• Fred G. Sanford : [Discussing his new outlook on life]  Fun, fun, fun, son. Bring on the wine, women and the song.

  Lamont Sanford : Pop, at your age you can't afford to do that.

  Fred G. Sanford : Why not?

  Lamont Sanford : Because if you have too much wine and women, the song is gonna be "Nearer My God To Thee."

• Lamont Sanford : [Looking incredulously at his father's loud outfit]  What have you got on?

  Fred G. Sanford : It's a Super Fly suit. What's it look like?

  Lamont Sanford : It looks like you got on a floral arrangement from Junior Cooper's funeral.

• Fred G. Sanford : [after discussing Junior Cooper, the friend of theirs who had just passed away whose funeral they just returned from, he gets up]  I'm gonna have me a glass of ripple.

  [All the other guys agree and follow Fred to the bar]
