    I thought I never saw it, on further review, I googled it and recognized it. Yes great movie!

    That reminded me of an interaction on The Honeymooners. Ralph is explaining why he doesn't like his mother-in-law to Alice. At their wedding reception she was going around telling people, "I haven't lost a daughter, I've gained a ton."

    My favorite Archie Bunker line, and appropriate for the season, is set at what I believe is a Christmas Eve dinner and Archie is saying grace. Paraphrased roughly: "Hi Lord, A. Bunker here, once again when Christmas has got us by the throat.".
