Synopsis

Fry downloads Lucy Liu's image from nappster.com onto a blank robot and falls in love with the computerized image that is programmed to love him back. His friends, who are worried about Fry, try to shut down nappster.com, and they discover that the company has actually kidnapped real celebrities. They grab Lucy Liu's preserved head and try to escape, but nappster.com sends an army of warrior Lucy Liu-bots after them. The gang holes up in a movie theater, where Fry's original Liu-bot uses popcorn to fight off the Liu-bot army. Fry erases his Liu-bot to please the real Lucy Liu, who has fallen for Bender.
