      • (ALF is left alone in the house with the giant cochroach.) ALF: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Whoever said that must've had a lot of bodyguards.

      • (Willie goes to check on the roach after spraying it with insecticide.) ALF: How big did it get? Willie: That depends. Do you measure the shoulders or the head?

      • Kate: Ahh! A cockroach! Brian: Look it has blue eyes? Lynn: Yes. ALF: Naturally, it is a cockroach.

      • ALF(to cockroach): Look. You're angry at the world. I understand that. Uh, you probably didn't get enough love as a larva. Uh... b-but I got an idea. We can sit down. Talk. Have a nice cold glass of "boric acid". You know, we can deal with it. (reaches for a plunger) What you ya-What do ya think about that? (picks up plunger) Ever see one of these?!? Huh? Take that! (plunger breaks) Uh... Oh, I was only kidding. Joke! Joke!

      ADD ALLUSIONS

      • When ALF muses, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," he alludes to the first inaugural address given by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

      • They joke about needing Sigourney Weaver for defeating the cochroach. That's an allusion to Weaver's role in the 1979 movie Alien, where an alien hides aboard a spaceship and kills off all but one of its crew.

      • The title is derived from a traditional Mexican folk song with the same name.
