Episode Notes
The end credits tune of this episode is done in a rap theme. Like the one in "Mr. Saturday Knight" which was done in the medeival theme.
Peter is the only one singing the end credits although in several parts his black friends join in on a line.
Episode Quotes
Dennis Miller: I don't wanna go on a rant here but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowolf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first Battle of Antietam. I mean when a neo-conservative defenstrates it's like Raskalnakov filibuster dioxymonohydrostinate.
Peter: What the hell does rant mean?
(Quagmire finds a cheerleader tied up in a bathroom stall)
Quagmire: Dear Diary, Jackpot!
Tom Tucker: And now time for Ollie Williams with the Black-U-Weather Forecast. Ollie?
Ollie: IT'S GONNA RAIN!
Tom Tucker: Thanks, Ollie.
Chris: What's a library, dad?
Peter: Oh, it's just a place where homeless people come to shave and go BM.
Peter: I got no idea how to be black ... y'know, except for not smiling when I get my picture taken.
Peter:...yah and then Chris starts in with all this Yo! Yo! Yo! stuff and I don't know what the hell he's talking about. So I started beating him with a hose and then my arm got tired...so I came here.
Black man: So, it's agreed, we'll keep on pretending to like pigs' feet simply to confound the white man.
Mr. Pewterschmidt: My jacket's in the kitchen, please don't write on it.
Brian: Like those two weeks you spent narrating your own life.
(Cut to Peter narrating his life)
Peter: I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. I looked with a grimace at the questionable meal Lois had placed in front of me. Of course I would never tell her how disgusted I was with her cooking, but somehow I think she knew. Lois had always been full of energy and life, but lately I had begun to grow more aware of her aging: the bright exuberant eyes that I had fallen in love with were now beginning to grow dull and listless with the long fatigue of a weary life. (Lois knocks Peter out) I awoke several hours later in a daze.
