Don't even think about it.
Shen My father's throne. He used to let me play here at his side, promising one day, this throne would be mine. [throws his father's throne out the window]
Shen Greetings, panda. We meet at last.
Shen [threatningly pointing his blade at Po]
The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing.
Shen [To his gorilla army]
Bring it down!
Shen [as the tower starts to collapse]
Goodbye!
[Soothsayer: Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness]
Happiness must be taken, and I will take mine.
Shen [referring to Po]
How many times do I have to kill the same stinking panda?!
Shen [to Po, then to his wolf army]
As you wish. Let's finish this.
Shen [last words before his death]
You're right. Then I choose this!
Scenes with Shen
13 scenes Shen [enters the courtyard of his family palace]
Good afternoon, gentlemen! Now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, please leave my house.
Your house?
Shen Yes, didn't you see the peacock on the front door? [spots the Soothsayer] Ah, there you are, Soothsayer. It seems your fortune-telling skills are not as good as you thought.
We shall see, Shen.
Shen [under his breath]
No, you shall see, old goat. [aloud, to the Council] Where were we?
Master Rhino
What do you want, Shen?
Shen What is rightfully mine... Gongmen City!
Master Rhino
Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Masters' Council and we will protect it, even from you.
Shen [laughs]
I'm so glad you feel that way! Otherwise, I'd have dragged that here for nothing. [indicating his wolf army dragging a rather large box on a cart]
What's in the box, Shen?
Shen You want to see? It's a gift. It's your parting gift, in that it'll part you; part of you here, part of you there, and part of you way over there, staining the wall!
You insolent fool!
Shen [Ox attacks, but is quickly brought down; Croc moves in, deflecting Shen's fan of blades. Finally, Rhino pushes Shen back with his hammer, knocking several of his fan blades away.] [sneering]
Show-off.
Master Rhino
That is a warning. You are no match for our Kung Fu.
Shen I agree. [grins wickedly] But this is! [flips backwards onto the box, revealing a massive cannon. Rhino takes a defensive stance... as Shen fires it.]
Shen My father's throne. He used to let me play here, beside him. Promising with someday this throne would be mine. A little to the left.
But it's so heavy, Master.
Shen Every thing must be exactly how I envisioned it, and I envisioned it a little to the left. Perfect! With the weapon, by my si.. A little bit more. With the weapon, by my side, all China will bow before me! We move out in 3 days, when the moon is full and the tide is high. Well, Soothsayer, why don't you tell me my...?
Fortune?
Shen Future. I was going to say future. Look into your bowl and tell me what glory awaits.
[peers into her bowl]
If you continue on your current path, you will find yourself... at the bottom of the stairs.
[Shen looks down and is annoyed to see he has indeed reached the bottom of the stairs leading to his throne.] [still looking]
I see... I see... [Shen comes closer] I see... pain.
Shen [She plucks out one of his feathers.]
OW!
And anger.
Shen [She chews on the hem of his robe.]
How dare you! This is the finest silk in the province!
Followed by denial.
Shen This is not fortune-telling! You're just saying what's happening right...!
Now? The most important time is now. But if you really want to see the future...
Shen What do you see?
[The Soothsayer burns a powder in a dish, creating a vision in swirling smoke.]
A peacock... is defeated by a warrior, of black and white. Nothing has changed.
Shen [Shen throws a dagger, shattering the dish.] [laughs]
That's impossible, and you know it.
It is not impossible, and he knows it.
Shen Who?
Shen A panda!? [knocks him to the ground, gripping him by the throat]
[nervously]
A Kung Fu warrior. He fought like a demon! Big and furry, soft and squishy... uh, kinda plush and cuddly...
Shen There are no more pandas.
[taps the Boss's missing eye]
Even with his poor eyesight, he can see the truth. Why is it that you cannot?
Shen [to the Wolf Boss, angrily]
Find this panda, and bring him to me! (pushes him away)
Yes, sir! [hurries away downstairs]
Shen [chuckles]
So, one panda lives. That does not make you right!
You're right. Being right makes me right.
Shen Then I will kill him, and make you wrong! [turns and sees her chewing the hem of his robe again] WILL YOU STOP THAT?!
Shen Greetings, panda. At last we meet. No. No, no, no.. We meet at last! Yes! That's it! Greetings, panda. We meet at..
You are afraid for a reason.
Shen I'm not afraid. He's coming to me in chains. If anyone should be afraid it's--
You! [moves to Shen's robes]
Shen Don't even think about it.
[after Shen shows off his Feathers, causing Po to have another vision about the Massacre of the Pandas]
You-- you were there.
Shen Yes. Yes, I was. [escapes]
Shen Call in the wolves! All of them! I want them ready to move! The Year of the Peacock begins now!
Right now? 'Cause, it's the middle of the year, so you'd only get like, uh, half the Year of the Peacock. [Shen glares furiously at the Wolf Boss and points one of his blades at him] And this is the Year, of course, of the Peacock. Happy New Year, sir.
Shen Get the wolves ready. We're loading the ships now. NOW!!! NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW!
Shen [triumphantly]
You were wrong, Soothsayer! [wields sword] We sail to victory tonight. Your magic panda is clearly a fool!
[angrily]
Are you certain it is the panda that is a fool?! You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!
Shen A trivial sacrifice... [sticks the sword's tip into a nearby fire, then pokes the burning tip to a map of China, which bursts into a spreading flame] when all of China is my reward.
Then will you finally be satisfied? Will the subjugation of the whole world finally make you feel better?
Shen [sneers]
It's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon.
[Her anger spent, Soothsayer approaches the peacock, who is standing at the balcony with his back to her.]
The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.
Shen [chuckles]
Why on Earth would I do that?
So your parents can rest in peace.
Shen [bitterly]
My parents... hated me. Do you understand? They-- they wronged me. And... I will make it right.
Shen [pause]
The dead exist in the past. And I must tend to the future. [to his gorilla guard] Set the Soothsayer free. She is of no use to me.
Shen Happiness... must be taken. And I will take mine.
[The gorilla guard leads the Soothsayer out]
Shen 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]
NO!
[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!
Shen WHAT?! [Cut back to Po]
Prepare yourself for a hot serving of– [Cut back to Shen; faintly] ...Justice! Your reign of terror comes to an end!
Shen [still not hearing]
What...?
Shen Why aren't we firing?!
They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!
Shen [Shen sees Po marching at him]
Fire! FIRE AT THEM!
But, sir, we'll kill our own!
Shen [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 [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?
Shen Not that! How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything! I-I-- I scarred you for life!
See, that's the thing, Shen. Scars heal.
Shen No, they don't. Wounds heal.
Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade, I guess?
Shen I don't (know or) care what scars do.
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.
Shen [last words before his death]
You're right. Then I choose this!
[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]
Shen Fire. [?; to Wolf Boss] Well, lighten...thing! [Wolf Boss: Uhhhh, did.]
It's almost done, Lord Shen. But we're running out of metal.
Shen [behind the smoke]
Search for the farthest villages! Find more metal! China will be mine.
Shen [As Po is in the Fireworks Factory to face Shen for revenge.] [off-screen]
Greetings, panda!
[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!
Shen [mockingly]
What night?
That night!
Shen Ahh. That night.
Yes! [falters] We're talking about the same night, right?
Shen 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]
Shen Nothing stands in my way. FIRE!
[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!!
