Quotes 

• Ansel Beauregard : You don't get it, do you? You showing up here like this, it puts everything I've worked so hard for at risk.

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : No, I *do* get it. I risked everything to be here.

  Ansel Beauregard : [pauses and looks back with a smile]  You're a pretty tough kid, aren't you?

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : I guess I've gotten that way.

  [pause] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Listen, Mr. Beauregard. If you don't want anything to do with me, that's fine. I'll leave you alone. But I just wanna know the truth, so I can stop thinking about it all the time.

  [pleadingly] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Are you my dad?

  [Ansel turns and looks Arlo in the eyes] 

  Ansel Beauregard : Arlo, I'm...

  [the moment is interrupted by the arrival of Ruff, Stucky and the Beast] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Uh...

  Ansel Beauregard : Say, what's the big idea, fellas? We're working on an emotional breakthrough here!

  Ruff : We just come for the gator boy.

  Stucky : That's right. Yeah, we prefer to be outta touch with our emotions.

  [Both proceed to stalk up on Arlo] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Dad?

  Ansel Beauregard : [stammers a bit]  Arlo...

  Ruff : [holds out a taser at him]  Stay back, now!

  Stucky : [puts the taser down]  Mister, if you want him back, I'm sure we can work out a price. But what will you want with a real, live alligator boy?

  [long pause] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : It's okay. You don't have to. I don't belong here.

  [surrenders himself as Ruff points his taser at Ansel] 

  Ruff : That's what I thought.

  [the Beast roars at Ansel; Arlo is taken away] 

  Ruff : Back to the swamp with you, little buddy! You're gonna make us rich!

  Stucky : Got a nice, fun little cage for you.

  [whistles for the Beast, who follows them out] 

  Ansel Beauregard : What have I become...?

• Ansel Beauregard : Arlo, if you'll give me another chance, I'd love to have you stay with me.

  [Arlo gasps in delight, but looks back and fourth at his friends and Ansel with trepidation] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : I appreciate it, Dad, I really do.

  [goes over to his friends] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : But I've got a whole new family now. And, well...

  [joins them for a group hug] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : We need each other.

  Ansel Beauregard : Cool. Cool. No, no, that's cool. Not like I'm desperately lonely or... anything.

  Furlecia : Get into this hug, gorgeous!

  [pulls Ansel into the hug; the crowd cheers happily] 

  Ruff : You know, we traveled all this way just to put that gator boy in a cage. But frankly, I had no idea we'd learn all this stuff about the human experience!

  Stucky : I never knew you could learn.

  Ruff : Dang it, Stucky. I love you!

  [hugs Stucky] 

  Stucky : Aww...

• Arlo the Alligator Boy : Who are you?

  Bertie : I'm the reason you aren't being turned into a handbag right now

  Ruff : [as he and Stucky stand]  Ooh-hoo! Now, we got a two-for-one!

  [Bertie growls; Arlo pokes her in the cheek] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Boop-boop. Hello?

  Bertie : Hmm?

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : [fascinated]  You look like an angel.

  Bertie : No squirming.
