S2 E4Edith Writes a Song
I'm telling you, Edith, we're living in a jungle. That's what, a jungle. But you know what I got?
Mike: Malaria.
When it comes to defense, democracy's gonna have to wait.
I ain't no bigot. I'm the first guy to say, "It ain't your fault that youse are colored."
CCoke
What do we have here? Cash!
Edith: You can't have it!
Coke: I beg your pardon? Who's the crook here?
ESEdith's Song
Everyone is someone, if you love them
Love can make a hero from a chump
Love can make a useless man seem useful
Love can grow a flower from a dump
If you dare to reach out to a stranger
You may find you've found a friend indeed
'Cause everyone is someone if you love them
'Cause love is something everybody needs.

S2 E6Edith's Accident
all I've been hearing about is cling peaches, which is comin' out of my ears! Now don't say them two words no more! Now, how did you hit a car?
Edith: Well, that's where the... mmm-MMMM-mmm came in... You told me never to say them two words. (Continuing) You see, I was coming out of the supermarket with my basket full of mmm-MMMM-mmm. And there was Mrs. Duncan with her new baby. I took a peek in the carriage, but I couldn't see the baby too well, he was all...
Archie: Will you get on with the story?
Edith: Well, I knew I had to say something nice about the baby, so I went "Oh! Isn't that a beautiful baby!" And when I went "Oh!", the shopping basket got away from me, rolled down the hill and smashed into this parked car and scratched the fender. And then, this can of mmm-MMMM-mmm... in heavy syrup... jumped out and made a big dent in the hood!
(pause)
Edith: It was a freak accident!

We got a religious oil burner: It don't work Sundays.
This house is constructed way better than most of the new ones you see around today.

I ain't gonna sell (the house).
Mr. Byrd: Oh? Did something happen to color your decision?

MMike
Oh, I've decided it's too tough for me, Gloria. I'm going to quit college and get a job.

I'm going down to Kelcy's saloon... where the only problem is closing time!
S2 E9The Insurance Is Cancelled
