Peter, this game night was a great idea.

Yeah, this wilI be a lot more fun than last Saturday... when we went to see The vag*na Monologues.

So, in international news, no luck yet finding O*ama b*n L*den.

So the government is trying a new tactic. They've hired Jeff GilIooly.

[Audience member coughing]

GilIooly.

[Man clearing throat]

Sorry, I guess that joke was not so fresh, but you know....

Okay, Joe. Right foot, green. all right, Iet's do it!

Yes! I am the king!

Thanks for including my civil rights board game... in the game night rotation, guys.

We're always happy to play Two Decades of Dignity.

It makes us all feel a little less guilty.

For whistling at a white woman, go directly to jail.

Man, does anyone ever win at this game?

You don't win. You just do a little better each time.

Okay, everybody, time for paintball.

I forgot to pick up the paintball g*ns.

Well, we could use these. I brought them from the office.

Peter, is it safe to be f*ring real g*ns at each other in the house? all right, all right, nobody fire at Lois. She's scared. all right, one, two, three, go!

[g*ns f*ring]

[all exclaiming]

Missed, you ass.

Damn it, Peter, that hurt.

Relax, Quagmire.

You're doing better than Peter Weller from the opening scene of RoboCop.

Well, now that the mess is cleaned up and we're back from the emergency room... it's time for the last game of the night, Trivial Pursuit.

Man, I hate Trivial Pursuit. AIways makes me feel so stupid.

More stupid than that time you locked your keys out of the car?

Damn it!

Hey! Hey! Somebody! Hey!

Hey, sir! Sir, you see those keys there? Sir!

Oh, screw you! all right, Brian, this one's for you.

"What naturally occurring element has the highest melting point of all metals?"

Cadmium?

Sorry, tungsten.

Dumb ass. My turn. What do you got?

Okay, here we go. "What color is a fire truck?"

Oh, God, I always get these.

Okay, all right, fire truck.

Fire truck, fire truck, fire truck, fire truck, what color are those red fire trucks?

Oh, God, I can picture them now, all red and everything.

That's right, Peter, they are red.

Lois, what are you doing?

[Whispering] I switched Peter's questions to the pre-school edition.

Just to let him have his moment.

Good thing I just watched that National Geographic special on fire trucks.

Narrator: A solitary k*lIer, the fire truck st*lks its prey.

The fire truck can consume eight times its body weight.

[Horn blaring]

Narrator: The ambulances wilI have to wait their turn.

Okay, Brian, "Name the 16th century ecumenical body...

"that marked a major turning point for Christianity in Europe."

I think that was the Council of Trent.

You could not be more wrong.

The answer is PhylIis DilIer.

Peter, you're reading the pink--

My turn.

Okay, Peter, this is for the win.

"Say the word 'what."'

Wow. Okay.

This really separates the men from the boys.

Peter, just say "what."

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, now, Lois. This is not a race.

Okay, I wanna say "who."

Oh, boy.

Fantastic Four.

Fantastic Four, steak, steak, steak, steak, a small amount of peas.

Is it "what?"

That's right. You win, Peter. You did it.

Oh, my God! I won. I won!

My dad's smarter than your dad.

We have the same dad, idiot.

Yeah, but mine's smarter.

What a feeling.

This is even better than that time I met Timer the Cheese Guy.

[Singing] I hanker for a hunk of A slab or slice or chunk of I hanker for a hunk of cheese When your get-up-and-go has got up and went Howdy, pardner.

Pardon me, sir. I Iive next door.

It is 3:30 in the morning. I am very tired.

Look, a wagon wheel.

What the hell is your problem?

I just smoked a whole bunch of cr*ck.

Good night, Iosers.

Well, game night was a success.

Peter, you do know that all your questions were incredibly easy.

Yeah, easy for me. Good night, morons.

You ever stop and think, "Wow, I'm married to that guy"?

No, I just repress it.

Is that healthy?

What's the worst that could happen?

[Singing] I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor Oh, oh, oh, I'm a tumor The administration's plan for peace in the Middle East is shallow and pedantic.

I agree. Shallow and pedantic.

I agree as well. Shallow and pedantic.

Everything all right. Peter?

Well, Lois, since you asked, I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.

What is this, you're gonna talk down to everyone... just because you won a game of Trivial Pursuit?

