Quotes 

• Alien : Mr Hinkley, we saw you on "The Dick Cavett Show."

  Ralph Hinkley : Dick Cavett, huh?

  [laughs] 

  Ralph Hinkley : I didn't know you could get that stuff up here. That's great.

  [thinks about it] 

  Ralph Hinkley : What am I saying? I mean, of course they get that stuff up here. You probably have, you probably have cable up here too, don't you?

  Alien : You are a celebrity now, Mr. Hinkley. You and the suit are known to the world. This situation will not work. We must make the world forget.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : You can make the whole world forget they ever knew about Ralph and the suit?

  Alien : All we have to do is give the suit to someone else.

  Ralph Hinkley : Give the suit to someone else? You mean, I have to resign? I can't believe it. It's over. All those things I used to take for granted. All gone.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Well, it was good while it lasted. And you'll always have your memories. Or will he? What about me? I mean, I put up with a lot of stuff. I deserve to remember too.

  Alien : You may remember also, Mrs. Hinkley.

  Ralph Hinkley : What about Bill? Bill Maxwell.

  Alien : You think it important that Mr. Maxwell remember this?

  Ralph Hinkley : No, what if we give him the suit? Now wait a minute. Bill's already wired up on this whole thing. I mean, he gets carried away once in a while. But deep down inside, he's a, he's a pretty good guy.

  Alien : But, Mr. Hinkley, the owner of this suit must be more than a pretty good guy.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Well, I remember when Ralph was chosen. It was because you guys were looking for someone with strong moral character, a healthy idealism, altruistic nature and true integrity, right?

  Ralph Hinkley , Pam Davidson Hinkley : Not Bill.

• Ralph Hinkley : Excuse me, about the instruction book.

  Alien : We''ve given you two already, Mr. Hinkley. Surely you haven't lost it again?

  Ralph Hinkley : Oh, no, no, of course not. But, uh...

  Alien : Good. Because we have no more to give.

• Ralph Hinkley : Honey, I know how you feel. I wasn't exactly thrilled when I realized the secret was out. But it is, it is, Pamela! And we're going to have to cope with it. We can't change who we are.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : I realize that, Ralph. But this celebrity status doesn't become you. It's turned you into another guy. And I want my old Ralph Hinkley back! I want him back before things get totally out of hand and our live fall apart.

• Holly Hathaway : Ralph, you were right, this cape is so cumbersome and, you know, I'm not so sure about these little shoes, they're so blah. Maybe we could go with a nice pump?

  Ralph Hinkley : Ah, Holly, I think you'd better forget redesigning the suit. I think the green guys are kinda locked into this model.

• Bill Maxwell : Councilor, you're a real trooper, kid. The best.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Well, I did the best I could.

  Holly Hathaway : [sniffles]  Friendship is so beautiful.

  Bill Maxwell : Is she gonna do this a lot?

  Ralph Hinkley : Probably not. Tell you what, why don't the two of you get together and learn some things about each other? I'm sure you're gonna find this is a great match-up.

  Holly Hathaway : You're absolutely right, Ralph. We're gonna make a terrific team. I'm gonna make you really proud that you chose me. You too, Bill.

• Ralph Hinkley : They wanna do the Ralph Hinkley story, but they don't wanna do it realisticaly.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Why should they, Ralph? There's nothing realistic about any of this.

  Ralph Hinkley : What are you talking about?

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Look at yourself, Ralph. Look at our lives. This is a joke.

  Ralph Hinkley : Oh!

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : It was bad enough when we just had the suit to contend with. Now we have the suit *and* we have your publicity tour. Not to mention all the people who are calling and writing for special favors. This has got to stop.

  [the car phone rings] 

  Ralph Hinkley : That's probably Marty.

  [Pam throws out the car phone] 

  Ralph Hinkley : What are you doing?

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : This is my car, Ralph. If I'd wanted a phone in it, I would have put it in myself!

• Ralph Hinkley : [talking on car phone]  Marty, come on, man, Travolta? He's not even blonde. No, we need someone younger, more carefree looking. More spontaneous.

  Pam Davidson : More egotistical.

• Ralph Hinkley : Bill, I passed it on. The suit.

  Bill Maxwell : You passed on the suit? To somebody... else? Without even asking, without running it by me, without checkin- How could you do that to me kid?

  Ralph Hinkley : It's right Bill. I know it is. Now the green guys said, that when I found the right person I would know it and I know it Bill! She's the right person Bill, isn't she the right person?

  Bill Maxwell : Yeah, well she may be the right person for *him*, but what about- She?

  Ralph Hinkley : What did I tell you?

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : Hang tough, hun.

  Bill Maxwell : Ralph! You did it to me, didn't you? He did it, didn't he? You picked a skirt!

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : He *picked* a woman.

  Bill Maxwell : No! That's bad enough you wouldn't fight for your own pal Maxwell, to get the suit. That's- that's hard enough to swallow. Now you got me paired up with Nancy Drew!

  Ralph Hinkley : Holly Hathaway.

  Bill Maxwell : Who?

  Ralph Hinkley : Holly...

  Bill Maxwell : Who cares?

  Ralph Hinkley : Bill, give her a chance. I already told her all about you.

  Pam Davidson Hinkley : But he lied, so you're safe.

  Bill Maxwell : Bill she's got everything. Strong moral character, integrity, she's altruistic, warm, she's kind, she loves children and pets. She loves helping people.

  Bill Maxwell : Yeah, you left out brave, clean and reverent. Sounds like Miss America.

• Ralph Hinkley : Oh, Holly, you have to be careful with your strength when you're wearing the suit. Bill, remember the time I broke your hand when I went to shake it?

  Bill Maxwell : Which time?
