"American Dad 6x02 Son of Stan Original Air Date on October 10, 2010" "Previously on American Dad:" ""Dear Mom and Dad," ""I realized I'm still in love with Jeff Fischer, which is why we've decided to elope."" "I'm offering $50,000 to anyone who can stop the wedding." "Let's go get that reward money, people!" "ALL Yeah!" "All right!" "KLAUS Ouch!" "After a few twists and turns," "Jeff and Hayley outsmarted Stan and eloped anyways... with Stan's 50 K." "Well, you're all up to speed, so just sit back, put down your GED paperwork and enjoy the show, stupid." "We're here to honor those who died in the tragic bus crash, members of our community we could never possibly forget, like Bobby the Bullet, Koko," "Brett, and of course," "Clown with Glasses." "Clown with Glasses!" "You lost someone, too?" "My daughter." "Yeah, she ran off and got married and hasn't called us in six weeks." "At least you know where your loved one is." "Duper?" "I thought you died in the bus crash." "I did, but it turns out the CIA'S been working on this new cloning thing, and here I am!" "You're a..." "a clone?" "Yup, exactly the same in every way." "Except this guy was married to some ugly bitch." "Maybe it's Hayley." "Hayley?" "No, it's Roger." "Roger, can I call you back?" "You don't have to." "I'm right next to you." "You didn't see me setting all this stuff up?" "Now we're in the same scene." "Thanks, Don." "I'm done with this." "Still broken up about Hayley, huh?" "Well, don't you worry." "I'm gonna find her." "And bring her back to us?" "No, I'm gonna find her and steal that $50,000 she took from you." "And I promise you, I'm gonna spend it all on myself at Burt Longhorn's Western Wear Depot." "Look at me." "Stan?" "Stan, look at me." "That's a promise." "Observation deck, please." "Honey, what are you doing in here?" "I thought we agreed not to go in this room." "Oh, Stan, I just miss Hayley so much." "Thought I'd come in and tidy up." "Throw away her expired condoms." "They're unlubed." "She's goodo go." "Just like her mother." "Ugh!" "We raised a junior college dropout who stole 50 grand from us and eloped with a stoner hippie." "Face it, Slick." "We've failed as parents, even by Appalachian standards." "Hi, I'm back from school." "I'm gonna watch TV and try to forget about the wedgie I suffered at lunch today." "Aah, my butt." "No TV." "You've got homework to do." "Oh, Stan, he's been in class all day." "Let him relax and unwind." "You're too lenient, Francine." "That's probably why Hayley left us." "Excuse me!" "Homework now!" "If Hayley left because of anybody, it was you." "You're too strict, and you drove her away." "TV!" "Now!" "Whatever." "I got to get a Popsicle on the old starfish." "Listen to me." "Children need structure and discipline." "No." "Kids needs space to make their own mistakes and learn from them." "Well, there's only one way to settle this." "First one across the finish line decides how we raise Steve." "Deal." "♪ ♪" "I guess I was wrong about you, Robby." "You do have what it takes to be radical." "Thanks a lot, Trace." "Sorry we bullied you when you moved here from the big city after your dad died." "You can ride with us any time." "Well, finally, it's our turn." "Does this mean I won, or should I keep going?" "I... cannot... continue." "Yes!" "We raise Steve my way!" "I'm from the big city!" "You're not really going after the $50,000, are you?" "You have no idea where Hayley is." "Patience, fish." "To find a stoned loser," "I must become a stoned loser." "Watch and learn." "Not sure this stuff is working." "I don't feel any..." "Aah...!" "Aah!" "Roger?" "What the hell are you doing in Thailand?" "Oh, my God!" "It worked!" "Thailand, huh?" "I'd like three 12-year-old boys, no MSG." "Stand up straight!" "Wipe your glasses!" "Tuck in your shirt!" "Stan, you agreed Steve would be raised my way!" "You're not allowed to be strict with him!" "I'm not being strict with Steve." "Steve's out there." "Wha...?" "You won the race, so you can raise Steve however you like." "This is a clone I had made at the CIA for me to raise how I like." "I'm calling him Steve-arino." "Hi, Mom." "Pretty great, huh?" "I also cloned world-famous comedian John Leguizamo." "'Zamo, do an impression." "Okay, uh, this is my cousin Keisha from the block." "Hey, I'm Keisha from the block." "I don't know, John." "I don't know anyone like that." "Stan, how could you clone Steve?" "!" "I was in a pickle." "You won the right to raise Steve your way." "But my way is far superior." "So this was your solution?" "!" "What was I supposed to do, welch on a BMX race?" "Get the BMX people involved?" "The Counsel of 12?" "I'm not going before them again!" "Wow!" "I have a clone?" "We should buy matching capes and invent our own creepy language." "And do jazz-tap routines!" "They're identical, right down to their memories and emotions." "So from here on, how they turn out is totally based on their upbringing." "Cabba lakti-mo?" "Sheb wawa, sheb wawa!" "Stan, this is insane!" "No, it's perfect." "You can raise Steve your way, and I'll raise Steve-arino my way." "We'll see which one turns out better, and the other one we'll just put down." "What?" "!" "We'll, we'll figure it out." "Boys, come over here." "Steve-arino, I'll be parenting you exclusively from now on." "There will be a lot of rules, homework and exercise." "Aah!" "But trust me, in time," "I'll mold you into a buff, athletic model student." "Every boy will want to be you, every girl will want to be inside you." "That sounds great!" "I'll just make a slight adjustment so we can tell you boys apart." "What about me, Dad?" "Steve, your mother will be raising you, which, unfortunately, means that your life will suck worse than Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider." "All right, that's it!" "If you think you're so much better at parenting than me, we'll do your stupid plan." "May the best Steve win!" "Wait." "So I don't have to follow any of Dad's rules?" "That's right, honey." "Yeah!" "I'm gonna go have a garden burger!" "Maybe it'll turn me gay, maybe it won't." "I guess we'll just let fate decide." "Beer for the newlyweds." "Let's cut to the chase." "I'm here to steal your 50 grand." "What?" "Hand it over, or I will set in motion the most brilliant, elegant plan I've ever come up with." "No!" "It's our money, and we're making it last." "Yeah, we're gonna use it to start our new life, selling both realistic and unrealistic wolf masks." "Very well, then." "The plan it is." "Myeeeah!" "Myeeeah!" "This is your elegant plan?" "You think I'm gonna give you the money to get you to stop making that noise?" "Myeeeah!" "Yes." "I'm Myeeeah." "Did you want to try paragliding?" "Ugh!" "I stayed up until 3:00 playing Night Manager, the most realistic retail-themed video game on the market." "Hmm." "Sounds productive." "We went hiking at dawn this morning." "There we are-- egg whites and soy toast for my little achiever." "What do I get for breakfast?" "Anything you want, honey." "Uh, okay." "How about chocolate chip pancakes?" "And... wine?" "Chocolate chip pancakes and chardonnay." "The Delta Burke breakfast it is." "Put this on, Steve-arino." "You start your first day of military school in an hour." "Military school?" "!" "You want those dividends, don't you?" "The muscles?" "The brains?" "Then you have to trust me." "I trust you, Dad." "Attaboy." "I think I'll take up swearing." "And so it begins." "♪ ♪" "Welcome home, Father!" "We won the big game against Saint John's, and I scored a touchdown!" "That's great, son!" "Isn't that great, Francine?" "Big deal!"

