  BOB BARKER

  ANNOUNCER (V.0.)
  It's a box of One Dollar Rice!  
  An ELDERLY MODEL in an evening gown waves a shaky, flabby arm over a box clearly marked "ONE DOLLAR RICE." Bob Barker turns to his panel of contestants.
  BOB BARKER
  What is your bid, Linda?  
  The AUDIENCE shouts out numbers, as well as "Baba Booey" and "Freebird!" An ATTRACTIVE ASIAN LADY is the first contestant.
  ATTRACTIVE ASIAN LADY
  Seventy-five cents, Bob!  
  BOB BARKER
  (TO A MARINE) And you, Sargeant?  
  A strapping MARINE leans into his mic.

  BOB BARKER (CONT'D)
  This is a box of One Dollar Rice. It says one dollar on the box. You must bid closest to the actual retail price of this one dollar rice without going over.  
  HEAVYSET WOMAN
  Oh, okay, I‘11 bid... one dollar!

  All right, then...  
  HEAVYSET WOMAN
  ...and thirty cents.  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS
  Lois dumps some apple sauce in a bowl. She sprinkles cinnamon on it as Stewie watches, suspicious. She brings the bowl over to him.
  STEWIE
  I saw that! You put something in there!  
  He pushes it on the floor. Lois goes to clean it up.
  LOIS
  (SIGH) You are such a fussy eater. (TO BRIAN) You know, when he was born, I could barely get him to breast feed.  
  INT. PETER AND LOIS' BEDROOM - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Lois is trying to breast feed an infant Stewie, who pushes her away.

  STEWIE
  Put that bloody thing away! You're trying to poison me!  
  LOIS
  Stewie, it's perfectly natural.  
  STEWIE
  In that case, you won't mind if I insist that you try some first?  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  LOIS
  Honey, it's just cinnamon.  
  STEWIE
  Thank you, but I'd prefer my apple sauce without arsenic-- oh, I'm sorry, (MAKING AIR QUOTES) "cinnamon," is it?  
  INT. "PRICE IS RIGHT" SET - (ON TV)
  Bob addresses the camera.
  BOB BARKER

  BRIAN
  Oh, just die already.

ACT ONE
  EXT./ESTAB. GRIFFINS' HOUSE - DAY
  INT. GRIFFINS' LIVING ROOM - SANE
  PETER and Brian watch TV. CHRIS does his homework. He slams his pencil down, frustrated.
  CHRIS
  Dumb stupid math! This is so lame.  
  PETER
  Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me take a look.  
  He takes Chris' book and reads the cover.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  (READING) "Math for Students With Attention Deficit Disorder." (OPENS THE BOOK) "Number one: If a train travelling at fifty miles per hour leaves the station at four o'clock, I was on a train once. Hey look, a bird. I smell bacon." (TO CHRIS) Why don't you just look up the answer in the back?  
  He flips to the back of the book. Suddenly the room is bathed in a flashing red light. A siren sounds. Peter closes the book quickly. The room returns to normal.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  Guess they don't let you do that anymore.  
  Lois enters.

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 5.
           
  LOIS
  Well, everything's all set for Stewie's birthday party. I can't believe he‘s gonna be a year old.  
  PETER
  Yeah, I‘11 never forget the day he was born.  
  INT. DELIVERY ROOM - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Peter, in surgical scrubs and mask, looks wide-eyed as Lois gives birth to Stewie. A DOCTOR and NURSE assist.
  DOCTOR
  One more push, Lois. This is quite a miracle, Mr. Griffin. Would you like to have a look?  
  PETER
  Yeah, you know, I‘ve never actually seen a - - - (BECOMING ILL) Oh, God!  
  Peter covers his mouth and runs out of the room.
  DOCTOR
  Congratulations, Mrs. Griffin. It's a boy! Wait a minute, I don't think we‘re through here.  
  LOIS
  Oh, my god, is it twins?  
  DOCTOR
  No, it's a... (QUIZZICALLY) map of Europe?  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 6.
           
  We see certain cities have been marked with an "X" and "Bomb Here." We PUSH IN ON newborn Stewie in Lois' arms, looking around maliciously.
  SFX: MUSICAL STING
  INT. GRIFFINS' LIVING ROOM - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  LOIS
  I just confirmed everything with the birthday party planner down at Cheesie Charlie's.  
  CHRIS
  Cool! They have this game where you put a dollar in and you win four quarters! Man, I could play that all day. I get to go, right?  
  LOIS
  Of course, we're all going. A baby's first birthday is a family milestone.  
  Stewie enters.
  STEWIE
  I say, am I to spend the entire day wallowing around in my own feces? (CLAPS HIS HANDS; RE: DIAPER) A little service here!  
  PETER
  Hey, Stinky! We were just talking about our big plans for you!  
  STEWIE
  (SUSPICIOUSLY) Plans?  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 7.
           
  PETER
  It‘s your birthday, little buddy.  
  LOIS
  Saturday's gonna be real special, honey. I've hired a professional to make sure everything goes just right.  
  STEWIE
  (RAISING AN EYEBROW) A professional?  
  Gasp! There's treachery afoot!  
  Stewie scampers out. A beat. He scampers back in to pick up his TEDDY BEAR. He points a warning finger at Brian.
  STEWIE (CONT'D)
  You've seen nothing here! Do you understand me, nothing!  
  Stewie scampers out again.
  BRIAN
  Freak.  
  EXT. /ESTAB. GRIFFINS' HOUSE - DUSK
  EXT. GRIFFINS' FRONT PORCH - DUSK
  Peter watches his electric bug zapper as mosquitos fly into it and meet a quick, sizzling death. He's eating a piece of pie with a fork.
  PETER
  Heh. Stupid mosquitos. (THEN:)  
  Wonder what that feels like.
  Peter notices a nearby electrical outlet. He looks at his fork.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  Huh.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 8.
           
