LOIS
(To Peter.)
Peter, it sure has been a while.
Where do you think the Preacher
could be?
PETER
(Looks around.)
I don’t know. I’ll go see if I can
find him. Come on Chris.
PETER and CHRIS leave the isle and head to the back of the
church.
CUT TO:
PETER
Uh. Hey, you’re late for mass.
PREACHER
I’m not sure if I think there is
even a God anymore. I mean, I’ve
been praying to him for over 40
years and not one of my prayers
were answered. God doesn’t exist!
CHRIS
Is that true dad?
PETER
No Chris. Of course there is a God.
But you have to see it from his
point of view.

PETER (CONT'D)
I mean, if you think about it, God
is basically watching us like a TV
show. Do you honestly think he can
sit there for over 4,000 years
watching the same thing? God only
knows what he’s doing now.
GOD
Oh! Hell yes! I win again. Who’s
your Daddy?! Come on, say it! Who’s
your Daddy?
JESUS
You’re my daddy!
GOD
Hell yeah!
CUT TO:
PETER
So you see? God exists. Just
because he doesn’t answer your
prayers doesn’t mean he doesn’t
exist. He could just be in the can.
PREACHER
(Calm.)
Geez, Peter. I never thought of it
that way. Thank you.
PETER
So then you’re going in there to
say mass right?
PREACHER
Yes, Peter. Thanks to you.

PETER
Okay, good. Umm… (Short pause.)
Since I helped you, do you think I
can get a free pass on skipping it
today? Your sermons bore the hell
out of me.
CUT TO:
BRIAN and Peter are sitting on the couch watching the TV.
PETER
And the best part is… You can pause
the show when you have to go to the
bathroom. Just like that Cox Cable
commercial.

LOIS
Meg, honey. Why don’t you tell your
Father the good news while I start
dinner?
MEG
Okay. Dad, you’ll never guess what
happen to me today. First Neil
Goldman didn’t show up for school
today, which is like a dream come
true because he’s always asking me
out and is sooo annoying; then
Connie Domico invited me over to
her house for a slumber party
because she’s celebrating because
she got accepted to the college she
wanted, then, Craig Hoffman asked
me out again, and this time it
means more to me because I’m myself
and not the product of some
desperate makeover.
PETER
Meg.
MEG
Yeah Dad?
PETER
Shut up. Can’t you see? Men are
talking. (Turns back to Brian and
hands him the TiVo controller.)
Here you go, Brian. Enjoy.

You can’t eat all those hamburgers.
Chris notices out of the corner of his eye that the closet
door is opening. Chris gets a little scared. The Evil Monkey
swings the door open and points at Chris. Chris screams in
terror.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
Wait a minute. I think we got off
on the wrong foot.
The Evil Monkey stands normally. Chris gets off of the bed
and walks to the closet and holds his hand out to shake hands
with the Evil Monkey.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
My name is Chris Griffin. What’s
your name?
CHRIS (CONT’D)
I don’t know if you realize this,
or not, but you’re in my bed room,
dude.
The Evil Monkey lunges at Chris and they bang against the
wall.

Could you describe the ruckus?
LOIS
Oh, never mind.
Lois turns around and walks back into the kitchen revealing a
toilet seat-cover hanging out the back of her pants. When
Lois leaves the room a bloody and bruised Chris falls down
the stairs and lands on the floor unconscious.
PETER
Geez, Chris, you gotta be more
careful. Unlike Meg, the last time
we were at the movie theater.

PETER
Come on Meg. We’re gonna miss “The

Peter and Meg get to the isle where Lois and everyone are
waiting. Peter has to squeeze in front of a fellow movie
goer.
PETER (CONT’D)
Ahh. Excuse me. Let me, just, get
by you here.
PETER (CONT’D)
Okay. How about if you stand up.
Let’s try that.
PETER (CONT’D)
(Pissed at the guy.)
Do you mind! I’m trying to get to
my wife and family.

Peter pushes the movie goer who, in return, pushes Peter into
Meg. Meg flies back down the stairs causing popcorn to fly

CUT TO:
The room is lit only by the light from the TV beaming onto
Brian who hasn’t left the couch all day.
LOIS

Brian? Are you still down there?
LOIS (CONT’D)
(Off screen.)
Brian?
BRIAN
Yes, Lois. I’m still down here. I
think I’ll just sleep down here.
You know, to give you and Peter
some time alone.
LOIS
Aww. Brian, how thoughtful of you.
Lois turns off the light. Brian doesn’t un-pause the TiVo
until he hears Lois’ door close. A second later the door is
heard closing and Brian un-pauses the TiVo.
Lois comes down from the stairs with a sleeping Stewie in her
arms.

LOIS (CONT’D)
Brian, are you feeling okay? You
look a little… creepy.
BRIAN
I… Yeah… Good… Breakfast?
LOIS
Maybe you should get some rest.
BRIAN
No, no… No, I’m fine. Could you get
me some food though?
LOIS
Sure, Brian. Breakfast will be
ready in about 30 minutes.
Lois walks to the kitchen then stops and looks back at Brian.
Brian turns his head back to the TV but doesn’t un-pause it.
After a second Lois goes into the kitchen then Brian un-

Lois walks around the kitchen and follows the sound to the
freezer. Stewie covers his head bracing for an explosion.
Lois opens the freezer and sees an alarm clock attached to 3
sticks of dynamite.
LOIS (CONT’D)
Who did this? Did Peter put
Stewie’s alarm clock in the freezer
taped to 3 sticks of sausage?
Lois takes the clock out, puts it on the counter, then gets
eggs out of the fridge, and starts to cook them.
STEWIE
Damn.
PETER
Sweet, just in time for breakfast.
LOIS
Sorry Peter. I just started
cooking. It’ll be ready in about a
half hour.
PETER
No Lois. The timer went off. That
means the food is ready. Trust me

I got this really cool CD. I heard
Connie Domico said it was totally
