Plot

edit

Seven-year-old Tim Templeton has always had an overactive imagination—and for the past seven years—life has been all peaches for him, getting all the love and affection from his caring parents. However, after the arrival of Boss Baby, an unexpected new brother dressed in a black suit complete with a tie and a briefcase, Tim will not be the center of attention anymore, as the powerful sibling takes over the whole house, robbing him of all care, little by little. But soon, Tim and the new Boss in a diaper will need to put differences aside and join forces, as a sneaky scheme involving the head of Puppy Co. threatens to tilt the balance of power towards their insidiously adorable furry antagonists, not to mention that the next Pet Convention is only in two days. Brothers, hurry up.

Survival of the fittest
It is the law of the jungle
There is always someone trying
to take what is yours
How do I know?
It almost happened to me
Tim Templeton...
quit monkeying around
Hot dogs are getting cold
Hot dogs?
At least, this is how I remember it
All right buddy, let is eat
You see, I was seven years old...
and back then
you relied on your imagination
When I wasn't exploring the Congo
I was a deep-sea diver
Tim
Our hero
Do not worry, Mom and Dad
I got this
Grab on
Some days, I rescued my parents
That way
Other days, they rescued me
- I am losing control
- Tim, look out
Tree
You are breaking up
Slow down, Tim
- Turn, Tim
- Turn
- Are you hurt?
- I am okay
Show Mommy your teeth
It was just the three of us
The Templetons
And three is the perfect number
Interesting fact:
did you know that the triangle
is the strongest shape found in nature?
I was the luckiest kid ever
My parents even had cool jobs
They worked for the biggest pet company
in the world
Puppy Co
Yes, Mr. Francis?
- Puppy Co needs you
It is gone time
They worked in a department
called "Marketing"
where they got to launch new products
Even though my parents worked really hard
they still made just enough time for me
Three stories, five hugs
and my special song, right?
You got it
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment
to arise
Hey, Tim. How would you like
to have a baby brother?
No, thanks. I am enough
Life was good
Life was perfect
But as I drifted off to sleep...
something my parents said got me thinking.
Where do babies come from?
The day I got a little brother started
like any other day
but little did I know
my life would never be the same
Wake up, little halflings
It's 7:00 a.m.
Wake up, little halflings
Morning, Whizzy
What great adventure
lies in wait for you today.
Oh, yeah
My parents always said that I had
an overactive imagination
But I clearly remember...
the baby was delivered in a taxi
What the...?
Hey
Tim, look who is here
Meet your new baby brother
Baby what?

Dialogue

edit
[Opening lines]
[Young Tim rustles through leaves in an imaginary jungle scene]
Adult Tim: [narrates] Survival of the fittest. It is the law of the jungle. There is always someone trying to take what is yours. [a comical blue gorilla sniffs a lantern and throws it, followed by a growl] How do I know? [Young Tim jumps down onto the jungle floor and screen freezes when Tim gets up] It almost happened to me.
Ted and Janice: [singing "Blackbird"] Blackbird singing in the dead of night / [Ted imitates roar] Take these broken wings and learn to fly / All your life / You were only waiting / For this moment to arise.
Janice: Tim, look who is here.
Ted: Meet your new baby [in slow-motion voice] brother.
Tim: Baby what?
Ted: Brother.
Tim: [about the baby] Look at him! He wears a suit!
Janice: I know. Is not it cute? He is like a little man!
Tim: He carries a briefcase! Does no one else think that is... oh, I do not know... a little freaky?
Ted: Well, you carried Lam-Lam around until you were like-
Tim: This is not about Lam-Lam.
[Boss Baby snickers]
Boss Baby: I am making great progress with the parents already. Oh, the usual procedure, sleep deprivation, hunger strikes. They are very disoriented. I have got them, eating out of the palm of my hand. They do everything for me. It is hilarious. But I think the kid might be on to me. No, I can handle him. I know how this important mission is to the company.
Tim: Mission?
Boss Baby: Well, trust me, ma'am. You have got the right baby for this job.
Tim: Hands up, devil baby!
Boss Baby: Fart! Poop! Doody! [Tim screams and exclaims while a toy gun is firing] I have got to deal with the K. I. D.
Tim: You can talk!
Boss Baby: Uh, goo-goo ga-ga.
Tim: No! You can really talk! I heard you!
Boss Baby: Fine! I can talk. Now let's see if you can listen. Give me a double espresso and see if there is someplace around here with decent sushi, I did KILL for a spicy tuna roll right about now. [gives Tim some money] Get yourself a little something.
Tim: Who are you?
Boss Baby: Let is just say... I am the boss.
Tim: The boss? You are a baby. You wear a diaper.
