Recently re-watched this episode, and that A+ was absolutely deserved. A perfect half hour of comedy.

"Families is where our nation finds hope. Where wings take dream."

Calvin Coolidge. At a press dinner someone said to the famously quiet president: "Mr. President, I have a bet that I can get you to say more than two words." Coolidge responded, "Fuck off."
