American Dad! (2005–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Tearjerker - full transcript

# Good morning, U.S.A. #

# I got a feeling that it's
gonna be a wonderful day #

#The sun in the sky
has a smile on his face #

# And he's shining a salute
to the American race #

# Oh, boy, it's swell to say #

# Good morning, U.S.A. #
[ Grunts ]

[ Chorus ]
# Good morning, U.S.A. ##

Yeah, I killed my college roommate.

I can't believe you didn't know that.
I stabbed her.

Oh, sorry I'm late, gang.

Play rehearsal went long.



We just found out Raisin in the Sun...

has an all-black cast,
so we're sort of scrambling.

I had to swing by Home Depot
for a bag of charcoal.

- Oh, I'm sure it'll be great.
- Yeah. When can we see it?

Oh, no. No. You will not
be attending this abortion.

Ugh. The director's an idiot,
the lead can barely speak English...

and the second lead
is 30 pounds overweight.

PS., I'm the second lead,
and I'm starving.

A calzone for Kirk Douglas here.

Now I have an announcement-
New cell phones.

- Yea.
- Yea.
- Heads up, spaceman.

I get a phone?
You're putting me on your family plan?

Roger, what Dad's trying
to say is that you're a Smith.

- We couldn't start a new family plan without you.
- Steve's right.



Steve also needs to learn how
to keep his trap shut...

and let me finish my own moment.

You've defiled my moment, Son-
Right in front of my wife.

Sorry, Dad. I'm just
really happy for Roger.

Wow, that's sweet of you to say, Scotty.

- "Scotty"?
- Aaah. That's my nickname for you.

I chose it ?cause Scotty
is your favorite Star Trek character.

What he does isn't glamorous,
but he keeps the Enterprise running.

The snack cakes are ready.

- Family game night can start.
- Prepare yourselves, people.

The concert of the century is upon us.

Behold! Fabulous Thunderbirds, bitches.

I remember the Thunderbirds. Didn't Stevie
Ray Vaughan play with them for a while?

Better. Stevie Ray Vaughan's
older brother Jimmie.

[ Laughs ]
You guys are so stoked.

But we never said we wanted to see-

Look. I got us killer seats-
Dead center in the loge. Only 17.50 each.

- 17.50 per person?
- I know. Can you believe it?

I'm not charging you the Ticketmaster fee.

I'm eating that-
Along with a big, fat pot brownie.

I am gonna freak the hell out, man.

[ Laughs ]
Yeah!

Full moon tonight.

Oh, Roger, there you are.
You're late for family game night.

- Oh, sorry, guys. I have to miss game night.
- What?

Yeah. The director called
a last-second dress rehearsal.

- Can't you skip it?
- I wish.

The production's a mess,
and it opens tomorrow.

Guess my practical joke of sneaking in
and trashing the stage last night...

didn't really bond the cast
like I was hoping it would.

Be home at 10:00. And good-bye.

- [ Door Shuts ]
- Let's go see Roger's play tomorrow.

I know he said not to, but we should
support him as a member of the family.

- Yeah, we'll surprise him.
- Yes. I'm in agreement.

Hands, please.

Dear Lord, please bless these dice
and my little wheelbarrow.

And please, Lord, give me the strength...

to resist the temptation
to buy the railroads.

Amen. Okay, let's do this.

Five. One, two, three, four-

Reading Railroad. I'll buy it.

All right, here's the theater.

Remember. We're gonna sit in the back
so we don't make Roger nervous.

Oh, I hope there's male nudity.

See a package- a stranger's package-

Mom! The theater's closed.

Excuse me, sir. Is there some kind
of play going on tonight?

Not likely. This building's been
closed almost two years now.

Really? How come
you're still sweeping up then?

I love to sweep. It's my passion.

Simple to learn. Impossible to master.

- Just like making love.
- Okay.

Would you like me to tell you
how a broom's like a phallus?

- Maybe next time.
- It'll only take a second.

They have the same basic shape.

Don't leave me!

- That's so bizarre.
- I know.

Why would Roger lie to us
about being in a play?

- ## [ Cell Phone Answer Tone ]
- Hey, that's Roger's cell phone.

It's a text message
from someone named Christie.

She says she's running late,
and she'll be at Pizza Overlord in 30 minutes.

Wait. Roger's not in a play.

He's got a girlfriend.

- Why wouldn?t he just tell us?
- Maybe he's embarrassed of her.

- Oh, God. She's probably hideous.
- I bet she's huge.

Well, even if she is,
Roger doesn't need to hide her from us.

We should go to Pizza Overlord...

and introduce ourselves
to Roger's new girlfriend.

