Brian: I don't get it, Stewie. You've been talking forever. Why did everyone suddenly understand you now?
Stewie: I don't know. I was feeling so much intense emotion in the moment, and that one word somehow just burst through.
Brian: Yeah, but now what? Everyone can understand you?
Stewie: I don't think so. Not unless I'm yelling something I feel strongly about. (shouts) GRETA GERWIG IS A NATIONAL TREASURE! (nobody present responds) See? Nothing. I guess I'm not feeing it, I don't know. What if that's the only thing I'll be able to express? Anger! What kind of person would I be then?
Brian: Larry David, Lewis Black, a Trump voter, everyone on Twitter...
Stewie: But I don't want to be any of those things! They've got to hear me! (shouting) ICE CREAM! LOLLIPOP! BUBBLES! KITTY CAT! DOGGIE! RAINCOAT! PRESCHOOL! FIRETRUCK! GOLDFISH! FINGER PAINT!
