This episode is great, not one of my very favorites, but I like it. ALF's face is priceless after he says "How much am I down?". xD And this:

-"This looks like the handwriting of a 2-year-old."
- "Or someone much, much older"
:lol:

I love how Dorothy and ALF battle back and forth in this episode. Always my favorite moments!

Dorothy: "Fifty bucks! Where did you get fifty bucks? Have you been going through my purse again?"
ALF: "Yes, but that's not how I got the money. Oh, by the way...you're out of Tic-Tacs." :lol:

ALF: "Keep your eye on number 9!"
Willie: "You mean the one that just fell down?"
Priceless face
Willie: "He's not getting up."
ALF: He will, he will. Maybe he dropped something..."

Not sure if I got the quotse 100% accurate, but I think that's how they go. So many memorable quotes for me in this one...I could go all day.

The scene of the garage sale was priceless, when ALF jacked up all those prices. Gosh, no pun intended.

Another strong 3 from me. Somewhere towards the middle of this season the quality dipped some (though not drastically, it's still ALF and ALF is always great.) This was the last of those episodes before the season ended with some great, classic episodes.
