Quotes

add »
Tiffany: Maybe in the next world I'm going to, every day will be Christmas. (edit)
ALF: (to Tiffany, who imagines ALF is a female, and is about to adorn him with more girl stuff) Hold it right there! Earrings are where I draw the line!
Tiffany: You can talk!
ALF: Yeah, and it's a good thing. Otherwise, you'd have me in a bra by now! (edit)
ALF: (Singing) Deck the dump with bells of holly... Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La. (edit)

Trivia

add »
It is Francis P. Church's editorial, "Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" that Dr. Willoughby reads to George Foley. This was one of the most famous editorials ever written, and appeared in the The New York Sun in 1897 as a response to a little girl's letter. (edit)
