Po
[leaps into a fight]

Enemies of justice, prepare for... [sees he's leapt too far and is going over them] Are you kidding me? [crashes]

Po

Never underestimate the impact of a dramatic entrance!

Po
[seeing Master Flying Rhino's battle armor]

I think I just peed a little!

Po

Chit-chat. Chitty-chitty-chat-chat-chat-chat-chat. Chit-chat.

Po

What's the occasion?

Today, will be my final class.

Po

Your final? I didn't know you were sick. Although, you have been looking a little--

[pushes him away with his staff; sighs]

I'm not sick.

Po

Healthy. A little healthy. A lot actually.

[facepalms]

My final class, because from now on, your training will be in the hands of the Dragon Warrior. [points his staff at Po]

Po
[nods and smiles for a second, then reacts in realization of shock; voice booming]

WHAT?! [almost knocks Shifu back with his strong lungs] Me, teach? I mean, why not Tigress? She's always telling everyone what to do.

Be quiet, Po.

Po

See what I mean?

Tigress is not the Dragon Warrior. You are.

Po

Come on, they're the Five! What can I teach them?

Viper
[The Furious Five are battered and burned in the training hall after Po failed to teach them properly by winding up his words] [weakly]

Good job, Po.

Po
[meekly]

Did you at least learn a little something?

[annoyed]

Yes. [puts out a fire in her ear] That you can't teach.

Crane

And Tigress is flammable, turns out.

Po

Who are you?

[muffling]

I'm Li Shan.

Po

What?

Li
[swallows]

I'm Li Shan, and I'm looking for my son.

Po
[Everybody gasps]

You lost your son?

Li

Yes. Many years ago.

Po

I lost my father.

Li

I'm very sorry.

Po

Thank you. [pause]

Li

Well, good luck to you.

Po

You too. I hope you find your son.

Li

And I hope you find your father. [they both walk off, everyone face palms, but they stopped with realization] Son? Oh, my gosh, it is you! Well, don't just stand there. Give your old man a hug!

Po
[hugs his real dad]

I can't believe you're alive!
[The crowd cheers. Mr. Ping is in bewildered shock.]

Po

I recognize these guys! The Master Badger Twins, with their Crushing Double-Gong technique! [The jade Badger Twins bash him with their technique] Ow! Yeah, that's the one! And that guys is… [gasps] No! Master Porcupine!

[deflects a firing quill back at him]

I thought he died a hundred years ago.

Po

These guys are legend!

[Tigress shows up at the Panda Village]

Who's she?

Lei Lei
[gasps and runs to Tigress and hugs her]

Big stripy baby!

Po

What are you doing here?

Kai attacked the Valley. He's taken every master in China, including Shifu and the others. It's all gone, Po. Everything. Everyone.

Po

Everyone?

Everyone.

[concerned]

How's my restaurant? [some pandas look at him, confused] We'll talk later.

And now he's on his way here. [to Po] He's after you, Po. He's after all pandas.
[All the pandas gasp in horror, fearing that Kai is coming for them]

Po
[When Po is warned by Tigress that Kai is coming to the Panda Village, he walks up to his father]

[walks up to his fatherYou need to teach me the secret chi technique now!

Li

No, no. I'm afraid you need more time. [to the pandas] Everyone, go get your things!

Po

I don't have more time! I need to learn it now!

Li

Sorry, you're not ready. [to the pandas] Pack everything!

Po

I am ready!

Li

Not quite.

Po
[follows him on the bridge]

What are you talking about? I've done everything you've asked. I've mastered napping, sleeping in, hammocks, hot tubs. I am totally at one with my panda parts! Now why won't you show me?!

Li
[giving in]

Because I don't know it!

Po
[shocked]

You...what?

Li

I don't know, okay, it's because nobody does that; maybe we used to, but...but not anymore.

Po

You lied?

Li

No, I...Yes.

Po

Why?

Li

To save your life! I point out that some blade-swinging maniacs are coming for you. What am I supposed to do? Just-Just let that happen?!

Po

Yes! I'm the Dragon Warrior, facing maniacs! That's my job, but because of you, I left the valley unprotected. I left my friends unprotected, and now they're all...they're all...

Li

And you would have been, too! I lost you once; I am not going to lose you again. I can't. [tries to take Po to his hut]

Po
[pulls his hand away from him, scorned]

You just did. [storms off]

This isn't going to work.

Po

It has to.

You're not thinking straight.

Po

I am!

[kicks his feet]

You're not.

Po

I am.

No.

Po

Yes, I am.

No, I've seen Kai. I see what he can do.

Po

But he hasn't seen what I can do. [does the Wuxi Finger Hold again, just like in the first film]

[confused]

The Wuxi Finger Hold?

Po

It's my best move. I just have to get to Kai, grab his finger, and then, skadoosh, back to the spirit realm.

