"Yes, peter." "Yeah, I thought so, but then it just sounded kind of weird when I said it." "It was fine." "Thanks." "Anyway, I don't plan on losing out on any of that money." "So if you ask me, we got to start sucking up to chris right away." "What?" "Wh-what are you talking about?" "I'm talking about brownnosing chris" "And getting on his good side perk." "No, that's wrong." "No "perk."" "Okay, my bad." "But I've been counting on that money, lois." "It's always been critical to my master plan." "What master plan?" "Look, I never told you this, but..."

"And besides, there's plenty of people" "Who are married and don't have sex." "Like will smith and that pit bull." "Why do you even want to marry me?" "It's time to settle down and simplify things," "Like maybe having one atm card and one bank account." "Say, yours." "Oh." "I get it." "So, what do you say?" "When you're married, you get to spend all your time together," "Doing things like playing catch and going fishing, right?" "Well, the best marriages give each other space," "But, yes, chris." "Then, yes, I will marry you, dad!" "Oh, that's wonderful news!" "You should know this ring is very special." "It used to belong to your mother." "Wait." "What about mom?" "I'm afraid that's over, chris." "Lois, wake up." "I need you to sign this legal document." "Huh?" "Wha-what is this?" "It's a petition to force that hot mom" "To wear something appropriate at pta meetings." "Oh, thank god." "(cans rattling, tires squeaking)" "(engine revving)" "No, dad." "I don't know what normal is anymore." "So now you know my complete sexual history, chris." "Wow." "I'm surprised you got fooled by a bear in a wig." "It wasn't a wig, it was a hair system." "Well, whatever." "Why do we have all these appointments?" "Wedding dj, florist." "Because, chris, it takes time to plan a perfect wedding." "You don't want to jump the gun." "You know, like when you respond to a text too quickly." "(whooshing)" "(whooshing)" "So, should we get started with your bridal registry?" "Yeah, um, I'd like to furnish my kitchen" "As if I'm the greatest chef in the world," "Even though I've never cooked before." "That's what we do!" "Okay, great." "All right, we'll start with the nine grand" "In copper-bottom cookware." "Holy wack-a-zoly!" "Dad!" "What?" "Don't "what" me." "You know what you did." "Hey, I may be your husband and your dad, but I'm still a man." "Yeah, we're looking to plan our post-wedding Sunday breakfast." "You know, when everyone's sick of us." "Of course." "Excellent." "Do you have a table for the couple" "That barely made it through the weekend without breaking up?" "Absolutely." "Can I put them near the couple" "That hooked up drunk and now have to make awkward small talk" "Until their cab to the airport arrives?" "Sure." "And maybe they could go next" "To the vastly-underdressed cousin" "Who thinks the world revolves around him?" "I have just the spot." "Will there be a physically-frail," "Fall-down uncle?" "Indeed." "And we'd like to have him walk" "Through a maze of chair legs." "Anything else?" "Yes." "We did invite a black couple." "Um, even though we only met them three months ago," "But we would like them to be prominently featured" "To let the other guests know how tolerant and wonderful we are."

"School, yuck, right?" "!" "Welcome, friends, loved ones," "And people who are waiting for the 3:00 check-in time" "With nothing better to do." "Just let us put our bags in there." "I'm literally gonna grab my shorts and leave." "I understand the two of you have written your own vows?"

"Is everyone from your past here" "To walk you down the aisle?" "!" "Peter, you cannot do this!" "You cannot marry your son!" "I don't care how much money daddy's left him." "Don't listen to your mother, chris." "It's 'cause of her we have bedtimes!" "Chris, come on, we're going home!" "He can't make you do this." "But, mom, I want to do this." "What?" "I know he's marrying me for my money, but I don't care." "Dad and I spent more time together planning this wedding" "Than we ever have before." "And if being married means" "I get to spend even more time with my dad, then it's worth it." "Wait." "You knew all along I just wanted you for your money?" "Yeah, dad, I did." "Wow." "Oh, boy, I've been a real jerk." "I'm sorry, chris." "But you know what?" "I'm gonna make it up to you, starting right now." "Chris griffin..." "Will you be my son?" "Yes, dad." "Omg, the photographer is, like, obsessed with me." "Well, let's all go home, you guys." "I think we've had enough excitement for one day." "Yeah, and I guess I learned" "It's wrong to take your son to vermont" "Under false pretenses" "To try to marry him for his inheritance." "You..." "You should've known that." "Well, we should probably get going." "I think this adventure is over." "Peter:" "Interestingly, however, I did run into chris again." "It was on the upper west side of manhattan." "He was with another dad." "I was with another son." "But it was nice reminiscing about old times." "For you kids watching," "This is a reference to a woody allen movie."