- What a great idea.
- Sure, why not?

Anyone else kind of hoping she's a midget?

Well, now that you put
the image in my head, yes.

But not the Verne Troyer kind.

That's too "midgety."

Now, remember,
Roger's part of the family...

so if his girlfriend is a midget, we
shouldn't make fun of her to her face.

We'll go to the bathroom in pairs
and laugh it out in there.

Let's partner up.
Me and Hayleyversus you two.

[ Gasps ]
Oh, my God.

Um, Roger's not seeing
a girl behind our back.

- [ All Laughing ]
- He's seeing another family.

Oh, I love doing
breadstick walrus for you, Scotty.

You and I- We get each other.

[ Gasps ]
He's cheating on us.

Family photo.

In three, two-

Oh.

I can't believe Roger is seeing
another family behind our back.

Why would he do that?
I mean, are we not enough for him?

Obviously not. I feel so stupid.

My woman's intuition
picked up on this five days ago...

and I mistook it for ghosts.

That son of a bitch!
"Scotty's your nickname.

He's your favorite
Star Trek character." Yaaah!

Stan, you didn't say one single word
on the way home.

- Doesn't this bother you?
- Bother me? Why would it bother me?

I'm just flipping through the mail,
acting super regular.

He called me by the other boy's name!

[ Screams ]

- [ Door Opens ]
- Who wants pizza?

I wish you guys hadn't
left the restaurant so fast.

I wanted to introduce you to the actors
from my play. That's who I was sitting with.

Actors? Then why were you
taking a family photo with them?

Oh, that? A family of actors, Hayley.
Family of actors.

Have you never heard
of the Barrymores, the Baldwins...

the Olsens, the Fondas, the Estevez-slash-Sheens,
the Gabors, the Redgraves...

- the Beatty-MacLaines, the Arquettes?
- Roger!

The Quaids, the Batemans,
the Culkins, the Cusacks, the Afflecks?

- Roger.
- The Wayans, the Douglases, the Bridges...

the Dillons, the Zimbalists-

Okay, I cheated on you.

You broke my heart.
[ Grunts ]

[ Screams ]

Steve, that was your grand-mama's.

Steve, I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

Look, those people you saw me with-

I met them a couple of weeks ago...

at a street fair in Little Eritrea.

I was buying the jersey
of my favorite Eritrean soccer player-

- [ No Audible Dialogue ]
- Debesai Ghierghis Ogbazghi-
when a family approached me.

Mr. Johnson explained that Ogbazghi
was also his son?s favorite player.

We then traded a few hilarious stories
about Eritrean soccer.

They asked me if I wanted
to hang out some time...

and I stupidly said yes.

Hah! Geez.

Oh, man!

I?m sorry. I was an idiot, okay?

It was a moment of weakness,
and it'll never happen again.

- Can you forgive me?
- Roger, I think we need some time.

Yes. Yes, of course. I understand.

- Without you.
- Yes, of course.

I'm sorry, but you've hurt us,
and we can't see you right now.

Aaah! Ow, my foot.

I'm bleeding.

It stopped. Hi.

Oh, hey, that reminds me.
I'm gonna need my breakfast to go.

- Just "wrap it up. I'll take it."
- What?

"Wrap it up. I'll take it."

The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

- It's one of their two mind-blowing hits.
- Oh.

"Oh," is right, baby.

B.TW., I haven't gotten ticket money
from any of you, wh-which is cool.

I know you're good for it.

I just wanted to use it
to buy some brats to tailgate.

I'm not charging you for that either.
That's my pleasure.

I only have one question though.

"Are you tough enough?"

Is that another song?

Ha! This guy gets it.

Look what I found.
Another gift from Roger.

Oh. A heart-shaped box of chocolates.

That'll fit right
where my heart used to be!

I wonder if he's still outside.

[ Spoon Clatters ]

Go back to your whore family.

Come on. Let's go to another room.

Anybody seen that billboard
for the local news?

I'm supposed to believe
that this town's best reporters...

happen to be from five different races?

Roger? How did you get in?
We changed the locks.

Oh, this morning I followed you
into the market...

and when you weren't looking, I took
your keys and replaced them with yogurt.

Yogurt? How the hell-

I guess we all figured you'd be
with Scotty. How is he, by the way?

Has he been worrying about whether
having boners at night means he's gay?

- Because I have.
- I haven't seen him, Steve.

And now I'd like to read selections
from my letter of apology.

"Dear family. I'm deeply sorry.
Blah, blah, blah.

I've had no further contact
with the Johnsons, blah."

Oh, here's a part I think will get you.

[ Clears Throat ]
"Without you, I'm a butterfly...

who can't find the breeze to carry it."

