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]
