Archie Bunker : [Archie tells Mike he won't be calling his new grandson a Polack] I ain't gonna hurt his little feelings with things like that. Let me tell you somethin'. Anybody that makes a Polack crack to my grandson gets a shot in the mush from me. I hate people that are always callin' other people names. Now, your Irish Micks, your Irish Micks are very big on that, with all their jokes, see. And the Mafia, now the Mafia, they're the ones that started the Polack jokes to take the heat off-a the Dagos. So I don't want no more of your racial jokes around here, because I can't stand people who are always knockin' minor-orities.

Archie Bunker : [explaining to Mike that women's pain in childbirth is God's will] He said that in the Garden of Eden, when he told Eve not to eat the apple, but she et it anyhow, and the snake was there and he rattled on her. And then God ever after punished women by givin' em your, what you call, your labor pains.
Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : First God tells women to be fruitful and multiply, then when they do, he makes 'em suffer. That doesn't make any sense.
Archie Bunker : [irritated] It ain't supposed to make sense. It's faith, faith, don't you know that? Faith is somethin' that you believe, that nobody in his right mind would believe in.
