Jessie quotes from Toy Story 5 (2026)

Jessie

Buzz, you know me. I'm the definition of calm.

Jessie

You remember my first kid, Emily? The one I told you about who gave me away? (Woody: Of course I do, yeah.) It feels like that all over again. First we were playing… and then the world started changing. Emily changed and then… just like that… my time with her was over. Now I'm losing Bonnie to this device.

Jessie

I am done with this techno mumbo jumbo. No offense, but I'll be fine getting back on my own.

Jessie

Everything. Your Blaze ain't the kid you remember anymore. (Snappy: How would you know?) I've seen all this before. Spent a lot of years under the bed, watching my first kid grow up without me.

Jessie

BECAUSE OF YOU! BECAUSE OF ALL YOU DARN DEVICES! MAKING KIDS ACT OLDER! YOU STOLE ALL OUR TIME! I WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I NEEDED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! AND YOU RUINED IT! [pushes him]

Jessie

I'm sorry, Smarty. It's not you. I'm the one that's useless.

Jessie

Emily named her daughter... after me.

Jessie

Bonnie's growing up. And we don't get to decide when and how that happens. All that matters is we were there at the right time to help her along. And I gotta believe we were.

Jessie

You're stuck with me, deputy.

There. This way, you'll never lose me, Jessie. [yanks the pull-string on her back]

Jessie

Friends forever, partner.

That's right, partner. But don't you worry. I'll keep a good eye on you. [gets on the tire swing] See? I'm still watching.

Jessie

Psst. Dolly, what's going on?

Not sure. You know, at first I was mad Bonnie drew these glasses on me, but honestly, I can see so much better now.

Jessie

Dolly, focus!

Oh! Sorry. It's the Jordan twins. They're back home.

Buzz

Poor thing. She's still afraid to ask them to play.

Jessie

Not this time. [stealthily rolls towards the fence and pushes herself through the slots, then pulls the pull-string on her back; voice-box] Giddy-up there! Time's a-wastin'!

Jessie

Jumpin' jelly beans! Will y'all just settle down? Now, I'm gonna have some words with this Lilypad and and let her know how things are run around here.

Buzz

Try to stay calm, Jessie.

Jessie

Buzz, you know me. I'm the definition of calm. [tosses Bullseye up to the bed in anger jumps on it to confront her]

Buzz

Eh, it's not gonna work.

Lilypad

Hi!

Jessie

What the...?!

Lilypad

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you, sleep mode ya know? No? Ah, forget it. Was just gonna hop on the charger, battery could use a little refresh...

Woody

Jessie, hey. What's going on?

Curse technology!

Woody

Hey, quiet down.

We're all just landfill now!

Jessie

Woody, is it as bad out there for toys as they say it is?

Beware the machines!

Woody

Yeah. Yeah, it's bad. We're finding more abandoned toys each day. Why? Are you guys okay?

Jessie

Not really. Tech's invaded our house too.

Woody

Oh, no.

Jessie

Yeah, her name's Lilypad. Looks like a frog, but really, she's a leech, [through walkie-talkie] sucking up all of Bonnie's attention. Making her stare at her screen all day. There's got to be some way to stop it.

Woody

I don't know, Jessie. Uh… Toys are for play, but tech is… it's for everything.

Jessie

You remember my first kid, Emily? The one I told you about who gave me away?

Woody

Of course I do, yeah.

Jessie

It feels like that all over again. [voice-over during a flashback] First we were playing… and then the world started changing. Emily changed and then… just like that… my time with her was over. [Fade back to the present] Now I'm losing Bonnie to this device. Is it me? Am I just no good at being a toy?

Woody

Jessie, you're a good toy.

Jessie

I don't know.

Woody

Jessie.

Buzz

Okay. Jessie… [clears throat] No, Sheriff… Sheriff Jessie, I appreciate this promotion, but what I'd really like to promote… No, that is so stupid. [sees Bullseye approaching the closet through the reflection]

Jessie

But she got Bonnie invited to a sleepover in seconds.

Woody

Jessie, you know Bonnie better than anyone. What does your gut say?

Jessie

That it can't be that easy.

Woody

Mm-hmm.

Jessie

Bonnie won't click with just anyone.

Woody

Exactly.

Jessie

She needs to actually meet these girls. She's not like most kids. Bonnie plays different. She… She needs to play.

Woody

Jessie? You still there?

Jessie

You're right, Woody. Toys are for play. [through walkie-talkie] And play is how she'll find the right friend.

Woody

Okay.

Jessie

The age of toys may be over, but I'm gonna do something useful before I go. I'm going to that sleepover, and making a real friend for Bonnie!

Smarty Pants

Snappy! Atlas! They're still here! Oh! Bossy cowgirl, we have to turn them back on!

Jessie

No! No way! The last thing this world needs is more devices. [starts to close the drawer]

Smarty Pants

What, what, what? You're just gonna shove 'em back in the dark forever? Do you have any idea what that's like?!

Jessie

Fine. We gotta make this quick.

Smarty Pants

Yes! Number one! You made number–
[Jessie shuts him up in annoyance and inserts more batteries into Snappy and Atlas, activating them]

Smarty Pants

Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're saying that this was your room, too?

Jessie

Yes.

Smarty Pants

Really?

Jessie

What, you calling me a liar?

Smarty Pants

No… Yeah. Yeah, liar.

