Where's the hosiery?

Hi. I'm a -year-old wild card, and...

Well, let's get you a g*n already!

Oh, Peter, I'm so glad
you're finally doing

something positive for your health.

What do you think about this treadmill?

Yeah, this one's good.

Let me ask a salesperson
for help like a complete beta.

Excuse me, sir... Oh, oh,
you're helping someone else.

I'll be with you in one second.

Yeah, no, no. You're busy, I see.

Help him, then help her,
then whoever's after them.

I'll just wait here
and feel the running shirts.

Sir, do you need help?

I'm waiting for Josh.

- (LOUD RATTLE)
- What the hell?

Peter, what the hell is that?

It's my new pitching machine, Lois.

And look, it can turn our car
into a silly t*nk!

Watch me nail Cleveland. (GRUNTS)

CLEVELAND: I got one, too, bitch!

All right, Chris, time for your old man

to teach you how to swing a bat.

But I've been playing
Little League since I was seven.

Oh, that's all right.

After all, this is
about father-son bonding

and not about hitting you in the nuts

to get on America's
Funniest Home Videos.


Wait, why are you pointing
the pitching machine

at my crotch? Ah! Hey!

Come on, Chris.
You and me up there at AFV

in boxy, six-button suits.

The kings of , just for one night.

ANNOUNCER: Or will it be
"Two Balls One Strike,"


submitted by Peter Griffin
of Quahog, Rhode Island?


And the winner is...

"Fainting Groom,"

of Berkley, Michigan.

(ALL SCREAMING)

And... I'm waking up outside again.

Got to sleep to grow, guys.

Got to sleep to grow.

Oh, thanks for letting us
stay here, Daddy.

We'll be out of your hair
as soon as the house dries out.

You know, Carter,
we don't mean to be a bother.

Why don't we just stay at a hotel,

and you pay for the hotel

and it should be the LEGOLAND hotel?

I'm not giving you money

for almost drowning
my daughter and grandchildren.

Besides, I have
to leave town for a couple days,

and I need someone I can trust
to look after the place.

Where's Babs? Why can't she do it?

I don't know.
The ransom note didn't say.

Daddy, I didn't know
you were leaving town.

- Where are you going?
- Ah, just some funeral.

I'll be back in a couple of days.

I left food out for the butlers,

just change their litter boxes
tomorrow if you think of it.

A funeral? Who d*ed?

Just a... (STAMMERS)
just an old family friend.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, a family friend?
Was it someone I knew?

All right, look,
I didn't want to say anything,

but it was Meredith, your old nanny.

Meredith? Oh, I loved that woman.

I was so sad when she quit.

Wow, Lois, you were lucky
to have a nanny.

My mom just left me with a radio

possessed by the former owner
of our home.

Can I have a snack?

RASPY VOICE (ON RADIO):
You're sitting where I d*ed.


Why are you even going, Daddy?

People always want the richest
person they ever worked for

to attend their funeral.

They'll be, like,
"Oh, my God, a rich person!

I guess it's okay
he's talking on his phone."

Well, I can't miss Meredith's funeral.

Yeah, I'd better go, too.

But I need you to watch the house!

Oh, Peter and the kids are
more than capable

of watching the house.

Kids? They're staying?

- But they love funerals!
- Peter, enough.

Daddy, I'm coming with you.

(SIGHS) Fine. Ass, gas, or grass?

- No one rides free.
- I guess... gas?

That's what all the prudes say.

Did you know this house is so large

there's a -second echo?

What are you talking about?

The acoustics are such
that it takes the human voice

seconds to bounce back as an echo.

That's ridiculous. Not even
the Grand Canyon has a...

STEWIE'S ECHO: Did you
know this house is so large

there's a -second echo?

- Ridiculous, huh?
- Okay, I'm hearing it now.

- (ECHO CONTINUES)
- Well, next time, maybe don't doubt me

when I tell you the acoustics are such

that it takes seconds
for the human voice to travel.

I think we should hang
some blankets in the hallway.

STEWIE'S ECHO: Ridiculous, huh?

BRIAN'S ECHO: Okay, I'm hearing it now.

- (ECHOING VOICES CONTINUES)
- Guys, I have a great idea.

(ECHOING FLATULENCE)

That's weird.
That fart was from yesterday.

Great idea, Peter!

Listen, I was thinking,
what if we make some extra cash

by turning this place into a hotel?

