True Colors (1990)

Max Wright: Willie Tanner

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.

• 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 : 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.