Perhaps.

Okay, you know what? Fine, you are a genius, Peter.

As a matter of fact, Iet's make it official.

You ever heard of the MacArthur genius grant?

Perhaps.

Well, if you quallfy as a genius... the Foundation wilI give you a $500,000 grant... just to sit around and do whatever you want.

Wow! Imagine what a genius like me could do with all that money. all right, CIoris Leachman, I've bought you legally.

Now juggle these beanbags.

I don't know how to juggle--

God help you, CIoris! Juggle the beanbags!

You may begin your exam now.

Male Voice: A dog says....

[Dog barking]

A cow says....

[Cow mooing]

Of course, of course.

Well, here they are, Brian. My test results. Read them and weep.

Peter, according to this, you're not a genius.

In fact, you're mentally Ret*rded.

Oh, yeah? Well, would a mentally Ret*rded guy...

Oh, yeah? Well, would a mentally Ret*rded guy... have hired a bulIdozer with a drunk driver to level half of his house... in celebration of his fantastic test results?

Maybe.

Uh-oh.

Congratulations.

So, as you can see, you are just over the line of mental retardation.

Don't you mean, just under the line?

The day I'm corrected by a....

I'm sorry. Just please trust the analysis.

Hello. Sally?

Hey, it's Peter Griffin.

That's right, senior prom. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while, yeah.

So, Iisten.

I just found out I'm Ret*rded.

And I'm just calling to let you know... you might want to get yourself tested.

Hello?

Peter, mental retardation usually happens before you're born.

It isn't something you can catch. Don't you think you're overreacting?

Well, excuse me for being Ret*rded.

My whole world has been turned upside down.

BIack is east, up is white.

You know, Peter, I hate to say "I told you so" about not being a genius, but... yeah! In your ... face, ...!

I'm sorry about that.

I can't believe this is happening to me. I can never go back to school again.

Oh, yes, Meg, yes.

Yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this.

Yes, this is the thing that wilI ruin your reputation.

Not your years of grotesque appearance or awkward social graces... or that Felix Unger-ish way you clear your sinuses.

No, no, no, it's this.

Do you hear yourself talk? I might k*lI you tonight.

Peter, you're stilI you.

No piece of paper from the city is gonna tell me... you're any different from the man I married.

And your life's not gonna change because of it.

[CIanking]

What is that?

Oh, my God, what are they doing?

Why are they trying to publicly humiliate me like this?

I mean, what's the purpose.... Shiny red ball.

Peter, watch out!

So what can I do for you, Peter?

Well, Joe, I need to talk to you about something kind of personal.

sh**t.

Well, you know, I took this test... and it sort of turns out that I'm technically mentally Ret*rded.

And, you know, I just wanted to ask... you know, how do you deal with it?

Deal with what?

You know, with being Ret*rded.

Peter, I'm not Ret*rded. I'm handicapped.

Now you're just splitting hairs.

[Singing] Hi, CIeveland Hi, Joseph What's the story, morning glory? What's the word, hummingbird?

Have you heard? Peter Griffin is slow Can he stilI drive a car? Can he drink at a bar?

WilI they let him have kids? Is his life on the skids?

Hello, Mrs. Griffin, it's your neighbor, Quagmire Now that Peter's mental You probably have some needs He's Ret*rded Peter is He's Ret*rded Peter is He's Ret*rded Peter is slow Griffin. Party of two.

Mr. Griffin, we've been expecting you.

Peter, relax. It's for liability reasons.

Now, Iet's just try to enjoy our meal.

I kind of get the helmet. But what's with the water wings?

Well, you did order the soup.

Like something could happen....

Get me out!

These water wings didn't help at all.

This is the worst day of my life.

Now, there are plenty of people who have had worse days.

A parking ticket. I was gone five minutes.

How could this day get any worse?

Oh, my God.

Oh, no!

I wish I could just close my eyes and make all this go away.

Peter, look out!

Holy crap!

Oh, my God!

Mr. Tucker, are you all right?

Do I look like I'm all right? My back is broken and my leg is twisted!

Oh, my God! Your h**ker's dead.

Well, she was already dead, but that doesn't excuse....

Wait a minute. You're Peter Griffin, the Ret*rded fellow.

Yeah.

Well, then don't worry about it.

Wait a minute. You mean you're not even gonna call the cops?

