[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]

[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]

Louis : Ah, Much abliged peewee! And... how about the other side?
[Louis turns around to reveal a lot more burs under his bottom]
Ray : [groans; chagrined] Oh...
