S1 E7Help Me, Rhonda

[ALF is dreaming in Melmac with his friends]

Hey, hey, hey! Stella! So happy birthday, Gordo.

Thanks, Skipper.

RRick

Hey Gordon. You got a date later?

Maybe. Maybe not.

SRSkipper and Rick

He's got a date!

SStella

Alright, who gets the chili cat?

Hey, over here, cutie.

SStella

Phelonion fries, no gravy.

RRick

Right here!

RRhonda

Whisker omelet, tail on the side.

Yo!

SStella

Happy birthday, big boy!

Thanks!

I think she likes you, big boy!

RRick

She's got legs like a like a Lunar Lander.

She is no Rhonda.

What about Rhonda?

RRick

Come on! Who are you kidding? That's who you got a date with.

Alright, I got a date with Rhonda. Why are you making such a big deal out of this?

[after ALF's dream ends, Willie wakes up ALF]

ALF! ALF, wake up! Wake up! [ALF screams as he wakes him up]

What's the matter?

Well, you were.. You were talking in your sleep. You were shouting, you were singing!

What was I singing?

I don't know, it was something about The Beach Boys.

"Little Deuce Coupe?"

No, it was that one with Rhonda in the title.

Rhonda.

Are you okay?

I don't think so, Willie.

Well, what's wrong?

Everything. I wanna go home.

[ALF is laying on the couch while Kate and Lynn check his temperature]

Just fluff 'em up. Just a bit. How's the tempt, Lynn?

[sighs] 425 degrees, ALF.

Normal. Normal's being on your own planet, not here.

ALF, I know you miss your friends and family. But we're your family now and...and we'd do anything for you. Wouldn't we, mom?

I think we are.

Any chance of reheating this soup?

[sighs] My pleasure.

Oh, and you might wanna run a Dustbuster over this couch. I seem to be shedding.

ALF, I'm not going all the way out to the garage to get the Dustbuster.

[loudly] Be realistic, Kate! It's not gonna come to you!

ALF, I'm gonna tell you something now and I want you to listen to me. Very carefully.

Let me get the Dustbuster. [leaves]

Now, I realize that you miss Rhonda and that you're homesick and people that are sick are not themselves. [ALF blows nose] They say things they don't mean they act in ways they wouldn't- [ALF wheezes] ordinarily act. But if you ever talk to me like that again I'll punch your heart out.

Fair enough.

SSkip

[on the radio] Hey! Where'd you guys go? I don't have all day.

It's really him! It's Skip! Skip, Skip, can you hear me?

SSkip

[on the radio] Yeah, yeah. Hear you loud and clear. Who was I talking to before?

Oh, well, that was one of the kids.

SSkip

[on the radio] Kids? You got kids now?'

No. Well, well, they're not mine. I mean, I'm just living with them and their parents.

Hi, Skip, I'm Brian.

SSkip

[on the radio] Hi, kid.

I'm Willie, and this is Kate. Kate, say hi to Skip!

Hi, Skip.

Where are you?

SSkip

[on the radio] I got to Hambetal, and I'm headed for Andromeda. Give me your coordinates. I'll do a fly-by. Pick you up tomorrow, about 7ish.

Oh, tomorrow? That's Brian's birthday.

Yeah, you can come to my birthday party.

Well, sure. We'd love to have you! Wouldn't we, dear?

Right! Mi casa su casa.

Skip, Skip, can you maybe make it next week? I hate to miss Brian's birthday, and, Friday, the transvestites are back on "Donahue."

SSkip

[on the radio] Do what you have to do. But I know someone else who's gonna be really disappointed. Rhonda.

Rhonda? You've seen Rhonda?

SSkip

[on the radio] Seen her? She's right here. Hey, say something, sweetheart.

RRhonda

[on the radio] Hi, cutie.

Forget the transvestites. See you tomorrow! Yeah!

S1 E8Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue?

Here you go, Bri, bring the plates. [hands Brian the plates]

[burps] Nice meal, Kate. Even though the portions were extremely small.

Sorry, we only had one pot roast.

