Fry realises that he can live out all his fantasies in the future, and his friends take him on a tour of the universe. He wants to be romantically linked with a celebritity, so Leela gives him the idea of downloading a celebrity from the internet. They go to 'nappster' and Fry decides on Lucy Liu, downloading her into a blank robot. He is delighted with her, as she is in love with him and loves everything he does and says. They do everything together and he becomes more and more obsessed with her. His friends are worried, and Bender doesn't like him dating a robot. They decide to confront him, showing him a video about dating robots, but he ignores them. They elect to shut down nappster.com, and they discover there that the people who own it have been stealing celebrities' heads and copying them. The crew rescue the real Lucy Liu, and the owners of (kid)nappster set an army of Lucy Lius on them, set to 'erotic assasin' mode. The LiuBots rampage through New New York, destroying everything in site. Thet follow the crew to a cinema where Fry is watching a movie with the LiuBot, who is acting normally. They run up to the projector room, where they tip tonnes of popcorn onto the bots, who eat it and begin shooting it out like bullets. Fry's LiuBot takes many kernels and trains the projector on them, causing them to explode. She is dying, and Fry sadly shuts her down, hoping he can get to know the real Lucy Liu. Mush to his immense anger, she is going out with Bender.

Quotes:

Fry: I just saw something incredibly cool. A big floating ball that lit up with every colour of the rainbow, plus some new ones that were so beautiful I fell to my knees and cried.
Amy: Was it out in front of Discount Shoe Outlet?
Fry: Yeah.
Amy: They have a college kid wear that to attract customers.
Fry: Well I don't care if it was some dork in a costume. For one brief moment I felt the heartbeat of creation, and it was one with my own.
Amy: Big deal.
Bender: We all feel like that all the time. You don't hear us gassin' on about it.
Fry: How can you people be so blasé? Here you are in the year 3000 or so, yet you just sit around like it's the boring time I came from.
Farnsworth: Boring? Wasn't that the period where they cracked the human genome, and boy bands roamed the Earth?

Fry: These new hands are great! I'm gonna break 'em in tonight.

Fry: So where's the celebrity dating place?
Leela: Let's search the web.
(They both look around)
Leela: Over there.

Fry: ...Then when I feel so stuffed I can't eat anymore, I just use the restroom, and then I can eat more.
LiuBot: You should write a book, Fry. People need to know about the- CAN EAT MORE.

Fry: You're cute!
LiuBot: You're cute!
Fry: You!
LiuBot: You!
Fry: You!
(This goes on for a while)
Farnsworth: Oh, dear! She's stuck in an infinite loop, and he's an idiot. Well, that's love for you.

An excerpt from 'Charlie's Angels III':
Alex: No! Don't open that coffin! It's ticking!
Natalie: I have to, Alex. That coffin's not going to open itself!
(The coffin opens itself, and a vampire sits up and explodes)
