CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of Study

Language is one of the main things in communication. Language as

communication tools has an important role for human beings because human

language can express what you have in mind or the idea. As a means of

communication, a language is used as a means of delivering a message from a

person to another person, or from the speakers to the hearers, and the

submission of self-expression. Human is a social creature that has a

relationship and performs interaction with each other. This research used

theories of pragmatics because pragmatics is the branch of science that

studies the structure of the language is the language of externally how

linguistic units were used in communications (Wijaya dan Rohmadi, 2009:4).

Pragmatics is the study of meanings conveyed by speakers (or authors)

and interpreted by the hearer (or reader). One can speak the word about the

intended meaning of the person, the assumptions, the purpose, and the types

of actions shown while speaking. For example, two friends who are having a

conversation may imply some things about what is being delivered. As a

result, this study deals more with analyzes of what people mean by their

speech than with the separate meaning of the word or phrase used in the

speech itself. In other words, pragmatics is the study of the intent of speakers

(Yule, 2006: 3-5). Based on some of the above explanation, it can be

concluded that pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that studies the use of

human language in the form of communication. The pragmatic study is the

2

meaning of lingual units externally bound by context and form to understand

the meaning of the speaker.

The language used by humans can be associated with speakers and hearer

that can be the formation of a speech act. The theory of speech acts proposed

firstly by the philosopher of the United Kingdom, John L. Austin in 1955 at

Harvard University. Austin mentions as someone says something, he is also

doing something. It means someone not only saying but also performs acts

such as promise, apologize, name and pronounce (Nadar, 2009:11). In 1969,

J. R. Searle redeveloped Austin’s theory. According to Searle (in Pramunianti

and Eviyanti, 2012: 2) speech acts is the product or result of a sentence under

certain conditions and is the smallest unit of linguistic communication that

can be any statement, question, command or any other. Searle in the next

development made five classification of speech acts are assertive

(representative), directive, commisive, expressive, and declarative.

In this research, the writer will focus only on assertive act in the dialogue

The Boss Baby movie. Assertive acts is speech forms which binds speakers to

the truth propositions expressed for example stated, reported, suggested,

boasting, complaining, and claiming. Assertive acts only explain something

that is expressed is what it is. Study the following assertive:

(1) Daddy : Bottle!

Tim Templeton : Dad! I can’t sleep.

Daddy : I know, bud. Me neither.Boss Baby needs a lot of

attention right now. Okay, good talk!

Tim Templeton : But...

Daddy : It’s okay. Daddy’s here. Daddy’s here.

Tim Templeton : What about me?

3

The conversation (1) involves Daddy and Tim Templeton. Daddy is

taking care of Boss Baby at midnight. While Tim Templeton is trying to sleep

but he can’t sleep because of Daddy’s noisy voice. Tim Templeton

complained to Daddy about this saying “Dad! I can’t sleep”. Then Daddy

confirmed that he understood that Tim Templeton could not sleep, and he was

in the same condition but Boss Baby was in need of attention from Daddy.

This dialogue indicates assertive acts of affirming this is confirmed by Daddy

saying “I know, bud. Me neither. Boss Baby needs a lot of attention right

now. Okay, good talk!”.

Related to this research, there are some researcher that have been done

before, the first entitled Illocutionary Acts of the Oats Utterances in English

Translation of the Noble Qur’an in Asy-Syams Verses was written by Sri

Wahyuningsih in 2013. Second research entitled Directive Illocutionary Act

in the Miracle Worker Movie was written by Dian Septiani in 2017. Third

research entitled Illocutionary Acts Analysis of Chinese in Pamatangsiantar

was written by Herman, M.Pd in 2015. Last, An Analysis Commissive and

Assertive Speech Act in Donald Trump’s First State of the Union Address on

January 30, 2018 was written by Ray Sita in 2018. The differences between

this research and these previous researches are this research used transcript of

The Boss Baby movie that used unit of analysis and this research only focus

on illocutionary acts of assertive acts by Searle theory.

The writer chooses The Boss Baby movie as an object of study because

this movie has various types of assertive acts. Furthermore, the writer wants

to analyzed this movie which was a series of an animation, a comedy, and a

4

family theme that lifted love and affection is an infinite power who directed

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Previous Research

Related to this research, there are some researchers that have been done

before. The first research entitled Illocutionary Acts of the Oats Utterance in

English Translation of the Noble Qur’an in Asy-Syams Verses was written by

Sri Wahyuningsih in 2013. The research used descriptive qualitative method

and the data is collect by documentation. In analyzing data, this research

analyzing the oath utterances based on the criteria proposed by al-Maragi.

Then analyze the illocutionary acts types based on Searle’s theory. And also

analyze illocutionary acts data into direct or indirect illocutionary proposed by

Yule. The result of this research are three, first, the objects of oath utterances

are mostly concrete noun. Second, illocutionary act types found in this

research mostly assertive or representative. Third, utterances in the surah Asy-

Syams mostly used direct illocutionary acts where has structure as a statement

and the function were to inform the reader or hearer.

The second research entitled Directive Illocutionary Acts in The Miracle

Worker Movie was written by Dian Septiani in 2017. The research used

qualitative method and bibliography to collect the data. In analysis data, this

research analyzing types directive illocutionary acts which occurred directly

and indirectly in The Miracle Worker movie used Searle’s theory. The result

of this research is showed seventeen types of directive illocutionary acts that

found in script The Miracle Worker movie. Two of seventeen data conveyed

directly and the rest data were conveyed indirectly.

8

The third research entitled Illocutionary Acts Analysis of Chinese in

Pamatangsiantar was written by Herman, M.Pd in 2015. The research used

descriptive qualitative method. In analysis data, this research analyzing types

of illocutionary acts to analyze the utterances of Chinese who live in Hos

Cokroaminoto, Pematangsiantar is using Austin and Searle theory. The result

of this research there are four types of illocutionary acts occurred in the

utterances of Chinese who live in Hos Cokroaminoto, Pematangsiantar. The

types of illocutionary acts occurred in the utterances of Chinese who live in

Hos Cokroaminoto, Pematangsiantar are Representative (typical of structure

expressions of asking), Directive (typical of structure expressions of ordering

and inviting), Expressive (typical of structure expressions of greeting and

compliment), and Commissive (typical of structure expressions of

threatening).

The last research entitled An Analysis Commissive and Assertive Speech

Acts in Donald Trump’s First State of the Union Address on January 30, 2018

was written by Ray Sita in 2018. The research used qualitative method. In

analysis data, this research analyzing the function and explain how the

the union address script using Searle and Vandervaken’s theory. The result of

this research there are show the function the commissive and assertive are

classified into commit, promise, pledge, offer, assert, state, remind, and report

in which they uttered both directly and indirectly.

B. Pragmatics

According to Parker (1986) (in Nadar, 2009: 4) pragmatic is a study of

how language is used to communicate and asserts that pragmatic does not

examine the structure of language internally such as grammar, but externally.

Similarly, according to Levinson (1983) (in Megawati, 2016: 160-161)

pragmatic is the study of those relations between language and context that the

sentence has a connection to grammar. In other words, the speaker’s intention

is delivered by using the code in the structure of language. It is the study of

the relations between language and context that the hearer does not only know

the meaning and the grammar of the words uttered but also is able to make an

inference. Pragmatic is a branch of science that examines how hearer makes

inferences in order to interpret the intent of the speaker.

In contrast, according to Katz (1977) (in Nadar, 2009:5) pragmatic is a

theory does not explain the structure of language construction or grammatical

forms and relations. Pragmatic theory examines the reasons for speakers and

hearer who make the correlation of sentences with propositions. Pragmatics

can be said to be part of the action. Based on these opinions, it can be

concluded that pragmatics is a science that examines the meaning of speech in

the event of a speech act. Therefore, it cannot be separated from its context or

context-bound language science.

C. The Context of Utterance

According to Dey (in Zimmermann, Andreas Lorenz, and Reinhard

Oppermann, 2007:559) context is any information that can be used to

characterize the situation of an object. Elements for the description of this

10

context information fall into five categories: individuality, activity, location,

time, and relations. The activity predominantly determines the relevancy of

context elements in specific situations, and the location and time primarily

drive the creation of relations between entities and enable the exchange of

context information among entities.

According to Sperber & Wilson (in Illes, 2001:100), a context is a

psychological construct, a subset of the hearer’s assumptions about the world.

It is these assumptions, of course, rather than the actual state of the world, that

affect the interpretation of the utterance. A context in this sense is not limited

to information about the immediate physical environment or the immediately

preceding utterances: expectations about the future, scientific hypotheses or

religious beliefs, anecdotal memories, general cultural assumptions, beliefs

about the mental state of the speaker, may all play a role in interpretation.

