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.
