    • Peter: (sigh) My last beer. Here goes! (Peter swallows the beer and looks in the bottle) Peter: (sighs and drops the beer bottle) I bet the scroll makes the beer taste terrible. (coughs) O-Oh god. (Peter vomits and looks at the ground) Peter: What the hell? (picks up and examines what appears to be the scroll) I found it! I found the last scroll! Guy #1: He found it! Guy #2: Oh my god! Guy #3: Run home, Peter! Run as fast as you can! (Peter runs home, but he trips when he gets there) Peter: Ahh!! (sszzzes, does it about 10 times)
    • Mayor Adam West: All right, listen to me you long-neck bastard. You give me the scroll, and I'll make you the head of sanitation services for the entire city. It's a do-nothing job, sweetcake.
    • Tom Tucker: That's right. I made it up. I thought that if everyone thought the last scroll was found, they would stop looking giving me the edge to find it myself. But what I did was wrong. So as an act of contrition I will now insert this carnivorous earwig into my brain. (Puts the earwig in his ear) Huh, kind of tickles. (He takes a deep breath and then falls to the ground screaming) Oh god! It's eating out the back of my eye!

    • The Don: You come to me and ask me to kill a man I do not know. Now I ask you...why should I kill this Count Chocula? Cap'n Crunch: Because that son of a bitch has been spreading lies. My cereal does not cut the roof of your mouth...with all respect.

    • Lyrics to "Pure inebriation" Take a drink, and you'll sink, to a state of pure inebriation. You'll be tanked, like the whole Irish nation. When you drink enough of my beer, you will find this magic brew'll, Make your every joke a jewel. You'll drive drunker than Oksana Bayul. Go on buds drink my suds, 'till you've reached that pure inebriation. though the beer may be free, you're just renting it from me.
    • Peter: It's like I died and went to heaven, but then it turned out it wasn't my time, and they sent me to a brewery.

Finding it hard to go up and down stairs What do you think of the one you call God? Isn't his absence slight-ly odd?

    • Peter and Brian: Farting
      The scene where Peter and Brian sneak into to secret room to drink the Perma-Suds beer that never goes flat and then they get lifted into the air is still a take-off of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The only way Peter and Brian can get back down from drinking beer is by farting.

      The entire tour in the brewery is a parody of the famous book, and later renamed film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
    • Peter's Last Brain Cell: The scene where Peter's last brain cell breaks his glasses is in reference to the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last" where the last man on Earth breaks his glasses and is no longer able to read, his favorite hobby.