Jessie

There's a knot in the ceiling, looks like an angry eye when you squint at it. [then points to a window with a small crack in the upper right-hand corner] Window's got a small crack, like a spider in the upper right-hand corner. [then points at the other window, where the tire swing hill is in the distance] And out on that tire swing hill, Emily and I would play every summer afternoon. Now, Bullseye, let's go!

Smarty Pants

Uh, you're welcome.

Jessie

For what?! You didn't help me at all! You were--

Smarty Pants

What? Go on. Say it.

Jessie

Useless!

Oh, snap!

Oh, no, she didn't.

Jessie

Thanks, fellas. Pretty glad I met you devices.

Smarty Pants

Ah, don't be dumping us something you can't flush.

Jessie

It's her!

Hello. Can I help you?

Hi. I'm so sorry to bother you, but we got this message from your daughter. She seems to have found my daughter's toys. Are they in there?

Oh, okay. I'll have her get 'em. Blaze! Honey?

Yeah?

Can you bring down those two rag dolls you found? Their owner's here.

Okay!

Smarty Pants

That's our cue.

Blaze, this is, uh…

This is Bonnie.

Hello, Bonnie.

Hi. Are these your toys? [holds up Jessie and Bullseye]

I don't play with toys anymore. It's just their antiques.

They do look pretty old. Must be worth something at least, right?

No, they're not. You should keep 'em.

Smarty Pants

Oh, no.

Bonnie, you don't want them? Are you sure? [Bonnie sadly runs back to the car] Bonnie? Bonnie! I don't know what's come over her. I'm so sorry to have bothered you.

It's all right.

If you ever change your mind, Bonnie, just let me know.

Jessie

Bullseye. You shouldn't have followed me. Oh, bad horse. [sighs] You go back to Blaze's, Bullseye. You're better off. [Bullseye whinnies and blusters, then stomps his hoof on the ground in refusal] I'm serious. She'll take good care of you. And all those horses… [Bullseye blusters as he scoots a little closer to her and stomps his hoof on the ground again in refusal; sighs] Bullseye, no. I'm not going with you. I… can't do this again. I can't… love another kid just to find out I never mattered. [sadly breaking down] I… I can't. [Bullseye gazes at something on the tree and nudges Jessie to see; they step around and look at a carving on the trunk reading: "Jessie was here" and an arrow pointing downward at the base] I didn't write that. It must have been… [sees something glistening and she and Bullseye move a little closer; brushes the dirt off the surface and gasps] Emily? [whistles for Daffodil] Daffodil, dig! [Daffodil steps forward and digs out what is revealed to be an old metal lunchbox with a picture of horses on the lid; opens it and finds a collection of old momentums] Wait. This ain't stuff from Emily. It… It's newer. It doesn't make any sense. She wouldn't have any of this stuff. She'd be… [opens up a birthday card and finds a photo of an adult Emily kissing a young girl on the tire swing] all grown up. [looks at the daughter] Wait. [turns the photo around and finds a note reading: "Jessie, you will always be my little cowgirl. Mom"; gasps in surprise] Emily named her daughter… [drops to her knees] after me. [turns the photo back over, gazing at the daughter smiling at her mother's kiss; turns to Bullseye] Really?

Smarty Pants

"Jessie, I'm so sorry. Chose wrong friends. Hurt Bonnie."

Woody

Oh, no.

Buzz

Bonnie.

Jessie

Smarty, send a reply. "You can fix it."

Smarty Pants

"No, I can't. Threw myself away. On donation truck."

Jessie

What?! Jumpin' Jehoshaphat! Now she throws herself away?! [groans] We're going after her!

Buzz

What?

Woody

But how?

Jessie

Smarty, tell Lily to send a photo of where she is.

Got it.

Jessie

Snappy, zoom in on that blurry road sign.

Smarty Pants

Well, look at you with that tech talk, cowgirl.

Martin Avenue.

Jessie

Atlas, can you get us to that truck?

Already mapped it, cowboy lady.

Jessie

Tell Lily to keep sending photos of where she is. We're getting her back!

Jessie

Lily! It's okay. We got ya.

Lilypad

You shouldn't have come, Jessie.

Jessie

Nuh-uh. No time for pity parties, Lily. Bonnie still needs you to make a friend.

Lilypad

Me? But I… [scrolls through the Dance Girls' messages on her screen] I made a major miscalculation with Kara, Chelsea, and Heidi. You were right. Bonnie's different. She deserves better.

Jessie

Lily. You didn't know those girls were wrong for Bonnie.

Lilypad

No, I'm wrong for Bonnie. I'm the one who caused this.

Jessie

Well, then help me fix it. I found Bonnie the right friend.

Lilypad

You did?

Jessie

Yep. So, how about you and me connect them?

Lilypad

Uh… Okay.

Jessie

But first, we gotta get everyone off this truck and back home.

Buzz

Now, this is flying.

Woody

With style!

Jessie

Yee-haw! So, we're clear on the plan? Once you're at Bonnie's, you send the message, Blaze brings me and Bullseye to the house, and this time, they connect!

Lilypad

Jessie, wait. What if Bonnie rejects you again?

Jessie

If they become friends, it's all worth it.

Lilypad

Yes, Sheriff.

Buzz

Huh? Wait. Jessie, wait!

Jessie

What? What is it, Buzz?

Buzz

Just listen to me! I… I've been trying to ask you this, and if… if I don't do it now, I never will. [Jessie sees a truck approaching from the tunnel; struggling] Will you… Buzz, you can do this. Will… Will…

Jessie

You're stuck with me, deputy.
