Ten tiny typists
tripped through the tunnel.
Ten tiny typists
tripped through the tunnel.
Ten tiny typists...
You can't be in here.
Compliments of the house.
Enjoy it. It's delicious.
Sir. Sir.
WOMAN: Tell him
callbacks are next week
and he'll know when he knows.
HECTOR [CLEARS THROAT]:
Okay.
[HECTOR VOCALIZING]
ANNOUNCER:
Okay, Show Us What You Got.
Contestant 318, you are up next.
CONTESTANT:
He wasn't next.
Hello, where's your number?
I have no time to waste.
Magical magic. [COUGHS]
Wait a minute, man.
No, no, no.
Hector, we told you
after last time, no more.
HECTOR: That was just
my song-and-dance routine.
My new act will blow your minds.
Prepare yourself for
the Dance of a Thousand Pigeons.
Yes.
JUDGE:
Th-that's enough.
Thank you.
Maybe...
[SIGHS]
Maybe go back to singing.
Oh.
Security.
Seriously, dude?
Ditch the birds.
Show them something
they've never seen before.
Because whatever that was,
ain't working.
[]
Hi, I'm looking for something...
Something...
Something unusual.
But cute.
Really, really cute.
Also affordable.
That I can fit under my hat,
while I am dancing.
We got a special
on bird-eating spiders.
Okay, let's try this again.
Boa constrictor.
Vampire bat.
Might have a lemur in the back.
[SOFTLY]
A lemur.
[PETE RODRIGUEZ' "I LIKE ILIKE THAT" PLAYING ON RADIO]
[VOICE VOCALIZING]
I like it like that
I like it like that
Like that, baby
Oh, I said
I like it like that
I like it like that
Yeah, I like it like
Stomp your feet
If you think I'm neat
Clap your hands
If you want some more
Yeah, baby
Like it
Like it
Like it like
I like it like that
Yeah, I really like it
Like that...
A singing crocodile.
Baby, I like it like that

"Lyle." Lyle.
Hector P. Valenti,
star of stage and screen,
at your service.
[GIGGLES]
[LAUGHS]
[]
My reptilian friend,
welcome home.
We're family now.
Come.
HECTOR:
Okay, let's go.
[PLAYING PIANO]
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Come on, Lyle.
I know you don't talk,
but you can sing.

[COOS]
La-la-la-la-la
[GASPS]
You can pack your bags
And start skipping town
Hang up that hat
When the show shuts down
But when the world says
You ain't quite world-renowned
Don't count yourself out yet
La-la-la-la-la
When you hit that lonely
And lowest low
Well, up's the only way
Left to go
You're meant to reinvent
The show
So ain't you glad we met?
Turn that dull
And dusty solo
To a dazzling duet
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
Maybe we started
Pretty small
But take a look at us now
LYLE:
Take a look at us now
HECTOR: Suddenly
standing 10 feet tall
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
BOTH: Though we had
no way To stay afloat
We were scared they'd say
It was all she wrote
We're ending on
A sky-high note somehow
Buddy
You were all it took
BOTH:
So take a look at us now
You already owe me
for the last show.
Yes, but this one's special.
Then you pay me up-front.
In cash.
Cash might be a problem.
But I have something
far more valuable.
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
BOTH: When that perfect
plan's Going off the rails
A heap of trouble
Is on our tails
It's time to polish up
Those scales
And give it all you got
HECTOR:
If you're out of step
LYLE:
If you're out of sync
BOTH:
And you care too much
What those critics think
Well, when you find
Your missing link
They don't get
A second thought
'Cause in the center
Of the spotlight
We just might have found
Our spot
Trying our luck
With every leap
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
The road could be steady
Could be steep
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Thought we might be sunk
Upon first glance
Well, who'd have thunk
That we had a chance?
And life could be
A song and dance somehow
HECTOR:
Buddy, you were all it took
BOTH:
So take a look at us now
[]
STAGEHAND:
Thirty seconds to curtain.
Got a full house out there.
Break a leg.
So even when
You're terrified
Just smile a smile
A mile wide
'Cause, bud
When you and I collide
Standing side by side
We're gonna take
A great big bow
Won't you take a look
At us now
Give us a spotlight
And a crowd
Take a look at us now
Ready to sing our song
Out loud
Take a look at us now
[SOFTLY]
Lyle.
Lyle.
Lyle, sing.
Sing, Lyle.
Please.
Won't you take a look at us
Take a look at us
Take a look at us
[SQUEAKS SOFTLY]
[ALL LAUGHING]
Drop the curtain.
Come on.
[]
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
HECTOR:
What's that look for?
We've had a minor setback,
nothing more.
Yes.
I'll go on the road for a bit,
and make some cash.
Oh.
Here, take this.
It's got every song
you'll ever need.
The best companion there is.
Okay.
[ZIPS BAG]
Okay, I'll be back
in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
And remember, if anyone asks,
tell them you are stuffed.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[]
MAN 1: You got it?
MAN 2: Yeah, I'm good.
Couple more.
Straight to the living room,
brother.
Are we actually gonna be
living here?
I think we are.
This is a really bad idea.
Do you realize
Manhattan crime statistics
have seen
a year-on-year increase
of over 18 percent?
Most people move out
of the city when they have kids,
not into it.
Ready? Ahem.
And you must be the Primms.
I am so pleased to meet you.
I'm Carol
from Liberty Day School.
We're so excited to be here.
Your new Math Department chair.
We are very pleased to have you.
Oh, if you can just sign these
when you get the chance.
Oh, and this is our son Josh.
Plus, we haven't even talked
about the widespread use
of lead paint.
New city. Little nervous.
CAROL: Sure.
Oh, can I tell you how much
of a fan I am of your cookbooks?
Right? I can't wait to
see what you do next.
You know, I'm actually scaling
it back a bit work-wise,
so I could spend more time
with Josh.
And this is Mr. Grumps,
your downstairs neighbor.
Hey, how's it going?
The local housing administration
has established
strict noise abatement rules.
Make sure you read them.
Yeah, of course.
We certainly will,
won't we, darling?
Of course.
That is the most beautiful cat
I've ever seen.
Loretta is not a cat.
She's a Silver Shaded Persian
with an extremely delicate
constitution.
Do not feed her
or let her out of the building.
Why don't we go upstairs?
Yeah, come on.
I'll be watching them.
My lawyers
will be watching them too.
One foot out of place,
and they'll be out,
and you'll be forced to sell.
Okay?
I'd say his bark's worse
than his bite,
but to be honest, his bite's
pretty unpleasant too.
Amazing cat, though.
Can we have a pet?
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Josh, allergies.
JOSH [SIGHS]:
I know.
[WHISTLES]
CAROL:
FYI, there's a few leftovers
from a previous owner
in the attic.
Hopefully, they won't
get in your way.
Welcome home.
[BOXES CRASHING]
Babe, can I put this here?
You hate it.
No.
New York City.
Did we just move here?
I think we did.
You think Josh is gonna be okay?
Are you kidding me?
He's got his own floor up there.
He's probably having
the time of his life.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
[SIREN WARBLES OUTSIDE]
What was that?
AUTOMATED VOICE:
That is an ambulance.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
What was that?
That was a car tire.
[THUMP, OBJECTS CLATTER]
What was that?
I have no idea what that was.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Tofu kale breakfast bowl.
Swiss chard chickpea scramble.
Vegan turmeric latte.
I thought it was in...
Three different recipes
from three different books.
It's perfect.
Oh, honey, this looks amazing,
and healthy.
But I gotta go.
I can't be late. Where's Josh?
I'm taking Josh, remember?
[SIGHS]
Right.
Grab something.
Um...
Have you seen my glasses?
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Thank you.
Hey.
Yeah?
You got this, okay?
They're lucky to have you.
I'm lucky to have you.
Hey, don't forget to sign up
for wrestling.
Okay.
We gotta go.
Josh, there's time
for breakfast.
No, it's an 11-minute ride
on the subway
from East 86th
to West Farms Square,
plus a four-minute walk
at this end
and a seven-minute walk
at the other.
Assuming everything goes right.
[BEEPING]
Keep up, Mom.
All the way down to the end.
Then we just cross
this little avenue.
[SIREN WAILING]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
ANNOUNCER [OVER PA]:
This is 86th Street Station.
Excuse me.
Watch it.
Wrong side, kid.
Excuse me.
Move, move.
AUTOMATED VOICE [OVER PA]:
Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Don't worry, you got this.
STUDENT [LAUGHING]:
"You got this."
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]
Seriously?
GIRL 1:
What are you doing?
Do you not see us filming here?
BOY: Come on, man.
Do you mind?
Dude, are you serious?
GIRL 2:
He's literally filming.
Let's go, guys.
Watch it on Sweep
like everyone else, pumpkin.
Whatever.
Weirdo.
[]
Featherweights, you're up.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
And wrestle.
Look for the single leg.
[GROWLS]
Come on.

