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]