PETER'S ECHO: Great idea, Peter!

Awesome! We're all in!

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go apologize

to the hotel towels for
what's about to happen to 'em.

Men, tonight you will have
one last night of peace.

I won't lie to you,

a hotel guest has no regard
for your life.

That means some of you
will not be coming back.

Those who do will never be
one color again.

Now, here are your assignments:

Anderson, you're late-night vomit.

Russo, you'll be in the ladies' room.

- Ooh!
- (WHISTLES)

All right, knock it off, at ease.

Edwards, you're gonna be folded
into a monkey

at the foot of the bed,
and then (BLEEP) on.

Look at Edwards, he's into it!

- Ooh!
- At ease!

Well, it'll be nice to have
a little road trip together.

Yeah, we never had a lot of
daddy-daughter time

when I was young.
You were always so busy.

Not now, kitten.

Oh, look!

That's just like the pond
Meredith used to take me to.

(SIGHS) I miss her so much.

Yeah, I could always talk to her
when I was having a hard time.

(CRYING)

Lois, what's wrong?

All the kids at school said
I'm MADtv funny

and not SNL funny.

Oh, Lois, kids can be so mean.

Have you ever heard the story

- of "The Ugly Duckling?"
- No.

Well, there once was a young duckling

who had a hard time fitting in,
just like you.

And one day, that duckling
went off to college

and created a website to rate women.

Then he made $ billion

and mined user data to rig an election.

Wow! So am I also gonna be
a billionaire making websites?

No, but you'll use his site
to post pictures of wine

and passive-aggressively
body-shame other moms.

All right, for this
hotel operation to work,

we all got to pull our weight
around here.

Chris, you'll be the affable
but dim bellhop.

When you say, "Help those people
with their bags,"

I'll ask, "How high?"

Brian, you'll tend the bar

and dole out snappy tidbits of advice.

All right! Stop by Brian's Bar

for some drinks, thinks and winks.

(CHUCKLES) We can...
we-we can pitch on it.

Uh, Meg, you'll handle
all the dish washing,

floor scrubbing, laundry,
and anything else

that involves breathing in chemicals.

And I'll be the concierge,
astutely learning

everything there is to know
about our guests.

That will be my one task.

Well, that and looking out for Dunstons.

- What?
- Dunstons. They'll check in.

They'll check right in.

a little romance in their lives.

And I'm the perfect man for the job.

After all, I do all

So, you're not interested in

Oh, good, Kevin's going to love that.

Meredith was my nanny a long time ago.

You see, Meredith... Dark, darkness,

Meredith loved her time as a nanny.

It's a shame she had to
give it up after the affair.

Affair?


I know. We try not to talk about it.

Some rich guy in Rhode Island. (SCOFFS)

They were seeing each other,
but then his wife found out

and forced him to fire her.

(GASPS)

So that's what happened.

Tragic, isn't it?

She had nowhere to go,
so she came back here

to our childhood home
of ThreeStatesAway.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe the Earth
is round, so that's me.

that lasted five years.

What was I supposed to do?

Yeah, I don't want to hear it.

Do you have any idea
what that woman meant to me?

While you were off working
or golfing or God knows what,

she was at my piano recitals

or-or teaching me how to tie my shoes.

She was the only person in that house

who was really there for me,
and you took her away!

Well, what was I supposed to tell you,

how many Viagras and what position?

Six, and something I call
"The Old Pocketknife."

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Hello, there.

Maybe I could see you between periods.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Looks like you've got your hands full.

I just don't know what to do.

Well, who do you think I should choose?

Well, if it were me in this situation,

I'd just go along for the ride

That's it? That's your advice?

Well, it's just what I...

I'd like to ask Lois Griffin

That's the daughter of the richest man

Hi, I'm Lois Griffin.

I, uh, I-I just wanted to be here today

to say goodbye to Meredith
and thank you.

Thank you for raising me,
and-and-and for being there

when no one else was.

That's why I was so hurt when you left,

and I always held it against you,

but now I realize
I-it wasn't your fault.

You know she can't hear you, right?

But no matter what happened, Meredith,

thank you for being my teacher.

Even today, you're teaching me

that the people you love most
of all can still betray you.

And now, a reading from Paul's
letter to the Corinthians.

"Dear Corinthians, camp is good.

"Yesterday we had hot dogs.

"Please send strawberry Big League Chew
