My Son John

Dan Jefferson: John!

John Jefferson: Oh, Father, let's not go into it any more.

Dan Jefferson: Now I've, I've got another subject for you.

Dan Jefferson: As your father, you and I are going to have a talk, a good talk, away from your Mother. And it's about you, son.

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.

John Jefferson: Well, I can help you there. I'm headed for the bathroom, wash my hands and clean up for dinner.