Boss Baby: You know who else wears diapers, astronauts, and NASCAR drivers, that is who, called efficiency, Templeton. The average toddler spends, what? Forty-five hours a year on the potty? [laughs] I am the boss. I do not have that kind of spare time.
Tim: Well... you are not the boss of me.
Boss Baby: I am the boss of you.
Tim: No, you are not.
Boss Baby: Am, too. [Tim: Are not.] Am, too. [Tim: Are not.] Am, too! [Tim: Are not!] Am, too! [Tim: Are not!] [over recording] Am, too. [Tim: Are not!] Am, too. Am, too. Am, too. Am, too.
Tim: I was here first. Just wait until Mom and Dad find out about this!
Boss Baby: Oh, yeah? You think they did pick you over me? With your track record?
Tim: You do not know anything about me.
Boss Baby: So that is how you want to play it, huh? Let is see. Templeton, Timothy, middle name. [laughs] I am sorry, Leslie! Mostly C's.
Tim: How do you know all that?
Boss Baby: Can not ride a bike without training wheels? Even bears can ride a bike without training wheels, Leslie. DOB says you are seven.
Tim: Seven and a half.
Boss Baby: [snores] Power nap! Uh, you were saying?
Tim: I am seven and a half.
Boss Baby: Exactly, you are old. It is time to make way for the next generation. It is the way of the world. You would never ask your parents for an old toy.
Tim: Lam-Lam?
Boss Baby: Everyone wants the hot, new thing.
Robot: Destroy.
Tim: Lam-Lam!
Boss Baby: I have got fresh batteries! BOOM!
Tim: Mom and Dad do not even know you. They love me!
Boss Baby: Oh yeah? Do the math, kid. There is only so much love to go around. It is like these beads. You used to have all your parents' love. All their time, all their attention. You had all the beads, but then I came along. Babies take up a lot of time. They need a lot of attention. They get all the love.
Tim: We could share.
Boss Baby: You obviously didn't go to business school. Look, Templeton, the numbers just do not add up. There is not enough love for the two of us. Not enough beads to go around. And then, all of a sudden... [gasps] there is no place for Tim. Tim does not fit anymore. Oh no! What about Tim? [laughs] So keep quiet, stay out of my way, or there is going to be cutbacks. [flicks fingers]
Tim: [scoffs] You can not be fired from your own family! Can you?
Boss Baby: Thank you all for coming here on such a short notice. Now, before we begin... [Is the kid listening?]
Triplet One: Yes, sir!
Triplet Two: Sure is!
Triplet Three: Affirmative!
Boss Baby: Jimbo, run some interference.
Tim: Hey!
Boss Baby: We babies are having a crisis!
Triplet One: Oh no!
Triplet Two: That is awful!
Triplet Three: Horrible!
Staci: What is it?
Boss Baby: Well, it is simpler if I just show you. Teddy, if you please.
Story Bear: Let's put on a show!
Triplets: Oh. [Staci gasps]
Story Bear: Here we go!
Boss Baby: Jimbo, hit the lights. [Jimbo hits lights] You see, babies are not getting as much love as we used to.
Staci: Why? Have we been bad?
Boss Baby: No, Staci. But I will tell you who is. Behold our mortal enemy. Puppies! [All: Aww!] No, no, that is exactly the problem!
Tim: Puppies? What is the deal with puppies?
Boss Baby: Throughout history, people have loved babies more than anything in the world. We have always been must-have item, number one on every wish list. Puppies were merely accessories. But all that changed when the puppies began coming out with new designer models. Each one more adorable than the last. Remember the Labradoodle? The Peekaboo? The Chiweenie? Try to say "Chiweenie" without smiling. [All: Chiwee...] Not possible. Do not waste your time. We all laughed at the Shar Pei. [Jimbo laughs] And now it is number one in China.
Triplet One: Oh no!
Triplet Two: That is terrible!
Triplet Three: Horrible!
Boss Baby: Yes. And it gets even worse. Francis, the CEO of Puppy Co, made this announcement. Teddy, roll the clip.
Francis: And we are on schedule to release the most adorable puppy ever! We are going to launch it at the pet convention in Las Vegas! Watch out, world! It is going to crush the competition!
Jimbo: [laughs] Yay!
Boss Baby: No, Jimbo. No "yay". We are the competition! This is war. Puppies are winning, and babies are losing. Thank you, Teddy. And if this new puppy is as cute as we fear, it could put the baby business out of business, baby.
Triplet One: Uh-oh!
Triplet Two: That is awful!
Triplet Three: Bad news, baby!
Staci: What are we going to do?
Boss Baby: My job is to find out exactly what that new puppy is, so that Baby Corp can stop it. And you are going to help me.
Triplet One: Genius!
Triplet Two: Home run!
Triplet Three: You still got it, boss!
