Edith: Oh, yeah. V-D day.
Edith Bunker: What are you fighting about?
Mike Stivic: The Star-Spangled Banner.
Edith Bunker: Did the singer forget the words again?
Archie Bunker: You gotta grab the bull by the corns.
Edith Bunker: I'm home. I'm home, Archie.
Archie Bunker: Are you sure?
Archie Bunker: What she done was wrong and she gotta be punished. For the next two weeks, no out after school. No out at all. If you find yourself having fun at something, stop it. And no delicious foods for three weeks. You only gotta eat the terrible foods that are good for you. And then no TV for a week. And the next week, and this is gonna be tougher: educational TV only.
Mike Stivic: You know, you are totally incomprehensible.
Archie Bunker: Maybe so, but I make a lot of sense.
Archie Bunker: Silence is golden, so stifle thy self.
Gloria: Oh, Daddy. You'd put ketchup on a doughnut.
Archie Bunker: If it needed it.
Mike Stivic: Archie, if there is a God, how come there's so much unhappiness in the world?
Archie Bunker: If there is a God how come there's so much unhappiness in the world? Uh... uh... hey, Edith... If there is a God, how come there's so much unhappiness in the world?
Archie: Whatever happened to the good old days when kids was scared to death of their parents?
Mike Stivic: What were you saying about colored families having no love?
Archie Bunker: Why is it you can remember everything except how to work?
Archie Bunker: A man should always listen to his wife.
Edith Bunker: Archie, I.
Archie Bunker: Dummy up.
Edith: Why don't you go out and finish dinner.
Mike Stivic: Nah, I ain't hungry.
Edith: Ya can't depend on nothing no more.
Archie: God created the universe in seven days.
Edith: Six days. On the seventh day he rested.
Archie: Well only for a while then He looked over what He done.
Archie: You go off and leave me here with nobody home.
Edith: Mike was here.
Archie: Like I said, nobody was home.
Archie Bunker: Go out and get me a beer.
Edith: Can or bottle?
Archie: We never buy bottles.
Gloria Stivic: Daddy, what I don't understand is how can the Duke be alive if he threw himself on a grenade?
Archie Bunker: 'Cause it was an Italian grenade. It was a dud like everything else them Pasta-Fazoos made.
Answer: Yes, Gloria and Michael have friends, but when they got married they decided it was best to live *rent free* with Edith and Archie, while Mike was going to college. Living with friends rent free, for quite a few years, is not an easy thing no matter how close the friends are with them. Since the Stivics needed their money to pay for the tuition and its other costs, their living arrangement made it all easier to deal with. Hence the Archie and Mike scenarios.
