"Sanford and Son" Tooth or Consequences (TV Episode 1972) Poster

Demond Wilson: Lamont Sanford

Quotes 

  • Fred Sanford : [a black dentist has exited and a white dentist enters]  You see the difference between them right away?

    Lamont Sanford : Yeah, it's like night and day.

  • Fred Sanford : I told you, I don't want no dentist to be fooling around in my mouth.

    Lamont Sanford : Why not?

    Fred Sanford : Because they make me nervous. All them drills and chisels and screw drivers they be sticking down your mouth. They don't even care if they hurt you or not, they just yank you and thank you.

  • Fred Sanford : I'll do it, but on one condition.

    Lamont Sanford : And that is?

    Fred Sanford : I want a white dentist.

    Lamont Sanford : What did you say?

    Fred Sanford : You heard me, I want a white dentist.

    Lamont Sanford : Well what makes you think you're going to get a black dentist?

    Fred Sanford : You said it was a free clinic, didn't you? Where you think you're gonna find a black dentist? In Beverly Hills?

    Lamont Sanford : Wasn't you the guy who told me once that you didn't want nothing white but milk?

    Fred Sanford : Well my tooth wasn't hurting then. I want the best available dentist for my tooth. Now just by coincidence, the best dentist schools are of the white people, by the white people, and for the white people. Now don't it seem likely that the best dentist would be white? White dentist, please?