D. Speech Acts

For the first time, speech acts term from Austin who lectured in Harvard

University in (1955) then he published his book (1962) entitled “How to Do

Things with Word”. According to Austin (in Basyah, Pulungan and Dirgeyasa,

2018: 164):

Many utterances (things people say) are equivalent to actions. As

a speaker produces an utterance, she or he is also performing a

certain kind of acts such as giving order, asking question, making

request, making a promise, etc. These kinds of acts are called

speech acts. In other words, speech acts are actions performed

through words.

Later, the theory was developed by Searle in 1969. According to Searle

(in Pramunianti and Eviyanti, 2012: 2) speech acts is the product or result of a

11

sentence under certain conditions and is the smallest unit of linguistic

communication that can be any statement, question, command or any other.

According to Chaer (2010: 50) and Suwito (in Rohmadi, 2010: 32)

speech act is more likely to be categorized as a psychological individual

phenomenon and its sustainability is determined by the speaker’s language

ability in dealing with certain situations. More can be said in speech acts, the

meaning or meaning of action in a speech is noticed rather than the purpose

of the event.

Besides, according to Mulyana (in Banondari, 2015:10) speech acts is a

function of language as a means followers. All sentences or utterances uttered

by speakers actually contain certain communication functions. Speech from

someone (speakers) is of course not merely the origin of speech, but it

contains certain intentions. From some previous opinions, it can be concluded

that speech acts are the speech of a speaker on a particular situation in social

interaction. Moreover, the speech act is an action that is displayed by

producing an interconnected speech. Austin formulates three types of speech

acts (in Banondari, 2015:10), the following are three types of speech acts

proposed by Austin:

1. Locutionary Acts

A locutionary act is speech acts to express something. This speech act

of localization is referred to as The Act of Saying Something (Wijana,

2009: 20). The speech act of locutionary is an act of speech that can be in

the form of words, phrases, or sentences according to the meaning

contained in words, phrases, or sentences themselves.It can be concluded

12

that locutionary speech acts are the meanings contained in the contents of

a speech. The example of locutionary acts as below:

(2) Mommy : Rise and shine!

Tim Templeton : Is something wrong? Am I fired?

Daddy : No, you’re late for work.

Tim Templeton : What?

Daddy : It’s Take Your Kid to Work Day! And

you’re the kid. Mommy : You’re officially un-grounded.

Tim Templeton : Really?

Daddy : Really.

The example (2) is a dialogue of conversation between Tim

Templeton and his parents. Daddy as third speaker said “It’s Take Your

Kid to Work Day! And you’re the kid” is a statement saying that today all

employees are allowed to bring their children to work and that child is Tim

Templeton. Searle (in Chaer, 2010: 53) mentions the speech act of this

locutionary with the term act prepositional language (prepositional act)

because this speech act is related to meaning.

2. Illocutionary Acts

An illocutionary speech acts is speech acts which in addition function

to say something and can also be used to do something. This illocutionary

speech act is referred to as The Act of Doing Something (Wijana, 2009:

22). An illocutionary act is the pressure or strength of the will of others

revealed by verbs: telling, forcing, and dictating to and so on. According

to Tarigan (in Bandondari, 2015:12) J. R. Searle make classification of an

illocutionary into speaking activities into five types of speech forms, each

of which has its own communicative function. The five types of speech

forms are assertive (representative), directive, declaration, commissive,

and expressive. The example of illocutionary acts as bellow:

13

(3) Daddy : Hey, Tim. How would you like to

have a baby brother? Tim Templeton : No, thanks. I’m enough.

The example (3) is a conversation between Daddy and Tim

Templeton. Daddy offers to Tim Templeton a younger brother. Tim

Templeton answered his daddy that himself is enough. Daddy show the

offering by saying “How would you like to have a baby brother?” this is

categorized an illocutionary acts commissive, offering.

3. Perlocutionary Acts

A Perlocutionary speech act is speech acts expressed by someone and

often have a power of influence or an effect for those who listen to it. The

effect or power of this influence can be intentionally or unintentionally

created by the speaker. This speech act is also called The Act of Affecting

Someone (Wijana, 2009: 23).According to Nadar (2009:15) perlocutionary

acts is actions to influence speech opponents such as embarrassing,

intimidating, persuading, etc. Based on the explanation above,

perlocutionary acts is the effect or power of influence arising from what is

speakers said to the hearer. The example of perlocutionary acts as bellow:

(4) Tim Templeton:Three stories, five hugs, and my special song,

right?

Daddy : You got it!

Mommy : Blackbird singing in the dead of night (sing)

Parents : Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your

life. You were only waiting. For this moment to

arise (sing)

The example (4) conversation between Tim Templeton and his

parents. Tim Templeton as first speakers said “Three stories, five hugs,

and my special song” that is utterances to ask for something. Tim

Templeton’s parents granted all his requests. Levinson (in Rusminto,

14

2010: 23) states that the perlocutionary acts is more concerned with

results, because this action is said to be successful if the speech partner

does something desired by the speaker.

E. Types of Illocutionary Acts

According to Mulyana (in Bandondari, 2015:13), illocutionary acts

means the act of the contents stated something. The type of communication is

interpersonal, while the contents contain action. An illocutionary act is viewed

as the force accepted with words or sentences. This is realized, according to

Austin (1962) as the effective realization of the speaker’s intention, which for

Searle (1969) is a product of the hearer interpretation. This is an example of

illocutionary acts as follows:

(5) Tim Templeton : You should have seen your face in that

picture. You were all...

Boss Baby : I’m not used to being tickled. Once at a

corporate retreat.

But those things always get weird.

Tim Templeton : What? You've never been tickled? What

about your parents? I’m sorry. I forgot.

You didn’t have parents, did you?

Boss Baby : Tim, I may look like a baby... but I was

born all grown up.

The example (5) is conversation between Tim Templeton and Boss Baby.

Tim Templeton didn’t intentionally offend the Boss Baby’s parents, then, he

apologized for Boss Baby has no parents. Tim Templeton as first speaker shows

the apologizing by saying “I’m sorry. I forgot”. So, Tim Templeton statement

proof that the sentence classified as apologizing. Apologizing is an indicator of an

expressive of illocutionary acts.

According to Tarigan (in Bandondari, 2015:12), J. R. Searle in the next

development made a popular classification of an illocutionary act as follow:

15

a. Assertive (Refresentatives)

The speaker is committed, in varying degrees, to the truth or false of a

proposition, e.g. stating, informing, affirming, boasting, complaining,

denying and others. Here is the example: “No one makes a better cake

than me”.

b. Directive

The speaker tries to get the hearer to do something, e.g. advising, asking,

begging, challenging, commanding, recommanding, requesting and

suggesting. Here is the example: “Could you close the window?”.

c. Commissive

The speakers committed, in varying degrees, to result in an obligation to

speaker. That is they commit the speaker to do something e.g. guaranteeing,

offering, promising, swearing, threatening and vowing. The following is

the example of commissive utterance: “I'm going to Paris tomorrow”.

d. Expressive

The speaker expresses an attitude and feelings about a state of affairs, e.g.

apologizing, blaming, congratulation, pardoning, praising, thanking and

welcoming. Here is the sample sentence of expressive: “I am sorry that I

lied to you”.

e. Declarative

The speaker changes the external status or condition of an object or

situation solely by making the utterance, e.g. appointing, arresting,

dismissing, naming, resigning and sentencing. The example of this

illocutionary act of utterance: “You are fired, I swear, I beg you”.

F. Assertive Illocutionary Acts

Assertive is one type of speech act that serves to establish or explain

something as it is. Searle divides two assertive, namely statements and

explanations. A statement is a speech that contains information. An

explanation is an informational utterance, an explanation-giving speech

(Brata, 2013: 18-19).Assertive speech acts are forms of speech acts that bind

speakers of truth spoken. According to Searle (1979) (in Ilham at al,

2018:548) the categories which included in the assertive speech are stating,

informing, affirming, boasting, complaining, denying and etc.

1. Stating

Stating is connected to the notion of setting something forth or

representing something normally for the benefit or edification of the hearer.

Stating is to give information or inform something to someone. Example:

The earth is flat

2. Informing

Informing’s speech is used by speaker to assert to a hearer with the

additional preparatory condition that the hearer does not already know what

he is being informed of. Example: The Syntax exam will be held on Monday

3. Affirming

It is assertive which have the same illocutionary point, mode of

achievement, degree of strength, proportional content conditions,

preparatory conditions, and sincerity conditions as “assert”. Affirming in

this case, carrying the positive assertion as opposed to negative assertion.

