• 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.

• [Susan opens her Christmas gift] 

  Susan Taylor : A saucer?

  Mork : Surprised?

  Susan Taylor : Oh, yes! Why a saucer?

  Mork : Well, Mindy said you'd only appreciate something shallow.

• Mork : Mindy, you don't have to worry about it snowing tonight because here's your fair-weather friend, Susan.

• [Eugene brings in a bundled Christmas tree] 

  Mork : A tree in bondage? Eugene, you're weird. Why are you dragging this dead thing around?

• [Susan gives Mork a ceramic angel for the Christmas tree] 

  Mork : Well, any friend of yours is a friend of ours, and your winged guest is welcome here. Fly, little friend, be free!

  [Mork tosses the angel in the air, it hits the floor and shatters] 

  Mork : Oooh, heavy remorse! I've killed your flighty friend!

• Mork : At home, we used to make presents for people.

  Eugene : Sure, you can do that!

  Mork : I thought that's against the law! You know, because on TV they say you've gotta buy everything, it's part of the commercialization of Christmas!

• 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!

• Susan Taylor : Ciao!

  Mork : Pekingese!

• Susan Taylor : Ciao!

  Mork : Grub!
