Consequences of Unaccepted Deals
Dr. Facilier
Y'all shoulda taken ma deal. Now, you're gonna spend the rest o your life bein a slimy little frog!
[pins Tiana down with his cane; laughs]
Tiana
I got news for you, Shadow Man. It's not slime, it's mucus!
[grins; grabs the charm with her tongue; smashes it on the ground]
Dr. Facilier
No! NO!! How am I ever gonna pay back my debt?! Friends!
[picks up the remains and gasps in horror as colorful lights flicker around him. Tiana hides; three masks appear from the gravestones, chanting. Facilier smiles nervously]
The masks
♪ Are you ready? ♪
[smiling evilly]
Dr. Facilier
No! I'm not ready at all! In fact, I got lots more plans!
The shrunken heads
♪ Are you ready? ♪
Dr. Facilier
This is just a minor setback in a major operation! As soon as I whip up another spell, we'll be back in business! I've still got that froggy prince locked away. I just need a little more time! No, no, please, no! Just a little more time! I promise I'll pay y'all back! I PROMISE!
[voodoo dolls burst out of the ground, carrying drumsticks. Facilier shrieks; backs up against a tombstone with his shadow hiding behind him; The tombstone transforms into a huge demonic mask; squeals; a demon's hand grabs his shadow and starts to pulls him toward the mask's mouth; yelps in surprise; the demons chant and bang on drums; latests words before his death; screams; he is pulled into the mask's mouth, along with the other demons. The mouth shuts and becomes a tombstone with his shocked face, above his name, engraved on it]

The Cost of Freedom and Royalty
Dr. Facilier
Now you, young man, are from across the sea; you come from two long lines of royalty. 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. Mom and Dad cut you off, huh, pretty boy?
[singing; to Naveen; aside; talking]
Prince 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... 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 see. On you, little man, I don't wanna waste much time! You've been pushed around all your life! You've been pushed around by your mother, and your sister, and your brother. And if you was married...You'd be pushed around by your wife. But in your future, the you I see, is exactly the man you've always wanted to be! Shake my hand. Come on boys...Won't you shake, a poor sinner's hand? Yes...
[snickers evilly and sings; to Lawrence; singing; Naveen chuckles; talking; while both men shake Dr. Faciller's hands, the background dissolves to some creepy voodoo masks singing]

Dr. Facilier's Deal for Power and Souls
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. I hear ya, now what's in it for ya'll? 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. And you'll have all the wayward souls your dark little hearts desire. Ya'll like that, don't you? So, we have ourselves a deal? 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! Toute suite!
[the masks snarl; plaughs; pulls out a voodoo doll of Big Daddy La Bouff and a needle; whirls his hand around, showing an illusion of New Orleans; chuckles; the illusion shrinks into his hand; blows the illusions of screaming souls out of the illusion. The illusory souls waft upward into the masks' noses as they smile maliciously; dusts his hands; 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; slams cane on ground]

A Princess's Kindness to a Frog

[reads "The Frog Prince" to a young Tiana and Charlotte]
Young Charlotte
Here comes my favorite part!
[whispering]

Aww!
Eudora
Then the frog was transformed into a handsome prince! They were married and lived happily ever after! The end.
[continues reading]

Yay! Read it again! Read it again!

Sorry, Charlotte. It's time for us to be headin home. Say goodnight, Tiana.

The True Power: Money Over Magic
Lawrence
Oh, dear. Oh! You're so quiet.
[gasp; Dr. Facilier silently appears behind him]
Dr. Facilier
You let him go?!
Lawrence
The poor devil was gasping, so I'd loosened the lid, ever so slightly... How did I ever get tangled up this voodoo madness? I can't get through with this! You wear this-this ghastly thing!
[gets tripped by Facilier's shadow, who laughs maliciously; removes the talisman, changing into his true form; throws the talisman to Facilier]
Dr. Facilier
CAREFUL WITH THAT!!! ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THIS, I'M GONNA BE...! Fun fact about voodoo, Larry... ...can't conjure a thing for myself. Besides, you and I both know the real power in this world ain't magic. It's money! Buckets of it.
[catches the talisman; pauses as Lawrence quivers with fear; sighs and calms down; puts on the talisman; nothing happens]
Lawrence
That's true.
Dr. Facilier
Aren't you tired of living on the margins? While all those fat cats in their fancy cars don't give you so much as a sideways glance?
Lawrence
Yes...I am.
Dr. Facilier
All you gotta do is marry Big Daddy's little princess... And we'll be splittin that juicy Le Buoff fortune right down the middle...60-40, like I said.
[puts the talisman back on Lawrence]
Lawrence
Hmm...yeah. But uh...what about Naveen?
Dr. Facilier
Your little SLIP-UP... will be a minor bump in the road. So long as we got the prince's blood in this.
[smacks the back of Lawrence's head]
Lawrence
Yes...

[snaps; leaves]
