Edith: Oh no, Archie, I can't leave. They said I was the life of the party! Archie: This party don't deserve to live.
Joe: (making a toast) Here's to the very best years of my life, spent in the arms of another man's wife - my mother.
Joe: Care for someone to talk to? Edith: No, thank you. Joe: Why not? Edith: I'm married. Joe: That's okay. I'm married, too. That's why I need somebody to talk to.
Edith: I'm goin' where the action is.
Archie: (to Mike and Gloria, who are being all sickeningly sweet) Why don't the two of you jump hand-in-hand into Lake Pollack?
Gloria: Ma's bored. Archie: What are you talkin' about, "bored"? She ain't bored. That look that she's got there is the normal look of anybody who's mind is stuck in neutral.
Gloria: How was the park, Daddy? Archie: That park is a disgrace. The only person in that park who was drinking out of a bottle that wasn't in a paper bag was Joey.
