Laughing |
|
[Death arrives at the Griffins’ to take Peter away.]
Death: Come on, man, which one of you’s Peter Griffin?
Peter: [holding up lamp] Um… this is Peter Griffin.
Death: [sarcastic laughter] Hey, that’s a good one! [more laughter]
[pause]
Lois: Why are you--
Death: [interrupting] No, wait! I’m not finished holding my sides! [laughter]
Lois: Why are you--
Death: [uproarious laughter]
[pause]
Lois: Why--
Death: [even more laughter]

Sprained Ankle |
|
[Death has sprained his ankle after chasing Peter.]
Meg: I got a B-plus in health. Is there anything I can do?
Death: Yeah—why don’t you boil some water and rip up some sheets there, Einstein? It’s a sprained ankle!
|
Dire Consequences |
|
[Peter goes to leave.]
Death: Hey, wait, wait—you can’t tell anyone I’m here. For if humanity discovers I’m no longer lurking in the shadows, the consequences will be dire.
Peter: Go on…
Death: That’s it. [to Lois] What the hell do you see in him?
|
Bored as Hell |
|
[Death is playing the board game “Life” with Lois.]
Lois: It’s your turn, Death.
Death: Yeah, I know I should find this ironic, but really, I’m just bored as hell. [flipping through the television channels] Hey, how old is this TV? You could probably get the DuMont Network on this thing.
|
Crap Cocoa |
|
Lois: Could you please find it in your heart to spare him? After all, it isn’t really his time—
Death: [interrupting] What’d you make this cocoa out of, crap?
Lois: [sighs] If you want me to make it again, I—
Death: [interrupting] Sorry, Lois. It’s my fault. I assumed you were going to make it with milk, not crap.
|
Glamour |
|
[Meg enters the room with a magazine.]
Meg: I brought you something to read.
Death: Oh, Glamour, great! I can learn how to please my man! [handing magazine back] Go get me an Entertainment Weekly. I hear it’s got a great picture of me sneaking up on Tom Snyder.
|
Teen Years |
|
Lois: Stewie, leave Death alone.
Death: He’s okay! He reminds me a lot of me at that age. I just hope his teen years went better than mine. Boy, talk about awkward.
[Flashback to a remote area and the outside of a rocking car.]
Female: [passionate sounds]
Death: Oh, Sandy! Oh, Sandy! Ohhh…
[The car stops rocking.]
Death: [pause] Sandy? Oh, not again! I’m gonna be a virgin forever! [pause] Or am I?
[The car begins rocking again.]

If You Get My Drift |
|
[Lois is pleading for her husband’s life.]
Lois: He has so much to live for, Death! He loves his children, and—
Death: Okay, okay. I’ll spare his life. But, uh, you owe me, if you get my drift.
[Lois begins to undress.]
Death: What the hell are you doing? I was talking about another fruit cup! Not bad though.
|
Death Leaves |
|
[Death is leaving the Griffin household.]
Lois: We’re gonna miss you, Death.
Death: Hey, don’t worry. I’ll be back—really really soon. [laughs] “Is he joking?” [laughs] Okay, see ya later!
