Quotations

 * Brian: My grandfather used to tell me, "Brian, a lot of things in this world are free, and Denise is not one of them."
 * Sam: Brian, how's it feel? This is the most people that have or ever will see your show! ...
 * Brian: You're watching, Mom, and that's all that matters.
 * Sam: Well, I was going to say something really dirty and I'm not going to. There's a little placard right here that says, "Please be aware that members of your audience are underage."
 * Travis on Grog's Bag of Holding: What you fools haven't realized is that I have amassed all the magical power in the universe. I'm going to kill all of you. I'm going to hot-glue it all to an oven mitt and be like, "I am now the strongest in the world!"
