(believing Stan's mother is a black-widow who kills her dates after their third outing)
Roger: Francine, they're on date number three! We have to go save Hercules! And we have to go in disguise.
Francine: Right. Because otherwise, she'll recognize us.

Francine: You have an accountant?!?!
Roger: I have an accountant costume!!!! -
Klaus: (on the phone, ordering a hooker) Yes, about 6 foot, blond, stacked, not afraid to get down with a fish. Oh, and this is very important; she must be nine months pregnant. (hears a hangup click) Hello?

Stan: Francine, my mother's very vulnerable right now. Every guy she goes out with dumps her on the third date, and why wouldn't they? She's all dried up. Her uterus is an abandoned theater. Nothing in there but old playbills and memories. Some say there's a phantom that only comes out at night. (Stan's mom starts crying) Stan: Don't be scared. It's just a legend.

Stan: Horny, I'm home! I mean, honey, I'm horny! I mean, Francine, I'm horny! Francine: Oh, Stan, I missed you! Stan: And I'm horny.