Staci: Yay!
Boss Baby: Yay. Now, your parents all work for Puppy Co. So, have you learned anything from them?
Triplet One: Yes, sir!
Triplet Two: Sure did!
Triplet Three: Mm-hm!
Boss Baby: Fantastic. Triplets, go!
Triplet One: A.
Triplet Two: B.
Triplet Three: C.
Triplet One: D.
Boss Baby: No, what have you learned about the new puppy?
Jimbo: [laughs] Yay, puppy!
Boss Baby: No, Jimbo! Puppies are evil! Staci, read back the notes.
Staci: I cannot read. What is it saying? [Jimbo rattles, Boss Baby stops the rattle with Jimbo]
Boss Baby: This is my team!? A muscle-head, a bunch of yes men, and a doodler?
Triplet One: Exactly!
Triplet Two: Affirmative!
Triplet Three: Good call!
Triplet One: Oh yeah!
Triplet Two: Nice one, BB!
Tim: Gotcha!
Boss Baby: (to Jimbo) PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN! COOKIES ARE FOR CLOSERS!
Story Bear: Let's have another show!
Boss Baby: No, Teddy! No! [Staci cries]
Story Bear: How about a hug?
Boss Baby: No more shows!
Triplet: Boss!
Story Bear: There is plenty of love to go around!
Boss Baby: Teddy, go to sleep!
Story Bear: [in low-battery voice] Good nighty-night...
Triplet: Boss, Boss!
Boss Baby: WHAT?!
Triplets: PARENTS!
Ted: Aww! It is like they're having their own little meeting!
Janice: Is not that adorable?
Man: Who wants dessert?
Boss Baby: [takes his foot out of his mouth] God, this is so humiliating! [it repeats on the tape]
Tim: [determined] Wait until Mom and Dad hear this. [gasps, finds Boss Baby and his infants]
Boss Baby: Hey, Templeton. What have you got there?
Tim: [hides the tape] Uh, nothing.
Boss Baby: Hand over the tape.
Tim: Never! [rushes outside and finds Janice and Ted inside] Mom! Dad! Over here!
Janice: Hi, Timmy!
Ted: Hi! Anyway...
[Tim gets surrounded by Boss Baby and his infants. They are in vehicles. Staci in a kid's flower bike.]
Girl: (on recording) Flower power!
[Jimbo rolls his ball popper. The triplets in a firetruck. Boss Baby in a police car.]
Boss Baby: [through a bullhorn] You can not get away from Johnny Law, simpleton.
[the chase starts]
Tim: Ha! [runs]
Girl: Fasten your seat belt! Let's go!
[Staci gets stuck in a sandbox, and pouts]
Jimbo: Run, run, run, run, run... [crashes through a fence. The triplets ride in the firetruck and snatch the tape]
Tim: Hey! [finds the hose rolling out] Hmm.
Triplet: [gasps] Uh-oh! [Tim ties the hose to a pole with tap and yanks it really hard, which sends the triplets and the tape flying]
Triplets: [flying through the air] WHOA!
Jimbo: [runs out of the fence] Run, run, run, run, run, run, run!
[Jimbo catches them, and the firetruck hits the ground explodes, sending the tape flying]
Tim: Whoa!
Boss Baby: Yes! [grabs the tape and flies in the air then comes back to the ground] Oh, yeah! [finds Tim in the police car, then Tim splutters] Let go, you little...
[scene cuts to Ted and Janice looking outside a window]
Janice: Oh, look, the kids are finally getting along.
Ted: That is nice! [Janice and Ted clink glasses together]
[Boss Baby swings Tim around, then falls onto the grass, the babies come in, Boss Baby makes a throat cutting gesture, and the babies charge]
Tim: Sayonara! [rides a rope into his treehouse, and grabs suction cup darts and a Nerf gun] You want to play? Let's play! [uses a paper clip and swings down on a rope and shoots suction cup darts at Jimbo]
Jimbo: Nooooo! Save boss, save boss! [gets suction cup darts on him. The tape drops. Tim grabs the tape]
Boss Baby: Get him!
Triplets: I got him, I got him, I got him! [Tim jumps on a trampoline into the window of the house, and Staci and the triplets bounce on the trampoline, unable to reach the window. Staci flies into the air and gets stuck in a tree]
Tim: You are toast, baby man!
Boss Baby: Upsies! I need upsieeees! [Jimbo twirls him, and Boss Baby flies into a window, breaking it.]
Ted: [comes out with a plate of cheese-sticks] Who wants... [drops the plate] cheese-sticks! [They look at the mess. Jimbo stands still. The triplets play with the broken glass from the window that Jimbo threw Boss Baby into it. Staci is stuck in the tree. She looks at them, with a confused expression on her face, and cries.]
