The Princess and the Frog quotes
-
Tiana: [while standing on the balcony, she sees a wishing star; sighs] I can't believe that I'm doing this.
[looks up]
Tiana: lease... Please... Please.
[looks down and sees a frog sitting on the balcony]
Tiana: Oh, very funny. So, what now? I reckon you want a kiss?
Prince Naveen: Kissing would be nice, yes?
[Tiana screams and backs into Charlotte's room]
Prince Naveen: 'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
[sees Tiana about to launch stuffed animals at him]
Prince Naveen: Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
[Tiana starts throwing the stuffed animals at him]
Prince Naveen: You know, you have a very strong arm, Princess. Wait, please! Put the monkey down.
Tiana: [throws a stuffed monkey at him and lifts up a book] Stay back, or I'll... I'll...
Prince Naveen: Please, please.
[hops ontop of a table]
Prince Naveen: , allow me to introduce myself: I am Prince Naveen
[Tiana squashes him]
Prince Naveen: ... of Maldonia.
Tiana: A prince? But I didn't wish for any... Hold on, if you're the prince, then WHO was that waltzing with Lotte on the dance floor?
Prince Naveen: The only thing I know, is that one minute I am a prince, charming and handsome, cutting-a-rug, and the next thing I know
[trips over his feet]
Prince Naveen: ... I am tripping over these.
[points to his feet and Tiana lifts the book again]
Prince Naveen: Wait, wait.
[catches sight of the book's title]
Prince Naveen: Wait a moment, I know this story! The Froggie Printo!
Tiana: [hands the book to Naveen] The Frog Prince?
Prince Naveen: Yes, my mother had the servants read this to me every night.
[begins to flip back and forth between the last two pages of the book]
Prince Naveen: Yes, yes, this is exactly the answer! You must kiss me!
Tiana: Excuse me?
Prince Naveen: You will enjoy it, I guarantee. All women enjoy the kiss of Prince Naveen. Come, we pucker.
[his throat bulges out and then returns to normal]
Prince Naveen: That's new.
Tiana: Look, I'm sorry. I'd really like to help you, but I DO NOT kiss frogs.
Prince Naveen: But on the balcony, you ask me.
Tiana: I didn't expect you to answer!
Prince Naveen: Oh, but you must kiss me. Look, besides being unbelievably handsome, I come from a fabulously wealthy family. Surely, I can offer you some reward or a wish that I could grant, perhaps?
Tiana: [reluctantly] Just one kiss?
Prince Naveen: Just one. Unless you beg for more.
[licks lips; they lean in to kiss, but Tiana flips at the last second, Naveen sighs]
Tiana: All right, all right. Get it together, Tiana.
[she turns around quickly and kisses Naveen, who lets out a disappointed sigh, upon realizing that he is still a frog, then looks down and gasps in horror and epeaks Maldonian]
Tiana: [gazes up at the table] Well, you don't look any different. But how did you get way up there? And how did I get way down here, in all this...
[gazes up at the table]
Tiana: Well, you don't look any different. But how did you get way up there? And how did I get way down here, in all this...
[sees her hands are webbed. She looks in the mirror, sees she is a frog, and screams]
-
Tiana: Where are you taking me?
Prince Naveen: Oh, I just... wanted to show you a little something to celebrate our last night together as frogs.
[tugs her up and she sees his set-up of a table and wine bottle]
Tiana: Oh... All my years. No one's ever done anything like this for me.
[glances at Naveen and sees he is wearing a butterfly as a bowtie]
Prince Naveen: Oh, heh, i - it is too much, isn't it? Um...
[clears throat]
Prince Naveen: Thank you, Bow.
Bow: I thought it was a nice touch.
[flies away]
Bow: Pretend you did not see that.
[leads Tiana to the table]
Bow: Please, please sit down.
[sets a platter in front of her]
Tiana: What's this?
Prince Naveen: [lifts the lid and shows food] Ta-da!
Tiana: You minced!
Prince Naveen: I did!
[Tiana giggles]
Prince Naveen: You have had quite an influence on me. Which is amazing because I have dated thousands of women and -
[cuts himself off in panic]
Prince Naveen: No, like two, three... just other women! A-and anyway, you could not be more different! You know, you are - you are practically, heh, one of the guys!
[Tiana looks shocked]
Prince Naveen: No, no, no! You are not a guy! Let me begin again! Uh...
[leans on the table and he slips to the floor, the food spilling on him]
Prince Naveen: Ha... I am not myself tonight. Tiana!
[stands up]
Prince Naveen: Sorry, that was loud.
[Tiana laughs]
Prince Naveen: This is a disaster.
Tiana: [laughs] No, it's cute.
[Naveen chuckles]
