->''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;''

->'''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''.\\
'''Lois:''' [[BigWhat What]]?!\\
'''Peter:''' Did not care for ''The Godfather''.\\
'''Chris:''' How can you even say that, Dad?\\
'''Peter:''' Didn't like-- didn't like it.\\
'''Lois:''' Peter, it's so good! [[SacredCow I-it's like the perfect movie]]!\\
'''Peter:''' This is what everyone always says, whenever--\\
'''Chris:''' Robert De Niro. Al Pacino. I mean, you never see-- [[SuddenlyShouting ROBERT DUVALL]]!\\
'''Peter:''' I know. Fine, fine actor. Did not like the movie.\\
'''Brian:''' Why not?\\
'''Peter:''' Did not-- Couldn't get into it.\\
'''Lois:''' [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow Explain yourself. What didn't you like about it]]?\\
'''Peter:''' It ''insists'' upon itself, Lois.\\
'''Lois:''' What?\\
'''Peter:''' It insists upon itself.\\
'''Lois:''' What does that even mean?\\
'''Chris:''' 'CAUSE IT HAS A VALID POINT TO MAKE! IT'S INSISTENT!\\
'''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.\\
'''Chris:''' YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE ''ENDING''?!\\
'''Stewie:''' We-well, how can you say you don't like it if you haven't even given it a chance?!\\
'''Lois:''' I agree with Stewie. It's not really fair.\\
'''Chris:''' It's outrageous.\\
'''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--\\
'''Lois:''' Yeah, that's a great scene. I love that scene.\\
'''Peter:''' That is ''not'' a great--\\
'''Chris:''' It's been noted in every annal.\\
'''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.\\
'''Lois:''' You know what, Peter--\\
'''Chris:''' THEY'RE SPEAKING ITALIAN!\\
'''Lois:''' The language they're speaking is a language of subtlety, something you don't understand.\\
'''Peter:''' I love ''Film/TheMoneyPit''. That is my answer to that statement.\\
'''Lois:''' Exactly.\\
'''Peter:''' Well, there ya go.\\
'''Lois:''' Whatever.\\
'''Chris:''' ...I like that movie too.
