He comforts Nicky on the loss of his dog with, "Mrs. Gianelli told me about Fred. I'm sorry. They go to Heaven too, you know...
...like a dog; others with more sense recognize I am bringing insult comedy back to TV for a world that loves nicknames and ^ invective. Fusco goes Freudian and burbles like this: "I think we all need magic and fantasy in our lives. ALF brings out the little girl or boy in people. He touches something inside you that you can go back to and remember." Sure -- blind fear of the dark! Haaah! I still kill...
