Let's remember that Ralph would also yell in his gruff voice: "You know what you are, Alice? You know what you are???"

She would say, "What, Ralph?"

Then he'd melt in a big grin, hold out his arms to hug her, and say, "You're the greatest!"

Alice always seemed pretty blase with Ralph's outbursts...as if she knew darn well he would never do what he yelled about.
