"Sure." "Hang on." "It's for you." "It must be jody." "Hello." "Hey, what's happening ?" "I saw that, willie." "Your building's going where ?" "Condo ?" "Where's condo ?" "Oh !" "Hey, no problem." "You can stay here until you find a new place." "Why would anybody mind ?" "We have a slogan here " ""Welcome" -- It's on the mat outside." "Willie sends his love." "Okay, bye bye." "Hang that up, will you ?" "The door mat says "wipe your feet."" "Jody's blind." "She'll never know." "**" "It's not that we don't want jody to stay," "It's just that we have a rule that says " "No dating boys with vans." "That rule doesn't apply." "It's a good one, though." "You shouldn't have invited a guest without asking us." "Would you rather i dated a boy with a van ?" "Why can't jody stay for a few days ?" "We put up with your mother staying here." "That's true." "Willie !" "She does that nasal thing at night." "Yeah, that heeeeeeee." "Heeeeeeeeeee." "Heeeeeeeeeee." "All right !" "We get the picture." "Doesn't jody have any other friends to stay with ?" "From this planet ?" "No, she's very shy." "Just like me." "You ?" "Shy ?" "You should have seen outgoing melmacians." "It was a planet of game-Show hosts." "I'm sorry." "We'd like her to stay," "But it's just too risky." "How would you feel if you were blind and homeless ?" "With no one to turn to ?" "I think alf has a point." "You're darn right." "What is it ?" "We can't turn our back on someone who needs us." "Well, all right." "She can use the guest room until she finds a place of her own." "Great !" "Thanks, lynn." "I owe you one." "One ?" "Well, one today." "Perfect." "[ Crash ]" "Almost perfect." "What was that crash ?" "A lamp fell off the furniture." "That leads to my next 2 questions." "A -- What was the lamp doing on a pile of furniture ?" "And b " " Why is the furniture in a pile ?" "Aren't you forgetting "c" ?" "What's for lunch ?" "Who piled up all the furniture ?" "Alf, why did you pile up all the furniture ?" "I stacked it, to get it out of jody's way." "She'll be safe if she stays out of the "falling lamp" zone." "Alf, let's rethink this." "Jody lived in an apartment." "Jody had furniture." "Jody walked around the furniture." "See jody." "See jody run." "Run, jody, run." "See the furniture." "See the alien move the furniture back." "Move, alien, move." "See the alien throw out his back." "See the alien blame the tanners." "Lawsuit, tanners, lawsuit." "I think she's here." "Okay, everyone, stay calm." "We are calm."

"I hope you didn't rearrange the furniture." "It was no trouble." "It was fun." "It will be even more fun putting it back." "Oh, well then you can do it." "Thanks for letting me stay here." "I hate to impose, but i didn't know what else to do." "You're not imposing." "We're glad you're here." "And stay as long as you like." "Yeah, alf did." "5." "4." "3." "2." "Time's up."

"All's fair in love and "guess the cheese."" "Let's play "guess the belch"." "[ Burp ]" "Alf." "You don't guess who belched." "You guess what they ate." "Oh, alf." "Why are there little cheese dots in the living room ?" "Well, i've never heard that term before," "But i think those are your children." "Did you do this to the hole punch ?" "That explains the little cheese dots." "Why was today's newspaper thrown into the trash ?" "I don't know." "Ask kate." "I am kate." "I was hoping you'd be confused and forget the question." "Alf," "You said the paper didn't come today." "Oh, what a tangled web we weave," "When we don't want our guests to leave." "Kate, willie ..." "I'm sorry." "Can someone please read me the classifieds ?" "Sure." "You can't read those." "They're classified." "Ha !" "Ha !" "Here's a good one -- 2 bedroom, 2 bath." "Give me that." "I'll find something."

"This is all news to me." "Jody is a grown woman." "She needs her independence." "That's easy for you to say." "You know nothing of the plight of blind people." "And you do ?" "Yes !" "The other day, i locked myself in the closet." "Being blind is very dusty, and smells like boots." "Jody's survived for years without us." "She can do it again." "I think she wants to do it again." "Fine." "Think what thou wilst." "Wilst ?" "Jody's my pal." "If she goes, i go." "What are you saying ?" "If she goes, i go." "Not a lot of verbal clutter there." "Now you're just being ridiculous." "Jody could never take care of you like we have." "Take care of me ?" "Are you implying that i'm some sort of house-Bound dilettante ?" "No, no, no ..." "well, yes." "For your information, i'll be taking care of her." "Jody needs me like a hole in the head." "Isn't that good on your planet ?" "Well, the apartment's available." "What a coincidence." "So am i."

"You could draw the meatballs." "Or the red wine." "This is a braille book." "These dots represent letters." "You rub your fingers over them to read the book." "Wouldn't that rub the fur off your fingers ?" "What ?" "Well, if you had furry fingers." "You say some of the strangest things." "It's no big deal." "It doesn't mean that i'm weird." "I'm just a regular, average being from your planet." "I know that." "But there is something i wanted to talk about." "Shoot." "Well, uh ..." "I really don't understand you." "You don't have a job." "You never leave the house." "I guess i'd better tell you the truth." "Please." "I'm old." "I'm real old." "Older than the gabor sisters." "Well, maybe not zsa zsa." "Well, you're very spry." "That's because i've cut my fat intake to 90% of my diet." "That reminds me." "I'd better start dinner." "No, no, no." "I'll handle dinner." "I'm supposed to take care of you." "Hello, pizza barge ?" "Send over a large pepperoni." "Alf, we're on a budget." "Right." "Charge it to the tanners." "We've imposed on the tanners enough." "Again, you're right." "Charge it to donald trump." "Hello ?" "Hello ?" "Vegetables again ?" "That's not food." "That's the stuff food eats." "It's what i eat." "What about real food ?" "Like the stuff you hit with your car in texas ?" "I'd like you to try my spinach lasagna." "Meanwhile, make yourself useful and set the table." "No problem." "It's taken care of." "I'm here to make your life easier." "[ Crash ]" "First, i'll sweep up that glass that spontaneously exploded." "Ow !" "Why are there little hills in the hallway ?" "They're speed bumps, so you don't go too fast." "I tripped over one." "You must have been speeding." "What are you doing ?" "I'm making this house safe for the sightless." "Well, it was safe." "Now, it's an obstacle course." "We've really got to find a way to keep you occupied." "Well, i found one." "I'm putting curb feelers on your shoes." "I have never scraped my ankles against a curb." "Pure luck."

"That doesn't sound like jody." "Maybe it was another blind person, who got a wrong number." "I don't think so." "Oh." "Well, if that's the way jody wants it." "I'm back, alf." "Don't take off your clothes." "We have company." "Alf !" "Jody, it's us." "It's the tanners." "Enough of the yakety-Yak." "Kate and willie, can you give us a minute alone ?" "Sure." "Where should we yakety-Yak ?" "In the bedroom." "Just follow the signs." "And make yourself useful -- Label jody's socks." "Careful, honey, speed bump." "Jody," "I've been thinking." "It's time for me to go back to the tanners." "Really ?" "You knew that this was only a temporary arrangement." "As soon as you were settled, i'd have to go." "Well, i'm settled." "Well, i guess i'm going." "Alf, before you go ..." "I want to thank you." "I couldn't have gotten through the past few weeks without you." "Hey, it was nothing." "Nothing ?" "Not everybody can label an egg." "It's easier when they're hard-Boiled." "It took a couple dozen to figure that out." "Before you go," "I want you to have this." "Wow !" "My very own braille book."