"Father, may I watch television with Steve?" "No can do, Son." "You got an A-minus in Biology." "You get that grade up, I'll let you watch a full hour of Fox News or City Council meetings on channel ." "Great!" "I'll go hit the books!" "Face it, Francine." "My parenting is superior." "In three months, I've turned Steve-arino into an exceptional young man." "Meanwhile, you've turned your Steve into..." "Oh, look at that." "He's starting a nose-mining company."

""P.S., I will be dropping the "arino" from my name, as I am not a character from Welcome Back, Kotter."" "Ha!" "You drove him off." "Just like you drove Hayley off." "I'm the better parent!" "Oh, my God, it's true." "I've failed as a father." "You can still be a good dad... if you get me some more nachos, fat ass." "And don't skimp on the chili peppers!" "I want my farts to hurt!" "Weak." "Steve, get your feet off the table." " Mom says I don't have to." " Well, I say..." "Mom, Dad's trying to get me to run away like all your other kids!" "Stan, leave him alone." "Steve, I got your lunch." "That is, if you want to go to school today." "I'll put it in your knapsack." "Don't touch that!" "Good Lord!" "He mutilates innocent cats." "Yes!" "You raised a monster!"

"It's simple really." "I hated all your rules and wanted Steve's easy life." "So, I faked running away and took his place." "Check this out." "Getting fancy!" "Great, Stan." "You turned your Steve into a cat-killing psychopath." "And I have no idea where my Steve..." "Will you stop doing that?" "!" "What did you do with Steve?" "!" "I got him locked away."
