Episode Quotes |
| |
Roger: Stan might be an insensitive feelings-hurter, but he'd never cheat on you.
Francine: It's not Stan I'm worried about. It's the female "entertainment" I don't trust. Men throw a little cash out 'em, they'll do anything. Then sometimes when you're on the floor with another girl, guys'll throw money, then pick it up and throw the same singles out there again. Like I'm an idiot. Like I don't have peripheral vision.
(Awkward silence)
| Greg: That clip was provided by the fun new game show Best Buddiez!
Terry: That's right, Greg. And next week, Best Buddiez! is taping right here in Langley Falls with a grand prize of $200,000.
Greg: And your favorite anchor-partners are gonna be contestants. Because after all, we are just buddies... according to the government. And Terry's father.
| Stan: All right! I'm packed and ready to party! Party time! Enjoy your last look at my ass, 'cause I'm gonna party it off!
| Roger: (gasps) You got a best buddy? Can I be your second best buddy?
Stan: Let's see, how do I hang an air freshener on this? You are a total waste of space. I often dream of killing you. (inhales) Ah, Mountain Pine.
| Francine: Come on, Roger. He'd never let you go.
Roger: Oh, I can be very persuasive.
(New Scene; Stan opens his luggage; Roger tumbles out)
Roger: Surprise!
(Stan points handgun at Roger)
Roger: (Weeping) Look in your heart! I'm praying to you! Look in your heart! You can't do this. It's not right. It's a wrong situation. I couldn't help it, it's my nature. Somebody hands me an angle, I play it. I don't deserve to die for that! Do you think I do? This is not us! This is some hop dream! I'm praying to you! I can't die! I can't die out here in the woods!
Stan: What the hell are you talking about?
Roger: It's from my favorite movie, Miller's Crossing. Bravo, Joel and Ethan Coen. I mean, there are some proud parents, huh? Some nachas for the Coens?
| Stan: Bobo, you crazy ol' herpes spreader! There's Lieutenant Herpes! Or is it Captain Herpes now? (Laughs)
Bobo: Stan? I haven't seen you since college. What are you doing here?
Stan: What do you mean? I'm here for my best friend's bachelor party! I got your eVite.
Bobo: Oh, my secretary must have accidentally sent that.
Stan: "Accidentally sent..." Get outta here, you crazy ol' herpes spreader!
Bobo: Will you please stop calling me that?
Stan: Oh, I got a present. It's an Asian sex doll. Huh, remember in college? You were always talking about climbing the Great Wall of Vagina? (Laughs)
Bobo: Uh, Stan, this is my future father-in-law, Reverend Hideki Obayashi.
Stan: Oh...
| Stan: Why the hell can't you just let this go?!
Roger: Because you were my first! (Weeps)
Stan: Oh...I had no idea.
Roger: I wanted a buddy, but now I never want to see you again! (Leaves car)
(Stan starts to drive away; Roger comes back)
Roger: You were supposed to come after me!
Stan: What?! You crazy psycho-bitch! Leave me alone!
| (hits something with car)
Stan: What the hell was that?
Francine: (After being run over by Stan) I'm not hurt! It's a miracle!
Roger: (Inside the car; to Stan) I think you're still on top of it. Back up.
(Stan backs up and runs over Francine again, Runs out of car)
Stan: Oh, my God! I hit Francine!
Roger: We should probably leave a note.
| Dr. Gupta: Hello, I'm Dr. Gupta. Yes, I'm a woman. I suppose you have a problem with that.
Stan: Uh, no. Is my wife gonna be okay?
Dr. Gupta: Are you questioning my competence?
Stan: No, I'm just concerned about my wife.
Dr. Gupta: Really? 'Cause the way you're looking at me, it seems like you're concerned with something else. (Opens her shirt)
| Dr. Gupta: When you ran over your wife - twice - it caused her brain to detach from her central nervous system. She's what we, in the medical profession, call "a husk."
Roger: I've heard of that.
Dr. Gupta: We can reattach her brain, but it's an experimental procedure your insurance won't cover.
Stan: That's my wife. I don't care how much it is, I'll pay it!
Dr. Gupta: It's $178,000.
Stan: What if I don't need her to talk?
| Peter: Okay, Terry, what is Greg's favorite appetizer?
Terry: Oh, that's easy. It's... potato skins!
Greg: No, it's wasabi tuna in a raddichio sauce.
Terry: Even I think that's gay.

Roger 'n' Me
The episode title is a reference to the 1999 Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me. The documentary featured Moore trying to speak in person with then-CEO Roger Smith of GM, about the company laying off massive amounts of American workers.
| Roger watches the game show “Best Buddiez”. This is an allusion to the “The Newlywed Game” (1966-1974)(1977-1980)(1985-1989)(1996-1998)(2009) which has had several incarnations since 1966.
| Singer/Songwriter Edie Brickell (1966-) is mentioned in this episode.

“Miller's Crossing” is a 1990 movie written by the Coen brothers starring Gabriel Byrne (1950-), Marcia Gay Harden (1959-) & John Turturro (1957-)
Roger's lines, “It's the wrong situation, it's my nature, somebody gives me an angle I play it. I don't deserve to die for that, Do you think I do? This is not us. This is some hop dream. I can't die! I can't die out here in the woods!” were spoken by Turturro's character “Bernie”

| Roger: “I will not be ignored Stan!”
This line is a quote from the 1987 thriller “Fatal Attraction” starring Michael Douglas (1944-), Glenn Close (1947-) & Anne Archer (1947-).
The line is actually “I will not be ignored Dan!” spoken by Close's character Alex Forrest referring to Douglas' character, Dan Gallagher.

This is a combination of the 2 retail chains, “Big Lots” and “Best Buy”
| Roger: “What are Gypsy Rose Lee and Mama Rose doing here?”
Roger named his two ceramic poodles after Gypsy Rose Lee (1911-1970), the famous American burlesque entertainer, actress and writer & her mother “Mama Rose” aka Rose Thompson Hovick (1890-1954).
Lee's memoir about her life and her mother became the stage musical & film “Gypsy”
