The Will to Resist

Gremlin Risitas — Part II: The Clam Encounter


[Scene opens inside The Drunken Clam. Peter, Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland are at their usual booth. Next to Peter is the Gremlin, chewing on a coaster like it’s beef jerky.]

Quagmire: “So, uh, Peter, what’s with the… little guy?”

Peter: “Heh-heh, Lois said I needed better friends, so I brought him. Meet the Gremlin. He stopped a loan shark today by barking into a phone. That’s freakin’ sweet.”

[Gremlin laughs like El Risitas, then immediately sticks a straw in the salt shaker and drinks it like a Capri Sun.]

Joe: “Peter, you can’t just… bring a raccoon-man into a bar.”

Cleveland: “Mm, I dunno, Joe. He kinda fits in better than Quagmire.”

Quagmire: “Oh, come on!”

[Quagmire leans in to flirt with the waitress. Gremlin interrupts by loudly repeating everything Quagmire says, but dumber.]

Quagmire: “Hey there, doll, how about a drink after this?”

Gremlin: “Hey there, doll, how about a drink after this?” (crosses eyes, knocks over a peanut bowl)

[Everyone laughs. Quagmire fumes.]

Quagmire: “Okay, very funny, Peter. What else can your little circus pet do?”

[Gremlin pulls out Peter’s phone, dials Public Loan Search, then immediately screams “NO REFUNDS!” into the receiver and hangs up.]

Peter: slapping his knee “HAHAHA! Oh man, Lois was right. He’s like me… but turbo.”

[Gremlin and Peter collapse in laughter, Risitas-style. Camera zooms on Quagmire, red-faced and defeated, muttering “giggity” under his breath like a broken toy.]
