* AnAesop: Even seemingly honest people steal, even when they don't realize what they're doing.



* NotSoDifferentRemark: Once Mike and Gloria begin trying to show Archie the error of his ways by "borrowing" things from work, they both admit they're also guilty of the same thing -- Mike by trying to dodge collect calls, Gloria by taking leftover lipstick samples from the store -- and therefore have no room to talk. Only Edith has an excuse: She was 8 when she took more than her fair share of samples at the bakery (ergo, she didn't know any better).

* MoralMyooia: While multiple ''All In the Family'' episode did this throughout the course of the series, this episode was among those that did it very well. Both Mike and Gloria call Archie on his "borrowing" items from the plant (for his home improvement project), but then admit that, through a collect-call dodging scheme and getting "free" lipstick samples from the store, they're doing the same thing Archie did.
