Quotes 

• Louis : Louis would give anything to play jazz with the big boys.

  Prince Naveen : So why don't you?

  Louis : Oh, I tried once.

  [Flashback: Louis climbs onto a river boat and starts playing along with a band; he is screamed and shot at as he jumps back out] 

  Louis : It didn't end well.

• [Louis gives Ray CPR using a straw] 

  Louis : You okay, little buddy?

  Ray : Oh, I'm fine... but your breath done killed me to death!

• Louis : You sure this is the right blind voodoo lady who lives in the boat in the tree in the bayou?

  Ray : Pretty sure.

• Tiana : Louis... Ray here says you've been taking us in the wrong direction.

  Louis : I was... listen, I was confused by the topography and... the geography and choreography...

  Ray : First rule of the bayou: never take directions from a gator.

• Louis : [Gets a bur on his finger]  Aah! Pricker bushes got me! Gator down! Gator down! I can feel the darkness closing in! So cold!

  Ray : Just hold still, you big baby.

  Louis : Aaah!

  Ray : I ain't touched it yet.

• Ray : [to Naveen and Tiana]  Well you folks is goin' in the wrong direction. What kind of chucklehead told you to go this a way?

  Louis : [Louis jumps out of the bush]  I found a stick!

  [Naveen and Tiana give him a blank stare] 

• [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] 

• [Louis has revived Ray by giving him CPR via a reed] 

  Louis : You alright there, lil' bug?

  Ray : Oh, yeah I'm fine. But your breath nearly done me to death.

  Louis : [points at a bur on his middle]  You mind?

  Ray : I gotcha covered, bro.

  [Ray pulls out the bur. Louis heaves a sigh of relief] 

  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...
