Episode Quotes |
| |
Brian: Huh. So that's what Peter's penis looks like.
| Bob Ross: Alright. We're going to use a fan brush here, and, uh, I want you to take some hunter green and we're gonna put a happy little bush right down over here, in the corner there. And that'll be just our little secret....... And if you tell anyone, that that bush is there. I will come to your house and I will cut you!
| Peter: You know, some people think that dandelions are weeds, but, you know, I always think, who the hell decided tulips were so great?
| Peter: Woah! Is that really the blood of Christ?
Priest: Yes.
Peter: Man, that guy must have been wasted 24 hours a day, huh?
| Stewie: It wasn't even about the egss, really. Frankly, I like the yolks. I have no problem. There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me. And it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her not to be alive anymore. I sometimes wonder if all women are this difficult. And then I think to myself, "My God wouldn't it be marvelous if i turned out to be a homosexual?"
| Stewie: What the hell is this? I said egg whites only! Are you trying to give me a bloody heart attack? (Smashes breakfast into wall.) Now make it again!!!
| Peter: If you want an autograph right now, you either got to give me a pen or some snow.

Chris doesn't know that instead of his parents driving him to soccer practice, the dolls Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy are in the front seats.
