Puss [Puss's past life: Puss in Boots walks alone!]
Yeah, Puss in Boots walks alone... Was the legend so big, there was no room for anyone else?
Puss [to his past lives]
You know what?! You guys are jerks! Which is very conflicting for me! I'll find my own way out! Adiós!
Puss [Kitty: I hate to say it, but should we make a wish?]
Kitty, one life spent with you is all that I could wish for.
Puss [Little Boy: Whee! I'm flying!]
No, you are not flying! I will save you!

Doctor... Please... [jovial] Relax! I am Puss in Boots! I laugh at death! [laughs] You see? And anyway, I am a cat. I have nine lives.
Doctor
And how many times have you died already?

Doctor
That makes 8, Puss. You are down to your last life.
[After visiting the Doctor's office, Puss goes to the bar; where he meets a mysterious Bounty Hunter (Death)]
Bounty Hunter (Death): [whistles; Puss looks at him] Well, well. If it isn't Puss in Boots himself. [chuckles] In the flesh.
Puss Uh, hey.
Bounty Hunter (Death): There is the famous hat, the feather and, of course, the boots. My compliments to your cobbler. [chuckles]
Puss Thanks. Uh, good to meet you, too. [moves his chair]
Bounty Hunter (Death): Hey, I never do this, but can I get your autograph? Been following you for a long time. Sign right there... [Points to the word "dead" on Puss's "Wanted" paper]
Puss [laughs]
Puss in Boots laughs in the face of death, Bounty Hunter.
Bounty Hunter (Death): So I've heard...
Puss You will find your reward does not come easily. This I tell you. [shows his sword under the cloak]
Bounty Hunter (Death): [rolls his eyes and then takes the bottle and pours something into his glass] Everyone thinks they'll be the one to defeat me... But no one's escaped me yet.
Puss Ah... All right [crunches his neck] Let's get it over with. FEAR ME, IF YOU DA-- [Wolf knocks sword from Puss's hands]
[Scene in the carriage after Horner Heist] [Puss and Kitty each want to take the map for themselves] [pulls out her sword]
Suéltalo! [Translation: Let it go!]
Puss [pulls out a stick]
You let go!
A stick? [chuckles] What happened to your sword?
Puss Got rid of it, you know. Made things too easy. I needed a challenge.
Yeah, you looked pretty challenged back there. [Implies Horner Heist]
Puss [chuckles]
There's no way I'm letting you hold the map!
Well, there's no way I'm letting you hold the map!
I can hold it.
[They look at him sharply and hold sword (and a stick) on him]
Yeah, right. What's your deal, anyway? You run with the Chihuahua Gang?
I don't think so.
I don't believe you! [holds sword on him]
That's okay. As long as you believe in yourself.
Wha--? [Shocked] Is he deranged?!
Puss Yep...
What's your name?
Oh, I've been called all kinds of things. Dog, Bad Dog, Stupid Dog. Hey you! You there! Get out! Leave it! Drop it! Big Rat, Small Pig, Rat Face, Butt Nugget, [BLEEP]... [Puss and Kitty look to each other with bewilderment] For Brains. You know that sort of thing. But... I've never had a name that really stuck, you know? That belonged to me.
Puss [Puss and Kitty are shocked]
Is he done?
And you are? [Holds out his hand]
Softpaws. [Hits him on the hand] Kitty Softpaws.
Wow. Yeah. Now, that's a good name. There's music in a name like that. Kitty Softpaws
Nice try. Classic con. No one's that dumb! No one's that nice! I don't trust you!
Puss Me neither. He cannot be trusted. [trying to take the map unnoticed]
But... [pulls the map towards her and holds her sword on Puss] I trust him more than I trust you! [Kitty presses a button, elongating the sword. Puss gets scared.]
[They are sailing on a boat on the River of relaxation] [makes cute eyes and says with echo]
Trust me.
Aw. But of course I trust you and Puss, even without the eyes.
Yeah? Big mistake.
What do you mean? You're my friends.
You know what trust gets you? A sock, a rock and a swim in the river.
You have to trust somebody, right?
Not me. Uh-uh. Whenever I've let my guard down, I've been double-crossed, declawed, played and betrayed. [looks at Puss] Never again. I am a solo act. I keep my secrets, and I play my cards close. That's how you get a winning hand. Take it from me. Never trust anyone. [shows him his sweater]
W-Wait. [understands that it's his sweater] That's amazing. [gasps] You're good.
Puss Kitty, I've been thinking.
Ugh... Thinking about what?