I'm Trudy, and I'm auditioning
for Show Us What You Got.
I could make you see
I'll kiss the cut
But won't change the pain out
I'm like a daydream
Cotton candy ice cream
Hey remember me
You'll always remember me

JOSH:
Loretta.
[JOSH CHUCKLES]
Go ahead. That milk's for you.
Hey.

[YOWLING]
No!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
[HISSES]
Wait. No, you have
to give her back.
[DOGS BARKING]
[SCREAMS]
Did you see that?
MAN:
Dude, that was crazy.
JOSH:
Wait.
[TIRES SCREECH, HORN HONKS]
Hey, watch where you're going!
DRIVER:
Hey!
[PANTING]
Hey, kid.
You gonna give me that phone,
or am I gonna have to take it
from you?
[LYLE SNARLING]
[ROARS]
[SCREAMING]
That was totally awesome.
[YOWLS]
[YOWLS]
Wait, you gotta show me
how to get back.
Okay, last box.
Why did we even bring
all this stuff?
Oh, don't eat those.
They're horrible.
What? You love these things.
You used to bake with cherries.
You made us put them
on our wedding cake.
I know I did,
but that was before I found out
what's in them.
They're full of
hydrogenated palm oil,
and sugar, and corn syrup.
We wanna set a good example for
Josh. We should throw them out.
Outside in the garbage.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey.
Those are my trash cans,
not your trash cans.
Yours are in the back.
Oh, right. I'm so sorry.
Sorry is right.
Don't come around
scattering suburban mediocrity
all over my trash.
I didn't know.
Someone's been feeding my cat.
I wanna know who.
Do you have any idea
how dangerous
irritable bowel syndrome can be
in a cat as valuable as Loretta?
If I catch you, or your wife,
or your horrible son
so much as looking at Loretta,
my lawyers will be all over you.
Do I make myself clear?
Now, hold on a minute.
Yes or no?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Great.
Oh, please, use more of the hot
water. Help yourself.
There's plenty to go around.
What? Hot water?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hey, hi.
You awake yet?
I, um...
Here.
This is my Plus Four
Strength card.
It's the most valuable card
in my deck,
and I want you to have it.
MRS. PRIMM:
Josh, where are you?
Okay, uh, I gotta go.
And I'll be back after 3, okay?
An actual pet.
Hey, Josh, let's go.
Taking a shortcut.
What?
[DOOR OPENS]
Josh.
Wait.
[SIGHS]
Josh?
JOSH:
This way.
[BEEPING]
Josh.
Hey.
Josh.
What's up?
[EXHALES]
Don't worry. I got this. Heh.

[SIGHS]
I wanna stop
And thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
And thank you, baby
Oh, yes
How sweet it is
To be loved by you
It's just like sugar
Sometimes
How sweet it is
MR. PRIMM:
Oh, your book.
It's beautiful.
That cake's gonna make you
famous.
[PEOPLE CHEERING, CHATTERING]
That was a modest bite.
Wait, wait. No, no, no.
MR. PRIMM:
How about another taste?
GROUP:
And thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
And thank you, baby

[SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Hey, Animal Planet.
What's with all the books?
[STAMMERING]
You won't believe me.
[SIGHS]
I, uh, kind of have a...
pet crocodile.
[SCOFFS]
Nobody has a pet crocodile.
Told you.
And absolutely nobody
has a pet crocodile in the city.
My dad had to do free dental
work for the mayor
just to get my pet rattlesnake
allowed in our building.
I-I saw you on Sweep.
I mean, like, not...
I didn't... It was...
You're kind of a weirdo,
aren't you?
Yeah.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
[PHONE CHIMES]
I've always approached our life
like one of my recipes.
When things get hard, we stick
with the ingredients that work.
But now it's all different,
and I still feel bad.
About what?
Josh growing up.
Oh, honey.
I know that I should
feel happy, but...
[SIGHS]
I wish I just didn't feel
so left out.
Hey.
You're a huge part
of Josh's life,
and an amazing mother.
All right?
Hey.
We were lost until you found us.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh.
[MEOWS]
Whoa. Ha, ha, ha.
What...?
Uh...
You want me to...?
Okay, okay. See, the thing is
I've never dumpster dived
before, so...
Okay.
Okay.
Whoa.
What...?
So gross.
[PURRING]
Let's see.
You like noodles?
[COUGHS]
Ugh!
[CAN CLATTERS]
[CLATTERING]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, my God.
[]
Oh, no, that's okay.
I have sort of quite
a specific diet,
which is mostly Bagel Bites,
so I'm...
See, I'm not sure
if that's gonna taste...
Wow, that's actually amazing.
I...
I've never had anything
like that before.
Where are you from?
My mom's family is from Taiwan.
Well, she's actually my stepmom.
My mom died when I was 2.
[]
My dad says I got her nose.
I can do this really, like,
crazy thing with my knuckles
where if I, like, go like that,
I can, like, crack them all.
Do you have knuckles?
What is that?
[SNIFFS]
Uh...
You don't talk, do you?
In the shadow of the city
When the days
Have disappeared
Some might say
It's sort of gritty
Full of faces to be feared
But there are wonders
That are waiting
Underneath the midnight sky
We got the stars
Illuminating
It's a place for you and I
A little space for you and I
At the top
Of the world tonight
Where no one ever
Has to hide
At the top
Of the world tonight
You're sitting safe
And starry-eyed
There is treasure
You can find
In something
Someone left behind
At the top
Of the world tonight
It can stay this way
At least
Until the morning light
Through the dark
There's someone singing
Like an old familiar song
Like you fell into a melody
That's bringing you right here
Where you can belong
And there are wonders
That are waiting
Underneath the midnight sky
And by the stars
We're navigating
To a place for you and I
At the top
Of the world tonight
Where no one ever
Has to hide
At the top of the world
Tonight
You're sitting safe
And starry-eyed
There is treasure
You can find
In something
Someone left behind
At the top of the world
Tonight
It can stay this way
At least
Until the morning light
At the top of the world
The top of the world
The top of the world tonight
Yeah!
[WHOOPS]
[ROARS]
[LAUGHS]
[]
GRUMPS:
Yes, it's an emergency.
The city must do something about
these double-wide strollers.
You know, just because
somebody made the mistake
of having a second child
doesn't mean that I should be
forced off the sidewalk,
into the...
[RETCHING]
...streets.
Mumsykins?
[FARTING]
MR. PRIMM:
Have a great day.
You too, honey.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Josh, time to wake up.
Come on.
Josh?
[SNORING]
All right, Josh, come on.
Let's go.
[SCREAMING]
Mom, no, hold on.
Oh, my God.
He's safe.
No, Mom, it's okay.
[SCREAMS]
[MRS. PRIMM PANTING]
I wanna stop
And thank you, baby
I just wanna stop
And thank you, baby
Oh, yeah
How sweet it is
To be loved by you
Oh, yeah
How sweet it is
To be loved by you
Mom, I swear,
he's not dangerous.
He's a crocodile.
Okay, yes, crocodiles
are dangerous.
They bite through bone and have
a taste for human flesh.
But he's not like that.
He wears a scarf.
I have to tell your father.
No, he'll have him taken away.
I'll agree with him.
N-no.
[LINE TRILLING]
MR. PRIMM: Thanks for
calling. Leave a message.
Lyle is a good crocodile.
He's just lonely, like I was.
And he cares about me.
Do you realize
how different things have been
since I met him?
I made a friend.
Mom, I feel like I belong here,
because of Lyle.
Josh.
You won't even see him.
He's nocturnal.
And he can sing.
It's, like, how he talks.
[RINGING]
Just don't do anything
until I get home tonight.
That's all I'm asking. Please.
MRS. PRIMM: Hey.
Hey, honey, sorry.
Did you call?
I just...
wanted to wish you a great day.
Oh, thanks.
I could use that. These city
kids have a lot of energy.
All right, I'll see you at home.
I love you.
I can't believe I just did that.
Everyone. Yeah, that's nice.
Can we sit down, though, please?
Hey, guys,
let's not throw stuff.
Can we just settle down?
Just a little bit, okay?