  As Peter walks toward the outlet with his fork, MEG runs up sobbing.
  PETER (CONT‘D)
  Meg, you're home late.  
  MEG
  I stayed after school to try out for cheerleading!  
  A beat. Meg continues sobbing.
  PETER
  Well, don't keep me in suspense. How'd you do?  
  MEG
  I'll give you a hint. I (AS A FAKE CHEER) S-U-C-K-E-D. Rah! I hate high school. I just can't find a group I fit in with.  
  PETER
  Boy, do I know that feeling.  
  EXT. ALLEY - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  The JETS of "West Side Story" are snapping their fingers as they dance through an alley (to jazzy, cheap, sound-alike Bernstein music). Peter follows, trying to blend in.
  RIFF
  (TO PETER) Uh, okay man, you are really throwing me off. It's step-kick-step-twirl. Got it?  
  PETER
  I thought we were just gonna rumble with those greasy Sharks.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 9.
           
  RIFF
  Not without seven years of ballet and two of jazz tap, we're not. From the top, people! (TO PETER) Why don't you just hang back and stretch?  
  Peter looks disappointed.
  EXT. GRIFFINS' FRONT PORCH - DUSK (BACK TO PRESENT)
  MEG
  I don't get it. The harder I try to make friends, the more people hate me.  
  PETER
  Listen, Meg, you're a one of a kind, special girl with a mind of her own. Now see, people hate that. You want friends, ya gotta blend in.  
  MEG
  But Mom keeps saying I should just be myself.  
  PETER
  Aw, that's the worst thing you can do. I'm tellin ya, just be the girl you think everyone else wants you to be.  
  MEG
  Wow, it‘s so obvious. Thanks, Daddy!  
  She gives him a kiss and runs into the house as Lois comes outside.

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 10.
           
  MEG (CONT'D)
  (ON HER WAY IN) Hi, Mom! Bye, Mom !  
  LOIS
  (TO PETER) Well, I haven't seen Meg this happy since that bus broke down in front of our house.  
  EXT. GRIFFIN HOUSE - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Peter and Meg are on the porch as a bus with the words "HANSON - NATIONAL TOUR" rolls to a stop in front of the Griffins' home. (The radiator of the bus emits steam.) Meg stands up, overjoyed. The three blonde mop-topped HANSON BOYS get out.
  HANSON KID
  Hi, can we use your phone?  
  PETER
  Holy crap, it's the Children of the Corn!  
  Peter grabs a rifle and starts firing at them.
  EXT. GRIFFINS' FRONT PORCH - DUSK (BACK TO PRESENT)
  PETER
  We just had a little father/daughter talk.  
  LOIS
  Well, it seems to have worked.  
  He raises his overshirt, revealing a t-shirt that says, "#1 DAD!"
  PETER
  (PROUDLY) Hey, I wasn't just blowin' smoke when I bought this t-shirt.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 11.
           
  LOIS
  Oh, Peter, they're growin' up so fast. This could be our last first birthday ever. You know, when Meg and Chris turned one, I was so busy with the decorations and the games and the cake, I feel like I missed everything.  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Lois (in a 1982 Farrah-Fawcett haircut), looking a little haggard, is writing "Happy First Birthday, Meg!" on a big cake. Party sounds drift in from the other room. A younger-looking Peter dashes into the kitchen.
  PETER
  Lois, you're not gonna believe this! Meg took one look at her new Flashdance Barbie, turned to me and said, "Da-da!"  
  LOIS
  (AMAZED) Her first words?  
  PETER
  Yeah! Then she stood up all by herself and started walking!  
  LOIS
  Her first steps!  
  PETER
  Yup, all the way to the bathroom and made her first real potty! What the hell are you doin' in here, anyway?  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 12.
           
  Peter runs out. Lois looks sad.
  EXT • GRIFFINS' FRONT PORCH - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  LOIS
  Thank God we were able to book Cheesie Charlie's. Now I can spend every minute of Stewie's party with you guys instead of bein' in the kitchen.  
  PETER
  Yeah, it's gonna be great. Just as long as they don't serve cabbage. (PATS HIS GUT) You know how my body reacts to cabbage.  
  INT. BANQUET HALL - NIGHT (FLASHBACK)
  Peter and Lois are at a wedding reception. Peter takes a bite of cabbage, chews, and swallows. A beat later, there's a flash of light and he turns into a tiny leprechaun. He does a little jig.
  EXT./ESTAB. GRIFFIN HOUSE - NIGHT
  INT. STEWIE' S BEDROOM - SANE
  Stewie scribbles madly with a crayon in his journal (a drawing pad). He wears his jammies and writes by nightlight.
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  It seems the domestic overseers are plotting against me. Their plans somehow relate to the impending anniversary of my escape from that uterine gulag. I can still recall the events which led to my capture.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 13.
           
