Episode Quotes |
| |
Cleveland: Oh, Peter, that tickles me in a way, that if Loretta tickled me in that way, I'd say, Oh yea...that's nice...that's the spot.
| Chris: Dad, I tried to go to school but this guy won't let me.
Peter: Oh yeah? Him and what army?
Chris: The U.S. Army.
Peter: Oh, that's a good army.
| Student: So...wait, I don't get it. Can they understand the baby? What's up with that?
| Peter: Well, I'm gettin' something really special too. And by special I don't mean special like that Kleinaman boy down the street. More special like... like Special K, the cereal. Hey, what do they do with the regular K? And for that matter, what ever happened to K. Ballard? You know, if you said mallard and you had a cold, it would sound like ballard.
Brian: Do you listen to yourself when you talk?
Peter: I drift in and out.
| Peter: Ok, here's another riddle. A woman has two children. A homicidal murderer tells her she can only keep one. Which one does she let him kill?
Brian: That's... that's not a riddle. That's ... that's just terrible.
Peter: Wrong, the ugly one!
| Adam West: I love this job more than I love taffy ... and I'm a man who loves his taffy.
| Adam West: We invited Reverend Jesse Jackson to open up our ceremonies with a prayer.
(Crowd mutters in excitement)
Adam West: Unfortunately he could not make it, so instead we have LaToya Jackson.
LaToya Jackson: Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub. Yay God!
Adam West: How very inappropriate, thank you.
| Bartender: You still owe me for the other rounds, which comes to 50 bucks.
Peter: I'm a foreign diplomat. I don't pay for drinks. Do you think G. Gordon Liddy paid for his drinks while he was strangling people with piano wire for the good of our nation?
| Peter: Ah ah ah ah. Can't Touch Me.
Can't Touch me.
Ja ja ja ja just like the bad guy,
From Lethal Weapon 2,
I've got diplomatic Immunity,
So Hammer, you can't sue.
I can write graffiti even jay-walk in the streets.
I can Riot, loot, not give a hoot, and touch your sister's teat.
Can't touch me,
Can't touch me.
Can't touch me,
STOP!
Peter time.
I'm a big shot, there's no doubt
Light a fire then pee it out.
Don't like it, kiss my rump.
Just for a minute, let's all do the bump. Can't touch me,
Yeah, do the Peter Griffin Bump.
Can't touch me.
I'm Presidential Peter,
Interns think I'm hot/ Don't care if you're handicapped, I'll still park in your spot! I've been around the world,
From Hartford to Back Bay
It's Peter, Go Peter, I'm so Peter, Yo Peter, Let's see Regis rap this way.
Can't touch me.
| Lois: My god, I haven't seen everyone this miserable since the time we were tortured.
(Cut to dungeon)
(Dungeon Master whips Peter)
Peter: Um oh I'm sorry were you just whipping me or did I just get bit by a mosquito?
(Dungeon Master whips Peter again)
Say Lois, it you happen to see the Dungeon Master could you tell him his grandmother was just trying to work me over.
