[Brian comes home from school, angry]
Hey, B, how was school today?
I failed my science project.
You should've added Alvin and Dave.
That's why I failed. I added them because I believed you, but all my friends laughed at me.
My teacher won't let my project be in the science carnival. It's all your fault.
You lied to me. There aren't really 11 planets, are there? [leaves]
Yes, there are. Brian, you're teacher's the one that needs an education. Now I'm mad. I'm mad, I'm mad. [dials the phone] Hello, information? Get me Brian's teacher. Oh, wait a minute. No, get me the Franklin Elementary School. Yes, I know it's cheaper to use a directory but I don't have any thumbs. Well, you should be sorry.
[Willie is fixing the TV at home]
They've gone to the movies.
Yes. I'm going out a little later, and it's dangerous to leave you alone with nothing to do.
Are you referring to that chemical spill?
Chemical spill? What chemical spill?
Nothing. Willie, how about a game of "Trivial Pursuit"? I promise not to pick any science questions.
I think you should leave this for a qualified repairman.
For your information, I've located the problem: there's no power going into the high-voltage transformer.
Your call. [he accidentally electrocutes Willie after pressing the button on the TV] Willie, it was an accident.
[angrily after being electrocuted by ALF] AN ACCIDENT? AN ACCIDENT? YOU ALMOST KILLED ME? AND YOU SAY IT WAS AN ACCIDENT?
Alright, let's call it a mistake! [doorbell rings] You want to get that, that's probably "Consumer Ed."
You called him "Consumer Ed" after I asked you not to?
You didn't say not too. You need to be more specific.
I hope it is "Consumer Ed", because I'm turning you in to him! Won't that be an interesting story for the 6:00 news!
Yeah, I think I left the oven on. [leaves to go to the kitchen]
[Willie goes to kitchen to find ALF wearing toy lips to his mouth]
[takes off ALF's lip toy off his mouth] I'll get right to the point. You told Brian to add those 2 planets to his model, didn't you?
No, I didn't. He did it on his own.
Well, I admit I was indirectly involved.
[angrily] It was wrong of you to be involved at all!
But I took care of it. I called his teacher and set her straight.
So I heard now, that the principal is here and it's all because of your ridiculous stories of yours!
Ridiculous? You're gonna feel a little silly when I tell you this but I called the Mount Palomar Observatory today and they have no knowledge of the planet, Alvin.
They do, however, know of Dave, only they call him Chiron.
Willie? Willie, snap out of it.
No, ALF, ALF. In the late 70s, an object was spotted in space, originally called "Object Kowal." It was later named "Chiron." And astronomers thought that could be a 10th planet just somewhere just beyond Pluto.
Somewhere? I'll show you exactly where.
What's this? [opens up ALF's map] Rand McNally, Guide to the Stars.
I keep it in my glove compartment.
This, this is incredible. You have a guide to the galaxy.
Well, it's 3 years old. A few of the stars have exploded. Now, let's see, Dave. Dave, G6.
Mileage between cities, Melmac, San Francisco.
Oh, here it is. Dave. Right here.
Dave. And there's Alvin. What's that little one?
You weren't making this up. I owe you an apology.
So is Mrs. Lyman. [opens the kitchen window] Oh, say, could I get you anything?
LMrs. Lyman
No, I'm fine.
I have 2 questions for you.
First, can I have my lips back? Thanks. And second, you gonna tell her the truth about the planets?
Why not? Show her the map.
Oh, good idea. And when she asks us where we got it, then where will we be?
Alright, alright, so you can't show her the map. But just because you don't have any proof, that ends it? I mean, what's with this planet? Here's a chance to open people's minds. Where are the freethinkers? The dreamers?
I don't know, but apparently, not in Brian's school. I'm afraid I'm just gonna have to go out there and tell her this has all been a big mistake.
In other words, you're gonna lie.
[Willie leaves the kitchen]
