Quotes

Lois Griffin : [in the pilot] Oh, don't pout, honey. You know, when you were born, the doctor said you were the happiest looking baby he had ever seen.
Stewie Griffin : [in the pilot] But, of course! That was my victory day! The fruition of my deeply-laid plans to escape from that cursed ovarian bastille. Return the device, woman!
Brian Griffin : Jeez, what'd you carry a thesaurus around with you?
Stewie Griffin : Y'know, it's amazing I could speak at all with that circumcision still healing.

[Brian and Stewie travelled back in time to January 31, 1999, the day that Family Guy first premiered]
Brian Griffin : That's odd, that's our house but something looks a little different.
1999 Meg Griffin : [from inside the house] Mom, my lips are too thin. Can I please get collagen injections?
Pilot Lois : Meg, you don't need to change the way you look. You know, most of the world's problems stem from poor self-image.
Stewie Griffin : Oh, my God, what's with Meg's voice? She sounds like someone who's about to give up a huge opportunity.
Brian Griffin : That's nothing, look at you. You look like a prize at some Mexican church carnival.

Brian Griffin : [in the pilot] Woah, ass ahoy. Hey, uh, Peter, it's seven o'clock and you still got your pants on. What's the occasion?
Stewie Griffin : Ew, I remember this. Peter's eye did that weird creepy thing where it went over his nose.
Peter Griffin : [in the pilot] Come on, you're worryin' about nothin'.
Lois Griffin : [in the pilot] Oh? Remember when you got drunk off the communion wine at church?
Stewie Griffin : Ah, ew, gross look at that!
[Where we expect to see a cutaway gag, instead, the Griffins from the pilot just stand around and do nothing]
Brian Griffin : Wait, what are they doing?
Stewie Griffin : I dunno, they're just... standing there like zombies.
Brian Griffin : Do you think they're all right?
Stewie Griffin : I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm not sure.
Lois Griffin : [from the pilot] And then there was that time at the ice cream store.
[the Griffins stand silently for a few more seconds]
Brian Griffin : They're doing it again, what the hell?
Stewie Griffin : I'm-I'm-I'm at a loss.
Brian Griffin : I know we're not supposed to mess with the timeline, but should we... call an ambulance?
[pause]
Stewie Griffin : That is so creepy.
Brian Griffin : [from the pilot, emerging from behind the table] And remember you had an Irish coffee the day we went to see "Philadelphia"?
[they stand around again]
Stewie Griffin : Oh, they're-they're doi-they're setting up fucking cutaways.
Brian Griffin : Oh, my God, is that what we did back then?
Stewie Griffin : Yeah, now we just return text messages and screw around and whatnot.
[cut to the Griffins' living room]
Peter Griffin : Lois, I'm not goin' back to work tomorrow! That new boss has it in for me! He's meaner than a shifty salesman.
[after Peter sets up this gag, Brian takes out a flask, Peter smokes a cigarette, Lois applies makeup, and Stewie, Chris, and Meg text on their cell phones]
Lois Griffin : You sure you got time to smoke?
Peter Griffin : Oh, yeah, it's an Al Harrington, it goes on for a while.
