When the PE ship crashes unexpectedly, surveillance tapes reveal that Bender has been bending everything in sight, including the Professor, in his sleep. To satisfy his urges, he gets work in a Bending factory where the workers are striking. There, he meets Flexo and a fembot called Angelyne, with whom he is immediately smitten. They hit it off, and Bender decides to celebrate by taking his friends out to dinner. The Professor, meanwhile, has become very delirious due to his new bent-back angle and is very happy. At dinner, Bender sees Angelyne with Flexo and is inscensed. It turns out that they are divorced and were trying to stay friends, and he becomes very jealous. To determine whether she still has feelings for him, Bender concocts a complex plan in which he pretends to be Flexo to test her. The Robot Mafia supporting the strike catch him out with Angelyne pretending to be Flexo and throwing money around and decide to kill him. Bender seduces Angelyne as Flexo and they kiss, transferring the fake beard onto her and revealing the plan. Bender is inscensed. At the factory the next day, Bender and Flexo fight as the mafia plan to drop an unbendable girder on Flexo. They succeed, and Flexo is trapped. Angelyne announces that Bender has shown her that she still loves Flexo and, wanting to make her happy, he manages to bend the girder off him. He goes back to Planet Express, his urge to bend quashed.
Quotes:
Leela: Gentlemen, I've completed my report on the crash. Bender: Whoa! I'm not reading that crap. Summarise it in one word.
Fry: There on the screen, it's that guy you are!
Farnsworth: What an exquisite day. That azure sky, the verdant treetops. Those delightful birds with their chirp, chirp, chirp and their tweet, tweet, splat. Fry: Professor, I've never seen you so cheerful. What the hell's wrong with you? Farnsworth: Hmm, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps seeing things from a new perspective has reminded me of life's beauty. Or perhaps my new posture has caused blood to pool in the back of my brain, resulting in a mild delirium. Incidentally, you have a dime up your nose. Fry: I wish. It's a nickel.
Bender: I finally meet a nice girl with a pair of legs that don't quit unexpectedly and that jerk Flexo steals her away? It's time to kick some shiny metal ass. (He goes over to them) You degenerate hussy! I'm disappointed in you too Angleyne. Angleyne: Bender, it-it's not what you think. Bender: Oh God, then it's worse than I think.
Leela: Well, talk to her. Tell her about your feelings in an open and honest way. Fry: Yeah. Either that, or be a man.
Bender: That's right baby, I ain't your lover boy Flexo, the guy you love so much. You even love anyone pretending to be him. Angleyne: Well maybe I love you so much I love you no matter who you're pretending to be. Bender: Oh, how I wish I could believe or understand that!
Flexo: Thanks, I appreciate that. (Laughs) Nah, I'm joshing you, that was quite annoying.