[STEVIE WONDER'S "SIR DUKE"
PLAYING UPSTAIRS]
Just because a record
Has a groove
Don't make it in the groove

Oh, oh.

Start to move
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over
People, yeah
Over
Over
People...

[WHIMPERS]
[]
MRS. PRIMM:
This isn't happening.
Crocodiles don't belong
in houses.
[PANTING]
When you're cooking
Something up
And only trying
The tried-and-true
You stick to the predictable
You've known
Measure out the same amounts
Every teaspoon
Every ounce [GASPS]
No surprises when the rules
Are set in stone
But when the sugar
Hits the fan
You make a mess
Of your perfect plan
And you're facing the face
Of something strange and new
If it's not
What you had prepared
In the scramble
You can't get scared
Let something wild
And wonderful break through
Start ripping up the recipe
Let go of how it has to be
You forget
About right and wrong
When you lose yourself
In this song
It's perfect unexpectedly
No...
When you rip up the recipe
Doo-doo-doo
[GASPS]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Living life inside the lines
Safe and simple
By the book
You keep sweeping
The uncertainty aside
But an unfamiliar spice
Might bring something
Extra nice
Something twice as good
As what you would've tried
BOTH: 'Cause when
the sugar Hits the fan
You make a mess
Of your perfect plan
And you're facing the face
Of something strange and new
Something's ready
To wreck your day
You can pray
That it goes away
Or let something wild
And wonderful break through
Start ripping up the recipe
Let go of how it has to be
No, you can't plan it
In advance
Gotta lose yourself
In the dance
It's perfect unexpectedly
Mom?
When you rip up the recipe
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Start ripping up the recipe
And make a little mess
With me
You forget
About right and wrong
When you lose yourself
In this song
It's perfect unexpectedly
When you rip up the recipe
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
When you rip up the recipe
JOSH: Lyle?
MRS. PRIMM: Lyle, all right.
[WHIRRING]
Three cameras, all mounted
on the roof's perimeter.
No one's getting in or out
without you knowing about it.
Perfect. I just know
they're up to something.
No one's ever
putting anything nasty
in Mummy's tummy ever again.
Are they, Mumsykins?
No. No.
N-O.
That's how we spell
"no, no, no."
I'm just gonna...
Yeah.
[]
MRS. PRIMM:
Mmm!
[CRUNCHING]
Mmm!
Try that.
Really?
We should save some for Lyle.
MR. PRIMM: Hey, guys.
[GASPS]
Good morning, sweetheart.
Hey, Dad.
Pizza. For breakfast.
And where'd you get caviar?
JOSH:
Can I have a...?
[BELCHES]
No.
Sorry. Sorry.
Excuse me.
It's more like...
[BELCHES]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh, um...
See you.
Let's not get any food...
[HUMMING "RIP UP THE RECIPE"]
Um, honey?
Yeah?
I've, um, noticed
that you've been...
happy, uh, recently.
Which is great.
Mm-hm.
And I wondered if that,
you know,
hasn't been because of me.
I mean, is-is...?
Is there something
I need to know?
Oh, sweet pea.
I mean, is there...
someone else?
Not exactly.
[SIGHS]
It's time to tell your father.
Tell me what?
[TOILET FLUSHES]
[]
Go, go, go...
Hey, Dad, wait, it's fine.
It's not what you think.
All right, this way.
Hide in here.
Dad, it's okay.
It is not okay.
There's a crocodile
in the house.
That's what I thought too,
but he's not a normal crocodile.
What are you talking about?
Everybody, get out of here!
[YELPS]
[STAMMERING]
[GASPS]
[WHISTLES]
Follow me! Let's go!
[GROANS]
[YELPS]
Oh...
There's a crocodile...
May I wish you good day, sir.
Hector P. Valenti,
at your service.
What?
Where should I put my bags?
Uh, I'm not sure I...
Oh, dear. You didn't know
I was coming?
No worries.
While you call
the school authorities,
I'll make myself at home.
[SIGHS]
MR. PRIMM:
But you're... I'm, uh...
Please, please, be my guest.
It's been a very long
and difficult trip.
I'd hate to put my back out
in a moment of...
Oh, my.
Oh, Lyle.
Look at the size of you.
Lyle.
Yes.
[CHUCKLES]
Ah.
[WHEEZING]
[BREATHLESSLY]
I missed you too.
Lyle.
Oh, no, no, no. We had no idea.
Nobody told us anything.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much. Bye.
What did they say?
Well, this was his family's
brownstone,
but he somehow lost it in
some kind of a business deal.
He's figuring out
some kind of new show,
and there's a clause
that says somehow
he can stay here 15 days
out of the year.
What?
Oh! This cannot be happening.
We have a crocodile,
and now David Copperfield,
living in our attic.
This is definitely not okay.
And can you please
stop drawing him?
It's weird.
[]
Yes.
Yes.
[HECTOR LAUGHING]

[HECTOR GIGGLES]
[HECTOR SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
I hate you.
I hate them so much.
[HECTOR LAUGHING HEARTILY]
HECTOR:
Express yourself
Express yourself
Oh!
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
If there's any breakfast,
I'll take eggs.
Any way you wanna make them.
But not scrambled. Or fried.
Thank you.
Whatever you do
Unh
LYLE:
Do it good
Unh
Whatever you do
Do, do, do, do, yeah
Express yourself
Oh, yeah
Oh, do it
Oh, do it
Do it to it, yeah
Go on and do it
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah
Okay, family day. What do
you think, history museum?
Go there?
Sure.
There he is.
I'm just gonna...
So, Dad's not coming.
Dad needs to let off
a little steam.
He doesn't like Hector, does he?
Oh, well, Hector is
a very colorful character.
I don't know about you,
but I could eat a horse
if you spread butter on it.
You're a Gators fan?
Don't be ridiculous.
Smoke and mirrors, my friend.
Smoke and mirrors.
How else do you think
Lyle can join us?
[CHUCKLES]
[SQUEALS]
HECTOR:
Shall we?
Are you sure this is safe?
Who wants to be safe?
No, "safe" is
a repellent little word.
Expunge it from your mind.
We are here to live, yes?
And living
is a dangerous business.
You're not worried
that some people might think
he's a real crocodile?
Ah. Nothing could be
of less importance
than what other people think.
Let people stare.
For once in their dreary lives,
they have something wonderful
to look at.
Look, look.
Hey, we made it
We're here
Time to get this party...
HECTOR:
Here it is.
Brain freeze.
[CHUCKLES]
Another one.

