Puss
in Boots
Quotes:
Colorful and Cheerfully Chaotic
(Total Quotes: 69)
Puss in Boots quotes are clever, colorful and a cheerfully chaotic jumble that provide a worthy successor to the Shrek franchise. The story is about Puss in Boots before he met Shrek and Donkey and contains a mixture of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters. The jokes and the visuals gags are very witty and vibrant, never slowing down enough to concern itself with plotting or pacing. With the fabulous central voice talent of Antonio Banderas, Puss in Boots quotes are pretty hard to dislike and Puss' origin story could easily stand on its own.

next meal. Perhaps you gentlemen can let me find a
simple score.Moustache Man: The only thing you'll find tonight is trouble, Puss in Boots.
[he holds up Puss's bounty poster]

[he draws his sword]
Puss in Boots: Where to I find this Jack and Jill?
Jack: You know, Jill, I've been thinking.
Jill: Uuhh! Get it out.
Jack: I um...once we're done with this magic bean business and got ourselves all them beautiful golden eggs.
Jill: Mmhmm. Go on.
Jack: Why don't we cut down on some of the hijackin' and murderin'. I mean it's fun and all, but uh...I wanna a baby.

Humpty Dumpty: I know you're angry, you have every right. But it is good to see you, Puss.
[as he walks closer Puss pushes his sword in Humpty's face]
Humpty Dumpty: Are those new boots?
Puss in Boots: No! They are the same boots I wore when you betrayed me.
Humpty Dumpty: Be...betrayed you? You left me cracked in pieces on a bridge, surrounded by soldiers! They wrote a song about it!
Puss in Boots: And how did we get on that bridge in the first place?!
Humpty Dumpty: Because we were brothers and brothers are supposed to look after each other. Not...
[suddenly Kitty appears]
Kitty Softpaws: Humpty. Remember why we're here.
Puss in Boots: I should have known.

ife!Humpty Dumpty: Woh! Woh! Wait! Here me out, okay? Yes, yes! I sent Kitty to bring you here. But she is no ordinary thief.

[without Puss noticing Kitty steals his boots and holds them holds up]
Kitty Softpaws: That's a lot of heel for a guy, don't you think?
Humpty Dumpty: Look, with Kitty's skill, your sword and my brain we've got a fighting chance here. Puss, come on. You of all people know that nobody is ever ripped off the giant's castle and lived to tell the tale. You want to survive, you need a plan. And I've studied this job my whole life, you know that. Alright, let's...let's...let's be honest, without me you don't even know where to plant the beans, Puss. But Jack and Jill do, they're on their way. We go up the beanstalk outlaws and we come down legends. So what do you say? Partner?
[he holds out his hand]
Puss in Boots: No, never again.
[Puss walks off]
Humpty Dumpty: I'm sorry, okay? How long are you going to hold a grudge? It's been seven years! That's like thirty five cat years! You need me! And I...I need you, Puss.
[to Puss as he's walking through the cat tavern]
Humpty Dumpty: You got any idea what they do to eggs in San Ricardo prison?

