The Princess and the Frog Page #2

Are you talking about

that dang restaurant again?

Buford, your eggs are burning.

Oh! You ain't never going to get enough

for the down payment.

-I'm getting close.

-Yeah, how close?

Where are my flapjacks?

(LAUGHING)

You got about as much chance

of getting that restaurant

as I do of winning the Kentucky Derby!

(EXCLAIMS)

Saddle me up, y'all! It's post time.

Giddyup, giddyup.

(MIMICKING TRUMPET)

-Morning, Mr. La Bouff.

-Good morning, Tiana.

Congratulations on being voted

King of the Mardi Gras parade.

Caught me completely by surprise,

for the 5th year in a row!

(LAUGHING)

Now, how about I celebrate with...

Beignets?

Got a fresh batch just waiting for you.

Well, keep them coming till I pass out.

Oh, Tia!

-Tia, Tia, Tia, did you hear the news?

-Hey, Charlotte.

Tell her. Oh, tell her, Big Daddy!

Oh, yeah, Prince Naveen...

Prince Naveen of Maldonia

is coming to New Orleans!

(SCREAMING)

Oh! Isn't he the bee's knees?

Tell her what you did, Big Daddy.

Tell her!

-Well, I invited...

-Big Daddy invited the prince

to our masquerade ball tonight!

(EXCLAIMS)

Tell her what else you did, Big Daddy.

Go on.

-And he's staying...

-And he's staying...

And he's staying in our house

as my personal guest.

(EXHALES)

Oh, Lottie, that's swell.

A little word of advice.

My mama always said,

"The quickest way to a man's heart

is through his stomach."

(CHUCKLING)

-Ah! That's it!

-What just happened?

Tia! You are a bona fide genius.

I'm going to need about 500

of your man-catching beignets

for my ball tonight.

Excuse me, Daddy.

Will this about cover it?

This should cover it just fine, Lottie.

This is it! I'm getting my restaurant!

(WHOOPS)

Tonight my prince is finally coming.

And I sure as heck ain't letting him go!

(CHARLOTTE WHOOPING)

Hmm.

Everything looks peachy-keen,

Mr. Fenner and Mr. Fenner.

We'll have all the paperwork ready

to sign, first thing after Mardi Gras.

I'll do you one better.

Why don't I sign them tonight

when I see y'all

at the La Bouffs' masquerade ball?

MR. FENNER 2:

You drive a hard bargain, Tiana!

(HORN HONKING)

Table for one, please?

Oh! Mama.

Here's a little something

to help you get started.

Daddy's gumbo pot.

Oh!

I know.

(TIANA SNIFFLES)

I miss him, too.

Well, now. Hurry up and open the door!

Just look at it, Mama.

Doesn't it just make you want to cry?

Yes.

The maitre d' is going to be right

where you're standing.

Oh! And over here, a gourmet kitchen!

And hanging from the ceiling,

a big old crystal chandelier!

(CHUCKLING) You're your

daddy's daughter, all right.

He used to go on and on

about this old sugar mill, too.

Babycakes, I'm sure this place

is going to be just wonderful,