Oh, no, you're going down!
You're going down!
Yeah!

Let's go, Dawgs!

What the...?
[WHINES]
Just one little word from you
And we're coming through
[SNEEZES]
You already know
Hey, we made it
We're here

We're right on time

Oh, perfect timing.
You could be on my team.
Hey.
Oh, uh, I'm okay.
I'm a little exhausted. I'll go
upstairs and take a shower.
Hector says he thinks
the hot water might be out.
HECTOR [CHUCKLES]:
My bad.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING

Good morning.
[TWEETS]
Let's try that again.
STUDENTS:
Good morning, Mr. Primm.
[WHISTLING A TUNE]
Dad, you have to come see this.
Is that a white rabbit?
HECTOR:
We can start the show of magic.
Can you please pass me those?
MRS. PRIMM: Oh. This?
Thank you. Yes, I need those.
Thank you very much.
Now, now that we have the bunny,
we can start our magic show.
Front row for you, sir.
Oh.
Behold, the power of illusion.
Okay? Nothing here,
nothing over there.
Follow the card carefully.
[JOSH GASPS]
[ALL EXCLAIMING]
Magical magic.
[LAUGHING]
[ALL LAUGHING]
So where are they?
Here they are.
[EXCLAIMING]
[LAUGHS]
You have a nine,
and you have a two.
[PRIMMS CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Whoo!
MR. PRIMM:
Hey, play us one of your songs.
JOSH:
Yeah, play something.
MRS. PRIMM:
That would be amazing. Please?
Hm.
Hmm...
[CLEARS THROAT]
Maybe we started
Pretty small
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Suddenly standing
10 feet tall
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
BOTH: Though we had
no way To stay afloat
We were scared they'd say
It was all she wrote
We're ending
On a sky-high note
Somehow
Buddy, you were all it took
So take a look at us now
[PRIMMS CLAPPING]
MRS. PRIMM: Wow!
[WHISTLING]
Whoo!
[]
Don't you see what that means,
Lyle?
That was an audience,
and you performed.
You performed, Lyle.
Yes.
Lyle. Lyle?
We can do it.
We can do it. We can
take our show on the road.
You and me,
like we always planned.
So I made a couple mistakes
Got a few things wrong
We can claw right back
To where we belong
It's just us two
And a soaring song
Redoing our debut
We get to finish
What we started
It's a brand-new me and you
A brand-new me and you
BOTH:
Thought we might be sunk
Upon first glance
Well, who'd have thunk?
Here's a second chance
And life could be
A song and dance somehow
So take a look at us now
[LAUGHING]
Let's go. Let's go.
[BABBLING]
Where are you going?
Why is he all dressed up?
Well, when the world
sees Lyle sing and dance,
we're gonna be rich.
Rich.
What?
But he doesn't need money.
He needs a family and a home.
This is the business of show,
Josh.
Because Lyle is not
just a crocodile.
He's a showman.
Bye.
Does he even want that?
Josh, tonight is our big night.
The night for what?
The preview for potential
investors in our new show.
Evangelyne will get us there
just in time.
Who's Evangelyne?
Hector?
[REVVING]
Ah. Wish us luck.
Take a look at us now.
[]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey, how'd it go?
Oh, the stage can be
a cruel mistress.
I thought Lyle had changed,
but he hasn't.
He froze.
Stage fright.
He still won't sing
for an audience.
Just so you know,
I don't care if you sing or not.
Either way,
I think you're awesome.
[]
Just give him a little time,
okay?
He's gonna be okay.
Thought we would make
A perfect pair
Take a look at us now
Thought there was a spotlight
We could share
Take a look at us now
I won't pretend this
isn't something of a blow,
my old friend.
One or two loans
will now require
a radical renegotiation,
you know?
But nothing I can't smooth over
with a little Valenti charm.
[CHUCKLES]
Ciao.
Take a look at us
Now
CAROL: It's the school's
brownstone, not yours.
I'm done.
I did not sign up for this.
Mr. Primm, for you.
Oh, good,
it's the man of the hour.
You're a member
of the neighborhood?
Time to earn your spot.
Okay, great.
Get the money.
[GROANS]
Show business.
Oh, please, sit.
Come in.
I don't wanna be unneighborly.
Really, I don't.
And no one loves music
and singing and dancing
more than me, you know.
Just not at 3:00
in the morning.
So if you could find it
in your hearts
to sign the petition,
and override the school's power
to allow awful families
like this...
Okay, now hold on
just a second...
[THUMPING]
No.
Well...
MR. PRIMM: That's just Josh.
Practicing wrestling.
Trampoline.
On a trampoline.
He wrestles on a trampoline
we'll get rid of.
Sure, but if it's not that,
and it's something else,
something that you're hiding
from us,
something that you think
you'll get in trouble for,
well, I believe
now is the time to share it.
[KNOCKING]
Do you mind if I join you?
Valenti.
Alistair Grumps.
Alistair Grumps.
How in the world are you?
[GASPS]
[EXCLAIMING]
Wait, is that the same sofa?
You literally have not changed
a thing.
[CHUCKLES]
You see, Alistair and I
grew up together.
Have you been drinking?
Yes, I have.
I always feel like
the world looks better
with a glass of champagne.
A glass of champagne.
Get out.
This is none of your business.
It is, it is, because if
the Primms are the problem,
then I, as their house guest,
I'm part of the problem too,
am I not?
A very large part.
HECTOR: With your permission,
I'd like to be part
of the solution as well.
Would you mind, please?
Thank you.
Delicious. Per usual,
Hector, you're overstepping.
HECTOR: We are not the only
ones who overstepped the mark.
We, for instance,
haven't mounted security cameras
throughout the neighborhood,
filming other residents
without their consent.
[PEOPLE MURMURING]
[SCOFFS]
No permission asked?
None.
No.
No. Were releases signed?
No.
HECTOR: No.
Well, if it was me,
I'd go straight to the police.
Mm-hm.
[SCOFFS]
Out, all of you.
Everyone, get out of here.
Uh...
Come on.
This meeting will be reconvened
at a later date.
Thank you so much for coming.
WOMAN:
Excuse me.
Not you.
I can assure you, Alistair,
we have absolutely
nothing to talk about. Heh.
Why don't we see about that?
MR. PRIMM: Hector had
this whole performance.
MRS. PRIMM:
Even Marjory was miffed.
Mr. Grumps's jaw was...
She was so upset.
Hector.
Hector.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, thank you.
Oh! Thank you so much.
That was incredible.
No, no, no.
You have all been extraordinary.
It was the least I could do.
Thank you, really.
So I have to make myself
presentable.
I'll be back in two shakes
of a lamb's tail, okay?

Where is he?
OFFICER 2: I'm gonna look
around back. Just in case.
Could be a big one.
[LYLE ROARS]

Stay back, stay back.
No, no. Whoa! Josh.
JOSH:
He won't hurt you.

MR. PRIMM: Hey!

You have to sing.
Now.
MR. PRIMM:
No.
MRS. PRIMM:
No.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Watch your step there.
Easy.
No.
You're clear.
[PANTING]
Josh.
I'll talk to him.
I knew it.
I knew you were up to no good.
Hiding a crocodile.
You've broken so many rules.
Wait till I tell your school.
They'll throw you
out of the city.
You'll be gone,
all of you, by Thanksgiving.

