  Episode Summary  
Brian offers to pick Stewie up from visiting the Pwedersmchidts in Palm Springs, but Brian gets drunk at the airport and they miss their flight home. During their car-stealing, train-hopping, hitch-hiking trip back to Rhode Island, they stop by Austin, Texas where Brian hopes to find his mother and deal with the fact that he was abandoned. However, at the farm, they find out that she died years ago and was stuffed; now being used as an end table. Brian steals her from the farm owner, in order to give her a proper burial. Now, they must find their way back home. Meanwhile, Lois makes Peter watch relationship communication videos which he begins to enjoy after they turn out to be pornography. And Chris bothers Meg with a stupid word guessing game.

In "Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection", this episode is included with the Bin Laden scene.
 
The reason the Bin Laden scene was cut was because of the recent attacks that had occured on September 11th.
 
The scene where Dr. Kaplan takes off her bra was only made as a joke, but actualy made it into the episode.
 
Seth MacFarlane has often said, many times, that this is his favorite episode.
 
The DVD commentary on this episode had to be re-done.

  Episode Quotes  
Stewie: You remember that episode of the Brady Bunch where Bobby saved Greg's life and Greg became his slave?
Brian: Yeah.
Stewie: Good. It's on tonight. Tape it for me, and put a nice label on it.
 
Stewie: Go on, hot wire it!
Brian: Hot wire? I don't even pump my own gas.
 
Girl: (next to Brain at a bar) I think you've had about enough.
Brian: Well, I... I think you're wrong, you... you increasingly attractive looking woman. You know, you’re... you’re really pretty
Girl: Oh, stop!
Brian: No. I'm... I'm serious... You could... you could be in magazines. You could! And not just Juggs or Creamsicle...
(Lady walks away)
Brian: Call me!
Brian: (Looks at bartender) She won't call.
 
Hotel manager: Open up or I'll hit you with this blunt instrument I use to hit dead-beats with bad credit cards. Well, it's not an instrument, it's more of an object, but it's blunt, hard and blunt, and well ... it's kinda like a bat. I found it out back one day when I was raking.
 
Brian: I'm not drunk, all right. I just have a speech impediment ...(throws up) and a stomach virus...(falls off bar stool) and an inner ear infection.
 
Stewie: Loosen up, the old gal doesn't have much to wag about these days anyway.
 
Stewie: That's right Mr. Giraffe, get all the maramlade.
 
(On a train trip back to Rhode Island, Brian & Stewie start singing)
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're having the time of our lives
Stewie: Take it, dog
Brian: We're quite a pair of partners
Just like Thelma and Louise
Except you're not six feet tall
Stewie: And you're breasts don't reach your knees
Brian: Give it time
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're certainly going in style
Brian: I'm with an intellectual who craps inside his pants
Stewie: How dare you!
At least I don't leave urine stains on all the household plants
Brian: Oh, pee jokes
Both: We've traveled a bit and we've found
Like a masochist in Newport, we're Rhode Island bound
Brian: Crazy weather we're having, huh?
Stewie: First class and no class
Brian: Whoa, careful with that joke, it's an antique
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're not gonna stop till we're there
Brian: Maybe for a beer
Whatever dangers we may face, we'll never fear or cry
Stewie: That's right
Until we're syndicated, FOX will never let us die, please?
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
The home of that old campus swing
Brian: We may pick up some college girls and picnic on the grass
Stewie: We'd tell you more, but we would have the censors on our ass
Brian: Yikes
Both: We certainly do get around
Like renegade Pilgrims who were thrown out of Plymouth Colony
We're Rhode Island bound
Or like a group of college freshmen who were rejected from Harvard and forced to go to Brown
We're Rhode Island bound!
