ALF, Season 4

[Larry comes to visit the Tanners]

Willie:
Well, what's your professional opinion?

Larry:
He's bored.

Willie:
But you don't think there's any underlying psychological reason?

Larry:
Maybe boredom.

Kate:
That's it?

Larry:
Well, he's a very intelligent being. I mean, he needs to be challenged.

Kate:
He needs to be muzzled.

Willie:
He has the computer. I've bought him dozens of books, video tapes.

Kate:
He has plenty to do. The problem is he wants to be in the middle of whatever we're doing.

Larry:
It's easy to forget, you know, that he's an adult and he wants to be treated like one.

Kate:
So, what do we do?

Larry:
Well, you could, talk to him, tell him your feelings ask for advice, his opinion, and do it at dinner. It'll work wonders.

Kate:
What if it doesn't?

Larry:
We'll have dessert.
