Season 1, Episode 6: Whose Room Is It Anyway?
Synopsis: Al, as usual, gets no tax refund, while the Rhoades's get a whopper. They decide to have a new room added, and Al tries to get Steve to put in a pool room, whilst Peg tries to get Marcy to put in an exercise room.
I give this one 9/10, it's got some truly classic dialogue and almost every line is funny. Again, Steve gets suckered into a scheme by Al, but we also see a parallel of Peg suckering in Marcy. The Bundys are truly only ever out for themselves.
First: Al shows his hatred of the French. At length.
--------------------------
Al: I know the perfect room. A pool room for you and me.
Steve: I don't know. I think we should get a room we both like.
Al: Well she's got one. She's got the kitchen!
--------------------------
Al: I want you to cut down on your entertainment expenditures. You know, records, movies, bleach...
Kelly: Fine, but I'm warning you: I'll steal bleach before I give up my blondeness.
Al: Good girl.
--------------------------
Marcy: Hi. We've been nut-picking and we brought you a bag.
Peggy: Aw.
Marcy: You got a nut-cracker?
Al: You're looking at her.
--------------------------
Marcy: The only thing is - we don't know what to do with the money.
Al: Why don't you have a couple of kids - they'll suck it up like a Hoover.
--------------------------
Al: Oh, sure, our rights are not important? Anything a woman says is fine with us? Gee, when did men become such losers? It used to be so great to be a man. Women were there, to please us. They'd look after the kids and we'd go out and have a good time. That's the natural order of things. What happened, Steve?
Steve: Well, Al...
Al: I'll tell you what happened, Steve. Somebody told women they should start enjoying sex, too. That was the beginning of the end. Now they like it but it's work for us. Everything's work for us. It's this equality thing, it's killing us. You know who I blame?
Steve: The French?
(Al nods his agreement)
Al: I think it's this - this Curie guy started the whole thing. He's the guy that let his wife take the credit for discovering radium.
Steve: But she did discover radium.
Al: Ah, probably because he left it out one night. That never would have happened if he had his own room. Einstein had his own room. You think Einstein invented the theory of relativity in his wife's exercise room? No. He was in his own room with the door closed.