Puss My beautiful beard. It is very distinguished, yes, but it does deprive the world to a good look at, uh, the face. So, if it will make you happy, I could be convinced to...
I've gotten used to it.
Puss Wait, what?
The beard, keep it.
Puss Well, you see, uh... [rolls on the boat and cries in pain] Kitty, please! Get this itchy thing off of me! It's like a fever on my face!
Hold on. Is the great Puss in Boots asking for help?
Puss Sí, help. [Tries to cut it with his stick] You were right. The beard is disgusting.
And?
Puss And it's like a possum crawled on my face.
And?
Puss And died..of shame.
Okay, okay, possum face. I won't make you beg.
Puss Ow! [grunts] Hey, slow down. Oh! Go with the grain. You got to go with the grain.
I know what I'm doing.
Puss Hey!
I'm a master of the blade. Right, Perrito? [She made a pigtail out of his beard. Perrito laughs and snorts.]
Puss What?! What?! What's funny? Nothing should be funny!
Shh. Quieto. [Still] Ah, there's that handsome face I remember.
Puss I-- I am down to my last life. And, uh, I-- I am afraid.
Well, it's okay... to be afraid.
Puss No, not for Puss in Boots! I'm supposed to be a fearless hero! A legend! But... without lives to spare, I am... nothing. I need that to get my lives back.
You should tell Kitty. She would understand...
Puss [closes Perrito's mouth]
No, no, no, no. She cannot hear of this...
Okay...
[searching in the Dark Forest]
¿Adónde fueron ese idiota y su perro? (Where did that idiot and his dog go?)
Puss [audible to Kitty]
Kitty will never trust me again. Not after Santa Coloma.
But that's just one bad heist!
Puss Santa Coloma wasn't a heist, Perrito. It was a church, with a priest... [Scene flashes to how Puss is looking at the church from breakage] and guests... and Kitty. Everything, but me... I ran away then, too.
Oh... Ooh... [gasps] OOOOH! [shocked] You left her at the altar?!
Puss It was wrong, I know. I am ashamed. [Kitty continues secretly listening to the conversation] I just wish I hadn't hurt her so badly. I regret that day...
So, maybe you should tell that to Kitty. Might make you feel better. Might make her feel better too.
[After Three Bears and Goldilocks' home, it shows Puss and Kitty on the tree. Puss almost falls out of the tree, but his claws catch on the tree]
You okay?
Puss Sí, I am good. [chuckling] So good.
[Puss is almost falls out again, but Kitty catches him]
If you wanted to hold my hand, all you had to do was ask.
Puss Uh, just, uh, feel free to pull me up whenever you get a chance.
Oh, I was just remembering the last time I offered you my hand. Only that time, I believe you had cold feet.
Puss [Puss chuckles and Kitty pulls him up]
Kitty… [sighs] About that day. Puss in Boots is not supposed to be afraid. But outside that church in Santa Coloma, that was the first time I ever felt fear. So I ran. It was a mistake, Kitty.
It's okay.
Puss No, no. It was cowardly.
It's okay.
Puss You alone at the altar.
Puss.
Puss In your beautiful, poofy wedding dress.
Puss! It's okay. I didn't show up, either.
Puss Wait, what? What do you mean, you didn't show up?
Well, I knew I could never compete with your one true love.
Puss Who?
Puss Uh…
I wasn't gonna show up for that guy. [lifts Puss's hat] But you don't seem like that guy anymore. [wears his hat on]
Puss You know what?! You guys are jerks! Which is very confusing for me! I'll find my own way out! Adios! [turns to leaves]
Puss's Fifth Life: Oh, you think you are better than us?! Without us, you will always live a life of...
Puss [shocked]
You?
I do love the smell of fear. It's intoxicating.
Puss's Third Life: [hiccups] It is?
Sorry to crash the party with your past lives, or your past deaths, as I like to call them. I was there to witness all of them. Each. Frivolous. End. But you didn't even notice me, because "Puss in Boots laughs in the face of death", right? But you're not laughing now.
Puss You are no bounty hunter. You are...
Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or in any other fancy way. I'm Death, straight up. And I've come for you, Puss in Boots.
Puss But... I'm still alive!
[chuckles]
You know... I'm not a cat person. I find the very idea of nine lives absurd. And you didn't value any of them. So, why don't I do us both a favor and take this last one now?
Puss's Second Life: That's cheating!
Shh, don't tell.
Puss's Seventh Life: Run, Puss in Boots! Make the wish!
