• Arlo the Alligator Boy : Bertie, you seeing this? This tiny train is all tricked out!

  Teeny Tiny Tony : Hey, hey, you got him! Thank you very much for your services, young green man. Now, where's my bag of cash?

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Oh! We gave it back to those loud farm people. Turns out, they were still angry after they got it back.

  Teeny Tiny Tony : Ba-gooh-ma mia!

  [stomps his hat in frustration] 

  Bertie : Hey, leave the kid alone! He's just a naïve and confused and misguided and lost little alligator boy. Okay?

  Furlecia : And I'm just a giant hairball. Doesn't mean I don't need money, honey.

  Bertie : Okay, so we gave back your stolen money.

  Furlecia : How dare!

  Alia : Hey, we're just trying to survive, lady! I'm a tiger. Look at me. You think I can work at a coffee shop? No, no. I can't.

  Bertie : I get it. More than you know.

  [Furlecia feels remorseful] 

  Teeny Tiny Tony : Okay. Well, why don't you get the fact that we were about to be rich and your kid messed it all up!

  Furlecia : [elbows him]  Knock it off, Tony. He doesn't mean it. Deep down, he's a real softie. And what's your name, sister?

  Bertie : I'm Bertie, and this here is my uh...

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Friend! We're best friends! I'm Arlo.

  Furlecia : I'm Furlecia, this is Teeny Tiny Tony, and Alia up front is our driver.

  Alia : [giggles and swerves a bit]  Oh! And I'm on my learner's permit, by the way. But, uh, I'm super good, so don't worry about a thing.

  [starts batting at a toy hamburger hanging from her rearview mirror] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : Oh, that sounds safe.

• Bertie : Arlo, what happened with your dad?

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : My so-called "dad"... well... turns out he doesn't want me. Now I don't even know who I am. And I probably never will.

  [crawls behind a boardwalk post] 

  Bertie : You are the most genuine person I've ever met.

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : That's just a nice way of saying I'm different.

  Bertie : Because of you, I think that different is the best thing someone can be.

  [Arlo peeks out] 

  Bertie : When I was a little kid, I was just like everyone else. But as I got older, I just never stopped growing. I still remember the moment that I've realized that people no longer looked me in the eyes. And eventually, I guess I... closed the door on ever letting anyone in. And then you, Arlo Beauregard...

  [grabs Arlo by the hand and hugs him] 

  Bertie : You came crashing right through it. You're the first person that's ever treated me like a real friend.

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : That's 'cause you're my best friend.

  Bertie : [sighs]  Best friend in the whole world.

  Marcellus : [bursts out of a freezer door]  GET A ROOM!

  [stammers] 

  Marcellus : Share your feelings...

  [stammers] 

  Marcellus : In private. Sorry.

• [Last lines] 

  Bertie : Yeah... home.

• Teeny Tiny Tony : Here you go, kid, the address of one Ansel Beauregard, hot off the streets!

  [hands Arlo the address, who gasps] 

  Bertie : So... where is it?

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : [still smiling]  I... I don't know.

  Teeny Tiny Tony : It's uptown!

  [points to a subway that reads "Subway Uptown"] 

  Teeny Tiny Tony : Way uptown!

  [shows sign above reading "Way Uptown"] 

  Arlo the Alligator Boy : [enters the subway with the others; singing]  Gonna find my dad / Gonna make him proud / Gonna hug him good / Gonna talk real loud!

  Marcellus : You don't have to sing everything you're thinking, you know?

• Bertie : [facing down Ruff and Stucky]  You two better stay down if you want to see tomorrow.

• 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.
