Peter, I just hit a pothole in the road and got a flat.
The man who helped us gave her his card.
I'd keep an eye on that.
This town is falling apart.
Last week the bridge over the collapsed bridge collapsed.
Well, you're a middle-aged woman with no job.
Maybe you should get really worked up about it.
You know what? I think I will.
I'm going down to city hall to complain.
This town needs a mayor.
Y-You forgot your baby. Miss?
Thank you all for coming over to help us find
the best candidate for mayor.
This room is so diverse, so I'm assuming
many of you have agendas.
But let's keep in mind we need a mayor who will represent
all of Quahog and not just satisfy
your weird little fringe issues,
which are important, but not very important.
As a descendent of Quahog's Puritan forefathers,
I think we should be able to throw a woman into a pond
to see if she's a witch.
That seems a bit extreme, don't you think?
That's exactly what a witch would say.
Lois, you're making this harder than it needs to be.
Just get a former Batman and move on.
I'm sure Val Kilmer could use the insurance.
Peter, we're not going to get a former Batman.
That has been pitched every day since Adam West died
and the response has been tepid at best.
We need someone with fresh ideas.
Someone who knows the issues.
Well, if you're looking for someone with issues,
I think you've found your candidate.
(laughs)
(Stewie laughs)
I had to go to bed early because it's a grown-up party,
but Mom said if I was quiet,
I could listen from the top of the stairs.
You know, I think you might be a really good candidate.
You know the town, you're smart
and you clearly have nothing better to do.
So all in favor of the librarian running for mayor say aye.
-ALL: Aye. -What about ALF?
Let's toast our new mayor...
um, I'm sorry, I don't even know your name.
Elle. Elle Hitler.
(laughs) No relation.
Elle Hitler? Eh.
Let's all say hi to Elle Hitler.
-Hi, Elle Hitler. Yay!
I can't believe Lois wants the librarian to be mayor.
I mean, Mayor West was a legend,
and now they're gonna replace him
with some third-tier character with a joke name?
-That's Chinatown, Peter. -What?
I said, "That's Chinatown." It's from the movie Chinatown.
It means, like, "What are you gonna do? That's Chinatown."
Joe, did you finally get Netflix?
I did. And I just watched Chinatown.
It's kind of gross.
Quahog deserves a cool mayor, like Mayor West was.
But there's no one cooler than Adam West.
If only he had had a offspring.
Speaking of offspring, Faye Dunaway slept with her dad
in Chinatown and then had his baby.
Guys, that movie really messed me up.
Wait a second, Mayor West didn't have any kids,
but he did have a cousin, Wild West.
You guys don't know Wild West?
No. And please don't diminish us
for not knowing the same things you know.
You know how to land an airplane?
No, you don't. Asswipe.
I'm sorry. I see you, Quagmire.
-I do. -Thank you.
Wild West is a legendary cowboy and a spokesman
for everything manly. Look.

My name is Peter Griffin and I'm from Quahog, Rhode Island,
where your cousin Adam West was our mayor for many years.
And since he's gone to a better place...
-Duluth? -I was thinking heaven, but okay, sure.
Beautiful country, Duluth.
The air moves into your nostrils like a welcome guest.
God, that's awesome.
Anyway, I thought you would be the perfect person

Peter, have you ever killed a man?
Reddit says I've killed 39, but that seems low.
-Why do you ask? -Just making conversation.
Look, I know it's a lot to ask, but Quahog needs you.
You're the perfect person to lead us through

Peter, what the hell is wrong with you?
You don't know anything about politics.
Well, you don't know anything
about landing a airplane, asswipe.
Besides, Wild West would make a great mayor.
He's a man...
What does that have to do with anything?
Because this is America, Lois.
Men have always run things and there have never been
any problems whatsoever.
And don't say the economy or Iraq or income inequality
or racism or Brett Kavanaugh or air pollution or Vietnam
or slavery or Watergate or capitalism
or #MeToo or homelessness or police brutality
or homophobia or Monica Lewinsky or school shootings
or Native American genocide or Fox News
or Tim Allen or climate change.
(sighs) You make a good point.
But I still think more women should be in positions of power,
and I'm gonna work my butt off to make sure the librarian
becomes our next mayor.
And I'm gonna prove that Wild West is the better choice.
I've already made my first campaign poster.
I always start too big.
Afternoon, citizen.
My name's Wild West and I'm running for mayor.
-What might your name be? -Bruce.
Pleasure, Bruce. If'n you don't mind,
I'd like to roll up your garden hose for you, the right way.
-Oh, okay. -You see, Bruce,
every hose has a memory.
And you just got to tap into that memory.
You see this kink here?
I, uh... (gulps) I do see that kink.
Well, a hose is very desirous of its original shape,
and if you know how to work those kinks,
it should straighten itself right out.
(moans) Oh, merciful heavens.
(sighs)
If you need some help on your campaign,
I'm very experienced at taking polls.
Wild West, this is my daughter Meg.
She also has a mustache.
I can see that. Nice to meet you, Meg.
Wow, you've got a great voice.
Would you record my outgoing voice-mail message?
Ah, I'd be happy to.
And could you make it sound like one of your truck commercials?
If you're looking for something rugged, something durable,
something with an endless supply of gas

