- Brian: Oh, come on! That doesn't prove anything! That could be any baby I hit with my car.
- Wild: Brian Griffin, you're under arrest.
- [Everybody gasps]
- Peter: Just for destroying public property and fleeing the scene of the crime?
- Stewie: Why are we not leading with drunk driving?
- Wild: I'm afraid I have to take you to jail.
