• Archie : [Archie is explaining to Lionel why blacks shouldn't move into the neighborhood]  They ain't gonna be happy here. What are they gonna do? What are they gonna do for recreation? There ain't a crap game or a pool hall in the whole neighborhood. There ain't a chicken shack or a rib joint within miles.

  Lionel Jefferson : No ribs? Lawd All Mighty, what is we gonna do?

• Lionel Jefferson : [Feigning shock upon learning blacks bought the Bowman house]  Does Mike know about this?

  Archie : Yeah, he knows about it. All he can say is twelve percent of the neighborhood oughta be black.

  Lionel Jefferson : Twelve percent? Oh, no, if you follow that thinking, 88% of the Harlem Globetrotters oughta be white!