Humpty Dumpty: I'll tell you this, my friend. It ain't over-easy!
[a cat appears behind Humpty]
Ohhh Cat: Ohhh!
Puss in Boots: Adieus, Humpty Dumpty.
Kitty Softpaws: Just think of all the trouble we can get into. The two of us together, we can steal a lot of golden eggs. Hmm?
[Puss suddenly sees she's wearing his hat and quickly grabs his hat back]
Kitty Softpaws: And you owe me.
Puss in Boots: I owe you?
Kitty Softpaws: Mmhmm. You hit me in the head with a guitar.
Puss in Boots: I regret the guitar.
Kitty Softpaws: Okay, I forgive you. So, you're in?
Puss in Boots: Well there is one teeny tiny iddy biddy problem.
Kitty Softpaws: And what is that?
Puss in Boots: You work for the egg!
Kitty Softpaws: Oh, come on, Puss! What happened between you and Humpty that was so bad?
Puss in Boots: I am afraid with me and Humpty the scars are too deep. It all started a long time ago.
Kitty Softpaws: Oh, no! No! No! No! You really don't have to tell me your whole life story, please!
Puss in Boots: You may want to sit.
[he forces Kitty to sit and turns to tell his story]
Puss in Boots: It is at times quite...painful.
Kitty Softpaws: Okay, here we go.
[we see flashback story of when Puss was a baby]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] It was the year in which the rain had not fallen. The wind was big and the basket was small. For days I bounced along. A hungry little kitten with no milk, no mama and no litter box. Until I came to rest at a home for lost children.
[we see him get picked up by a woman running the orphanage]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] Her name was Imelda and like a mother she took me into her heart and raised me as her own. She was an angel of kindness...most of the time.
[we see Humpty at the same orphanage steal Puss's beans from his plate]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] And uh...that was the moment I met...
[Humpty introduces himself to a baby Puss]
Humpty Dumpty: Humpty Alexander Dumpty.
[in his flashback story of how he met Humpty]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] Even though he took my beans, the egg stood up for me and I decided that I would always have his back. It was something about this strange little egg that uh...intrigued me.
[flashback of baby Puss following Humpty to his secret place where he sees Humpty planting and growing beans]
Humpty Dumpty: I've been collecting for months now, you never know when you're gonna get lucky. Know what I mean?
[Puss just stares at him blankly]
Humpty Dumpty: Magic beans. It's what they are.
[Puss continues to stare at him blankly]
Humpty Dumpty: Hello? You going to tell all the other kids that I believe in magic now? Is that what you're gonna do?
[Puss shakes his head]
Humpty Dumpty: No? What's your name?
[Puss does a baby meow]
Humpty Dumpty: Well you don't say much, do you? Well I think I'll call you Sparky.
[Puss shakes his head]
Humpty Dumpty: Whiskers?
[Puss shakes his head]
Humpty Dumpty: Zoltar!
[Puss pauses for a moment before shaking his head]
Humpty Dumpty: How about Puss?
[Puss smiles and nods his head]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] Humpty's mind was full of imagination and invention. He spoke of legends and adventures beyond my wildest dreams
we see Humpty and baby Puss lying on the grass looking up at the sky
Humpty Dumpty: Oh, when I find those magic beans, they'll grow a vine straight up into the clouds where a terrible and a fearsome giant hoards his greatest treasure, the golden goose. Oh, the golden goose. Just one...just one of her golden eggs could set me for life. It's my destiny, Puss. I can't really explain it, but I just feel like I belong up there.
[he sighs and Puss sighs along with him, Humpty turns to Puss]
Humpty Dumpty: Well, this is awkward. This is kind of uh...a solo dream here. I don't really need a dead weight, you know? Hold me down.
[Puss turns to face Humpty making big cute eyes at him]
Humpty Dumpty: What are you doin'? Oh man, that's good. The...the...the eye thing that you're doin', that is really splendid.Okay, let me just think for a second, alright? Okay, uh...this is crazy but I am considering a partnership. I just need to know one thing. Can you commit?
Puss in Boots: Si, I can commit.
Humpty Dumpty: Oh, you can talk! Could you help me up?
[flashback shows Humpty and Puss forming their secret magic bean club]
Humpty Dumpty: First rule of bean club, you do not talk about bean club. Second rule of bean club, you don't talk about bean club.
Humpty Dumpty: You ready?
Ready.
[Humpty pricks his finger with the needle]
Humpty Dumpty: From this day forth, it shall be known.
[Puss takes the needs from Humpty and pricks his finger]
Never alone, always together.
Humpty Dumpty: Humpty and Puss...
[they shake the hands they've just pricked with the needle]
Humpty and Puss: Brothers forever.
Puss in Boots: [voice over] And from that moment on we were united on a great adventure to find the magic beans.Humpty was the brains and I was the skill.
Humpty Dumpty: Well, we got red beans, we got green beans, coffee beans, lima beans but no magic beans.
Would you care for a jelly bean?
Humpty Dumpty: Oh, thank you.
[referring to the magic means]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] Finding them meant everything to us. But we never did find them. And as the years passed, the quest for magic beans seemed more and more like a dreams of a child.
Puss in Boots: [voice over] As teenagers, Humpty and I looked for trouble and often found it.

