• Florence Johnston : [as old ladies]  Sure is a fancy dress, Mrs. Jefferson.

  Louise Jefferson : Well, it's not every night you celebrate a 25th anniversary.

  George Jefferson : What're you talking about, Weezie? We've been married longer than that.

  Florence Johnston : Time sure flies. Seems like only yesterday I started working here.

  George Jefferson : Wrong, you still haven't started!

• Louise Jefferson : Helen, where's Tom?

  George Jefferson : Yeah, where's the other half of the zebra?

  Helen Willis : Right behind me.

  George Jefferson : That's exactly where his half belongs!

• George Jefferson : Willis, if I looked as bad as you did, I'd wake myself up!

  Tom Willis : Did you say something, Helen?

  Helen Willis : No, Tom.

  George Jefferson : I DID, YOU BIG HONKY!

• George Jefferson : [Tom sits where George is sitting]  Hey, what're you doing? You almost squashed me!

  Helen Willis : Tom, Tom, remember our diet.

  Tom Willis : Did you say something, dear?

  George Jefferson : She said you're too fat!

• George Jefferson : [sees Louise and Florence as gray-haired old ladies]  Oh, I get it. They're having a costume party at the Help Center, and you're both dressed up like Miss Jane Pittman.

• George Jefferson : [reading newspaper headline]  'Carter Promises Tax Relief'. That's all they gonna do too is promise. 'And in special news conference today, President Amy Carter under'--AMY Carter? 'Tuesday, November 23, 1996'! Ahhh! I got it! It's a dream! I can see them but they can't see me! Hey! I'm dreaming about my future! All right! Jefferson Cleaners is still around, Weezie still looks terrific, hey, this is great.

  George Jefferson : [shouting]  Honky-honky-honky-honky-HONKY!

  Tom Willis : Did someone call me?

  Helen Willis : No dear, you must've been dreaming.

  Tom Willis : Oh!

• George Jefferson : You should've seen me, Weezie, I fell 12 floors straight down and didn't get a scratch, look! I landed on this awning, then I bounced down to the street, and three cabs ran over me before I got up. DOESN'T ANYBODY CARE?

• George Jefferson : How could I be so stupid? But it seemed so real. I just dreamed Weezie ran off with that Bryan.

  Doris : And where were you?

  George Jefferson : I was dead from working so hard.