Example: He wrote a letter to her sister in Aussie that he’s affirming her

lies

17

4. Boasting

Boasting is used by speaker to express pride. Illocutionary acts like

this are not included in neutral categories in terms of politeness and are

considered rude that are semantic, assertive are propositional. Example:

He is a richest man in the world

5. Complaining

Complaining has both an assertive and an expressive use.

Complaining is used by speaker to complain something difficult. Example:

I can’t sleep

6. Denying

Denying creates the action of denial and opposed or negates the

proportion. Example: I didn't do it

G. Direct Indirect Speech Act

Speech acts can also be direct and indirect. According to Djajasudarma

(2012: 55) stated that speech acts can be classified into direct speech acts and

indirect acts. According to Wijana(1996) (in Lailiyah, 2015: 8) direct speech

acts is a speech act in accordance with the sentence mode or in other words

having a direct relation between a structure and a function. Direct speech acts is

speech that are in accordance with the sentence form. For example news

sentences to preach, order sentences to order, and sentences to ask something.

The following example show to direct speech acts with the function:

a. A declarative to make a statement, “I turn on the light”.

b. An interrogative to make a question, “Do you turn on the light?”

c. An imperative to make a command or request, “Turn on the light!”

Afterwards, indirect speech acts are speech acts that are different from

the sentence form so indirect speech acts can vary and depend on the context.

18

According to Searle (1975) (in Nadar, 2009: 19) indirect speech acts have a

very important position in the study of speech acts because most speeches are

delivered indirectly. Utterances that are expressed indirectly usually cannot be

answered directly, but the purpose must be immediately implied in them.

Example: Where is my book?

H. The Boss Baby Movie

According to Klarer (in Setiami and Utami, 2018: 226-227), the movie is

often categorized as performing arts that use actor as their primary expression

tool, and the movie similar elements with drama, such as plot, character, point

of view and setting. Movie can be classified as one of media communications,

as it gives a meaningful message to the audience. As a part of entertaining

media most people in this world watch movie especially when they get bored

or have free time. Movie not only entertained the audience but also give

specific information. Through movie we can learn while watching, we can

also improve our vocabulary, get moral values, educational values and so on

especially for non-native language speaker who trying to studied the language

used in the movie (Kiuk and Ghozali, 2018: 60).

The movie tells the story of a seven-year-old boy named Timothy

Templeton who lives his days having fun with his parents, Ted and Janice, and

wishes it to be just the three of them forever. One day, Tim is surprised when

a business suit-wearing infant shows up in a taxi at his house, and Ted and

Janice proudly call him Tim’s little brother. Tim is envious of the attention the

baby is receiving, not to mention suspicious when the infant acts oddly around

him, but his parents, being blind to the baby’s eccentric behavior, try to

19

convince him that they will grow to love each other. Soon, Tim learns that the

baby can talk like an adult and he introduces himself as “The Boss”. Seeing an

opportunity to be rid of him, Tim decides to record a conversation between

him and other toddlers who are over at Tim’s house for a meeting to do

something about how puppies are receiving more love than babies.

The Boss Baby explains to Tim that he was sent on a mission to see why

puppies are getting more love than infants. He has infiltrated Tim’s residence

because his parents work for Puppy Co., which is unleashing a new puppy on

the day that employees take their children to work. The Boss Baby also

explains that he stays intelligent by drinking a “Secret Baby Formula” which

enables a baby to act like an adult. However, if a baby does not drink it after a

period of time, he or she reverts to a regular baby. He hopes to receive a

promotion after dealing with Puppy Co.’s new puppy, but when they overhear

Boss Baby’s boss threatens to fire him for not bringing in information, thereby

stranding him at the Templeton, he and Tim agree to work together to keep

that from happening.

Back to the present, Tim who finished the story is now an adult and now

the father of an older daughter (which he told the story to her) and an infant

daughter who was just born and acts exactly like Theodore did when he was

Boss Baby (which indicates that Tim’s older daughter is seeing this in her

imagination).

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A. Conclusions

Based on research finding the purpose of this research is to know the types

of assertive acts with occurred directly and indirectly in the dialogue The

Baby Boss Movie through its transcript. The writer makes conclusion clearly

from the analysis of assertive acts as follows:

First, the writer found 6 types of assertive acts from 15 corpus data namely

stating (3), complaining (2), boasting (2), affirming (3), denying (1), and

informing (4). In this study, the assertive act that is often used is informing. It

can be seen from the dialogues. Moreover, the writer classified the assertive

acts based on John R. Searle theory.

Second, the writer found 3 data that are conveyed indirectly and 12 data

which are conveyed directly. Direct speech acts can be divided into three

functions, namely the imperative with the intention of saying it to ask,

declarative with the intention of expressing it to declare, interrogative with

the intention of its utterance to govern. Whereas the indirect speech action has

2 functions, namely imperative sentence with the intention to govern and

declarative with the intention of governing.

B. Suggestions

The writer suggest the next researcher who are interested in the same field

to more deeply about speech acts theory, especially illocutionary acts by

using another theory. The next researcher could make a comparison the

theories of speech acts by using John L. Austin’s theory or John R. Searle and

39

Vandervaken’s theory, and next researcher could continue using John R.

Searle theory by choosing another function of assertive illocutionary acts. In

addition next researcher to develop and find another object to be analyzed

such as text in novel, magazine, article, comic, etc.

APPENDIX

The Boss Baby

Written by Michael McCullers

Survival of the fittest. It’s the law of the jungle. There’s always someone trying to take

what’s yours. How do I know? It almost happened to me.

Mommy : Tim Templeton...quit monkeying around. Hot dogs are getting

cold.

Tim Templeton : Hot dogs?

At least, this is how I remember it.

Daddy : All right, buddy, let’s 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.

Daddy : Tim!

Mommy : Our hero!

Tim Templeton : Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I got this! Grab on!

Some days, I rescued my parents.

Tim Templeton : That way!

Other days, they rescued me.

Tim Templeton : I’m losing control.

Mommy : Tim, look out!

Tim Templeton : Tree!

Daddy : You’re breaking up!

Mommy : Slow down, Tim!

Daddy : Turn, Tim.

Mommy : Turn! Are you hurt?

Tim Templeton : I’m okay.

Mommy : 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.

Daddy : Yes, Mr. Francis?

Mr. Francis : Puppy Co needs you.

Daddy : It’s go 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.

43

Tim Templeton : Three stories, five hugs, and my special song, right?

Daddy : You got it!

Mommy : Blackbird singing in the dead of night (sing)

Parents : Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life. You were

only waiting. For this moment to arise (sing)

Daddy : Hey, Tim. How would you like to have a baby brother?

Tim Templeton : No, thanks. I'm 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.

Wizzie : Wake up, little halflings! It’s 7:00 a.m. Wake up, little halflings!

Tim Templeton : Morning, Wizziee!

Wizzie : What great adventure lies in wait for you today?

Tim Templeton : Oh, yeah!

My parents always said that I had an overactive imagination. But I clearly remember...

Boss Baby was delivered in a taxi.

Tim Templeton : What the...Hey!

Mommy : Tim, look who’s here.

Daddy : Meet your new baby brother.

Tim Templeton : Baby what?

Daddy : Brother.

I had a million questions. Who is this guy? Why is he here? What's with that outfit?

Why's he so fat? Why’s he staring at me? Does he know karate? What’s going on?

Mommy : That way?

Parents : Okay.

Right from the start, he was yelling at people... ordering everyone around.

Mommy : Oh, you want this?

One thing was clear. He was the boss. He set up his office, right smack dab in the middle

of the house. He conducted meetings.

Mommy : You called?

Daddy : Do you need Seor Squeaky?

Lots and lots of meetings. Even in the middle of the night.

Tim Templeton : I’m up! I'm up!

Daddy : We’re coming!

Mommy : We'll be right there!

If things weren’t done to his immediate satisfaction... he had a fit.

Daddy : Where’s the bottle?

44

Mommy : He has to have his bottle!

He had everyone wrapped around his chubby little finger. Everyone except for me.

Mommy : Diaper!

Daddy : Bottle!


Daddy : I know, bud. Me neither. Boss Baby needs a lot of attention right

now. Okay, good talk!

Tim Templeton : But...

Daddy : It’s okay. Daddy’s here. Daddy’s here.

Tim Templeton : What about me?

The year: 2057. Ensign T-Rex and I are investigating a hostile alien baby. So much worse

than we thought.

Tim Templeton : Mom, he’s naked! I’m naked!

Daddy : Say “naked”.

Tim Templeton : No!

Mommy : Who’s Mommy’s little cutie? Are you Mommy’s little cutie?

Daddy : No, he’s Daddy’s little tough guy, right?

You know one of us has to go with Mr. Francis to the pet convention.

Mommy : In Vegas. You know what? You should go.

Daddy : No, no. You should go.

Mommy : Well, you need a break.

