Quotes 

• ALF : ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

  Willie Tanner : That was not Elvis Presley.

  ALF : Are you kidding?, he was on that sandwich like red beans on rice.

  Lynn Tanner : He didn't seem like Elvis to me either.

  ALF : Elvis was a brilliant actor. He could play anything from a singing race car driver to a singing deep sea diver.

• Willie Tanner : You've convinced me ALF, that we're living two doors down the street from Elvis Presley and Raquel is Janis Joplin and Trevor is Buddy Holly.

  ALF : That'll be the day!

• Willie Tanner : Even if this man were Elvis Presley, and I assure you he's not, he would never admit it.

  ALF : I bet I can get it out of him.

  Willie Tanner : [yelling]  LEAVE THE MAN ALONE!, LEAVE HIM ALONE!

  ALF : [sarcastically]  So what are you saying?, Leave the man alone?

• Aaron King : These wouldn't happen to be peanut butter and banana sandwiches, would they?

  Willie Tanner : Yes, yes. yes, they are, help yourself.

  Aaron King : Well, if you don't want them.

  Willie Tanner : Believe me, I don't want them.

  Aaron King : [takes a couple sandwiches]  Why thank you, thank you very much!

• [ALF is determined to prove the man next door is Elvis Presley] 

  ALF : I can be logical if I have to. The man's name is Aaron King. Elvis' middle name was Aaron and he was king of Rock 'n' Roll.

  Willie Tanner : I'm not convinced.

  ALF : OK. How about this. Hank Aaron is baseball's home run king and Elvis loved baseball.

  Willie Tanner : ALF, you are grasping at straws.

  ALF : [shouts]  OK. Listen to this. Aaron Burr wanted to be King of America and he was from the South, just like Elvis.

• ALF : Now look Willie, when this guy gets here, monitor him for Elvis like behavior.

  Willie Tanner : What would you have me do?

  ALF : See if these make him salivate.

  Willie Tanner : What are they?

  ALF : These are deep-fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Elvis loved them. He could eat 20 a day.

  Willie Tanner : And you think he's still alive?

• ALF : Raquel said this guy's in his fifties, Has a southern accent and he likes to sing. Who else could it be?

  Willie Tanner : Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Huckleberry Hound.

  ALF : No, no, no, those guys would never live next to the Ochmonek's.

  Willie Tanner : I give up.

• Lynn Tanner : Mr. King says we have a basket of fruit for him.

  Willie Tanner : [surprised]  Yes. It's something we do for all our new neighbors now.

  Aaron King : You call them at 3 A.M. too?

  Willie Tanner : Please, take these. Welcome to the neighborhood.

  Aaron King : That's mighty nice of you.

  Aaron King : [pulls an apple, in which ALF has taken a bite out of]  Somebody took a bite out of this apple.

  Willie Tanner : [annoyed]  Pesky mediterranean fruit flies, Bigger every year.
