Ralph Kramden: There isn't room in this place for you and me! Mrs. Gibson: There isn't room in this place for you and anybody!
Ed Norton: [reading from book about golf] 'The golf swing: First, step up, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and address the ball.' Ralph: Wait a minute. What do they mean by 'address the ball'? Ed Norton: How should I know? That's what it says here. Ralph: Well, read a little further. Maybe it…
Now I know why people play golf! It's not 'cause they like this game! It's just to get away from their wives! That's why they play!
Ralph Kramden: We spend $200, we make $2000 and the profit is 1800. We can't lose. Ed Norton: Can't lose, huh? That's what you said when you bought the parking lot next to where they were building up the movie house there. You said, 'People going to the movies got to have a place to park their car.'…
Ralph Kramden: Two thousand dollars, Alice! That's big, big, big! This is probably the biggest thing I ever got into. Alice Kramden: The biggest thing you ever got into was your pants.
Dear Mom, I just thought I'd write and tell you this. A mother-in-law is the most criticized, the most misunderstood and the most defenseless of all women. The average woman must be clever enough to know when to speak, but a mother-in-law must know when to keep silent. She must be very wise; wise…
Ralph Kramden: Name one thing that could possibly be worse than my mother-in-law coming. Ed Norton: My mother-in-law coming!

Ralph Kramden: Nobody's one hundred percent, Alice. Alice Kramden: You are. You've been wrong every time!
Acting young ain't what keeps you young, but if you have some memories—some good memories—of when you were young, that's what keeps you young.
Ralph: [to Norton] Hey, what does 'icky' mean? Ed Norton: I don't know, why? Ralph: Alice just said I was icky. Ed Norton: Must mean 'fat.'
Ralph: From here on in, we are deadly enemies. I don't want to see ya, I don't want to talk to ya, I don't want to have nothing to do with ya. If you see me coming down the street, get on the other side! Norton: When you come down the street, there AIN'T no other side!
Ralph: What's the matter? Aren't you up on current events? Don't you read the papers? Don't you read comic books? That's the trouble with you; you don't know the latest developments. Alice: I don't know the latest developments? Who is it that lets your pants out every other day?
[speaking to a recorder an apology to Alice] Hello, Alice. This is me, Ralph. Alice, I'm sorry. I'm miserable without ya. Please come back to me, Alice. I apologize for everything I've said. I even apologize to your mother. I know she doesn't mean the things she says, Alice, it's just her nature.…