  We PUSH IN on Stewie as he remembers.
  STEWIE (CONT'D; V.0.)
  It was every potential man for himself.  
MATCH DISSOLVE TO:  
  INT. LOIS' FALLOPIAN TUBE - (FLASHBACK)
  (NOTE: This sequence is a parody of the final Death Star attack sequence from "Star Wars"). We start CLOSE ON STEWIE. He's inside the cockpit, piloting one of a squadron of SPERM. They race along like little X-wing fighters (minus the wings). The sperm begin firing lasers at the large egg, which we now see is their destination.
  Stewie deliberately blasts a few of his competitors out of the "sky", and flies in toward the egg. The battle continues as he and the other sperm-ships continue to fly across the surface, blasting at each other, and at the egg. Finally, Stewie blasts a hole in the thing, and flies right through the explosion, into the egg.
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  But my triumph was short-lived. It was a trap, and I found myself confined to an inadequate, damp cell for nine grueling months...  
DISSOLVE TO:  
  INT. LOIS' WOMB - MONTHS LATER
  A STEWIE FETUS writes in his journal.
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  Day one-seventy-one of captivity.  
  I've sprouted another finger. Counting the one from yesterday... He glances down.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 14.
           
  STEWIE (CONT'D; V.0.)
  ...I'm up to eleven. But still, as long as I am interned in this viscous confine, I am powerless...  
  INT. STEWIE' S BEDROOM - NIGHT (BACK TO PRESENT)
  Stewie looks up suddenly.
  STEWIE
  Powerless! Of course! They plan to put me back in the womb. But how? Surely they can't force me back through that unholy aperture from whence I escaped. Not without help... (REALIZING) from "the professional!" Well, two can play at that game!  
  He pulls a "Soldier of Fortune" magazine from beneath his crib mattress and flips through it.
  STEWIE (CONT'D)
  I, too, shall require professional forces. (FINDS AN AD) Yes, here we go. Managua, the Mecca of Mercenaries! I must go there at once!  
  He takes out his Winnie the Pooh backpack and begins packing.
  STEWIE (CONT'D)
  Some provisions for my journey.  
  Grenades, mace, baggie full of Cheerios...  
  EXT. ESTAB. JAMES WOODS REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 15.
           
  EXT. MEG'S LOCKER - DAY
  Meg is at her open locker. She sees a gaggle of CHEERLEADERS pass her by.
  CHEERLEADER #1
  Boy, it sure is great being thin and popular.  
  CHEERLEADER #2
  Hey, let‘s go throw up!  
  All the cheerleaders say "sure," "yeah," "sounds fun," etc.
  MEG
  (SIGH) I wish I had someone to throw up with.  
  Meg slams the door to her locker, revealing JENNIFER, a pretty girl with very short hair.
  JENNIFER
  Hi, I'm Jennifer.  
  MEG
  Hi... I'm Meg.  
  JENNIFER
  God, your hair is so beautiful. I just want to brush it.  
  MEG
  Really? Well, uh, I feel the same way about your, uh... (OFF HER SHORT HAIR) teeth.  
  Jennifer smiles. Meg smiles.
  EXT./ESTAB. GRIFFIN HOUSE - DAY

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 16.
           
  EXT. GRIFFINS' DRIVEWAY - SAME
  Peter is heading toward his car as CLEVELAND and QUAGMIRE pull up in Quagmire's 1956 Buick Convertible.
  QUAGMIRE
  Hey, Pedro, we're heading down to The Drunken Clam for a couple of beers, and I‘m gonna shake the lady tree and see what falls out. All riiiight.  
  CLEVELAND
  Quagmire, when are you going to learn?  
  PETER
  Sorry, guys. I gotta drop off a deposit check for Stewie's birthday party at Cheesie Charlie's.  
  QUAGMIRE
  Cheesie Charlie's? Whoa, that's gonna cost ya a healthy chunk of do-re-mi.  
  PETER
  Lois has her heart set on the place. Besides, she told me they're givin' us a package deal. Pizza, birthday cake, they even give ya free tokens.  
  CLEVELAND
  The first ones are always free, Peter.  
  (MORE)

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATh BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 17.
           
  CLEVELAND (CONT‘D)
  Then before you know it, you've spent eighty dollars trying to win a Chinese fingertrap. (SIGHS) The Chinese certainly are an inscrutable people.  
  QUAGMIRE
  Face it, Peter, you're an easy mark. You couldn't be more of a sucker if you were wrapped in plastic with a stick comin' out of your oh, yeah!  
  PETER
  What the hell're you talkin' about? I‘ve only been conned once in my life. But that was a very sophisticated scam.  
  INT. BANK - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Peter holds a baggie full of bright orange fish in water. He addresses a bank teller.
  PETER
  (IRATE) Whadda you mean, "worthless?" The guy at the store said these were gold fish.  
  EXT. GRIFFINS' DRIVEWAY - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  PETER
  And I'll be damned if I ever get taken like that again.  
  (MORE)

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 18.
           
  PETER (CONT'D)
  Cheesie Charlie is gonna be no match for Peter-Peter Penny... uh.. .Eater.  
  Peter stomps off, determined. Cleveland turns to Quagmire.
  CLEVELAND
  Cleveland Jr. swallowed a quarter once. It came out eventually, but we decided it was best to take the loss.  
  EXT./ESTAB. CHEESIE CHARLIE'S - DAY
  INT. CHEESIE CHARLIE'S - SAME
  A restaurant/party place for kids, lots of games, play areas, etc. There's an animatronic band with various animals playing instruments. In the b.g., we see some birthday parties in progress. Peter enters with a full head of steam.
  PETER
  (MUTTERING) Try to rip me off.. I'll show you, Cheesie Charlie...  
  He stops. PETER'S P.O.V.: A colorful ball pit. Peter is tempted, but he shakes it off and continues his purposeful stride.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  (MUTTERING) Screw me? Uh-uh, screw you.  
  He stops again and looks again. PETER'S P.O.V.: Kids play in the ball pit. Peter takes two more steps, then dashes for the ball pit. He jumps in and most of the balls and all the kids fly out. Peter stands. up and resumes his determined walk.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  (MUTTERING) Got another thing comin'.  
  A young, pleasant MANAGER comes over to Peter.

