"Good Times" A Matter of Mothers (TV Episode 1979) - Chip Fields as Linella Gordon

Mrs. Gordon : [to Willona about Penny] Didn't you see the look in that kid's eyes? She wants to come home with me, it's all those expensive gifts, the tape recorder and the $2500 brass bed. What could you possibly offer to top that?

Willona Woods : Love. And you?

Mrs. Gordon : I'm here, aren't I?

Willona Woods : So's the garbage. It don't make no difference.
Mrs. Gordon : [to Willona about Penny] She is not your daughter.

Willona Woods : She is too my daughter.

Millicent 'Penny' Woods : Mama?

Willona Woods : [along with Mrs. Gordon] Yes? What?
Willona Woods : [to Mrs. Gordon] You know this proves that money can buy almost everything: lies, deceit, deception. Look, you get your actor and your props out of here before I break your neck.

Mrs. Gordon : You're not serious.

Willona Woods : Oh, yes I am. Serious as suicide.
Willona Woods : [to Mrs. Gordon] Your plan ain't going to work because I have too many people to back me up. People at my church, people where I work and people in this whole neighborhood.

Mrs. Gordon : And I have two policemen, pictures and a dozen witnesses who will swear you were throwing a wild party in the presence of a minor. Add an upscale lawyer to that and you tell me who the judge is going to believe.