Daddy : I’ll stay with Boss Baby, and you...

Mommy : Maybe Boss Baby should decide. Who do you want to stay with

you? Daddy or Mommy?

Daddy : Or Daddy?

Mommy : He wants his mommy.

Tim Templeton : Okay, we need to talk! In private.

Mommy : Sure.

Daddy : About what, bud?

Tim Templeton : About the b-a-b-e-e.

Mommy : Why Tim?

Tim Templeton : Why? Because he came out of now here! We don’t even know him.

How can we trust him?

Daddy : Come on, he's just a baby.

Tim Templeton : Seriously? I’m the only one that thinks there’s something weird

about this guy?

Mommy : Oopsie! I got it.

Daddy : Five-second rule.

Mommy : Tim?



Tim Templeton : He carries a briefcase. Does no else think that’s...I don’t know, a

little freaky?

Daddy : Well, you carried Lam-Lam around until you were like...

Tim Templeton : This is not about Lam-Lam.

Mommy : All babies are different, Tim.

Daddy : And each one is special.

45

Tim Templeton : He’s taking over the whole house!

Mommy : Are you taking over the house? Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Daddy : Trust me, one day you’re gonna get to know this little guy...and

you are gonna love him with all of your heart. Just like we do.

Tim Templeton : All of your heart? Never.

Tim Templeton : Hello! It’s time for my three stories, five hugs, and special song!

How about one story...three hugs, and my special song? Just my

special song? Mom? Dad? Hey. What happened to bedtime?

Daddy : We’ll have it on Monday, Mr. Francis.

Mommy : Don’t cry! Don’t cry.

Tim Templeton : Hello?

Boss Baby : Hello? No, ma’am, not yet. No, I’m not making excuses. Yes,

ma’am, I know I’ve been here a long time. Believe me, it feels like

my whole life. I’m making great progress with the parents already.

The usual procedure, sleep deprivation, hunger strikes. They’re

very disoriented. I’ve got them eating out of the palm of my hand.

They do everything for me. It’s hilarious. But I think the kid might

be on to me. No, I can handle him. I know how important this

mission is to the company.

Tim Templeton : Mission?

Boss Baby : Well, trust me, ma’am. You got the right baby for this job.

Tim Templeton : Hands up, devil baby!

Boss Baby : Fart! Poop! Doodie! I’ve gotta deal with the k-i-d.

Tim Templeton : You can talk!

Boss Baby : Uh, goo-goo Ga-ga.

Tim Templeton : No, you can really talk. I heard you!

Boss Baby : Fine. I can talk. Now, let’s see if you can listen. Get me a double

espresso...and see if there’s someplace around herewith decent

sushi. I’d kill for a spicy tuna roll right about now. Get yourself a

little something.


Boss Baby : Let’s just say I’m the boss.

Tim Templeton : The boss? You're a baby! You wear a diaper.

Boss Baby : You know who else wears diapers? Astronauts and NASCAR

drivers, that’s who? It’s called efficiency, Templeton. The average

toddler spends, what?5 hours a year on the potty? I’m the boss. I

don’t have that kind of spare time.


Boss Baby : I am the boss of you.

Tim Templeton : No, you’re not.


Tim Templeton : Are not.

Boss Baby : Am, too!

Tim Templeton : Are not!





Boss Baby : Am, too. Am, too.

Tim Templeton : I was here first. Just wait until Mom and Dad find out about this.

Boss Baby : Oh, yeah? You think they’d pick you over me?With your track

record?

Tim Templeton : You don’t know anything about me.

46

Boss Baby : So that's how you wanna play it, huh? Let’s see. Templeton,

Timothy. Middle name....I’m sorry. Leslie! Mostly C’s...

Tim Templeton : How do you know all that?

Boss Baby : Can’t ride a bike without training wheels? Even bears can ride a

bike without training wheels, Leslie. DOB says you're seven.

Tim Templeton : Seven and a half.

Boss Baby : Power nap! You were saying?

Tim Templeton : I’m seven and a half.

Boss Baby : Exactly! You’re old. It’s time to make way for the next generation.

It’s the way of the world. You would never ask your parents for an

old toy.

Tim Templeton : Lam-Lam?

Boss Baby : Everyone wants the hot, new thing. Destroy. Destroy.

Tim Templeton : Lam-Lam!

Boss Baby : I’ve got fresh batteries. Boom!

Tim Templeton : Mom and Dad don’t even know you. They love me!

Boss Baby : Oh, yeah? Do the math, kid. There’s only so much love to go

around. It’s 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 Templeton : We could share.

Boss Baby : You obviously didn’t go to business school. Look, Templeton, the

numbers just don’t add up. There’s not enough love for the two of

us. Not enough beads to go around. And then, all of a sudden,

there’s no place for Tim. Tim doesn't fit anymore. Oh, no! What

about Tim? So keep quiet. Stay out of my way. Or there’s gonna be

cutbacks.

Tim Templeton : You can’t be fired from your own family. Can you?

Wizzie : Wake up, little halflings! It’s 7:00 a.m. Wake up, little half...

Tim Templeton : What’s the use?

Wizzie : Arise for a nutritious breakfast! It's 7:00 a.m. What’s wrong,

Timothy? Has that little dwarf made you blue?

Tim Templeton : Mm-hmm.

Wizzie : Then I shall cast upon him a great curse! He shall not pass!

Tim Templeton : It’s no use, Wizziee. He’s got Mom and Dad completely fooled. If

they knew what I knew, they’d never let him stay.

Wizzie : Perhaps your parents need to be enlightened. With a great curse!

They shall not pass!

Tim Templeton : Yeah. I need to enlighten them...with proof! That's what I need,

proof!

Wizzie : Expose his dark magic!

Tim Templeton : Testing, testing. Testing, testing. Maybe they can return him to the

store...and get their money back!

Wizzie : We could buy a bouncy house! Godspeed, Tim! It’s 8:45 a.m.

Tim Templeton : Ninja. Ninja. Ninja. Ninja. Babies everywhere! They’re spreading.

Mom! Dad! What's going on? It's an invasion!

Mommy : It’s a play date!

Daddy : That’s a keeper.

Boss Baby : It’s a meeting, and you won’t be attending. C’mon.

Tim Templeton : We’ll see about that.

Boss Baby : Thank you all for coming here on such short notice. Now, before

we begin...

47

Triplets : Yes, sir! Sure is! Affirmative!

Boss Baby : Jimbo, run some interference.

Tim Templeton : Hey!

Boss Baby : We babies are having a crisis!

Triplets : Oh, no! That’s awful! Horrible!

Staci : What is it?

Boss Baby : It’s simpler if I just show you. Teddy, if you please.

Teddy : Let’s put on a show. Here we go!

Boss Baby : Jimbo, hit the lights. You see, babies aren’t getting as much love as

we used to.

Staci : Why? Have we been bad?

Boss Baby : No, Staci. But I’ll tell you who is. Be hold our mortal enemy.

Puppies! No! That’s exactly the problem.

Tim Templeton : Puppies? What’s the deal with puppies?

Boss Baby : Throughout history...people have loved babies more than anything

in the world. We’ve always been a 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 Peekapoo? The Chiweenie? Try to say

“Chiweenie” without smiling. Not possible. Don’t waste your time.

We all laughed at the Shar Pei. And now it's number one in China.

Triplets : Oh, no. That’s terrible! Horrible!

Boss Baby : Yes. And it gets even worse. Mr. Francis, the CEO of Puppy Co,

made this announcement. Teddy, roll the clip.

Mr. Francis : And we are on schedule... to release the most adorable puppy ever.

We're gonna launch it at the pet convention in Las Vegas! Watch

out, world! It’s gonna crush the competition!

Jimbo : 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 Boss

Baby business out of business, baby.

Triplets : That’s awful! 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're going to help me.

Triplets : Genius! Home run! 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?

Triplets : Yes, sir! Sure did!

Boss Baby : Fantastic. Triplets, go!

Triplets : A.B.C.D.

Boss Baby : No, what have you learned about the new puppy?

Jimbo : Yay, puppy!

Boss Baby : No, Jimbo! Puppies are evil. Staci, read back the notes.

Staci : I can’t read. What’s it say?

Boss Baby : This is my team? A muscle-head, a bunch of yes men, and a

doodler?

Triplets : Exactly! Affirmative! Good call. Oh, yeah! Nice one, BB!

Tim Templeton : Gotcha!

Boss Baby : Put that cookie down. Cookies are for closers.

48

Teddy : Let’s have another show!

Boss Baby : No, Teddy!

Teddy : How about a hug?

Boss Baby : No more shows!

Triplets : Boss?

Teddy : There’s plenty of love to go around.

Boss Baby : Go to sleep!

