Episode Quotes
Francine: Stan, what... what's going on?
Stan: You were right, Francine. I've let this ridiculous rivalry cloud my judgment. This family comes first. That's why I rented this camper to drive us all down to Mexico so Steve can have his baby.
Francine: Mexico?
Stan: That's right, Mexico. Or, as I like to call it, God's blind spot.

Roger: You set me up, Klaus! Why would you do something so awful?
Klaus: I'm German. It's what we do.

Francine: I could make potato salad.
Stan: Potato salad? Not exactly adventurous, but it gets the job done. That reminds me, we should have sex tonight.

Francine: Stan, quit spying on the neighbors.
(Stan looking at the neighbors through binoculars)
Stan: Today's the day, Francine. Today I will finally beat that smug bastard Chuck White to church. Look at him zipping up his fly like he owns the place. Well, today I get the shady parking spot. All right, Chuck still needs a tie. He's a double Windsor man, so we have a good two minutes to... (Gasps) Good God, a clip-on! Go, go, go!
Francine: Wait! My bra!
Stan: No time. Just keep your arms crossed and Jesus won't see 'em!

Stan: Damn my tiny, girlish bladder!

Steve: I touched her hand... her hand touched her boob. By the transitive property, I got some boob! Algebra's awesome!

Steve: What am I gonna do?!
Hayley: Whatever you want. You know, a pregnant boy still has the right to choose.
Stan: Not in this house he doesn't... we're Conservatives and the one way we don't like to kill things is that way.

Francine: Okay, if it means that much to you, I guess we can bring chips and dip to the wake.
Stan: Chips and dip? Oh, I tell you what, Francine. Why don't you just take this broom here and I'll bend over and grab my ankles, you lube up the handle real good and just sweep me out the door! 'Cause that's what'll happen to my chances at Deacon if the best we can do is chips and dip.

Mexican Doctor: Did you say "alien baby"?
Stan: No. I said, "Doctor's corpse found in desert."
Mexican Doctor: Oh, right. Right.



Episode Goofs
When Steve is talking to Betsy at the Deacon's wake you can see the Deacon's head in the Casket. But, when we are in a close up of Betsy, the head is not there anymore.


Stan has been adamant in the series that no one sees Roger but yet allows the 2 sweatshop managers see Roger in his milking machine.


The style of the church sign changes in the episode, it gains a metal design on the top.
It also changes places from the second tier of the flower planters to the first tier.



Then later in changes from First Episcopalian to simply Episcopalian


Steve: I touched her hand... her hand touched her boob. By the transitive property, I got some boob! Algebra's awesome!

'Transitive Property' is actually more of a Geometry term, rather than an Algebra term.


When Stan is at the bathroom window spying on Chuck White we can see Francine already has her left stocking on but ...



when Stan suddenly attempts to rush Francine out the door, she's putting the same stocking on again.


When we see the Chuck White beat Stan to the shady parking spot, there is a green car in the adjacent spot but ...



When the Whites are walking into church the car in the next spot is now blue.


Roger drops the magazine he's reading when Stan pulls his gun but it has vanished when Stan sits down to comfort Roger.


The white bag Francine drops on the floor vanishes moments later when they hear the wooden milking machine start to crack.




Cultural References
Stan: Wait! Wait! I've... I've got a stick of gum. Who likes Big Red? Huh? Who likes Big Red? Huh?

Big Red is a popular spicy/cinamin brand of chewing gum.

Stan: It's a bizarre situation. Not 8 Simple Rules, let's-keep-it-going-after-the-father-died bizarre, but close.

8 Simple Rules is a TV show, which kept running even after the actor who played the father died.
