Hoping to put the whole 'questioning of the Sleaze Brothers' to rest

"How did the Sleaze Brothers get all their rides, stock, tents, baggage on that tiny truck, when they moved from town to town?"

This falls into the realm of movie-logic. I did remember how the 2 brothers just seemed to have packed up everything into that tiny truck of theirs. This is one of those things that the audience has to suspend their disbelief to realize.

Keep in mind this is a world in which an 8ft yellow bird can walk around and most people don't think anything at all strange about this.


"How come the state trooper believed the boy's story and not the Sleaze Brothers?"

Keep in mind that the man checked their file, and then had that list of information about counterfeiting, extortion, and fraud.

The fact that they stole an apple from the kid, is kind of the movie's way of saying the guys have gone too far. It's usually the little things that someone will do that makes them get caught.


How was the small boy their friend? As Sam exclaims "We was just holding it for a friend"?

The mentioning of 'friend' was not related to the boy. It was their way of saying, 'we were holding onto it for someone else.' Sam was trying to deflect the apple blame from himself. It's kind of the old schoolyard thing when a kid does something bad, and then blames someone else for making him do the bad action.


"The boy didn't seem to like either Sam or Sid Sleaze, or he would not have reported them to the police."

You make it sound like the boy wanted to start trouble. The boy felt he had been wronged by having to pay an extra 10 cents and the stealing of his apple. Sam most likely figured "stupid kid, he'll get over it." Sam seemed the kind of guy willing to step on other's toes for his own gain.


"How come the boy still held a grudge towards the two men, days after his apple was stolen?"

My guess is that he reported this to the officer on the same day. As well, Sam demanded an extra 10 cents to let him down from the ferris wheel. Plus, don't forget there was a list of other things that the officer found on file which he tells Sam, when the brother asks, 'what's the charge?'


"What happened if the two men had forgotten all about the apple theft, by the time that the copper found the two men?"

Sam it seems had put it out of his mind. Taking a kid's apple just seemed like something he'd do out of boredom. Though given this is a world based on movie-logic, people would be more apt to buy the kid's story.

Also, there was that list of other bad things they had done.


"Why did Sam pull over, and not take off once the motorcycle was following their truck?"

I seriously doubt their truck could attempt to outrun a motorcycle. Generally, a sane person will pull over if an officer turns on their lights, and follows close behind him. Sam at this point had no idea that the kid had reported him to the Police, or that the kid was with the officer.


"Lastly, would the state trooper had arrested Big Bird if he had still been locked in the cage, when the police officer found the two men?"

If they had found Big Bird in the cage, they would have questioned who he was. Big Bird being who he was, would have most likely told the Police the truth (about him being kidnapped, and wanting to get back to Sesame Street). My guess also is that if Big Bird had been found in the truck, the charges could also have included kidnapping towards the two brothers(Big Bird may be a big bird, but his personality is centered around that of a young child).


"Ridiculous Lucky Captain Rabbit King! Lucky Captain Rabbit King nuggets are for the youth!"

Any parent, who is foolished enough to let a small boy go to a fun fair in the middle of the countryside, knowing that there is always trouble (even in the daytime) should be contacted by social services!

I mean where were the small boy's guardians? Why was he at the fun fair on his own? Why wasn't he with any of his friends?

Why did he parents give him a lunchbox?