Peter, I don't even know why you're bothering

-Please? Please? -Of course you can.
(babbles excitedly)
-(chirping) -(laughs)
Peter said something about me really sticks in your craw.
(chuckles) Let's not make this sexy, okay?
I just don't think it's fair for you to breeze into town
with your rugged good looks and voice of the gods
and assume you should be mayor.
Especially when you're taking an opportunity away
from a very deserving woman.
That's a fair point, Lois.
Do you mind if I make you a sweater while I respond?
(exhales) Uh, no.
No, that would be fine.
Lois, I moved my whole family to Oregon when I was 13,
and it taught me that a town is like a horse.
You don't choose it.
-(bleats) -It chooses you.
And I believe Quahog has chosen me,
just like it chose my cousin Adam.
Now, the last thing I want to do is take something from a woman.
There's nothing I respect more than women.
(giggles) Is that so?
Yes'm. I've raised 16 daughters
into strong, independent women,
I'm a registered doula,
and I always order edamame for the table.
(sighing): Oh, my God. Oh. Huh.
So, y-you're all alone... up here?
With no one to...
touch your sweaty biceps?
Huh?
A man's never alone, Lois,
so long as he has his principles.
(shuddering): H-H-Holy thundering Lord.
Lois, can we keep it? I'll take care of it, I promise.
-(chomps) -Aah!
Ow! He bit me!
I don't like it now.

Peter, do you wanna maybe do some role-playing?
Okay. I'll be Quentin Tarantino,
and you be the foot I make a mess on.
No, actually, I-I was thinking
that maybe you could pretend to be a cowboy.
Okay.

LOIS: Uh, make your voice deeper.
-PETER (deeper): Oh, Lois... -Deeper!
PETER (very deep): Oh, Lois.
LOIS: Good.
Now say, "Beef: it's what's for dinner."
-PETER: I-I don't... -Say it! -(loud slap)
-PETER (very deep): Beef... -Oh, yes.
-it's what's for dinner. -(laughs): Oh, yes!
Oh, Wild West, Wild West.
PETER: What?!
Peter, what the hell are you wearing?
I went a different direction, cowboy-wise,
but don't change the subject!
(paint can rattles)
-Peter, what are you doing? -I've decided that Wild West
is the worst possible person to be mayor,
and I'm gonna do whatever I can to stop him.
O-Okay, is this because I called out his name twice during sex
and once while I was peeing after?
-That's part of it, yes. -I'm sorry, Peter, it just slipped out.
Well, I'm sorry I'm the length of a Mike and Ike!
In your dreams.
(takes deep breath)
That one stung, Lois.
(takes deep breath)
Ooh, that one stung.
All right, I'm on your side now.
And if you're gonna beat Wild West,
you have to recognize that one of his greatest strengths
is his voice, which makes him sound sexy and smart
and sexy and sexy.
Where your voice sounds like your dad's second wife
trying to describe something she saw on Facebook.
Oh, speaking of,
do you know what a meme is?
What... Course I do.
And it's pronounced "me-me."
Well, the other day, I saw one
with the most adorable kitten
tangled in a ball of yarn.
(laughing)
And underneath...
underneath, it said: "(bleep) the police."
(laughing)
Okay, that was unexpected, so I'm gonna ignore it
and bring in Morgan Freeman, who I've hired
to narrate your commercials.
We're gonna fight voice with voice.
Wild West claims to know what's best for Quahog,
but there's a better choice.
And I know about choice.
I chose to be in Ted 2.
Nobody made me.
I wasn't forced at gunpoint.
I relied on my advisors, and they let me down.
"They'll fix the script," they said.
Well, they were wrong.
I thought I'd get to act with a talking teddy bear,
but when I got there,
it was just two ping-pong balls on a stick.
Or maybe that was Amanda Seyfried.
I don't know.
Okay, thank-thank you. Thank you, Morgan. Thank you.
Peter, just let me speak to the voters
about the issues they're concerned about.
Or, instead of doing that stupid thing,
we could sabotage Wild West's campaign.
Come on, you can drive.
Big Garfield fan, huh?
Me, too.
-Not this big. -You know, a lot of people
think I'm obsessed, but I think I'm pretty nermal.

Okay, you reeled me back in.
