• Lamont Sanford : Are you sure they were white, Pop?

  Fred G. Sanford : I know they wasn't black, 'cause you can't get no stocking over one of them big naturals.

• Lamont Sanford : [after explaining what happened to Fred's piggy bank as if a similar robbery happened, Lamont breaks character]  You believe me, don't you?

  Fred G. Sanford : [With a look of "uh oh"]  Yeah. I believe you.

  Lamont Sanford : Good, so why don't you go ahead and call the police.

  [Starts nudging Fred towards the phone, with him protesting as he continues to speak] 

  Lamont Sanford : Tell them exactly what happened.

  [Louder] 

  Lamont Sanford : I wonder if I'll get a citation just the one they gave you?

  [Once they get close to the phone, he picks up the dustpan with the broken glass in it] 

  Fred G. Sanford : [as he sees it]  ... I don't think it's necessary to call the pol...

  Lamont Sanford : And you can also tell them that I found my porcelain all smashed and broken, and sitting in the refrigerator in the yard!

  Lamont Sanford : I wonder how it got there!

  [Starts moving the manual vacuum back and forth on the floor like Fred did earlier, then bumps into the stand, making it topple over again, and his new collection spills on the floor and breaks, making both jump away] 

  Fred G. Sanford : [Turns to Lamont, smirking]  Yup. That's the dumb way it happened.

• Officer 'Swanny' Swanhauser : Mr. Sanford, do you believe that the injuries you sustained during the robbery will require medical attention, such as X-raying?

  Fred G. Sanford : I can't no three days off for that!

  Officer 'Swanny' Swanhauser : Mr. Sanford, it only takes a few minutes...

  Fred G. Sanford : It takes YOU a few minutes, it takes US three days in the waiting room!

• Fred G. Sanford : I coulda taken two of them, but six?

  Lamont Sanford : I thought you said four...

  Fred G. Sanford : Uh, yeah, four... four... We were robbed!
