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...?
Fortune?
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.
And anger.
Followed by denial.
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...
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.
It is not impossible, and he knows it.
Who?
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?
Yes, sir! [hurries away downstairs]
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?!
