- John Jefferson: Well, if you'd enjoy it, Father...
- Dan Jefferson: Well, I don't know whether you will. But as I told you, we're alert. And we ARE alert.
- John Jefferson: You just said that.
- Dan Jefferson: Yes, and you sound to me like, like one of those guys that we should be alert about.
- John Jefferson: One of those guys?
- Dan Jefferson: I just said that you sounded like one, I didn't say that you... 'cos if thought that you really were, you know, I'd take you out in the backyard and I'd give it you, both barrels.
- John Jefferson: No trial, huh?
- Dan Jefferson: Nah, you're off on the wrong slant. And you know what I'm talking about. Cos as your father, I want to know where you're headed.