Guess what? The most exciting thing just happened. Scott Maynard wants to keep all of his band equipment in our garage.

New boyfriend, huh?

Not yet.

Boyfriend?

You should see him, he's gorgeous.

Better-looking than me?

He has darker hair. And less of it.

I see.

Anyway, dad, he's got this rock band and they keep their instruments and stuff in his garage but Scott's dad's having this garage sale tomorrow and he said that if Scott doesn't get all of his stuff out of there tonight he'll sell it off for $5, so is it okay?

Is what okay? I missed most of that.

Please, dad, he wants to come over tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah, tonight. In about 15 minutes, if dad says yes.

I thought we had a date.

You and Lynn have a date?

We're gonna redecorate my room.

I'm sorry, ALF, we'll have to redecorate another time.

I see.

Mom, can I borrow your pink sweater?

Your father hasn't said yes yet.

Dad, Scott could have called anybody in school about this but he chose me.

I see.

Please, dad, it's just for 2 days.

I suppose Scott can keep his instruments here.

Thanks, dad. Mom.

Yes. You can use the pink sweater.

Thanks. [she leaves the kitchen]

Well, guess it's just me and my swatches.

Remember the decorating rules. The decorating consists of a couple of posters maybe a coat of paint.

Boy, you would've been a lot of fun during the Renaissances.

[Willie comes to the garage and sees ALF with a piano]

ALF.

What?

I thought the rule was you would ask before you use my tools.

Sorry. May I?

Yes, you may.

See, you're still in charge.

What do you need the tools for anyway?

I'm trying to fix Scott's piano. He must have broken it when he dragged it in here.

ALF, you have to turn it on.

Oh.

Didn't you learn about electronic music on Melmac?

Ancient history wasn't my best subject.

What are you doing here anyway?

Well, I wrote a poem for someone and, I wanna put it to music.

Well, as you may, or may not know many people think I am musically inclined.

Name 3?

I don't think I have to name names. May I see the poem? [reads a poem that ALF wrote] "Take a look at me and tell me what you see just another pretty face." It's very amusing.

Then there's the chorus.

"I can't get no satisfaction." Shouldn't that be I can't get any satisfaction?

[grabs the poem] Forget it, that's an old draft. Now, let's wail. Aiming something in the key of D.

May I suggest the key of E flat? It's more euphonious.

Great. We need more euphoniousness.

[singing "You're the One Who's Out of This World"] Take a look at me and tell me what you see, just another pretty face. Some clown from out of town, who came to hang around, and look a little out of place. You say you wonder what on earth I'm doing here. I'm only here to tell you, girl. I may be an unknown from The Twilight Zone, but you're the one who's out of this world. You're the one who's out of this world, sweet baby. You're the one who's out of this world. I'm spinning in an orbit, I ain't never been in, 'cause you're the one who's out of this world. You're the one who's out of this world, sweet baby. You're the one who's out of this world. I'm spinning in an orbit, I ain't never been in, 'cause you're the one who's out of this world .You're the one who's out of this world, sweet baby. You're the one who's out of this world. I'm spinning in an orbit, I ain't never been in, 'cause you're the one who's out of this, you're the one who's out of this, you're the one who's out of this world!

[after ALF's song ended]

ALF, I don't know what to say.

How about incredible?

I can't believe you did this. Nobody has ever done anything this nice for me.

So you're going out with me Friday instead of Scott?

One thing has nothing to do with the other. That's an entirely different subject.

I see.

Don't start I seeing me again. I don't understand why you're so mad at me.

Well, maybe it's because I thought we, we were..

Falling in love?

Yeah.

I do love you, ALF. But not in that way.

Then what way?

In a male-female relationship kind of way.

Oh, I see.

ALF.

No, no, I really do. I mean, I see that, I'll have to understand that we're just friends.

Good friends, special friends.

I understand.

And how do you feel about this?

I'll get used to it.

Thank you.

So, we're going out Friday night or what? Just kidding. Ha!

ALF, you're the one that's out of this world.

