Neal, ALF and others in “Happy Together”

Neal

[arrives at his apartment and confronts ALF for all the mess he has done] Hi, ALF.

ALF

Hi.

Neal

Oh, ALF. I thought you were gonna clean up.

ALF

I did. Nice of you to notice. That beer-can pyramid? Gone.

Neal

Did you call the electrician about Apartment 16?

ALF

You were serious about that? I thought you were kidding.

Neal

Why would I be kidding about an electrician?

ALF

I don't know. It didn't seem very funny to me, either. I'll do it tomorrow. Look, ALF, I don't wanna sound insensitive but it has been a week and I thought we agreed that while you were here you'd help out. Well, I'm following the spirit of that agreement. [yawns] Now I need a nap.

Neal

Quick, uh, go to the bathroom.

ALF

Okay. Now what? Oh, chill out. I knew what you meant. [leaves]

Neal

[opens the door] Mrs. Watson. How are you today? How's every little thing?

Hello, Mr. Tanner. May I come in?

Neal

Oh, gee, do you have to?

I guess I could reprimand you in the hall.

Neal

Please, come in.

Thank you. Look at this place.

Neal

I don't have an answer for that. I wish I did.

We've had a lot of complaints about you from the other tenants. You have? I'm afraid so. But I told them, he's new, he's down on his luck his wife threw him out, and he's a little pathetic.

Neal

Well, thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

I hired you because I felt sorry for you. But even so, sinks have to flow, toilets have to flush. That's the way the world works.

Neal

Well, there's a lovely simple wisdom in that Mrs. Watson. And I promise I'll do better. Please, just remember why you hired me in the 1st place.

Don't test me, Mr. Tanner. Being pathetic will only get you so far in life. [she leaves Neal's apartment]

ALF

Don't worry about her. We're gonna get through this together.

Neal

What, do you think you can get to some of those phone calls?

ALF

Don't test me, Mr. Tanner. Oh, lighten up, Neal. [laughs as Neal starts to ignore him]
