It's this moment where Archie Bunker kind of, whether he wants to or not, unloads a lot about his own childhood.
Archie Bunker has this conviction that he shares with Michael Spivak that a father cannot be wrong.
And yet he explains all that his father did to him as a child.
And yet there's still this nagging conviction that a father can't be wrong.
And as Archie Bunkert is telling the story, the reaction of Michael
It seems to dawn on him why his father-in-law is like this, why he's so harsh on him, why their relationship can be so at odds because he doesn't always act like his father-in-law is always right.

He wanted to direct.
