Doctor: Not to worry. You’re in good hands. My hands! I am the village doctor. I am also the village barber, veterinarian, dentist, and witchfinder. And in my professional opinion, you need a wash, a blowout, and a little trim around the hindquarters. That’s my professional barber opinion.

Puss in Boots: [after he’s buried his outfit and sword] We are gathered here today to say goodbye to Puss in Boots. There are no words to express such a loss. Thank you. But it would be a crime not to try. He was known across the land by many names. The Stabby Tabby. El Macho Gato. The Leche Whisperer. To some, an outlaw. To more, a hero. To all, a legend. I was right. Words were not enough. But perhaps a song.

Mama Luna: This is a person potty, Pickles! That’s your potty.
Puss in Boots: [as he goes over to the cat litter] So this is where dignity goes to die.

Perrito: You’re a talking cat? I’m a talking cat! Let’s talk.
Puss in Boots: I’d rather eat.
Perrito: Oh, not a problem. We can eat and talk at the same time.
Puss in Boots: No habla inglés.
Puss in Boots: [as Perrito starts to speak in Spanish] I don’t speak Spanish either.
Perrito: You’re funny.
Puss in Boots: Okay. Good talk.

Perrito: So, I’m no expert, but you don’t look like a “Pickles”.
Puss in Boots: Well, you don’t look like a cat.
Perrito: Okay. Okay. Okay. Full disclosure. I’m not a cat. I’m a dog.

Goldilocks: Too hard. That was not just right.

Baby Bear: [referring to Goldilocks] She’s not my sister! She’s a fugitive orphan!

Mama Bear: [referring to Perrito] Goldi, is this him?
Goldilocks: That’s a dog in a cat costume.

Perrito: If this Puss in Boots is such a big deal, maybe we shouldn’t be desecrating his grave.
Puss in Boots: [poses with his outfit] No, I don’t think he would mind. Because he is me!
Perrito: Oh. Okay.
Puss in Boots: Oh, yeah. Normally, I have a sword. It’s like a whole thing, you know?

Perrito: I brought you a sword.
Puss in Boots: That’s not a sword. That’s a stick.
Perrito: It’s a stick sword.

Baby Bear: I do not. I just want to pet him with my teeth.

Goldilocks: I’m more of a bear than you are.
Perrito: She got you.
Baby Bear: You’re nothing but a low-rent Cinderella.

Goldilocks: [to Baby Bear] You’re a daft, fat, slow-thinking, no-reading, Lyme-diseased, flea-ridden dingleberry bear.

Baby Bear: Oi! You shut up, you little mutt, or I’ll cut you from pooper to snooter!
Perrito: I’m in the mix now. Okay! Okay, here we go. You’re all a bunch of knuckle-dragging, honey-scrounging, grub [bleep], oafish [bleep], [bleep] munching, mangy [bleep] nugget, [bleep], and your snooter!
Papa Bear: I like the cut of his jib.

Perrito: This is great. Razzing, and ribbing, and barbing, and pooping, and snooting.

Wolf: I do love the smell of fear. It’s intoxicating.

Puss in Boots: You are no bounty hunter. You are…
Wolf: Death. And I don’t mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or in any other fancy way. I’m Death, straight up. And I’ve come for you, Puss in Boots.

Baby Bear: What’s your “just right”? What’s so blasted important that you’ve got us stranded in this haunted forest?
Goldilocks: I’m getting a family! That’s what. A proper family. Then everything will be just right.
Baby Bear: Your “just right” is getting rid of us?

Mama Bear: [to Goldilocks] I was always afraid it was too good to last. And whether you think we’re your family or not, if this is something that will make you happy, we’ll get you that wish.

Kitty Softpaws: You want to know what my wish was? Someone, anyone I could trust. In my whole life, I’ve never had that. But I thought I finally found that someone without a wish. I thought it was you. But you’re still running. Still the same old Puss in Boots.

Kitty Softpaws: [to Puss] Go on, get your lives back. Just keep them out of mine.

Perrito: [to Puss] You know, I’ve only ever had one life. But sharing it with you and Kitty has made it pretty special. Maybe one life is enough.

Wolf: What’s the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?
Puss in Boots: No. Just one. I’m done running. Fear me, if you dare.
Wolf: This is going to be fun.

Puss in Boots: [to Wolf] I know I can never defeat you, lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life.

Wolf: [to Puss] You’re ruining this for me. I came here for an arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal. But I don’t see him anymore.

Wolf: Live your life, Puss in Boots. Live it well. You know we will meet again, right?
Wolf: Sí. Hasta la muerte.

Kitty Softpaws: [to Puss] You know, when you said Death was after you, I thought you were just being melodramatic.

Puss in Boots: The wish is yours. You deserve someone you can trust.
Kitty Softpaws: I don’t need it. I’ve got what I wished for. No magic required.

Jack Horner: [as Perrito is trying to make cute eyes] Seriously, are you having a hernia or something?
Perrito: Pretty please.
Jack Horner: [as Perrito finally makes cute eyes] They’re such pools of vulnerability. It’s so cute how you think that would work on me. Don’t you know I’m dead inside? By the way, your nose is bleeding.

Puss in Boots: I hate to say it, but should we make a wish?
Kitty Softpaws: Kitty, one life spent with you is all that I could wish for.

Mama Bear: I’m sorry you didn’t get your wish, Goldi, love.
Goldilocks: But I did, Mama. I did get my wish. Everything is just right.

Puss in Boots: He doesn’t have a Jeff’s face.
Perrito: You know, if it’s the same to you, I think I’ll just stick with “Perrito”. I kind of like it, since that’s what my friends call me.

Puss in Boots: You know, to be honest, “Chomper” is pretty good.
Perrito: Yeah. But, no.
Puss in Boots: Well, we’ll keep workshopping it.

Puss in Boots: [referring to their dead or alive poster] Team Friendship? We did not agree to this.
Kitty Softpaws: Yeah, it makes us look ridiculous.
Perrito: Too late now. It’s official.

Perrito: Where are we headed, anyways?
Puss in Boots: Off to find new adventures, and to see some old friends.
[we then see them sailing towards Far Far Away]
