"THE WHITE KIDS WERE ON ONE SIDE OF ME."
The Jeffersons
"THE PUERTO RICAN KIDS WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THEY WAS REALLY GOING AT IT."
The Jeffersons
"TABLES WAS GETTING KNOCKED OVER. CHAIRS WERE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR."
The Jeffersons
"THAT CAFETERIA'S A MESS. HOW DID IT START?"
The Jeffersons
"I DON'T KNOW. I WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO GET OUT OF THERE."
The Jeffersons
"I GOT TRAPPED WITH THE PUERTO RICAN KIDS BETWEEN ME AND THE DOOR, RIGHT?"
The Jeffersons
"SO I TURNED MY COLLAR AND DUCKED MY HEAD DOWN AND TRIED TO PASS."
The Jeffersons
"HOW ARE YOU GONNA PASS? YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE NO PUERTO RICAN."
The Jeffersons
"I WAS TRYING TO GET BY, AND I WAS GETTING AWAY WITH IT..."
The Jeffersons
"TILL THIS ONE BIG DUDE WALKED UP TO ME AND SAID..."
The Jeffersons
"SO I TRIED TO MAKE FRIENDS BY SPEAKING SPANISH,"
The Jeffersons
"BUT ALL I COULD THINK OF AT THE TIME WAS "KEMOSABE.""
The Jeffersons
"THAT'S HOW I GOT THIS."
The Jeffersons
"BUT WHAT'S ALL THAT GOT TO DO WITH YOU GETTING KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL?"
The Jeffersons
"THE NEXT THING I KNOW, THERE WAS COPS ALL OVER THE PLACE,"
The Jeffersons
"AND I GOT PICKED UP AND HAULED OFF WITH EVERYBODY ELSE TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE."
The Jeffersons
"WELL, AFTER YOU TOLD THEM YOUR STORY... HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME."
The Jeffersons
"WE ALL KNOW THE REASON WHY. 'CAUSE YOU BLACK."
The Jeffersons
"- NAH. - AIN'T NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR IT."
The Jeffersons
"THERE'S GOTTA BE IN THIS CASE 'CAUSE THE DEAN'S BLACK TOO."
The Jeffersons
"AND THEM'S THE WORST KIND."
The Jeffersons
"THERE'S SOMETHING I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS."
The Jeffersons
"THEY CAN'T THROW YOU OUT OF SCHOOL WITHOUT A HEARING."
The Jeffersons
"THERE'S GONNA BE A HEARING, BUT IT AIN'T GONNA DO ME NO GOOD."
The Jeffersons
"WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? THE DEAN SAID..."
The Jeffersons
"HE WAS GONNA SEE TO IT I GET SUSPENDED."
The Jeffersons
"WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG..."
The Jeffersons
"WELL, THE DEAN GOT ALL STEAMED UP 'CAUSE HE HATES ALL KIND OF RACIAL TROUBLE."
The Jeffersons
"SO I JUST TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM AND HE STARTED GETTING ALL ON MY CASE."
The Jeffersons
"HE WOULDN'T EVEN LISTEN. SO I JUST RAISED MY HAND TO GET HIS ATTENTION,"
The Jeffersons
"AND THAT'S WHEN HE KICKED ME OUT OF SCHOOL."
The Jeffersons
"BUT, LIONEL, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE."
The Jeffersons
"HOW CAN YOU GET THROWN OUT OF COLLEGE JUST FOR RAISING YOUR HAND TO THE DEAN?"
The Jeffersons
"- YOU KNOW WHAT THE PEACE SIGN IS, RIGHT? - YES."
The Jeffersons
"WELL, I JUST GAVE HIM HALF OF IT."
The Jeffersons
"WHAT THE DEVIL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?"
The Jeffersons
"THAT WAS A STUPID THING FOR LIONEL TO DO."
The Jeffersons
"WHY? HE GOT THE DEAN'S ATTENTION, DIDN'T HE?"
The Jeffersons
"HE GOT KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL TOO. OH, YEAH."
The Jeffersons
"THAT WAS A STUPID THING TO DO."
The Jeffersons
"NOW WHAT DO WE DO?"
The Jeffersons
"ONE THING LIONEL OUGHT TO DO RIGHT AWAY,"
The Jeffersons
"AND THAT'S GO BACK DOWN TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE AND APOLOGIZE FOR THAT GESTURE."
The Jeffersons
"- YOU WOULD SAY THAT. - UNCLE WARD, MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD."
The Jeffersons
"BUT THESE ARE THE '70s AND I DON'T CRAWL. I DON'T TOM FOR NOBODY."
The Jeffersons
"LIONEL!"
The Jeffersons
"- UNCLE WARD. - I NEED SOME FRESH AIR."
The Jeffersons
"WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT LIONEL?"
The Jeffersons
"I DON'T KNOW. YOU'RE HIS FATHER. YOU THINK OF SOMETHING."
The Jeffersons
"YOU'RE HIS MOTHER. HALF OF THE THINKING OUGHT TO BE ON YOUR HEAD."
The Jeffersons
"YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING."
The Jeffersons
"YOU'D PROBABLY MESS IT ALL UP ANYWAY."
The Jeffersons
"ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T HAVE THE BRAINS TO HANDLE THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION?"

The Jeffersons
"SHE'S OUT. SHE HAD TO GET UP EARLY THIS MORNING TO GO SHOPPING."
The Jeffersons
"I'LL WAIT FOR HER. DO YOU MIND IF I SERVE MYSELF A CUP OF COFFEE?"
The Jeffersons
"NOBODY SERVES BETTER THAN YOU."
The Jeffersons
"TELL ME SOMETHING, GEORGE."
The Jeffersons
"YOU LIKE TO USE THE WORDS "UNCLE TOM" A LOT."
