Quote from Harry in A Dick on One Knee
Mary: Oh, Dick, you shouldn't be embarrassed. Michel's the one who got arrested. Sally: They got Michel! [all gasp] Mary: Yeah, the guy from immigration. It was an ugly fight. The French tend to kick a lot when frightened. Dick: Immigration? Mary: Yeah, they said they'll be sending him back to France in the morning. Dick: Of course, he's from another country! Sally: That's why he's an alien. Tommy: Alien from France. Harry: Not a quivering purple tube from a distant galaxy sent to study humankind. [Sally slaps the back of Harry's head] What? I said "not."