Teddy : Nighty-night.

Triplets : Boss! Boss!

Boss Baby : What?

Triplets : Parents!

Daddy : It’s like they’re having their own little meeting.

Mommy : Isn’t that adorable?

Daddy : Who wants dessert?

Boss Baby : God, this is so humiliating. God, this is so humiliating.

Tim Templeton : Wait until Mom and Dad hear this.

Boss Baby : Hey, Templeton, what you got there?

Tim Templeton : Nothing.

Boss Baby : Hand over the tape.

Tim Templeton : Never! Mom! Dad! Over here!

Mommy : Hi, Timmy!

Daddy : Hi! Anyway...

Staci : Flower power!

Boss Baby : You can’t get away from Johnny Law, simpleton.

Staci : Fasten your seat belt. Let’s go!

Jimbo : Run, run, run.

Tim Templeton : What? Hey!

Triplets : Uh-oh.

Jimbo : Run, run, run. Catch, catch, catch.

Boss Baby : Yes! Oh, yeah! Let go, you little...

Mommy : Oh, look! The kids are finally getting along.

Daddy : That’s nice.

Tim Templeton : Sayonara !You wanna play? Let’s play.

Jimbo : No! Save Boss! Save Boss!

Boss Baby : Get him!

Triplets : I got him! I got him! I got him!

Tim Templeton : You’re toast, baby man!

Boss Baby : Upsies, I need upsies!

Daddy : Who wants...Cheese sticks!

Tim Templeton : Mom, Dad! I’ve got proof! Someone can't go down the stairs?

Boss Baby : Nothing can stop me!

Tim Templeton : Mom! Dad! Where are you guys? Hello? Where did everyone go?

Mom, Dad! Boss Baby can talk!

Boss Baby : Oh, can he now?

Tim Templeton : Wait, how did you...

Boss Baby : Hand over the tape, Timmy. Or Lam-Lam gets it, see?

Tim Templeton : No!

Boss Baby : What’s that, Lam-Lam? You want a nose ring? It’s really not my

scene, but who am I to judge? And an eyebrow ring? Seems like a

little too much, Lam-Lam. How's that gonna look in a job

interview?

Tim Templeton : Stop it!

Boss Baby : The tape, Timmy! Or I'm gonna rip, rip, rip.

49

Tim Templeton : No! Let go!

Boss Baby : You let go!

Tim Templeton : You let go!

Boss Baby : Give me the tape!

Tim Templeton : Give me Lam-Lam!

Boss Baby : Whoops! Too far. Templeton! Templeton, let’s be reasonable. We

can be reasonable, right? What are you doing?

Tim Templeton : You’ve been asking for this since you got here!

Boss Baby : We can talk about this over a juice box!

Tim Templeton : Time for juice boxes is over.

Boss Baby : No, Templeton. You wouldn’t.

Tim Templeton : Say bye-bye, baby! You’re fired!

Daddy : Tim, what are you doing?

Tim Templeton : Nothing. My proof!

Mommy : Tim! Explain yourself!

Daddy : Yes, explain yourself.

Tim Templeton : It wasn’t me! It was Boss Baby’s fault.

Daddy : Boss Baby’s fault?

Tim Templeton : It’s true! He can talk. They all can talk. They were having a

meeting. There’s something about puppies. It’s one big baby con-

spy-racy!

Mommy : Timothy Leslie Templeton!

Daddy : We are very disappointed in you.

Mommy : No, we're mad at you!

Daddy : Exactly, we're mad at you.

Tim Templeton : Mad?

Daddy : You need a time-out!

Mommy : You’re grounded!

Daddy : Yes, grounded! For two...

Mommy : Three!

Daddy : Three days?

Mommy : Weeks!

Daddy : Weeks! Three weeks!

Mommy : For three... evers!

Tim Templeton : Grounded?

Mommy : You’re gonna stay in this house with your baby brother...until you

learn to get along.

Boss Baby : Great.

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.

Parents : Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings

and learn to fly. (Sing)

Tim Templeton : Hey, that’s my song.

Parents : All your life. You were only waiting. For this moment to

arise.(Sing)

Wizzie : It’s okay, little halfling. Perhaps I can be of some assistance.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night! Pray, take these broken

wing sand learn to fly! Fly, you fools! (Sing)

Tim Templeton : Thanks, Wizziee. But it’s not the same.

50

Wizzie : If only I could reach my magical shank. I could break us out of this

big house.

Boss Baby : Templeton! Templeton, we have to talk.

Tim Templeton : Go away.

Boss Baby : Blackbird singing in the dead of night (Sing)

Tim Templeton : Stop it! That’s my song, not yours. My parents wrote it just for me.

Boss Baby : Really? Your parents are Lennon and McCartney?

Tim Templeton : No, Ted and Janice. You don’t even know their names! You’re just

trying to steal them from me. You stole everything! You’re the one

who should be in jail!

Boss Baby : Look, it’s time we put our differences aside. Have you been...

Tim Templeton : No!

Boss Baby : Where’s parents when you need them? Take it.

Tim Templeton : I don’t want your filthy money.

Boss Baby : Look, I told you to stay out of my way.

Tim Templeton : I can’t! You're in my house.

Boss Baby : I don’t wanna be here...any more than you want me to be here.

Tim Templeton : Then why are you torturing me?

Boss Baby : The truth is I’m no ordinary baby.

Tim Templeton : Well, no kidding.

Boss Baby : I'm on a mission from above.

Tim Templeton : Are you Boss Baby Jesus?

Boss Baby : Yes. I’m Boss Baby Jesus. No!You see, I’m more middle

management for the company.

Tim Templeton : The company? What company?

Boss Baby : Here. Take this. It’ll explain everything.

Tim Templeton : What do you want me to do with that?

Boss Baby : I want you to suck it.

Tim Templeton : You suck it!

Boss Baby : No, it’s for you to suck.

Tim Templeton : I’m not sucking that!

Boss Baby : Suck it.

Tim Templeton : I don’t know where it’s been!

Boss Baby : It’s not where it’s been. It’s where it will take you. Don’t you

wanna know...where babies really come from?Binky.Papish.Nuk-

Nuk.Boo-Boo.Bo-Bo.Bah-Bah.Chupie.Hushie-Baby.Tootsie. It

goes by many names. But through its power, you will know the

truth. Come on, faster!

Tim Templeton : Where are we?

Boss Baby : Welcome to Baby Corp!

Tim Templeton : No way.

Baby 1 : Thank you.


Boss Baby : Relax. They can’t see us or hear us.

Tim Templeton : We’re, like, virtual and stuff?

Boss Baby : Yep.

Tim Templeton : You mean they won't feel this?

Boss Baby : Nope.

Tim Templeton : Or this?

Boss Baby : Nada.

Tim Templeton : Karate!

Boss baby : Don’t embarrass yourself, Templeton. I can still see you.

Tim Templeton : So this is where babies come from?

51

Boss Baby : Where’d you think, the cabbage patch? Magic fairies?

Tim Templeton : No, my parents told me that...

Boss Baby : What? No. That’s disgusting.

Tim Templeton : Yeah, it didn't sound right to me, either. I can’t believe my parents

didn't tell me about this.

Boss Baby : If people knew where babies really came from, they’d never have

one. Same thing with hot dogs, by the way.

Baby 2 : Going upsies!

Tim Templeton : So how come I don’t remember this place?

Baby Boss : You did. But after normal babies get their pacifiers taken

away...you forget all about Baby Corp.

Tim Templeton : How come you're not normal?

Boss Baby : A few of us, the best of the best...are selected for the...For the

ultimate honor.Upper management. This, Templeton, is where all

the action is.

Nap time in Sector G.

Tim Templeton : So this whole place is run by babies?

Boss Baby : Yep.

Tim Templeton : My Dad says, ‘Those who can, do’. ‘And those who can’t,

supervise’.

Boss Baby : Your father is a hippy.

Tim Templeton : What happens when you grow up?

Boss Baby : We don’t. We drink a super-secret baby formulat hat keeps us

babies forever.

Big Boss Baby : Back to work! Formula break is over! We’re in a crisis here! Don’t

you know we're in a crisis here?

Tim Templeton : Who is that?

Boss Baby : That is my boss. Big Boss Baby.

Tim Templeton : What is she screaming about?

Boss Baby : Well, see this pie chart?

Tim Templeton : Wow, it looks like a giant pie.

Boss Baby : It represents all the love there is in the world.

Tim Templeton : I love pie.

Boss Baby : Who doesn't?

Tim Templeton : Apple.

Boss Baby : Fine.

Tim Templeton : No, cherry!

Boss Baby : Perfect!

Tim Templeton : Not pumpkin.

Boss Baby : Okay. That’s a vegetable. Point is, the puppies' slice is getting

bigger and bigger. They’re stealing all our love!