Woman: Oh! Oh! Oh!
Tim: Mom, Dad! I've got proof! [Boss Baby runs in his walker and gets vampire teeth and bites Tim on the leg] Ah! [Boss Baby tumbles, and Tim slides down the stairs] Oh, someone cannot go down the stairs? Ha!
Boss Baby: Nothing can stop me! [rolls down the stairs, then Tim opens the door, and he rolls outside, and Tim closes the door]
Tim: Mom, Dad! Where are you guys? Hello! Where did everyone go? [runs into the office room] Mom, Dad! The baby can talk!
Boss Baby: Oh, can he now? [turns to Tim in a chair]
Tim: Wait, how did you...?
Boss Baby: Hand over the tape, Timmy. Or Lam-Lam gets it, see? [grabs a stapler]
Tim: No!
Boss Baby: What is that, Lam-Lam? Oh, you want a nose ring? Well, it is really not my scene, but who am I TO JUDGE?! [staples Lam-Lam's nose, then Tim whimpers] And an eyebrow ring. Seems like a little bit too much, Lam-Lam! [staples Lam-Lam's eyebrow]
Tim: Ah!
Boss Baby: How is that going to look in a job interview?
Tim: Stop it!
Boss Baby: The tape, Timmy, or I am going to rip-rip-rip-rip-rip-rip-rip...
Tim: NOOOOO! [grabs Lam-Lam and they tug at her] Let go!
Boss Baby: You let go!
Tim: You let go!
Boss Baby: Give me the tape!
Tim: Give me Lam-Lam! [pauses; gasps, seeing Lam-Lam ripped, then glares at Boss Baby]
Boss Baby: Whoops! Too far! [Tim grunts, grabs him] Templeton, Templeton, let’s be reasonable! We can be reasonable, right? What are you doing?!
Tim: [throws Boss Baby in a baby jumper and opens the curtains and window] You have been asking for this since you got here! [puts the jumper up on the window]
Boss Baby: We can talk about this over a juice box!
Tim: [pulls it back to use as a slingshot] Time for juice boxes is over!
Boss Baby: No, no, Templeton! You would not!
Tim: Say bye-bye, baby! You are fired!
Ted: [enters the room with Janice] Tim, what are you doing?!
Tim: [looks at his father] Nothing. [Boss Baby looks at Ted, and cries. Tim let us go of the jumper, accidentally shoots the tape out the window, then it lands onto the road and gets run over in tape is broken by a passing car, horrified, gasps] My proof! [Boss Baby grins triumphantly]
Janice: Tim! [takes Boss Baby] Explain yourself!
Ted: Yes, explain yourself!
Tim: It was not me! It was the baby's fault!
Ted: The baby's fault?
Tim: It is true, he can talk! They all can talk! They are having a meeting! There is something about puppies! It is one big baby con-spy-racy!
Janice: [shocked] Timothy Leslie Templeton! [Boss Baby snickers]
Ted: We are very disappointed in you!
Janice: [corrects Ted] No, we are mad at you!
Ted: Exactly, we are mad at you!
Tim: [heartbroken] Mad?
Ted: You need a time-out!
Janice: [corrects Ted again] You are grounded!
Ted: Yes, grounded, for two?
Janice: Three!
Ted: Three days?
Janice: Weeks!
Ted: Weeks! three weeks!
Janice: For three ... EVERS!!!
Tim: [heartbroken] Grounded?
Janice: You are going to stay in this house with your baby brother... [Boss Baby looks at her] until you learn to get along.
Boss Baby: [slight pauses; disappointed] Oh, great. [Tim looks down in disappointment. The scene fades to a jail/prison cell]
Adult Tim: [narrates] It was my first time behind bars. The big house. The lock-up. Grounded for life. The minutes turned into hours, the hours into days. Every man has his breaking point. This was mine.
Tim: [about "Blackbird"] Stop it, that is my song, not yours! My parents wrote it just for me!
Boss Baby: Really? Your parents are Lennon and McCartney?
Tim: No, Ted and Janice. You do not even know their names. You are just trying to steal them from me! You stole everything! You are the one who should be in jail!
Boss Baby: [sighs] Look, it is time we put our differences aside. Oh, uh, have you been...
Tim: No!
Boss Baby: Oh, where's HR when you need them? Take it.
Tim: I do not want your filthy money.
Tim: [regarding Baby Corp] So this whole place is run by babies?
Boss Baby: Yep.
Tim: My dad says, "Those who can, do. And those who can not, supervise."
Boss Baby: Your father is a hippie.
Big Boss Baby: You are fired!
Boss Baby: Oh no!
Big Boss Baby: YOU ARE ALL FIRED! THE PET CONVENTION IS IN TWO DAYS!
