Family Guy (1998–…): Season 5, Episode 3 - Hell Comes to Quahog - full transcript
Meg takes a job at a new superstore, which causes Peter to lose his job and the town's electricity.
It seems today that all you see
Is violence in movies and sex on TV
But where are those
good old-fashioned values
On which we used to rely?
Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who
Positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
He's a family guy
Oh, yes! I slam it, and you can suck it!
Joe, that was our last ball.
Don't worry. Mr. Moose will help us out.
- Won't you, Mr. Moose?
- Fine.
- Knock-knock.
- Ping pong balls!
Hey, guys, look at me. I'm covered in balls.
- Just like...
- Just like Sharon Stone.
You beat me to it.
Man, I haven't had this much fun
since I was in that Broadway show.
I'm a Wolverine
And my hatred keeps me warm
A wolverine
So you Russians best be warned
Shooting commies
Drinking deer blood
Peeing in the radiator
Look up there
Here comes a really
Angry Russian helicopter
It has been a red dawn.
Hey, Peter, Lois called to remind you
to pick up Meg at the roller rink.
- No!
- We're just getting started!
Meg is my least favorite
of all your children.
It's all right. We'll just move the party
to the skating rink.
Who's sober enough to drive?
Okay, who's drunk,
but that special kind of drunk
where you're a better driver
because you know you're drunk?
You know, the kind of drunk
where you probably shouldn't drive,
but you do anyway because,
I mean, come on,
you gotta get your car home, right?
I mean, what do they expect me to do,
take a bus?
Is that what they want,
for me to take a bus?
Well, screw that. You take a bus.
- I'm that kind of drunk.
- Shotgun.
Dad, where have you been?
I've been waiting for over an hour.
Grab some wood there, bub.
Daddy and his friends have been drinking,
and we're gonna keep on drinking
until we each uncover repressed memories
of sexual abuse
by a trusted religious official.
Oh, that's crazy talk. Oh, my God!
Minister Washington, how could you?
Man, look at all these chicks.
If I were a woman,
I would press my bare boobs
up against glass in public
just for the sexual thrill! The sexual thrill!
- How do I stop?
- Use the rubber stoppers on the front.
Hey, baby, how'd you like
to share a pair of skates?
- Sure!
- Never mind!
- Boy, you look a lot better from the back.
- You jerk!
Oh, hey, baby,
you want to go somewhere?
No, no, no! Wait. Wait. Quagmire,
remember what's on the other side.
That was awesome!
Oh, my God!
That was completely by accident.
That was great fun.
I don't even remember why we came,
but I had a ball.
I look forward to reminiscing
about this tomorrow.
Dad! Wait! You forgot me again!
You need a lift?
Didn't answer me quick enough.
Remember those sweet,
warm New England summers?
Remember sipping lemonade
underneath a shady tree?
Remember when you hit that pedestrian
with your car at the crosswalk
and then just drove away?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
But Pepperidge Farm
ain't just gonna keep it
to Pepperidge Farm's self free of charge.
Maybe you go out and buy yourself
some of these distinctive Milano cookies.
Maybe this whole thing just disappears.
Meg, what happened?
Fat-ass and his drunk friends left me
at the roller rink.
You know, this wouldn't have happened
if I had my own car.
Meg, people have always found ways
to get around without a car.
Look at Iceman.
Honey, where'd you go
when you went out last night?
Just over to Tom's house.
Played some poker, had some brewskis.
You know.
Really?
Then would you mind explaining that?
At least they know how to touch a man.
Oh, walk away.
You know, Peter, maybe Meg
having her own car isn't such a bad idea.
- Yeah, I guess so.
- What?
I have been trying
to get a sewing machine for months,
but she gets a freaking car just like that!
I hate this place.
Look at all these Hummers.
What kind of jerk
would drive one of those?
Dude, this car kicks ass,
and I can watch Madagascar
while I'm driving!
- What kind of music do you like, Gloria?
- Hippo-hop. Woohoo! Yeah, baby!
