Lois

Oh, I wonder how your father's first day of work went.

[Peter drives up to the kitchen window and beeps the car horn]

Dad? What the hell are you doing!?

[drunk] Uh, yeah, hey buddy. Uh, I'll have a triple cheese-burger and a large fries and uh...do you sell pants?

Hey, how much for that fat guy in the circle? I don't see a price tag on that.

That's you.

Oh, oh, embarrassing. Eh, okay. Well in that case, I'll take the rest on a gift certificate.

[at home]

Lois

Oh, sweetie, you look so handsome on TV!

I can't believe you actually won! But I suppose it's not the strangest thing I've seen on a game show...like when Adam West was on "Jeopardy!".

[cut to "Jeopardy!"]

TTrebek

All right, players, the answer once again is, "It was the first spacecraft to land on the surface of Mars." Adam, what was your response? [West reveals his response; Trebek reads closely] "Kebert Xela." [groans; disappears]

Only saying his name backwards can send him back to the fifth dimension where he belongs.

Lois

[taking a pregnancy test] Okay, 1 more minute, and then if there are two pink lines...

Oh God, I hope you're not pregnant. We can't afford another kid. We already got Chris, Stewie, Richie, Joanie, Greg, Marsha, Bobby, Jan, Mike Seaver, Carol Seaver, Boner, Urkel, Mr. Furley...

Peter, those aren't your kids. That's the Nick at Nite lineup.

Blanka, Zangief, Chun-Li, Guile, E. Honda...

That's Street Fighter.

Red, blue, green...

Those are colors.

(after Lois has recovered from her heart attack) Well, Mrs. Griffin, you rest up for a few days, and you'll be just fine.

Lois

Thank you, Doctor. I've realized now that eating is not the way to solve my problems. You hear that, Meg?

For your information, Mom, I don't eat to solve my problems. I cut myself. Is that better?

Lois

Chris, we all love your hat.

Thanks, Mom! [to Dr. Hartman] Hey, doc, what did you do with my mom's fat?

Well, we stored it all in this storage room. [opens up a closet to show Peter with his pants off kissing a bag of fat]

Uhhhh...it's exactly what it looks like.

[Peter uses flare gun and gives out parachutes]

Lois

Peter, these are parachutes! What the hell are we going to do with parachutes?

[Scene shifts to Peter in a scuba suit]

They were to distract you while I put on the one scuba suit.

S4 Untitled Griffin Family History
View quote →

The Griffin family history is a rich tapestry. But, since we're gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you: I did not care for The Godfather.

Lois

What?!

Did not care for The Godfather.

How can you even say that?

Didn’t-didn’t like it.

Lois

Peter, it’s so good- it’s like the perfect movie.

This is what everyone always says- everyone always says [imitates various voices telling him they also disagree]

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, I mean- ROBERT DUVALL!

I know- look, fine, fine actor, did not like the movie.

Why not?

Couldn’t get into it.

Lois

Explain yourself, what didn’t you like about it?

It insists upon itself, Lois.

Lois

What?

It insists upon itself.

Lois

What does that even mean?

‘Cause it has a valid point to make, it’s insistent!

It takes forever gettin’ in, you spend nearly six-and-a-half hours and then- you know I can’t even finish the movie; I’ve never even seen the ending.

You’ve never seen the ending?!

Well how can you say you don’t like it if you haven’t given it a chance?

Lois

I agree with Stewie, it’s not really fair.

I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to the scene where all the guys are sittin’ around in the easy chairs-

Lois

Yeah, that’s a great scene. I love that scene.

I have no idea what they’re talkin’ about; it’s like they’re speaking a different language- that’s why I lose interest.

They’re speaking Italian!

Lois

The language they’re speaking is a language of subtlety, something you don’t understand.

I love The Money Pit. That is my answer to that statement.

Lois

Exactly.

Well, there ya go.

Lois

Whatever.

I like that movie, too.

S4 Untitled Griffin Family History
View quote →

Peter, how do you respond to the accusations that you were responsible for the series cancellation?

Well, the show had been on for a while, and uh, I was talking to Alan Alda, and, uh, he said the same thing that, uh, Doc Cosby told me: That it was my face out there, and I should take creative control. So I did. And we pushed the envelope creatively, and I stand by my work.

[cut to Lois and Cleveland dancing to tribal-like music. Cleveland is holding a bleeding chicken]

Peter, can we cut? This isn't working for me.

Hey, who yells "cut", Cleveland?! The only one who yells "cut" is the director!

Look, if you want me to fuck this chick, I'll fuck her, but don't make me go through all this bullshit! You're showin' a real ugly side, Griffin!

[Stewie walks in, wearing a tribal skirt and a drum for some reason]

Did I miss my cue?

[in the bar]

Although I probably pushed things too far when I did the incest episode.

[cut to Lois sitting on the couch; Chris walks in]

[nervously] Oh, uh...hi, Mom.

Lois

[in a shaky voice] Hi, Chris... [they both have a shameful look on their faces]

[in the kitchen with his head down, pounding his fist on the table every time he says 'wrong'] WRONG! It's WRONG!

Peter, is there anything else you want to say?

Yeah, I got something to say. [stands on a stool] You know, we kid around a lot here, but the truth is, we care about each other. And we're excited to be back, because we wanna address some serious issues and, you know, do something we can all be proud of. [Peter farts; everyone laughs]

Lois

[laughs] Oh, Peter!

