ALF, Season 2

ALF (1986-1990) is the name of a popular TV sitcom series produced by NBC, inspired by and spoofing the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). It first aired September 22, 1986. It is about a furry alien survivor from Melmac, a nuclear exploded planet, whose spaceship crushes into the garage of an average American family. They then let him live in their house and try to hide him from their nosy neighbors and the rest of the world. This wise cracking alien makes it hard by being adventurous and always looking to have a good time (and trying to catch the family's tasty cat...).

[Kate turns on the lights and finds out that the living room is empty]

Kate:
Willie! Willie!

Willie:
Our furniture!

Kate:
We've been robbed!

Willie:
Wishful thinking.

[Willie and Kate come to the garage and find out that ALF took most of the furniture from the house as Willie turns off the radio that ALF is listening to]

ALF:
Oh, hi. Oh a housewarming gift, how nice. [he takes the pillow but Willie takes it away from him]

Kate:
Who told you could bring this furniture out here?

ALF:
Willie.

Willie:
I did not!

ALF:
You said I could bring something from the house.

Willie:
I said something. Not everything! In all fairness, you did not make that point clear.

Kate:
He did bring everything.

ALF:
Well, I didn't take that hideous Statue of Liberty clock.

Kate:
That clock was a gift from my mother.

ALF:
Did I say hideous? I meant lovely. As lovely as your mother. [microwave dings] That must be the microwave. Brisket anyone?

Kate:
FORGET THE BRISKET! ALF, I want you to take everything back into the house tonight. And I emphasize the word everything!

Willie:
And I emphasize the word TONIGHT!

Kate:
And if you don't, you will be living out here permanently!

ALF:
I noticed you emphasized the word permanently. Wait, don't go! Please can we sit down and talk this out just give me 1 minute.

Kate:
Alright, fine. Yes, you have 1 minute.

ALF:
Thank you. Hey Willie, don't sit there, that's my chair.

Willie:
That was my chair on the house.

ALF:
Well, we're not in the house.

Kate:
40 seconds.

ALF:
Well that's not fair! Willie talk to penalize him.

Kate:
35.

ALF:
What are you mission control?

Kate:
30.

ALF:
30 seconds, I just had a minute half a minute ago.

Kate:
Forget the minute! Just say what you have to say!

ALF:
Uh, uh. No! No! I need human companionship! I don't know how I ever got along without it, but now I'm hooked. I'm a people junkie. Please don't go.

Willie:
Oh, you go ahead Kate. I'll sit on here with him for a while.

Kate:
Willie, what are you doing?

Willie:
It seems like he really misses us.

ALF:
I do, I do, I do.

Kate:
Willie, he's got our furniture, and our brisket now he's after us!

Willie:
Oh, you're right, of course. You're right. You're staying in the garage without us, and without our brisket!

Kate:
Good night, ALF.

ALF:
Kate, wait please! Give me another chance I know I could change just let me move back inside for 1 week and I'll prove it to you. I'll be on my best behavior!

Kate:
What if during this week you don't change?

ALF:
Then, Willie and I will move out here for good.

Kate:
Alright you've got a deal.

Willie:
Kate! I don't want to move out here.

Kate:
Oh, I did mean that was part of- The deal is you stay in the house for 1 week, but if you mess up, you're history.

ALF:
Hey, no problem! [the flower vase breaks] The week hasn't started yet, right?

ALF:
Hey, you look good in Vinyl. How are you doing? Nice to meet you. Happy Halloween everybody!

Everyone:
Happy Halloween!

Willie:
Say, what are you doing here?

ALF:
Greeting the guests. Hey, Tex! Looks like you're putting on weight there. [laughs]

Willie:
Could I speak with you in the kitchen just for a moment?

ALF:
Hey, not now Willie. Your pumpkin's on fire. Ha! His pumpkin is on fire!

Willie:
Come here!

Bernice:
Well, who is little this guy?

Willie:
This is Gordon, everyone. Gordon's an old friend of our family. Bernice, don't mention his height. He's very sensitive.

ALF:
Hey, cowgirl. Nice calves. Ha! Nice calves! [Willie takes him to the kitchen]

Willie:
Okay, mister. I want the truth! And I want it now!

ALF:
All right. Your hair is thinning.

Willie:
You got a hold of our guest list, didn't you. You called people and told them to wear costumes just so you could come.

ALF:
You dragged me in here to tell me things I already know?

Willie:
On top of that, you invited the Burkes.

ALF:
Again, old news.

Willie:
Just tell me why.

