• Archie Bunker : That's what I keep telling my big, dumb Pollack son in-law.

  Sgt. Paul Pulaski : Big, dumb what?

  Archie Bunker : [Smiling for emphasis]  Pollack.

• [after watching kids dance to Jesus Christ Superstar] 

  Archie Bunker : The Lord wants you to come to him on your knees, not wigglin' and jigglin' 'til your parts fall off.

• Edith Bunker : I don't know why you're so upset, Archie. I remember when you used to picket.

  Archie Bunker : That was different, Edith. I was walking the picket line for my union. I wasn't out screaming in the street and blockin' traffic. When we picketed, we done it the American way, on the sidewalks, dressed nice, walking up and down with our signs. Peaceful, no violence.

  Edith Bunker : Except when somebody crossed the line, then you broke his head.

  Archie Bunker : It's the only way to teach a scab a lesson. That was not violence, Edith, that was education.

• Mike Stivic : I hope you don't mind if I eat fast, Ma, I don't want to be late with the signs!

  Archie Bunker : What happens if you're late - you have to bring a note to your commisar?

• Archie Bunker : Wait a minute, Lionel, you have a cousin who's a cop? I never heard about that.

  Lionel Jefferson : Yeah, well he's the white sheep of the family.