FAMILY GUY 1ACXO4 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 19.
           
  MANAGER
  Welcome to Cheesie Charlie's. Are you here for an affair?  
  PETER
  An affair? I hardly know you.  
  An ANIMATRONIC BEAR DRUMMER on the bandstand does a rimahot.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  (TO BEAR) Thank you. (TO MANAGER) My name is Peter Griffin.  
  MANAGER
  Yes, Mr. Griffin. We're really looking forward to Stewie's birthday party.  
  PETER
  Yeah, I bet you are. Now, exactly what am I gettin' for my money?  
  MANAGER
  Well, our party packages include everything, even a visit from Cheesie Charlie himself.  
  PETER
  Well, let's say you knock off fifty bucks and we get a less popular character. Like that elephant from Horton Hears A Ho.  
  INT. CHEAP MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT (CUTAWAY)
  HORTON the elephant lies on the bed reading a book. The CAT IN THE HAT sits at the table.

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 20.
           
  The faint sound of a creaking bed is heard from the next room. Horton perks up a bit and puts his ear to the wall.
  HORTON
  Hey.  
  THE CAT IN THE HAT
  Hmm?  
  HORTON
  C‘mere.  
  THE CAT IN THE HAT
  What?  
  HORTON
  Someone's gettin' laid.  
  INT. CHEESIE CHARLIE'S - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  MANAGER
  Our prices are set by the corporate office.  
  PETER
  Look, junior, you're not dealing with a common, everyday simpleton here.  
  Peter absently pulls a plastic ball from the crack of his ass and tosses it aside. We hear it bounce away.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  I'll just take my business elsewhere. Good luck filling our spot by this Saturday.  
  SIX PARENTS appear with handfuls of checks and bags of money.
  PARENT #1
  I'll take it!

  PARENT #3
  Cash money!  
  MANAGER
  (SHRUGS, TO PETER) Suit yourself.  
  The Manager walks away with the parents.
  PETER
  (WORRIED) Okay, you drive a hard bargain. Five bucks off and neither of us tells my wife I almost lost our reservation? (BEAT) Four?  
  The Manager is gone. Peter turns to the animatronic bear band.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  You guys do. funerals?  
  The ANIMATRONIC ALLIGATOR BUGLER does a "mwah-mwah-mwah-mwahmwah!"

  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY
  Lois is there. - Meg enters with JENNIFER, a perky young girl.
  LOIS
  Meg, who's your friend?  
  MEG
  Mom, this is Jennifer.  
  JENNIFER
  What a lovely kitchen. Mrs. G, are those Duncan Hines brownies?  
  LOIS
  Why yes, I made them from scratch.  
  JENNIFER
  Meg, you didn't tell me your mother was just like Martha Stewart.  
  LOIS
  Oh, no, once you get to know me I‘m really very nice.  
  JENNIFER
  I gotta run, Meg. (TO LOIS) It was super nice meeting you. Bye!  
  Jennifer exits.
  MEG
  Mom, Jennifer invited me to a party on Saturday.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 23.
           
  LOIS
  This Saturday?  
  MEG
  She said it's a once in a lifetime event!  
  LOIS
  Well, so is your little brother's first birthday.  
  Brian enters and opens the refrigerator.
  MEG
  Stewie won't care if I miss it.  
  LOIS
  Of course, he will. And so will I. You'll be invited to other parties.  
  MEG
  Yeah, like that New Year's Eve party at the Insane Asylum?  
  INT. INSANE ASYLUM - NIGHT (FLASHBACK)
  Meg looks bored as a bunch of mental patients in party hats count down to midnight.
  PATIENTS
  Ten! Nine! Six! Chair! Milk! Blue! Happy Valentine's Day! Aaah!  
  They all yell and run around. A CRAZY GUY comes up to Meg.
  CRAZY GUY
  You see the rabbit, don't you?  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  Peter enters. He looks troubled.

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 24.
           
  PETER
  Heya, Lois. I got something to tell you...  
  LOIS
  Just a second, Peter.  
  As she speaks, Stewie, wearing his backpack, uses suction grips on his hands and shoes to climb down the side of the house. As he passes the window, we hear the muffled popping sounds as the suction cups stick and release. Only Brian notices this. He shrugs and goes back to perusing the fridge.
  LOIS (CONT'D)
  Meg, this party is important to me. My little baby is turning one.  
  Stewie's last suction cup pops off and he falls out of frame with a crash.
  STEWIE (O.S.)
  Aahh!  
  LOIS
  (OBLIVIOUS) Look, I've been planning this day since my ultrasound. Now our entire family is gonna be at Cheesie Charlie's on Saturday, and that includes you, understood?

  PETER
  Uh, well... About Cheesie Charlie‘s. (NERVOUS LAUGH) I uh... cancelled the reservation.  
  LOIS
  (ANGRY) Peter, how could you?  
  PETER
  It's not safe. I mean, kids disappear from that place like silverware.  
  LOIS
  Are you crazy? The party is only three days away. We‘ll never find a new place.  
  PETER
  (STARTING TO SWEAT) Calm down honey, I already found a couple of spots that would be perfect.  
  INT. SEEDY STRIP CLUB - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  Peter talks to a seedy CLUB OWNER.
  PETER
  Well, I think this could work out great, except a lot of these kids don't have laps yet.  
  CLUB OWNER
  They gotta have laps.

