Our top story: The search for two local boys lost in the woods drags on into its third day.

That's right, Diane. Still no sign of Chris and Stewie Griffin. Here's the update from the local authorities who are overseeing the search party's efforts.

[cut to the park ranger at the forest]

PRPark Ranger

We're still very optimistic that we're gonna find these kids, and we just want to urge everyone not to give up hope.

[Joe and three other cops in the background]

Joe

All right, everyone, we are officially looking for corpses. Repeat, this is now a recovery effort. We are officially looking for corpses, so let's get back out there, bring back those dead bodies.

[two men in a car shoot Peter's back window]

What the hell was that about, who were those guys!?

Joe

I don't know but I'll tell you this, I saw one of them back at the bar in Stoolbend.

You think they were following us?

Joe

Either that or they got a grudge against our back windshield.

Aw, Joe, that's so dumb.

[Peter, Joe and Quagmire are all in a Japanese Zero with Quagmire flying it. Joe and Peter admire the view from above]

Joe

Whoa! Quahog looks beautiful from up here!

Yeah, this thing handles pretty smooth, doesn't it? Feels right. [loses his smile] Feels like... something I was kinda meant to fly, y'know?

Hey, there's Quahog Harbor!

[Some naval vessels are shown]

Joe

Look at all those old naval vessels!

Yeah... look at them all... [suddenly, he starts taking the plane to fly downward]

Whoa, whoa, easy, Quagmire. What are you doin'?

I dunno, Peter. It feels like... something just awakened inside me. I can feel my grandfather's Japanese blood coursing through my veins... [lowers the lever to take the plane down faster, scaring the crap out of Joe and Peter]

Joe

[scared] QUAGMIRE, WHAT THE HELL'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!?

[also scared] WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS!?

Shut up, round eye! [makes the plane do barrel rolls]

OH MY GOD, STOP, QUAGMIRE, I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!

Joe

PLEASE DON'T KILL US!!!

帝国空軍の誇りと名誉、俺の先祖のために俺は逝くぞ!万歳!!! (I DO THIS FOR THE HONOR OF THE IMPERIAL AIR FORCE AND FOR MY HONORABLE ANCESTORS; BANZAI!)

OH GOD!!!

Joe

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[The Japanese Zero is near a naval vessel's plane landing pad, getting ready to crash it. Peter and Joe scream in horror.]

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY CALL THIS IN MY COUNTRY!?

PJPeter and Joe

WHAT!?

PAYBACK!

[Quagmire lifts the lever up and avoids hitting the ship. The trio continue their ride as they ride across the ocean. Peter and Joe are completely scared crapless out of what happened. They take deep breaths.]

What the hell was that!?

PRANK'S ON YOU, (censored)! I'm not Japanese!

You're not?

No! THAT WAS FOR MAKING ME HAVE SEX WITH JOE, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!

[turns to Joe, surprised] You guys actually had sex?

Joe

Yeah, I kinda went rouge with that one.

Mr. Swanson, can I ask you a personal question? What is it like having a disability?

Joe

Well, it isn't easy. But it's like we handicapped say: "When life gives you lemons, make leg-o-nade.

I guess I can relate to that. I mean, sometimes it's really hard being me, so when life gives me lemons, I guess I just make Meg-o-nade.

Joe

That sounds disgusting.

[singing] Good morning, USA! I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna be a wonderful day! The sun and and the sky has a smile on it’s face! And she’s shining the solute to the American race! Oh boy, it’s swell to say “Good Morning, USA!

Good Morning, USA!

Guys, what the hell am I gonna do? She can't marry that bastard. He's just gonna keep beating her and he's gonna beat the kid too. God, I wish she'd never met Jeffery Fecalman.

You know, I was thinking... Wait, what?

What?

That's his name?

Yeah.

Huh-larious. But you know what, I was thinking this afternoon, what the hell happened to the days where a guy does something like that to a girl, and a bunch of us guys get together and just go kick his fucking ass?

Joe

Boy, that'd be satisfying.

Well, why not?

What do you mean?

The three of us, we go over there and we do what's right. We kill the bastard.

Joe

Woah, woah, Quagmire. You know, I could arrest you just for saying that.

You know what else you can get arrested for? Soliciting a rooster.

[cutaway to a man and a rooster near a farm]

MMan

I don't know what this "cock-a-doodle-doo" thing is, but it sounds gay and scatological. [pulls out dollar] I'm in.

