[English]

Chris, I'm worried. Is Stewie still

unconscious?

Maybe he's just sleeping.

Is Stewie in here?

Yeah, yes.

Well, can you give him to me? It's time

for his dinner.

Oh, don't worry, Mom. We'll bring him

down. Anything I can do to make your

life a little easier.

Well, you could always grab the vacuum

and clean up the living room floor.

Oh, sure. I'll take care of that. Are

you uh running off to your job?

Oh.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Kids, what is taking so long? Dinner's

ready.

Aha. Look at my little cowboy.

Come on, Stewie. Up in your high chair.

Boy, he must be starving.

Yep, he's really chowing down.

Hey, how's the food, Stewie?

Brian, have you decided who's going to

star in your show?

Well, it's a tough role. I mean, Byron

is a 25-year-old single father going

back to finish college so he can do

right by his 4-year-old daughter. So,

it's got to be somebody who can project

a certain amount of world-wise and

sophistication while at the same time

retaining a certain youthfully

passionate idealism.

You know who'd be good? Big Jaw's.

Well, actually, in my mind, there's only

one actor who could do this role. Elijah

Wood.

Oh, Elijah Wood. I got a little bit of a

crush on him, I have.

Oh, oh, look, Lois. We're spun.

Okay, ready? 1

2 3

Yes. I GOT 5 SECONDS.

HA.

NO GRAVITY.

THERE he is.

Oh, go on.

No, REALLY, GO ON.

HI, I'M TODD GOLDSTEIN, SENIOR executive

of programming here at the network. We

are so happy to be working with you.

I hope you brought the magic wand you

wrote this with.

Yep, it's right here. Watch, I'll turn

this beautiful princess into a toad.

Ribbit.

Oh, all right. I can tell this is going

to be a fun process. You know, Brian,

you've spun gold into these pages and

it's our job to bring that gold to the

screen. So, what do you say we get this

casting session started, huh?

LET'S DO IT.

YEAH!

OKAY. NOW, OBVIOUSLY, WE love Elijah

Wood for the part of Byron as much as

you do. The audition is just a

formality. Let's bring him in.

Elijah.

Hi, everyone.

Hey, Elijah.

Woody.

So, should I just jump into this?

Whenever you're ready.

Okay, I'll read you in, Elijah. Now,

this is the scene where Byron's

professor fails him for missing the

chemistry midterm to take his daughter

to the doctor.

I'm sorry, Byron. Missing the midterm is

an automatic failure.

Go ahead, Professor Watkins. Fail me if

you want. Give me an F on the exam. I

don't care because I got an A today as a

dad. Maybe this is news to you, but love

isn't some element on your periodic

table. So, you know what? Keep your

chromium and magnesium because I

discovered a much more precious element.

I discovered dadmium.