Oh, my God. I could get away with anything.

"And on the sixth day, God said: "'Let the Earth bring forth the living creatures and--"'

Bible fight!

[Woman I screaming]

Sorry. Ret*rded.

That's okay then.

[Woman 2 screaming]

Don't know any better.

BIess your heart.

[Woman 3 screaming]

Jeez, didn't you hear me a second ago? I'm Ret*rded.

You're just curious.

Well, Iet me show you how everything works down there.

Hey, everyone.

Say hello to my state-appointed inspirational social worker, Vern.

It's truly a pleasure to meet you all.

Hey, Peter, Iooks like you've got yourself one super family.

High five! all right!

So, Vern, what exactly is it that you do?

I'm here to lend a hand to my main man, Peter.

Right, Peter?

Right.

High five! all right!

Done.

Peter!

What? I don't know any better.

Peter, I don't like this.

You are really starting to take advantage of this whole situation.

Peter's just expressing himself.

High five for expressing yourself, Peter.

High five! all right!

This man seems bent on diluting the already watered-down significance... of the elevated hand slap.

Hey, Stewie, high five.

Well, it's about time.

Psych.

Damn!

I look even more foolish than when I was at that cocktall party. all right, you're gonna love this. So.... Hang on a sec.

Okay, so these two black guys walk into a bar, and the bartender looks--

Hey, what are you guys talking about?

I was just telling a joke.

So, the bartender looks around and says: "What'll you two fine gentlemen have?"

And they paid their tab and couldn't have been more courteous. all right, my first trip to a fast-food joint as a Ret*rded guy.

Excuse me, pardon me, coming through. Special needs.

Yeah, I'll have a.... Is this thing on?

Attention, restaurant customers. Testicles. That is all.

Give me that.

Sorry, folks. Oh, my God. Is that what my voice sounds like?

It's all whiney and nasally.

You know what? I'm just gonna get my own food.

Peter, get back here.

No freaking way.

The fryolator. I am so taking this.

[Lois screaming]

Lois, you look worse than that Rocky Dennis kid from Mask.

Rocky, I don't even know what you look like.

Can I touch your face?

Of course, Diana.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. What is this?

What is all this?

Am I touching the outside of a house?

Oh, God! You're a monster.

I'm beautiful on the inside.

Yeah, but, Rocky, there's a limit.

What is this now? Does your face have a pelvis?

Oh, God, what have I done? I'm the worst husband ever.

Make that the worst father ever.

Hi, I'm Agent Jessup from Child Services. I'm here to take your kids away.

What? Why?

Because you're mentally unfit to take care of them.

No way!

Oh, my God.

Finally.

I can't believe they took the kids away.

Well, at least CIeveland offered to take care of them.

Sorry you have to share a bed, boys. I'm a little short on space.

Have a good sleep.

Hey, Chris... whatever happened to Geena Davis?

She used to be in movies, but she's not in movies anymore.

She's attractive enough... but when she smiles, you see too much gum.

Not a good tooth-to-gum ratio.

Chris?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

Thanks for letting my friends sleep over, Mr. Brown.

No problem, Meg.

If y'all get hungry, there's some cottage cheese in the fridge.

I'm gonna get me a spoonful now before y'all have at it.

Oh, my God. Craig Hoffman's new car is so cool.

Oh, my God. Totally. I Iove the color.

Really? What color is it?

It's like blue, kind of blue-green.

It's the same color as his eyes.

Wow. I bet he looks so hot driving it.

I heard he bought it from his dad.

Yeah, I remember his dad dropped him off at school in it... one time when he was a freshman.

Doesn't his dad live in Hartford?

I think so.

My aunt Sheila lives in Hartford.

They have a mall there that's pretty cool. It's part underground.

That's awesome.

Damn it, you guys are boring the crap out of me.

It's stupid, mindless chatter, is what it is.

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm just gonna go back to my place and rent a dirty movie.

This is ridiculous.

That was weird. Oh, well. Hey, Iet's compare breasts.

Lois? Hey, how you doing, honey?

Listen, there's no toilet paper in the bathroom... so, I'm just gonna....

There we go.

[Toilet flushing]

Oh, God. Hang on!

The doctors stilI don't know how much longer she's gonna have to be here.

I feel horrible, Brian.

I put Lois in the hospital, and I Iost the kids.

