A pharaoh to remember

Bender suffers from the fact that no one recognizes his greatness and originality.

The professor entrusts the crew of the Interplanetary Express with a new task: to deliver a huge block of sandstone to the planet Osiris 4 - a desert inhabited by inhabitants, whose way of life resembles the terrestrial Ancient Egypt . Immediately after delivery, the entire crew of the ship is taken prisoner by consignees - minions of the pharaoh Hermentotype . Now they are slaves and will build together with the rest a giant statue of the pharaoh.

Everyone, except Bender, is humiliated and depressed by his position as slaves, and he shows remarkable energy in his work and very soon gets beaten out as overseer. Hermentotype arrives at the end of the work. Having appreciated the efforts of the slaves, he wants to free them, but at the last second he is killed by a fallen piece of his own statue - his nose . The election of a new pharaoh is coming, and for this, at dawn, priests will go to the Wall of Prophecy and look for a sign. Having learned about this, Bender secretly makes his way to the Wall at night and leaves his imprint on the most visible place.

So, Bender is a new pharaoh, but the joy of Lila and Fry is premature: he forces everyone, including his friends, to erect a new statue in honor of himself, many times larger than the previous one. It is so large that the head antenna of the monument enters the stratosphere (you have to work in space suits there ), besides, the eyes of the statue must spew flame, and the mouth should say “Remember me!” ( Remember me! )

The statue is built, but Bender does not like it, and he demands to destroy it and begin to build everything anew. Here the patience of not only slaves but also the close associates of the pharaoh ends, therefore they organize an instant "change of power": they throw the swaddled Bender into the basement and declare him dead, to everyone's joy. Also, Fry and Leela are sent to the basement as the "favorite servants" of the pharaoh.

In the basement under the statue, stocks of pomegranate schnapps containing “100% alcohol ” are found. Leela offers to blow up the monument with his help to free herself, but Bender is sorry to destroy "himself." Then Fry and Leela announce a boycott to him, knowing that the robot has a very sick vanity. He really gives up quickly.

The statue is blown up, friends return home, and Bender makes plans for further conquest of the world.
