Notes

add »
In the [adult swim] and Canadian airings, there is additional footage after Brian's argument about what kind of guy he is that wasn't in the original version. An advertisment pops up at the bottom of the screen for The Simpsons featuring Marge. Eventually, Quagmire comes out and tries to have sex with her, but she fights him off and runs away, only to be heard off-screen enjoying it. At the end of the scene, Quagmire and Marge reappear, and she takes him back to her house, where Quagmire ends up killing all the members of the Simpson family. (edit)

(Brian and Jillian are having sex)
Brian: Oh, yeah. You like that, huh?
Jillian: Yeah, it's rad!
Brian: Please don't talk. (edit)

Jillian: Brian, did you know that Daryl Hannah has one wooden finger?
Brian: Really? Where'd you read that?

Jillian: Oh my God, I have never felt so stupid.
Stewie and Brain: Really?? (edit)
Lois: So Meg, any luck in finding another job?

(cuts to living room, Meg is on the couch talking on the phone)
Meg: What am I wearing? Um, a hat, and glasses. What kind of underwear? Um, I don't know, big underwear I guess. I'm sorry, what? Oh, what would I do to you? Well, um, I guess maybe we'd get pizza, and we could watch House?
(Cuts to Peter upstairs, also on the phone)
Peter: Alright, I am totally flaccid, but thank you anyway ma'am, I appreciate your time. (hangs up the phone) (edit)