Tim: What was Big Bossy Baby Lady screaming about?
Boss Baby: [stressed] She is demanding actual results. The pet convention is in two days... AND I HAVE GOT NOTHING! [phone rings] That's her! Do not answer it! [he chucks the phone into a dirty diaper bin, and Tim dodges it. Boss Baby nearly falls asleep but wakes up again] AH! STRESS NAP! [Squeezing Senor Squeaky as he paces back and forth across the room] If I do not find out what that new puppy is and fast, not only will I not get that promotion, I COULD GET FIRED!
Tim: Hey, relax. I am sure there is other cool jobs for babies, right? [snaps his fingers; condescendingly] Meanwhile, two days goes by like that. [holds up Boss Baby is briefcase] You better start packing.
Boss Baby: [enraged] WHAT!?!?!? [belligerently throws Senor Squeaky into Tim is groin]
Tim: [in agony] Ohhhh!
Boss Baby: [grabs Tim by his shirt] YOU DO NOT GET IT, TEMPLETON!!! If I am fired, they will take away my formula. I will turn into a normal baby and live here forever with you!
Tim: No!
Boss Baby: Yes! And I promise you this: Every morning you wake up, I will be there. Shh. Every night at dinner, I will be there. Every birthday party, I will be there. Every Christmas, I will BE THERE!!! Year after year after year. We will grow old together. You and I... will be brothers. Always.
Tim: I will help you, but just to get rid of you. Deal?
Boss Baby: Deal.
Janice: Hey, what is all the racket?
Tim: Aw! Is not he adorable?
Janice: Oh, I have got one for you, too! Ahoy, matey!
Ted: Ooh.
Tim: What?
Boss Baby: [snickers] Bummer!
Boss Baby: Tim, I may look like a baby, but I was born all grown-up.
Tim: I cannot even imagine not being a kid. You missed out on your whole childhood? You never had someone to love you?
Boss Baby: [yawning] Well, you cannot miss what you never had.
Ted: They have a puppy pool and everything!
Janice: [sarcastically] Oh, is not that sanitary?
Boss Baby: [in puppy costume] I have never been so humiliated in all my LIFE! [dog sniffs costume's bottom part] Ugh!
[Tim laughs]
[Eugene groans]
Francis: [laughs] Thanks for dropping in, kids.
Tim: Francis?
Francis: I see you have met my big brother, Eugene. A man of few words. [Eugene takes off his Puppy Co. Pete head and makes a growling gibberish noise] None, in fact.
Tim: Do you put your head back on, please?
[Eugene yells]
Boss Baby: What is all this?
Francis: [takes out a Baby Corp pacifier] Surprise!!
Boss Baby: A Baby Corp binky? Where did you get that?!?!
Francis: Oh, you do not recognize me? Perhaps from my youth!
[Francis pulls a rope, separating two curtains behind him to reveal a portrait of Boss Baby is idol, Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby]:
Boss Baby: Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby?
Tim: Whoa. He is him? And him, is you? Except older and wrinklier. [reacting to Francis sucks on the pacifier] That is not right.
Boss Baby: No. You were my hero! How did you end up... here?
Francis: [irritated] You know what I do to little kids who ask lots of questions about me? Eugene!
[Eugene takes a pop-up book out of his sleeve. The boys cower, but sigh in relief after it is revealed]
Francis: [happily] I read them my story. [as Eugene sets down cookies] And... I BAKED COOKIES! Eugene, my chair.
[Eugene lowers his body to form a chair, and Francis sits on his lap]
Francis: [opens the book] Now, it all started at Baby Corp. A long, long time ago. I was a hotshot executive headed straight to the top. Everyone loved me. They gave me a promotion, the corner office, my very own...
Boss Baby: Personal potty?
Francis: Shing! I had it all. [sadly] But then, one day, I made a terrible discovery. I was getting... old. The formula was not working anymore. It turns out I was lactose intolerant.
Boss Baby: No!
Francis: Yes! I got called in to see the board of directors.
Tim: Who are the boring directors?
Francis: The biggest baby bosses of them all. I thought they loved me. But they replaced me with someone new. Someone younger.
Tim: That's horrible.
Francis: All of a sudden, she got all the love, all the attention. You know how that feels, don't you, Tim? It hurts, doesn't it? [hands a cookie to Tim]
Tim: Yeah, it does. [eats the cookies] And then what happened?
Francis: [weeping] Well... [angrily snaps with a red hue glowing on his face] THEY FIRED ME!!! AND TOOK AWAY MY SPECIAL FORMULA! THEN THEY SENT ME DOWN TO LIVE WITH A… [stammering] family!
Boss Baby: Oh, Francis, no!
