    • Lois: Now you shouldn't be frightened Stewie. What you saw was actually a very beautiful thing. Stewie: Evidentally, madame, you and I differ greatly in our conception of beauty. Because what I just witnessed was ghastlier than a thousand ghouls! Lois: Stewie, mommies and daddies like to hug each other that way. In fact sweetie, that's sort of how you were created. Stewie: Oh! That is a vile and odious lie! How dare you fill my head with such loathesome propaganda! Get out you horrid woman! Get out!
    • Peter: Look, Chris, it's a whole family of wasps. (Camera shifts to a highbrow family eating dinner) Dad: My, Margaret, what a sub par ham. Mom: Perhaps I can't make a good ham, but what I can cook up is a little grace and servility at the dinner table. Dad: (To daughter) Patty, did you know your mother's a whore?
    • Lois: Stewie, look what Mommy made for dessert. Stewie: Ooh, Jell-O. How exotic! I feel like I'm on the deck of the QE II.
    • Meg: Tell him yourself. Chris: I can't, I don't wanna disappoint him again. Like that time he tried to sneak me into the fair. (Flashback) (Peter comes up to a ticket stand dressed as the front of a horse. Chris is the rear.) Peter: Uh, one please? Chris: (From in the horse's behind) A-choo! Ticket man: Hey wait a minute, your ass just sneezed! And horses can't talk!.... no, no this doesn't make any sense at all!
    • (Watching Happy Days) Brian: You have anything lower on that remote than mute?
    • Meg: Nice going, Mom. I finally get my driver's licence, and you lose the car to a poker machine? How ironic! Peter: Hey, don't talk to your mother like that! She is not an i-ron.
    • Peter: Huh, I didn't know anyone in this family had any talent. Well, except for that thing your mother does. Chris: You mean play the piano? Peter: No no, she... yeah.
    • Peter: Hey Fonzie. You were with a lot of girls.. did you ever get a sexual disease? The Fonz: Herpes twice. And the clap. Ehhhh!
    • Brian: Oh, dear god. You saw them together, didn't you? Stewie: Uh huh... Brian: ...You know the tub where you take your little baths? ...They did it there too. Stewie: (GASPS) AHHHHHHHH!
    • Peter: Three days? That's tomorrow.
    • Peter: Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits! It says, 'Oooooo!' Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.
  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Peter's "Canada Sucks" comment at the end of the episode sparked angry letters from Canadians. Funny thing is, the writer of this episode, Ricky Blitt, is a Canadian himself.
    • We first learn that Chris is a talented artist during this episode, but this isn't brought up again until the Season Two episode "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks," during which Chris becomes a famous artist.
  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Peter: Ok, I'm not gonna panic. I need to go back in the casino and find a high roller who'll pay $1 million to sleep with my wife. This makes allusion to the 1993 movie Indecent Proposal, starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.
    • Little Red Riding Hood When Peter dresses up as a wolf and jumps out from behind a bush to scare a girl in red, is a reference to the old children's tale Little Red Riding Hood. Of course in the original version, the Big Bad Wolf was more interested in eating Little Red Riding Hood than her picnic basket.
    • The Sun Also Rises The episode title The Son Also Draws is an allusion to the 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, which involved a WWI veteran who became a journalist. There are suggestions in the novel that the protagonist's reclusive lifestyle is partially attributed to impotence due to wounds sustained during the war (thereby making him "less of a man").
    • The More You Know Stewie: The Mexicans are a clean and industrious people with a rich, cultural heritage. This is based on a long running NBC PSA entitled "The More You Know" This segment would feature some interesting information or advice, and would always conclude with the NBC logo and the stinger song for the PSA.