  Peter stands with a SWEATSHOP FOREMAN in a second floor office overlooking a warehouse full of CHILDREN at sewing machines, which whir in the background.
  SWEATSHOP FOREMAN
  Sure, the kids can make shoes all day long.  
  PETER
  Wow, arts and crafts. You provide cake?  
  SWEATSHOP FOREMAN
  No.  
  PETER
  No cake? How the hell'd this place get so popular?  
  INT. INSANE ASYLUM - DAY (FLASHBACK)
  The Mental Patients are still yelling and running around (as in prior flashback). Peter's talking to the Crazy Guy.

  Sure, we do parties here. If you don't mind the giant rabbit punching you in the gut.  
  PETER
  What rabbit? (DOUBLES OVER IN PAIN)  
  Ow!

  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  PETER
  But then I started thinking, we can give Stewie the best birthday ever right here in the bosoms of our own home.  
  LOIS
  Peter, we've been over this...  
  PETER
  Honey, you won't have to lift a finger. I already got us a clown, a magician, a petting zoo, a big ass pinata, the works. It's gonna be great.  
  LOIS
  I'm counting on you, Peter.  
  Lois walks out. Brian looks at Peter.
  BRIAN
  You don't have any of those things, do you.  
  PETER
  How do you know?  
  BRIAN
  I can smell fear.  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 28.
           
  PETER
  I got everything under control. All I need is a phone book, a phone, and more money than I could get for this house. Unless you can loan me some--?  
  BRIAN
  (RE: HIS FUR) Peter, do you see any pockets in this coat?  
  On Peter's distressed look...
  EXT. ESTAB. QUAHOG AIRPORT - DAY
  INT. QUAHOG AIRPORT - MOMENTS LATER
  Stewie trundles up to the ticket counter. He stands on his tip-toes and addresses the FEMALE AIRLINE EMPLOYEE.
  AIRLINE EMPLOYEE
  Well, hey there, little boy, are you lost?  
  STEWIE
  Listen to me (READING HER NAMETAG) Jolene. One ticket to Nicaragua. I want a window seat, and an in-flight Happy Meal. And no pickles! Oh, God help you if I find pickles.  
  AIRLINE EMPLOYEE
  Oh, you are lost.  
  STEWIE
  No, but my cause will be if I miss my flight to Managua. They'11 put me back in that labial Leavenworth.

  (INTO PHONE) Security, I have a lost little boy.  
  STEWIE
  What are you doing? Put down that phone at once or I'll disconnect it and your right hand.  
  A SECURITY GUARD comes over and leans down to Stewie.
  SECURITY GUARD
  Hey, little fella. Why don't you come with me?  
  He picks up Stewie and carries him on his shoulder.
  STEWIE
  No! Damn you, you're one of them, aren't you. What are they paying you? I ‘11 double it! I‘11 give you whatever you want. Money. Women. Men?

  Peter and two other contestants listen to Alex Trebek read the answer.
  ALEX TREBEK
  For eight hundred dollars, "This chemical dye is used in over ninety percent of all cosmetics."  
  Peter buzzes in.
  PETER
  Diarrhea!  
  Everyone laughs. Peter looks confused.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  What? (REALIZING) Oh, sorry. What is diarrhea.  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  BRIAN
  So how did you get the money?

  CLOSE ON A XEROXED SIGN -- It's a picture of a cat and it reads, "Missing. $100 Reward!" Peter takes the sign and studies the picture. He enters into:
  INT. GRIFFINS' GARAGE - CONTINUOUS (FLASHBACK)
  Dozens of purring cats in cages fill the garage.
  PETER
  Okay, which one of you is Fluffy? You're goin' home.  
  INT. GRIFFINS' KITCHEN - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  PETER
  Now I can afford to give Stewie the party Lois always dreamed of.  
  BRIAN
  I don't know, Peter. If I heard Lois correctly, she just wants a party with her family and... Hold it.  
  A beat later, a tiny chuck wagon pulled by a team of tiny horses tears through the kitchen.
  CHUCK WAGON DRIVER
  Yah! Yah!  
  Brian tears after the chuck wagon, but it disappears through a cabinet door. Brian opens the cabinet and there's just a bag of dog food.
  BRIAN
  Someday.  
  INT. AIRPORT SECURITY OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER
  The kindly Security Guard is kneeling by Stewie, who is sitting in a chair as if he's being interrogated.

  SECURITY GUARD
  Do you know your phone number, little boy?  
  STEWIE
  You won't get me to talk. Not even with cold running water, jumper cables, and a car battery!  
  SECURITY GUARD
  Sounds like you don't want to go home. Are you runnin' away?  
  STEWIE
  Stewart Gilligan Griffin runs from nothing!  
  SECURITY GUARD
  Y'know son, runnin' away never solves anything. You're getting to be a big boy now, and part of growin' up means facin' your problems head-on.  
  STEWIE
  (CONSIDERS THIS) Hmm. The ruptured capillaries in your nose belie the clarity of your wisdom. It seems the answer to my dilemma lies not in some war-torn third-world republic, but deep within myself. I will face this "professional" who tasks me.

