"Sir, our prices are set by the corporate office." "Then maybe I'II just take my business elsewhere." "Good luck filling our spot by this Saturday." "I got cash!" "I'II take it!" "Suit yourself." "Wait." "I was just bluffing." "My wife has her heart set on this place." "[Peter yells after him]" "Chris, this is a big day for you." "The day you become the man of the house." "Because when we get home, your mother is going to kill me." "So the man in white is coming to put me back in the womb, is he?" "If I'm to defeat him, I shall require professional forces."

"They also get food, cake, and your choice of ice-cream flavors vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, or people." "What was that?" "chocolate." "Give me the check." "hold it!" "Lois may have had her heart set on this place but I Iove my family too much to risk their lives." "Come on, Chris." "We're leaving." "No, you're not!" "please don't make me angry, pal." "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." "AII right, Peter." "That's enough!" "Bravo, Peter." "You are the SpaIding Gray of crap." "Do you know how hard it was to get a reservation at Cheesie charlie's?" "I had to book it the day of my ultrasound." "We'II never find another place in time!" "For once, it was all gonna be so perfect!" "Come on, Lois." "It'II still be perfect." "We'II give him the best birthday ever right here in the safety and comfort of our own home." "Peter, we've been over this." "Honey, you won't have to lift a finger." "I got us a clown, a cake, a petting zoo, a big-ass piñata, the works!" "You got all those things?" "You bet I did." "Wow." "Even Cheesie charlie's doesn't have a petting zoo." "Okay, I'II call the parents and let them know the party's here." "You don't have any of those things." "How do you know?" "Face it."

"I'II double it!" "I'II give you whatever you want!" "Money!" "Women!" "Men?" "Dad, what are we doing here again?" "Pigs, Chris." "We're getting pigs for Stewie's petting zoo." "Crafty swine." "UPS." "little bastards ain't as smart as...." "Hi, Mom." "This is Jennifer." "She gave me a ride home." "Meg, you made a friend." "What a lovely house, Mrs. G." "Meg, you didn't tell me your mother was just like Martha Stewart." "Oh, no." "Once you get to know me, I'm really very nice." "You know what's nice?" "Having a friend like Meg." "And kittens." "It was super swell meeting you." "Bye, Meg." "Friends forever." "Forever and ever." "Wow!" "What a great yard!" "Guess what, Mom?" "Jennifer invited me to a party on Saturday." "This Saturday?" "Meg, you can't miss Stewie's first birthday." "But Mom" "Meg, our entire family is going to be here for Stewie's party." "And that includes you." "Understood?" "I can't believe you'd put your family before your own daughter!" "She's a whiny little runt, isn't she?" "I said "runt."" "I don't think I'm in the right place." "I'm looking for a guy to entertain the kids at my son's birthday." "Sure." "I can do that." "You do children's parties?" "Yeah." "I can do, Iike, a handstand, and some somersauIts maybe." "I can make pretend like the children are little bugs in my web." "Do you know your phone number, son?" "The only way you'II get me to talk is through slow, painful torture." "And I don't think you've got the grapes!" "It sounds like you don't want to go home." "Are you running away?" "Stewart GiIIigan Griffin runs from nothing!" "You know, son, running away never solves anything." "You're getting to be a big boy now." "And part of growing up means facing your problems head on." "The ruptured capillaries in your nose belle the clarity of your wisdom." "You're saying I must return to face this man in white myself." "So be it." "As for you, kind sage, I only hope my heartfelt thanks will keep you warm as you spend the next 10 years in frozen carbonite!" "Peter, you've only got a couple of hours left." "If you pull a party out of your ass, you'II want to stand up." "My friend Jennifer invited me to hang out with her friends." "Can I go?" "I won't fall for this trick." "Did you ask your mother?" "Yes." "Okay, then." "Have fun, sweetheart." "Thanks, Daddy!" "Brian, Stewie's birthday is gonna suck." "The only stuff I couId get on such short notice was a cake and that big-ass piñata." "I sure hope candy comes out of that." "Face it, Brian." "I'm a bad father, a lousy husband, and a snappy dresser." "I'II never be able to face Lois." "The circus is in town." "Maybe you could run away and join it." "The circus!" "Hi." "This is the right day, isn't it?" "Oh, yes." "Peter should be back any minute and then we can start the party, I hope." "Hey, Lois, look." "The two symbols of the republican party an elephant and a big fat white guy who's threatened by change." "Peter, this is the most wonderful celebration I couId have imagined." "Yeah." "Where's Stewie?" "He's upstairs, resting up for his big day." "I'II get him." "If you see Meg, tell her to take plenty of pictures." "Meg's not here." "She went to a friend's house." "What?" "She's gonna miss Stewie's birthday." "I dropped her off an hour ago." "Boy, is she gonna be sorry, or what?" "Peter." "How could you let her go?" "What's the big deal?" "So Meg's with her new