• Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Why do you always have to talk stupid?

  Archie Bunker : To make you understand!

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Funny.

  Archie Bunker : Let me ask you this, how come you're never on my side even when a guy holds me up?

  Edith Bunker : Archie, if they catch that boy, will you have to take off work and go to court for his trial?

  Archie Bunker : Certainly I will, sure I will. I'll lose a day's pay but it's worth it to see that piece of filth thrown into the jug!

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Hey, hey, wait a second Arch. You're talking about a human being.

  Archie Bunker : I'm talking about a creep!

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : All right, I agree, he should be punished for what he did. But you don't go around calling people pieces of filth.

  Archie Bunker : How about "piece of creep"?

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : There you go talking stupid again.

  Archie Bunker : There you go understanding me again!

• Archie Bunker : Punk stick-up guys, they never kill a guy that knows how to handle himself.

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : How do you handle yourself?

  Archie Bunker : Give him the money before he kills you.

• Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : I knew it! I knew it! Tom Ferrell paid you to keep quiet.

  Archie Bunker : What's the matter with that? Ain't you never heard, silence is gold?