ALF:
Because I really want you to get that promotion. Now get out there and start kissing up.

Willie:
I'm not kissing up to anyone, especially not Walter Burke.

ALF:
I know you wouldn't. That's why I'm here to do it for you. Oh Wollie!

Willie:
No wait, wait. You can't go out there. What if they discover that you're an alien?

ALF:
They won't. They'll think I'm wearing a costume, see?

Willie:
Where did you get that zipper?

ALF:
Well, you know your old jacket that you were gonna throw out?

Willie:
Yeah.

ALF:
Better hang on to it. I ripped this out of your new raincoat.

Willie:
Alright, go on and go out there. I don't care. Go on, fine with me. Blow your cover, that's fine! Just do me one favor.

ALF:
Ok, ok. I'll do my Elvis impression.

Willie:
Please keep away from my boss.

ALF:
No problem, he seems like a yuts anyway. Ok, everybody! Let's tear this place apart!

Lynn:
[while talking to Julie on the phone] No Julie, he hasn't called yet. How can he when you keep calling to see if he called?

ALF:
[comes in Lynn's room] Quick! Hang up! Dial 911. 9, uno, uno.

Lynn:
I gotta go, I'll text you later! Bye!

ALF:
Hurry up!

Lynn:
Wait a minute, I don't smell smoke.

ALF:
Where is it written that all my emergencies involve fire?

Lynn:
Sorry.

ALF:
It's Willie and Kate. They've been fighting all night!

Lynn:
Were you listening outside their door again?

ALF:
Inside their door. Under their bed. Anyway, I distinctly heard someone say, "Get off it, it isn't ALF's fault."

Lynn:
That was probably mom.

ALF:
Actually, it was me. Then they walked out on each other, Lynn. I'm an orphan! I don't want to be an orphan. I saw Annie. Orphans have to eat gruel, and tap dance with mops.

Lynn:
Listen to me. Mom and dad haven't abandoned us. They're having a little fight, that's all. I just hope mom wins, so I can go on that ski trip.

ALF:
They won't settle anything, without our help.

Lynn:
Our help?

ALF:
Please, Lynn. This is the only family that I've got.

Lynn:
This is the only family I've got.

ALF:
Really? No wonder you're always hanging around! Now, let's see. How would we solve this problem on Melmac?

Lynn:
Let me guess. You'd play Tug-of-War with a cat.

ALF:
No. That only takes your mind off your troubles. It never solves anything. Wait, I remember. To get a couple back together on Melmac, we'd recreate the happiest moment of their marriage.

Lynn:
I wonder what Mom and Dad's happiest moment was.

ALF:
The day they met me?

Lynn:
Think again.

ALF:
The day after they met me.

Lynn:
Keep thinking.

ALF:
I can't. My brain hurts. Aghhh!

Lynn:
Well, they're always talking about their honeymoon.

ALF:
Great! Yeah, that's it! Let's recreate their honeymoon. Where did they go?

Lynn:
Niagara Falls.

ALF:
Oh, real original.

[ALF and Jake get ready to meet each other]

Jake:
Get away from me! Just stay away from me!

ALF:
Wait! You can't leave. They'll think I broke the telescope.

Jake:
Okay, I'll fix it. Just don't bite me.

ALF:
Bite you? That's a good idea. I'll bite you, if you don't fix this. [snaps jaws]

Jake:
Alright! Just don't tell my aunt and uncle I was taking it.

ALF:
On 1 condition. You fix this telescope, and don't tell anyone about me.

Jake:
That's 2 conditions. [ALF growls] Alright! You've got a deal. What are you, anyway?

ALF:
I'm an alien from the planet Melmac. I have powers that you can only dream about.

Jake:
Like what?

ALF:
[thinks for a moment] I can watch television for 10 hours straight and not get up to go the bathroom.

Jake:
You're the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

ALF:
You should see me with my hair wet.

Jake:
Do the Tanners know about you?

ALF:
Yeah, they know all about me. Well, they don't know that I've had liposuction. Where'd you learn to fix telescopes? Cal tech?

Jake:
No, my dad taught me. We used to find things in the trash and fix them. My dad could fix anything, especially horse races.

ALF:
Wild guess. That's why he's in jail?

Jake:
Yeah. Well, I'm done.

ALF:
Wow! You're good! And fast!

Jake:
It's no big deal.

ALF:
No big deal? On Melmac, we only had one guy who knew how to fix things. They put him on display in a zoo, but the cage door was broken, so he walked away.

Jake:
Good story. Is it okay if I go now?

ALF:
Yeah, but remember our deal. You can't tell anyone about me.

