Tim
edit- [first line] Time is a funny thing. When I was a kid the days lasted forever, but the years... Well, they went by so fast. Before you know it, you are all grown up. It even happened to me.
- Once you grow up, you can never go back.
- Yeah, I guess sometimes you just... you grow up… and... grow apart.
- Hey, my old… [straining] What did you do?!
Ted Jr. / Boss Baby
edit- [as he is being chased by baby ninjas] Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
- The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!
- You want me to be a baby again?
- Never touch another man is pony.
- I have a beautiful voice.
Tabitha
edit- But, Uncle Ted, I have missed you so much.
- [after she gets a new pony from Ted] Oh my god. Uncle Ted is the best!
- [to her dad, Tim] Do not you think I am a little old for that now?
Tina / New Boss Baby
edit- [first words; to his daddy, Tim] Hi, daddy.
- I am in the family business.
- [to her daddy and uncle] Excuse me. I hate to interrupt, but may I make a suggestion - why do not you both suck it? [tosses two pacifiers into the air and throws them into their mouths]
- Baby Corp has developed a new super-duper baby formula that can turn a grown-up back into a baby. We have in it cherry, grape, orange, and lime.
- [to Armstrong] You know, doc, childhood does not last forever… but family sure does!
Carol
edit- You know what they say: it is all about the dough.
- Tina! What is your problem!
- [after hearing Tim is voicemail that was sent to Ted (secretly) by Tina] Well, that was unsettling.
Grandma Janice
edit- [staring suspiciously at Tim, a.k.a. Marcos Lightspeed] So, Marcos Lightspeed, is that what you said? [Tim: Mm-hmm.] Sounds like a cartoon name.
- You guys should really change the locks.
- [to Tabitha] Sweetheart, I cried, then I went blank.
Grandpa Ted Sr.
edit- Smile! [poses for a picture with his granddaughter]
- Aha! The key still works!
- Except Tim did not wear glasses.
Dr. Armstrong
edit- Why do parents get to be in charge, anyway? They had their chance, and what do we get? Pollution, politics, wars.
- We may be small, but we are about to teach grown-ups a big lesson.
- I even had parents. Mine were child psychologists who made me part of an experiment. [Ted, Jr.: Really?] They expose me to ten thousand hours of Mozart, language lessons, and public radio. [TJ: I hate public radio.] It was at that point, I realized I was smarter than my parents, and with my first step, I ran away from home. Why? They pushed me around. I got told what to do all the time, but a single word changed my life - "No".
Whizzy (Wizzie, Wizard)
edit- [in Tim is nightmare] Oh, he broke my arm!
- You shall not pass!
- Time's up!
- [sees a phone] Oh, sweet! He who findeth keepeth. [clears throat]
Others
edit- Nathan Pickles: You will be singing a different tune at rehearsal. The wrong tune.
- George: I like glue. Glue is good.
- Creepy Girl: [repeated line] I like ponies.
Dialogue
edit- [First lines]
- Tim Voice Over: Time is a funny thing. When I was a kid... the days lasted forever.
- Young Tim: (in the background) One, two, three... [Land on seven-year old Tim counting against a tree as his parents and Boss Baby hide in a bush]
- Tim's Mother: Hide, hide, hide!
- Tim's Father: Quick! Over here!
- Young Tim: Four, five, six...
- Tim Voice Over: But the years... well, they went by so fast.
- Tim's Mother: Tim, no peeking!
- Tim's Father: Yeah, no peeking! [The camera slowly circles the tree. On the other side of tree... Tim is now all grown-up]
- Adult Tim: Seven, eight, nine...
- Tim Voice Over: Before you know it... you're all grown-up, it even happened to me.
- Adult Tim: Nine and a half... Ten! Ready or not, here I come! [The screen freezes, on the goofy face Tim makes as he bursts out to give chase]
- Tina: [opens her briefcase and very carefully pulls out a bottle of formula] It's the perfect disguise. And it only lasts 48 teensy-weensy hours.
- Adult Tim: Oh, I am in on the mission!
- Tina: [slaps Tim's hand away from the bottle] Sorry, Pops, it's not your mission.
- Adult Tim: Aw...
- Uncle Ted: [reading the bottle] Warning: may cause drooling, babbling, emotional outburts, fits of laugter, loss of bowel control? Chubby thighs? I think some guys at my gym take this stuff. [He squirts a drop of the formula onto his finger and his entire hand shrinks] Ah! MY TEXTING HAND!
- Tina: (to Tim) Even though it is your daughter's school? Doesn't seem fair, does it? [Jumping at the chance to help his daughter, and one-up his brother, and Tim takes the bottle of formula] (deadpan) Daddy, no, please stop. [Tim takes a sip, and he reverts back to a teenager] [Adult Tim: Whoa!] What? It actually works!
- Uncle Ted: [straining] It's mine! [He sticks his tiny fingers up Tim's nose and wrestles the bottle from Tim. He takes a sip, and he also reverts back to a teenager, then Tina's reverse psychology is working] I'm better at this kind of thing!
- Tim: And what kind of thing is that, Flock of Seagulls? [They tackle each other, and the formula rolls away]
- Ted: Everything!
- Tim: Gotcha!
- Tina: [watches as they chase each other around the house, taking gulps as they grab the bottle back and forth] You might feel very emotional, have some mood swings. [She pulls a toy teapot out of her case and begins to set up a tea party for her and Story Bear. As the argument escalates, they continue to get younger, their now-oversize clothes falling off of them, and Tim hits the wall and shrinks again] [Tim: Hey!] Ouch, there's the awkward stage. Now the tea's hot, Connie.
- Tim: (in pre-pubescent voice) You always have to be the hero, don't you?