  EXT. GRIFFINS' BACK YARD - SAME
  Some WORKMEN are finishing setting up a party tent. Peter, Quagmire and Cleveland look on, drinking beers.
  PETER
  Well, I had to steal a lot of cats to pay for this thing, but I think it was worth it.  
  Chris comes out of the house.
  CHRIS
  Hey, Dad, the balloons are here.  
  PETER
  (CALLING OFF) Bring ‘em around back! And don't let Stewie see them.  
  A shadow falls over the yard, a la "Independence Day." The guys look up.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  Look at that. I got him the three most popular characters. Bullwinkle, Snoopy, and Kate Moss.  
  ANGLE ON BALLOONS - Macy's parade balloons hover overhead. Bullwinkle and Snoopy each have crews of HANDLERS manning the ropes.

  One lone HANDLER holds the rope to the extremely thin Kate Moss balloon.

  Boy, that gal could use some cheese on the top shelf, all riiiight.  
  The Kate Moss balloon drifts into a tree and pops.
  CLEVELAND
  Peter, your extravagance leaves me at a loss for words. It sure is a strange feeling, being speechless and all.  
  PETER
  You ain't seen nothin' yet. Here comes the petting zoo.  
  A huge ark on a boat trailer pulls up to the curb. A grey, bearded MAN in a long white robe (with a dove perched on his shoulder) looks over the side.
  NOAH
  All right, head ‘em up, move ‘em out!  
  The side of the ark falls open, revealing pairs of many different animals that begin marching out. (We hear animal noises under the rest of the scene.) A pair of STOCKY FRAT BOYS walk out.
  NOAH (CONT'D)
  Hey! What kind of animals are you?  
  FRAT BOY #1
  Party.  
  NOAH
  Okay.

  Uh, I'm not gonna fall for this trick. Did you ask your mom?

  (DISAPPOINTED) Yes.  
  PETER
  Okay, then, have fun sweetheart.  
  MEG
  Thanks, Daddy! Can you give me a ride?  
  PETER
  I‘m kind of busy, honey.  
  CLEVELAND
  I'll take you to your party, Megan.  
  MEG
  Thanks, Mr. B.  
  PETER
  (CALLING 0.S.) Hey, those hot weiners are for the guests!  
  We hear an elephant roar o.s.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  Yes, you! Hey, don't you wave that trunk at... aw, that's it!  
  Peter marches off screen, rolling up his sleeves.

  INT. STEWIE' S BEDROOM' - CONTINUOUS
  MUSIC: "THIS IS THE END" (BY THE DOORS)
  Stewie is in just his diaper and a Care Bears headband. He mentally prepares for the battle ahead, doing a kata (a series of fluid martial arts poses) a la Martin Sheen in APOCALYPSE NOW. He then grabs two baby bottles, quickly ties the nipples together, then expertly flings them about like nunchakus.
  EXT. GRIFFINS' BACK YARD - CONTINUOUS
  Lois comes out of the house to where Brian and Peter stand.
  LOIS
  Oh, Peter, this is the most wonderful birthday celebration I could have imagined!  
  PETER
  Yeah. Hey, did you see the big ass pinata?  
  Peter points out a large, ass-shaped papier mache pinata.
  PETER (CONT'D)
  I sure hope candy comes out of that.

  Where' s Meg? I want to take some family pictures.  
  PETER
  Oh, she went to her friend's house. (THEN) Wow, look at that, David Copperfield just made your potato salad disappear.  
  ANGLE ON THE REFRESHMENT TABLE - - DAVID COPPERFIELD finishes one last spoonful of potato salad with a flourish. The, workmen watching him all clap appreciatively.
  LOIS
  (UPSET) Wait a minute, you mean Meg's gonna miss Stewie's birthday?  
  PETER
  Yeah. I told her it was okay. So, can I throw a great party or what?  
  LOIS
  Oh, Peter, you've ruined everything!  
  Lois starts to cry and runs into the house. Peter calls after her.
  PETER
  What‘s wrong? It‘s the ice sculpture, isn't it. Too anatomically correct.  
  Brian brings Peter a beer.
  BRIAN
  Peter, I think she's upset because Meg's not here.

FLIP TO:  
  INT. SPACIOUS, SPARSELY FURNISHED MANSION - DAY
  Meg is with Jennifer and her new friends. All of them are clean-cut, smiling teenagers with really short hair who are unusually peppy and wearing identical dark blue jogging suits and tennis shoes. In the center of the room there's a large punch bowl.
  JENNIFER
  I'm so glad you could join us, Meg. We‘re gonna have a great time on our trip.  
  MEG
  A trip? Like to the beach? Because I didn't bring my bathing suit...  
  JENNIFER
  Oh, you won't need anything for where we're going. Excuse me, I've got to go mix the punch.  
  Meg smiles and moves away. She doesn't see Jennifer as she pours rat poison, anti-freeze, rusty nails, broken glass, a rabid dog, and a book into the punch bowl. HOLD ON THE PUNCH BOWL: The book floats on top of the punch. It reads, "Paul Reiser's Couplehood."

  Hey, Stewie, you want some coffee ice cream? It‘11 give you a buzz.  
  STEWIE
  (GETTING RID OF HIM) Look! A moo cow!  
  CHRIS
  (LOOKING 0.S.) Cool!  
  Chris runs off. Stewie goes back to eyeing the crowd with suspicion.
  INT. PETER & LOIS' BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS
  Lois is on her bed, wiping her eyes, sadly. Peter paces, agitated.
  PETER
  C'mon, Lois, I hate to see ya cry. We got animals, we got a clown... I mean, a party couldn't be any better if Jesus himself showed up.  
  INT. SOMEBODY'S HOUSE - NIGHT (CUTAWAY)
  A party is in progress. JESUS is the center of attention. He's holding a pitcher of water.
  JESUS
  Okay, everybody, for my next miracle, I'm going to turn water into funk!

