Nathan Hale (June 6, 1755 – September 22, 1776) was an American Patriot, soldier and spy for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, but was captured by the British and executed. Although no official records were kept of Hale's final speech, it has traditionally been reported that his last words were: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
In "80's Guy", as Stewie prepares to climb the playground jungle gym to retrieve Doug's frisbee and at the same time show how brave he is, Brian dismisses it as not a big deal. Stewie insists that if he pulls it off, he'll go down in history, like his ancestor who was hanging next to Nathan Hale. A cutaway gag shows Nathan delivering his famous last words, while Stewie's ancestor threatens to defecate all over the surrounding soldiers.
