Family Guy, Season 7

Carl:
Hey, Chris, you know what I just got? That box set of Lord of the Rings. It's awesome.

Chris:
Yeah! But you remember the giant eagle they rode in the first one that then rescues them at the end of the 3rd one?

Carl:
Yeah. Yeah.

Chris:
Yeah, why didn't they just fly the eagle to Mordor instead of spending 3 movies walking there?

Carl:
Well, that's not what it's about, Chris. It's about the quest.

Chris:
I'm not arguing that with you. I'm just saying there's a hole in the story.

Carl:
Did you like the movie?

Chris:
Well, that's not the point.

Carl:
Did you like the movie?

Chris:
Of course. I love the movie. But look. I'm no writer. But if a fat kid like me with one finger up his nose is bumped by it, you'd think someone would've caught it.

Carl:
So, you didn't like the eagle?

Chris:
No, I did. The eagle was majestic and beautiful, but sometimes you have to sacrifice spectacle for a coherent storyline.

Carl:
Oh. Have you ever seen Krull?

Chris:
No.

Carl:
Yeah, you don't need to see Krull.
