Episode Quotes
 
Brain: Ugh, I can't believe you're serving a three year sentence, it seems so harsh.
Lois: Well, the only upside is that it's given me time to think about why I ended up in here. I guess I was stealing because I was so sick of the same old routine. I felt like I had a void in my life, like, like, there was a secret hole in me...
Quagmire: Oh God!
Lois:...and I was trying to fill that hole with all kinds of expensive objects, and things...
Quagmire: Oh God!!!
Lois: ...and I felt wonderful with all those things filling that hole.
Quagmire: Oh God!!!!!!
Lois: I did this to myself, so I'm just gonna have to lay back and let the penal system teach me a lesson.
Quagmire: That one is also sexual.
 
Lois: So are those biblical names?
Inmate: Yeah “Fisty” is.
 
Stewie: I haven't seen one female baby since we got here. This place is a sausage fest.
 
Sign: We make you food for you so fast.
 
Lois: I can't hold on much longer!
Joe: Lois, pretend I'm one of your children!
(Joe starts to slip)
Joe: Not Meg! Not Meg!
(Lois pulls Joe to safety)
 
Lois: I'm gonna go get some oranges Stewie. Here, hold the rest of these bags for mommy.
Stewie: Oh, what brilliant parenting Lois. Leave a tiny infant with a plastic bag. You know I might asphyxiate myself just to teach you a lesson. Here I go. Just like that boy from INXS..(Stewie tries to put bag over top of his head.)
Stewie: I'm going to do it! (Tries to put bag over left side of his head then climbs into it and tries pulling it over his head.)
Stewie: BLAST! Good Lord Lois, either I was a c-section, or you're Wonder Woman!
 
Peter: (In Asiatown) Oh my God it's Jackie Chan! (Asian guy walks away)
Peter: (to next Asian guy) Oh my God it's Jackie Chan! (Asian guy again walks away)
Peter: (to another Asian guy) Oh my God it's Jackie Chan!
Jackie Chan: Hi there, always nice to meet a fan! Oh my God it's Ethan Hawk!
Peter: No I'm not.
Jackie Chan: (to Chris) Oh my God it's Ethan Hawk!
Chris: Nope.
Jackie Chan: (to Meg) Oh my God it's Malcom in Middle!
Meg: Im not a boy!
Jackie Chan: Yes you are.
 
Girl: Silly rabbit! Trix are for kids!
Trix Rabbit: You share! (Beats up kids and takes cereal.)
 
Kidnapper: You know I've got some candy in my van if your kid wants some.
Lady: Oh great! (She's about to hand kid to kidnapper...) Huh! Wait a second!
Kidnapper: Aww, you got me! You got me! Oh...
I'll get him though, I'll get him.
Lady: I bet you will! I bet you will...
 
Peter: Okay now when we get to your mother's cage say "hello", but don't drag your ass, because I want to go to the reptile house. Oh, and I want to see those pandas.
Brian: Peter, this isn't a zoo, it's a prison.

The scene where Joe is following the Griffins in the helicopter; and the tie fighters fly in front of him is very similar to a scene in Star Wars where the rebel X-Wing Fighters were flying through the gullie of the Death Star.
