Episode Quotes
Stan: Uh, Deputy Director Bullock.
Bullock: Gentlemen, we have a crucial mission. We found an Al-Qaeda cell camped out in the remote desert of Algeria.
Stan: Are they planning an attack?
Bullock: No, they're just on a camping trip.
Stan: Those s'mores-making bastards!

Jack: Son, breaking into a vault is like making love to a woman.
Stan: Right, so we should pound on it for, like, two minutes?
Jack: No, you've got to gently work the dials until she surrenders. And it opens.

Francine: Yeah. About your amazing dad. I still can't believe you kept this from me.
Stan: But... he said not to tell.
Francine: But I'm your wife.
Stan: And he's my dad. That's nature's wife! Don't you get it, Francine? The whole reason I joined the CIA was to be like him.
Francine: What kind of man abandons his family for 20 years?
Stan: Only the manliest man in the world. Honestly, you should be having sex with him right now. He'd do you right. You want me to go get him? I don't think he's asleep.

Hayley: So, you're a despicable CIA fascist like my father.
Jack: No, doll face, I work for the Scarlet Alliance. It's more secret, more deadly, and everyone wears a turtleneck.
Klaus: Sounds like a disco I used to frequent in Berlin. I did lines with Falco in the men's room. Greedy, greedy Falco.

Francine: I can't believe you lied to me all these years.
Stan: And the best part is, I'm still lying to you about a bunch of other stuff.

Steve: Come on, guys, guess who I am!
Hayley: Oh, uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I don't care.
Steve: It's Gavin from my algebra class. He's always doing this.
Klaus: Well, you tell Gavin to pay attention. The students in China pay attention, and they outnumber us four to one. The Red Dragon awakens.

Stan: Francine, I don't want to be a pencil pusher. I'm a killing machine.
Francine: Oh, sweetie, I know. Why don't you just talk to your boss and tell him how you feel?
Stan: That's perfect! I'll plant a bomb in his office and then diffuse it, so I can prove I've still got it.

Stan: Francine, I don't want to be a pencil pusher. I'm a killing machine.
Francine: Oh, sweetie, I know. Why don't you just talk to your boss and tell him how you feel?
Stan: That's perfect! I'll plant a bomb in his office and then diffuse it, so I can prove I've still got it.

Stan: Oh, dad, these eggs are the best. Francine, taste these eggs. It's like dad plucked them from the ovaries of an angel.

Bullock: Good God, there's a bomb in my office!
Stan: Oh, my God, it's a giant bomb! How fudge-making!
CIA Agent #1: There's a bomb?
CIA Agent #2: What's going on?
CIA Agent #3: Someone brought fudge?

Roger: Jack is so wonderful. How many push-ups do you think he can do? 'Cause I think he can do a hundred.
Hayley: Roger, do you have a boy crush on my grandfather?
Roger: No, of course not! Why? Did he say something about me?

Jack: Stan, it's time I told you the truth. I didn't come to town just to see my grandchildren. The fact is, I'm retiring.
Stan: Dad, no! You can't! So many people will be left unkilled.

Jack: Sorry, Stan. I can't go to jail. You know what they'd do to my eye socket in there?

Stan: Dad's taking me on a mission! But first we're going to get some cheeseburgers and milkshakes! Are you jealous? Yeah, you're totally jealous!

Roger: Well, if the Jack-anater says you're a spy, then you're a spy.