Tim Templeton : Just like you did to me.

Boss Baby : Exactly. And if this keeps up...there might not be enough pie left

for babies.

Tim Templeton : No pie?

Boss Baby : No pie. So, my mission is to find out what this new puppy is.

Tim Templeton : So you’re, like, on a spy mission? Cool!

Boss Baby : Yes! Cool! And if... When I succeed...I’ll become a Baby Corp

legend. Like Super Big Boss Baby, Mega Boss Baby...Seriously

Big Boss Baby...and him.

Tim Templeton : Now that’s a big, fat baby.

52

Boss Baby : No, that’s Big Fat Boss Baby. This is Super Colossal Big Fat Boss

Baby. He was the youngest Chief Executive In fan tin the history

of the company.

Tim Templeton : Was? What happened to him?

Boss Baby : Retired, years ago. But I still try and live up to his legend. I n every

situation, I ask myself...“W-W-S-C-B-F-B-B-D?” “What Would

Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby Do?”.

Tim Templeton : So that’s all you get ?Your picture on the wall?

Boss Baby : Come here! I’ll get a promotion. The corner office...with my own

private potty.

Tim Templeton : Wow. So when you’re done, you’re coming back here?

Boss Baby : A-S-A-P, T-i-m. I'm not a family man. I belong behind a desk.

Tim Templeton : That's awesome!

Boss Baby : I know, right?

Tim Templeton : Pew pew.

Big Boss Baby : What ?So help me, I will nail his diaper to the wall! Have we heard

anything from that little Boss Baby...that we sent down to the

Templetons?

Baby 2 : I don’t know.

Big Boss Baby : You’re fired!

Boss Baby : Oh, no.

Big Boss Baby : You’re all fired! The pet convention is in two days. If he doesn't

come up with answers...he is fired, retired! Gone!

Boss Baby : Tour’s over.

Tim Templeton : What was Big Bossy Baby Lady screaming about?

Boss Baby : She’s demanding actual results. The pet convention is in two days,

and I’ve got nothing! That’s her! Don’t answer it! Stress nap! If I

don’t find out what that new puppy is and fast... not only will I not

get that promotion... I could get fired!

Tim Templeton : Hey, relax. I'm sure there’s other cool jobs for babies, right?

Meanwhile, two days goes by like that. You better start packing.

Boss Baby : What? You don’t get it, Templeton. If I’m fired, they’ll take away

my formula. I will turn into a normal baby...and live here forever

with you.

Tim Templeton : No!

Boss Baby : Yes! And I promise you this...Every morning you wake up...I’ll be

there. Every night, at dinner...I’ll be there. Every birthday

party...I’ll be there. Every Christmas! I’ll be there Year after year

after year. We will grow old together. You and I...will be brothers.

Always.

Tim Templeton : No. No, this is terrible!

Boss Baby : I know.

Tim Templeton : This can’t be happening.

Boss Baby : But it is!

Tim Templeton : You can’t stay here!

Boss Baby : I can’t!

Tim Templeton : Don’t panic!

Boss Baby : But it feels right!

Tim Templeton : I know, but we have to fix this. We have to make sure you don't get

fired.

Boss Baby : We?

Tim Templeton : We. I will help you...but just to get rid of you. Deal?

Boss Baby : Deal. Here’s to never seeing you again.

53

Tim Templeton : Back at ya, baby.

Boss Baby : Now let’s get to work. Come on, come on, come on. Slice!

Tim Templeton : No, no. There’s nothing here about a new puppy. Aren’t you gonna

do any work?

Boss Baby : I’m very busy delegating. He drains it!

Tim Templeton : So once we find the file on the new puppy...what do we do then?

Send in Boss Baby ninjas?

Boss Baby : Even better. I’m going to write the perfect memo. Boom!

Tim Templeton : Boom! Wait. What’s a memo?

Boss Baby : A memo is something you write to give people information.

Tim Templeton : That’s your plan? You’re gonna write a book report? That’s so

boring.

Boss Baby : No, Templeton. Memos are for important things. A memo can

bring people together. A memo can be a call to arms... a manifesto,

a poem. A memo can change the world.

Tim Templeton : Wow! When you explain it like that...it still sounds boring.

Boss Baby : You’ll learn, kid. You’ll learn.

Tim Templeton : Wait a second. This is it!

Boss Baby : What? What is it?

Tim Templeton : Check this out. Take Your Kid to Work Day.

Boss Baby : People take children to a place of business? Why?

Tim Templeton : Because it’s awesome!

Boss Baby : It’s disgusting.

Tim Templeton : Don’t you see? We can get inside Puppy Co...and find out what the

new puppy is!

Boss Baby : What’s the point? You’re grounded. Your parents aren’t going to

take us anywhere.

Tim Templeton : You’re right. They think we hate each other.

Boss Baby : Hate is a strong word. It’s the right word, but still.

Tim Templeton : We have to convince them that we’re actual brothers.

Boss Baby : Right.

Tim Templeton : That we...

Boss Baby : Loathe?

Tim Templeton : No.

Boss Baby : Like!

Tim Templeton : No. That we...

Tim Templeton : La, la, la...

Boss Baby : Le, Le, Le...

Boss Baby : No. No way. No. You don’t mean...

Tim Templeton : Love each other.

Boss Baby : I just threw up a noodle and swallowed it.

Tim Templeton : Here comes the choo-choo train!

Boss Baby : No.

Tim Templeton : Choo, choo, chugga, chugga.

Boss Baby : No choo-choo!

Tim Templeton : Hold the train!

Boss Baby : No!

Tim Templeton : It looks like it’s already been eaten!

Daddy : Who’s there? I got a racket!

Mommy : What’s going on in here?

Tim Templeton : I’m just feeding Boss Baby. They’re watching. Choo-choo.

Mommy : Okay.

Daddy : Okay

54

Boss Baby : Choo-choo on that. I don’t wear nautical. It’s not even Friday!

Tim Templeton : Come on, you’re putting this thing on!

Boss Baby : You gonna make me? You can’t make me, punk. What have you

done to me?

Tim Templeton : Stop! Get back here!

Boss Baby : No! No way.

Tim Templeton : Come on!

Daddy : Tim, what are you doing in here?

Tim Templeton : Oh, no.

Mommy : Hey, what’s all the racket?

Tim Templeton : Isn’t he adorable?

Mommy : I’ve got one for you, too! Ahoy, matey!


Boss Baby : Bummer.

Daddy : Smile!

Tim Templeton : Smile for the camera.

Boss Baby : It makes me feel weak.

Boss Baby : It doesn’t work on me.

Tim Templeton : Here?

Boss Baby : I’m dead down there.

Tim Templeton : Come on, everyone has a tickle spot. “I don't think I'll fit,' said

Gretel” (Read a book)

Mommy : Come here, look at this.

Tim Templeton : “'I could get in myself.’ “And then, Hansel and Gretel...pushed the

wicked old woman into the oven. “And the godless witch was

miserably burnt to death”. (Read a book)

Boss Baby : Let me get this straight. The story is about cannibalismand

burning people alive.

Tim Templeton : Yeah.

Boss Baby : No wonder kids are so messed up!

Tim Templeton : Getting along is exhausting.

Boss Baby : Back at ya, Tim.

Tim Templeton : You should have seen your face in that picture. You were all...

Boss Baby : I’m not used to being tickled. Once at a corporate retreat. But those

things always get weird.

Tim Templeton : What? You've never been tickled? What about your parents? I’m

sorry. I forgot. You didn’t have parents, did you?

Boss baby : Tim, I may look like a baby...but I was born all grown up.

Tim Templeton : I can’t even imagine not being a kid. You missed out on your

whole childhood? You never had someone to love you?

Boss Baby : You can’t miss what you never had.

Wizzie : Wake up, little halflings!

Boss Baby : Hey, Tim. Wake up, buddy.


Mommy : Rise and shine!

Tim Templeton : Is something wrong? Am I fired?

Daddy : No, you’re late for work.


Daddy : It’s Take Your Kid to Work Day! And you’re the kid.

Mommy : You’re officially un-grounded.

Tim Templeton : Really?

Daddy : Really.

Tim Templeton : Can Boss Baby come, too?

55

Mommy : I don’t see why not.

Tim Templeton : Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Yeah!

Daddy : I wish I was that excited for work.

Mommy : Look, it’s my spatula.

Tim Templeton : Yeah, baby.

Daddy : All right, gentlemen. Welcome to Puppy Co.

Tim Templeton : Wow! This is awesome!

Daddy : And Tim, look! They have a puppy pool and everything!

Mommy : Isn't that sanitary?

Daddy : Hey, bud, you wanna get a picture with Puppy Co Pete?

