're home.
Amy: Well, let's earn some bread. [Posts a sign GENUINE LOVE BEADS]
Fry: Brothers and sisters, get your love beads. Can't journey to the
center of your mind without love beads.
Woman: Wow. Look at the colors. These will go great with my soul.
Zoidberg: Glad you like them. I've been making fine jewelry for years,
apparently.
Man: I'll trade you a bad poem.
% Back to the concert
Man: And now, stand up and turn on your hidden tape recorders for... Beck.
With special guest, Bender, the Broken Robot.
Broken
Robots: [Cheer] Woo! Woo!
Fry: Bender rules.
Man: Groove on, man.
% A broken lighter robot tries to light itself, but can't.
Leela: Rock it, Bender.
Beck: [Sings] Can't you hear those cavalry drums, hijacking your
equilibrium. Midnight hags in the mausoleum...
% Later. It's getting dark, but the song still continues. Bender plays
% washboard solo. Finally, the song ends. Everyone cheers.
Beck: Thank you. That song doesn't usually last three hours but we got
into a serious thing. And then I forgot how it ended. Anyway, one
last item of business before we go.
Garfunkel: Bender, to start your foundation for broken robots here's a big
cardboard check for $14,000.
Cylon: It's been an emotional day for me.
Bender: [Sobs] I don't know what to say.
Beck: Then maybe you should sing it. Lay it down, boys.
Bender: Ladies... gentlemen... smoking heaps of machinery...[smoking
broken robots cheer] This is a song called "My Broken Friend."
[All cheer. Bender starts singing] People say my broken friend is
useless. But I say his mind is free. There's lots of things my
mangled robot friend could be...
Beck: Kick it.
Bender: Well, he could make a good hat rack.
Beck: He only has to stand there.
Bender: Or a cheap doorstop...
Beck: He doesn't need to move.
Together: Or a great, big, giant thermos
Bender: With a twist-off top.
Beck: That would be good for soup.
Bender: He could be a storage closet for outdated pants
Beck: I like 'em tight.
Bender: My broken friend could do it all.
Together: Just give him a chance.
Bender: That robot has a tragic secret that I'd like to share...
Beck: For real?
Bender: My broken friend is closer to me than an ass to a chair...
Beck: Hmm.
Bender: That robot's name I never told you...
Beck: Who's that?
Bender: You could not foresee...
Beck: Come on, give it up.
Bender: I'll said it loud and sing it proud, his name is you and me.
Don't melt me down into a crowbar...
Beck: That suffers alone...
Bender: Just 'cause I can't move my arms and legs...[Starts moving arms and
legs] Or toss me into a trash can...[Grabs the microphone and starts
dancing]
Beck: Bender, what are you doing?
Bender: Just 'cause I can't cook you ham and eggs...
Beck: What are you doing?
Bender: Don't crush me into an anchor...
Beck: Yo, what's the dealeo?
Bender: Just 'cause I can't jump and dance and sing ...
Beck: Uh... hold it. What - no... B-Bender...
Bender: I'm telling you, my broken friend, put your hands in the air like
you just don't care...
Beck: No.
Bender: I'm telling you, my broken friend can do most ...
Beck: Cut it.
Bender: Any-thing...
Beck: Cut it!
Bender: Yeah!
Beck: Cut it.
% Crowd boos.
Bender: [Looks at himself] Curse my natural showmanship.
Broken
robots: You big fat fraud. You're not really broken. But you will be
in a minute. Bum rush the stage. [Run and crawl towards the stage]
% Bender backs away, grabs the check, folds it and sticks inside himself.
% Then grabs a rope and jumps from the stage with a tarzan scream. He lands in
% the van. Switches gears and starts racing.
Woman: Oh, harsh. I didn't get my beads. [Zoidberg retches, beads fly]
Beck: You, minion, lift up my arm. [Minion lifts his arm] After him.
% They board the bus and start the chase. The classic San Francisco chase
% ensues.
Bender: Well, everyone, prepare to get your guts kicked out by folk
singers.
% The chase continues. They pass by a chinese parade with a classic
% multilegged dragon. As they chase past it, the costume is blown off,
% revealing a green multilegged caterpillar.
Caterpillar: What is this? The year of the jerk?
% They drive to Golden Gate Bridge.
Fry: Hurry, the Golden Gate Bridge. Put the metal to the pedal to the
other metal.
% Bender steps on the pedal. Beck's bus catches up to then rams the van. All scream.
Bender: Oh, no. I forgot this is a Hoverbridge.
Leela: And I forgot this isn't a Hovercar.
Fry: Is any of that a problem?
Zoidberg: Not if you've lived a life without regret. A-a-ah!
% The van enters the bridge and dives. Everyone screams.
Bender: I'll save me. [Grabs on the hanging cable]
Leela: Quick, grab his foot cups.
% And they do. The cable stretches and the van is carefully lowered to the
% ground. Everyone sighs with relief. They let go of Bender's foot cups, the
% cable springs and Bender is launched like a rocket.
Leela: Bummer.
% Cut to FISHERMAN's WORF. A fat guy and a thin girl near a souvenir stand.
Bender: Someone fat get in my way!
% He lands on the thin girl. He gets up and starts walking away only to get hit
% by Beck's bus. The bus stops.
Bender: Aw, I'm broken again. I can't move any part of me.
Beck: Good.
Bender: I'm really sorry I lied, Beck. All I ever wanted was to make music
with you. I never meant to hurt anyone or help anyone.
Beck: Bender, that's some played-out, new-jack horse crap. But I know you
don't mean it, so... apology accepted.
Bender: So, I can, uh, keep the check?
Garfunkel: Over my dead career. [Opens Bender up and takes the check]
Bender: Well, it was worth a shot. [Gets up]
% They walk way, board the bus and leave. Bender sighs. Amy, Fry, Zoidberg,
% Leela and a seal float by on the van.
Fry: Come on, Bender! If you're done scamming Beck, we're heading home.
Bender: All right. All right. Let me just do one thing to cheer myself up.
[gets a magnet "I love Men" from a souvenir stand and sticks it on
his forehead. Starts singing] Fry cracked corn and I don't care,
Leela cracked corn, I still don't care, Bender cracked corn and
he's great... Take that, you stupid corn.
