A couple of Mikes friends need a place to stay for one night before their trip to Europe.

Mike invited Paul, the best man from his and Gloria's wedding, to spend the night at the Bunkers for one night since Paul needed a place to stay before he goes to Europe. But, now Paul is a hippie and he also brings his old lady, Robin. The two hippies aren't married and so Archie says no way that they are staying under his roof. Pauls friend Jeff, another hippie, shows up to take Paul. But, then can't when he see's Robin there. Paul says that they're is no way a unmarried couple would be able to sleep at his father home. Mike and Gloria end up taking Paul and Robin to the airport, which ends up solving the problem. This isn't one of the best episodes of All in the Family. It still has alot of funny moments. Jeff's few lines to Archie were a riot. I gave this episode 8.4 which is a average (maybe a little below average) episode for All in the family.moreless

TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: When Edith shows Mike and Gloria what is supposedly a group photo, she mentions that it includes the shoulder of a celebrity, but when she briefly flips the photo around so it faces that audience, one can clearly see that it is a head shot of a single person.
  EDIT SHARE
- According to the book Archie & Edith, Mike & Gloria: The Tumultuous History of "All in the Family" by Donna McCrohan, the original title of this episode was "Now That You Know the Way, Let's Be Strangers."
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike did have a best man. In fact, it does look like the same actor who played Paul after becoming a hippie, only cleaned up.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the second last scene, a boom mic is visible in the top left hand corner of your screen.

- Archie: Well in the words of Harry S. Truman, "If it's too hot in the kitchen, stay away from the cook."
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike: You can't even say the word "sex." Archie: Sure I can say that word; there's mixed company, and I don't like to use four-letter words in front of women!
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike: You know, you are totally incomprehensible. Archie: Yeah, but I make a lot of sense.

  EDIT SHARE
- Gloria: Daddy, Paul is not a weirdo, and besides, you used to like him. Archie: Yes, I liked him when he was a nice, clean engineerin' student. He used to dream about building bridges and banks. Now he looks like someone who wants to blow'em up.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike: I happen to be very proud of my Polish heritage. Archie: What heritage? You came from a long line of bowling teams. Mike: And you came from a long line of boneheads! Archie: WHAT?! Mike: You think with your mind closed! Archie: You eat with your mouth open! Mike: You know, you are totally incomprehensible. Archie: Maybe so, but I make a lot of sense!

ADD NOTES
- One of the few times Mike and Archie are briefly both on the same side, as Mike and Gloria become increasingly annoyed at Mike's friends' excuses for not accepting Archie's offer of paying for a motel for them to stay in overnight.
