[comes in the room] Question.
Perhaps I spoke too soon.
Bottom line. I'm concerned about how this strike is gonna affect everyone, especially me.
Spoken like a true humanitarian.
I know. And I have the solution in 5 simple words, Willie gets another kob.
That's 4 words.
Good. I ran out of fingers.
As a matter of fact, I was just thinking that I should go back to work.
[laughs] Good one, Kate!
I have always worked, ALF. I sold real estate, by choice, until I got pregnant with Lynn, by choice. I went back to work, by choice, until I got pregnant with Brian, by choice. And I was just getting ready to go back to work, by choice, when we got you.
I have a gut feeling I'm not going to hear the words "by choice".
ALF, you know we're glad you're part of this family.
We are, ALF. Even at this inconveniently late hour.
Then isn't it time we made it official?
Made what official?
My adoption!
Oh, I don't even think we can do that. Can we? No, we can't do that.
Why not?
Well, for starters, there's that species thing.
It doesn't bother you that I don't bear the Tanner name?
No.
ALF, please. Go back to bed.
But Kate, if you get a job, who's going to take care of me?
Willie will be here.
No offense, but Kate, if you get a job, who's going to take care of me?
ALF, you're 231 years old. You should be able to take care of yourself by now.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
