Peter Griffin Am I right? Who’s with me?
Mr. Weed This year we will defeat those Pranksters with our secret weapon Guillermo.

Mr. Weed Bravo!
Mr. Weed I hired Guillermo because I believe he’ll be an asset to our company on and off the field.
Mr. Weed MR. WEED: You have impeccable credentials.
Mr. Weed I’m sure I can find a position for you somewhere.
Mr. Weed Back to work, people.

Pat Summerol PAT: You got it.
Chris Griffin Well, you were close, Dad.
Peter Griffin Yeah. I still can’t believe we missed the phrase, “My hairy aunt.”
Peter Griffin Come on, Brian. I gotta get to softball practice.
Lois Griffin Practice? I thought we’d go next door and welcome our new neighbors.
Peter Griffin No. I don’t want anything to do with neighbors.
Peter Griffin Last guy who lived next door borrowed my toaster. Never saw it again.
Man If that slut wants full custody of the kids, she’s got it.
[Short-circuiting]
Lois Griffin Peter, they might be very nice people.
Peter Griffin “Very nice people.” Yeah, that’s what they always say.
Peter Griffin Then you open up the septic tank and… Skeleton city!

Mr. Weed MR. WEED: Okay, time for batting practice, my Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Boys.
Mr. Weed Guillermo, you’re up.
Mr. Weed Unfortunately Johnson isn’t here to pitch today. His wife is in labor.
Peter Griffin Oh, what? Is the baby coming out of him? Jeez, I’ll pitch.
Mr. Weed I don’t know what’s more questionable, your pitching arm or Bill Clinton’s integrity.
Peter Griffin Oh, how hard…
[Laugh track]
Peter Griffin Oh, how hard can it be to pitch?
Mr. Weed Okay. Take your base.
Mr. Weed Somebody call 911.
Mr. Weed Tell them he is allergic to penicillin and white zinfandel!
Mr. Weed Idiot! If you don’t find a ringer to replace Guillermo, you’re fired!
Peter Griffin Man. What’ll I do if I get fired? I’ll have to go back to my old job as a Calvin Klein model.

Peter Griffin Where the hell am I gonna find a guy as strong as Guillermo?
Peter Griffin One time I walked into the locker room, I swear he was bench-pressing Mr. Weed.
Peter Griffin PETER: Great. Lois is getting chummy with the new neighbors.
Brian Griffin BRIAN: She wants you to meet them.
Peter Griffin PETER: She’s always making me be social.
Peter Griffin Cocktail parties, school functions, that time we planted trees in Jerusalem.
Peter Griffin What? Look, all I’m saying is put an Israeli guy next to an Arab guy and I can’t tell the difference.
Joe Swanson You must be Peter. Joe Swanson.
Peter Griffin Yeah, yeah. Nice to meet you, Phil.
Peter Griffin You got a neighbor on the other side of your house, too.
Peter Griffin So, don’t think you always have to bug me.
Joe Swanson I’ll keep that in mind. Say, do you have a screwdriver I can borrow?
Peter Griffin Man, you neighbors are like viruses. Starts with a screwdriver.
Peter
Griffin
Before you know it, you’re using my supermarket my dry cleaner, and even my postman.
Peter Griffin Can you believe that guy? “Do you have a screwdriver I can borrow?”
Peter Griffin What an ass.
Brian Griffin Did you find a replacement for the team?
Peter Griffin No. Believe me, I’ve been looking.
Manager Hideo-san would be honored to play for your team.
Manager But he wishes to know what compensation you offer.
Peter Griffin Me love you long time.
Brian Griffin Gosh, I’d like to help. But I’ve gotta go out in the hall and chew on my ass for five minutes.
Lois Griffin Peter, I invited Joe and Bonnie to your game on Saturday.
Peter Griffin Lois, I don’t want those people there.
Peter Griffin See, this is why I ask you to submit everything to me in writing first.
Lois Griffin Bonnie told me Joe is a big baseball fan. He played in college.
Peter Griffin He did?
Peter Griffin Welcome to the neighborhood.
Peter Griffin Hiya, Joe.
Joe Swanson Peter!
Peter Griffin Don’t get up.
Joe Swanson This is a surprise. I kinda thought you didn’t like me.
Peter Griffin What? Because of what I said this afternoon. No.
Peter Griffin See I have that disease where stuff pops out of your mouth.
Peter Griffin Go to hell! Whoops. See what I mean?
Joe Swanson I’m so sorry.
Joe Swanson I thought maybe I crossed the line when I asked to borrow a screwdriver.
Peter Griffin Are you kidding? You can borrow whatever you want.
Joe Swanson Great. Say, you don’t happen to have any picture wire, do you?
Peter Griffin Picture wire? You son of a bitch.
[Dreamy ringing]
Peter Griffin Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! There it goes again.
Joe Swanson I don’t want to impose.
Peter Griffin No problem. That’s what neighbors do. You know what else they do?
Peter Griffin They play on their neighbor’s company softball team like this Saturday.
Peter Griffin PETER: What do you say, neighbor?
Joe Swanson JOE: Sounds fun.
Peter Griffin So much fun it should be illegal like copyright infringement.
Peter Griffin [Mickey voice] See you at the game, Joe.
[Cheery instrumental music]

Man 2 I’m cold.
Lois Griffin Hey, Peter!
Mr. Weed MR. WEED: It’s nice that your family is here.
Mr. Weed If your ringer doesn’t arrive soon, you can spend every day with them at home.

