“Lionel Steps Out” · Season 3
In this episode: Henry (2), Archie Bunker (1), Gloria Stivic (1), Lionel Jefferson (1)
Was your father strict with you, I mean, on who you went out with?
Edith: Oh, yeah. The boy had to be kind, and thoughtful, and a gentleman.
Mike: How did Archie ever pass that test?
Edith: Well, Dad died a year before I met Archie.
Gloria Ma, when you say kind and thoughtful and a gentleman, you're describing Lionel.

Mike: He'd have given us rhythm, too.

(to Archie) If you don't learn to keep your mouth shut, we ain't never gonna get rid of the pollution!
