10 quotes Po Po Ah. My old enemy ... stairs.
Po My fist hungers for justice. [His stomach belches and the Furious Five stare at him; embarrassed] That was my... fist.
Po I'm not freaking out, I'm freaking in.
Po Skadoosh!
Po Did you guys see that? It's called being awesome.
Po Tigress! Monkey! Viper! Mantis! Bunny! Wha? Oh, sorry.
Po Got it ... stealth mode.
Po [From a deleted scene]
You guys, did you see that? I just was like, WA-TIIIIIEEEEEE!!! Yeah! [Tigress faceplams]
Po [slow motion]
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Scenes with Po
13 scenes Po Master Shifu! Master Shifu, what do we got? Pirates, Vandals of Volcano Mountain? Whatever it is, I will take them down! 'Cause I'm in a mood. I need to get something done. You know what I mean? Ahh... What you doing?
One of master Oogway's final teachings. [performs the "Inner Peace" technique.]
Po Whoa... how did you do that?
Inner peace.
Po Inner piece. That's cool. Inner piece of what?
It's the next phase of your training. Every master must find his path to inner peace. Some chose to meditate for 50 years, in a cave just like this! Without the slimmest taste of food. Or water.
Po Or...?
Some find it in torture and suffering. As I did. Po, the day you were chosen as Dragon Warrior...was the worst day of my life. By far, nothing else came close. It was the worst, most painful, mind destroying horrible moment...
Po Okay.
...I have ever experienced. [shudders at the thought] But once I realized the problem was not you, but within me, I found inner peace and was able to harness the flow of the universe.
Po So that's it? I just need inner peace? My innards are already super, super peaceful.. So, all I need to do, is just get this thing going. Inner peace, you're going down! Now show me what were you doing that with your feet. I saw just sort of fancy foot...
Po! Bandits, approaching the Musician's village
Po Danger! Tell those musicians to start playing some action music, because it is on! Don't worry, Shifu. I'll master inner peace, as soon as I get back.
No snack stops this time.
Po [laughs]
Snack stops! [then] Wait, you serious?
[to Po and the Furious Five, reading from a scroll]
Are you familiar with the master of Gongmen City?
Po Master Thundering Rhino?
Yes.
Po Son of the legendary Flying Rhino?
Po And the slayer of the 10,000 serpents in the Valley of Woe?
Po [Po and the Five look at the scroll in horror] (What?)
Whoa.
That's impossible! (What happened?)
Rhino's horn defense is impervious to any technique!
It was no technique! Lord Shen has created a weapon - one that breathes fire and spits metal! Unless he is stopped, this could mean the end of Kung Fu.
Po But I just got Kung Fu!
And now, you must save it! [points out with his staff] Go! Destroy this weapon and bring Lord Shen to justice!
Po [starts running with the Five]
Okay, here we go, here we– [as the Five leave, he turns back to Shifu] Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait... How can I do this? I mean, how can Kung Fu stop something that stops Kung Fu?
Remember, Dragon Warrior, anything is possible when you have inner peace.
Po Momma? Mom? Dad? Is that you? Mom, Dad!
Dad Panda Oh.. Hi! Hey-Hey.. Son, you are back.
Mom Panda
Huh? Honey, what you doing here?
Po But I thought..
Mom Panda
We replaced you, dear, with this lovely radish.
Po Radish!?
Dad Panda It's quiet, polite, and frankly.. It does better kung fu.
Po No.. No, no, no! Wait! Radish, radish, radish! Inner pea.. pea.. Inner peace. Inner peace, inner peace, inner peace... I'm... Training.
The mast is not a worthy opponent. I'm ready.
Po Okay.. So serious! I think I prefer the mast.
Apologies. I used to punch the ironwood trees by the palace to train. Now, I feel nothing.
Po That's severely cool!
Again!
Po [training with Tigress on the boat]
So, um, this punching ironwood trees, how long did you have to do that?
20 years.
Po Oh! 20... 20 years. Is there any... you know, a faster way? You know, until you'll, you know, don't feel anything?
No. Besides... [twists Po's fist, spins him in the air and lands on the floor; then smiles, watching Po's belly bounces to stop] I don't think hard style is... your thing.
Po Oh.
Po, why are you really out here?
Po I just found out that my dad... isn't really my dad.
Your dad, the goose? [Po nods; deadpan] That must have been quite a shock, and this bothers you?
Po Are you kidding me? We're warriors, right? Nerves of steel, souls of Platinum. Like you. So hard core, you don't feel anything!
I was…
So, what you guys talking about?
Po Nothing. Nothing!
Po's having daddy's issues.
I'm so lucky, I don't have any problems with my dad. Maybe it's 'cause Mom ate his head before I was born. I don't know!
Mantis, this isn't about you! Po is the one freaking out.
Po I'm not freaking out.
Po...
Po I'm freaking in.
Po!
Po What?
We're here. Gongmen city!
