Quotes
- TV Announcer: We now return to Bottom Chef.
- Padma: Daniel L., please pack your fudge and go.
- Daniel: Fine!
- Tom: Also found in the mayor's residence was a blackmail note from the victim threatening to expose the mayor in a corruption scandal unless the victim was paid off. You can put a picture of a note above my shoulder any time now, Tony.
- [Tony puts a picture of the Rose Bowl parade up there]
- Tom: No, that's the Rose Bowl Parade.
- [Tony puts a picture of the Pumpkin Festival up there]
- Tom: That's the Pumpkin Festival.
- [Tony puts a picture of Tom in lingerie up there]
- Tom: Okay, okay, you think that humiliates me? You-I-I don't care. Oscar Delahoya does it. I want people to know about this. I pretend my name is "Bronzie" and that I'm a professional pole dancer. Call me a queer, but it takes a real man to admit to something like this.
- Mayor West: Thank you, Sensei.
- [The Sensei appears in the courtroom]
- Sensei: You're welcome, young grasshopper.
- Mayor West: [gasp] He came!
- Bruce: I guess we's making our decision now. All in favor of "guilty," raise your hands.
- [Everyone raises their hands instantly]
- Carter: Guilty. All guilty.
- Quagmire: Good, well, that's it, let's get out of here.
- Bruce: Anyone for "not guilty"?
- [The jury looks at each other in intimidation, hoping that nobody will raise their hand. They don't expect anyone to, either; Just then, Brian raises his hand, much to the anger of everyone else; Everyone (except Bruce) rants and yells at him in anger]
- Brian: What? I think he's innocent.
- Carl: Come on, man, just change your opinion, so we can get on with our substitutes for lives.
- Brian: I'm not changing my opinion. If it has to be unanimous, why don't you all say he's innocent?
- [Everyone groans, except for Bruce]
- Bruce: All right, looks like we's gonna be here a while.
- Seamus: I take it, this means we be spending dinner here too.
- Bruce: I guess so.
- Seamus: Damn. I was gunna go Kraken hunting with the mateys tonight.
- [Seamus takes out his phone; Camera pans to the right to reveal that outside the window, there's a pirate ship in the ocean]
- Seamus: Not tonight, boys.
- [The pirate ship sails away]
- Pirates: [disappointed] Arrgh!
- Bruce: Now, who wants pizza for dinner?
- [Everyone raises their hands instantly]
- Bruce: And who wants Purina Moist and Meaty Dog Chow?
- [The jury looks at each other again, and Brian raises his hand in the same way, much to more angered arguing from the jury]
- Peter: I had that for breakfast!
- Dr. Hartman: Oh, shoot. That was a stomach ache. I told that guy, he had polio.
- Brian: Look, the system specifies, the defendant must be proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. Mayor West's life is on the line here. I'm just saying, it's possible he didn't do it.
- [The other jurors argue and babble at him]
- Peter: That's for the jury to decide!
- Mort: Mayor West is crazy. He should have been locked up a long time ago.
- Dr. Hartman: Yeah, there's definitely something off about him.
- Consuela: He muy loco.
- Quagmire: Look, Brian, are you forgetting that Mayor West has a long criminal record? The guy was caught speeding dozens of times.
- [Cutaway to Mayor West speeding and a cop car chasing after him]
- Mayor West: Slow down, speed demon!
- [Back to scene]
- Mort: And that's not all. Mayor West even robbed my pharmacy.
- [Cutaway to Mayor West in Mort's Pharmacy; Mayor west is wearing a ski mask and he's holding a gun and a burlap sack; Mayor West holds Mort at gunpoint]
- Mayor West: Alright, Shylock. I'm gunna ask you one more time. Put the money in the bag, or there will be consequences.
- Mort: Oh, jeez.
- [Police sirens are heard]
- Mayor West: Damn! I have no time for this. I have to flee.
- [Mayor West leaps on the counter, and jumps through a sky window in Mort's store, escaping just before the cops enter]
- Cop: Put your hands up, dirtbag! Hey, where is he?
- Mort: Oh, he just escaped. Oh, well. At least he didn't steal anything from my store.
- Cop: You sure, cuz you seem to have run out of ski masks, guns, and burlap sacks.
- [Mayor West, in his robber attire runs by the window, victoriously]
- Mayor West: Ha ha!
- Mort: Dammit!
- [Back to scene]
- Herbert: And let's not forget the time, he became a straight out supervillain.
- [Cutaway to Adam West in his Original Batman attire, facing off against a more modern version of Batman in a Gotham City esque scene]
- Adam West: There's only room in this town for one Batman, and that man is me.
- Batman: Your time has come and gone, old man. This is the dawning of the age of Modern Batman.
- Adam West: You wanna fight, newbie?
- Batman: Gladly. I already know, I'm gunna beat you.
- Adam West: Nothing beats the CLASSICS!
- [Adam West and Batman jump toward each other]
- Batman: I'M BATMAN!
- Adam West: THAT WAS NEVER MY CATCHPHRASE!
- [Just as Batman and Adam West go near each other, the cutaway ends, and we're back to the scene]
- Consuela: Si, Mayor West criminal record dirtier than this table.
- Bruce: Mayor West did say, he never saw the letter, and he was under oath.
- Tom: Yeah, he lied.
- Carter: Of course he lied. He's a politician. They're all liars.
- Brian: Hey, that's not true.
- Peter: Yeah, it is! John F. Kennedy swore he'd serve a full four-year term. Liar.
- Brian: Look, we should be sticking to the facts, not stereotypes. It's unfair to say that all politicians are liars, therefore Mayor West is guilty.
- Consuela: Si, stereotypes are no bueno.
- Carl: You're really not the right person, to be saying that.
- Consuela: Ay, caramba! Me say no, no, no, to esteriotipos! Ay ay ay!
- Bruce: Maybe we should take a look at that letter.
- Carl: Yeah, I'd like to see that, cuz I can read it, just like everybody else. [thought] And the charade continues.
- Brian: I once got a note from the Marriott written on the same paper.
- [Brian holds up a note he got]
- Peter: [reading the note] Dear Brian, you were amazing last night. You made me feel like a natural woman. Love, Ida. [stops reading] Oh, this is from the night you had sex with Quagmire's dad!
- Quagmire: Ah, come on!
- Bruce: [reading Consuela's vote] El guilto.
- Quagmire: The term, "orgy" is outdated. Now, we call them, "genital jamborees".
- Peter: Do you guys mind if I struggle to open these blinds?
- [Peter struggles to open the window blinds]
- Peter: Damn it, come on, stay up there.
- Brian: [offscreen] You got to yank it to the side, Peter.
- Peter: I'm yanking it as far as it goes.
- [Peter continues struggling to keep the blinds open]
- Carl: [offscreen] You got to catch it on the thing.
- Peter: [sarcastically] Oh, that's helpful.
- [Peter continues trying to open the blinds]
- Seamus: [offscreen] Arrgh, the left side be getting getting lower than the right side.
- Peter: I can see what's happening.
- [Peter yanks the blinds open, but still has to hold the strings to keep it up]
- Quagmire: [offscreen] Now twist it.

- [Peter tears the blinds off of the wall]
- Peter: See? Now it's open.
