Marion Cunningham : Good morning, Richard. Would you like cornflakes for breakfast, dear?
Richie Cunningham : [through clenched teeth] I never want cornflakes again. Oatmeal!
Marion Cunningham : Oh. Well, I thought you liked cornflakes.
Richie Cunningham : [slaps the table] Oatmeal!
Marion Cunningham : I'll make oatmeal!
Howard Cunningham : What kind of a way is that to talk to your mother?
Richie Cunningham : Oh, I'm sorry, Mom. Cornflakes are OK. You see, I was just trying out some advice that Fonzie gave me. He said if you sound tough, people listen. And it works!

Richie Cunningham : Let's face it -- you're a good fighter.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Hey, I'm the best. But in the entire time you've known me, have you ever seen me in a fight?
Richie Cunningham : Well, no, but that's because the other guy always backs down first.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : I rest my case.

Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Hey, lemme tell you somethin'. Everybody gets scared. If you're gonna survive in this world, you just can't show it all the time, that's all.
Richie Cunningham : Yeah, but you never get scared.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : I know. That's why I'm the Fonz.

Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : [Richie fails to intimidate Frankie and make him back down] I gotta tell you something, Cunningham. I left out one very small detail.
Richie Cunningham : Tell me quick.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : You got no reputation for toughness. Once in your life, you had to have hit somebody.
Richie Cunningham : That's not a good detail to leave out, Fonz!