Dude, those animals are so fucking funny,
they make me want to merge
without looking!
Yeah! Rumsfeld!
Hi, there, can I help you folks?
Yeah, my daughter's looking for a car
that goes with her personality.
Yes, are the new bulimic-cutting mobiles
in yet?
This is a 1996 sedan.
Excellent gas mileage, air bags
and AM-FM cassette.
- I love it! Dad, this is the car.
- Hang on a second, Meg.
What can you tell me about this one?
Oh, that's just an old tank I use
for those commercials
where I declare war on high prices.
Now, about that sedan...
Hang on there, slick. Now I see your game.
We come in here wanting a practical car,
but then you dangle this tank
in front of me
and expect me to walk away.
Now, I may be an idiot,
but there is one thing I am not, sir,
and that, sir, is an idiot.
Now, I demand
you tell me more about this tank.
Well, if you're looking for quality,
then look no further.
That's more like it. Tell me,
what are the tank's safety features?
What a good-looking question.
Three inches of reinforced steel
protects your daughter
from short-range missile attacks.
I see, and does the sedan protect
against missiles?
- It does not.
- You hear that, Meg?
Yeah, it does not protect against missiles.
See, these are the questions.
This is why I'm here.
Peter, you can't be serious.
This is a 30-ton war machine.
I'm still not sure.
- Did I mention the tank is a tank?
- Sold.
Okay, Lois, you can open your eyes.
- Bocce balls!
- I bought a tank.
Are you out of your mind?
Let me show you how the gun works.
What the hell?
No, no, no, no!
Hey, Peter, can you blow
that towel rack down here?
Thank you.
Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman
star in Neil Simon's The Even Couple.
- I ordered a pizza. I hope that's okay.
- Sure, I love pizza.
This half of the apartment is mine,
but if you want to come over here,
that's okay, too.
This isn't spaghetti. It's linguini.
You're right. It is.
I always get those confused.
- Hey, all of us are human.
- I'm glad we're friends.
Yeah, this is really working out.
There's no conflict in this movie!
When are you gonna get rid of that stump?
I've been asking you for months
to get rid of that stump!
I'll do it, all right? Just get off my back!
She's gone. We can finally be together.
But, Tim, I'm rooted the ground.
We'll find a way. We'll find a way.
My God, it's hot.
Brian, did you turn off the air conditioner?
Just open a window. Air conditioners
are harmful to the ozone layer.
Brian, please, save your hippie BS
for the winter months, okay?
Hey, Brian,
I'm not gonna recycle this aluminum can.
I'm just gonna throw it in the trash.
Your Earth's bitch.
Morning, civilians.
General Griffin reporting for breakfast.
Dad, it's not fair.
My money paid for that tank,
and I haven't even got to drive it yet.
Jeez, Meg,
you always gotta ruin my good time,
just like basic cable.
We now return to Showgirls...
Yeah!
...on TBS.
All right, Meg, you got a feel
for the controls. Now give it a little gas.
Oh, great, it's here.
That mirror I bought on eBay.
Oh, my God!
Joe, my God, what happened?
You just ran over me, you bastard!
I don't know where you got that thing,
but I'm impounding it!
Look at you.
You look like a half-empty toothpaste.
We now return
to the Ghost Whisperer.
I don't understand.
Why do all you ghosts come to me?
You're really...
I mean, you have a knack for...
We just trust you.
I can't believe you let Mr. Swanson
confiscate the closest thing I had to a car.
Relax, Meg.
It's not the worst thing I've ever done.
You remember that favor I did
for that park ranger?
Hey, Boo Boo, let's see
what we got in this pic-a-nic basket.
Tell the other bears what you just saw.
Well, I don't care
'cause you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get a job and buy a real car.
Hey, Meg, I'll pay you a dollar a day
to smell my sneakers.
I peed and pooped.
You know, I read that they're opening
a Superstore USA across town.
Maybe you could get a job there.
No. No, no way.
You cannot work there, Meg.
Giant megastores like Superstore USA
are ruining this country.
