Quotes / Sewer Gator

Go To

Vinnie the Alligator: You two seem to be in need of assistance.
Sherman: Who are you?
Vinnie the Alligator: I'm Vinnie. I live in this part of the sewer system.
Megan: Nice place you have here.
Vinnie the Alligator: Thanks. If you stick your head out that manhole, you can see Central Park... Times Square is a five-minute crawl... and the restaurants around here have wonderful garbage.
Megan: How do you afford it?
Vinnie the Alligator: Rent control.

Y'know those urban legends about pet alligators that get flushed down the toilet, and grow to adulthood in the sewers?

They're all false.

Yeah, seriously, that never happens. What does happen, though, is that alligators find their way into sewers, then they grow so large from the abundant supply of fresh rats that they can't fit back through the hole they came in. This makes them angry, which is probably why this particular one is so enthusiastic about trying to eat you.
