Ralph James: Orson

Quotes 

• Orson : Mork.

  Mork : Good morning, Orson.

  Orson : Orson? You call me Orson to my face, but behind my back you call me "fatso," "rocketship thighs," and "star tush."

  Mork : You forgot "laser breath," ah ah! Sorry, your immenseness.

  Mork : You're right. We are a rather dull lot; the white bread of the universe.

  Orson : Emotions have been weeded out of us for the good of the race. And you constantly make jokes. I'm afraid that won't do.

  Mork : Real nimnose?

  Orson : Exactly. That is why I think you'll fit in there, Mork.

  Mork : You're too kind, sir. What's the name of this hellhole you're sending me to?

  Orson : Earth.