[Puss shrieks and starts running]
Go ahead, run for it. Makes it more fun for me. [growls, starts chasing Puss]
Puss [Puss runs after meeting with Death and arrives to the wishing star] [Puss reads the map; Kitty comes]
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish…
I can't believe I fell for it again.
Puss Kitty, you don't understand.
Don't understand what? That you've been playing me this whole time?
Puss I need this wish.
Oh, yeah? You want to know what my wish was? Someone, anyone I could trust. [takes the map away from him]
Puss Hey!
In my whole life, I've never had that! But I thought I finally found someone... without a wish. [lowers her sword] I thought it was you. But you're still running. Still the same old Puss in Boots.
Puss But I am not! I am not Puss in Boots. I'm… [sighs] I am on my last life. I need to get my lives back. Without them, I am not… I-- I am not…
What? The legend? [chuckles] I still can't compete with your one, true love. Go on, [throws the map] get your lives back. [grunts] Just keep them out of mine.
Puss [whimpering]
KITTY, DEATH IS AFTER ME!
What?
[He leaps down, pulling his magic staff out of his bag.]
But never death. I like it! That's MY wish!
[After the fight with the crime family and Jack]
Yeah, I don't know what to do with this, but if you think you need those lives…
Puss Thank you, Perrito.
You know, I've only ever had one life, but sharing it with you and Kitty has made it pretty special. Maybe one life is enough.
Puss [Death strolls onto the star]
He's here for me.
I've enjoyed the chase, gato, but I think we've reached the end now, you and I. You gonna take the coward's way out? Run away to more lives? Or are you gonna fight?! [throws his sword] Pick it up. Go on, pick it up. [Puss's life flashes before his eyes] What's the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?
Puss [Raises his head]
No. Just one. I'm done running. [Picks up his sword] FEAR ME, IF YOU DARE!
Puss [After fight with Death] [Pushes his sickle with his foot and he slides towards him]
Pick it up. [sighs] I know I can never defeat you, Lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life.
[growls viciously and turns away, yelling in frustration]
¡¿POR QUÉ DIABLOS FUI A JUGAR CON MI COMIDA!? (WHY THE HELL DID I GO PLAY WITH MY FOOD?!) [groans] You're ruining this for me! I came here for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal. [sighs] But I don't see him anymore. [Puss gasps softly] Live your life, Puss in Boots. Live it well. You know we will meet again, right?
Puss Sí. Hasta la muerte. (Yes. Until death.)
[Death whistles as he walks away and the fire disappears. Perrito runs to Puss.]
You know, when you said Death was after you, I thought you were just being melodramatic.
Puss [holds out the map]
The wish is yours. You deserve someone you can trust.
I don't need it. I've got what I wished for. No magic required. [Puss smiles]
Puss Kitty, one life spent with you is all that I could wish for.
[crying]
You saved my life, Sis. You were gonna make the wish, but you didn't make the wish 'cause you wanted to save your family. [shushing] And I-- I was really scared. And then… [sobbing]
Oi, don't get so blubbery about it. Whose porridge would I eat otherwise?
Mama Bear
I'm sorry you didn't get your wish, Goldi, love.
But I did, Mama. I did get my wish. Everything… is just right.
Mama Bear
Ah. Oh, now you've made me cry. Aw.
Now, what say we all go home and hibernate?
Hey, Goldi, you are a chip off the old block, you are.
Well, what can I say? I won the orphan lottery. [looks at Perrito]
Puss Goldi.
Bears.
Hey, Baby, you got any ideas for our next job?
Oh! Remember that pie factory? I suspect that they might be experiencing a leadership vacuum.
Mama Bear
Oh, family business. Oh, how exciting.
Now's a good time to talk about ethical business practices.
Hold still.
Oh, no, no, wait just a second. [Goldi grunts]
Ow! Hey! Hang on!
Puss Hey, Perrito, about that name. Let's pick one out for you.
Yeah. Oh, what about “Chiquito”?
Hmm…
Puss Ah. “Chomper.” What do you think, Perrito? “Chomper,” no?
I got it, I got it. How about “Jeff”?
Puss Jeff?
Yeah.
Puss He doesn't have a Jeff's face.
[chuckling]
You know, if it's the same to you, I think I'll just stick with “Perrito.” I kind of like it, since that's what my friends call me.
Then “Perrito” it shall be.
Puss [chuckles softly]
You know, to be honest, “Chomper” is pretty good.
Yeah, but no.
Puss Well, we'll keep, uh, workshopping it. [chuckles]
