Support for the Crocodile’s Actions

Incomplete Records and Personal Loss
Mrs. Bickerman Oh, my husband passed away. It's been almost two years now.

Mrs. Bickerman Well, I'm sorry. Incomplete records haunt me so.
Jack Wells What was the cause of your husband's death, ma'am? Do you know?

A Night Out in Maine
Kelly Scott Doesn't anyone "make a move" around here in Maine?

[opens the passenger door and moves his bag]

Jack Wells Come on, I know a good bar where we can get some beers.
Kelly Scott Are the glasses clean?
[gets in and closes the door]

Kelly Scott Start the car Jack.
Jack Wells I miss the crocodile already.
Condescension and Nature in Lake Placid
Kelly Scott The lake is so black and still.
Sheriff Hank Keough Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken.

Kelly Scott Could you be a little more condescending? Cause I'm not real great with subtlety.
Jack Wells Something in that lake killed somebody, all right? I appreciate your trying to help. I'm really glad that you... brought the RAID.
Kelly Scott There, that's better.
Jack Wells Ma'am...
Kelly Scott Look, if you call me "ma'am" one more time I'll sue you, and with today's laws, it's possible.
Sheriff Hank Keough She's good.
Tension Between Authority and Frustration
Mrs. Bickerman Murders and rapes in the city, people bomb planes, can the police stop em? No! But feed one little cow to a crocodile...

Mrs. Bickerman Thank you, officer fuck-meat!
Crocodiles and Hidden Information in Literature
Sheriff Hank Keough I... I... I never heard of a crocodile crossing an ocean.
Hector Cyr Well, they conceal information like that in books.
Confrontation at the Lake
Sheriff Hank Keough Ma'am, your husband Bernie, you didn't by any chance lead him to the lake blindfolded?
[after seeing her lead a blindfolded cow to the crocodile]
Mrs. Bickerman If I had a dick, this is where I'd tell you to suck it!
Uncertainty About Backup Resources
Kelly Scott What kind of backup do we have?
Sheriff Hank Keough We?

Sheriff Hank Keough Well, I'm a little unclear as to why the museum would send somebody here.
Kelly Scott You got a thing against museums?
Sheriff Hank Keough Naw, I got nothin against museums.
Kelly Scott Ever been in one?
Crocodiles and Cultural Reverence in History
Kelly Scott He thinks they're godly.
[about Hector]
Sheriff Hank Keough What was that?
Kelly Scott In his defense, every primitive culture known to man deified them: ancient China, Egypt, Australia, Asia... Going back in history, crocodiles have been more worshiped than Jesus.
Sheriff Hank Keough Is this supposed to make us take him more seriously?
Kelly Scott No, it's supposed to make you understand him.
Camping Expectations vs. Reality
Sheriff Hank Keough Tents were sent ahead. Should already be set up by the time we get there.
Kelly Scott Tents? We're staying in TENTS?
Sheriff Hank Keough I told you, two days we'd have to camp.
Kelly Scott Yes! Camp! But I thought that meant Ramada Inn. I never heard tents! Will there be toilets?
Jack Wells Maybe we should just take you back.
Kelly Scott Why? Because I prefer toilets? Maybe I should just wipe myself with some leafy little piece of poison oak. And then I can spend the whole day scratchin my ass, blendin in with the natives.

Crocodiles as Judges in Ancient Malenesia
Kelly Scott Did you want to be killed by it?
Hector Cyr You think I'm that nuts?
Kelly Scott Hector, what you just did, there had to be some sort of death wish going on.
Hector Cyr In ancient Malenesia people suspected of crime's would be thrown to the crocodiles. Crocodiles would decide. They would be the judge.
Kelly Scott Oh, so that was you wanting to be judged out there?
Hector Cyr Maybe I was, and so what? Is that too arbitrary? Better to be measured by my wealth? Better for me to get my self-esteem looking into the eyes of cheap sycophants craving a meal ticket? There was more honesty in those dragon's eyes. There was more dignity in those dragon's eyes...
Kelly Scott Jesus, Hector cut the shit.
Hector Cyr Aw, fuck it.
Frustration Over Unusual Experiences
Kelly Scott I will NOT calm down! This is the second time I've been hit with a severed head and I DON'T LIKE IT!
