Tiana : [She and Naveen are floating above trees by balloons] Voodoo? You mean to tell me all this happened because you were messing with the Shadow Man?
Prince Naveen : He was very charismatic!
Tiana : [groans] It serves me right for wishing on stars. The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.
Prince Naveen : Hard work? Why... why would a princess need to work hard?
Tiana : Huh? Oh, I'm not a princess. I'm a waitress.
Prince Naveen : A waitress? Well no wonder the kiss did not work! You lied to me!
Tiana : I - I never said I was a princess.
Prince Naveen : You never said you were a w- a waitress! You were wearing a crown!
Tiana : It was a costume party, you spoiled little rich boy!
Prince Naveen : Oh, oh yes, oh ye-? Well, the egg is on your face, alright, because I do not have any riches!
Tiana : [shocked] What?
Prince Naveen : I am completely broke! Hahaha!
[branches begin popping the balloons]
Prince Naveen : Uh-oh...
-
Charlotte : Goodness gracious! This is so much to absorb. Let me see if I got this right. If I kiss you before midnight, you and Tiana will turn human again, and then we gonna get ourselves married and live happily ever after! The end!
Prince Naveen : Yeah, more or less. But remember, you must give Tiana all the money she requires for her restaurant. Because Tiana...
[glances at Evangeline, the star]
Prince Naveen : She is my Evangeline.
Charlotte : Anything you want, sugar.
[applies lipstick]
Charlotte : Pucker up, buttercup!
Tiana : [Naveen half-heartedly puckers his lips] Wait!
Prince Naveen : Tiana?
Charlotte : Tiana?
Tiana : Don't do this.
Prince Naveen : I have to do this and we are running out of time!
Tiana : I won't let you!
Prince Naveen : It's the only way to get you your dream!
Tiana : My dream? My dream wouldn't be complete... without you in it.
[shrugs with a smile]
Tiana : I love you, Naveen.
Prince Naveen : Warts and all?
Tiana : Warts and all.
Charlotte : [sniffs] All my life, I read about true love and fairytales, and... Tia, you found it! I'll kiss him! For you, honey! No marriage required.
[is about to kiss Naveen when the clock strikes midnight]
Charlotte : Oh my word! M-maybe that ol' clock's a little fast!
[kisses Naveen]
Charlotte : Oh!
[kisses him a few more times in panic and Naveen shrugs]
Charlotte : Oh, I'm so sorry!

[spoiler]
[after Tiana and Naveen get married, they unexpectedly become human again]
Mama Odie : Like I told y'all, kissing a princess breaks the spell.
Prince Naveen : Once you became my wife, that made you...
Tiana : ...a princess. You just kissed yourself a princess.
Prince Naveen : And... I'm about to do it again.
[They kiss]
-
Travis : But, Miss Charlotte, you said later two hours ago.
Charlotte : Travis, when a woman says later, she really means not ever. Now run along, there are plenty of fillies dying for you to waltz them into a stupor. Gimme those napkins, quick.
Tiana : What for?
Charlotte : I swear I'm sweating like a sinner in church.
-
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]
Prince Naveen : Pretend you did not see that.
[leads Tiana to the table]
Prince Naveen : 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]
-
Prince Naveen : You know, waitress, I finally figured out what is wrong with you.
Tiana : Have you, now?
Prince Naveen : You do not know how to have FUN. There. Somebody had to say it.
Tiana : Thank you, 'cause I figured out what your problem is too.
Prince Naveen : I am... too wonderful?
[the branch Tiana was holding smacks him backwards]
Tiana : No, you're a no-count, philandering, lazy bump on a log.
Prince Naveen : Ahaha...
[fakes a cough]
Prince Naveen : KILLJOY.
Tiana : What'd you say?
Prince Naveen : Ah, nothing.
[fakes another cough]
Prince Naveen : STICK IN THE MUD.
Tiana : Listen here, mister. This stick in the mud has had to work two jobs her whole life while you've been sucking on a silver spoon chasing chambermaids around your - your ivory tower!
Prince Naveen : [glances away] Actually, it's polished marble.