God, I thought that was too much...

but now that I hear it, it's just right.

[ Groaning ]

I can't hold it in anymore.

[ Groans ]
I miss this.

- What are you talking about?
- This. Him.

The nonexistent letters.
There's nothing written on this.

That's all off the top of his head.

I miss this silly son of a bitch.

- Me too.
- I know.

Let's forgive him.
Let's forgive him, and let's forget.

- God, I'm gonna hug him.
- Oh, Stan, I've missed you too.

Hey!

Move aside.

Don't ever hurt me again.

# Don't go chasing waterfalls #
Dance break.

# Please stick to the rivers
and the lakes #

# That you're used to ##
Hey.

Hey, Roger, we're heading out to dinner.
Want to come?

- Where we grubbin'?
- We're going to the food court at the mall.

Oh, the mall? No, no.
I can't go dressed like this.

Please. Look how Hayley's dressed.

- And that hair.
- Mom!

Well, I'm not happy with your appearance.

Well, that was a delicious mall lobster.

Tony?

I'm gonna go to
the Tommy Bahama store and chill.

- Hey, Tony!
- Roger, that man is talking to you.

- Huh? I don't think so.
- Tony, it's me, Norman.

Yeah, he's definitely talking to you.

- Why would you say that?
- Tony. Tony!

I'm sorry. Do I know you?

Very funny, T.
We just ate with him here an hour ago.

I can't believe you're eating again.

- He's obviously crazy.
- Tony?

- He's acting like he doesn't know us.
- I need to get out.

[ Together ]
Tony!

- There are others.
- What?

You said that family
at the pizza place was the only one.

How many other families are there?

I could ask you the same question.

It wouldn't make any sense,
but I could do it.

I told you I didn't
want to go to the mall.

I can't believe I let you back in.
I feel so stupid.

I-I-I feel like one of those women
who marries a rapist.

- Steve?
- You're dead to me.

You can't have both.
It's either us or them.

[ Groans ]
Don't make me choose. I'm horrible at choosing.

- Choose.
- No, don't make me.

- You must.
- No! No! Them.

- [ All Gasp ]
- Huh. I'm better at choosing than I thought.

You're choosing
those other families over us?

Look, I'm sorry,
but I'm not a one-family alien.

I need variety.
It doesn't mean I don't like you.

It just means-Well, you can't eat chicken
for every meal, you know?

It's nothing against you,
and it's nothing against chicken.

How good is chicken though?
Let's talk about that.

Over rice? Are you kidding me?

Then I guess this is good-bye, Roger.

- I'll need your phone back.
- [ Groans ]

Fine.

Which one is yours?

Oh, you think you?re the first family
that's put me on its plan?

I got phones from the Millers,
the Yangs, the DuBonnets-

Ah, yes-The DuBonnets.

[ Imitates Phone Ringing ]

It's ringing.
[ Imitates Phone ]

[ Gasps ]
Bonjour, Monsieur DuBonnet.

00:13:33,512 --> 00:13:35,673
[ Speaking French ]

- Stop that!
- I'll send for my things.

Four Guatemalans will be here
Thursday morning...

at 7:00 with boxes and packing tape.

Under no circumstances
are you to feed them or tip them.

If the job is done well, they will each
be rewarded with a large fries.

[ Door Slams ]

- Haven't heard from Roger in days.
- Who cares?

What bums me out is that
you traded Saint James for Marvin Gardens.

Look- Steve has the whole corner now.

If I role a four through a seven,
I have to give that asshole all my money.

Ah, good. You're all here together.

Now again, about the tickets-

Just so you know,
I've got people on the Craigslist...

who are willing to pay over face.

Maybe you should just sell them.

You know what?
That wasn't cool of me to pressure you.

You take your time.

And if you?ve never been
to a concert with me...

you are in for a treat.

I yell constantly.

[ Phone Ringing ]

- [ Ringing ]
- Hello?

Yes. Oh, my God.

Oh! Sorry. The calendar was a month off.

I thought it was
my father's birthday again.

Now, who is this,
and why are you calling? Oh, my God!

[ Crowd Laughing,
Chattering ]

[ Groaning ]

You were his emergency contact.

- We didn't know what else to do.
- What happened to him?

Well, take a look at this security video.

He arrives with this family at 9:00 a.m.

Churros, elephant ears-
The whole nine yards.

By 11:00 a.m. he was in line for the flume...

which he rode 16 times,
all with different families.

Two hours later, he's Puss in Boots
with yet another family...

eating a caramel apple, watching
an animatronic bear play the fiddle.