Lyle.
Hey, hey, buddy.
Hey, are you okay?
I came as soon as it opened.
Lyle.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, no hands through the bars.
Thank you.
You, get back.
We have to do something.
He must hate it here.
Look, Josh,
they understand crocodiles.
They're gonna look after him.
Then why aren't they giving him
pork-and-rosemary vol-au-vents,
or chicken Milanese
with a dash of salsa verde?
He's a crocodile, sweetheart.
He's a very special crocodile,
but he is still a crocodile.
He has to learn to live
with the other crocodiles.
No, no. We can break him out.
Josh.
It's not a bank.
It's a zoo. How hard can it be?
Josh, stop. Okay?
We'll come visit Lyle every day,
I promise.
We'll speak to the zoo,
and ask them
to let us bring Lyle
his favorite treats.
There's only so much we can do.
Not all problems
have a solution, Josh.
No, you don't get
to decide that.
Not for me. Not anymore.
My whole life, I've been scared,
because you've been scared.
But I'm not scared anymore.
Because of Lyle.
He changed everything for me.
And not just for me.
For you too. So...
I'm not gonna leave here.
I'm not just gonna leave here
without...
Leave here without...
Josh?
Wait, Josh, Josh, Josh.
Oh, my God.
Josh, are you okay?
Josh. Get his inhaler.
It's in his jacket.
Call 911.
[SIREN CHIRPS]
He had a panic attack
that triggered his asthma.
It's good he had
his inhaler with him.
He's gonna be fine.
You got nothing to worry about.
Thank you, sir.
You okay, bud?
Yeah.
You sure?
Yeah.
[]
We had nights
Of endless music
We were dizzy dancing
Till the dawn
We were free
Singing sweet harmonies
With the city
But maybe that was
Someone else's song
Back to earth again
You knew
Where this was headed
And honestly
You're better off
Better here
Where you belong
You got caught up
In the colors
You got wrapped up
In the ride
You thought the feeling
Was forever
And the stars
Were on your side
It was lovely
While it lasted
But it wasn't meant to stay
Still you let yourself
Get carried away
I guess I let myself
Get carried away
We got carried away
Carried away
Got carried away
Carried away
So we got mixed up
In the madness
But wasn't it a perfect mess
We made?
Well, you live
And you learn
You return
To the safe and the simple
And behind our walls
We fall back into place
Back to earth again
You're through
With pretending
'Cause this is how
The ending goes
Now you're here
Where you belong
We got caught up
In the colors
We got wrapped up
In the ride
We thought the feeling
Was forever
And the stars
Were on our side
It was lovely
While it lasted
But it wasn't meant to stay
We just let ourselves
Get carried away
We got carried away
Carried away
Got carried away
Carried away
Carried away
Lost in a fantasy
Of all we were gonna be
Carried away
Carried away
It was lovely
While it lasted
It was never meant to stay
But we let ourselves
Get carried away
I guess I let myself
Get carried away
[STUDENTS CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]
Hey.
Can you believe it?
I still can't believe it.
We're gonna be on
Show Us What You Got.
That's great.
You deserve it.
Listen.
Don't give up.
When Malfoy escaped, I thought
I'd never see him again either.
Malfoy? The pet rattlesnake
my crazy Uncle Ernie gave me?
He was gone for six weeks.
We all thought he was dead.
Until the neighbors found him in
the back of their toaster oven.
Miracles do happen, Josh.
[]
There he goes.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Mom, I'm fine.
I know you're fine.
I'm gonna make sure
you stay that way.
Come on.
Where you going?
Taking the trash out.
Okay.
Be careful.
Yeah, be careful.
[SIGHS]
How could you do it?
I've asked myself the same
question over and over, Josh.
But, you see, I've got nothing.
[CLEARS THROAT]
No family, no friends.
Then why do you keep
leaving him?
When Lyle choked,
I had to go back
and make it on my own.
Again. Yes.
But I couldn't, because
no one's interested in...
me.
And I owe a lot of people
a lot of money, Josh.
A lot of money.
So when Alistair Grumps
offered me that cash,
I had to take it.
Out of need, out of fear,
out of weakness.
And I've hated myself
for doing it.
Good, because I hate you too.
But this is not about me,
or about you. It's about Lyle.
And you know as well as I do,
we can't leave him in that zoo.
So if you have
the stomach for it,
if you have the fire
in your belly I know you have,
you have,
you, young man,
are going to help me
break that crocodile
out of the zoo.
Yes, because we have
magic on our side.
The power of illusion.
Magical magic.
There is no magic, Hector.
I'll be at the East Gate
at 4 a.m.
Four a.m. Be there.

May I have some assistance,

I thought I had this trick down,
but I've got myself

Some sort of handcuff trick?
This looks crazy.
Maybe if you move that way...
Hey.
Hey, hey.

You have to get me out of here.
Josh?
Come on. Josh.
Lyle.
Lyle.
Lyle.
Help me. Help me.
Lyle.
No, no, no.
Josh?
You have to talk to him.
Tell him to help me.
It's not me that has to talk
to him, Hector.
It's you.
But...
I-I realize I may not
have always acted
in the best way possible, Lyle.
But I showed you the world.
I introduced you
to white truffle oil.
I taught you the moonwalk.
[SNARLS]
Okay, fine, fine.
I apologize.
My behavior was unforgivable.
I used you, and I abandoned you.
And it's my fault you're here.
But, please, come back with me.
Come back to where you belong.
Back to...
Back to Josh.
And the Primms.
To your family.

of your plan is better.
Not better. It's perfect.
I've got Evangelyne

We can outrun anyone on her.
But Lyle can't just keep
running.
Of course he can. You'd be
amazed what you can outrun.
Ex-wives.
OFFICER: Hands up.
Creditors.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Park rangers.
No, no, this is not a life.
We have to show people

We gotta show them...

Go, take Lyle. I've got this.

Sorry, not this one. Uh...

What's he doing in Times Square?

Yeah, I need your help.
Where is it?
Yeah, I'm at the backstage door.
What are you doing here?

Yes, and we need

[AUDIENCE CHEERING WILDLY]
All right.
[LAUGHS]
[CROWD MURMURING]
The point I'm making,
Your Honor,
is that nothing has changed.
So the crocodile sang.
So what?
It wasn't even that good.
[CROWD GRUMBLING]
Oh, you're just impressed
because it was a crocodile.
It was still
broken out of the zoo.
And according
to every single one
of the city's
very own regulations,
it cannot be kept
in a domestic residence.
[BOOING]
JUDGE: Order, order.
It's okay.
[GAVEL POUNDING]
I'm afraid the plaintiff
is right.
[CROWD GROANS]
[DOOR OPENS]
HECTOR: But who
wants to be merely right
when you can be
fabulously triumphant instead?
Good morning, Your Honor.
Excuse me.
I have some documents here
that were stolen from me
which are of vital importance
to this case.
What documents?
The original deeds
to the house
on East 88th Street.
How'd you get those?
Those were under my bed.
I was led to them
by a new friend. Meow.
Why?
Let me see that.
Of course.
Those papers date from the time
of my maternal grandmother,
Evelyn T. Valenti.
Not just the woman who built
the house on East 88th Street,
but the woman who was the
founder of the New York Zoo.
GRUMPS: This is nonsense.
What?
This is a special deed granted
by the City of New York.
In acknowledgment to my
grandmother's contributions
to the city, and to accommodate
her fascination for the animals.
JUDGE: "The house on East
88th Street is hereby granted
a special waiver to house
any exotic creature as a pet."
[CROWD GASPING]
Certainly Your Honor
cannot be stupid enough
to consider this.
Approved.
Yes.
[ALL CHEERING]
Your Honor, this is ridiculous.
I demand a mistrial.
This is absurd.
[LORETTA MEOWS]
Wait a second. Loretta?
Hey.
Loretta?
[]
Keep your filthy hands off
of my Loretta!
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
All right, everybody, let's go.
Relax, we got time.
I'm gonna get the sunscreen.
Wait, wait. What's all of this?
Where...?
Hector, good morning.
Where are you going?
Get in the car, guys.
Hold on. I've already got Lyle
over 200 bookings.
Two hundred bookings
in New York alone.
Once we roll out
a national tour,
we're gonna be swimming in cash.
We're not going
on a national tour.
We're going on vacation.
On a what?