friends." "They seemed like some nice kids." "I'm glad you could join us." "We're gonna have a great time on our trip." "A trip?" "Like to the beach?" "Because I didn't bring my swimsuit." "You won't need anything where we're going." "Excuse me." "I've gotta go mix the punch." "Birthday dude?" "Do you want some ice cream?" "Yes." "But no sprinkles!" "For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you!" "Come on, Lois." "I hate to see you so upset." "We got animals." "We got clowns." "I mean, a party couldn't be any better if Jesus himself showed up." "Okay, everybody." "For my next miracle, I'm gonna turn water into funk." "Peter, the circus is terrific." "But it's not just Stewie's birthday." "We're also celebrating the day our family became whole." "Today means nothing if Meg isn't here." "Meg, you seem sad." "Today's a happy day." "I know." "It's just that I really like that guy over there." "But he doesn't even know I exist." "He must think I'm a total dog." "That is so not true." "Then what is it?" "He's a eunuch." "really?" "Sure." "AII the guys here have been castrated." "It's cool." "Do you think that girl is hot?" "No." "Me neither." "Hey, you." "Hit me." "There." "Now, if I can just find a midget with some gin, I'II be in business." "Where are you off to?" "I gotta make things right for Lois and get this monkey off my back." "Ow!" "Knock it off!" "AII right, men, the man in white is coming to put me back in the womb." "Today he comes for me, but tomorrow it could be you or you!" "I offer you the opportunity to join me in glorious battle." "I know that for some of you, your motor skills are not developed." "sadly, you will be used as decoys." "sadly, you will be used as decoys." "But your children's children will know that you fell for a noble cause." "Now, who's with me?" "Duckie?" "useless, every one of you!" "Fine." "I'II defend myself, and the hell with all of you!" "There, I've gone and soiled myself." "Are you happy now?" "Our leader is here to take us on our journey!" "My children, rejoice." "The hour of transformation is close at hand." "Who are you?" "This is Meg, wise one." "Can she come with us?" "Perhaps." "Do you have a mind that seeks enlightenment and a heart that seeks purity?" "Not really." "Okay." "Are you a confused adolescent desperately seeking acceptance from an undifferentiated ego mass that demands conformity?" "Wow, that sort of sounds more like me." "Great!" "Then all you need is a dark-bIue jogging suit." "Let's see what we have in stock." "What are you?" "About a 9?" "No." "A 6." "Right." "Dispense the refreshments." "Meg, there you are." "Dad, what are you doing here?" "I'm so embarrassed, I couId die!" "GUY:" "Not before the rest of us!" "Meg, your mother wants the family together today." "It's just Stewie's birthday." "So what if I'm not there?" "Who's gonna remember?" "Your mom will, trust me." "She remembers everything." "In fact, she always says the best memories she has are when you kids were born." "Meg, that's it." "This day is more for your mom than it is for Stewie." "With all she's given us, she oughta get whatever she wants." "And, Meg, today she wants you to be with the family." "really?" "Daddy, you must think I'm the worst daughter ever." "No you're not, honey." "What about that fat girl from the Judds?" "I'm sorry I've been so selfish." "I miss my mom." "Me, too." "I also miss my nads." "Mr. Griffin, can we come to Stewie's party, too?" "Sure." "The more the merrier." "Meg, you have the coolest family." "She sure does." "Here's to family!" "To family!" "Jeez, look at the time!" "Come on." "Come on, kids." "Let's get going." "Sorry, Meg." "It's another bunch of people that'd rather fake death than go to a party with you." "children, the time of ascension has arrived." "For the love of God." "Haven't any of you ever been in a cult before?" "Damn it!" "I can't achieve transcendence by myself." "That would just make me some kind of Ione nut." "Somebody's got to die with me." "Come back, Meg!" "Whoops." "Can't forget my ceremonial white robe." "I guess there's nothing left but the birthday cake." "MEG:" "Right here!" "Meg!" "I'm sorry, Mom." "Thank you, Peter." "No problem." "I cannot wait to taste this cake." "The guy who sold it to me said it was delicious and erotic." "Peter, there's a naked man on this cake." "There were only two left." "And trust me, you did not want the one of AI Roker with the Hershey Kiss nipples." "Gather round, everyone." "It's time for Stewie's big moment." "hello?" "Is anybody home?" "Greetings, man in white." "I've been expecting you." "Who said that?" "Peek-a-boo!" "I see you!" "You're getting warmer." "Where are you?" "What do you want?" "Freedom!" "What do you want?" "I want to get the hell out of here!" "I'm sorry." "We're fresh out of that." "I'm afraid all that's left is untimely death." "What the hell is this?" "It's a boy!" "Anybody seen Stewie?" "Yeah." "Where is the birthday boy?" "Victory is mine!" "Yes." "And this cake is yours, too." "Stewie, make a wish." "If you blow out the candle, it'II come true." "That's right, little buddy." "What do you want most in the whole world?" "In the whole world, you say?" "What the hell."