Francis: BABY CORP BETRAYED ME!!! AND I AM FINALLY GOING TO GET REVENGE! WITH! [Boss Baby and Tim scream, then Francis flips the page to reveal a small white puppy with black ears and big green eyes; gleefully] The Forever Puppy.
Tim: Huh?
Boss Baby: That is, it?
Francis: [as he is flipping pages] No, no. Imagine a puppy that never grows up. A puppy that stays a puppy forever. Once I launch my Forever Puppies to every corner of the world, they'll be so adorable...
Imaginary Voices: How cute!
Francis: ...no one will ever want a baby ever, ever again. The end... of Baby Corp!
[He does a maniacal laugh as he attempts to close the book, but the pages fold out so much that it doesn't close, so he angrily tosses it into a nearby fireplace]
Boss Baby: Oh, please. A puppy that never grows up. That is impossible! [After brief silence] Is not it?
Francis: Oh, it was, until you brought me the key ingredient.
[Eugene snatches the formula from Tim's backpack]
Boss Baby: My secret formula.
Francis: [snatches the formula from Eugene] IT IS MINE! IT IS MINE! It's all mine.
Boss Baby: No!
Francis: [as he sends the formula up a capsule pipeline] You brought me the very thing I needed to destroyed Baby Corp.
Boss Baby: No!
Francis: Yes! [laughs] You walked right into my trap!
Boss Baby: YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!
Tim: Yeah, not if we-
Francis: What? Tell? Who are you going to tell, Tim? Your parents?
[Francis plays live surveillance footage of Ted of Janice looking for them]
Janice: Where are the boys?
Ted: I told them to stay in the Puppy Zone.
Francis: I am taking them both with me to Las Vegas. So, stay out of my way. [crushes a cookie] I did hate for them to get... terminated.
Tim: Ha! They did never leave us alone!
Francis: Oh, really? [snaps fingers, prompting Eugene to change from his business attire to that of a Mary Poppins-like nanny] Wait until they meet Puppy Co. is certified in-house childcare expert.
Both: Ah!
Eugene: Hoo-Hoo-Hoo!
Both: Oh no.
Ted: Don't be nervous, buddy.
Janice: It's only overnight.
Ted: We'll be back before you know it.
Janice: Besides, you boys are in great hands. [TBA]
Francis: That is right, Eugenia is practically perfect in every way!
Tim: No, please don't go with him. Francis is trying to-
Francis: Oh, believe me, Eugenia will not take her eyes off your children. Not for one second.
Ted: That's very reassuring.
Francis: Now you see them... [crushes cookies] and now, you do not. Too-da-loo!
Eugene: Hoo-Hoo-Hoo!
Francis: To the airport!
Boss Baby: It is over, I am through. What do we do, Templeton, what do we do?
Tim: We have to get to the airport and stop Francis before the plane takes off.
Boss Baby: Yes, but how do we get past Scary Poppins down there?
Tim: Okay, there must be something we can do... Hey, it's not that bad? Are you okay? What is the matter with you?
Boss Baby: Ah! DO NOT LOOK AT ME! Oh no, without than formula, I turn into a normal baby! You know, goo-goo, ga-ga, the whole bit!
Tim: Oh no.
Boss Baby: Ah!
Tim: Bleugh! Gross!
Boss Baby: I am a ticking baby time bomb! I am going to turn it into a PUKING, POOPING, HELPLESS BABY!
Tim: Wait a second. That gives me an idea!
Boss Baby: What? What is it?
Tim: I have been through a lot of babysitters, and they all fear one thing.
TV Chef: Now ladies, the secret to deep fried butter, is a healthy dab of margarine.
Eugene: Mm. Yum-yum.
Tim: Hey, Mr. Lady Man! The baby, I think he's sick! You got to do something. Oh, the horror!
Boss Baby: Templeton!
TV Chef: Delicious!
Tim: Gross, it got in your mouth! Ew, it got in my mouth, too! I think I am going to be sick!
Boss Baby: [speaks Spanish] Swirly!
Tim: There's only an hour before the plane takes off.
Boss Baby: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's take the bike!
Tim: Uh, the bike? Um... I do not know. Ah!
Boss Baby: Let is move!
Tim: Okay, but wait right here.
Boss Baby: What? Where are you going? Templeton!
Tim: Always wear a helmet.
Boss Baby: Too-da-loo, toilet head!
Tim: Ha! You will never catch us!
Boss Baby: Staci! [over speaker] Staci, come in!
[Staci cries]
Woman: Oh, Staci.
Staci: Is that you, boss?
Boss Baby: Code red! I am being chased by a killer babysitter! Gather the team!
Staci: On it, boss.
Triplet one: Hello!
Triplet two: Hello!
Triplet three: Hello!
Staci: Code red!
Triplets: Got it! We got a code red! Repeat. We got a code red!
