Carroll O'Connor: Archie Bunker

Quotes 

• Archie Bunker : You know, inside the bank, in the upper part there, what they call the 'mezerine ' there?

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Yeah?

  Archie Bunker : All right. You put three sharp shooters right there in the mezerine. When a crook goes up to the teller's cage and takes out his gun, the three sharp shooters up there - they blast him.

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Arch, what if one of the sharp shooters accidentally hits a little old lady standin' behind the crook?

  Archie Bunker : So what? The other two sharp shooters ain't gonna miss the crook.

• Archie Bunker : I don't think I wanna go to work anyway. I think I'll stay home - maybe I'll use my time to, uh, clean and inspect my guns.

  Nick Howard : Oh, you're a gun collector Mr. Bunker?

  Archie Bunker : Well, I got a couple of souvenirs, uh, I took off the Krauts in the war. You know, WWII, the big one? I got a .45 caliber German 'Schmauser' there. And uh, over here I got a .38 caliber German 'Flugel' with a 'telephonic' sight. I shot a German colonel in the butt with that.
