Scenes with Master Shifu

3 scenes
Master Shifu
[Po and Shifu are racing each other up the palace stairs]

Are you ready?

Po

Ready's my middle name!

Po
[Po speeds off ahead, and beats Shifu to their destination: the entrance doors to the Training Hall's courtyard. Po and Shifu put their backs to the door. Po pauses to catch his breath]

So what have we got? A gang of terrible rhinos? Crocs? Rabid wolves? Let's do it!

Master Shifu

Be warned: This may be the toughest challenge you will ever have to face.

Po
[Po chuckles in anticipation. Then he blasts into the courtyard with a flying kick]

Get ready to feel the THUNDA... eh?

Master Shifu
[Instead of rabid wolves, the courtyard is full of rambunctious little rabbit children. Shifu follows Po inside]

Introduction to kung fu class.

Po
[Po watches several children beating up a training dummy, which has been redesigned to look like Po. The real Po winces as one of the children delivers a flying kick to the dummy's head]

Can I use the Wuxi Finger Hold on them?

Master Shifu
[pause]

I'd try not to. Remember Po, each generation teaches the next one, and so the art of kung fu lives on; in you, and now in these... [A rabbit flies past them and crashes off-screen] uh... delightful children. [Shifu speeds outside]

Po

What?

Master Shifu

Good luck. [slams the doors shut, trapping Po inside]

Po
[Not expecting this challenge at all, Po rushes to the door and sees Shifu walking away through a crack]

Wait a second! Master Shifu! Master Shi- come on! Auugh. [gulps and slowly approaches the students] Okay, if you'll just take a seat... er, hello? [The rabbits continue to play-fight] Hey, settle down now... [no response] Okay, er...
[Po spots a nearby gong and strikes it with a flying kick, getting the students' attention at last]

Po

Get those cotton tails on the floor!

Rabbit Children

The Dragon Warrior!

Po
[The students rush over and sit on the floor in front of Po]

Thank you...

Rabbit Children

The Dragon Warrior! [rush over and sit on the floor in front of Po]

Po

Thank you.

Rabbit 1

Are we gonna learn the cool kung fu moves?

Po

Yes. [The students cheer.]

Rabbit 1

Now we're really gonna start kicking butt!

Po

Hey, hey, hold on. Kicking butt is just a small part of kung fu. It's awesome, but it's small.

Rabbit Children

Huh?

Po

Kung fu means "Excellence of Self"; being the best you can be. That's what it's about, bunnies!

Rabbit 2
[A shy young rabbit walks up and taps Po on the leg.]

I wanna learn "Tigress Style"...

Rabbit 1
[groans]

Aren't we going to fight?

Rabbit 3

Yeah, like the Furious Five!

Po

The Furious Five, huh? They are cool, aren't they? But it wasn't fighting that made them amazing. No. They each had to learn the secrets of kung fu before they became excellent.

Rabbit 1

Secrets? What secrets?

Po

Oh, I shouldn't really say. That's why it's a secret. It's top secret.

Rabbit Children

Pleeeeaaase tell us. Tell us, pleeeeeeaaaaase...

Po

Aww... Okay. but don't tell anyone I told you, because I'll deny it- I'll be like, "What? I didn't tell them anything." Alright...

Master Shifu
[On the outside within the Training Hall's courtyard are the sounds of Po and Master Shifu bickering.]

What did you say? Don't act so arrogant! You pickin' a fight with me?!

Po

Arrogant!? I've been working here longer than you have! And then you come in acting all bossy!

Master Shifu
[They glare and growl at each other, even as they leave the main hall.] [last lines]

I'd beat you to a pulp!

Po
[last lines]

I'm the one who'd beat you to a pulp!