Was doing a thing
Called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids

Hey, Loretta.
We were hopping and bopping
To the Crocodile Rock, yeah
Croc Rocking
Is something shocking
When your feet

And I guess I never will
Oh, Lordy, mama

We just might have found
Our spot
Trying our luck

The road could be steady
Could be steep

Are we actually gonna be

I think we are.
This is a really bad idea.
Do you realize
Manhattan crime statistics
have seen
a year-on-year increase
of over 18 percent?
Most people move out
of the city when they have kids,
not into it.
Ready? Ahem.
And you must be the Primms.
I am so pleased to meet you.
I'm Carol

We're so excited to be here.
Your new Math Department chair.
We are very pleased to have you.
Oh, if you can just sign these

Oh, and this is our son Josh.
Plus, we haven't even talked
about the widespread use
of lead paint.
New city. Little nervous.
CAROL: Sure.
Oh, can I tell you how much
of a fan I am of your cookbooks?
Right? I can't wait to
see what you do next.
You know, I'm actually scaling
it back a bit work-wise,
so I could spend more time
with Josh.
And this is Mr. Grumps,
your downstairs neighbor.
Hey, how's it going?
The local housing administration
has established
strict noise abatement rules.
Make sure you read them.
Yeah, of course.
We certainly will,
won't we, darling?
Of course.
That is the most beautiful cat
I've ever seen.
Loretta is not a cat.
She's a Silver Shaded Persian
with an extremely delicate
constitution.
Do not feed her
or let her out of the building.
Why don't we go upstairs?
Yeah, come on.
I'll be watching them.
My lawyers
will be watching them too.
One foot out of place,
and they'll be out,
and you'll be forced to sell.
Okay?
I'd say his bark's worse
than his bite,
but to be honest, his bite's
pretty unpleasant too.
Amazing cat, though.
Can we have a pet?

Josh, allergies.
JOSH [SIGHS]:

You hate it.
No.

Let something wild

the sugar Hits the fan
You make a mess
Of your perfect plan
And you're facing the face

And wonderful break through
Start ripping up the recipe
Let go of how it has to be

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Start ripping up the recipe
And make a little mess
With me
You forget
About right and wrong
When you lose yourself
In this song
It's perfect unexpectedly
When you rip up the recipe
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
When you rip up the recipe
JOSH: Lyle?
MRS. PRIMM: Lyle, all right.
[WHIRRING]
Three cameras, all mounted
on the roof's perimeter.
No one's getting in or out
without you knowing about it.
Perfect. I just know
they're up to something.
No one's ever
putting anything nasty
in Mummy's tummy ever again.
Are they, Mumsykins?
No. No.
N-O.
That's how we spell
"no, no, no."
I'm just gonna...
Yeah.
[]
MRS. PRIMM:
Mmm!
[CRUNCHING]
Mmm!
Try that.
Really?
We should save some for Lyle.
MR. PRIMM: Hey, guys.
[GASPS]
Good morning, sweetheart.
Hey, Dad.
Pizza. For breakfast.
And where'd you get caviar?
JOSH:
Can I have a...?
[BELCHES]
No.
Sorry. Sorry.
Excuse me.
It's more like...
[BELCHES]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh, um...
See you.
Let's not get any food...
[HUMMING "RIP UP THE RECIPE"]
Um, honey?
Yeah?
I've, um, noticed
that you've been...
happy, uh, recently.
Which is great.
Mm-hm.
And I wondered if that,
you know,
hasn't been because of me.
I mean, is-is...?
Is there something
I need to know?
Oh, sweet pea.
I mean, is there...
someone else?
Not exactly.
[SIGHS]
It's time to tell your father.
Tell me what?
[TOILET FLUSHES]
[]
Go, go, go...
Hey, Dad, wait, it's fine.
It's not what you think.
All right, this way.
Hide in here.
Dad, it's okay.
It is not okay.
There's a crocodile
in the house.
That's what I thought too,
but he's not a normal crocodile.
What are you talking about?
Everybody, get out of here!
[YELPS]
[STAMMERING]
[GASPS]
[WHISTLES]
Follow me! Let's go!
[GROANS]
[YELPS]
Oh...
There's a crocodile...
May I wish you good day, sir.
Hector P. Valenti,
at your service.
What?
Where should I put my bags?
Uh, I'm not sure I...
Oh, dear. You didn't know
I was coming?
No worries.
While you call
the school authorities,
I'll make myself at home.
[SIGHS]
MR. PRIMM:
But you're... I'm, uh...
Please, please, be my guest.
It's been a very long
and difficult trip.
I'd hate to put my back out
in a moment of...
Oh, my.
Oh, Lyle.
Look at the size of you.
Lyle.
Yes.
[CHUCKLES]
Ah.
[WHEEZING]
[BREATHLESSLY]
I missed you too.
Lyle.
Oh, no, no, no. We had no idea.
Nobody told us anything.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much. Bye.
What did they say?
Well, this was his family's
brownstone,
but he somehow lost it in
some kind of a business deal.
He's figuring out
some kind of new show,
and there's a clause
that says somehow
he can stay here 15 days
out of the year.
What?
Oh! This cannot be happening.
We have a crocodile,
and now David Copperfield,
living in our attic.
This is definitely not okay.
And can you please
stop drawing him?
It's weird.
[]
Yes.
Yes.

I hate you.
I hate them so much.
[HECTOR LAUGHING HEARTILY]
HECTOR:
Express yourself
Express yourself
Oh!
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
If there's any breakfast,
I'll take eggs.
Any way you wanna make them.
But not scrambled. Or fried.
Thank you.
Whatever you do
Unh
LYLE:
Do it good
Unh
Whatever you do
Do, do, do, do, yeah
Express yourself
Oh, yeah
Oh, do it
Oh, do it
Do it to it, yeah
Go on and do it
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah
Okay, family day. What do
you think, history museum?
Go there?
Sure.
There he is.
I'm just gonna...
So, Dad's not coming.
Dad needs to let off
a little steam.
He doesn't like Hector, does he?
Oh, well, Hector is
a very colorful character.
I don't know about you,
but I could eat a horse
if you spread butter on it.
You're a Gators fan?
Don't be ridiculous.
Smoke and mirrors, my friend.
Smoke and mirrors.
How else do you think
Lyle can join us?
[CHUCKLES]
[SQUEALS]
HECTOR:
Shall we?
Are you sure this is safe?
Who wants to be safe?
No, "safe" is
a repellent little word.
Expunge it from your mind.
We are here to live, yes?
And living
is a dangerous business.
You're not worried
that some people might think
he's a real crocodile?
Ah. Nothing could be
of less importance
than what other people think.
Let people stare.
For once in their dreary lives,
they have something wonderful
to look at.
Look, look.
Hey, we made it
We're here
Time to get this party...
HECTOR:
Here it is.
Brain freeze.
[CHUCKLES]
Another one.

Oh, no, you're going down!
You're going down!
Yeah!

Let's go, Dawgs!

What the...?
[WHINES]
Just one little word from you
And we're coming through
[SNEEZES]
You already know
Hey, we made it
We're here

We're right on time

[MRS. PRIMM & JOSH
CHATTERING]
Oh, perfect timing.
You could be on my team.
Hey.
Oh, uh, I'm okay.
I'm a little exhausted. I'll go
upstairs and take a shower.
Hector says he thinks
the hot water might be out.
HECTOR [CHUCKLES]:
My bad.

