Sally Struthers: Gloria Bunker-Stivic

Quotes 

• Gloria Bunker-Stivic : Ma, the best thing for a person to do when they're having a problem is to talk it over with the person they're having the problem with. Can't you talk to daddy?

  Edith Bunker : I can't talk to your father about it, he won't listen. I can't do it.

  Gloria Bunker-Stivic : You listen to me. If you can't talk to him about him about it, who can?

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : [cut to Mike in his house]  Not me!

• Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : I don't know what you want, I don't even know what the problem is.

  Gloria Bunker-Stivic : Well, neither do I.

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : Look, Gloria, just because Ma is reading a book about sex doesn't mean they're having a problem.

  Gloria Bunker-Stivic : Well they will if she starts taking advice from that trashy book. It tells wives to greet their husbands at the door wearing nothing but a garter belt and a dry martini.

  Michael 'Meathead' Stivic : [interested]  Where is this book?

• Gloria Bunker-Stivic : [after finding the book Edith's reading]  Ma, what are you doing with that book?

  Edith Bunker : Well, they was talking about it on the Dinah Shore show, and I figured if Dinah read it it's okay for me to read it cause she ain't even been married lately.

  Gloria Bunker-Stivic : Ma, I know all about this book. It's just trashy, it's full of all sorts of lies, and it gives you advice to do ridiculous, kinky thinks to make yourself more attractive to your husband, it's yucky!