  Jesus snaps his fingers and there's a puff of smoke. Suddenly the room is brightly colored, with 70's-style disco lights, a flashing floor, and funkadelic music. Everybody starts doing the same funky dance moves. Jesus, still in his robe, now sports an Afro and leaps into a jazz split.
  INT. PETER & LOIS' BEDROOM - DAY (BACK TO SCENE)
  PETER
  I don't get it. I mean, I'm sorry I let Meg go to another party, but c'mon, it's Stewie's birthday, not yours. (UH-OH) Is it?  
  LOIS
  Peter, we're celebrating the day our family became whole.  
  PETER
  Huh. I never thought about it like that.  
  LOIS
  If I never accomplish anything else in my life, I can always be proud that I brought three healthy, normal children into this world.  
  EXT. GRIFFINS' BACK YARD - CONTINUOUS
  Stewie examines the crowd with high-tech field glasses.

  Stewie, now full-term, is very cramped.
  STEWIE (V.O.)
  The prison cell had become smaller and smaller as the days passed. My only means of retaliation were my impotent kicks.  
  Stewie kicks.
  STEWIE (CONT'D; V.0.)
  I could hear my captors mocking me.  
  LOIS
  (MUFFLED) Oh, my, he's a feisty one.  
  The soft impression of Peter's face appears inches from Stewie's.
  PETER (O..S.)
  (MUFFLED BABY TALK) Hi, baby!

  INT. DELIVERY ROOM - DAY - CONTINUOUS (FLASHBACK)

  But suddenly, I was seized by a mysterious Man in White!  
  EXT. GRIFFINS ‘ BACK YARD - DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
  Stewie snaps out of his reverie.

  The Man in White! Of course. That cervical warden failed to thwart my escape into the outside world. Now, on the anniversary of his blunder, he's returning to rectify his mistake and put me back in the womb! But I shall be prepared.

  JENNIFER
  Meg, you seem sad. Today's a happy day!  
  MEG
  I know. It's just that... well, I really like that guy over there, but he doesn't even know I exist. He must think I'm like a total dog.  
  JENNIFER
  Oh, that's so not true! You look great.  
  MEG
  Then what is it?  
  JENNIFER
  He's a eunuch.  
  MEG
  (CHEERED) Really?  
  JENNIFER
  Sure! All the guys here have been chemically castrated. It's cool!

  Accompanied by cheezy Vegas music, DAVID COPPERFIELD has Cleveland in a vertical box. He appears to be inserting sheets of metal right through Cleveland's body! The PARENTS watch, entertained.

  I got a trick for you. Write your phone number on this piece of paper.

  ANGLE ON CLEVELAND, whose head (still in a box) is now detached from his body and being held aloft by Copperfield.
  CLEVELAND
  Mr. Copperfield, you are truly the master of prestidigitation.  
  Peter runs over.
  PETER
  Cleveland, I gotta find Meg. You gotta take me to that party she's at!  
  CLEVELAND
  Peter, I'm in no condition to drive. I've had three beers. Besides, a man can't leave his own son's birthday festivities.

  Aw, he won't even notice I‘m gone. He's playing with his little friends.  
  PAN TO Stewie, surrounded by other one year-olds in diapers. He paces up and down before them like a general addressing his troops.
  STEWIE
  ‘The hour of reckoning is at hand. The Man in White is coming for me. You could be next. And you!  
  The children look at him, cluelessly. One of them falls over.
  STEWIE (CONT'D)
  But today I offer you the opportunity to join with me in glorious battle.  
  I know there are some amongst you whose motor skills are not yet developed. Sadly, you will be used as decoys. But your children's children will know that you fell for a noble cause. Now, who's with me?

  Ooh! Our leader is here. He's going to take us on our journey.  
  MEG
  So he's like a tour guide?  
  JENNIFER
  (BRIGHTLY) Okay!

  The Cult Leader notices Meg.

  This is Meg, oh wise one. Can she come with us?  
  CULT LEADER
  Perhaps. (TO MEG) Do you have a mind that seeks enlightenment, a heart that seeks purity, and a dark blue jogging suit?  
  MEG
  I have a black one with the name of my high school on it...  
  CULT LEADER
  (LOSING IT) Not black! (COMPOSING HIMSELF) I'll see what we have in stock. What're you, about a nine?  
  MEG
  (EMBARRASSED) Hahaha, no, a six!  
  CULT LEADER
  (SURE YOU ARE) Right. My mistake. (TO JENNIFER) Dispense the, uh, refreshments!  
  The Cult Leader goes into another room. Jennifer starts ladling the punch and handing out cups to the others. Meg takes a cup as we PAN TO another door where Peter enters.

  Hey, hey. Not before the rest of us.  
  Jennifer offers him a cup for punch.
  JENNIFER
  Would you like a drink, Mr. G?  
  PETER
  Does it have booze in it?  
  JENNIFER
  No, sir.

  No, thanks. Meg, your mother wants the family together today.