They don't pay their employees
a decent wage
or give them health benefits.
- Yeah, all gay guys hate Superstore USA.
- What?
Hey, I'm just trying to be ethical.
Yeah, right. You hate all megastores
ever since you were petted way too hard
by that special boy in front of Kmart.
Doggie!
Doggie!
- Doggie!
- Too hard.
- I like doggie!
- Too hard.
- Doggie!
- Gonna bite.
- Doggie!
- Gonna bite.
Doggie!
Oh, jeez.
Welcome to the Superstore family, Meg.
Glad to have you.
Thanks. I'm really excited to get to work.
Now, let me just go over a few basics.
You'll earn minimum wage,
no overtime, no health benefits,
and every day at 3:00,
you'll need to give Sloth a Baby Ruth.
Oh, it's nearly 3:00 now.
- Here you go.
- You're beautiful.
I would go out with you if I wasn't already
in a committed relationship.
Hey, guys, what's going on?
Oh, Peter, Superstore USA
has taken all my business.
Mine, too. In fact, the only guy in town
making any money
is that guy who makes tumbleweeds.
Y'all laughed at me. Y'all laughed at me.
Well, who's laughing now?
What do you think of this?
- That makes you attractive.
- Yeah!
Well, maybe now you guys are seeing
what I've been trying to explain to you.
That megastore is a big, evil corporation
that means nothing but trouble
for this town.
Oh, man, this is the worst thing
to happen to this town
since that roving gang of Tom Brokaws.
Looks like someone's a little lost.
Everyone, I have some bad news.
Superstore USA
has their own brewery on site
and can sell beer at a much cheaper price,
so management has decided
to close down.
- You mean I'm out of a job again?
- I'm sorry, Peter.
Man, this sucks worse than Easter Sunday
at Richard Gere's house.
Okay, find the Easter egg.
- I know where it is. It's in your butt.
- No.
Yeah, I know the story. It's in your butt.
Mr. Griffin, if you'd just look on the ground
for five seconds, I'm sure you'd find it.
- Nope, in your butt.
- Look, I'm tired of this stupid rumor.
- In your butt.
- Mr. Griffin...
- Butt. Butt.
- Mr. Griffin...
You know what?
Just get the hell out of here.
Fine. Weirdo.
So how was work today, Meg?
Peter, you lost your job
because of the Superstore.
You shouldn't blame Meg.
And you can stop making that fart sound
every time someone says, "Meg. "
So how was your day
exploiting the town's resources, Meg?
Meg.
Meg.
Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg!
Meg.
I'm not gonna sit here and take this.
I'm the only one in this family
who has a job.
Yeah, like she'd get paid for that.
- What did he just say to you?
- Nothing, there was...
Well, it's like if you were...
Forget it. It's nothing, Meg.
- Hello, I'm Tom Tucker.
- And I'm Diane Simmons.
At the top of the news, Quahog is
suffering its worst heat wave in a century.
That's right, Diane.
We now go live to Ollie Williams
with the black-you weather report.
How are you beating the heat, Ollie?
- Swimming hole!
- Thanks, Ollie.
In other news, Quahog
will be experiencing rolling blackouts
to help meet Superstore USA's
extensive power demands.
Oh, in fact, Channel Five has just received
this message from the Electric Company.
Hey, you guys!
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
It's coming down the line
Strong as it can be
Through the courtesy
Of the Electric Company
Contrary to those upbeat lyrics,
the Electric Company
would like us to emphasize
it will not be bringing you the power.
Great, rolling blackouts.
Now, Superstore USA
is siphoning off all the city's power.
- And they cost me my job.
- Mine, too.
Superstore USA
has their own paper route.
That new paperboy done gone
and broke my sternum.
This sucks. That damn Superstore
is ruining everything.
You know,
instead of sitting around complaining,
why don't we go down there and protest?
That's a great idea, Brian.
All we need is some magic markers,
poster boards, some plywood...
Actually, Superstore USA
has all that stuff. We can just get it there.
