- Archie Bunker: The last blackout was plenty bad. Don't you remember what they did? They was riotin', they was burnin', they was lootin', they was runnin' wild in the streets.
- Gloria Bunker-Stivic: They they they, who's all this they you're talkin' about.
- Archie Bunker: They? There's them that can't be seen whilst the blackout is on.
- Archie Bunker: Go down to the drugstore tomorrow there. Buy yourself one of them transvestor radios there.
- Gloria Bunker-Stivic: What did he say?
- Michael 'Meathead' Stivic: Well, among other things, he said he wanted to burn a cross on our front lawn.
- Gloria Bunker-Stivic: Oh Michael, that's scary.
- Michael 'Meathead' Stivic: Honey Honey Honey, we have nothing to worry about.
- Gloria Bunker-Stivic: Why?
- Michael 'Meathead' Stivic: Well, for one thing, we don't have a front lawn.
- Mitch Turner: Would Bunker go along with us in burning a cross on Stivic's lawn?
- Gordie Lloyd: No, I don't think he'd do that.
- Mitch Turner: Why not?
- Gordie Lloyd: Because Stivic lives right next door to him. If Stivic lived up in the Bronx, I bet he'd do it.
- Charley: Do you believe in white supremacy?
- Archie Bunker: I certainly do, except in boxing, baseball, and basketball.
- Mitch Turner: The views expressed in this letter, do you adhere to them?
- Archie Bunker: I don't like nothin' I'd hear from him, but I can't shut him up.
- Mitch Turner: Haven't you ever tried to use your authority as titular head of the house to straighten him out?
- Archie Bunker: Uh, the titular head? That's the mother, ain't it?
- Mitch Turner: Would you join us in a little reprimand?
- Archie Bunker: Yeah sure, I ain't drivin', anything you wanna serve.