Boss Baby: What are you doing, Templeton? Go, go!
Tim: But that is jaywalking!
Boss Baby: Here, I will pay your ticket. Go!
Tim: I think we lost him!
Boss Baby: Oh no, we did not!
Girl: [on recording] Flower power!
Jimbo: Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!
Boss Baby: Ha-ha, that's my boy!
Jimbo: Poppy! Run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Triplets: Uh-oh.
Jimbo: Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run. [Eugene makes an evil chuckle, Tim and Boss Baby are riding a bicycle with training wheels, going after their parents, who are on their way to the airport, while being chased by Eugene]
Boss Baby: Tim, you have got to go faster!
Tim: I cannot! I cannot do it!
Boss Baby: You can! [leaps up onto Tim's shoulder] You've got it in you, Templeton! Now, eyes ahead! I said eyes ahead, son! Buttocks up! Now pedal like you mean it! Either you run the day, or the day runs you. [Tim pedals faster, Eugene almost catches them, but Boss Baby dodges his grasp, and they get further away] Good! [the bicycle's training wheels break off] Uh-oh!
Tim: Whoa! My training wheels! I cannot ride without training wheels!
Boss Baby: Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you're right!
Tim: Ah! What are you talking about?
Boss Baby: The path to success is not a straight line, Templeton, but rather a wild ride... like a ship at sea! And you're a sea captain, taming a turbulent ocean! [The scene transforms from a suburb to an ocean, with Tim and Boss Baby riding a boat]
Tim: I am a sea captain, taming the ocean! [they evade the incoming "whale"]
Boss Baby: Good!
Tim: Tree! I am going to hit it!
Boss Baby: Aim for failure, and you will always succeed.
Tim: What?
Boss Baby: AIM AWAY FROM FAILURE! [Tim steers away from the tree, the scene transforms back into a suburb backdrop]
Tim: I'm doing it, I'm doing it! [They travel through a forest, with Eugene close behind who is smashing past trees]
Boss Baby: Once success is a habit, then it's all down...
Tim and Boss Baby: HILL! [They ride down a hill, at which time, they see the car which their parents are in with Francis]
Tim: Look, there they are! Mom, Dad! [as the car passes the train crossing, the train passes by] Train!
Boss Baby: Choo-choo! [They continue to approach the train crossing, with Eugene close behind] Templeton, stop! [Tim notices a mold of sand at a construction site next to the tracks, Tim steers towards it] What are you doing? [Tim pedals faster, the scene transforms into a ramp, with them riding a motorcycle, at the end of a ramp there is a ring of fire]
Tim: We're gonna make it!
Boss Baby: But I don't have a quote for this! [They jump, Boss Baby yells out "Aaahhh!", and they make it, as the scene transform back into the "real" world, Eugene crashes into the mold of sand, ending the pursuit] (to Tim) You did it!
Tim: No, we did it!
Boss Baby: And all without your training wheels.
Tim: Coming through!
Boss Baby: Baby on board!
Tim: Hang on to your diaper! Duck and cover!
Guard: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it, buddy!
Man: I'm gonna need a strip search on two.
Tim: Um, there they are! Mom, Dad!
Boss Baby: Hey, not so fast! Uh! Oh no. [laughs] Templeton!
Man: Hey! [Tim: Sorry!]
Tim: Hey, where'd you go? [TBA] Oh no. Not again! Not now.
Boss Baby: Ugh! What the...? No! No, no, no!
Tim: [takes Boss Baby] Come on!
Boss Baby: I think I ate $1.75.
Tim: Excuse me, coming through! Mom, Dad!
Francis: Ah! Hurry now! Move! [Tim: Stop!] We don't wanna miss our flight! [Tim: No!] I warned you!
Tim: Wait! No! [Boss Baby: No, no, no!] Mom, Dad! Stop!
Boss Baby: No!
Tim: No, no, no! [watching Francis Francis escape on the Puppy Co. plane with his parents] They're gone.
Boss Baby: I failed.
Tim: I would've gotten to my parents if I didn't have to go back for you!
Boss Baby: What? We would have been here in plenty of time if you knew how to ride a bike like a normal kid! We're never going to stop the launch on time.
Tim: Who cares? My parents are in danger!
Boss Baby: I care! Baby Corp is gonna go out of business!
Tim: Ah! That's all you ever talk about! You don't know what's it like to be part of a family!
Boss Baby: And you don't know what it's like to have a job!
Tim: You don't know anything about hugs, or bedtime stories, or special songs!
Boss Baby: Oh, please. Stop acting like a baby.
Tim: You're a baby!
Boss Baby: [gasps] You take that back.
Tim: My life was perfect until you showed up!
Boss Baby: Oh, believe me, kid, the feeling is mutual. I wish I'd never met you!