There's one of them now.
Take that for stealing jobs
from hardworking people!
Dad, what the hell are you doing?
We got a message for you.
"We're here. We're queer. Get used to it. "
- Actually, Peter...
- Gattaca! Gattaca!
Peter, I don't think it's working.
People are still going into the store.
Well, fine, then I guess I gotta go in there
and drag them out one by one.
All right, who the hell is in charge...
What is that I'm feeling?
That's our industrial-sized air conditioner.
When I walk into Superstore USA,
I get the sensation
that I'm standing on a mountain top
with the wind blowing through my hair!
My God,
look at this wonderland of treasures.
What would a guy like me have to do
to be part of this magical world?
You are trespassing on private property,
and I must ask you to leave.
What? Are you out of your mind?
- Leave this lot, losers.
- Unless you want a licking.
And we'd love to deliver that licking,
- right, fellows?
- Yeah.
- Love it.
- A lot.
I'd love to lick a lemon lollipop
in Lillehammer.
God, I wish the power
would come back on.
Boy, Meg, I am so looking forward
to this job.
Peter, I can't believe
you're working for Superstore USA.
How could you sell out like that?
Because, Brian, they have
an industrial-sized air conditioner,
and I'm tired of sitting in ball soup.
Look, Dad,
this isn't gonna be a cake walk, all right?
I'm your supervisor.
Meg. Meg, I promise, I'll do better
at this job than I did on the SATs.
Come on, do math.
Dad, I need you to...
Dad, what are you doing?
Meg. Meg, look. Meg, look.
I am so freaking good at coloring.
I know I'm not supposed
to go outside the lines,
but I do anyway
because I like being myself.
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Oh, God, it's so hot.
Brian, spit on me.
Oh, that's nice. Now tell me I'm scum.
How will that cool you off?
God, it's awful in here.
This is even worse than getting herpes
from a toilet seat.
Joanie, it's me.
Oh, hey! You know, I had
such a great time with you last night.
Listen, there's something
I have to tell you.
I just got back from the doctor.
I have herpes.
I think you should
get yourself checked out.
Oh, my God.
- Will you stay?
- What?
Will you stay with me
even knowing that I have herpes?
Yes, I will.
- Joanie?
- Yeah?
I don't have herpes.
I just needed to know that you'd stay.
I've had it. The only place in town
that's got power is Superstore USA
while the rest of us
are left to bake in the heat.
There's gotta be something we can do
to take that place down.
Don't worry, Brian. I think I've got an idea.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah!
Excuse me, can you tell me
where I can find assault rifles?
Aisle six.
How about a list
of known local homosexuals?
Aisle four.
Meg, you're doing a great job.
In fact, I'm promoting you
to assistant manager.
Really? Oh, my God! Thank you so much.
Now, your first responsibility
is to fire that employee.
Boy, I'm a little chilly.
I hope no one notices.
But that's my dad.
What's more important to you,
your job or your family?
And don't pick the obvious one.
Oh, hey, guys. I was just catching up
on some plunger nipples.
Dad...
Go on, Meg. What are you waiting for?
Dad, I'm sorry I have to say this,
but you're a fat-ass
who's completely incapable
of performing the simplest tasks,
but you're also my father,
and you're the only one I'll ever have,
so I'm not going to fire you.
Mr. Penisberg, I quit.
- Penisberg?
- Yeah, yeah, get it all out of your system.
Meg, that was a wonderful thing
you just did for me.
I can't believe this is coming out
of my mouth, but I love...
So you got a tank, big whoop.
Want to fight about it?
Well, I'm glad
that Superstore USA is gone.
That place was nothing but trouble.
And I think we learned something.
Any problem caused by a tank
can be solved by a tank.
Dad, you were about to say something
in the store.
- No, I don't think so.
- No, I'm sure of it.
I don't know. Something about
Hardcastle and McCormick?
No, you were going to say you love me.
You love me, and you know it.
Hey, hey, mouth, young lady.
Well, you think
you'll look for another job, Meg?
