ALF, Season 3

ALF:
[comes in the room] Question.

Willie:
Perhaps I spoke too soon.

ALF:
Bottom line. I'm concerned about how this strike is gonna affect everyone, especially me.

Kate:
Spoken like a true humanitarian.

ALF:
I know. And I have the solution in 5 simple words, Willie gets another kob.

Willie:
That's 4 words.

ALF:
Good. I ran out of fingers.

Kate:
As a matter of fact, I was just thinking that I should go back to work.

ALF:
[laughs] Good one, Kate!

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.

ALF:
I have a gut feeling I'm not going to hear the words "by choice".

Willie:
ALF, you know we're glad you're part of this family.

Kate:
We are, ALF. Even at this inconveniently late hour.

ALF:
Then isn't it time we made it official?

Willie:
Made what official?

ALF:
My adoption!

Willie:
Oh, I don't even think we can do that. Can we? No, we can't do that.

ALF:
Why not?

Willie:
Well, for starters, there's that species thing.

ALF:
It doesn't bother you that I don't bear the Tanner name?

Willie:
No.

Kate:
ALF, please. Go back to bed.

ALF:
But Kate, if you get a job, who's going to take care of me?

Kate:
Willie will be here.

ALF:
No offense, but Kate, if you get a job, who's going to take care of me?

Willie:
ALF, you're 231 years old. You should be able to take care of yourself by now.

ALF:
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