-
Tiana : You said you were fabulously wealthy!
Prince Naveen : No, no, no my parents are fabulously wealthy! But they cut me off for being a...
[notices a leech is attached to his arm]
Prince Naveen : LEECH! LEECH!
Tiana : [tugs off the leech] You're broke, and you had the gall to call me a liar?
[tosses the leech behind them and a large fish leaps out of the water to eat it and they freak and run]
Prince Naveen : It was not a lie! I fully inte...
[glances up to see a large bird about to eat them]
Prince Naveen : AAAH! I fully intend to be rich again! Once I marry Miss Charlotte La Bouff if she will have me!
Tiana : You a prince?
Prince Naveen : Obviously!
Tiana : She'll have you!
-
Tiana : Congratulations on being voted King of the Mardi Gras parade.
'Big Daddy' La Bouff : Caught me completely by surprise... for the fifth year in a row!

Dr. Facilier : [during the illusion of Tiana's restaurant] Now, isn't this whole life better than hoppin' around a bayou for the rest of your life?
Tiana : Shadow Man.
Dr. Facilier : Gotta hand it to you, Tiana. When you dream, you dream big. Just look at this place! Gonna be the crown jewel of the Cresent City. And all you got to do, to make this reality Is hand over that little talisman of mine.
Tiana : No. This-this is not right.
Dr. Facilier : Come on, darlin'? Think of everything you sacrificed.
[as he shows her all the people who doubted her]
Dr. Facilier : Think of all those people who doubted you.
[shows her father]
Dr. Facilier : And don't forget your poor daddy. Now, that was one hard-working man... double, sometimes triple shifts. Never let know how bone-tired, beat he really was. Shame all that hard work didn't amount much more than a busted up, old gumbo-pot and a dream that never get off the back porch. But you... you can give your poor daddy everything he ever wanted. Come on, Tiana... You're almost there.
Tiana : My Daddy never did get what he wanted. But he had what he needed. He had love. He never lost sight o' what was really important.
[as she charges him, shaking the talisman]
Dr. Facilier : Easy with that! Careful!
Tiana : And neither will I.
[thows the talisman to ground]
-
Tiana : [freaking out] Stella just talked to me. A dog just spoke to me!
Prince Naveen : You know, if you are going to let every little thing bother you, it is going to be a very long night!
-
Tiana : There is no way I'm kissing a frog and eating a bug in the same day.
-
Prince Naveen : [Tiana had just turned into a frog] Easy, Princess! Princess! Do not panic!
Tiana : [covering herself and panicking] Augh! What did you do to me? I - I'm green and I'm - and I'm slimy!
Prince Naveen : No, that is not slime!
[he takes her hand and rubs a finger over her arm]
Tiana : What?
Prince Naveen : [grinning] You are secreting mucus.
[Tiana twitches and tackles him]
-
Dr. Facilier : Y'all should have taken my deal. Now you'll spend the rest of your life being a slimy little frog!
Tiana : I got news for you, Shadow Man: it's not slime... it's mucus!
[uses her tongue to get back the talisman and smashes it]
Dr. Facilier : No! How am I ever gonna pay back my debt?
[a trio of masks break out of some graves, chanting]
Dr. Facilier : Friends!
Masks : [smile malevolently] Are you ready?
Dr. Facilier : No! I'm not ready at all! In fact, I got lots more plans! This is just a minor setback in a major operation!
-
Prince Naveen : [talking about her comment to the frog-hunters] 'And we talk, too!' I like that! You are secretly funny.
Tiana : Not a stick in the mud?
Prince Naveen : W-well I was...
Tiana : Say it.
Prince Naveen : Co...
Tiana : Say it.
Prince Naveen : All right... You're not exactly...
Tiana : I can't hear you, I'm sorry. What?
Prince Naveen : ...a complete stick DEEP in the mud.
[Tiana giggles]
-
Tiana : Once you two are married, you are gonna keep your promise and get me my restaurant, right?
Prince Naveen : Whoa, oh, not so fast. I made that promise to a beautiful princess, not some cranky wai - why are those logs moving?
