Quotes 

• Peggy Bundy : Al, don't you think you're carrying this thing a little too far?

  Al Bundy : [as the Godfather]  Never ask me about my business, Peg.

• Kelly Bundy : Mom, Dad, I am in love.

  [Al and Peggy shrug] 

  Kelly Bundy : He is the greatest guy that I have ever met.

  Peggy Bundy : Oh, right. That's why you're home at 9:00.

  Kelly Bundy : Well, he likes to get me home because he's a gentleman. And he cares about me because I am a nice girl.

  [Al and Peggy laughs] 

  Al Bundy : Kelly, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that... we don't believe in love.

  Peggy Bundy : That's why our marriage works.

• Peggy Bundy : [to Kelly]  Oh, but, honey, maybe love will work for you.

  [Al and Peggy snickers] 

  Peggy Bundy : Go ahead, tell us all about him.

  Kelly Bundy : Well, there isn't really much to tell.

  [Bud comes downstairs] 

  Bud Bundy : A-A-A-Ahem, a-a-ahem, a-a-ahem. Once again, my dear sister is prone to understatement. But if you want this reporter's opinion, I shall now open the bidding at, uh, $10.

  Kelly Bundy : Shut up, Bud. He's not that old.

  [Al and Peggy both give Bud $10] 

  Peggy Bundy : Okay, spill your guts.

  Bud Bundy : He's 41.

  [Al and Peggy stare at Kelly] 

  Peggy Bundy : You are dating a man old enough to be my father?

  Al Bundy : Peg, she's not dating Lincoln.

• Al Bundy : [on the phone]  Now, look, I've been on hold for three hours, listening to the Muzak version of "Muskrat Love." Now, I voted for Mayor... McCheese or whatever his name is, and I will wait no longer. Now, I have a streetlight out and a pothole. Now I want you to put down your nail polish and sashay your fat, bureaucratic behind... That's right, your fat, bureaucratic behind into His Honor's office and you tell him that Al Bundy is on the... Hello?

  [hangs up and calls the operator] 

  Al Bundy : Hello, operator? This is Al Bundy. I would... HELLO?

  [hangs up] 

  Al Bundy : Am I truly nothing? Could the neighborhood children be right?

  [Peggy comes downstairs] 

  Peggy Bundy : Gee, what's the matter, honey?

  Al Bundy : Well, I called the mayor's office, and as soon as I told them I was Al Bundy...

  Peggy Bundy : [cuts Al off]  Where's the TV Guide?

• Al Bundy : Get used to living like this, babe. I'm telling ya, I was born for this. This is my decade. This is the Bundy decade.

  Peggy Bundy : [looks at the newspaper]  Uh, Al...

  Al Bundy : Shh! Quiet, Peg. I'm ruminating. I'm literally drunk with power.

  Peggy Bundy : [gives Al the newspaper]  Al...

  Al Bundy : Ah, life is good.

  [looks at the newspaper] 

  Al Bundy : But not for me. Look, Peg. More pictures on page three.

  [as Al opens up the newspaper, the front page shows a picture of Kelly and Harry and the headline reads "FLOOZY BRINGS DOWN GOVERNMENT. Married Alderman Caught With Teenage Bimbo"] 

• [after Kelly leaves] 

  Al Bundy : Peg, I spent everything we got on this stuff here. What am I gonna do?

  Peggy Bundy : Well, you could lead the Failure Pride Parade atop a float of Meter Maid shoes. Or is that getting into your business?

  Al Bundy : White crosses, sunlight... nothing works on you anymore, does it? But I tell you, there are other forces at work here. Other dark, evil things. If I had my wish, it would be to get my hands on the foul, loathsome demon that took those pictures and caused the downfall of the Bundy family.
