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...
