Tigress

The mast is not a worthy opponent. [lands on the bow of the boat; puts out her paw] I am ready.

Tigress

Apologies. I used to punch the ironwood trees by the palace to train. Now, I feel nothing.

Tigress

The hardcore do understand. But I can't watch my friend be killed.

Tigress

Impressive, Dragon Warrior! What's your plan?

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...

Tigress

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.

Tigress

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?

[hands Po the scroll]

Yes.

Po

And the slayer of the 10,000 serpents in the Valley of Woe?

[sadly]

He's dead.

Po
[Po and the Five look at the scroll in horror] (What?)

Whoa.

That's impossible! (What happened?)

Tigress

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.

Tigress

The mast is not a worthy opponent. I'm ready.

Po

Okay.. So serious! I think I prefer the mast.

Tigress

Apologies. I used to punch the ironwood trees by the palace to train. Now, I feel nothing.

Po

That's severely cool!

Tigress

Again!

Po
[training with Tigress on the boat]

So, um, this punching ironwood trees, how long did you have to do that?

Tigress

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?

Tigress

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.

Tigress

Po, why are you really out here?

Po

I just found out that my dad... isn't really my dad.

Tigress

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!

Tigress

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.

Tigress

Po...

Po

I'm freaking in.

Tigress

Po!

Po

What?

Tigress

We're here. Gongmen city!

Tigress

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.

Tigress

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?

Tigress

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.

[slides out the barrel]

Sorry, Po. It's just me.

Tigress

Look! 'Gongmen Jail'!

Oh.. It's cute.

Cute? Huh?

Tigress

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..

Tigress

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.

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.

Tigress

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.

Tigress

The truth! Fine. They'll keep you far from danger.

Real far.

Po

What?

Tigress

You're staying here.

Po

Wa.. Wait! I have to go back..

Tigress

You're staying here!

Po

I'm going. And you can't stop me! Okay, I wasn't ready that time.

Guys, don't.

Tigress

Ready.

Po

Look!

Stay down.

Po

I have to get to him.

Tigress

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!

Tigress

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?

Tigress

Stop being a wimp.

And she's back.

Don't worry, kid. You're better off here.

Oh, you want to know so badly? You think knowing will heal you, eh? Fill some... crater in your soul? Well, here's your answer: your parents didn't love you, but here... let me heal you. [jumps back to reveal a cannon aimed at Po, and lights the fuse. Po raises a wok as a flimsy shield, and the cannon blasts him back and out of the factory]

Tigress

NO!

Why aren't we firing?!

They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!

[Shen sees Po marching at him]

Fire! FIRE AT THEM!

But, sir, we'll kill our own!

[shouting]

I SAID FIRE AT THEM! FIRE!

[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.

[last words before his death]

You're right. Then I choose this!

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]

Tigress
[appears and helps him up]

That... was pretty hardcore.

Tigress
[lividly to Shen for his actions]

You COWARD!

[looks at the bridge]

Lord Shen, what about the bridge?

Nothing stands in my way. FIRE!

Tigress
[The citizens barely manage to clear the bridge before it is completely obliterated. The cannon blasts the bridge. They dodge falling debris as they run. The Furious Five reacted to Shen's act.] [to Shen; enraged]

YOU COWARD!!
