  Episode Quotes  
Francine: What's going on?
Stan: Steve fell off a ladder. He's dead inside. We're gonna go save America.
Klaus: Francine, you seem oddly unfazed.
Francine: No, no, I'm shocked and confused. It's just that I paralyzed my face to make me look prettier.
Klaus: Oh, why didn't you say you were having work done? I would have gladly gone halfsies on the super boob.
 
Roger & Klaus: Francine!
Roger: Good to see you, Mrs. S. You just missed happy hour, but we may still have some crab cakes. Miguel, tenemos crab cakes?!
Francine: I don't want any crab cakes.
Roger: Good, because there's no Miguel or crab cakes.
 
(Another Avalanche covers them in snow)Moose #1: Why do we keep grazing here?
Moose #2: I don't know. I do not know.
 
Stan: Okay, now that the square is gone, we can really rap. So, what do you need to know?
Steve: Um, everything, I guess. I talk a big game, but I actually know very little about sex.
Stan: Well, you don't have to worry about it because you're not having it.
Steve: Oh, but I guess I just thought I should know...
Stan: You don't need to know! That's the beautiful mystery of sex.
Steve: Well, I guess not, but I...
Stan: See, if I tell you about it, it won't be a mystery. It'll just be a fact, an ugly, moist fact, squatting on your brain like an octopus. And you don't want an octopus squatting on your brain, do you, son?
Steve: No.
Stan: And that's where babies come from.
 
TV Announcer: Watch Paris and Nicole debase themselves as they desperately cling to their last shred of stardom.
 
Steve: So, you're saying I should never ever have sex before marriage?
Stan: That's right, or angels will kill you.
 
Paris & Nicole: (On TV) We're gonna show you boys a new meaning of the words "hard time."