[as Lynn kiss ALF, Kate comes out of the bathroom and gets shocked as the episode ends]

S1 E9Jump

[the family is celebrating Willie's birthday]

To a super dad, husband, and earthling.

That was mine.

Thanks, thanks everyone. I'm very, very touched. Thank you, dear.

Happy birthday, darling. [Willie kisses her]

Happy birthday, daddy. [Willie hugs him]

Thank you son.

Many more dad. [Willie kisses her]

Thanks, sweetheart. Thank you, ALF. Thank- [ALF looks closely at his face as Willie gives him a kiss]

Whoa! Not bad! Still waters run deep there, William.

Blow out the candles!

Okay, 1, 2, 3! [he blows the candles and everybody laughs after Willie blows the candles] What is this? The 5th year now and I fall for it every single time.

Back off there Willie Bob, let me give it a shot. [pours the water on the candles and Willie's cake]

[offscreen] ALF!

What?

[Willie's graduation dream]

Where am I?

DHDean Houseman

You're at your graduation.

What am I graduating from?

DHDean Houseman

This is a dream, Tanner. Its purpose is to point out how inadequate you are compared to everyone else.

That sound like fun.

DHDean Houseman

Would you mind standing off to the side? Nolan Westwood come on out and accept your diploma? Congratulations Nolan on being a successful unicyclist world traveler and New Guinea and Cape.

NNolan

Thank you here are some stamps and coins.

He is on the money to?

DHDean Houseman

Tanner.

NNolan

Listen, I've got to go they're having a little ceremony for me back home I'm being bumped up from King to God

Congratulations Nolan.

NNolan

Thanks bud.

DHDean Houseman

And now, our next recipient needs no introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Namath! Just kidding, here you go, Joe.

JJoe

Thanks, say what's going on here?

DHDean Houseman

Willie's having a dream

JJoe

Willie!

Hello Joe. I'm sorry to drag you into this.

JJoe

Oh hey, that's cool I've been doing a lot of dreams lately. Next week, I'm doing a Howard Cosell nightmare.

Oh gee, Joe, you've done awfully well. Say, would you would you autograph this for my son, Brian?

JJoe

Absolutely. [he signs on Willie's back] There you go.

Thanks Joe. "To Brian", "tell your mom hello."

JJoe

You know what I always think about what Kate said when I proposed to her. Yeah and that's how I got the bad knees by the way kneeling. She said Broadway she always called me Broadway she said thanks but no thanks. I'm looking for someone that's predictable and safe. So long, Willie. [leaves as he plummets]

I'm going skydiving tomorrow.

DHDean Houseman

I'm going skydiving tomorrow. You had your chance. And now it gives me great pleasure to introduce our man of the century. Someone whose accomplishments but the rest of us to shame. A person of whom it can truly be said he changed the way we look at the world. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Gordon "ALF" Shumway.

[the three men come up to greet ALF]

JJoe

Can I have your autograph?

Sure Joe.

JJoe

Oh wait till my friends see this.

Oh there you go.

JJoe

Thanks.

ALF.

Willie.

ALF.

Willie.

You're the man of the century?

Yeah, what a surprise. I was happy just to be nominated, what a kick!

Well congratulations.

Thanks. Hey Willie, you never know, next century it could be you.

I don't think so. Hey, come on, don't be so negative. All you have to do is take this parachute and jump Willie.

Jump, jump.

EEveryone

Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump. [they echo as Willie gets shocked]

S1 E10Baby, You Can Drive My Car

[ALF and the Tanners find out about the red car]

ALF stole a car.

I didn't steal it. I bought it. For Lynn.

I don't believe it.

It would've been here last week, but I held out for red.

I don't believe it!

It's true. Everybody wants red.

ALF, how did you buy this car?

I got it through my broker.

Broker? What broker?

The one I hired to sell the gold from my spaceship.

Wait, wait, wait. Let's just take this one step at a time. You bought a car?

Yes. The papers are in that envelope.

You have gold?

Had gold. All the plumbing on my ship was gold. Except for the bidet. That was platinum.

Uh-huh.

ALF, this is the most wonderful present anyone has ever given me.

Aw, you're just saying that.