That must be Shen's palace, in the other side of the city.
Po Great! We will match in the tower, and proclaim; We are the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five, And we are here to bring you to justice!
What are you doing? This place is crawling with wolves.
Hey! Isn't that the guy that hammered you in the face?
Po I do not like that guy.
We need to get to that to tower, without being spotted by those wolves.
Po Got it.. Stealth Mode! That noodles! Ow! Hello! Yeah, okay.. Anyway. Where was I?
Where is Po?
How can we lose a guy that big?
Po Guys, guys?
He-Hey, Po!
Po Sorry!
So, that was Stealth Mode, Huh?
Po To be honest, not one of my stronger modes.
This rice is raw!
Sheep
You stole of my metal pots for Lord Shen!
Either you cook my rice, or I cook you!
Po, do something!
Po How am I supposed to help her cook rice without getting caught? Wait.. I have a better idea!
Three, Two, One!
Po Hey!
Hey!
Po We're here to liberate the city, and bring Shen to justice.
Sheep
You will need help!
Po Thank you brave sheep, but it's too dangerous.. I can't let you.
Sheep
Oh.. No, not me. It's not safe to speak here.
Po Right!
Sheep
I'm talking about, Masters Ox and Croc! They are in Gongmen Jail, at Black Dragon alley.
Po What? They're still alive?! They must be in that jail gathering intelligence, hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon! Okay, let's go! Thanks, sheep.
Hey! Stop that costume!
Take.. That!
Now! Got you! Split up! Search everywhere!
What about over there?
Is 'there' a part of everywhere?
I.. I guess.
Then search there!
Po They must be close. I can feel a Kung Fu chill riding up my spine.
Look! 'Gongmen Jail'!
Oh.. It's cute.
Cute? Huh?
Nice work, Po.
At the first sight of trouble, I'll give you a signal. Ka-kaw! Kee-kee!
Po You mean like Crane does?
Yeah!
Excuse me! When have I ever made that noise?
Po Master Ox! Master.. The ferocious Master Croc! And Master Storming Ox! I can't believe, I'm rescuing actual legends of Kung Fu. No, they wouldn't leave a key around here. Oh, good! You found it. Come on, you guys. Yeah! We're coming for you, Shen! Guys, are we going or not? Do you want to meet us there later? I mean, you do wanna take back your city, right?
Of course we do. But if we stand up against Shen, he will turn the weapon on the city!
Po Listen to your self. You're protecting Gongmen city, by not protecting Gongmen city? If we all fight together..
Then the weapon would kill everyone.
Po Oh, would it? Then we use, a sneak attack. We'll get inside, and then...
And then you'll be stopped! By the unstoppable weapon.
Po Nothing is unstoppable except for me when I'm stopping you from telling me something unstoppable. Master Ox, I'm not let you stay in this cell!
Then let's just see how you get me out!
Po You guys see that? It's called being awesome! Come on! Whatever happened to being heroes?
The only hero in this town is a dead one.
Like I said; You are not getting me out of this cell!
Po Yes! Alright. Let's go!
I get the top bunk.
It's time to surrender, panda. Kung Fu is dead!
Po I.. You.. You.. Kung Fu is a dea..aa.ad! Fine! You stay in your prison of fear! With bars made of hopelessness. And all you get is 3 square meals a day of shame!
With despair for dessert.
Po We'll take on Shen and prove to all those who hunger for justice and honor that Kung Fu still lives.
Boar Prisoner Yeah!
Is that all you got? 'Cause it feels like I'm fighting a big old fluffy cloud!
Po Well, this cloud is about to bring the thunder! Why are there.. so.. many.. signs? Come here! Alaka-squasho! Yes! Taste of the defeat. Let me tell you something.. Next time you miss with a panda, you better bring a whole...
Guess nobody told you, if you mess with the wolf, you get the fangs. I've hit you twice.. what are you gonna do now?
Po We surrender!
You could chain my body but you will never chain my.. warrior spirit.
Po They don't forget the little guy!
Did you just called me..
Po, what are you doing?
Po Trust me, I gotta a... pla..ww! No way! Eight point acupressure cuffs! Just like the one that held Tai Lung, the more you move the tighter they get.. These are the best cuffs.
Po [after Shen shows off his Feathers, causing Po to have another vision about the Massacre of the Pandas]
You-- you were there.
Yes. Yes, I was. [escapes]
Oh.. You! What did you do? It's chaos up there. What happened to stopping Shen?
Yeah.
Po Yeah.. Guys, come on! Give me a little credit. I meant for him to get away. 'Cause.. It was a trick. There's a plot! I was thinking... of figuring out his plot.. more.
That makes no sense.
Po What do you mean? Sure it does.
Po, the truth! You had Shen. What happened?
Po What are you talking about? What're you.. I don't know, what are you talking about? Uh.. Yeah! Ahh.. He caught me off guard.
