It's Christmas time.

31
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:28,555
Yeah, Lois, I knew
it was Christmas a week ago

32
00:01:28,622 --> 00:01:31,825
when the "O" in the PornHub
logo became a wreath.

33
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:33,393
- Same.
- Nice.

34
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:35,004
Listen, there's a lot of work
to be done

35
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:37,764
to make this place look festive,
and unlike most years,

36
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:40,500
where I do everything,
this year I want you all

37
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,235
to help
with the Christmas chores.

38
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:43,846
Come on, Lois.
You know the deal around here.

39
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:46,873
We split everything zero‐100,
like most couples.

40
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,542
And I also have another request.

41
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:50,277
I'd like
to finally get a present

42
00:01:50,344 --> 00:01:52,245
from the heart this year.

43
00:01:52,312 --> 00:01:54,147
Not just
some defective clothing item

44
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:56,183
Peter got on clearance
at Marshalls.

45
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:58,418
But you love The Roling Stons.

46
00:01:58,485 --> 00:02:00,229
Now, to make sure
you don't forget your chores,

47
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:01,722
I've made you each a list.

48
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:04,391
And I want all
of these completed by tomorrow.

49
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:07,361
Sorry. I can't do chores.
My trick elbow is acting up.

50
00:02:07,427 --> 00:02:10,130
- Is that your card?
- No.

51
00:02:10,197 --> 00:02:12,766
Oh, boy,
it's worse than I thought.

52
00:02:18,572 --> 00:02:21,742
Why are we doing our Christmas
shopping at the strip mall?

53
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,777
'Cause we ran out
of gas out front.

54
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:25,946
You got
to get that gas gauge fixed.

55
00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:28,015
Look, Chris, did you want
the gas gauge fixed,

56
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:29,583
or did you want a year of Quibi?

57
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,418
The gas gauge.

58
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:33,687
I'm sure we can find everything
on Mom's list here.

59
00:02:33,754 --> 00:02:35,422
It doesn't look so bad.

60
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:39,693
If this place doesn't have Baby
Yoda toys, I swear to God...

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,562
I'll probably buy something
with Spider‐Man on it.

62
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:45,098
Okay, guys, now before
you can shop at a strip mall,

63
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,100
you have
to use the free‐standing ATM

64
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,635
that's chained to a pole

65
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:51,271
and not affiliated
with any known bank.

66
00:02:52,873 --> 00:02:55,842
Good. It's taking
an extra‐long time

67
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:58,178
to read the card and probably
stealing the number.

68
00:02:58,245 --> 00:03:01,982
Select "yes"
to pay $15 fee. No brainer.

69
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:03,489
Perfect.
Now I can't read the screen,

70
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:05,218
'cause the glare is so bad.

71
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:06,953
And it's not giving me
my card back.

72
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,955
‐(phone ringing) ‐Hello?

73
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,524
Yes, this is Peter Griffin.

74
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:12,759
Not anymore?
Well, thanks for telling me.

75
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:15,529
Look, there's a card
and nice paper store.

76
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:19,366
Let's go walk around it slowly
and let out tiny farts.

77

80
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:27,974

00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:31,478
Ooh, Century Gothic font.

83

(loud, rumbling, gas expulsion)

84
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,650
Miss, this store
is for tiny farts only.

85
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:40,153
There's a Lids next door
for that sort of thing.

86
00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:44,858
Welcome to the strip mall
H&R Block.

87
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:46,393
Yes, I'd like to do my taxes.

88
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,229
- How much does H charge?
- $59.

89
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:51,098
Hmm. How much does R charge?

90
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:52,899
$59.

91
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:56,837
Does R know H has a side thing
going with M? H&M?

92
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:58,572
I don't know what
you're talking about.

93
00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,507
Is H back from lunch yet?

94
00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:03,043
Sorry. He said he was held up
with a client.

95
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:06,313
You were with M again,
weren't you?!

96
00:04:06,379 --> 00:04:07,781
What? No, I wasn't.

97
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:09,983
Then why are you wearing
a designer‐looking shirt

98
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:11,485
at a fraction of the cost?

99
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:13,320
Maybe I <i>wanted</i> to get caught.

100
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:16,223
I told you what I'd do
if I ever caught you cheating.

101
00:04:16,289 --> 00:04:18,391
This is on you!

102
