"George, shouldn't you be thinking"
The Jeffersons
"about what you're going to say in your speech?"
The Jeffersons
"Ain't nothing to think about."
The Jeffersons
"I'll just tell them how I made it."
The Jeffersons
"How I..."
The Jeffersons
"Climbed the ladder of success, rung by rung."
The Jeffersons
"They don't want to hear about ladders, George."
The Jeffersons
"They just want to hear about running a business."
The Jeffersons
"I'll get to that, but first I got to inspire them."
The Jeffersons
"I'll just have to tell them that 46 years ago..."
The Jeffersons
"A baby boy was born in a cotton field"
The Jeffersons
"in Alabama."
The Jeffersons
"Applesauce, George. Applesauce!"
The Jeffersons
"You were born in a hospital and you know it."
The Jeffersons
"Will you two leave me alone? I know what to say."
The Jeffersons
"All I need is a snappy title."
The Jeffersons
"What about "From Rags to Riches?""
The Jeffersons
"Or "How to Clean Up in the Cleaning Business"?"
The Jeffersons
"George always says clever things like that."
The Jeffersons
"I know."
The Jeffersons

The Jeffersons
"I Ever Met: Me.""

The Jeffersons
"I'm Charles Thompson."
The Jeffersons
"Did your wife tell you..."
The Jeffersons
"She sure did! Come in. Come in."

The Jeffersons
"How do you do?"

The Jeffersons
"to speak at our class."
The Jeffersons

The Jeffersons
"Well, I figure it's only fair that I should pass on"
The Jeffersons
"some of my business know-how"
The Jeffersons
"to them that don't know how."
The Jeffersons
"We appreciate you taking the time."
The Jeffersons
"I know how busy you must be."
The Jeffersons
"No matter how heavy my work is, I can always find time out"
The Jeffersons
"for something like this."
The Jeffersons
"Those kids in Harlem are sure going to appreciate it."
The Jeffersons
"Harlem?"
The Jeffersons
"What school you from, anyway?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, it's not exactly a school."
The Jeffersons
"It's a special program that a couple of brothers and myself"
The Jeffersons
"set up, we're trying to teach young people in the community"
The Jeffersons
"how to start their own business."
The Jeffersons
"I ain't going to be speaking in no college?"
The Jeffersons
"No. You'll be speaking in a basement."
The Jeffersons
"In a basement?"
The Jeffersons
"Yes, of a housing project on 126th Street."
The Jeffersons
"You can't wear no robe and tassles in a basement."
The Jeffersons
"What?"
The Jeffersons
"Listen, you don't want me. I mean, I ain't gotten much."
The Jeffersons
"Why don't you get yourself an oil millionaire,"
The Jeffersons
"or president of some big corporation?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, I'd be glad to if you can find me a black one."
The Jeffersons

"You came out of the ghetto."
The Jeffersons
"You got a successful cleaning store in Harlem."
The Jeffersons
"You can show these kids that they can make it too."
The Jeffersons
"Yeah, Thompson, but..."
The Jeffersons
"Look, it's only a few weeks, one night a week."
The Jeffersons
"Night? Why at night?"
The Jeffersons
"Because most people work during the day."
The Jeffersons
"Our first session is this Thursday at 8:00."
The Jeffersons
"Thursday? That's too bad."
The Jeffersons
"Afraid I can't make it Thursday."
The Jeffersons
"Why not?"
The Jeffersons
"Because that's the night we got"
The Jeffersons
"that big dinner date planned. I'm sorry but..."
The Jeffersons
"George, we don't have any dinner date"
The Jeffersons
"planned for Thursday."
The Jeffersons
"Of course we do, Weezy."
The Jeffersons
"That's the night we're supposed to go out with..."
The Jeffersons
"um, uh... the Willises."
The Jeffersons
"The Willises? We never go out with the Willises."
The Jeffersons
"That's why it's so important."
The Jeffersons
"We can't break our first date."
The Jeffersons
"Well, if you can't make it this week,"
The Jeffersons
"how about starting next week?"
The Jeffersons
"Next week's bad too. Well..."
The Jeffersons
"And the week after that's even worse."
The Jeffersons
"Look, Mr. Jefferson, why don't you level with me?"
The Jeffersons
"Now, you were all excited about doing this"
The Jeffersons
"until you found out it was in the ghetto."
The Jeffersons
"You've got a good business in the ghetto."
The Jeffersons
"Here's a chance to give back a little of what you take out."
The Jeffersons
"I give back plenty of money all year long."
The Jeffersons
"Tell him, Weezy. Tell him how many checks I send out"
The Jeffersons
"to black groups every month."
The Jeffersons
"It's true, Mr. Thompson."
The Jeffersons
"George is very generous that way."
The Jeffersons
"I'll tell you what I'll do."
The Jeffersons
"I'll write out a check to your group."
The Jeffersons
"How much you need? $200? $300? I'll support you all I can."
The Jeffersons
"I'm not asking you for money. I'm just asking that you come"
The Jeffersons
"to Harlem and talk to us."
The Jeffersons
"Look, I don't mind talking in Harlem."
The Jeffersons
"I just mind walking in Harlem, especially at night."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, so that's it. You're afraid to go to Harlem?"
The Jeffersons
"You're damn right."
