Quotes 

• George Jefferson : When you're running for office, you have to do a whole lotta things you don't believe in.

  Louise Jefferson : George, that's not exactly honest.

  George Jefferson : What's honesty got to do with politics?

• Archie Bunker : [after being handed George Jefferson's petition to run for office]  Let me look this thing over and see what we got here.

  George Jefferson : It ain't an IOU; just go ahead and sign it.

  Archie Bunker : Hold it, hold it, Jefferson. I don't go around signin' political documentaries just like that, y'know. I mean, even Abe Lincoln, as smart as he was, he read the Declaration of Independence before he put his John Hancock on it.

  Edith Bunker : Archie, are you sure Abraham Lincoln signed the Declaration of Independence?

  Archie Bunker : Sure, fourscore and seven years ago.
