The Princess and the Frog 2009 quotes

You can hop, but you can't hide!

Friends on the other side [singing] Are you ready?!

I'm completely innocent. The Shadow Man bambooze me. Aah!

Boys, drag to maggot down to the Parish prison.

Ray

Hey...How come...you're...still...?

Tiana

We're stayin' frogs, Ray.

Prince Naveen

And we're staying together.

Ray

Oh. Tres Bien. I like that very much. Evangeline...like that too.

Ray

I know what we’ve seen with our eyes but...If we just go back there, we gonna find that your fairy tale come true.

Tiana

Just because you wish for something doesn’t make it true.

Ray

It’s like my Evangeline always said to me-

Tiana

Evangeline is nothing but a star, Ray! A big ball of hot air a million miles from here! Open your eyes now, before you get hurt. [leaves]

Ray

She’s just big in a broken heart. That’s all it is. Come on, Evangeline. We're going to show Chère the truth.

Dr. Facilier

Friends, I know I am already deeply in debt to ya'll and everything, but it seems our little froggy prince, lost his way. And I'll be interested in ya'll help getting him back. [the masks snarl at him; laughs] I hear ya, now what's in it for ya'll? [pulls out a voodoo doll of Big Daddy La Bouff and a needle] Well, as soon as I dispose of Big Daddy La Bouff, and I'm running this town, I'll have the whole of New Orleans, in the palm of my hand. [whirls his hand around, showing an illusion of New Orleans; chuckles evilly. The illusion shrinks into his hand] And you'll have all the wayward souls your dark little hearts desire. [blows the illusions of screaming souls out of the illusion. The illusory souls waft upward into the masks' noses as they smile maliciously] Ya'll like that, don't you? [dusts his hands] So, we have ourselves a deal? [the large center mask glances at the other smaller masks, who give sinister grins. It then opens its mouth and shadowy ghosts ooze out from it, onto the walls around him; chuckles evilly] Now we're cooking! We gonna find ourselves a frog. Search everywhere! The bayou, the Quarter, bring him to me alive. I need his heart pumpin'! For now... Allez! [slams cane on ground] Toute suite!
[The shadows take off to find Naveen]

Big Daddy

Evenin', Eudora.

Daddy, Daddy! Look at my new dress! Isn't it pretty?

Big Daddy

Look at you! Why, I'd expect nothin' less from the finest seamstress in New Orleans!

Are you talkin' 'bout that dang restaurant again?

Tiana

Buford, your eggs are burnin'.

You ain't never gonna get enough for the down payment.

Tiana

I'm gettin' close.

Yeah. How close?

Tiana

Where my flapjacks?

You got about as much chance of gettin' that restaurant as I do of winnin' the Kentucky Derby.

Dr. Facilier

Now you, young man, are from across the sea; you come from two long lines of royalty. [aside] I'm a royal myself on my mother's side. Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low. You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough. [talking] Mom and Dad cut you off, huh, pretty boy?

Naveen

Eh, sad but true.

Dr. Facilier

Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitchin' ties ya down! You just wanna be free - hop from place to place! But freedom takes green... [snickers evilly and sings] It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need! And when I look into your future, it's the green that I seen.

We all goin' out dancin' tonight. Care to join us?

Yeah, c'mon, Tiana, live a little. It's Mardi Gras.

Tiana

No, I got two left feet. Besides, I'm gonna... [to a rather messy kid] Need a napkin, sweetheart? I'm gonna work a double shift tonight. [serving pancakes to a male customer] Here're your hotcakes. You know, so I...

You can save for your restaurant. I know, I know. Girl! All you ever do is work!

Mmm. Gumbo smells good, Tiana.

Young Tiana

I think it's done, Daddy.

Yeah. Are you sure?

Young Tiana

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely positive?

Young Tiana

Yes.

OK. I'm about to put this spoon in my...

Young Tiana

Wait! [adds some hot sauce to the gumbo, then tastes it] Done. [feeds the gumbo to James]

Hmm.

Young Tiana

What?

Well, sweetheart, this is the... best gumbo I've ever tasted! Come here! Eudora, our little girl's got a gift!

I coulda told you that.

A gift this special just gotta be shared.

You know the thing about good food? It brings folks together from all walks of life. It warms them right up and it puts little smiles on their faces, and when I open up my own restaurant, I tell you, people are gonna line up from miles around just to get a taste of my food!

Young Tiana

Our food.

That's right, baby. [writes "Tiana's Place" on the paper] Our food.

Sire, I've been looking for you everywhere!

Naveen

Oh, what a coincidence, Lawrence! I've been avoiding you everywhere!

We're going to be late for the masqu...

Naveen

Listen, Lawrence! Listen! Oh! [cut to various jazz musicians] Jazz! Jazz music! It was born here! It's beautiful, no?

No!

Good to see you again, Ray. How's your Grandma?

Ray

Oh, she's fine. She got in a little trouble for flashin' the neighbors again.

I like that old gal's spunk!