This is turning out worse than Stewie's iPod commercial.

Peter, you just need to show what a good father you are.

Then you can get the kids back from CIeveland.

Wait a second, Brian. You're right.

And the best way to do that is to show what a terrible father CIeveland is.

This plan is so perfect, it's Ret*rded.

Good evening. I'm Dan Rather.

And tonight on CBS News... seven Saudi soldiers s*domize... several of S*ddam 's southern settlement squatters.

[Whistling]

I'm Dan Rather. all right, come on, Iadies. Right this way.

This'll show them that CIeveland's not fit to be a parent.

So, tell me, is there any tread left on the tires at all?

Or at this point, would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?

Oh, my Lord. Look who's here.

Agent Jessup, look at all these prostitutes.

[Singing] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Seven. Seven prostitutes.

This is a shakedown.

Mr. Griffin, this isn't going to work.

Yeah. Peter, you and five of those prostitutes, get out.

So, in conclusion, Peter Griffin, you've inspired me... to distrust all mentally challenged parents.

Thank you, Your Honor.

And thank you, Agent Jessup, for your comically misleading remarks.

Mr. Griffin, do you have anything to say in your defense... as to why this court should return custody of your children to you?

Your Honor, I would like to call to the stand my surprise witness...

The Ghost That Never Lies.

[Exclaiming in surprise]

But I'm the only one who can see him and hear him... so I'll let everyone know what he's saying and doing.

Objection, Your Honor. This is ridiculous.

Overruled. I'll allow it.

You better be going somewhere with this, Mr. Griffin.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ghost That Never Lies... did you witness the events that took place on that fateful day?

You did? Well, how interesting.

And, do you see the culprit or culprits in this courtroom today?

You do?

Well, would you kindly point him or them out for this court?

Don't point at me, you jackass!

Well, if there's nothing further, I hereby sentence--

Wait, wait, wait. Your Honor, there is something further.

Look, I know I screwed up big time.

But I only did it so I could get my kids back.

I Iove them.

And I think it's a bum rap that just because I'm Ret*rded... that makes me an unfit parent.

There are plenty of unfit parents out there who aren't Ret*rded... but they get to keep their kids.

Bing Crosby, Joan Crawford. I think the Ramseys stilI got one left.

I just want them back, Your Honor, and you're the only one who can help me.

What do you say?

Are you kidding? You're a monster.

In fact, if I could...

I would put you in a place where you would be removed from the general public.

Perhaps locked in a big, secure building with other dangerous people... for a pre-determined period of time... based on the nature and degree of your offense.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, no such place exists.

So I have no choice but to set you free.

Does that mean I get my kids back?

Absolutely not. Case closed.

Oh, crap!

It was prison you were thinking of. Prison.

I already banged the hammer.

Man: [On TV] And now, back to Jake and the Fatman.

Hey, look over here on the carpet. That's a cigarette butt.

This is probably evidence.

What do you think was in that Danish?

You think it was cheese?

'Cause I got a little problem with cheese.

Hey, I'm talking about evidence here. There's lipstick on it.

Yeah, well, can you bring it over to me?

I can't move it. This is a crime scene.

Well, can you describe it to me?

You know what? Forget it. I'll take care of this, okay?

Oh, no. Just....

Just let me close my eyes for a minute.

Look, I know his wife is a smoker.

Just yesterday, when we saw her at the country club... she had a cigarette in her hand.

[Snoring]

What, so that's it, Peter? You're just giving up?

I don't know what else to do, Brian.

I guess we're never gonna be a family again.

Hi, Peter.

Oh, my God, Lois.

You're all better.

That's right.

And the doctors say I'll smell Iike French fries for the next six months.

I'll enjoy that.

And, Peter, I got a surprise for you.

You got the kids back.

I Iove you so much, delicious French-fry wife.

Now we can live with you again even though you're a dangerous ret*rd.

Don't say "ret*rd," Chris. We prefer to be called "Iittle people."

Because there's nothing wrong with being mentally challenged.

In fact, I've learned that we are superior people.

Above all you dumb brainy smarties.

Someday, you wilI beg us for mercy and we wilI consider it.

Isn't it wonderful that everything's back to normal?

Yeah.

Oh, God. Nobody move.

What is it?

Nothing. Nothing. I'll get it.
