What do you mean he's not here?! It's my son's birthday! All he wanted was to meet the Dragon Warrior!
How about some tofu birthday cake, instead?
You know what... we'll try again some other time. When do you think he'll be back?
[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.
[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?
Yep.
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.
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.
You did?
[barely speaking]
You do?
I'm your son. [The two embrace] I love you, dad.
I love you too, son.
