[English]

[Music]

we are that's odd

it's our house but somehow it looks a

little different mom my lips are too

thin can I please get collagen

injections meg you don't need to change

the way you look you know most of the

world's problems stem from poor

self-image oh my god what's with Meg's

voice she sounds like someone who's

about to give up a huge opportunity

that's nothing look at you you look like

a prize at some Mexican church carnival

excellent

the mind control device is nearing

completion Stewie I said no toys at the

table damn you vile woman you've impede

admire in stir day I escaped from your

wretched womb oh don't pout honey

you know when you were born the doctor

said you were the happiest looking baby

he'd ever seen but of course that was my

victory day the fruition of my deeply

laid plans to escape from that cursed

ovarian bastille return the device woman

jeez would you carry a thesaurus around

with you you know it's amazing I could

speak at all with that circumcision

still healing hey wait a minute Stewie

that's the spot that's where I buried my

tennis ball well Brian what you're doing

you can't dig it up here just make a

mental note of where you buried it and

as soon as we're back in the present you

can dig it up then why because we can't

risk doing anything that alters the past

you know I never got that I mean

wouldn't you want to alter the past I

mean you could make life better for

yourself and not just for yourself for

everyone you you could stop 9/11 Brian

there's one rule of time travel and that

is do not alter the past in any way or

the consequences could be dire yeah

where'd you hear that

quantum leap that guy changed the past

all the time whoa boy hey Peter at seven

o'clock and you've still got your pants

on what's the occasion

ooh I remember this Peters I did that

weird creepy thing where it went over

his nose come on you're worrying about

nothing Oh remember when you got drunk

off the communion wine at church look at

that wait what are they doing I don't

know they're just standing there like

zombies do you think they're all right

I'm not sure and then there was that

time at the ice cream store they're

doing it again what the hell

I'm at a loss I mean I know we're not

supposed to mess with the timeline but

should we call an ambulance

it is so creepy and remember you had an

Irish coffee the day we went to see

Philadelphia

oh they're setting up cutaways oh my god

is that what we did back then yeah I

mean now we just like return text

messages and screw around and whatnot

Lois I'm not going back to work tomorrow

that new boss has it in for me he's

meaner than a shifty salesman you sure

you got time to smoke

oh yeah it's a now Harrington it goes on

for a while all right look we found out

where your ball is buried now let's get

back to our own time okay get the return

pad let's go

not out here in the open someone could

see us remember no altering the timeline

come on let's get up to my room

Key Grammar Structures

• Meg, you don't need to change the way you look, you know most of the world’s problems stem from poor self-image.

  ➔ Modal verbs (don't need to), complex sentence structure with subordinate clause (you know...), noun + prepositional phrase (problems stem from)

  ➔ The phrase "don't need to" expresses a lack of obligation. The sentence demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of cause and effect with "stem from". The clause "you know" adds a conversational tone.

• Brian, there's one rule of time travel and that is do not alter the past in any way or the consequences could be dire.

  ➔ Imperative mood (do not alter), conditional sentence (if...could be), use of 'dire' as an adjective.

  ➔ The sentence uses a strong imperative to emphasize the importance of the rule. The conditional clause highlights the potential negative outcomes of breaking the rule. "Dire" is a formal and impactful adjective.

• Oh, remember when you got drunk off the communion wine at church?

  ➔ Past tense, indirect question (when you got drunk...), colloquial language ('drunk off')

  ➔ The sentence uses the past tense to recall a past event. The indirect question structure makes it a conversational reminiscence. 'Drunk off' is an informal way of saying 'intoxicated by'.