No! No, I mean it. It's incredible.

[reading a letter] Schecter, Cosay, and Klein. Investment Brokers. Dear ALF, congratulations. Or should I say, congratulazione. I've sold the balance of your gold and will invest the proceeds. In that mango farm in Oxnard. All the best. Joel.

Look at this interior. [goes inside the red car]

The dashboard is burled mahogany, grown in the Ferrari family's private arboretum.

And check out these wheels.

Chrome. From Rome.

Oh, feel this leather.

Virgin ox. Albino virgin.

Oh, my gosh. Willie, look, a cellular phone.

Programmed for speed dialing. Come on, Willie, park your carcass on that virgin ox.

Yeah, come on, dad.

Yeah, dad. Park it.

Yeah? No, no. [refuses to get inside the car] I'm not getting in that car. I can't. ALF, we're not keeping the car.

What?

Why not, dad?

Yeah, Willie, how come?

Because, it's wrong.

[mimicking] Because it's wrong. Why don't we needlepoint that into a sampler!

Look, we are not keeping a car that cost $60,000.

90.

$90,000.

What's bugging you, Willie? Is it that your daughter drives a better car than you do?

That has nothing to do with it. We're returning this car. Call Joel.

I can't. He's in Palm Springs till Thursday.

Dad, please. I'll let you drive my car anytime you want.

You wanna see how the Gucci airbag works?

It's obvious we cannot have a rational conversation in the presence of a Ferrari.

Alright. We'll go to the kitchen.

No, we'll go into the kitchen. You stay here. Come on, Lynn. Don't touch that airbag!

Fine. I'll just preset the radio.

Joel.

[ALF comes out of the car and finds it broken]

[finds the car that ALF crashed in the garage] ALF! ALF, are you okay?

Don't worry, I'm fine. But this phone is a piece of junk. I'm gonna call Joel just as soon as he gets back from the Springs.

Forget the phone, forget Joel. You've just crashed into our garage. For the second time, I might point out!

I'm sorry, Willie, I really am. I think I might need glasses.

Glasses? I think you might need a lawyer.

Now, Willie, calm down.

May I just say to you, think it's very irresponsible of you. To take the car out on the road like this. To endanger your life and the lives of others. And to make us worry. And this sort of thing seems to be repeating itself over and over again.

There have been some fun times. Tell him, Kate.

There have been some fun times. ALF, a lot of fun times, but this isn't one of them.

Look at what you've done!

Alright, alright, calm down. Don't worry about it, Willie. I'll pay for it.

And how do you propose to do that?

Well, I'll call Joel tomorrow, I'll sell the car, and we'll use the money to fix the garage.

You'll do that? You'll call Joel?

Well, actually, it'll be Joel's assistant, because as I have mentioned, Joel is in the Springs.

That sounds fair, doesn't it, Willie?

I suppose so. I suppose it does, ALF. I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Thanks. Of course I'll want a complete physical before I sign anything. Just kidding, just kidding. [phone rings] That'll be Mrs. Ochmonek about the hedge.

The hedge?

[walks away] I'll get it.

MMan

Mr. Tanner!

Uh, that'll be the people across the street. Does your insurance cover front porches?

I'll be right back. Don't leave town. [leaves]

ALF, I don't think I can ever repay you for what you've done. What have you done?

Well, I ran over a few front lawns, clipped a couple of jade trees. The rest is a blur.

I'd better go see if I can help out. [walks away]

I think I'll turn in early tonight. [hides away inside the car when a light shines on him]

S1 E11On the Road Again

Yo Kate, where do you keep your casserole dishes?

Why?

The cat won't fit in the toaster. Never mind, I'll make a peanut butter sandwich, where's the blender?

Try it without the blender this time, and don't get hair in the peanut butter jar.

Rules, rules, rules.

Yes, that's the answer. San Diego.

Fine. What was the question?

Where shall we go on vacation? I say we would should go to San Diego.

Oh, San Diego sounds fine. But, what about ALF?

We don't have to check with ALF. That's where we're going, San Diego, it's really got something for everyone. It's not just an empty slogan.