[Imelda holds up his now famous boots]
Imelda: These are for you, my boy. Wear them as a symbol of honor and justice.
Puss in Boots: I will make you proud, mama.
Imelda: You already have. My Puss in Boots.
[Imelda places his now famous hat on Puss' head]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] How strange it was to be a cat in boots, but woh, I look good! And as the light of my path grew brighter, Humpty's road grew ever darker.
[flashback of when Puss bails Humpty out of jail]
Humpty Dumpty: I know. I know. I never should have tried something without you.
Puss in Boots: You're not stealing lollipops anymore, Humpty. This is getting serious.
Humpty Dumpty: You're right. We have to be smarter about this. Here, look. We need to think bigger. I've been casing the silver smith and it's perfect.
[he holds up his plan for stealing]
Humpty Dumpty: You and me, in and out, fifty seconds tops!
Puss in Boots: Will you put that away! This is our home, these people have done nothing to us.
Humpty Dumpty: Our home? Okay, yeah. I get it now. You get some fancy boots and now you're too good for me?
Puss in Boots: That is not true.
Humpty Dumpty: We weren't born here. We're orphans and all we got is each other. You understand?
Puss in Boots: We are better than this.
Humpty Dumpty: But we're partners.
Puss in Boots: We are brothers. But I am not stealing anymore.
Puss in Boots: [voice over] But Humpty would not give up so easily.

Puss in Boots: Comandate, please! I can explain.
[to his guards]
Comandate: Arrest them!
[Humpty and Pussy make a getaway in the wagon with the guards chasing them]
Humpty Dumpty: Hurry up! Get to a bridge!
Puss in Boots: You tricked me!
Humpty Dumpty: I had too! You left me no choice!
[as the guards are chasing them their wagon tips over the bridge with all the gold thrown into the water and Humpty has fallen to the ground]
Humpty Dumpty: Puss, I can't get up. Puss, help me I can't get up!
[the guards are charing towards them getting closer]
Humpty Dumpty: Puss, save me!
Puss in Boots: Save yourself.
[the guards grab Humpty and as they come to grab Puss he throws himself over the bridge]
Puss in Boots: [voice over] I lost everything I cared about that day. My brother, my honor, my home. All I thought about was the disappointment in my mama's eyes. And I have been running ever since.
[back to the present as he's finishing telling his story to Kitty]
Puss in Boots: The egg betrayed me. His lies cost me everything.
[Kitty is asleep snoring loudly]
Puss in Boots: Hey!
Kitty Softpaws: I'm awake!
Humpty Dumpty: Listen, a day...a day doesn't go by when I don't think about what I lost. I lost my best friend, my only friend. And I get it now, I got greedy and desperate and I let you down, I let myself down. All I'm asking for, Puss, is a second chance. Give me that second chance and I'll help repay you back San Ricardo. Please, Puss. Let me show you what our friendship mean to me.
Puss in Boots: I will do it.
Humpty Dumpty: Oh, that's great.
Puss in Boots: I will do this for my mother and for San Ricardo, not for you. We are not partners and we're not friends.
Humpty Dumpty: Okay and I...I promise this time I will not let you down. Yes! I think we got our bean club back!
Puss in Boots: This plan better work.
Kitty Softpaws: Listen, you just need to worry about your part. Don't screw it up. What?
Puss in Boots: Again with the mask?
Kitty Softpaws: I don't need style advice from Mr. Dusty Boots.
