“What kind of a holiday is it where you don’t give...”
— Charles Schultz

I needed that boost today.

Joe: (knocking on the door) Hey, everything okay in there? I heard shouting.
Stewie: Dog, answer it. Tell him "Yes, everything's fine."
Brian: (opens the door) Yes Joe, everything's fine.
Joe: Ah, okay, good.
Stewie: (hiding behind the door, telling Brian what to say) Make fun of his wheelchair.
Brian: What?
Joe: What?
Stewie: Do it! Say "ha ha ha ha ha ha, you're in a wheelchair."
Brian: (to Joe) Ha ha ha ha ha ha, you're in a wheelchair.
Joe: What's that supposed to mean?
Stewie: Say "I bet you can't get a boner."
Brian: (to Joe) I bet you can't get a boner.
Joe: That's not very nice, Brian.
Stewie: "Neither is your mother's ass."
Brian: (to Joe) Neither is your mother's ass.
Joe: Well, I'll give you that one.
Stewie: Now tell him you've always thought he was handsome.
Brian: (to Joe) I've always thought you were handsome.
Joe: Well, I gotta tell you Brian, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Please call me if you see any sign of Stewie.
Stewie: Tell him "ha ha ha ha ha ha, just kidding about the handsome thing."
Brian: Oh come on.
Stewie: Do it!
Brian: Come on, that meant a lot to him.
(Stewie cocks the gun)
Brian: (to Joe) Ha ha ha ha ha ha, just kidding about the handsome thing.
Joe: Ah, well that's, uh disappointing. I needed that boost today.