Jake:
Hey, don't worry. I live by the Ochmonek code. We don't squeal or tip.

ALF:
The name's ALF.

Jake:
Jake. [leaves] Bye.

ALF:
Bye.

[the Ochmoneks come inside the Tanner's house]

Lynn:
Hi. Dad, it's the Ochmoneks. And Jake.

Jake:
Hi, tall, teenage, and tantalizin'.

Lynn:
Gag me with a shovel.

Jake:
Whatever turns you on.

Willie Any requests?

Trevor:
Yeah. Go jump in the lake and take your CB with ya.

Willie What?

Raquel:
Everyone thinks that you're taking this neighborhood watch thing far too seriously.

Willie:
Have I, as the Sentinel done something that's offended you?

Trevor:
Let us just say we don't want to be involved anymore. We're turning in our code names.

Raquel:
Cross The Phantom and Lolita off your list.

Trevor:
The Litwaks and Mrs. Byrd are droppin' out too.

Willie:
I guess I got a little carried away, huh?

Raquel:
You called me horsemeat.

Willie:
I'm sure I didn't say. Horsemeat. I'm sure that I said something nice that just sounded like.

Trevor:
At any rate, don't try to contact us. We're on our way outta town.

Raquel:
We're going to Tijuana to do some shopping. We have a whole house to refurnish. Come on, Jake.

Jake:
Can't I stay with the Tanners? I'm allergic to kitsch.

Lynn:
Go, enjoy. Drink the water. Adios!

Trevor:
I told you, you can't stay here unless Willie invites you to stay, of his own free will, without being pushed into it.

Willie:
Of course, Jake is more than welcome to stay.

Raquel:
Well, alright then. See you manana.

Jake:
Hasta luego.

Raquel:
Come on, Trevor.

Trevor:
Right behind you, Phantom. [he and Raquel leave]

Willie:
If you two will excuse me there's a little matter I have to discuss with ALF.

Jake:
Oh, take your time, sir. We'll be fine. Oh, uh, could you dim the lights on your way out? [hops on the sofa]

Lynn:
No problem. [gets up and turns off the light]

Lynn:
[answers the phone] Hello? Dad, it's ALF.

Willie:
Would you tell him to come in here if he wants to talk to me?

Lynn:
Dad said that you're gonna have to come in here if you want to talk to him. He says that's gonna be a problem.

Willie:
Hello, ALF.

ALF:
[on the phone at the Ochmoneks] Oh, Willie! Willie! Willie! What have I done?

Willie:
I don't know, ALF. What have you done?

ALF:
Did you see Dog Day Afternoon?

Willie:
Where are you?

Griswald:
[on megaphone] The house is surrounded. Come out with your hands up.

ALF:
Please hold. Uh, no dice! I'm armed, I'm dangerous and I'm off my medication.

Jake:
Hey! Hey! The cops have somebody cornered in my house!

ALF:
As you may have gathered, Willie. I'm in big trouble.

Willie:
You're always in trouble.

ALF:
Yeah, but even on the ALF scale this one's a humdinger. I need help.

Willie:
What happened, ALF?

ALF:
Long story short, I saw a burglar at the Ochmonek's and scared him away. Now, I'm trapped and I'm scared. Oh, the irony of it all.

Willie:
Well, can't you make a run for it?

ALF:
I take it you didn't see the end of Butch Cassidy either.

Willie:
No, I didn't.

ALF:
But you've got to do something, ALF. They might storm the house.

Willie:
Oh, yeah.

ALF:
I've got hostages in here! Think that'll hold them? Or should I say that the hostages are nuns?

Willie:
No nuns. None. [I'm coming over.

ALF:
Okay, but hurry! I don't think these guys will give you much of a grace period if you catch my drift.

Willie:
[hangs up the phone] ALF's trapped at the Ochmonek's.

Jake:
I know the feeling.

Willie:
I'm going over.

Brian:
Me too.

Kate:
No! You're staying here. It's too dangerous.

Jake:
Yeah, you might lose your cool when the bullets start flyin'.

Willie:
Bullets? There'll be bullets?

Kate:
Jake, that is ridiculous. Willie, be careful.

Willie:
Oh, uh, I will. By the way, how did Butch Cassidy end?

Kate:
They were gunned down by the Bolivian army.

Lynn:
Yeah, it was really cool.

Willie:
I can dig it.

ALF:
[while cutting the plants] This is pretty hefty punishment for breaking 1 measly chimney.

Brian:
Hey ALF, watch this! [throws a stick to the ground]

ALF:
Interesting.