Meg!
Meg!
Meg!
Pardon me.
Is violence in movies and sex on TV
But where are those
good old-fashioned values
On which we used to rely?
Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who

All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
He's a family guy
Oh, yes! I slam it, and you can suck it!
Joe, that was our last ball.
Don't worry. Mr. Moose will help us out.

- Too hard.
- Doggie!
- Gonna bite.
- Doggie!
- Gonna bite.
Doggie!
Oh, jeez.
Welcome to the Superstore family, Meg.
Glad to have you.
Thanks. I'm really excited to get to work.
Now, let me just go over a few basics.
You'll earn minimum wage,
no overtime, no health benefits,
and every day at 3:00,
you'll need to give Sloth a Baby Ruth.
Oh, it's nearly 3:00 now.
- Here you go.
- You're beautiful.
I would go out with you if I wasn't already
in a committed relationship.
Hey, guys, what's going on?
Oh, Peter, Superstore USA
has taken all my business.
Mine, too. In fact, the only guy in town
making any money
is that guy who makes tumbleweeds.
Y'all laughed at me. Y'all laughed at me.
Well, who's laughing now?
What do you think of this?
- That makes you attractive.
- Yeah!
Well, maybe now you guys are seeing
what I've been trying to explain to you.
That megastore is a big, evil corporation
that means nothing but trouble
for this town.
Oh, man, this is the worst thing
to happen to this town
since that roving gang of Tom Brokaws.
Looks like someone's a little lost.
Everyone, I have some bad news.
Superstore USA
has their own brewery on site
and can sell beer at a much cheaper price,
so management has decided
to close down.
- You mean I'm out of a job again?
- I'm sorry, Peter.
Man, this sucks worse than Easter Sunday
at Richard Gere's house.
Okay, find the Easter egg.
- I know where it is. It's in your butt.
- No.
Yeah, I know the story. It's in your butt.
Mr. Griffin, if you'd just look on the ground
for five seconds, I'm sure you'd find it.
- Nope, in your butt.
- Look, I'm tired of this stupid rumor.
- In your butt.
- Mr. Griffin...
- Butt. Butt.
- Mr. Griffin...
You know what?
Just get the hell out of here.
Fine. Weirdo.
So how was work today, Meg?
Peter, you lost your job
because of the Superstore.
You shouldn't blame Meg.
And you can stop making that fart sound
every time someone says, "Meg. "
So how was your day
exploiting the town's resources, Meg?
Meg.
Meg.
Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg!
Meg.
I'm not gonna sit here and take this.
I'm the only one in this family
who has a job.
Yeah, like she'd get paid for that.
- What did he just say to you?
- Nothing, there was...
Well, it's like if you were...
Forget it. It's nothing, Meg.
- Hello, I'm Tom Tucker.
- And I'm Diane Simmons.
At the top of the news, Quahog is
suffering its worst heat wave in a century.
That's right, Diane.
We now go live to Ollie Williams
with the black-you weather report.
How are you beating the heat, Ollie?
- Swimming hole!
- Thanks, Ollie.
In other news, Quahog
will be experiencing rolling blackouts
to help meet Superstore USA's
extensive power demands.
Oh, in fact, Channel Five has just received
this message from the Electric Company.
Hey, you guys!
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
It's coming down the line
Strong as it can be
Through the courtesy
Of the Electric Company
Contrary to those upbeat lyrics,
the Electric Company
would like us to emphasize
it will not be bringing you the power.
Great, rolling blackouts.
Now, Superstore USA
is siphoning off all the city's power.
- And they cost me my job.
- Mine, too.
Superstore USA
has their own paper route.
That new paperboy done gone
and broke my sternum.
This sucks. That damn Superstore
is ruining everything.
You know,
instead of sitting around complaining,
why don't we go down there and protest?
That's a great idea, Brian.
All we need is some magic markers,
poster boards, some plywood...
Actually, Superstore USA
has all that stuff. We can just get it there.
There's one of them now.
Take that for stealing jobs
from hardworking people!
