Quotes 

• Lamont Sanford : [Examining the contents of Fred's pocket after he set off the airport metal detector]  A crucifix? A St. Christopher's medal? A Star of David? A Crescent of Islam? And a Buddha?

  Fred G. Sanford : [Bringing up his hand]  And a mojo.

  Lamont Sanford : [Exasperated]  What do you need all these things for?

  Fred G. Sanford : Flight insurance. Y'see, down here on the ground I'm a Baptist, but up there I ain't takin' no chances.

• Lamont Sanford : [In response to Fred's insulting remarks about Uncle Leotis]  C'mon, Pop, show some respect. The man just died.

  Fred G. Sanford : One less ugly person in the world! And he was ugly. He looked like a fried monkey in the face. Had an old peanut-shaped head; every time it rained it had a big puddle of water in the middle of it.

• Fred G. Sanford : [In response to Mr. Menton's asking Fred if he enjoyed the flight]  It was all right, but I spent most of the time in the toilet.

  Mr. Menton : Oh, were you ill?

  Fred G. Sanford : Uh, no. I just got done and I was on my way out and the sign flashed on saying,"return to seat," so I sat back down.

• Fred G. Sanford : [Last lines] 

  [Lamont calls for a stewardess to dispose of the bag of fried chicken Fred had been carrying with him the whole time. She comes up to them] 

  Fred G. Sanford : Hi. Are you Jackie?

  Wendy : No, I'm Wendy. Would you like to meet Jackie?

  Fred G. Sanford : [Excited]  Jackie's on this flight?

  Wendy : Mmhmm.

  [Calling down the aisle and gesturing to Fred and Lamont's row as she walks away] 

  Wendy : Jackie?

  Fred G. Sanford : [to Lamont, who seems to be just as excited]  Did you hear that? We're going to meet Jackie.

  Jackie : [a stewardess, who is *way* less pretty than any of the others Fred has encountered, comes up]  Hi, I'm Jackie.

  Fred G. Sanford : [Both Fred and Lamont look at her shocked, then after Fred does his usual "ugly person" cringe, he hands the bag of chicken to her, then gets up and heads to the back of the plane]  I'll be in the toilet.
