MP 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!
P Mr. Ping
How about some tofu birthday cake, instead?
MP Mother Pig
You know what... we'll try again some other time. When do you think he'll be back?
P 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.
P 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?
P 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!"
Hey, that's a pretty good deal.
P Mr. Ping
Would you like to try one?
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.
(Yeah… and)
I know who I am.
P Mr. Ping
[barely speaking]
You do?
I'm your son. [The two embrace] I love you, dad.
P Mr. Ping
I love you too, son.
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.]
Whoa... how did you do that?
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.
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...
...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.
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
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.
[laughs]
Snack stops! [then] Wait, you serious?
Momma? Mom? Dad? Is that you? Mom, Dad!
DP Dad Panda
Oh.. Hi! Hey-Hey.. Son, you are back.
MP Mom Panda
Huh? Honey, what you doing here?
MP Mom Panda
We replaced you, dear, with this lovely radish.
DP Dad Panda
It's quiet, polite, and frankly.. It does better kung fu.
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.
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.
[training with Tigress on the boat]
So, um, this punching ironwood trees, how long did you have to do that?
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, why are you really out here?
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?
Are you kidding me? We're warriors, right? Nerves of steel, souls of Platinum. Like you. So hard core, you don't feel anything!
So, what you guys talking about?
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.
We're here. Gongmen city!
[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.
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.
[under his breath]
No, you shall see, old goat. [aloud, to the Council] Where were we?
MR Master Rhino
What do you want, Shen?
What is rightfully mine... Gongmen City!
MR Master Rhino
Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Masters' Council and we will protect it, even from you.
[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]
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!
[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.
MR Master Rhino
That is a warning. You are no match for our Kung Fu.
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.]
[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!
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?
[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.
[chuckles]
Why on Earth would I do that?
So your parents can rest in peace.
[bitterly]
My parents... hated me. Do you understand? They-- they wronged me. And... I will make it right.
[sadly]
They loved you. They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them.
[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.
[heartbroken]
Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness.
Happiness... must be taken. And I will take mine.
[The gorilla guard leads the Soothsayer out]
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.
Get the wolves ready. We're loading the ships now. NOW!!! NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW!
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.
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...?
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.
[She plucks out one of his feathers.]
OW!
[She chews on the hem of his robe.]
How dare you! This is the finest silk in the province!
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...
[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 throws a dagger, shattering the dish.] [laughs]
That's impossible, and you know it.
It is not impossible, and he knows it.
[running in]
Lord Shen! I saw a panda!
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...
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?
[to the Wolf Boss, angrily]
Find this panda, and bring him to me! (pushes him away)
Yes, sir! [hurries away downstairs]
[chuckles]
So, one panda lives. That does not make you right!
You're right. Being right makes me right.
Then I will kill him, and make you wrong! [turns and sees her chewing the hem of his robe again] WILL YOU STOP THAT?!
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?
[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!
See, that's the thing, Shen. Scars heal.
No, they don't. Wounds heal.
Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade, I guess?
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.
[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]
[appears and helps him up]
That... was pretty hardcore.
[to Po and the Furious Five, reading from a scroll]
Are you familiar with the master of Gongmen City?
Son of the legendary Flying Rhino?
[hands Po the scroll]
Yes.
And the slayer of the 10,000 serpents in the Valley of Woe?
[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.
And now, you must save it! [points out with his staff] Go! Destroy this weapon and bring Lord Shen to justice!
[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.
That must be Shen's palace, in the other side of the city.
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?
We need to get to that to tower, without being spotted by those wolves.
Got it.. Stealth Mode! That noodles! Ow! Hello! Yeah, okay.. Anyway. Where was I?
How can we lose a guy that big?
So, that was Stealth Mode, Huh?
To be honest, not one of my stronger modes.
S Sheep
You stole of my metal pots for Lord Shen!
Either you cook my rice, or I cook you!
How am I supposed to help her cook rice without getting caught? Wait.. I have a better idea!
We're here to liberate the city, and bring Shen to justice.
S Sheep
You will need help!
Thank you brave sheep, but it's too dangerous.. I can't let you.
S Sheep
Oh.. No, not me. It's not safe to speak here.
S Sheep
I'm talking about, Masters Ox and Croc! They are in Gongmen Jail, at Black Dragon alley.
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.
Now! Got you! Split up! Search everywhere!
Is 'there' a part of everywhere?
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.
At the first sight of trouble, I'll give you a signal. Ka-kaw! Kee-kee!
You mean like Crane does?
Excuse me! When have I ever made that noise?
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
It's time to surrender, panda. Kung Fu is dead!
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.
We'll take on Shen and prove to all those who hunger for justice and honor that Kung Fu still lives.