Dad, what the hell are you doing?
We got a message for you.
"We're here. We're queer. Get used to it. "
- Actually, Peter...
- Gattaca! Gattaca!
Peter, I don't think it's working.
People are still going into the store.
Well, fine, then I guess I gotta go in there
and drag them out one by one.
All right, who the hell is in charge...
What is that I'm feeling?
That's our industrial-sized air conditioner.
When I walk into Superstore USA,
I get the sensation
that I'm standing on a mountain top
with the wind blowing through my hair!
My God,
look at this wonderland of treasures.
What would a guy like me have to do
to be part of this magical world?
You are trespassing on private property,
and I must ask you to leave.
What? Are you out of your mind?
- Leave this lot, losers.
- Unless you want a licking.
And we'd love to deliver that licking,
- right, fellows?
- Yeah.
- Love it.
- A lot.
I'd love to lick a lemon lollipop
in Lillehammer.
God, I wish the power
would come back on.
Boy, Meg, I am so looking forward
to this job.
Peter, I can't believe
you're working for Superstore USA.
How could you sell out like that?
Because, Brian, they have
an industrial-sized air conditioner,
and I'm tired of sitting in ball soup.
Look, Dad,
this isn't gonna be a cake walk, all right?
I'm your supervisor.
Meg. Meg, I promise, I'll do better
at this job than I did on the SATs.
Come on, do math.
Dad, I need you to...
Dad, what are you doing?
Meg. Meg, look. Meg, look.
I am so freaking good at coloring.
I know I'm not supposed
to go outside the lines,
but I do anyway
because I like being myself.
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Oh, God, it's so hot.
Brian, spit on me.
Oh, that's nice. Now tell me I'm scum.
How will that cool you off?
God, it's awful in here.
This is even worse than getting herpes
from a toilet seat.
Joanie, it's me.
Oh, hey! You know, I had
such a great time with you last night.
Listen, there's something
I have to tell you.
I just got back from the doctor.
I have herpes.
I think you should
get yourself checked out.
Oh, my God.
- Will you stay?
- What?
Will you stay with me
even knowing that I have herpes?
Yes, I will.
- Joanie?
- Yeah?
I don't have herpes.
I just needed to know that you'd stay.
I've had it. The only place in town
that's got power is Superstore USA
while the rest of us
are left to bake in the heat.
There's gotta be something we can do
to take that place down.
Don't worry, Brian. I think I've got an idea.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah!
Excuse me, can you tell me
where I can find assault rifles?
Aisle six.
How about a list
of known local homosexuals?
Aisle four.
Meg, you're doing a great job.
In fact, I'm promoting you
to assistant manager.
Really? Oh, my God! Thank you so much.
Now, your first responsibility
is to fire that employee.
Boy, I'm a little chilly.
I hope no one notices.
But that's my dad.
What's more important to you,
your job or your family?
And don't pick the obvious one.
Oh, hey, guys. I was just catching up
on some plunger nipples.
Dad...
Go on, Meg. What are you waiting for?
Dad, I'm sorry I have to say this,
but you're a fat-ass
who's completely incapable
of performing the simplest tasks,
but you're also my father,
and you're the only one I'll ever have,
so I'm not going to fire you.
Mr. Penisberg, I quit.
- Penisberg?
- Yeah, yeah, get it all out of your system.
Meg, that was a wonderful thing
you just did for me.
I can't believe this is coming out
of my mouth, but I love...
So you got a tank, big whoop.
Want to fight about it?
Well, I'm glad
that Superstore USA is gone.
That place was nothing but trouble.
And I think we learned something.
Any problem caused by a tank
can be solved by a tank.
Dad, you were about to say something
in the store.
- No, I don't think so.
- No, I'm sure of it.
I don't know. Something about
Hardcastle and McCormick?
No, you were going to say you love me.
You love me, and you know it.
Hey, hey, mouth, young lady.
Well, you think
you'll look for another job, Meg?
Meg!
Meg!
Meg!
Pardon me.
