[ALF is in adult Lynn's dream where he is staying at Lynn's apartment eating a bug he hears]
ALF, you weren't eating bugs again, were you?
I can't help it, Lynn. I'm hungry. They were practically daring me.
Oh, but I made us some nice chicken broth.
Chicken broth? What's the occasion?
Well, Robert's been working so hard lately. He looks so drawn. I thought a nice, hot meal might be just the thing to pick his spirits up.
[arrives home] Honey, I'm home.
Oh, darling. Did you get a good spot on the boardwalk today?
Yep. Right next to the public restrooms.
Well, it's about time. How much did you make?
$17.
Oh, honey!
Oh, I have something for you.
Nice to see you haven't wasted the last 30 years.
Thank you, ALF. You know I need to hear that from time to time.
Oy.
Oh, I came up with something new today.
I hope it's edible.
You know the old man-trapped-in-a-box routine?
It's one of my very favorites.
Well, I found a new twist on it. Something that makes it totally unique. Man trapped in a pyramid!
It's amazing nobody's beaten you senseless.
You still don't believe in our dream, do you? Robert's going to be recognized as a genius someday. And then we'll have everything we ever wanted.
Oh, of course. All you have to do is take a drive through Beverly Hills and see the mansions built by famous mimes. Face it. There's no payoff!
Oh, yeah? Well, I have 17 big ones that says you're wrong.
Oh, wake up and smell the invisible flowers. Get a job.
[the phone rings]
You two. Hello. Yes. Well, just a moment, please. Honey, it's the circus.
Oh, boy. This is it. Hello. Yes, this is Robert Sherwood. A job? No, I'm not tied to the mime thing. Thank you. You won't be sorry. See you Monday.
What was that all about?
Oh, for heaven's sake. Somebody shoot me.
[singing] I got a job with the circus!
Will you be making more than $17 a day?
Well, not at first.
Good career move.
And the best part is there's a place for both of you in the act!
[ALF's dream changes to him Robert, and Adult Lynn at the circus who is tied up on the wheel]
Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing the amazing Robertino and his incredible target, Bobo the complaining freak of nature.
Lynn, can't we reconsider this? I mean, shouldn't he have at least rehearsed this thing?
Well, he figured he may only get one chance at it.
[screams as knifes aim for the wheel] Hey! Hey, watch it. That was too close. Hey! Couldn't I have at least worn a cup? [makes a comment after his dream with Lynn ends] Well, so much for Lynn. I guess I'm gonna have to rely on my worst-case scenario. I'm relatively sure Brian won't marry a mime. He'd only run out of things to say.