  Hold the phone. I don't remember• anyone here changin' her diapers or feeding her in the middle of the night or takin' care of her when she was sick.  
  CULT KID #1
  (TOUCHED) You did all that?  
  PETER
  Hell, no, not me. But her mom did. (TO MEG) She's always doin' stuff for me and you kids. That‘s why when she asks us to do something, we should do it.  
  MEG
  I know, but it‘s just Stewie's birthday. Why does she care if I'm there?  
  PETER
  I don't know... Maybe, it‘s kind of like her birthday, too. Once a year for each of you, your mom gets to remember the day you came into her life.  
  MEG
  (TEARING UP) I'm the worst daughter ever!

  I've been so selfish. After all mom's done for me.  
  The kids are all moved.

  Yeah./ Me, too./ I still hate my Dad, though.

  Mr. Griffin, could we come to Stewie's party, too?  
  PETER
  Sure. You're all invited.  
  JENNIFER
  Meg, you have the coolest family.  
  Peter picks up a glass of punch and raises it.
  PETER
  She sure does. Hey, here's to family!  
  CULT KIDS
  To family!  
  They all drink the punch. Peter lifts his glass but glances at his watch, spilling the punch.

  PETER (CONT'D)
  Okay. We'll take separate cars.  
  INT. CULT MANSION - CONTINUOUS
  The leader comes in carrying a dark blue jogging suit.
  CULT LEADER
  Children, the time of ascension has arrived...  
  The Cult Leader looks down and sees his dead followers on the floor (and out of frame), then the half-empty punch bowl.
  CULT LEADER (CONT‘D)
  Oh, for the love of... Haven't any of you been in a cult before?  
  He crosses to the doorway and sees Peter and Meg drive off.
  CULT LEADER (CONT'D)
  No! I can't achieve transcendence by myself! That would just make me some kind of lone nut. Come back, Meg!  
  He starts out, then stops.

  CULT LEADER (CONT‘D)
  Whoops, can't forget my ceremonial white robe.  
  He grabs a white robe off the coat rack by the door. It looks uncannily similar to what the doctor was wearing in Stewie's birth flashback.
  EXT. GRIFFINS' BACK YARD - DAY
  The party is winding down. Lois looks around sadly.
  LOIS
  (SADLY) Well, I guess there's nothing left but the birthday cake.  
  Meg comes out of the house holding the cake.
  MEG
  One vanilla-fudge swirl with buttercream frosting, coming right up!  
  LOIS
  Meg!  
  MEG
  I'm sorry, Mom.  
  Peter enters. Lois sees him.
  LOIS
  (TOUCHED) Thank you, Peter.  
  PETER
  No problem. (CHEERFULLY) Hey, now that we're all here, what say we cut the damn cake!

  LOIS
  Gather round, everyone, it's time for Stewie's big moment.  
  EXT. GRIFFINS' HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
  The Cult Leader knocks on the front door. The door slowly swings open with a creak.
  CULT LEADER
  Hello?  
  He enters, tentatively.
  INT. GRIFFINS' HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
  The Cult Leader walks in the hall. The place is eerily quiet. He hears a scampering behind him and whirls, but nothing's there.
  CULT LEADER
  Is anybody home?  
  The door slams shut behind him.
  CULT LEADER (CONT'D)
  Aaah!  
  Stewie's voice is amplified - - it sounds as if it's coming from all around.
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  (AMPLIFIED & FILTERED) Greetings, Man in White. I've been expecting you.  
  CULT LEADER
  (SCARED) Who said that?  
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  (AMPLIFIED & FILTERED) Peek-a-boo, I see you!  
  The Cult Leader turns toward the living room and spots a partially open closet door with a mirror on it.

  STEWIE (CONT'D; V.0.)
  (AMPLIFIED & FILTERED) You're getting warmer!  
  The Cult Leader moves towards the closet door, then throws it open! It's just a baby monitor.
  CULT LEADER
  Where are you? What do you want!  
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  (AMPLIFIED & FILTERED) Freedom! What do you want?  
  CULT LEADER
  I want to get the hell out of here.  
  STEWIE (V.0.)
  (AMPLIFIED & FILTERED) I'm sorry, we're fresh out of that. I'm afraid all we have left is untimely death!  
  The Cult Leader hears a noise behind him. He whirls around -- no one's there. He turns back and closes the closet door. We see in the mirror that Stewie's standing right behind him! He wields a strange looking laser-sighted raybeam. The Cult Leader spins around to face him.
  CULT LEADER
  What the hell is this?  
  STEWIE
  It's a boy!  
SMASH CUT TO:  
  EXT. GRIFFINS' BACK YARD - CONTINUOUS
  Lois is lighting a big candle on the cake.
  PETER
  Hey, anybody seen Stewie?  

FAMILY GUY 1ACX04 "CHITTY CHITTY DEATH BANG" (TABLE DRAFT) 8/20/98 55.
           
  From behind, we see the whole inside of the house light up from the laser and hear a pshoooo sound.
  MEG
  Yeah, where's the birthday boy?  
  Stewie comes swaggering out of the yard, brushing some dust off his clothes.
  STEWIE
  Victory is mine!  
  LOIS
  Yes, and this cake is yours, too, if you blow out your candle.  
  CHRIS
  Hey, Stewie, make a wish. If you blow out the candle, it'll come true.  
  PETER
  That‘s right, little buddy. What do you want most in the whole world?  
  STEWIE
  (RUBS HIS HANDS TOGETHER, EVILLY) All right. (INHALES, THEN RECONSIDERS) Oh, what the hell.  
  He blows out the candle. There's a puff of smoke, and suddenly the yard is filled with funkadelic music. As everyone, including Stewie, starts doing the same funky dance, we:
FADE OUT:  
THE END