Tim Templeton : No, thanks. It’s probably too scary for Boss Baby.

Boss Baby : Nice call.

Mommy : Your dad and I have some work to do. You wanna come up to the

office and hang out with us?

Daddy : We’ll stick your brother in the Puppy Zone...while we have a little

Tim time.

Tim Templeton : Tim time?

Mommy : Dad and I know we haven’t been able to do as much with you as

we used to. So, what do you say?

Tim Templeton : No, thanks. I'd rather spend time with Boss Baby.

Daddy : So cute.

Mommy : That's so sweet.

Boss Baby : Way to keep your eyes on the prize, Templeton. We find out what

the new puppy is, and I go home.

Daddy : You guys stay in the Puppy Zone, okay?

Tim Templeton : Okay, bye! That’s where we'll find the secret file on the new

puppy.

Boss Baby : We’ll never get through that door.

Tim Templeton : No, not that door. The doggy door.

Boss Baby : But how do we get past the guard? No, no, no. No way. No! Itchy,

plushy, puppy pants!

Girl 1 : What a cute, little pup...Ow! Yay!

Boss Baby : Kids.

Tim Templeton : Get down. All the way down.

Boss Baby : I’ve never been so humiliated in all my life. Arf!

Tim Templeton : Hey! Fetch!

Boss Baby : What am I doing?

Tim Templeton : Oh, no! Yes! What a good boy. No. No biting. Timothy Templeton,

office ninja.

Boss Baby : Over here.

Tim Templeton : What is it? It’s gotta be in here.

Boss Baby : It's begging us to go in.

Tim Templeton : Wow. That’s a lot of paperwork.

Boss Baby : I thought puppies shredded everything.

Tim Templeton : This is getting creepy.

Boss Baby : I’ve come for your soul.

Tim Templeton : Cut it out!

Boss Baby : Wait!

Tim Templeton : That’s it!

Boss Baby : The file!

Tim Templeton : See! I was right. No. I’ve seen this before somewhere. We’ve gotta

find something to replace it with.

Boss Baby : You’re right. Like another file.

56

Tim Templeton : Yes! A file with the same weight.

Boss Baby : So it can be placed in the exact same position.

Tim Templeton : With the exact same weight.

Boss Baby : You already said that.

Tim Templeton : I know I said it. Hey, you hit me twice.

Boss Baby : Make it a third time. Wait! I think I’ve seen one here. Smead

manila, pressboard edges. About 50 ounces. No, 49. Try this one.

Wait! Now it’s perfect. Yes!

Tim Templeton : I feel like we should run.

Boss Baby : I know, but it’s just so mesmerizing.

Tim Templeton : I kind of wanna see how it ends.

Boss Baby : Yeah, me too. Well, that didn’t end well.

Boss Baby : What?


Boss Baby : What the...?

Mr. Francis : Thanks for dropping in, kids.

Tim Templeton : Mr. Francis?

Mr. Francis : I see you’ve met my big brother, Eugene. A man of few words.

None, in fact.

Tim Templeton : Can you put your head back on, please?

Boss Baby : What is all this?

Mr. Francis : Surprise!

Boss Baby : A Baby Corp binky? Where did you get that?

Mr. Francis : You don't recognize me? Perhaps from my youth!

Boss Baby : Super Colossal Big Fat Boss Baby?

Tim Templeton : He is him? And him is you? Except older and wrinklier. That's not

right.

Boss Baby : No. You were my hero !How did you end up here?

Mr. Francis : You know what I do to little kids who ask lots of questions about

me? Eugene! I read them my story. And, I baked cookies! Eugene,

my chair. 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... Personal potty? I had it all. But then one day... I made a

terrible discovery. I was getting old. The formula wasn't working

anymore. It turns out I was lactose intolerant.

Boss Baby : No!

Mr. Francis : Yes! I got called into see the board of directors.

Tim Templeton : Who are the boring directors?

Mr. Francis : The biggest baby bosses of them all. I thought they loved me. But

they replaced me with someone new. Someone younger.

Tim Templeton : That’s horrible.

Francis Franncis : 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?

Tim Templeton : Yeah. It does. And then what happened?

Mr. Francis : Well...They fired me! And took away my special formula. Then

they sent me down to live with a...family!

Boss Baby : Oh, Francis, no!

Mr. Francis : Baby Corp betrayed me! And I'm finally going to get

revenge...with the Forever Puppy.

Tim Templeton : Huh?

Boss Baby : That’s it?

57

Mr. Francis : 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...How cute!...no one will ever

want a baby ever, ever again. The end of Baby Corp!

Boss Baby : Please. A puppy that never grows up? That's impossible! Isn’t it?

Mr. Francis : It was, until you brought me the key ingredient.

Boss Baby : My secret formula.

Mr. Francis : It’s mine! It’s mine! It’s all mine.

Boss Baby : No!

Mr. Francis : You brought me the very thing I needed to destroy Baby Corp.

Boss Baby : No!

Mr. Francis : Yes! You walked right into my trap!

Boss Baby : You’ll never get away with this!

Tim Templeton : Yeah, not if we...

Mr. Francis : What? Tell? Who are you gonna tell, Tim? Your parents?

Mommy : Where are the boys?

Daddy : I told them to stay in the Puppy Zone.

Mr. Francis : I’m taking them both with me to Las Vegas. So stay out of my way.

I’d hate for them to get terminated.

Tim Templeton : They'd never leave us alone.

Mr. Francis : Oh, really? Wait until they meet Puppy Co’s certified...in-house

childcare expert.

Tim Templeton : Oh, no.

Boss Baby : Oh, no.

Daddy : Don’t be nervous, buddy.

Mommy : It’s only overnight.

Daddy : We’ll be back before you know it.

Mommy : Besides, you boys are in great hands.

Mr. Francis : That's right! Eugenia is practically perfect in every way.

Tim Templeton : No. Please don't go with him. Mr. Francis is trying to...

Mr.Francis : Believe me...Eugenia won't take her eyes off your children. Not for

one second.

Daddy : That's very reassuring.

Mr. Francis : Now you see them. And now, you don't. Too-da-loo !To the

airport!

Boss baby : It’s over. I'm through. What do we do, Templeton? What do we do?

Tim Templeton : We have to get to the airport and stop Mr. Francis...before the plane

takes off!

Boss Baby : Yes! But how do we get past Scary Poppins down there?

Tim Templeton : Okay. There must be something we can do. Hey, it’s not that bad.

Are you okay? What's the matter with you?

Boss Baby : Don’t look at me! Oh, no! Without that formula, I turn into a

normal baby. You know, goo-goo, Ga-ga. The whole bit!

Tim Templeton : Oh, no! Gross!

Boss Baby : I’m a ticking baby time bomb! I’m going to turn into a puking,

pooping, helpless baby!

Tim Templeton : Wait a second. That gives me an idea.

Boss Baby : What? What is it?

Tim Templeton : I’ve been through a lot of babysitters...and they all fear one thing.

Tim Templeton : Hey, Mr. Lady Man! Boss Baby. I think he’s sick! You gotta do

something! Oh, the horror!

Boss Baby : Templeton!

(Television)

Delicious!

Tim Templeton : Gross! It got in your mouth! It got in my mouth, too! I think I'm

gonna be sick!

Boss Baby : Swirly!

Tim Templeton : There’s only an hour before the plane takes off.

Boss Baby : Let’s take the bike.

Tim Templeton : The bike? I don’t know.

Boss Baby : Let’s move!

Tim Templeton : Okay, but wait right here!

Boss Baby : What? Where are you going? Templeton!

Tim Templeton : Always wear a helmet.

Boss Baby : Too-da-loo, toilet head!

Tim Templeton : You’ll never catch us!

Boss Baby : Staci! Staci, come in!

Mom Staci : Oh, Staci!

Staci : Is that you, boss?

Boss Baby : Code red! I’m being chased by a killer babysitter! Gather the team!

Staci : On it, boss.

Triplets : Hello! Hello! 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 Templeton : But that’s jaywalking!

Boss Baby : Here, I’ll pay your ticket. Go!

Tim Templeton : I think we lost him!

Boss Baby : Oh, no, we didn’t!

Staci : Flower power!

Jimbo : Pow, pow, pow!

Boss Baby : That's my boy!

Jimbo : Poppy! Run, run, run.

Triplets : Uh-oh.

Jimbo : Run, run, run.

Boss Baby : Tim, you’ve gotta go faster!

Tim Templeton : I can’t do it!

Boss Baby : You can. 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. Good!

Tim Templeton : Uh-oh! My training wheels! I can’t ride without training wheels!

Boss Baby : Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right!

Tim Templeton : 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!

Tim Templeton : I’m a sea captain, taming the ocean!

Boss Baby : Good!

