EdithEdithI'm sorry, Archie. I ain't myself today.
Archie: That might be an improvement, Edith.
EdithEverybody has a little trouble seeing the words close-up after they pass a certain age.
Archie: I told you, it ain't age! It's the ink they use in the newspaper.
EdithI've needed glasses for years, and you're older than I am.
Archie: That's only because I was born first.
Edith(referring to Mavis Pike) She's a women's lib! It means she's not a "Mrs.", and she's not a "Ms." neither.
Archie: What does that make her, a near-Ms.?
Mavis: Edith, I was going to ask you if you've had an interesting life... but he saved me the trouble.
EdithI saw something about a watch like that on Mannix.
Archie: Yeah, what?
Edith: Or was it Let's Make A Deal?
Edith"Nothing" just came into my mind.
Archie: It must have felt right at home there.
EdithSo before you two start saying things to each other that you can never take back, stop. And think how much you really mean to each other.
EdithDo you think I'm something?
Archie: You, Edith, are something else.
EdithYou see, it all started this way—
Archie: All right, all right, Edith. I'll find out for myself. I'd like to get the story before the first of the month.
EdithHenry was saying the other day that there was no one he wanted to say "goodbye" to more than Archie.
EdithI don't want nobody to be dead.
Archie: Edith, somebody's gotta be dead; that's life.
EdithOut there, I told you why Archie gets mad at you. Don't you want to hear why he yells at you?
Mike: Ma, I know why he yells at me. He hates me.
Edith: Oh no, Mike, he doesn't hate you...Archie yells at you because he's jealous of you.
Mike:Ahh, I'm not listening to this.
Edith: Wait a minute, you WILL listen to me, Archie is jealous of you! Now that ain't hard to understand. Mike, you're going to college, and you've got your whole life ahead of you. Archie had to quit school to support his family; he ain't never gonna be anything more than he is right now. That's why Archie yells at you; he sees in you all the things that he's never gonna be. So, the next time Archie yells at you, try and be a little more understanding.
EdithCastor Oil cheered you up?
Archie: It'd be "cheered up", or get another dose.
EdithYou know, I think most marriages break up because people don't wait long enough to recognize each other again.