Brian:
It's a dog.

ALF:
I could see that, but it wrecked your stick trick. What was supposed to happen?

Brian:
That was it. That's how you play fetch.

ALF:
Fascinating game. Right up there with watching golf.

Brian:
You wanna throw one? Alright. What harm could it do?

[ALF throws the stick to the Ochmoneks' backyard]

Willie:
[comes in] Hi.

ALF:
Hi.

Willie:
What are the chances that the crash I just heard was the Ochmoneks breaking their own window?

Brian:
Slim and none. And slim is out of town.

Willie:
Where did this dog come from?

Brian:
She followed me home from school.

Trevor:
[offscreen] Hey, Tanner!

Willie:
ALF, you better hide whilst I, once again, take the blame for something you did.

ALF:
Thanks, Willie. You're a prince.

Willie:
I'm a king.

Trevor:
[comes to the Tanners' backyard] Good afternoon, guys. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Willie:
Oh, gee, I'm sorry, Trevor. B-Brian and I were, we were just, sort of, play. It's $20, right?

Trevor:
80.

Willie:
$80?

Trevor:
Yeah, I'm putting in Plexiglas this time. It'll be cheaper for you in the long run.

Willie:
Good planning.

Trevor:
Thanks.

Willie:
Well, I'll see ya. [ALF pops his head out] So long, Trevor. [Trevor leaves the Tanners' backyard] She sure is a pretty dog.

Brian:
Can we keep her?

ALF:
Yeah, Willie. Can we, huh?

Willie:
No, I don't know. I'm sure she's got an owner somewhere.

Brian:
Can't we just keep her until we find the owner?

Willie:
Well, I guess so. As long as it's okay with your mom.

ALF:
Oh, goody, goody, goody, goody!

Brian:
I didn't know you liked dogs.

ALF:
What's not to like? They're loyal, obedient, they hate cats. [the dog growls] And those who eat them!

Kate:
[on the phone] I love you too, mom. Buh-bye. [hangs up the phone] Why are those boards in the fireplace?

Lynn:
ALF said, if you can't break 'em, burn 'em.

Kate:
ALF!

ALF:
[pops up from the kitchen] Boing!

Kate:
ALF, we are not going to let you burn perfectly good lumber.

ALF:
Oh, right, one of these days Willie's gonna build that gazebo.

[Brian comes home from school and tries to hide his face from Lynn]

Lynn:
Brian, what's wrong?

Brian:
[after getting beaten up for the 2nd time] Nothing. See you tomorrow.

Kate:
[stops Brian from leaving] Oh, no, not again.

Willie:
Brian!

Brian:
Hi, dad. Bobby beat me up again.

Willie:
Oh, no.

Brian:
I tried to walk away, like you said. But he was sitting on me at the time.

Kate:
Let me get the first aid kit. [takes Brian to the kitchen] Come on, Bri, let me clean you up.

ALF:
Alright! That's it! I say we fight violence with violence. That's how we used to solve things back home.

Willie:
But ALF, don't you remember what happened to your planet?

ALF:
Well, it blew up in a nuclear holocaust. Why?

Willie:
Don't you see the connection?

ALF:
What connection?

Willie:
I give up.

ALF:
Me too. I'm gonna lay down. My head is spinning. Maybe a cold cream sundae. [walks off]

Brian:
You should have heard what Bobby said.

Kate:
Did he insult me again?

Brian:
No. Dad.

Willie:
What did he say about me?

Brian:
He said you must have been desperate to marry someone like mom.

Kate:
I'm glad to see he's off my case.

Lynn:
Did he say anything about me?

Brian:
Yeah. He said you were cute.

Lynn:
Does he know I'm mom's daughter?

Kate:
[serious] This isn't funny! I'm sorry, Bri, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call Bobby's mother.

ALF:
Save your dialing finger, Kate. She's not home. She went down to the liquor store.

Lynn:
Who told you that?

ALF:
Bobby's father. Oh, by the way, he's coming over here to beat the stuffing out of Willie.

Willie:
What? Why?

ALF:
Well, he didn't like the way you talked to him on the phone.

Willie:
ALF, I thought we agreed that you'd stop impersonating me on the phone.

ALF:
We agreed I would stop impersonating the cast of Green Acres. [imitating] Although, Mr. Haney could have sold Brian some revivifying potion out of the back of his truck.

Willie:
ALF, what did I say, to Bobby's father?

ALF:
You were a bit rough actually. It was so unlike you.

Willie:
What did he say to me?