- Ted: What's that supposed to mean? [He sprays Tim's legs with the formula, they shrink, and Tim keeps running at Ted on tiny legs]
- Tim: (in pre-pubescent voice) Never see him... All of a sudden, he shows up with a pony!
- Ted: You're just jealous, helmet head!
- Tim: She's my daughter! [He stomps on Ted's coat, and Ted falls back into him]
- Ted: She's my niece!
- Tina: (to Story Bear) Do you want cream or sugar? [The two stumble backwards onto Tina's exersaucer and fly down the hall. Tim hits the wall, cracking a picture of the brothers laughing together as children]
- Ted: I was always the successful one!
- Tina: Mommy says no running in the house! [She takes a sip as Tim and Ted continue their chase in the kitchen]
- Tim: Hand over the bottle, mullet! [He grabs the bottle as Ted shrinks into his clothes] You can't hug money, you know! [He races off, taking another sip when... "WHAM!!!" ...He trips as Precious sticks out a leg through through the dog door. He falls to the floor, now, conveniently, a seven-year old]
- Ted: But you can, Tim, you can! [He grabs the formula again, fist bumping the pony before running away with Tim, slipping out of his too-large clothing, hot in pursuit.]
- Tina: Men, am I right? [Ted takes one last gulp as Tim body slams him out fo his clothes... Uncle Ted is now Boss Baby]
- Ted Jr.: It's not personal, it's business, Leslie! [Tim charges toward him]
- Tim: Well, it's personal to me, Lindsey! [He gives Boss Baby a Purple-Nurple, then Boss Baby screams "AHHH!". Boss Baby reaches out and gives Tim a double Purple-Nurple, then he screams "AHHHHH!!". They circle around each other, still twisting]
- Tim and Ted Jr.: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
- Tina: (to Story Bear) I'm sorry, Connie, I have to cut this short. Tomorrow we'll talk about your problems. [She marches over, covering her eyes] Okay, time-out, this has gone far enough! [Just then, Tabitha and Carol return home]
- Tabitha: Hey, we're home! And we've got another tree!
- Carol: A real one! [Tim and Boss Baby look at each other, panicked]
- Tina: (decisive) Um, upstairs now! Go, go, go, go, go, go... [Boss Baby grabs a lamp shade and Tim grabs an empty box to cover themselves as she dives into a laundry basket to change back into a onesie. They all ran upstairs as Carol struggles to pull the big end of a big tree through the door, with Tabitha holding up the pointy end]
- Carol: Nope, ok, to the right!
- Tabitha: How can I come to the heavy end?
- Carol: Because you're young and strong, honey. Little bit more. Come on! [Carol and Tabitha struggle to place the new tree in its stand as the boys race up the stairs]
- Ted Jr.: Me first!
- Carol: Tim? Ted?
- Tabitha: Mom? [She points to their old tree, which is right next to their new one]
- [Tim attempts to toss Boss Baby up to the attic door]
- Tim: Get the cord, get the cord, get the cord, get the cord, get the cord!
- Tina: You just can't disappear, you need a cover story.
- Boss Baby: Ow!
- Tim: Oh, right, my soft spot.
- Carol: Where are tou guys?
- Tina: Uh, uh, tell her you're packing.
- Tim: (calling out to Carol) We're upstairs! Uh... packing.
- Carol: Packing? For what?
- Tina: (gets idea) Ooh, you're going on a brother bonding trip!
- Tim: We're going on a brother bonding trip!
- Carol: Now? But, Tim, your parents are coming tomorrow.
- Tina: (whispering to Tim) They can help out!
- Tim: Yeah, they can help out. [That doesn't go over as well as Tim hoped]
- Carol: What... No, you can't leave me alone with your parents!? [She starts up the stairs. (Yikes!)]
- [As Carol starts to come up the stairs, Tina slides down the rail past Carol]
- Carol: Oh, Tina! [Distracted, she goes after her and catches her] What are you doing?! [She puts Tina in her playpen as Tabitha struggles with the tree in the background] All right, you know what, you're going to baby jail.
- Tabitha: Oh no, oh, no, oh no!
- Carol: Tabitha! Oh, honey, I'm sorry!
- Tabitha: A little help here!
- Carol: Hold it up, hold it up! [Tina pulls Ted's cellphone from her onesie and calls the helicopter pilot]
- Tina: (imitating Ted) This is Ted Templeton, a man. You can go ahead and take off, I have an urgent family business. [Carol: To the right, honey] Yes, I have a family.
- Carol: Tim, I'm coming up there. Yeah, we need to talk. [Tina leaps into her exersaucer and grabs a pair of scissors]
- Tabitha: Mom?
- Carol: Oh, Tina! Put that down, put that down, put that down, put that down!
- Tabitha: Tina!
- Carol: Put that down! [She grabs the scissors, and Tina races away] Put that down! Get back here! Tina, stop! [Tina begins pulling objects off a table. Tabitha runs over and catches them as they fall] What has gotten into you! [Tina gestures toward the door as she puts her back in the playpen]
- Tim: Time for us to go!
- Carol: What... Now!
- Ted Jr.: Yeah, my helicopter's double-parked.
- Tim: Bye! [He slams the front door behind him]
- Carol: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, so soon?
- Tabitha: Oh no! [Carol and Tabitha watch the helicopter fly away as Tim and Boss Baby run upstairs behind them]
- Carol: What... Did they really just leave?
- Tabitha: Yep.
- [Tina watches Boss Baby scurry away]
- Tina: Hide! [She collapses in her playpen] I gotta lose this baby fat. [Carol walks back inside]
- Carol: Tina, what is your problem?
- Tim: Go left! Go left! Go left!
- Ted Jr: I'm gonna go where navigation says.
- Navigation: Turn left.
- Ted Jr: Thank you, navigation.
