## History

### *Arlo the Alligator Boy*

Tony was introduced in the Alabama barn, headlining the wrestling match between his partner Furlecia and her muscly opponent. During the match, Tony uses this moment to secretly bribe the farmers out of their cash by asking them to cash in their bets that Furlecia will win. The second Furlecia wins however, Tony's scam is discovered, starting a mad riot where the farmers chase him all over the barn, wanting to get their cash back. Tony sees Arlo and hands the bag of cash off to him, but he didn't know what to do with it.

The two leave the barn where their driver Alia pulls up in her bus; but when Bertie nearby lets them know Arlo is still inside, Tony asks Alia to keep the bus in park until the cash comes. The instant Bertie comes out with Arlo, being chased by the angry farmers, the bus takes off before they could jump aboard, so Furlecia pulls them on. When Tony asks for his cash, Arlo reveals he gave it back to the farmers, prompting Tony to break down and accuse him to ruining his chances of becoming rich. Furlecia, however, stands up for him and lets Bertie know despite his short temper, he has a big heart.

When Arlo brings up New York City to the crew, Tony bonds with him and reveals he has a family there in Little Italy; but the crew refuses to come with him on account of having their own thing going on, leaving him disappointed. Seeing how sad he is, Tony notices Arlo's feet, realizing he's half-alligator and is a good swimmer as well. He decides to take Arlo to New York under the condition he free their friend Marcellus from an aquarium he's been trapped in all his life. Bertie is forced to agree as well, and Tony hopes once they get there, they will get some more cash to make up for the money Arlo gave back.

Arlo manages to free Marcellus in no time, and the group celebrates with a dance party on the bus. Later when taking a rest stop at a beach, Tony is shown freaking out to Marcellus' time locked up, and feels sorry for what he went through and is glad he's freed. When turning in, Tony's way of sleeping is flopping down on the ground headfirst. Tony is then seen participating in the "Follow Me Home" number along with Bertie and Arlo.

The next day when the group finally reaches New York, Tony sees Alia left her steering wheel post, prompting the bus to swerve before parking. During the montage, Tony enters a pizzeria and engorges himself in the various samples, one of which he takes out with him when regrouping in Times Square with the others. After seeing the interview of Arlo's birth father Ansel on One Times Square, Tony goes to contact one of his partners from "the old neighborhood" whom provides him with the address of Ansel's home. After Arlo leaves the group to go inside, Tony bets he won't get past the building's tough doorman but is proven wrong.

Tony is then seen taking shelter at Seaside by the Seashore, Ansel's old neighborhood and the site of his next big project, where he talks with Bertie on the beach before she spots Arlo's half of the seashell they share, prompting her to detect his presence and find him saddened and delirious after being rejected by Ansel the night before, which Tony dismisses at being bonked on the head before leaving them be. Later when Arlo spots the town, Tony confesses to him that since meeting him, he discovered the true meaning of friendship and no longer cares about just money and pizza. Tony also stands by on Arlo's side when Alia brings up the upcoming Met Gala that night and the group vows to help him learn the truth.

At the gala later that evening, Arlo goes to confront Ansel while Tony and the others wait in the ballroom. Arlo is soon captured by hunters Ruff and Stucky before Ansel saves him, revealing his bird man identity and the truth about his life. Arlo soon turns down living with Ansel in favor of Tony and the others, as he found a new family in them. Ansel also allows Arlo and the others to move to Seaside by the Seashore and rebuild it; during the restoration, Tony is shown approaching the old pizzeria which he buys, making it into one of his own.

### *I ♥ Arlo*

Tony is a main character in the series, continuing some time after the film when Arlo has settled into a new life at Seaside by the Seashore. He's the owner of Tony's Pizzeria, which serves as the main hangout location for the main characters other than the fountain. Tony retains some bits of short temper from the film, but is nevertheless a good friend to Arlo.

His contribution to the Seaside Community Garden is tomato plants to make pepperoni.

In "Tony Baloney", it is revealed Tony comes from a long line of con artists and similar jobs, so when his parents came to visit, he went out of his way pretending to be rich and attempting to convince him his pizzeria is a legitimate business and not stolen like they intended. When all else failed, he admits the truth, and they were impressed anyway because he scammed them. In "The Uncondemning", he takes part in the rescue party to save Edmée from the clutches of the evil Bog Lady before Seaside's Uncondemning party.