RRooster

You're about to have a neat day.

[back to the scene]

Joe

Quagmire, you're talking about murdering a guy. It doesn't matter what he's done, it's still murder.

No, Joe, it does matter what he's done! These kinds of guys don't change! Y-You think they ever suddenly wake up and realize the error of their ways and clean up their act? NO! They just keep ruining everyone's lives, and the world is better off without them!

Joe

It's against the law, Quagmire, and that's the end of it. [hears Brenda screaming in fear, the three look out the window].

WHAT THE HELL?! DID YOU CHANGE THE CHANNEL WHILE I WAS GOING TO GET A BEER?!

BBrenda

Oh yeah, I'm sorry honey. I just wanted to see who was on Letterman.

WE'RE WATCHING LENO, YOU BITCH!

BBrenda

I'm so sorry!

HIS SOFT GENTLE HUMOR CONNECTS EFFORTLESSLY WITH MY MAINSTREAM CAPABILITIES! [Brenda screams as Jeff hits her].

Joe

Let's waste this dick.

Joe

Okay, let's pick teams; I'll be a captain and, uh... Mayor West, you could be the captain.

All right, I pick you.

Joe

You can't pick me, I'm a captain.

[cut to living room where an older West is surrounded with seven kids]

No-one ever stood up for me like that before; I respected him thereon out.

C1Child 1

That's a great story, Grampa.

C2Child 2

I didn't like it.

[many years later; a much older West is surrounded with twelve kids]

None of my grand children have ever disliked one of my stories before; from then on, he was my favorite.

C3Child 3

Well. I don't like that story, Great-Grampa. [West stands up, and electrocutes the boy who disintegrates into dust]

[breaks fourth wall] Future old people are wizards.

[a police cruiser pulls up to Peter, Joe and Quagmire]

Oh, thank God. Cops.

Joe

Oh, good. You guys can still catch Briggs! He's headed that way!

C1Cop #1

We're not here for him. [the two officers draw their pistols] We're here for you guys.

C2Cop #2

You're under arrest for interfering with a police investigation.

Joe

What?!

[Cop #1 handcuffs Joe]

[as Cop #2 handcuffs him and Quagmire] Yeah, what the hell? You should be arresting the real criminals, like switchblade welding white guys from movies and TV who don't talk like normal people talk!

[scene cuts to a 50s-like thug mugging an old lady and threating her with his switchblade]

STSwitchblade Thug

Easy, mama. Hand over that purse, and everything will be real cool, you dig?

Joe

Quagmire, you should never meet one of those sex operators.

[Impatiently] Yeah that's what I said... I wouldn't do it!

Joe

Good. Don't.

[while Peter, Quagmire and Joe are about to skydive]

Whoa, is that Harrison Ford?

Yeah, it said in the brochure that he assists with all the jumps.

FFord

[while throwing the passengers off the plane] Get off my plane! Get off my plane! Get off my plane!

Oh look, he even brought Calista Flockhart with him.

["Calista" is revealed to be a piece of paper flying in the wind]

Joe

Uh, Peter, I think that's just a piece of paper.

Good, cuz she looks fat.

FFord

[throws Peter out the plane] Get off my plane! [throws Quagmire out the plane] Get off my plane! [throws Joe off his wheelchair and out the plane] Get off my plane!

[in a deep voice] I even won a deep voice contest with Joe.

Joe

[in a deep voice] I heard you coming.

I made myself heard.

Joe

Where have you come from?

I've come from where I've been.

Joe

You still riding with that mangy polecat, Fletcher?

Fletcher met the long arm of the law at the wrong end of a shotgun in the deep end of a grave at the far end of a dead-end road.

RReferee

Winner!

[Peter and Joe pound on the door of a storage unit while searching for Quagmire]

Joe

[muffled sounds from Quagmire are heard]

Oh, he's eating. [shouts at the door] We'll come back when you're done eating!

Now this is a gun without safety. [shoots Quagmire, who screams in pain] Quite the difference, huh?

[angrily] DAMN IT, PETER, YOU SON OF A BITCH, YOU SHOT ME!

Joe

Oh, my God! Peter, that must be the dumbest thing you've ever done!

No. The dumbest I ever did was open that can of whup-ass.

[Cutaway to Peter opening said can. An arm pops out and repeatedly punches Peter in the face]

Lois, why did you buy this?!

It was on sale.
