True Colors (1990)

Paul Fusco: ALF

Quotes 

• Willie Tanner : You know, I just had a thought. Perhaps if you were to rekindle your interest in art it might be a less destructive and costly way for you to spend your idle hours.

  Kate Tanner : You know, the ones between waking up and falling asleep.

  ALF : Oh, ha-ha. Courtesy laugh.

• Lynn Tanner : This is horrible. Mr. Reuben thinks I have talent. What am I going to do?

  ALF : Oh, how do you get yourself into these things?

  Lynn Tanner : What you did was thoughtless, selfish, and egotistical.

  ALF : You spend your life raising them and this is the thanks you get.

• Willie Tanner : What's going on with you?

  ALF : Well, Lloyd Reuben thinks I'm a genius. And as a genius, I'm entitled to throw meaningless tantrums from time to time.

  [shouting] 

  ALF : So get used to it!

  [softly] 

  ALF : Okay?

  Willie Tanner : I think I liked you better as a constant drain.

• Willie Tanner : What are you doing, anyway?

  ALF : I'm suffering for my art.

  Willie Tanner : Is it necessary that we all suffer along with you?

• ALF : Ta-da!

  Kate Tanner : Looks like something I saw at traffic school.

  ALF : Thank you, Kate. I was worried you'd ridicule it.

• ALF : Oh, joy! Oh, rapture! My day and a half of suffering has paid off.

  Willie Tanner : You mean it's possible that this could truly be a work of art?

  Kate Tanner : And so the breakdown of human civilization begins.

• ALF : Lynn, a word to the wise. Forget art. Stick with plan A. Throw yourself at the first rich man to come along.

  Lynn Tanner : No. This class means a lot to me. It's being taught by a very respected artist in residence.

  ALF : What, he couldn't afford a place of his own?
