Al Lewis Quotes:

  • Willy Clark: [arguing over changing a line in their sketch] What's wrong with saying "enter" instead of "come in?"

    Al Lewis: Because it's different. Do you know why we did this sketch for 43 years, Willy? Because it's good.

    Willy Clark: And do you know why we're not doing it anymore? Because we've been doing it for 43 years.

    Al Lewis: If we're not doing it anymore, why are we changing it?

    Willy Clark: You know what's wrong with you, Lewis? You've been sitting on a New Jersey porch for too long. You're out of touch. From my window here

    [opens up window]

    Willy Clark: I see everything that's going on in the world. Look! I see old people, I see young people, nice people, bad people. I see hold-ups! I see drug addicts! Ambulances! Car crashes! Jumpers from buildings! I see everything! You see... a lawn mower... and the milkman.

    Al Lewis: That's why you want to say "enter" instead of "come in?"

  • Willy Clark: Oh, you a funny man, Al, a pain in the ass but a funny man.

    Al Lewis: You know what your trouble is, Willy? You always took the jokes too seriously. It was just jokes. We did comedy on the stage for 43 years. I don't think you enjoyed it once.

    Willy Clark: If I was there to enjoy it, I would buy a ticket.

  • Al Lewis: [on the phone] Doris, I want you to pick me up now. I don't want to discuss it. Pick me up. He pulled a knife on me - a kitchen knife! It was still dirty from breakfast!

  • Al Lewis: The man yells at me on stage and gets a million laughs. He yells at me off the stage - he gets a heart attack.

  • Ben Clark: How do you do, Mr. Lewis. I'm Ben Clark, Willy's nephew.

    Al Lewis: [shaking hands] Oh?... oh! Willy's nephew Ben. Sure, hello. How are you?

    Ben Clark: Fine, sir.

    Al Lewis: Good, good. You're Willy's nephew Ben. How are you?

    Ben Clark: Fine, sir, very good. It was nice of you to see me.

    Al Lewis: Really? When was that?

    Ben Clark: [after a pause] Today...

    [laughing nervously]

    Ben Clark: Heh, heh, it was nice of you to see me today.

    Al Lewis: Certainly. Today is fine. As a matter of fact, I was expecting you today.

    Mrs. Doris Green, Al's Daughter: Please sit down, Mr. Clark.

    Al Lewis: Why doesn't he sit down?

    Ben Clark: [sitting down] Thank you very much.

  • Al Lewis: You know what you are? You're a 73-year-old putz.

    Willy Clark: At least the putz didn't drive all the way here from New Jersey!