Not today.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING

Good morning.
[TWEETS]
Let's try that again.
STUDENTS:
Good morning, Mr. Primm.
[WHISTLING A TUNE]
Dad, you have to come see this.
Is that a white rabbit?
HECTOR:
We can start the show of magic.
Can you please pass me those?
MRS. PRIMM: Oh. This?
Thank you. Yes, I need those.
Thank you very much.
Now, now that we have the bunny,
we can start our magic show.
Front row for you, sir.
Oh.
Behold, the power of illusion.
Okay? Nothing here,
nothing over there.
Follow the card carefully.
[JOSH GASPS]
[ALL EXCLAIMING]
Magical magic.
[LAUGHING]
[ALL LAUGHING]
So where are they?
Here they are.
[EXCLAIMING]
[LAUGHS]
You have a nine,
and you have a two.
[PRIMMS CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Whoo!
MR. PRIMM:
Hey, play us one of your songs.
JOSH:
Yeah, play something.
MRS. PRIMM:
That would be amazing. Please?
Hm.
Hmm...
[CLEARS THROAT]
Maybe we started
Pretty small
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Suddenly standing
10 feet tall
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
BOTH: Though we had
no way To stay afloat
We were scared they'd say
It was all she wrote
We're ending
On a sky-high note
Somehow
Buddy, you were all it took
So take a look at us now
[PRIMMS CLAPPING]
MRS. PRIMM: Wow!
[WHISTLING]
Whoo!
[]
Don't you see what that means,
Lyle?
That was an audience,
and you performed.
You performed, Lyle.
Yes.
Lyle. Lyle?
We can do it.
We can do it. We can
take our show on the road.
You and me,
like we always planned.
So I made a couple mistakes
Got a few things wrong
We can claw right back
To where we belong
It's just us two
And a soaring song
Redoing our debut
We get to finish
What we started
It's a brand-new me and you
A brand-new me and you
BOTH:
Thought we might be sunk
Upon first glance
Well, who'd have thunk?
Here's a second chance
And life could be
A song and dance somehow
So take a look at us now
[LAUGHING]
Let's go. Let's go.
[BABBLING]
Where are you going?
Why is he all dressed up?
Well, when the world
sees Lyle sing and dance,
we're gonna be rich.
Rich.
What?
But he doesn't need money.
He needs a family and a home.
This is the business of show,
Josh.
Because Lyle is not
just a crocodile.
He's a showman.
Bye.
Does he even want that?
Josh, tonight is our big night.
The night for what?
The preview for potential
investors in our new show.
Evangelyne will get us there
just in time.
Who's Evangelyne?
Hector?
[REVVING]
Ah. Wish us luck.
Take a look at us now.
[]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey, how'd it go?
Oh, the stage can be
a cruel mistress.
I thought Lyle had changed,
but he hasn't.
He froze.
Stage fright.
He still won't sing
for an audience.
Just so you know,
I don't care if you sing or not.
Either way,
I think you're awesome.
[]
Just give him a little time,
okay?
He's gonna be okay.
Thought we would make
A perfect pair
Take a look at us now
Thought there was a spotlight
We could share
Take a look at us now
I won't pretend this
isn't something of a blow,
my old friend.
One or two loans
will now require
a radical renegotiation,
you know?
But nothing I can't smooth over
with a little Valenti charm.
[CHUCKLES]
Ciao.
Take a look at us
Now
CAROL: It's the school's
brownstone, not yours.
I'm done.
I did not sign up for this.
Mr. Primm, for you.
Oh, good,
it's the man of the hour.
You're a member
of the neighborhood?
Time to earn your spot.
Okay, great.
Get the money.
[GROANS]
Show business.
Oh, please, sit.
Come in.
I don't wanna be unneighborly.
Really, I don't.
And no one loves music
and singing and dancing
more than me, you know.
Just not at 3:00
in the morning.
So if you could find it
in your hearts
to sign the petition,
and override the school's power
to allow awful families
like this...
Okay, now hold on
just a second...
[THUMPING]
No.
Well...
MR. PRIMM: That's just Josh.
Practicing wrestling.
Trampoline.
On a trampoline.
He wrestles on a trampoline
we'll get rid of.
Sure, but if it's not that,
and it's something else,
something that you're hiding
from us,
something that you think
you'll get in trouble for,
well, I believe
now is the time to share it.
[KNOCKING]
Do you mind if I join you?
Valenti.
Alistair Grumps.
Alistair Grumps.
How in the world are you?
[GASPS]
[EXCLAIMING]
Wait, is that the same sofa?
You literally have not changed
a thing.
[CHUCKLES]
You see, Alistair and I
grew up together.
Have you been drinking?
Yes, I have.
I always feel like
the world looks better
with a glass of champagne.
A glass of champagne.
Get out.
This is none of your business.
It is, it is, because if
the Primms are the problem,
then I, as their house guest,
I'm part of the problem too,
am I not?
A very large part.
HECTOR: With your permission,
I'd like to be part
of the solution as well.
Would you mind, please?
Thank you.
Delicious. Per usual,
Hector, you're overstepping.
HECTOR: We are not the only
ones who overstepped the mark.
We, for instance,
haven't mounted security cameras
throughout the neighborhood,
filming other residents
without their consent.
[PEOPLE MURMURING]
[SCOFFS]
No permission asked?
None.
No.
No. Were releases signed?
No.
HECTOR: No.
Well, if it was me,
I'd go straight to the police.
Mm-hm.
[SCOFFS]
Out, all of you.
Everyone, get out of here.
Uh...
Come on.
This meeting will be reconvened
at a later date.
Thank you so much for coming.
WOMAN:
Excuse me.
Not you.
I can assure you, Alistair,
we have absolutely
nothing to talk about. Heh.
Why don't we see about that?
MR. PRIMM: Hector had
this whole performance.
MRS. PRIMM:
Even Marjory was miffed.
Mr. Grumps's jaw was...
She was so upset.
Hector.
Hector.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, thank you.
Oh! Thank you so much.
That was incredible.
No, no, no.
You have all been extraordinary.
It was the least I could do.
Thank you, really.
So I have to make myself
presentable.
I'll be back in two shakes
of a lamb's tail, okay?

Now.
Go.
Stay here.

OFFICER 1:
Where is he?
OFFICER 2: I'm gonna look
around back. Just in case.
Could be a big one.
[LYLE ROARS]

Stay back, stay back.
No, no. Whoa! Josh.
JOSH:
He won't hurt you.
[CRACKLING]
MR. PRIMM: Hey!
Lyle.
You have to sing.
Now.
MR. PRIMM:
No.
MRS. PRIMM:
No.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Watch your step there.
Easy.
No.
You're clear.
[PANTING]
Josh.
I'll talk to him.
I knew it.
I knew you were up to no good.
Hiding a crocodile.
You've broken so many rules.
Wait till I tell your school.
They'll throw you
out of the city.
You'll be gone,
all of you, by Thanksgiving.

