 * Ted: Well, you carried Lam-Lam around until you were like-
 * Tim: This is not about Lam-Lam.
 * [Boss Baby snickers]


 * Boss Baby: 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: You can talk!
 * Boss Baby: Uhhh... Goo-goo-ga-ga!
 * Tim: No! You can really talk! I heard you!
 * Boss Baby: Fine! I can talk. Now let's see if you can listen. Give me a double espresso and see if there's someplace around here with decent sushi, I'd KILL for a spicy tuna roll right about now. [gives Tim some money] Get yourself a little something.
 * Tim: Who are you?
 * Boss Baby: Let's just say.. I'm the boss.
 * Tim: The boss? You're a baby. You wear a diaper.

The triplets play with the broken glass from the window that Jimbo threw Boss Baby into it. Staci is stuck in the tree. She looks at them, with a confused expression on her face, and cries.]
 * Woman: Oh! Oh! Oh!
 * Tim: Mom, Dad! I've got proof! [Boss Baby runs in his walker and gets vampire teeth and bites Tim on the leg] Ah! [Boss Baby tumbles, and Tim slides down the stairs] Oh, someone can't come down the stairs? Ha!
 * Boss Baby: Nothing can stop me! [rolls down the stairs, then Tim opens the door, and he rolls outside, and Tim closes the door]

 * Boss Baby: No, no, Templeton! You wouldn’t!
 * Tim: Say bye-bye, baby! You’re fired!
 * Ted: [enters the room with Janice] Tim, what are you doing?!
 * Tim: [looks at his father] Nothing. [Boss Baby looks at Ted, and cries. Tim lets go of the jumper, accidentally shoots the tape out the window, then it lands onto the road and gets run over in tape is broken by a passing car, horrified, gasps] My proof! [Boss Baby grins triumphantly]
