Episode Quotes |
| |
Stewie: Ok, ok. I've got it, I've got it. If you cooked any more slowly, you wouldn't need an egg timer. You'd need an egg calendar. Ah ha ha ha. Oh, that's right. I went there.
| Peter: Why do women have boobs? So you got something to look at while you're talkin' to 'em.
| Peter: Okay, okay, how many dirty stinkin' apes does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three. One dirty stinkin' ape to screw in the light bulb, and two dirty stinkin' apes to throw feces at each other!
| Peter: Women are not people, they are devices built by our Lord Jesus Christ for our entertainment.
| Stewie: Hey, mother, I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint. It's in my diaper and it's not a toaster.
| Lois: I guarantee you a man made that commercial.
Peter: Of course a man made it. It's a commercial Lois, not a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
| Peter: (to a bus load of girls) I'll be Charlie and all of you can be my angels. (Looks at ugly one)Except you. You be Bosley.
| Miss Ironbox: The filing is done, Mr. Griffin.
Peter: Thank you Miss Ironbox. You are a valued
member of our business team, and I will give you a
raise tomorrow if you come to work without a shirt on.
Miss Ironbox: Mr. Griffin!
Peter: I'm sor...I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
Lemme' try again. Nice ass.
| Peter: If I wasn't so sure you were a lesbian, I'd say you were coming on to me.
| Peter: (runs to picketers bearing signs that say "Free Tibet") Free Tibet! I'll take it! (Runs to phone booth.) Hello, China? I think I have something you may want, but it's gonna cost you....that's right--all the tea.
| Lois: You gave up a boat for free tickets to a crappy comedy club!
Peter: Come one, Lois, you're acting like this is the first time I ever did something stupid.
| Peter: Lois, less talkie more fetchie.
Lois: I'm just gonna assume that's Chinese for 'I love you.'

Episode Goofs |

On the 'Productivity Chart' hanging on the wall in Mr. Weed's office; the months of March and May are abbreviated with a 'W' instead of an 'M'.
| After the woman jumps into the “trust quilt” the subtitles indicate Miss Watson says “Wonderful” but her mouth never moves.
| During the fight with Gloria, the straps on Lois' dress clearly break but when Peter rushes her out of the banquet hall (& when it's laying on the floor back in their bedroom) we see they are once again intact.
| Also during the fight with Gloria, Lois and Gloria fall into the pool (why the Biltmore Hotel has a pool in the middle of the banquet hall is another story but anyway), Gloria is wearing her blue jacket but when she emerges the jacket is gone.

| Peter: “Here's what I'm thinking. I'll be Charlie, and you can all be my angels.

The character John “Bosley” was the assistant to the unseen “Charlie”
| Peter: “You wouldn't believe what I had to go through when Lois was pregnant”
