Quotes 

• Chris Griffin : Darn it! why is this so hard?

  Meg Griffin : What's wrong, Chris?

  Chris Griffin : Just 'cause Obama's coming, everybody in my English class has to write a stupid essay about hope, but this is all I can come up with.

  Meg Griffin : Chris, this is just a shaded-in triangle and the word "muff."

  Chris Griffin : For God's sakes, Meg, it's a first draft. Just tell me if you think the tone is right.

  Meg Griffin : Well, I don't know what this is, but it's not what hope is about, Chris.

  Chris Griffin : Well, if you're such a genius, you tell me what hope is.

  Meg Griffin : Hope is what gets you out of bed in the morning when it's the day of prom and you haven't been asked. Hope pushes the caterpillar through the cocoon and drives the salmon upstream. Your breasts may be small and your glasses may be thick, but hope doesn't hold up a mirror. Hope is a horizon we head for, leaving nothing behind us but fear. And though we may never reach our goals, it's hope that will save us from who we once were.

  Chris Griffin : Wow. Did you learn that at school?

  Meg Griffin : No. You can't just Iearn creative writing, Chris. It's got to be inside you, Iike musical talent or athleticism or the ability to choose to be gay.

  Chris Griffin : I don't think they choose that.

  Meg Griffin : Oh, please. They choose that.

• Brian Griffin : Now, since the operation is tomorrow, I thought it might be a good idea to just kind of close the book, you know? So I just wanted to share my final thoughts with each one of you. Meg, you're so beautiful on the inside, but it's very important that you know your Iimitations.

  Meg Griffin : What do you mean?

  Brian Griffin : Well, I know they say "Reach for the stars," but if we all did that, there'd be nobody Ieft here on Earth, right?

  Meg Griffin : I guess.

  Brian Griffin : There you go. Chris, I have watched you grow from a Iittle boy into the young man you are today. I know sometimes Iife seems tough, but you just remember to reach for the stars.

  Chris Griffin : You really think I can?

  Brian Griffin : I know you can, slugger!
