- Quotes
Archie Bunker: [discussing their bedroom problems] Ain't I always there? When you're in the mood?
Edith Bunker: Yeah, Archie, and even when I ain't.
Archie Bunker: Even when you ain't, how lucky can you get?
Edith Bunker: I know. I was always lucky about that.
Archie Bunker: Certainly you was always lucky about that.
Edith Bunker: Even before we was married.
Archie Bunker: Who'd you get lucky with before we was married?
Edith Bunker: No, Archie, I didn't mean that. I mean that before we was married I had a long talk with my mother, see?
[Archie visibly cringes]
Edith Bunker: And she said to me that there was one thing about marriage that I wasn't gonna like, but it was a wife's duty, and I thought she was talking about doing the laundry, cause that's the only part about marriage that wasn't no fun.
Archie Bunker: Is this gonna be long, Edith?
Edith Bunker: No. So when I got pregnant...
Archie Bunker: Not a nice word, not a nice word.
Edith Bunker: When I got 'in the family way' with Gloria...
Archie Bunker: Better, better, better, yeah.
Edith Bunker: My mother said to me 'I see you're doing your duty as a wife', and I knew what she meant! And I didn't have the heart to tell her
[grins, blushes]
Edith Bunker: that I liked it.
Archie Bunker: [stunned] But you should have told the old lady that! I mean maybe she would've given me some kind of respect.
