Conveying this cargo to its final destination, Bender spies Silicon Red, "the universe's greatest folk singer" at the prisoner discharge office, retrieving his belongings and preparing to depart.
Bender suddenly remembers his lifelong dream of being a folk singer and abandons Fry to chase down Red.
Bender catches up to Red and takes a picture of his guitar, with the intention of using a 3-D printer to create a perfect duplicate to help him achieve his folk musician dreams.
Bender then walks around Planet Express wearing a flannel shirt and playing his duplicated guitar.
Fry, mostly encased in carbonite after being attacked by Brutaloff, begins at this point to make periodic sarcastic comments to complain of Bender's mistreatment of him at the prison.
The audience hates it, and Red explains that Bender's song is insincere since he has not experienced a folk life himself.
When Leela echoes Red's comments, Fry sarcastically suggests Bender write a song about a heartless robot who leaves his best friend to be murdered.
In the Rusty Rail, a bar on "the wrong side of the tracks," Bender meets Big Caboose, a "steel-drivin' man workin' the Trans-Universal line".
Bender sees Caboose, who is actually a robot, not a man, as exactly the kind of exciting personality that can be used in a good folk song.
Bender refuses on the grounds of artistic integrity, as he still wishes to create "the best folk song in the universe".
