| FUTURAMA CUTS � SEASON 1 9: HELL IS OTHER ROBOTS THE ONE WHERE After a Beastie Boys concert, Bender�s friend Fender (an amplifier) offers him electricity � which is like a drug to robots, and sure enough Bender becomes an addict to this process, unfortunately known as �jacking on�. After hitting rock bottom, he finds religion and becomes a reformed character. But he�s unbearable like that, and Fry and Leela can�t let it stay that way� -------------------------------------------- DEFINITE CUTS / POSSIBLE CUTS BY C4 (most of these aren�t completely accurate, but are pretty close) -------------------------------------------- Channel 4 missed out the opening gag message �Condemned by the Space Pope�, just leaving no joke. Huh? -------------------------------------------- Fender takes Bender into a lonely hallway elsewhere in the building, through a few beaded doorways, into a dark, musky room inhabited by several dark and musky (and quite crummy-looking) robots. The robots are all plugged into a bubbling vase-like device in the center, periodically receiving jolts of electricity from it: BENDER Hey, what kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker. FENDER Don't be a drag, man. We're jackin' on! (Fender plugs himself in, and enjoys a jolt of pleasure) FENDER (offering a wire to Bender) Want a jolt? BENDER (sheepishly) Uh, hey, I'm no square, but isn't that counter-indicated by my operations manual? (the other robots laugh) FENDER Come on, Bender, grab a jack! I told these guys you were cool. BENDER Well ... if jacking on will make strangers think I'm cool ... I'll do it! -------------------------------------------- After a lengthy session on electricity, Bender�s fallen on the pavement: PREACHER Wretched sinner unit! The path to Robot Heaven lies here, in the Good Book 3.0. (he holds up a floppy disk containing the Good Book) BENDER Hey, do I preach to you when you're lyin' stoned in the gutter? No, so beat it! (Preacher shakes his head and leaves) -------------------------------------------- As soon as Bender gets to work, he dashes into the bathroom for more electricity: LEELA If I didn't know better, I'd almost think he was abusing electricity. FRY Bender? No way. (the lights dim for a moment) I definitely would've noticed something. (Leela knocks on the restroom door) LEELA Bender, why are you spending so much time in the bathroom? Are you jacking on in there? BENDER No! Don't come in! -------------------------------------------- After a trip to Sicily 8, the Mob Planet: FRY I know Big Vinny said he was giving me the "kiss of death," but I still think he was gay. LEELA Did he use his tongue? FRY A little. -------------------------------------------- After Bender�s taken the ship through an electrical storm to get another high, nearly destroying it: LEELA Bender, we didn't mind your drinking or your kleptomania or your pornography ring. ZOIDBERG In fact, that's why we loved you. LEELA But this electricity abuse crossed the line. You almost killed us! FRY And you made me feel like a jerk for trusting you. It's just like when my friend Richie swore he wasn't taking drugs, then he sold me my mom's VCR ... and then later I found out he was taking drugs! You make me ashamed to be your friend. BENDER (sadly) Oh, you're right. I'm a lost cause. -------------------------------------------- FRY (gestures elsewhere) And there's Hookerbot 5000. She's got a heart of solid gold! H�BOT 5000 (tempting) Hey, sailing unit! BENDER Stop tempting me! For once in my life I have inner peace. FRY Pfft ... that's for losers. C'mon, sin your heart out. -------------------------------------------- In Robot Hell, the song begins: BENDER Aw, crap ... singing! Mind if I smoke? (the Devil grabs Bender's cigar away, and rubs the flame out against Bender's chest. Singing begins) -------------------------------------------- C4 also cut some of the song: DEVIL Fencing diamonds, fixing cockfights, Publishing indecent magazines. You'll pay for every crime, Knee-deep in electric slime. You'll suffer 'till the end of time, Enduring tortures, most of which rhyme. Trapped forever here in Robot Hell!
