The Princess and the Frog

Eudora: [reads "The Frog Prince" to a young Tiana and Charlotte] Just at that moment, the ugly little frog looked up with his sad, round eyes and pleaded, "Oh, please, dear princess, only a kiss from you can break this terrible spell that was inflicted on me by a wicked witch." Young Charlotte: [whispering] Here comes my favorite part! Eudora: [still reading] And the beautiful princess was so moved by his desperate plea that she stooped down, picked up the slippery creature, leaned forward, raised him to her lips, and kissed that little frog! Young Charlotte: Aww! Eudora: [continues reading] Then the frog was transformed into a handsome prince! They were married and lived happily ever after! The end. Young Charlotte: Yay! Read it again! Read it again! Eudora: Sorry, Charlotte. It's time for us to be headin' home. Say goodnight, Tiana. Young Tiana: There's no way, in the whole wide world, I would ever ever ever, and I mean never kiss a frog. Bleugh! Young Charlotte: ? [Randomsly] ?

I'm about to put this spoon in my... Young Tiana: [yanks the spoon out of her dad's hand] Wait! [adds some hot sauce to the gumbo, then tastes it] Done. [feeds the gumbo to James] James: Hmm. Young Tiana: What? James: Well, sweetheart, this is the...best gumbo I've ever tasted! Come here! Eudora, our little girl's got a gift! Eudora: I coulda told you that. James: A gift this special just gotta be shared.

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

Georgia: We all goin' out dancin' tonight. Care to join us? Male Customers: 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 baby] 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... Georgia: You can save for your restaurant. I know, I know. Girl! All you ever do is work!

Buford: Are you talkin' 'bout that dang restaurant again? Tiana: Buford, your eggs are burnin'. Buford: You ain't never gonna get enough for the down payment. Tiana: I'm gettin' close. Buford: Yeah. How close? Tiana: Where my flapjacks? Buford: [laughing] You got about as much chance of gettin' that restaurant as I do of winnin' the Kentucky Derby.