[squeezes his hand]

He has an army of jade warriors. Everything they see, he sees. So, there's no sneaking up on him. [pushes him down] You'll never get close enough.

Po

It's gonna work. [gets up]

[puts him down again and puts her feet on him]

He can only be stopped by a master of chi.

Po
[gets up again; offended]

Oh, you sound just like Shifu with the "Chi, chi, chi." "Chi this. Chi that." "Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi!" I'm not a master of chi, okay? I don't know if I'm the Dragon Warrior. I don't even know if I'm a panda! I don't know who I am! You're right. There's no way I can stop him and his army.

Unless you had an army of your own.

Po

You?

Not just me.

[appearing behind him]

Us.

All of us. [all the other pandas appear] I finally found my son, after all these years. It's going to take a lot more than the end of the world to keep us apart.

Po

But you don't even know kung fu.

Then you will teach us.

Po

What? I can't teach you kung fu. I couldn't even teach Tigress. And she already knows kung fu!

Po, I know I'm the last guy you wanna trust right now. But you gotta believe me. We can do this. We can learn kung fu. We can be just like you!

[Po unrolls the jade scroll and gazes at the drawing of Oogway and Kai's battle, then sees Li Shan gazing at the drawing of the ancient panda masters using their chi to heal Oogway's wounds]

I wish I could have taught you this, son.

Po

It's okay, Dad. I'm...

[They, Tigress, Mr. Ping, and all the other panda villagers suddenly hear the sound of Kai's blades]

He's here.

Po
[Kai launches himself to the top of the ice wall with his blades] [amazed]

That's what I call a dramatic entrance!

Kai

You must be the Dragon Warrior.

Po

And you must be Kai - Beast of Vengeance, Maker of Widows.

Kai

Yes! Finally! Thank you! Almost makes me want to spare your life.

Po

Oh, you want to spare me? How about you spare me the chit-chat, alright? Let's do this.

Kai

I'm going to take your chi, then the chi of every panda in the-

Po

Augh! Chit-chat.

Kai

In the-

Po

Chitty-chitty-chat-chat, chat-chat-chat!

Kai

In the-

Po

Chit-chat!

Po
[being chased by jade zombie Shifu]

Oh, no! Master Shifu! I can't hit Shifu!

[Jade Zombie Shifu rams his head into a frying pan and gets knocked back]

I can!

And so can I!

Both

Double-Dad Defense!

Po
[Po prepares to use the Wuxi Finger Hold to send Kai back to the Spirit Realm]

Sorry, buddy. Gotta send you back to the Spirit Realm. Skadoosh! [flexes his pinkie, nothing happens] Okay...That didn't work; let me try one more time. Skadoosh! Skadoosh, skadoosh...! What the...?

Kai

Hold on, wait! It is working! No! No, no! No! No! Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no! No! [retches, then laughs] No, it's not. Did Oogway teach you that little trick? Too bad. It only works on mortals, and I...am a spirit warrior.

Kai

So, Oogway, this was the one destined to stop me? I will have his chi. And then all of theirs! [cuts of the panda villagers' escape with his blade; to Po] And you...You really thought you can send me back to the Spirit Realm? You are just a stupid mortal.

Po

It only works on mortals. You're right. I can't send you there. But I can take you there. [points out in the air] What's that? [Kai looks distractedly; then jumps on Kai and headlocks him with his arms]

Po!

Son!

Po
[looks at his family, Mr. Ping, and Tigress one last time; then...]

Skadoosh! [lowers his pinky, releasing a yellow shockwave]

Li Shan and Mr. Ping

SON!

Kai

NO!

[A yin-yang symbol made of flower petals appear where Po last stood after the shockwave]

What happened? Where's Po?

He took Kai away. He saved us.

No.

He saved us. But who's saving him?

Kai

Who are you?

Po

I've been asking the same question. [performs multiple stances by using his chi] Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? A student? A teacher? Turns out...I'm all of them. [forms a chi dragon avatar around him] I am the Dragon Warrior. Get it? See the giant dragon? [laughs] Get ready to feel the thunder! Whoa! This is awesome!

Po
[Po returns to the mortal world]

Dad. Dad. Dads!

Son! [both run to Po and hug him]

Don't you go disappearing in petals ever again.

We thought we lost you.

Po

No, you saved me. you all did. [looks at everybody and Big Fun laughs] Now, come on over here!

Big Fun
[Everyone runs to Po]

Hugs!

Po
[Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Viper, Mantis and the pandas hugs Po]

Master Shifu!

The student has truly become the tea- [notices the Staff of Wisdom in Po's hand] Wait. Where did you get that?

Po

Oh, this. Oogway gave it to me in the Spirit Realm.

[sighs]

Of course he did.

Po

I think I've mastered chi.

[sighs again, facepalms]

Of course you did. [looks at him hopefully] Can you teach me? [Po happily nods yes]
