Max Wright: Willie Tanner

Suspicious Minds

Willie Tanner

ALF: ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!
Willie Tanner: That was not Elvis Presley.
ALF: Are you kidding?, he was on that sandwich like red beans on rice.
Lynn Tanner: He didn't seem like Elvis to me either.
ALF: Elvis was a brilliant actor. He could play anything from a singing race car driver to a singing deep sea diver.

Willie Tanner: You've convinced me ALF, that we're living two doors down the street from Elvis Presley and Raquel is Janis Joplin and Trevor is Buddy Holly.
ALF: That'll be the day!

Willie Tanner: Even if this man were Elvis Presley, and I assure you he's not, he would never admit it.
ALF: I bet I can get it out of him.
Willie Tanner: [yelling] LEAVE THE MAN ALONE!, LEAVE HIM ALONE!
ALF: [sarcastically] So what are you saying?, Leave the man alone?

Aaron King: These wouldn't happen to be peanut butter and banana sandwiches, would they?
Willie Tanner: Yes, yes. yes, they are, help yourself.
Aaron King: Well, if you don't want them.
Willie Tanner: Believe me, I don't want them.
Aaron King: [takes a couple sandwiches] Why thank you, thank you very much!

[ALF is determined to prove the man next door is Elvis Presley]
ALF: I can be logical if I have to. The man's name is Aaron King. Elvis' middle name was Aaron and he was king of Rock 'n' Roll.
Willie Tanner: I'm not convinced.
ALF: OK. How about this. Hank Aaron is baseball's home run king and Elvis loved baseball.
Willie Tanner: ALF, you are grasping at straws.
ALF: [shouts] OK. Listen to this. Aaron Burr wanted to be King of America and he was from the South, just like Elvis.

ALF: Now look Willie, when this guy gets here, monitor him for Elvis like behavior.
Willie Tanner: What would you have me do?
ALF: See if these make him salivate.
Willie Tanner: What are they?
ALF: These are deep-fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Elvis loved them. He could eat 20 a day.
Willie Tanner: And you think he's still alive?

ALF: Raquel said this guy's in his fifties, Has a southern accent and he likes to sing. Who else could it be?
Willie Tanner: Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Huckleberry Hound.
ALF: No, no, no, those guys would never live next to the Ochmonek's.
Willie Tanner: I give up.

Lynn Tanner: Mr. King says we have a basket of fruit for him.
Willie Tanner: [surprised] Yes. It's something we do for all our new neighbors now.
Aaron King: You call them at 3 A.M. too?
Willie Tanner: Please, take these. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Aaron King: That's mighty nice of you.
Aaron King: [pulls an apple, in which ALF has taken a bite out of] Somebody took a bite out of this apple.
Willie Tanner: [annoyed] Pesky mediterranean fruit flies, Bigger every year.