Tim Templeton : Tree! I’m gonna hit it!

Boss Baby : Aim for failure, and you’ll always succeed.

59


Boss Baby : Aim away from failure!

Tim Templeton : I’m doing it. I'm doing it!

Boss Baby : Once success is a habit...then it’s all downhill.

Tim Templeton : Look! There they are! Mom, Dad! Train!

Boss Baby : Choo-choo! Templeton, Stop! What are you doing?

Tim Templeton : We're gonna make it.

Boss Baby : But I don’t have a quote for this! You did it!

Tim Templeton : No! We did it.

Boss Baby : And all without your training wheels.

Tim Templeton : Coming through!

Boss Baby : Baby on board!

Tim Templeton : Hang on to your diaper! Duck and cover!

Police : Hold it, buddy! I'm gonna need a strip search on two.

Tim Templeton : There they are! Mom, Dad!

Boss Baby : Hey, not so fast !Oh, no. Templeton! Hey!

Tim Templeton : Sorry! Hey, where’d you go? Oh, no! Not again! Not now!

Boss Baby : What the...?No, no, no!

Tim Templeton : Come on!

Boss baby : I think I ate $1.75.

Tim Templeton : Excuse me, coming through! Mom, Dad!

Mr. Franco : Hurry now! Move! We don't wanna miss our flight!

Tim Templeton : No!

Mr. Franco : I warned you!

Tim Templeton : Wait! No! No. Mom, Dad! Stop! No! No, no, no. They’re gone.

Boss Baby : I failed.

Tim Templeton : I would’ve gotten to my parents if I didn’t have to go back for you!

Boss Baby : What? We would have been herein 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 Templeton : Who cares? My parents are in danger.

Boss Baby : I care! Baby Corp is going to go out of business.

Tim Templeton : That’s all you ever talk about. You don't even know what it's like to

be part of a family.

Boss Baby : And you don’t know what it’s like to have a job!

Tim Templeton : You don’t know anything about hugs, or bedtime stories, or special

songs!

Boss Baby : Oh, please! Stop acting like a baby.

Tim Templeton : You’re a baby!

Boss Baby : You take that back.

Tim Templeton : My life was perfect until you showed up!

Boss Baby : Believe me, kid, the feeling is mutual. I wish I’d never met you!

Tim Templeton : I wish you’d never been born! Where are you going? Fine!

Tim Templeton : What do you mean?

60

Boss Baby : Baby Corp is the only home I’ve ever known. So you’re right. I

don’t know what it's like...to be part of a family. But I do care.

Tim Templeton : You do?

Boss Baby : Yeah. And the only way to save both is to stop Mr. Francis.


Boss Baby : I can’t do this without you, Tim. I need you.

Tim Templeton : I guess we do make a pretty good team.

Boss Baby : No. Literally, I can’t reach the door knobs.

Tim Templeton : Oh, right.

Boss Baby : Don’t worry, Tim. We’re gonna save your parents.

Tim Templeton : And your company. But how do we get to Vegas now?

Boss Baby : We're gonna need a miracle. Follow that Elvis!

Captain Ross : Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Ross again. As you can see, I’ve

switched off the seat belt sign.

Stewardess : What are you two boys doing up here?

Tim Templeton : We’re Captain Ross’s kids. He told us to sit here.

Stewardess : Well, can I get you special guys anything?

Tim Templeton : Anything?

Stewardess : Anything.

Tim Templeton : Aye! All right, Mr. Francis. This will teach you to kidnap the

parents of One-Eyed Tim.

Tim Templeton : What’s your plan? You're not gonna write a memo, are you?

Boss Baby : No.

Boss Baby : You’re not?

continent. In every country! We’re going to take over the world,

one heart at a time.

Mr. Francis : Bratty kid!

Boss Baby : Let our parents go! His parents. The parents.

Tim Templeton : Yeah!

Mr. Francis : You could have had your parents' love all to yourself again! But

no! You blew it! You let that baby boss you around.

Mr. Francis : My ears! Stop it! Little brats! Nothing is going to get in the way of

my vengeance. Not you, not anybody! Baby Corp is through. I

win! Ha!

Tim Templeton : Hang on to your diaper!

Mommy : We’re moving!

Daddy : Why are we moving?

Tim Templeton : All right, Mom and Dad, hang on!

cake! Get down! Don’t cry. I’m sorry. Please don’t cry!

Boss Baby : We won! Yes!

Boss Baby : Victory nap!

Mr. Francis : You ruined everything! It’s not fair! It’s not fair!

64

Boss Baby : Oh, yeah? It’s time you pick on someone your own size!

Mr. Francis : What? Eugene! You put me down! You hear me? I am the boss of

you!

Eugene : This time, we’ll raise him right.

Boss Baby : Well, team, good job. Staci, this letter should get you into the

school of your choice.

Staci : Kindergarten?

Boss Baby : That’s right. And if there’s anything else...

Boss Baby : Lollipop! Deal.

Staci : Best boss ever.

Boss Baby : And you guys don’t always have to toe the company line, you

know? It’s okay to think for yourself.

Triplets : No, sir! No way! That’s a terrible idea!

Boss Baby : That's the attitude.

Triplets : You’re so right! You’ve got it, sir! You’re the man! Absolutely!

Boss Baby : Here you go, big guy. You’ve earned it. You wanna hug me, don’t

you? I’ll miss you too, buddy. Okay.

Triplets : There, there. It’ll be okay, big guy.

Tim Templeton : So...you did it.

Boss Baby : No. We did it.

Tim Templeton : By the way, congratulations on your promotion. The corner office,

the private potty. All that stuff.

Boss Baby : But, hey! How about you? You have your parents all to yourself.

Tim Templeton : So what am I gonna tell Mom and Dad after you leave?

Boss Baby : Don’t worry. Baby Corp has a procedure for situations like this.

It’ll be like I was never born. I almost forgot!

Tim Templeton : No way! Lam-Lam! You fixed her.

Boss Baby : Yep. She’s as good as new. She’s a tough one.

Tim Templeton : Well, I guess we both got what we wanted.

Boss Baby : It's a win-win. Probably should...

Boss Baby : So, stay in school.

Tim Templeton : I don’t really have a choice.

Boss Baby : Yeah, right. Goodbye, Tim.

Tim Templeton : Bye. Yeah, right.

He left as suddenly as he arrived.

Triplets : Bye.

Finally, my life was perfect again.

Baby Corp Procedure: Forget about Boss Baby. Oopsies! Pardon me, big fella.

Baby Corp Staff : Surprise! Hooray!

Baby Corp Procedure: Forget about Boss Baby?

Tim Templeton : No, thanks. I’m good.

Baby Corp Procedure: Okie-dokie.

Boss Baby : Argh.

Tim Templeton : Dear Boss Baby...I don't usually write very much...but now I know

that memos are 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. I would like to offer you a job. It will be hard work... and

there will be no pay. But the good news is that you can never be

fired. And I promise you this. Every morning when you wake up, I

will be there. Every night at dinner, I will be there. Every birthday

party, every Christmas morning... I will be there. Year after year

after year. We will grow old together. And you and I will

always......be brothers. Always. (Letter)

Wizziee : Wake up, little halflings! It's 7:00 a.m.

Tim Templeton : What’s the point, Wizziee?

Wizziee : Because it’s 7:00 a.m. I have one job to do, and you make it so

difficult. It’s okay, little halfling. Sometimes, I get confused too.

Especially during daylight savings time. Spring forward, fall back.

We don’t even have calendars in the wizard's realm! There is no

spring, only darkness and winter!

Boss Baby : I'm not confused at all, Wizziee. I just miss him.

Mommy : Tim, look who's here!

Daddy : It's your new baby...

Tim Templeton : Brother! You’re here! You’re really here!

Mommy : Gentle, gentle.

Tim Templeton : You came back!

Daddy : Say hello to Theodore Lindsey Templeton.

Tim Templeton : Lindsey? Who’s ticklish? Who’s ticklish?

Mommy : Here you go.

So, that's my story. Our story. Luckily for me and my little brother, it had a happy ending.

Leslie : Is that a true story, Daddy?

Tim Templeton : Well, sweetie, that’s how I remember it. But you know what I

found out?

Leslie : What?

Tim Templeton : There’s plenty of love for everyone.

Leslie : Even me?

Tim Templeton : Especially you. Just ask your Uncle Ted.

Boss Baby : Hey, kid, I hear you’re gonna have a baby sister.

Leslie : I wanted a horse.

Boss Baby : Here you go, kid. Go get yourself a horse. You know, I’m proud of

you, Leslie.

Tim Templeton : Back at ya, Lindsey.

Tim Templeton Kid: Hi there, baby sister.

Baby Sister : Argh!
