"Okay, Daddy and I are gonna have to have a long talk. I don't know how, but I'm gonna tell him that we need a gate. Some kind of guard or screen to put over the television set so nobody can get out. Okay."

"I don't have friends because I don't want friends."

"(repeated line) I do not have a problem."

"This cannot be happening. I'm losing my mind. Yeah, that's it."

"(to Fat Albert and the Gang) Okay, other people can see you, too. That's good. I think."

"Hey! Hey! Hey. Let go my legs. Hey let go my legs. I got to help these people. Wow, look at that guy. Ohh, look at this… Yeah, you can’t tell me he doesn’t need my help. Check out that lady over there. Do I detect tears? Eh, you in the back. Where are you goin’? It’s not over. You gotta watch the end credits."

"I can't take my sweater off...because, uh, I don't know what's underneath."

"I don't have problems. I solve problems."

"I'm Fat Albert."

"(repeated line) Hey, hey, hey!"

"I remember once imagining what my life would be like, what I'd be like. I pictured having all these qualities, strong positive qualities that people could pick up on from across the room. But as time passed, few ever became any qualities that I actually had. And all the possibilities I faced and the sorts of people I could be, all of them got reduced every year to fewer and fewer. Until finally they got reduced to one, to who I am. And that's who I am, the weather man."

"He's got the extraordinary chance at the dream of a lifetime."

"He didn't find his dreams... his dreams found him."

"Alex Rogan is a small town teenager with big time dreams. Dreams of college... of success... of marrying his girlfriend, Maggie. He's just like everybody else, except Alex has a very special talent... that no one on Earth can appreciate. But tonight, a mysterious stranger has called on Alex. He's come from a galaxy that's under attack from an alien force. And Alex's unique ability is their last hope."
