Transcript:
Larry the croc: Okay, zeeba neighba...Me and Frank decide to go downtown, act een community play. Frank tink it help us take mind off pressure of being predator. Zebra: Oh, yeah? Well, knock 'em dead. Larry the croc: How dat help play?
A highly inappropriate way to celebrate a patriotic holiday. Taking up arms against your government is only an act of patriotism if you win the ensuing war. If you lose, it becomes treason, pure and simple.
Heaven is an all-the-zebra-you-can-eat buffet. You have to kill every croc on the block, then your own family, and then hang yourself to get there. – Problem solved.
Zebra, capitalize on this! Guessing that Bob has come back to lif… back to "Pearls’… "“Bob, You can do better! Hey, tell me about your family. Knock ’em all dead!”

Good thing (apparently) that there are so many crocs.

Should he have told him to ‘Break a leg’ instead? Nah.

Good thing Zeeba didn’t tell them to “slay the audience.”

Zeeba has just found a way to eliminate crocs…talk to them encouragingly.

Well, the good news for Frank is, the pressure of Larry’s bat has completely taken his mind off the pressure of being a predator.

Frankly speaking, I think we’ve seen the last of Frank.

All the crocs’ roles are under-studied.

The play? “Dumb and Dumber”.
Yes – I know it is not a play – you got a better one?

They’ll need about a 1000 of them to stage “Le Miserable” for a 3 show run.

It helped the play by taking Frank out of it.

they’re doing a play on the new “Batman” movie.

I wondered about the bat,too.

Usually it is sweet, dim Pig who takes comments literally. But then he is too nice for that line to work here.
lecrenb over 12 years ago
Pastis ran out of Bobs?
bmonk over 12 years ago
Larry has really gone to bat for Frank. Even if it is only strike one, Frank is out at home. Must have been a sacrifice play?
SuperSayian over 12 years ago
Rip Frank : Killed by the the stupidity of his fellow crocs
Varnes over 12 years ago
