Quotes 

• Cleveland Brown : [sadly]  I'm glad you're all here, please sit down.

  [the family is seated in front of Cleveland] 

  Cleveland Brown : I'm not sure how to tell ya'll this, so I'm just gonna say it. The other night... Meadowlark Lemon was killed.

  Rallo Tubbs : WHAT?

  Roberta Tubbs : OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED?

  Cleveland Brown : Well, as I was backing out of the driveway to get the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, which all later enjoyed, veury much, I accidently drove over his head with both my left rear tire and then, my left front tire. Curious, I stepped out of my vehicle and saw his mangled lifeless body on the driveway, in a smeared pool of his own blood.

  Cleveland Brown : Ugg, and now the hard part. I had no idea in the hours that followed, Lester and his family would eat Meadowlark Lemon.

  [Family stare in surprise horror] 

  Cleveland Brown : That's right they ate your dog.

  [in a more cheerful uplifted tone, meaning to change the subject] 

  Cleveland Brown : Okay, so Rallo, go throw the dog food out, we have no use for it now. That'll make room for a new recycling bin the kitchen. Hooray, hooray for the Browns and Tubbses.