Tim: I WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN!
[Boss Baby is shocked by Tim's harsh words. He straightens his tie, and leaves.]
Tim: Where are you going? FINE!!
Tim: [singing] Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly, all your life, you were only waiting, for this moment to arise.
Airport Announcer: [over PA system] Would Timothy Templeton, please pick up the white courtesy phone? Timothy Leslie Templeton, please pick up the white courtesy phone. [snickers] Leslie.
Boss Baby: I can't do this without you, Tim. I need you.
Tim: I guess we do make a pretty good team.
Boss Baby: No, literally, I can't reach the doorknobs.
Captain Ross: [making an announcement] Hello! This is Captain Ross! Ladies and gentlemen, and those in coach, please fasten your seat belts. We're about to take off.
Boss Baby: We've gotta get to the convention center!
Tim: Should we get a taxi?
Boss Baby: Darn! I spent all my per diem! That's more our speed! [TBA] Right.
[TBA]
Tim: Excuse me, ladies! [TBA] Can we get a ride home? Jimmy's been sick and he needs his expensive medicine. [TBA]
All: Aww!
Girl: Where do you live, sweetie?
Tim: [sniffles] The convention center.
Boss Baby: Chicks dig babies.
Tim: Bleugh! The people of Long Island do not know how to make an iced tea.
Francis: Hey! What are you doing here?
[TBA]
Tim: Mom! Dad!
Francis: What are they doing here?
Ted: What are Tim and the baby doing here?
Francis: What are any of us doing here, really?

Both: Ah!
[Francis activates the rocket holding the Forever Puppies]
Automated Female Voice: Launch initiated.
Francis: [angrily] I'M LAUNCHING MY FOREVER PUPPIES, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! [throws away the key]
Tim: No!
Francis: Baby Corp stole all the love from me, and now I'm going to take it back from them. [to Tim] You should understand what I'm talking about! You got replaced just like me!
Tim: No! I'm nothing like you!
Francis: Bratty kid!
Boss Baby: Let our parents go! His parents. The parents.
Tim: Yeah!
Francis: [snaps] YOU COULD HAVE HAD YOUR PARENTS' LOVE ALL TO YOURSELF AGAIN! BUT NO! YOU BLEW IT! YOU LET THAT BABY BOSS YOU AROUND!
Boss Baby: He doesn't work for me.
Tim: We're partners. Ha!
[Tim attempts to tickle Francis, but Francis is unaffected]
Francis: Ha! I'm not ticklish.
[Francis notices Boss Baby is gone]
Francis: Hey! Where's the baby?
Boss Baby: Everyone has a tickle spot!
Francis: [as Boss Baby tickles him in the ear] My ears! Stop it! [Tim and Boss Baby get past Francis; Francis angrily throws his cane at the boys] LITTLE BRATS! [The cane hits Tim and Boss Baby and they are dangling on a platform over a pool of formula] Nothing is going to get in the way of my vengeance. NOT YOU, NOT ANYBODY!!! BABY CORP IS THROUGH! I WIN! HA!
Boss Baby: WRONG! You're not supposed to end with "Ha!"
[Boss Baby's pointer becomes a pirate sword in Tim's imagination, and the setting turns into a flying pirate ship at night; Tim, Boss Baby, and Francis are all wearing pirate clothes and Tim and Boss Baby are dangling on a plank]
Tim: That's right!
Francis: What?
Boss Baby You're supposed to end with...
Tim and Boss Baby: AAARRGGH!
Boss Baby: En garde!
[Tim and Boss Baby jump back onto the ship and engage in swashbuckling action with Francis.]
Tim: You're fired!
Boss Baby: And HERE'S your severance package!
[Boss Baby grabs Francis by the tie and tosses him off of the ship/platform into a void. This is followed by a transition back to reality; Francis actually fell into the pool of formula.]
Tim: Take that, you scurvy scally-wag!
Both: Argh!

Tim: Whoa!
Boss Baby: Ew!
Francis: [TBA] It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!
Tim: That's not right.

Boss Baby: Oh yeah? It's time you pick on someone your own size?
[TBA]
Francis: What? [TBA] Eugene! You put me down! You hear me? I am the boss of you!
Eugene: [After Francis turns back into baby, and is asleep, clearing his voice and speaking for the first time.] This time, we'll raise him right.

Tim: Well, I guess we both got what we wanted.
Boss Baby: It's a win-win.
Hazmat Baby: Forget about the baby, forget about the baby.
Tim: [narrates] Dear Boss Baby, I don't usually write very much but now I know that memos are for very important things. Even though I never went to business school, I did learn to share in kindergarten. And if there isn't enough love for the two of us, then I wanna give you all of mine.

Tim's Daughter: Is that a true story, Daddy?
