      • ALF: Forgive my ignorance, but what's a bookie? Kate: An unsavory element ALF: Like oregano?

      • Kate: Mom, since when do you bet on horses? Dorothy: All my life. Kate: That's funny, I can't picture you at a racetrack ALF: I can picture her running! Dorothy: I wonder how long it would take to pull all the hair out of your body. ALF: About 2 hours.

      • Lynn: Dad, Mom wants me to sell Muffybear Brian: And Scooter! ALF: NO! Willie: Now kids, we have to be strong about this. (Kate walks by with a hockey stick) No, not my hockey stick, Nooo!

      • Willie: I say Kate, you aren't selling my ship in a bottle, are you? Kate: Hopefully