ALF:
He said that. He was gonna turn your face into silly putty. Hey, look at the bright side you'll be able to reproduce the Sunday comics.

[the doorbell rings]

Brian:
That might be Bobby's dad.

ALF:
I'm outta here. Hey, and don't worry, Willie we won't let them keep you alive artificially. [hides away as Willie and Kate leave the kitchen]

Paul:
Can't you pack any faster?

ALF:
Not one handed. Why do we have to run away?

Paul:
Because this place is a suburban Sing Sing.

Brian:
[comes in] Hey, ALF. Whatcha doing?

ALF:
I'm running away from home.

Paul:
Oh, great. Tell the whole world.

Brian:
Why are you running away?

Paul:
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! [laughs evily]

Brian:
[angrily] I'M GONNA TELL DAD! [he leaves the garage] DAD!

ALF:
Hey, why were you lying to Brian like that? [Paul hits him] Ow, don't hit me!

Paul:
Shut up and keep packing.

ALF:
Well, what if I don't wanna go? What if someone sees me?

Paul:
I'll tell 'em you're my pet sloth, which isn't too far from the truth.

ALF:
I don't know why I stay friends with you.

Paul:
Because I'm your alter ego.

ALF:
You're my what?

Paul:
I tell you what to do. Now, grab that radio over there. We'll hock it.

ALF:
I can't take that. It's Willie's!

[Willie and Kate come in the garage]

Willie:
You're not taking anything. And I think it's time I took that dummy away from you.

ALF:
No! No!

Paul:
Yeah. Back off or you'll be sucking splinters.

Kate:
ALF, Paul is only a toy. How about if we replace him with a Papa Smurf?

Paul:
Why don't we replace the two of you with Ozzie and Harriet? At least Harriet could cook.

Kate:
That's it, mister! You are kindling!

ALF:
No, no! Don't take Paul away from me. He'll die!

Willie:
ALF, why don't you and Paul just go in the house? We're not gonna bother you anymore. I promise.

ALF:
See how nice they are? Thank you. That's very kind of-

Paul:
Come on! Come on! I'll teach you how to smoke. [he and ALF leave the garage]

ALF:
But I don't wanna smoke.

Paul:
It's good for ya.

ALF:
Really?

Paul:
Oh, yeah.

Kate:
Willie, what? What did you do that for?

Willie:
Don't worry. I'm getting psychiatric help.

Kate:
Good for you, honey. But what about ALF?

Willie:
That's what I meant. I'm calling Larry. He helped ALF last year. He didn't even send us a bill.

Kate:
You get what you pay for.

Kate:
[offscreen] Get out of this bathroom! I'm going to take a bath, and that's final! [door slams]

ALF:
Fine! I'll go sulk in the kids' bathroom.

Willie:
Before you do, ALF, could you come out here?

ALF:
Sure, why not? It's not like I was born free to follow my heart, or anything.

[lights turns on]

Willie, Lynn, Brian, Jake, Larry, Dorothy, and Jody:
Surprise!

ALF:
Willie, intruder alert!

Willie:
Oh, ALF!

ALF:
I've been seen by a vicious snarling mob. [everyone talks at once] Hey, hey, wait a minute. I know this mob.

Willie:
We've invited everyone who's ever met you.

ALF:
How's it going Jake-o-Lantern?

Jake:
Great! Give me 5!

ALF:
Here's 4. I owe you one! [laughs]

Larry:
How you doing, ALF?

ALF:
Larry, my shrink! Nice to see you when I'm not wacko.

Dorothy:
I'd challenge that.

ALF:
Grandma Dorothy, how's your much younger husband, Whizzer?

Dorothy:
Always a pleasure.

Lynn:
Look, ALF. Jody is here.

ALF:
Citizen cane! Yeah! Nice to see you.

Jody:
Nice not to see you!

ALF:
[laughs] What a kidder! Watch out for the lamp!

Willie:
ALF, we wanted to show you your world isn't as limited as you thought.

Kate:
It's not the same as going out and making new friends, but we hope it helps.

ALF:
I couldn't ask for more. Where are the presents?

Willie:
Presents? We gave you presents at Christmas and your birthday, and on St. Melmac's Day, which I really doubt was that big a holiday.

ALF:
Hey, forget the presents. I guess it's enough that my friends and Dorothy, are here.

Dorothy:
Surprise!

Willie, Kate, Lynn, Brian, Jake, Larry, Dorothy, and Jody:
[giving ALF presents] Surprise!

ALF:
Oh, boy! Friends with presents are the best kind of friends and Dorothy.
