But the thing is, I'm not really a stick-to-you, make-it-last, 'let's go to Pottery Barn and pick out lamps' kind of girl. I like not having to check in with people. I'm better doing my own thing.

Quagmire (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) warns his co-pilot that his bowels are in a big time rush
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY
