A scene from The Boss Baby 2017
Boss Baby

Thank you all for coming here on such a short notice. Now, before we begin... [Is the kid listening?]

Triplet #1

Yes, sir!

Triplet #2

Sure is!

Triplet #3

Affirmative!

Boss Baby

Jimbo, run some interference.

Tim

Hey!

Boss Baby

We babies are having a crisis!

Triplet #1

Oh no!

Triplet #2

That's awful!

Triplet #3

Horrible!

Staci

What is it?

Boss Baby

Well, it's simpler if I just show you. Teddy, if you please.

Teddy (a.k.a. Connie, Story Bear)

Let's put on a show!

Triplets

Oh. [Staci gasps]

Story Bear

Here we go!

Boss Baby

Jimbo, hit the lights. [Jimbo hits lights] You see, babies aren't getting as much love as we used to.

Staci

Why? Have we been bad?

Boss Baby

No, Staci. But I'll tell you who is. Behold our mortal enemy. Puppies!

All

Aww!

Boss Baby

No, no, that's exactly the problem!

Tim

Puppies? What's the deal with puppies?

Boss Baby

Throughout history, people have loved babies more than anything in the world. We've always been must-have item, number one on every wish list. Puppies were merely accessories. But all that changed when the puppies began coming out with new designer models. Each one more adorable than the last. Remember the Labradoodle? The Peekaboo? The Chiweenie? Try to say "Chiweenie" without smiling. [All: Chiwee...] Not possible, don't waste your time. We all laughed at the Shar Pei. [Jimbo laughs] And now it's number one in China.

Triplet #1

Oh no!

Triplet #2

That's terrible!

Triplet #3

Horrible!

Boss Baby

Yes. And it gets even worse. Francis Francis, the CEO of Puppy Co, made this announcement. Teddy, roll the clip.

Francis Francis

And we are on schedule to release the most adorable puppy ever! We're gonna launch it at the pet convention in Las Vegas! Watch out, world! It's gonna crush the competition!

Jimbo
[laughs]

Yay!

Boss Baby

No, Jimbo. No "yay". We are the competition! This is war. Puppies are winning, and babies are losing. Thank you, Teddy. And if this new puppy is as cute as we fear, it could put the baby business out of business, baby.

Triplet #1

Uh-oh!

Triplet #2

That's awful!

Triplet #3

Bad news, baby!

Staci

What are we going to do?

Boss Baby

My job is to find out exactly what that new puppy is, so that Baby Corp can stop it. And you're going to help me.

Triplet #1

Genius!

Triplet #2

Home run!

Triplet #3

You still got it, boss!

Staci

Yay!

Boss Baby

Yay. Now, your parents all work for Puppy Co. So, have you learned anything from them?

Triplet #1

Yes, sir!

Triplet #2

Sure did!

Triplet #3

Mm-hm!

Boss Baby

Fantastic. Triplets, go!

Triplets

A, B, C, D.

Boss Baby

No, what have you learned about the new puppy?

Jimbo
[laughs]

Yay, puppy!

Boss Baby

No, Jimbo! Puppies are evil! Staci, read back the notes.

Staci

I can't read. What's it say? [?]

Boss Baby

THIS IS MY TEAM!? A muscle-head, a bunch of yes men, and a doodler?

Triplet #1

Exactly!

Triplet #2

Affirmative!

Triplet #3

Good call!

Triplet #1

Oh yeah!

Triplet #2

Nice one, BB!

Tim

Gotcha!

Boss Baby
(to Jimbo)

PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN! Cookies are for closers.

Teddy

Let's have another show!

Boss Baby

No, Teddy! No! [Staci cries]

Teddy

How about a hug?

Boss Baby

No more shows!

Triplet

Boss!

Teddy

There's plenty of love to go around!

Boss Baby

Teddy, go to sleep!

Teddy
[in low-battery voice]

Nighty-night... [faints]

Triplet

Boss, Boss!

Boss Baby

WHAT?!

Triplets

PARENTS!

Ted

Aww! It's like they're having their own little meeting! [The parents begin taking pictures of the babies, Boss Baby is eating his foot, Staci is throwing her papers in the air, and Jimbo is eating all the cookies]

Janice

Isn't that adorable?

Man

Who wants dessert?

Boss Baby
[takes his foot out of his mouth]

God, this is so humiliating! [it repeats on the tape]

Tim
[determined]

Wait until Mom and Dad hear this. [gasps, finds Boss Baby and his infants]

Boss Baby

Hey, Templeton, what you got there?

Tim
[hides the tape]

Uh, nothing.

Boss Baby

Hand over the tape.

Tim

Never! [rushes outside and finds Janice and Ted inside] Mom! Dad! Over here!

Janice

Hi, Timmy!

Ted

Hi! Anyway... [Tim gets surrounded by Boss Baby and his infants. They are in vehicles. Staci is in a kid's flower bike.]

Girl
(on recording)

Flower power! [Jimbo rolls his ball popper. The triplets are in a firetruck. Boss Baby is in a police car.]

Boss Baby
[through a bullhorn]

You can't get away from Johnny Law, simpleton. [The chase starts.]

Tim

Ha! [runs]

Girl

Fasten your seat belt! Let's go! [Staci gets stuck in a sandbox, and pouts]

Jimbo

Run, run, run, run, run... [crashes through a fence. The triplets ride in the firetruck and snatch the tape]

Tim

Hey!

Triplet

Ha-ha! [Tim finds the hose rolling out]

Tim

Hmm.

Triplet
[gasps]

Uh-oh! [Tim ties the hose to a pole with tap and yanks it really hard, which sends the triplets and the tape flying]

Triplets
[flying through the air]

WHOA!

Jimbo
[runs out of the fence]

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run! Catch, catch, catch, catch, catch, catch! [catches them, and the firetruck hits the ground explodes, sending the tape flying]

Tim

Whoa!

Boss Baby

Yes! [grabs the tape and flies in the air then comes back to the ground] Oh, yeah! [finds Tim in the police car, then Tim splutters] Let go, you little... [The scene cuts to Ted and Janice looking outside a window]

Janice

Oh, look, the kids are finally getting along.

Ted

That's nice! [Janice and Ted clink glasses together. The scene cuts back to backyard. Boss Baby swings Tim around, then falls onto the grass, the babies come in, Boss Baby makes a throat cutting gesture, and the babies charge]

Tim

Sayonara! [rides a rope into his treehouse, and grabs suction cup darts and a Nerf gun] You wanna play? Let's play! [uses a paper clip and swings down on a rope and shoots suction cup darts at Jimbo]

Jimbo

NOOOOO! Save Boss! Save Boss! [gets suction cup darts on him. The tape drops. Tim grabs the tape]

Boss Baby

Get him!

Triplets

I got him, I got him, I got him! [Tim jumps on a trampoline into the window of the house, and Staci and the triplets bounce on the trampoline, unable to reach the window. Staci flies into the air and gets stuck in a tree]

Tim

You're toast, baby man!

Boss Baby

Upsies! I need upsieeees! [Jimbo twirls him, and Boss Baby flies into a window, breaking it.]

Ted
[comes out with a plate of cheese-sticks]

Who wants... [drops the plate] cheese-sticks! [They look at the mess.]

Janice

Oh! [Jimbo stands still, and the toy firetruck is behind him on fire.] Oh! [The triplets play with the broken glass from the window that Jimbo threw Boss Baby into it.] Oh! [Staci is stuck in the tree. She looks at them, with a confused expression on her face, and cries.]

Tim

Mom, Dad! I've got proof! [Boss Baby runs in his walker and gets vampire teeth, then growls and bites Tim on the leg] Ah! [Boss Baby tumbles, and Tim slides down the stairs] Oh, someone can't go down the stairs? Ha!

Boss Baby
[spits out vampire teeth]

Nothing can stop me! [rolls down the stairs, then Tim opens the door, and he rolls outside, and Tim closes the door]

Tim

Mom, Dad! Where are you guys? Hello! Where did everyone go? [runs into the office room] Mom, Dad! The baby can talk!

Boss Baby

Oh, can he now? [turns to Tim in a chair]

Tim

Wait, how did you...?

Boss Baby

Hand over the tape, Timmy, or Lam-Lam gets it, see? [grabs a stapler]

Tim

No!

Boss Baby

What's that, Lam-Lam? Oh, you want a nose ring? Well, it's really not my scene, but who am I to judge!? [staples Lam-Lam's nose, then Tim whimpers] And an eyebrow ring. Seems like a little bit too much, Lam-Lam! [staples Lam-Lam's eyebrow]

Tim

Ah!

Boss Baby

How's that gonna look in a job interview?

Tim

Stop it!

Boss Baby

The tape, Timmy, or I'm gonna rip-rip-rip-rip-rip-rip-rip...

Tim

NOOOOO! [grabs Lam-Lam and they tug at her] Let go!

Boss Baby

You let go!

Tim

You let go!

Boss Baby

Give me the tape!

Tim

Give me Lam-Lam! [pauses; gasps, seeing Lam-Lam ripped, then glares at Boss Baby]

Boss Baby

Whoops! Too far! [Tim grunts, grabs him] Templeton, Templeton, let’s be reasonable! We can be reasonable, right? What are you doing?!

Tim
[throws Boss Baby in a baby jumper and opens the curtains and window]

You've been asking for this since you got here! [puts the jumper up on the window]

Boss Baby

We can talk about this over a juice box!

Tim
[pulls it back to use as a slingshot]

Time for juice boxes is over!

Boss Baby

No, no, Templeton! You wouldn't!

Tim

Say bye-bye, baby! You're fired!

Ted
[enters the room with Janice]

Tim, what are you doing?!

Tim
[looks at his father]

Nothing. [Boss Baby looks at Ted, and cries. Tim let us go of the jumper, accidentally shoots the tape out the window, then it lands onto the road and gets run over in tape is brokeness by a passing car, horrified, gasps] My proof! [Boss Baby grins triumphantly]

Janice

Tim! [takes Boss Baby] Explain yourself!

Ted

Yes, explain yourself!

Tim

It wasn't me! It was the baby's fault!

Ted

The baby's fault?

Tim

It's true, he can talk! They all can talk! They're having a meeting! There's something about puppies! It's one big baby con-spy-racy!

Janice
[shocked]

Timothy Leslie Templeton! [Boss Baby snickers]

Ted

We are very disappointed in you.

Janice
[corrects Ted]

No, we're mad at you!

Ted

Exactly, we're mad at you!

Tim
[heartbroken]

Mad?

Ted

You need a time-out!

Janice
[corrects Ted again]

You're grounded!

Ted

Yes, grounded! (to Janice) For two?

Janice

Three!

Ted
(to Janice)

Three days?

Janice

Weeks!

Ted

Weeks! Three weeks!

Janice

For three... NEVERS!!!

Ted

You know what, Janice, you're never 3 weeks ever again!

Tim
[heartbroken]

Grounded?

Janice

You're gonna stay in this house with your baby brother... [Boss Baby gasps and looks at her up with confusion] until you learn to get along.

Boss Baby
[slight pauses; disappointed]

Oh, great. [Tim looks down in disappointment. The scene fades to a jail/prison cell]

Adult Tim
[narrates]

It was my first time behind bars. The big house. The lock-up. Grounded for life. The minutes turned into hours, the hours into days. Every man has his breaking point. This was mine.
