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]

Ray Whoa, whoa, whoa, Cap! You're making goo-goo eyes at my girl?! That's it, put them up! I'm going to make some shoes out of you!
[mistakingly thinks that Naveen is in love with Evangeline]
Prince Naveen No, no, Ray, I'm not in love with Evangeline, I am in love with Tiana!
Claim of Innocence from Lawrence
Lawrence I'm completely innocent! The Shadow Man bamboozled me!
[latest words before his taken away by policeman; '''Big Daddy La Bouff''': (furiously) Boys, dragged this maggot down to the perish prison.]
A Moment of Transformation and Confusion
Tiana Okay, Tiana, you can do this.
Prince Naveen Faldi Faldonza!
[checks to see if he is still a frog. He is. He glances down and sees Tiana's dress on the floor; silently]
Tiana You don't look that much different. But how'd you get way up there?
A Princess's Kindness to a Frog
Eudora 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.
[reads "The Frog Prince" to a young Tiana and Charlotte]
Young Charlotte Here comes my favorite part!
[whispering]
Eudora 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!
[still reading]
Young Charlotte Aww!
Eudora Then the frog was transformed into a handsome prince! They were married and lived happily ever after! The end.
[continues reading]
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 ? ?

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...
[chuckles]
Understanding Each Other's Flaws
Prince Naveen You know, waitress, I've finally figured out what is wrong with you.
Tiana Have you now?
Prince Naveen You do not know how to have fun. There. So, what do you have to say?
Tiana Thank you. Cause I figured out what your problem is, too.
Prince Naveen I'm too wonderful?
[a branch hits him]
Tiana No. You're a no-account, philanderin', lazy bump on the log!
Prince Naveen Killjoy!
[fake cough]
Tiana What did you say?
Prince Naveen Nothing. Stick-in-the-mud!
[fake cough]
Tiana Listen here, Mister. This "stick-in-the-mud" has had to work two jobs her whole life while you've been suckin on a silver spoon, chasing chambermaids round your ivory tower!
Prince Naveen Actually, it's polished marble.
The Power of Food to Unite People
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. Our food.
[writes "Tiana's Place" on the paper]
The Illusion of Wishes and Reality
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.
[snaps; leaves]

[exasperated; after a disappointed Travis walks away; rushes over to Tiana's table and grabs as many napkins as she can]
Tiana What on Earth for?
[confused]
Charlotte I swear I am sweatin like a sinner in church!
[stuffs the napkins inside the sleeves and neckline of her dress]