Peter Griffin PETER: He can hit, he can throw…
Joe Swanson JOE: Peter!
Mr. Weed MR. WEED: What’s he doing in a wheelchair?
Peter Griffin Holy crip, he’s a crapple!
Mr. Weed Peter, our new secret weapon is this very attractive paraplegic?

Joe Swanson Eat up, everyone. Tonight my wife won’t be the only one enjoying a pig in a blanket.
Bonnie Swanson BONNIE: Joe, you’re so funny.

Peter Griffin That’s what kids want to play with. Yeah. A Beanie Baby in a bubble.
Peter Griffin What about my idea? Come on! Tootie morphs into a stink bug.
Mr. Weed Joe, you’re exactly the kind of man we need at our company.
Mr. Weed Peter, make yourself useful. Go get Joe a drink.
Peter Griffin Jeez, first he takes my friends. Then he takes my job.
Peter Griffin But the way I wear my hat…
Peter Griffin No, no. He can’t take that away from me.
Stewie Griffin You! How came you by this metal construct?
Stewie Griffin I demand to know who made you!
Lois Griffin Stewie, it’s not polite to point.
Lois Griffin I’m so sorry.
Joe Swanson That’s okay, Lois. He’s just curious about the chair.

Joe Swanson He did curse my name just before the injection.
Lois Griffin Peter, what’s the matter with you?
Peter Griffin Why are you guys making such a big deal over Joe?

Robber 2 ROBBER 2: We got hostages! Don’t try anything funny!
Peter Griffin Don’t worry, Brian. I got a plan.
Brian Griffin Good. I was afraid you were just gonna improvise.
Peter Griffin Actually, I was gonna use the little girl as a human shield and run like hell.
Peter Griffin But improvise, that’ll be easier on my back.

Robber So if anyone’s gonna bust me, I’m glad it’s you.
[Tense instrumental music]
Peter Griffin But… But I was gonna be a hero.
Robber Nobody’s going anywhere!
Lois Griffin Joe, it’s Peter! He’s in trouble!
? A failed robbery at Quahog Bank and Trust has led to a terrifying hostage situation.
? That’s right. A hostage situation.
? I gotta go.
? I know.
Robber If we want the cops to take us seriously, we have to waste a hostage. But who?
Peter Griffin Excuse me. Shouldn’t that be “whom”?
Robber Okay, you.
Peter Griffin Crap!
Joe Swanson JOE: This is Police Lieutenant Joe Swanson. I know we can work this out.
Peter Griffin Not him again. I hope this place isn’t wheelchair accessible.
Lois Griffin Bonnie, it’s Peter.
Bonnie Swanson Don’t worry. Joe’s an excellent negotiator.
Bonnie Swanson I was a virgin when we met. It took him three hours.
Meg Griffin I can’t believe my dad is in there.
Meg Griffin This’ll probably scar me for the rest of my life.
Meg Griffin I got a new dress.
Joe Swanson Try talking about him.
Meg Griffin So do you like music?
Kevin Swanson Yeah! I played guitar in a band before we moved.
Kevin Swanson But it interfered with my studies. What do you listen to?
Meg Griffin You first.
Kevin Swanson I’m into Garbage, Phish, Blur.
Kevin Swanson My parents don’t like me listening to that stuff.
Kevin Swanson But I do anyway because I am not a robot!
Kevin Swanson I also like Radiohead.
Joe Swanson And even though society has turned its back on you I promise you there are people who care.
Joe Swanson And you know what? I’m
one of them.
Robber He sure gets it.
Robber Maybe he’s right. We can make a new start.
Robber Come on, guys.
Peter Griffin Don’t let him sweet talk you like that.
Peter Griffin Wait. You can’t leave now.
Peter Griffin PETER: I’m supposed to be the hero. Wait!
Peter Griffin Can you let me pistol-whip you a couple times for the camera?
Peter Griffin Stupid robbers with your guns and your make-out parties.
[Crowd cheering]
[Cops cheering]
Stewie Griffin Excellent!
Stewie Griffin They detached the human component from the machine.
Stewie Griffin Machine, I am your new master and I order you to go!
Stewie Griffin Engage!
Stewie Griffin Blast! Must be some kind of proprietary command system.
Stewie Griffin Now on the Russian MiG, it’s next to the altimeter.
Lois Griffin There you are. I can’t turn my back on you for a second.
Stewie Griffin One day I shall unlock the secret of that device.
Stewie Griffin And when I do, Mother, victory shall be…
Lois Griffin Peter, you had us so worried. What on earth were you trying to prove?
Peter Griffin I’m sorry. Joe is a great guy.
Peter Griffin I guess I was just tired of him being your hero.
Lois Griffin Peter, Joe is a hero. But he’s not our hero.
Lois Griffin You are.
Peter Griffin Really?
Lois Griffin Yeah.
Lois Griffin You’re always right there on the couch for us, making us laugh when we’re upset.
Lois Griffin Changing the channel when something boring comes on.
Lois Griffin Eating the last slice of pizza so the rest of us don’t fight over it.
Meg Griffin Yeah, Daddy. If you hadn’t pulled this stunt I wouldn’t know how to manipulate Kevin.
Chris Griffin And when the kids at school see us on TV they’ll think you’re a total psycho. And I can say, “That psycho is my dad!”
Olympic Figure Skater I wouldn’t have won silver in Nagano, had you not driven me to the ice rink every morning at 6:00 a.m.
Peter Griffin I guess being a hero isn’t always about saving lives and catching bad guys.
Peter Griffin It’s also about just being there for the people you love.
Old Woman OLD WOMAN: Help! Someone just stole my purse!
Peter Griffin Who cares? I don’t even know you.
