Mork's First Christmas (1978)

Pam Dawber: Mindy McConnell

Quotes 

• Mork : There's a plague! It's an epidemic, it's called Christmas!

  Mindy McConnell : Ohhhh, the Christmas plague.

  Mork : Ah, you know about it? It affects the brain! The mindless hoards are all out in the street milling around. Last night, while you were at school, there was a roving gang terrorizing the neighborhood, they were just singing for trouble!

  Mindy McConnell : Singing for trouble?

  Mork : Yes! They wanted to beat up Monty Hall and his family! They were going from house to house singing, "Deck the Halls! Deck the Halls!"

• Mork : Quick, we've gotta get you out of here! The whole town's under Marshall law! There's a little fat dude in a red suit on every corner! And he's called Santa CLAWS! And he's stopping everybody! And people are really sick cuz they're putting plastic babies on everybody's lawn covered in straw! I don't know, but we've gotta get out of here before we're all infected!

  Mindy McConnell : Mork, relax. Now, this might be hard for you to understand, but it's all a part of our Christmas holiday.

  Mindy McConnell : Oh, that explains it.

• Mindy McConnell : Susan, we're gonna see that you have a really nice Christmas this year.

  Mork : Yes, we have presents, even for you.

• [Mindy opens her Christmas gift] 

  Mindy McConnell : It's a bracelet!

  Mork : No, it's a lawnmower! Of course it's a bracelet! It's hand-made by Mork.

  Mindy McConnell : Well, it's really interesting. What kind of beads are these?

  Mork : Oh, they're not beads. I know you'll love it cuz there's a whole collection of 'em up in the attic. They're flies!

  [Mindy instantly drops the bracelet; Mork picks it up] 

  Mork : They can't fly now, silly, they're dead! And look, I hand-painted each and every one of their eyes. Which was really a drag, took a long time. And I made little clothing for 'em right there, little pants. Oh, look! Look! His human's open! And if you look real close and you hold 'em up to the light, you can see I put sequins on the wings so they could look like Liza Minelli in Cabaret!

• Frederick McConnell : Okay, so your presents weren't very practical, but it doesn't matter.

  Mindy McConnell : Oh Mork, dad's right. It's not the gift, it's the thought that counts.

  Cora Hudson : That's true, Mork, it is the thought.

  Mork : Thoughts are important?

  Frederick McConnell : Well, of course!

  Mork : I should've given you one of those for Christmas!

  Cora Hudson : You can give a thought?

  Mork : No, but you can give it to yourselves, I can make it happen!

• Mindy McConnell : Well, Susan Taylor! Whatever brings you into this neighborhood? After all, there's no valet parking.

  Susan Taylor : Mindy! Nonsense! I'd go to a tacky area to see a friend.
