  Episode Summary  
Stan becomes very disappointed after Steve begins to show the lack of interest in Stan's job that he once had. When Steve's friend Barry shows an interest in Stan's life, Stan begins to do things with Barry that he used to do with Steve, making Steve jealous. However, when Barry stops taking his pills, he begins to act differently. Apparently, the pills were keeping Barry in touch with his sane side. The new evil genius Barry frames Steve, and sends him off to a juvenile hall type place. When Steve finds out about the pills, he must use the CIA skills Stan taught him to get home and save the family. Meanwhile, Roger visits a college with Hayley and ends up joining a fraternity.

  Episode Quotes  
Barry: Hey, Steve. Somebody left this on your front porch. (shows Steve the doormat)
Stan: Great, it's the fat one.
Steve: That's a doormat, Barry.
Barry: Who's Matt Barry?
Stan: God, I hate you so much!
Steve: Mom, can Barry stay for dinner?
Francine: If it's okay with his parents.
Barry: Oh, they won't care. They never care.
Stan: Good people. My kind of people.
(Barry's watch beeps)
Barry: Oh, time to take my vitamin. May I have a glass of water?
Stan: Fatty can use the garden hose!
 
Stan: Here we are, Steve, the most important building in the world. You excited?
Steve: For my eight billionth installment of "Look How Awesome My Dad Is"? How could I not be?
Stan: You couldn't. I was just making conversation.
 
Stan: Steve used to really look up to me, but now it's like he's not into me anymore.
Roger: Wow, that's really, really boring.
Stan: I'm serious, Roger. I'm opening up to you here. It's like my son's rejection is bringing up all kinds of feelings I don't understand.
Roger: Oh, okay. Uh... not sure what to say here.
Hayley: Well, I'm off to petition my college for an Eskimo studies program.
Roger: What?! They don't have one? I'm sorry, Stan, I'd love to help you, but the Eskimos, their plight, that's the real stuff here.
Hayley: You care about the Eskimos?
Roger: Yeah, yeah, I love their pies. Keep going. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.
 
Francine: Are you still moping about Steve? Come on. He's just going through a phase. It's like Steve is America and you're Arrested Development. It doesn't mean you're bad, it just means he's not interested in you.
 
Stan: Steve, do you still want to go to the Franklin Mint this weekend? The new Clara Peller commemorative plates are in. "Where's the beef?" (Laughs) Good question. Where was that beef? Nobody knew.
Steve: Oh, my God! The Franklin Mint?! Yeah, I'd rather die.
 
Steve: Oh, you two went to the Mint together?
Barry: Sure did.
Stan: Barry has a knack for it, too. He can spot the difference between a plate and a platter. You either know that or you don't. It's like sexing a chicken.
Barry: You hear that, Steve? Your dad knows my name. My name is Barry, and he knows that.
 
Stan: So, Barry, want to wind down by watching the best movie ever, Red Dawn?
Barry: I'm Barry!
 
Stan: Oh, you're off the hook, Steve. I know you never bought into the whole Nicaraguans-Russians-and-Cubans-invading-Colorado thing. Besides, I've got Barry now. I don't need you per se.
Steve: You don't need me?
Stan: Per se, Steve. Geez, doesn't anyone appreciate Latin anymore?
 
Barry: Stan, can we stop by church on the way to breakfast? Before I take my first sip of O.J., I like to take a big gulp of Jesus.
 
Steve: Hey, that's my dad's Tara Reid collector's plate. You can't touch that. You know how much that'll be worth in a few months when she's dead?
 
Stan: Careful, Steve! He's as mad as he is fat.
 
Barry: Thanks for driving me home, Mr. Smith. We're going faster than people.
Stan: Quiet, fatty fat-fat fatty!

The dialog between Barry and Steve when Barry is deciding which drink to take is very similar to a dialog in the movie The Princess Bride.