Hehehehehe! Still got it! [the scene freezes, and the camera zooms out to reveal the Griffins' living room, where the scene is shown on a TV]

That was me. I used to think flatulence was something to laugh about. Truth is, 300,000,000 Americans a day expel gas through their anus. To learn more about flatulence, you can visit my ass. [farts again, then laughs] Just yankin' ya. [scene fades to black for a moment, then back in again; Peter farts once more]

Lois

Peter, my God, you look terrible. What happened?

[slowly] I was raped.

Lois [chuckles] What?

Dr. Hartman violated me. He took my innocence.

Lois

[chuckles harder] What? [Peter whispers in her ear; annoyed] Peter, that's a prostate exam. It's an important part of a physical for men your age.

You sound just like him! [runs off, sobbing]

Lois

Fuckin' idiot.

Lois

So, how was work today, Meg? [Peter angrily raspberries] Peter, you lost your job because of the Super Store. You shouldn't blame Meg. [Peter angrily raspberries again] And you can stop making that fart sound every time someone says "Meg."

[Peter angrily raspberries yet again] So, how was your day exploiting the town's resources, Meg? [Peter angrily raspberries again]

[laughs] Meg! [Peter angrily raspberries again] MEG! [Peter angrily raspberries even louder] Meg! Meg! Meg! Meg! Meg! Meg! Meg! [Peter angrily raspberries 7 times; quietly] Meg... [Peter angrily raspberries quietly]

I'm not gonna sit here and take this! I'm the only one in this family who has a job! [Peter whispers into Brian's ear]

Yeah, like she'd get paid for that.

What did he just say to you?

Nothing. There was-- It's like if you-- Forget it. It's nothing, Meg. [Peter raspberries again]

[Peter lights a bunch of firecrackers and holds it in one hand, showing it to Quagmire]

Quagmire, check it out! I took ten M-80s and stuck 'em all together. I call it "Peter Griffin's Bunker-Bustin'-Mega-Ultra-Super-" [the firecrackers explode all at once in his hand, knocking him down to the ground; screams; holds up his fingerless hand to everyone] HOLY CRAP! [he, the rest of the Griffins (barring Stewie), and Quagmire all scream in shock]

Lois

OH, MY GOD! YOU BLEW OFF ALL YOUR FINGERS!

[enters] What happened? [sees Peter's hand; shocked] OH, MY GOD!

You know, no huge hurry, but I'm sorta outta juice over here. [taps his empty cup] Bone dry.

[finds one of the missing fingers on one of the wheels of Joe's wheelchair] There's one of Dad's fingers!

We have to hurry! I learned in biology, if you get 'em back soon enough, they can be reattached!

[enters with another of Peter's fingers in his hair] What's all the commotion?

S5 Whistle While Your Wife Works

[Lois is sitting on the couch reading a book when Peter calls her from outside]

Lois, can you come out here for a second?

[Lois opens the door and sees Peter sitting on top of a giraffe]

Hey, Lois can you run inside and get me some oranges or whatever it is these things eat?

Lois

Peter, what is that!?

Uh, this would be a giraffe, Isaac Newton. I stole it from the zoo. With Mayor West sending all the cops away, everybody can do whatever they want.

Lois

Peter I don't care what Mayor West has done, you can't just break the law.

Sure I can, I've been doing it all week.

Lois

Peter you take that thing back where it belongs immediately!

Alright, I guess we gotta go back to the zoo, Alison Janney. Alison Janney?

[the giraffe's head is seen peeking into Quagmire's house]

[from inside the house] Good morning, honey. Oh, yeah, that feels so good. Wait, HEY, HEY, HEY! What the hell?! You're not the same giraffe from last night! Get outta here!

[the giraffe runs backward, kicking its hind feet into Cleveland's house. Cleveland is, once again, taking a bath]

What the hell?! No, no, no, no, no, NO! [Cleveland and his bathtub fall to the ground] I gotta stop takin' my baths durin' Peter's shenanigans...

[Stewie opens Meg's birthday presents]

Let's see what else we've got here. The first season of "Sister, Sister" on DVD?

You're welcome.

Lois

Stewie, what are you doing?! You can't open Meg's gifts!

These are mine, you hear me? MINE!

Lois

Oh God, not the "mine" phase. I've been dreading this day.

I'm entitled to these things, Lois. Especially after I got shafted by that Asian Santa at the mall.

[cutaway]

ASAsian Santa

What you want? What you want for Christmas?

Um... I was thinking one of those old time-y...

ASAsian Santa

Too late! Take too long! Sad Christmas! [he throws Stewie off his lap and an Asian kid is put on it] What you want?

AKAsian Kid

Fire truck!

ASAsian Santa

What color?

AKAsian Kid

Red!

ASAsian Santa

Next!

AKAsian Kid

[As he is thrown off Santa] AHHH!

Chris Where are we going?

Who cares? As long as it's away from those bloody church fanatics.

Lois

We're goin' to Texas. We can stay at my sister Carol's place until this blows over.

Texas? We're going to Texas in search of religious tolerance? That's gonna be like trying to get Sneakers O'Toole to take his sneakers off.

[cutaway]

SOSneakers O'Toole

I'm not takin' my sneakers off / I am Sneakers O'Toole.

M1Man #1

Hey! Take those sneakers off!

SSneakers

No!

M1Man #1

Take 'em off, I said!

SSneakers

No! [runs off]

M2Man #2

Ah, let him go. We'll never catch him. Not in these shoes.

SSneakers

I didn't take my sneakers off / I'm still Sneakers O'Toole.