Lyle.
Hey, hey, buddy.
Hey, are you okay?
I came as soon as it opened.
Lyle.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, no hands through the bars.
Thank you.
You, get back.
We have to do something.
He must hate it here.
Look, Josh,
they understand crocodiles.
They're gonna look after him.
Then why aren't they giving him
pork-and-rosemary vol-au-vents,
or chicken Milanese
with a dash of salsa verde?
He's a crocodile, sweetheart.
He's a very special crocodile,
but he is still a crocodile.
He has to learn to live
with the other crocodiles.
No, no. We can break him out.
Josh.
It's not a bank.
It's a zoo. How hard can it be?
Josh, stop. Okay?
We'll come visit Lyle every day,
I promise.
We'll speak to the zoo,
and ask them
to let us bring Lyle
his favorite treats.
There's only so much we can do.
Not all problems
have a solution, Josh.
No, you don't get
to decide that.
Not for me. Not anymore.
My whole life, I've been scared,
because you've been scared.
But I'm not scared anymore.
Because of Lyle.
He changed everything for me.
And not just for me.
For you too. So...
I'm not gonna leave here.
I'm not just gonna leave here
without...
Leave here without...
Josh?
Wait, Josh, Josh, Josh.
Oh, my God.
Josh, are you okay?
Josh. Get his inhaler.
It's in his jacket.
Call 911.
[SIREN CHIRPS]
He had a panic attack
that triggered his asthma.
It's good he had
his inhaler with him.
He's gonna be fine.
You got nothing to worry about.
Thank you, sir.
You okay, bud?
Yeah.
You sure?
Yeah.
[]
We had nights
Of endless music
We were dizzy dancing
Till the dawn
We were free
Singing sweet harmonies
With the city
But maybe that was
Someone else's song
Back to earth again
You knew
Where this was headed
And honestly
You're better off
Better here
Where you belong
You got caught up
In the colors
You got wrapped up
In the ride
You thought the feeling
Was forever
And the stars
Were on your side
It was lovely
While it lasted
But it wasn't meant to stay
Still you let yourself
Get carried away
I guess I let myself
Get carried away
We got carried away
Carried away
Got carried away
Carried away
So we got mixed up
In the madness
But wasn't it a perfect mess
We made?
Well, you live
And you learn
You return
To the safe and the simple
And behind our walls
We fall back into place
Back to earth again
You're through
With pretending
'Cause this is how
The ending goes
Now you're here
Where you belong
We got caught up
In the colors
We got wrapped up
In the ride
We thought the feeling
Was forever
And the stars
Were on our side
It was lovely
While it lasted
But it wasn't meant to stay
We just let ourselves
Get carried away
We got carried away
Carried away
Got carried away
Carried away
Carried away
Lost in a fantasy
Of all we were gonna be
Carried away
Carried away
It was lovely
While it lasted
It was never meant to stay
But we let ourselves
Get carried away
I guess I let myself
Get carried away
[STUDENTS CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY]
Hey.
Can you believe it?
I still can't believe it.
We're gonna be on
Show Us What You Got.
That's great.
You deserve it.
Listen.
Don't give up.
When Malfoy escaped, I thought
I'd never see him again either.
Malfoy? The pet rattlesnake
my crazy Uncle Ernie gave me?
He was gone for six weeks.
We all thought he was dead.
Until the neighbors found him in
the back of their toaster oven.
Miracles do happen, Josh.
[]
There he goes.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Mom, I'm fine.
I know you're fine.
I'm gonna make sure
you stay that way.
Come on.
Where you going?
Taking the trash out.
Okay.
Be careful.
Yeah, be careful.
[SIGHS]
How could you do it?
I've asked myself the same
question over and over, Josh.
But, you see, I've got nothing.
[CLEARS THROAT]
No family, no friends.
Then why do you keep
leaving him?
When Lyle choked,
I had to go back
and make it on my own.
Again. Yes.
But I couldn't, because
no one's interested in...
me.
And I owe a lot of people
a lot of money, Josh.
A lot of money.
So when Alistair Grumps
offered me that cash,
I had to take it.
Out of need, out of fear,
out of weakness.
And I've hated myself
for doing it.
Good, because I hate you too.
But this is not about me,
or about you. It's about Lyle.
And you know as well as I do,
we can't leave him in that zoo.
So if you have
the stomach for it,
if you have the fire
in your belly I know you have,
you have,
you, young man,
are going to help me
break that crocodile
out of the zoo.
Yes, because we have
magic on our side.
The power of illusion.
Magical magic.
There is no magic, Hector.
I'll be at the East Gate
at 4 a.m.
Four a.m. Be there.

I thought I had this trick down,

Come on. Josh.

Lyle.
Help me. Help me.
Lyle.
No, no, no.
Josh?
You have to talk to him.
Tell him to help me.
It's not me that has to talk
to him, Hector.
It's you.
But...
I-I realize I may not
have always acted
in the best way possible, Lyle.
But I showed you the world.
I introduced you
to white truffle oil.
I taught you the moonwalk.
[SNARLS]
Okay, fine, fine.
I apologize.
My behavior was unforgivable.
I used you, and I abandoned you.
And it's my fault you're here.
But, please, come back with me.

I've got Evangelyne

We can outrun anyone on her.
But Lyle can't just keep
running.
Of course he can. You'd be
amazed what you can outrun.

Creditors.
[SIRENS WAILING]

No, no, this is not a life.

We gotta show them...

[AUDIENCE CHEERING WILDLY]
All right.
[LAUGHS]
[CROWD MURMURING]
The point I'm making,
Your Honor,
is that nothing has changed.
So the crocodile sang.
So what?
It wasn't even that good.
[CROWD GRUMBLING]
Oh, you're just impressed
because it was a crocodile.
It was still
broken out of the zoo.
And according
to every single one
of the city's
very own regulations,
it cannot be kept
in a domestic residence.
[BOOING]
JUDGE: Order, order.
It's okay.
[GAVEL POUNDING]
I'm afraid the plaintiff
is right.
[CROWD GROANS]
[DOOR OPENS]
HECTOR: But who
wants to be merely right
when you can be
fabulously triumphant instead?
Good morning, Your Honor.
Excuse me.
I have some documents here
that were stolen from me
which are of vital importance
to this case.
What documents?
The original deeds
to the house
on East 88th Street.
How'd you get those?
Those were under my bed.
I was led to them
by a new friend. Meow.
Why?
Let me see that.
Of course.
Those papers date from the time
of my maternal grandmother,
Evelyn T. Valenti.
Not just the woman who built
the house on East 88th Street,
but the woman who was the
founder of the New York Zoo.
GRUMPS: This is nonsense.
What?
This is a special deed granted
by the City of New York.
In acknowledgment to my
grandmother's contributions
to the city, and to accommodate
her fascination for the animals.
JUDGE: "The house on East
88th Street is hereby granted
a special waiver to house
any exotic creature as a pet."
[CROWD GASPING]
Certainly Your Honor
cannot be stupid enough
to consider this.
Approved.
Yes.
[ALL CHEERING]
Your Honor, this is ridiculous.
I demand a mistrial.
This is absurd.
[LORETTA MEOWS]
Wait a second. Loretta?
Hey.
Loretta?
[]
Keep your filthy hands off
of my Loretta!
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
All right, everybody, let's go.
Relax, we got time.
I'm gonna get the sunscreen.
Wait, wait. What's all of this?
Where...?
Hector, good morning.
Where are you going?
Get in the car, guys.
Hold on. I've already got Lyle
over 200 bookings.
Two hundred bookings
in New York alone.
Once we roll out
a national tour,
we're gonna be swimming in cash.
We're not going
on a national tour.
We're going on vacation.
On a what?
Have you ever even been
on vacation before, Lyle?
I got you a floatie.
[LAUGHS]
That's cute.
HECTOR:
Okay, okay. Fine, fine.
We'll do a stadium tour instead.
Fewer dates,
but we'll pack in
just as many people.
Bye.
[CAR STARTS]
Bye.
Bye.
Uh...
Hector?
Yes?
[HISSING]
Oh.
I'm sorry, kid, but...
Mmph.
Do it, Malfoy.
[BEATBOXING]
Does he have an agent?
He does now.
[HISSES]
[GASPS]
He's got an attitude.
Let's go.
MRS. PRIMM:
And we're off.
[RAP PLAYING]
MR. PRIMM:
Oh. How about...?
[SMOOTH JAZZ PLAYING]
Oh, play Lyle's music.
Oh!
[ELTON JOHN'S
"CROCODILE ROCK" PLAYING]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, oh.
LYLE:
La, la, la, la, la
But the biggest kick
I ever got
Was doing a thing
Called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids
Were rocking 'round the clock
[MEOWS]
Hey, Loretta.
We were hopping and bopping
To the Crocodile Rock, yeah
Croc Rocking
Is something shocking
When your feet
[MUMBLING]
Just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh, Lordy, mama
Those Friday nights
When Susie wore
Her dresses tight
Crocodile Rocking
Was out of sight
[ALL LAUGHING]
