Episode Quotes

Eliza Pinchley: Oh bloody HELL! I gone and wet myself.
Olivia: You *are* the weakest link. Goodbye.
Stewie Griffin: Aha ha ha. Oh, gosh that's funny. That's really funny. Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Mmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And yet, you have taken that and used it out of context, to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. Mmm, that's so fresh too. Any titanic jokes you want to throw at me while we're hitting these at the height of their popularity? Hmm? Cause... I'm here. God you're SO funny.
Peter Griffin: Thank you, God.
God: You're welcome.

Trivia

  • The title is based on a line from the 1861 poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about the call to arms going throughout the Boston countryside as the British marched on Concord. One lantern was to be hung in the tower of the Old North Church if the British came by land and two if they crossed the Charles River. "One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk to be up and to arm."
  • The nasal-voiced character Nigel Pinchley is based on the actor Kenneth Williams who was a fixture of the long running British "Carry On..." comedies.
  • In the Tron sequence in the episode "One if by Clam, two if By Sea", the patterns on the walls of the light-cycle arena read "If you can read this your TV is upside down" - upside down.
  • The song Peter plays on the glasses before the hurricane is "What I Did For Love" from the musical "A Chorus Line".
