1 | ->''Here, and throughout the story, we see that confusion of purpose which is so characteristic of silly novels written by women. It is a story of quite modern drawing-room society–a society in which polkas are played and Puseyism discussed; yet we have characters, and incidents, and traits of manner introduced, which are mere shreds from the most heterogeneous romances. . . we have a crazy gipsy, in a scarlet cloak, singing snatches of romantic song, and revealing a secret on her deathbed which, with the testimony of a dwarfish miserly merchant, who salutes strangers with a {{curse}} and a devilish laugh, goes to prove that Ernest, the model young clergyman, is Kate's brother;'' |

4 | ->'''Peter:''' Well, that's pretty much all there is to tell, kids. The Griffin family history is a rich tapestry. But, since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you: I did not care for ''Film/TheGodfather''.\ |
5 | '''Lois:''' [[BigWhat What]]?!\ |
6 | '''Peter:''' Did not care for ''The Godfather''.\ |
7 | '''Chris:''' How can you even say that, Dad?\ |
8 | '''Peter:''' Didn't like-- didn't like it.\ |
9 | '''Lois:''' Peter, it's so good! [[SacredCow I-it's like the perfect movie]]!\ |
10 | '''Peter:''' This is what everyone always says, whenever--\ |
11 | '''Chris:''' Robert De Niro. Al Pacino. I mean, you never see-- [[SuddenlyShouting ROBERT DUVALL]]!\ |
12 | '''Peter:''' I know. Fine, fine actor. Did not like the movie.\ |
13 | '''Brian:''' Why not?\ |
14 | '''Peter:''' Did not-- Couldn't get into it.\ |
15 | '''Lois:''' [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow Explain yourself. What didn't you like about it]]?\ |
16 | '''Peter:''' It ''insists'' upon itself, Lois.\ |
17 | '''Lois:''' What?\ |
18 | '''Peter:''' It insists upon itself.\ |
19 | '''Lois:''' What does that even mean?\ |
20 | '''Chris:''' 'CAUSE IT HAS A VALID POINT TO MAKE! IT'S INSISTENT!\ |
21 | '''Peter:''' It takes forever gettin' in, and you spend-- you spend like six and a half hours, and then... you know, I can't even get through-- I can't even ''finish'' the movie. I've never even ''seen'' the ending.\ |
22 | '''Chris:''' YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE ''ENDING''?!\ |
23 | '''Stewie:''' We-well, how can you say you don't like it if you haven't even given it a chance?!\ |

25 | '''Chris:''' It's outrageous.\ |
26 | '''Peter:''' I have tried on ''three'' separate occasions to get through it, and I-- I get to the scene where all the guys are sittin' around in the easy chairs--\ |
27 | '''Lois:''' Yeah, that's a great scene. I love that scene.\ |
28 | '''Peter:''' That is ''not'' a great--\ |
29 | '''Chris:''' It's been noted in every annal.\ |
30 | '''Peter:''' I have ''no idea'' what they're talkin' about. It's like they're speakin' a different lang-- That's where I lose interest and I go away.\ |
31 | '''Lois:''' You know what, Peter--\ |
32 | '''Chris:''' THEY'RE SPEAKING ITALIAN!\ |
33 | '''Lois:''' The language they're speaking is a language of subtlety, something you don't understand.\ |
34 | '''Peter:''' I love ''Film/TheMoneyPit''. That is my answer to that statement.\ |
35 | '''Lois:''' Exactly.\ |
36 | '''Peter:''' Well, there ya go.\ |
37 | '''Lois:''' Whatever.\ |
38 | '''Chris:''' ...I like that movie too. |