I'm sorry. Did you say I should get hair in the peanut butter, or I shouldn't?

Just toss it out.

The hair or the peanut butter?

Both!

No problem!

Why don't I believe that?

Oh my gosh there having a Shakespeare festival.

Willie, there's hair in our peanut butter.

Love boat's, Bernie Koppel is playing Hamlet.

What are we going to do about-

[as grease fire starts to come out] GREASE FIRE! GREASE FIRE!

ALF!

Oh, no!

[inside the kitchen] Never mind the curtains, put me out!

[the Tanners leave the trailer but they ended up staying in the trailer as a thunder booms]

Welcome back.

Chutes and Ladders anyone?

I'll set up the barbecue, anybody hungry?

You're not going out there?

I'll cook under the awning.

Need some help bobbing for firewood?

One more word out of you, and you're not eating with us.

Right. Let the alien starve.

I think the alien could skip a meal. It might be a new experience for you! [pause] How would you like your hamburger?

Medium rare. Hold the lightning.

How would you like to be 50% hair?

You know, you're a different person when you're on vacation.

I'm just trying to make this vacation fun.

How, by drowning us?

By trying to keep a positive attitude! You might do that yourself. INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME!

[annoyed] Guys, please.

Well, not everyone enjoys spending their vacation in a rainforest!

We're in this rainforest because of you!

I vote we go home.

You're not voting in this.

Call the newspapers! Democracy is dead!

You wanna to go home, go! No one's stopping him!

Dad!

There's the door!

Willie!

You want me to go? I'll go!

Fine, go!

Fine, I'm going. [he leaves but Brian stops him]

ALF, don't!

Sorry, Brian. I have my pride.

ALF!

Come on, ALF! You're not really going.

I'm out of here. I'm history! [opens a door when a thunder booms] I'm going to die! [leaves]

[walking while ALF is hugging his leg while the two began to think they are lost as they sit down on a rock] ALF, I think we'd make better time if you let go of my leg.

Just a little longer. I've been through a traumatic experience! Did I tell you how much I appreciate you saving my life?

Yes, you did ALF.

Did I also tell you that I think you're a credit to the human race?

Over and over.

Did I tell you I think you got us lost?

And then I lost, yeah.

I think we've been walking in circles.

That's because you've been holding on to my leg.

Well anyway, we're lost.

We're not lost. We're going the right way.

No, I'm pretty sure we should be going that way.

No, that is the way back to the camper.

Nope, that's the way back to the camper.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

Alright. Oh what's compromise, let's go that way.

No, no, no. That's where those guys live.

You got it.I'm gonna return you get my hundred dollars back.

You know, what you're absolutely right, that is the way back to the camper.

Whatever you say.

Aboard.

[Willie continues walking while ALF hugs his leg]

S1 E12Oh, Tannerbaum

Oh Willie, I want to see this. Look. Here, the very first Christmas card we ever got.

From our good friends at the gas company.

Oh that was a good first Christmas, wasn't it? We relaxed, we stayed in bed late and-

Was too cold to get up. Our friends of the gas company turned off the heat.

[comes in the Willie and Kate's bedroom] Merry Christmas! [rattles]

He knows when we're awake.

It's the day before Christmas. I've hidden all the eggs!

ALF, we hide eggs at Easter, not at Christmas.

Oh, that's right. Christmas is when we carve the pumpkin!

While you two get these holidays straighten out, I think I'll just go make breakfast.

Not necessary. I already made breakfast. Sloppy joes and fiber glass.

I'll just go find the eggs.

Why did you make us breakfast?

Because of the list.

What list?

Santa's. You know the fat guy that dresses in velvet. I found out that he watches everything you do right sit down and if you're naughties outnumber your nice is you don't get toys.

So you made us breakfast? Can't hurt. Oh, oh, and I've got another surprise for you.

[voiceover] Willie! Our Christmas tree!

ALF, what have you done?

I don't want to spoil the surprise.

ALF! You cut our tree in the firewood! [looks at the chopped tree that ALF cutted]

You're welcome. [rattles]
