[S11E10] Brian's Play

Brian writes a play, entitled A Passing Fancy, which is a hit in Quahog. Just as he lets his success go to his head, Stewie asks him to read a play he has written. Brian humors him and reads the play after a night of drinking and philosophical discussion with aspiring writers, but he realizes Stewie's play, entitled An American Marriage, is much better than his. His confidence shaken, Brian tells Stewie the play is bad and attempts to destroy the script, but Stewie finds it buried in the yard. Angered, he reveals that he knew Brian's work was inferior because it was easy for even Chris and Peter to follow the plot of A Passing Fancy. Stewie claims that he has a creative voice when it comes to writing, while Brian uses overdone clichés and blatant plagiarism. This makes Brian emotionally fall apart and chase and kill a squirrel.

As Brian sinks into depression, Stewie says that his play is Broadway-bound and demands Brian escort him around New York. At a party for playwrights, Brian tries to ingratiate himself with big-name writers, but they mention that they have seen his play and pronounce it the worst piece of writing they have ever seen. Outside, Stewie finds Brian even further depressed, and Brian admits he knew Stewie's writing was better but had hoped that he could have at least had a chance to be the good writer in the family before he dies far sooner than the rest of them. Stewie says that Brian is speaking with his own voice and he should write from his heart and mind.

At the opening of Stewie's play, the crowd leaves unhappy, and Brian is confused as to why Stewie changed it. Stewie claims that he just wanted to "tweak" it a bit, though he really wanted to make Brian happy again by sabotaging his own play. As they leave the theater, Stewie admires New York and professes a desire to live there one day until they are snatched by a pterodactyl.
