Act I:
Cubert and Dwight are dreaming of imitating anything they see on TV, particularily anything on All my Circuits, like amnesia which seems to have every character in its grip. As Calculon is throwing a big birthday party on screen, Cubert wants to have a big party too - but do clones even have birthdays? Professor Farnsworth says no, but he concedes that they can celebrate the day he scraped the cells for the cloninbg process off his back - thirteen years ago next week. Around this time it will be Dwights birthday too, so Hermes has the idea of combining both events in one party at the office and writing it off as business expense. Meanwhile, on "All my Circuits", Antonio Calculon Jr. is having a technical breakdown, instead the popular show "Everybody loves Hypnotoad" is put on. Dwights and Cuberts party is not a success, no one has turned up except the crew, their families and Tinny Tim, but Bender brings the news that All my Circuits is holding an open casting call for a child robot to replace Antonio Calculon Jr. and that he is intending to take it. At the audition, Bender boos out every competitor which makes Calculon reject them, and when it is Benders turn, he is accepted because Fry and Leela are cheering madly, despite the fact that Bender can't act worth a damn.
