All right, look, when he comes back, I'm just gonna do it, okay? I'm just gonna point my gun straight at his head before he even knows what's going on.
(shotgun racks) Kinda like this? You know, Quagmire, you are pathetic.
…is that it? Uh-uh! Not unless you want your friend's brains all over the place! Listen, Jeff, just put the gun down and we'll forget this whole thing, okay?
Is she still with him? Isn't he the one that beats her? Yeah, but she's gotten a lot better.
Corrects you? Brenda, he's not correcting you, he's beating you! Well, I-I-I can see why you'd think that 'cause of the punches and all, but it's just that Jeff's been so angry about immigrants.