Tiana : [Notices the alligators approaching] Those aren't logs!
-
Princess Tiana : [singing] The evening star is shinin' bright. So make a wish and hold on tight. There's magic in the air tonight, and anything can happen.
-
Tiana : [singing] In the South Land, there's a city, way down on the river. Where the women are very pretty, and all the men deliver. They got music. It's always playin'. Start in the daytime, go all through the night. When you hear that music playin', hear what I'm saying, it make you feel all right!
-
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]
-
[Naveen and Tiana are cooking dinner]
Prince Naveen : [mincing vegetables] I'm not really used to doing this. I mean, most of the time I had servants do everything for me: dress my clothes, brush my teeth, even help me get out of bed!
Princess Tiana : [stirring broth] Aw, you poor baby.
Prince Naveen : Yes, they did everything for me, until the day my parents cut me off, and that's when I realized... I don't know how to do anything.
-
Tiana : [as they get off the boat] Ray, have you seen Naveen?
Ray : Look at you! Where's the ring at?
Tiana : What are you talking about?
Ray : Well, if Captain say nothing, I ain't gonna say nothing. Because old Ray sealed up tight as a drum, you ain't got nothin' out of me, no!
Tiana : [chiding] Ray?
Ray : Okay, Captain ain't gonna marry Charlotte; he gonna marry you. Soon as he get himself kissed, and you both turn human, he go find a job, get you that restaurant.
[stops suddenly]
Ray : I said too much, didn't I?
Tiana : You said just enough, Ray!
[looking to the sky before hopping off]
Tiana : Thank you, Evangeline... He was trying to propose. That's what all that fumbling was about and here I thought, all he wanted was to marry a rich girl.
Ray : [zig-zagging through the parade crowd] Chere! What what are we looking for in here?
Tiana : You just keep your eyes at one of the biggest gaudiest floats with a Mardi Gras princess about to kiss herself a... a frog.
[sees Lawrence "Naveen" about to marry Charlotte]

[Tiana is rowing a raft out of reeds while Prince Naveen is lounging about, strumming a calming tune on a makeshift ukulele]
Tiana : [about rowing the raft] I could really use a little help.
Prince Naveen : [thinking Tiana means to change different music] Oh... Well, I'll play a little louder.
[Naveen strums an upbeat, jazzy tune. Unbeknowst to him, an alligator's eyes pops out of the water and narrows his eyes at him]
Tiana : [turning to face Naveen] How about a little less pickin' and a little bit more...
[Tiana sees something behind him and gasps. Naveen stops playing music]
Prince Naveen : What?
[Naveen looks up to see the gaping jaws of an alligator supposedly getting ready to eat him and Tiana. Naveen and Tiana scream and embrace one another...]
Louis : [excitedly] I know that tune!
[pulls out a trumpet]
Louis : ...Ripplemount Blues!
[Louis plays the same upbeat tempo Naveen was playing, with his trumpet]
Prince Naveen : [sees Louis playing the trumpet; excitedly] Hey! Hey! Play it, brother!
[Naveen drops a still startled Tiana, picks up his makeshift ukulele and plays music along side Louis's trumpet playing. They laugh in camaraderie]
-
Prince Naveen : [to Tiana] You know waitress... I think what your problem is, you do not know how to have fun.
Tiana : Oh really? I think I know what YOUR problem is.
Prince Naveen : I'm... too wonderful?
[Gets hit in the face with a branch by Tiana]
Tiana : No... You are a good-for-nothin', lazy, philanderin' lump on a log.
Prince Naveen : [fake-coughs] Killjoy!
Tiana : What did you say?
Prince Naveen : Nothing.
[Naveen fake coughs again]
Prince Naveen : A stick in the mud!
Tiana : [firmly] Look, mister! This stick in the mud has been working two jobs, while you, other the other hand, spent your days sucking on a silver spoon and chasing chambermaids round your... your ivory tower!
[Tiana leaves]
Prince Naveen : ...Actually it's polished marble.
-
Tiana : [singing] There's been tribes and tribulations. You know I've had my share, but I've climbed the mountain, I've crossed the river, and I'm almost there!