The truth! Fine. They'll keep you far from danger.
Real far.
Po What?
You're staying here.
Po Wa.. Wait! I have to go back..
You're staying here!
Po I'm going. And you can't stop me! Okay, I wasn't ready that time.
Guys, don't.
Ready.
Po Look!
Stay down.
Po I have to get to him.
Then, tell me why!
Po He was there. Okay? The peacock was there, the last time I saw my parents. He knows what happened. Where I came from. Who I am. Look, I'm going. I have to know. The hard core can't understand.
Tigress... No!
The hard core do understand. But I can't watch my friend be killed. We're going.
Hey, maybe you can't watch me be killed?
Stop being a wimp.
And she's back.
Don't worry, kid. You're better off here.
Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.
[Realizing the truth in her words, Po remembers all the happy times he's had with his loved ones]
So, who are you, panda?
Po [slowly stands up]
I am Po... and I'm gonna need a hat.
Po [standing on a rooftop]
Shen, a panda stands between you and your... [Cut to where Shen is standing, and can barely hear Po; faintly] ...Destiny!
WHAT?! [Cut back to Po]
Po Prepare yourself for a hot serving of– [Cut back to Shen; faintly] ...Justice! Your reign of terror comes to an end!
Why aren't we firing?!
They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!
But, sir, we'll kill our own!
[Po keeps fighting the wolves, Wolf Boss looks at Shen then flings down his torch] [last words before his death; defiantly]
No.
[Shen kills Wolf Boss with one of his knifes] [After Po destroys Shen's weapons] [trying to catch his breath]
H-- how did you... how did you do it?
Po [shrugs]
You know, you just keep your elbows up and keep the shoulders loose--
Not that! How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything! I-I-- I scarred you for life!
Po See, that's the thing, Shen. Scars heal.
No, they don't. Wounds heal.
Po Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade, I guess?
I don't (know or) care what scars do.
Po You should, Shen. You gotta let go of that stuff from the past, 'cause it just doesn't matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.
Po [A duel ensues between them, lasting until Shen is crushed to death by his own cannon; Po is flung off the boat and into the water. Everyone watches worriedly; Po emerges]
Whew... [looks at the dock next to him]
Mother Pig What do you mean he's not here?! It's my son's birthday! All he wanted was to meet the Dragon Warrior!
Mr. Ping How about some tofu birthday cake, instead?
Mother Pig You know what... we'll try again some other time. When do you think he'll be back?
Mr. Ping [The words break Mr. Ping's heart. Before they know it, he's in tears]
I don't know, okay?! I DON'T KNOW! Maybe never! I mean, I worry, okay, I'm his dad... or at least I was his dad... [flings himself across the table] Why did he have to go and save China...? I know why, but why? [sniffs] He's just one little panda.
Mr. Ping [The mother pig's son starts laughing; Mr. Ping gets up, turns around and sees Po with two radish baskets. Mr. Ping approaches Po and hugs him]
So how did it go, did you save China?
Po Yep.
Mr. Ping I knew you would... that's why I had these new posters made... [pulls out a poster of Po] "My son saved China. You too can save, buy one dumpling get one free!"
Po Hey, that's a pretty good deal.
Mr. Ping Would you like to try one?
Po Maybe later. [sets down the baskets] There's something I should tell you. [Mr. Ping gulps] While I was gone, I found the village where I was born… I found out how I ended up in that radish basket.
Mr. Ping You did?
Po (Yeah… and)
I know who I am.
Mr. Ping [barely speaking]
You do?
Po I'm your son. [The two embrace] I love you, dad.
Mr. Ping I love you too, son.
Po [Shen emerges from the smoke on a walkway just above Po. Po spots the eye emblem on his tail feathers again and shields his eyes, barely resisting another flashback.] [angrily]
Tell me what happened that night!
Po That night!
Ahh. That night.
Po Yes! [falters] We're talking about the same night, right?
Yes, I was there. Yes, I watched as your parents abandoned you; it's a terrible thing. I believe it went something like THIS! [starts to fight with Po]
Po [After Po is injured from a flying cannonball blast, and is rescued by Soothsayer. Po then looks at Soothsayer with a mug of hot medicine] [exclaims, groans]
Yeah. Like, you could make me drink that... [Soothsayer sticks a needle in his forehead, making his eyes bulge and his mouth pop wide open, tosses the hot medicine in his mouth and yanks the needle, making him swallow] Ew! [coughs]
If I wanted you dead, I would have left you in that river.
Po [removing the needles]
Why save me?
So you can fulfill your destiny.
Po What are you talking about? Where am I? [notices that they are among the burned remains of a small panda village] What is this place?
I am surprised that you remember so little...but then, you were so little when it happened. [Po suddenly hears screaming inside his head and cries out in pain. He crawls towards the edge of the house ruin. gazes at him] Perhaps you do remember.
Po What? It's just a stupid nightmare.
Nightmare...or memory?
