“The Games Bunkers Play” · Season 4
In this episode: Mike (2), Edith Bunker (1)
There's a storm at sea. The boat overturns, and your mother and I are drowning. Which one of us would you save? Just answer the question, which one of us would you save?
Gloria: That is NOT a fair question!
Mike: Why not?
Gloria: Because I can't swim!
But criticism is the whole point of this game! There's no fun without it!
Frank: Yeah. And so far, you've been a barrel of fun.
Out 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.