As the day progressed, he was with nine
more families in nine more outfits-

the rights to which I doubt he owns-

until we found him like this - gurgling...

slumped over a teacup,
and urinating on a pinwheel.

I went on a family bender.

I have a problem.

[ Moans ]

[ Sobs ]
Help me.

You're here for me-
after all I've put you through.

You're good, simple people.

You're an addict, Roger...

but luckily, we found
someone who can help.

Remember where you got your retainer?

Upstairs from there is a psychologist.

And what's upstairs from there?

- I think an S.A.T. preparation class.
- All right. I'll go.

Everyone, this is Roger.
Yea. He'll be joining us.

Roger, why don't you tell everyone...

what your expectations
are for group therapy?

Okay. First of all, I don't believe
in any of this therapy nonsense.

[ Gasps ]
The Logans.

Oh, my God, the Logans.

They were the first family
I ever lived with...

and then they abandoned me years ago...

and I haven't been able
to trust anybody ever since.

Thank you, Doctor.
You are a miracle worker.

You see that, people?
That's how you share.

That's a freakin' breakthrough.

You make me sick.

Oh, my God, there it is-
The Logan house.

I haven't been back here for 17 years...

ever since we took
that family road trip to Montana.

When we stopped for gas,
everybody had a chore.

Mine was to get Doritos.
Cool Ranch had just come out.

It was-
[ Sighs ] What a summer.

[ Tires Screeching ]

But when I got back
to the pumps, they were gone.

Ahhh!

Okay. This was good. Let's go home, Stan.

No, Roger. You have to confront them.

It's important to face your fears.

You know, there was a time when I was
terrified of an uncircumcised penis-

So I moved to Brussels and hunkered down
in a gym locker room...

for six long days.

You're right. I've got to get past this.

These khakis are tight on me.

[ Doorbell Rings ]

- Charles?
- Oh, my God.

Brad, Jenny.

You hurt me. You hurt me bad.

You made it impossible for me to have
healthy relationships with other families.

I need to know-
Why did you leave me like that?

You rented a room
from us and refused to pay.

- I paid you in laughter.
- We were afraid of you.

Jenny, you better shut up right now,
or I will cut your face.

Well, you know what? You missed out.

These people, the Smiths-

They love me with all my faults.

- What's going on?
- Oh, look. It's Tyler...

all grown up like a big shot.

You turned out cute. Real cute.

[ Chuckles ]
Damn it.

I'm- I'm laughing now 'cause I'm nervous.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, boy. These khakis
are not getting any looser.

- Let's go home.
- [ Gasps ]

You mean you're ready
to give up the others?

I'm a one-family alien.

- There's just one more thing.
- [ Gasps ]

My phone that you can't
personalize the ring on...

that I'm happy to have.

- [ Clicks ]
- [ Gasps ] 11:00 a.m?

But that- that-that-that can't be.

I went to bed at 6:00 last night
just for a little catnap...

to keep me fresh
for the Fabulous Thunderbirds.

I- I-

I slept for 17 hours?

- [ Roger ] Marco.
- [ Smiths ] Polo.

- Marco.
- Polo.
- Polo.

- Marco.
- Polo.
- Polo!

- [ Screams ]
- [ All Laugh ]

Oh, that game is so scary!

Oh, you really think
you're gonna die when he tags you.

Then when you realize you're still alive,
it makes you laugh.

There you are.
We missed you at the concert.

You went? Why did nobody wake me?

Well, isn't there a saying about not
waking a sleeping fish?

- What?
- It was the perfect family night.

Don't worry, Klaus.
Your ticket didn't go to waste.

We gave it to that koala bear from the
C.I.A. with the brain of a homeless man.

Hey, girl.

Hey, girl.

Hey, girl, I know you hear me.

- What?
- Easy, baby.

I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

Except I'm a koala.

# Reginald didn't have a job #

# The weather was changing
He looked like a slob #

# But then one cold, dark winter day #

# Came along an opportunity #

# So he followed the address
to get his free meal #

# On the surface, it looked
like a hell of a deal #

# But when he took
his first bite #

# They put the helmet on tight #

# Then he heard the hum
of a 100 million-watt laser #

[ Reginald ]
It was scary, y'all.

[ Woman ]
# Reginald, And he used to be nothin'#

# Now he's a koala
And he's cute as a button #

# Reginald
And he used to be nothin?#

# Now he?s a koala
And he?s cute as a button #

# Now he?s a koala
And he?s cute as a button #

Anyways, maybe sometimes
I be on missions...

and sometimes, you know,
I just be here at the house.

But my number one duty
is to say howdy doody to your fruity.

# Cute as a button ##

Bye. Have a beautiful time.
