TV Quote of the Day (‘All in the Family,’ As Archie Relishes an Unfolding Practical Joke)


(Archie, long the butt of practical jokes at the hand of Pinky Peterson, mistakenly thinks his friend is falling for one Archie has planned for him: the revelation that the "woman" Archie has set him up with on a dinner date is a female impersonator.)

Edith Bunker (played by Jean Stapleton) [between sips of her drink at dinner, sotto voce to Archie]: “Don’t you think this has gone on long enough?”

Archie Bunker (played by Carroll O’Connor): [whispering]: “We’ll know when it’s gone on long enough.”

Edith: “When?”

Archie [gleefully]: “When Pink comes after me with a club.”— All in the Family, Season 7, Episode 8, “Beverly Rides Again,” original air date Nov. 6, 1976, teleplay by Phil Doran and Douglas Arango, directed by Paul Bogart
