I erased my recording of the episode that featured the cardboard box. My wife is doing a presentation for her work, and it involves the concept of a cardboard box. I've been trying to retell the episode, but can't recall the entire scenario. Does anyone have a transcript of whatever episode that was, or would someone be willing to break down the details...?
Thanks,
Stu (who appreciates a nice parenthetical expression)
"The Courtship of Stewie's Father," which aired Nov 20/05. Lois believes Stewie has been acting up because Peter hasn't been interacting enough with him. Lois insists Peter spend more time with him. Peter brings out a large cardboard box so the two of them can make a box fort. Peter takes the box and decides to play with it himself, as he decides it's a spaceship and crawls off with it covering him like a turtle shell. The two bond later on when Peter discovers Stewie delights in the misery of Lois (objects dropped on her head, garden hose turned on her when she's using the toilet, tossing her in the trunk of the car and rolling it into a lake). Lois puts an end to this and the new father/son bond weakens. The episode ultimately ends up with father and son rebonding after going to Disney World, Stewing being forced to be part of the "Tiny World" ride, and an adventure on the Indiana Jones ride.
Lois: Starting today, I want you to spend more time with Stewie.
Peter: Uh, okay.
(Peter leaves the room, comes back in carrying a large cardboard box)
Peter: You could make a box fort. See, here's a box, you can pretend it's a fort! Actually that sounds like fun. I want this!!
(Peter climbs into box that is laying on it's side)
Peter: I'm king in here.
Lois: Peter, maybe Stewie would like to play fort too.
