Paul : [when the Bunker house is defaced by mistake, Mike and a radical Jewish defender disagree about how to respond] I don't agree with what you say, but I like your chutzpah. Y'know somethin'? One of these days you're gonna find out that this is the only answer.
Paul : [he forms Mike's hand into a fist] Right there.
Mike Stivic : I still think you're wrong. Because this...
Mike Stivic : [He makes his other hand into a fist] ... only gets you this.
Paul : OK, friend. You keep talkin', and I'll do what I have to do. Shalom.
[he leaves]
Edith Bunker : Shalom. What does that mean?
Mike Stivic : Believe it or not, Ma, it means 'Peace'.
Gloria Stivic : Jewish people also use it to say 'Hello' or 'Goodbye'.
Edith Bunker : How do you know which one they mean?
Archie Bunker : Why don't you use your common sense, Edith? If a Jew is comin' at you, it means 'Hello'. If he's goin' the other way, it means 'Goodbye'.
Edith Bunker : [sincerely trying to understand] But when does it mean 'Peace'?
Archie Bunker : Ahhh, Edith, in between 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'.
