- Cleveland Brown: [sadly] I'm glad you're all here, please sit down.
- [the family is seated in front of Cleveland]
- Cleveland Brown: I'm not sure how to tell ya'll this, so I'm just gonna say it. The other night... Meadowlark Lemon was killed.
- Rallo Tubbs: WHAT?
- Roberta Tubbs: OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED?
- Cleveland Brown: Well, as I was backing out of the driveway to get the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, which all later enjoyed, veury much, I accidently drove over his head with both my left rear tire and then, my left front tire. Curious, I stepped out of my vehicle and saw his mangled lifeless body on the driveway, in a smeared pool of his own blood.
- Cleveland Brown: Ugg, and now the hard part. I had no idea in the hours that followed, Lester and his family would eat Meadowlark Lemon.
- [Family stare in surprise horror]
- Cleveland Brown: That's right they ate your dog.
- [in a more cheerful uplifted tone, meaning to change the subject]
- Cleveland Brown: Okay, so Rallo, go throw the dog food out, we have no use for it now. That'll make room for a new recycling bin the kitchen. Hooray, hooray for the Browns and Tubbses.
- Cleveland Brown: [to his buddy at the broken stool] So, all day, I was searching for a dog, that I know was dead. I don't know what to tell these kids.
- Lester Krinklesac: Hey if it had help, tell'em it was delicious.
- Cleveland Brown: WHAT?
- Lester Krinklesac: Tasted a lot like kittens.
- Cleveland Brown: YOU ATE THE DOG?
- Holt Richter: I ate a dog once, I think her name was Betsy. Met her tail gaining, arena football, season tickets. She had bacne, woke up, she was peeing in the corner of my room.
- Lester Krinklesac: Was she Chinese or Asian?
- Holt Richter: Partly, ugh know what she might have been Hawian.
- Cleveland Brown: [after successfully getting Roberta to be her date for the Daddy-Daughter dinner dance, off to get a Baskin Robin's ice cream cake]
- [to his rearview mirror reflection]
- Cleveland Brown: Hey new step-daddy, you are doing a great job. Now, go get that cake.
- [as Cleveland slowly backs out the car, his left rear tire hits something, stops for 3 seconds, back out again but now his left front tire hits the bump as well. Cleveland steps out of the car an looks at the ground on his left]
- Cleveland Brown: WHAT THE...
- [Find the corpse of Meadowlark Lemon, the family dog, lying dead at the spot where Cleveland hit him]
- Cleveland Brown: I'M SO SORRY MEADOWLARK LEMON!
- Lester Krinklesac: Why you'd kill the dog? Wouldn't stop barking, huh.
- Cleveland Brown: No Lester, it was an accident. We gotta keep this a secret, or the kids will hate me, forever.
- Lester Krinklesac: [Lifts dog leg and looks at its crutch] Since there's no sign of sexual abuse, I'll go ahead and get rid of him for ya.Since there's no sign of sexual abuse
- [drags the dog to his home by the leg]
- Lester Krinklesac: [as he walk through the door, to his wife] Kendra, hope you in the mood for Chinese food.
- Kendra Krinklesac: You read my stomach.
