Episode Notes |
| |
"C-Spin" is the name of the TV network Bullock was going to announce Stan's promotion on.
| The message that scrolls across the bottom of the screen during the C-Spin Broadcast says "CIA Deputy Director Bullock to Nominate New Deputy-Deputy Director," "Bullock Receives Phone Call From 18 Year-Old Girlfriend, Waves to Her," "Bullock Gets Dumped by Girlfriend Who's Going Back to Her Ex-Boyfriend Jeff Because He's Totally Changed," and "Bullock Breaks Down Like the Little Girl He Fancies."
| We find out that Bullock's first name is actually "Avery."
| We also find out that Francine is 10 months younger than Stan.
| The CIA carnival banner says "30th Annual CIA Carnival - Tolerating Women & Blacks Since 1988!"
| Here are what some signs on different booths of the carnival read: "Microfilm Eating Contest," "WMD Hunt," "Just Keep Walking, This Booth Doesn't Concern You," and "Defibrillate Dick Cheney."
| At the end of the episode, there is "In Loving Memory of Trahn 'Jimmy' Ng."
Trahn was a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who was killed in the line of duty by a street racer. He was a good friend of Seth MacFarlane.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Jeff: God, it's so beautiful out here. I want to weep.
Hayley: Yeah, look, Jeff, I have bad news. This is a breakup hike.
Jeff: What? But-but-but we're so good together!
Hayley: No, we're not. You never challenge me. You just always agree with me.
Jeff: You're right, I so do that. But I can change.
Hayley: No, you can't.
Jeff: You're right. Let's get married.
Hayley: Goodbye, Jeff.
Jeff: Good call, babe. You can do better.
| Hayley: Hey, if the whole CIA is at this carnival, who's out there undermining democracy?
Stan: The FBI pulls a double shift. Now, listen, when we get there, you better keep your Liberal pie hole shut! My promotion depends on it.
Francine: Honestly, Stan, what does Hayley have to do with you getting a promotion? It should be enough that you're really good at your job.
Stan: Yeah, it should. But we don't live in Shouldland. Ah, Shouldland, where clean-cut kids cruise Shouldland Boulevard, and the Shouldland High football team gets their optimistic asses kicked by their cross-town rival, Reality Check Tech.
| Stan: Unbelievable. I'm this close to a promotion and our darling, little Squeeky Fromme decides to assassinate my career.
Klaus: You know, I wasn't sure about the Squeeky Fromme reference, but it's a smart joke and the fans have come to expect that from us.
| Stan: What the hell do you think you're...
Hayley: Look, Avery called to apologize for what he said at the carnival. We met for coffee, and, well, I know it's crazy, but I like him. He challenges me. And besides, he has a huge...
Stan: Penis, I mean, Hayley! Damn it. I was trying to cut you off before you said...
Hayley: I was gonna say heart, but, well, you shined his shoes.
| Stan: I got the promotion, Francine!
Francine: Yes, but you lost my respect. You're not the man I married.
Stan: And you're not the man I married.
Francine: That doesn't make any sense.
Stan: It doesn't have to. I got a promotion!
| Stan: With all due respect, sir, suck it up.
Bullock: You'll get your promotion, Smith. Just as soon as you do one last thing for me.
Stan: Oh, come on! I've picked up your laundry, I polished your shoes... I've done everything but bend over backwards for you, and my daughter did that, so I say we count it. What else could you possibly want me to do?
Bullock: Kill Jeff Fisher.
| Hayley: Look, get this through your head, Avery. We are over. I'm with Jeff now.
Bullock: How dare you talk to me that way, you third-rate tart.
Stan: Uh... sir, she is my daughter.
Bullock: Silence, man-horse! This is between me and that filthy, cheap slut.
| Bullock: Say, do you perchance have any Gatorade? I'm afraid I left all my electrolytes with your daughter.

Analysis |
| |
During the series there are many times when it seems that Stan puts his job first and his family second. This episode showed a strong bond between Stan and Hayley in the way that he stood up for her, and therefore risked his job.
