Tai Lung Whatever I did...I did-to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are, Shifu! Tell me! Tell me!
Tai Lung You KNEW I was destined to be the Dragon Warrior! You even told me it, too. But, when Oogway said otherwise...what did you do? What did you do?! Nothing!
Tai Lung (When Shifu says it wasn't his fault Tai Lung wasn't chosen)
Not your fault?! Who filled my head with dreams?! Who drove me to train until my bones cracked?! Who denied me my DESTINY?!?
Tai Lung You can't defeat me! You're nothing but a big... fat... panda!
Tai Lung (While held under the Wuxi Finger Hold)
The Wuxi Finger Hold! You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that!
Tai Lung (To Zeng)
I'm glad Shifu sent you. I was beginning to think I'd been forgotten. Fly back there and tell them the real Dragon Warrior...is coming home.
Tai Lung The scroll has given him power! Nooo!
Tai Lung Shifu taught you well. [strikes Monkey with his nerve strike, paralyzing him] But he didn't teach me everything.

6 scenes Tai Lung What are you going to do, big guy? Sit on me?
Don't tempt me. [Laughs] Now, I'm gonna use this. [Holds up the Dragon Scroll] You want it? Come get it.
Tai Lung You're just a big... fat... panda! (Po grabs his finger)
I'm not a big fat panda. I'm THE big fat panda.
Tai Lung The Wuxi finger hold!
Oh, you know this hold?
Tai Lung You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that!
Nope. I figured it out. (Po then flexes his pinky finger) Skadoosh!
Tai Lung (leaning on the bridge): Where's the Dragon Warrior?
How do you know you're not looking at her? (Tai Lung laughs)
Tai Lung You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you. (the Furious Five) I heard how he fell out of the sky on a ball of fire. That he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen.
Po?
Tai Lung So that is his name. Po. Finally! A worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
[At Chorh-Gom Prison, Tai Lung is using the feather he picked up with his tail to unlock the shell holding him down. His ears start perking up, too. The dragon heads start loosening as the shell is unlocked. Tai Lung starts breathing, and his claws come out. The dragon heads of the shell come off, and the shell loosens, before Tai-lung breaks free from the shell and destroys it, alerting General Vachir, Zeng and everyone else in the prison]
General Vachir OH, NO!!!
Zeng WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!?! [looks down at the scene below, and gasps in horror upon seeing Tai Lung trying to break himself free from his restraints]
Chorh-Gom Prison Commanders
To your battle stations! Go! Go! Go!
General Vachir [Tai Lung stands up and roars at Vachir, making Zeng shiver in horror] [to his men]
Fire, crossbows!
Crossbow Soldier 1
[fires an arrow at Tai-Lung]
Fire at will!
Crossbow Soldier 2
[Tai Lung dodges the arrows fired by the crossbow soldiers by moving left to right, then glares at another guard]
Fire! [fires at Tai Lung, only for the snow leopard to not only dodge it, but also makes it break off the restraint on his right hand]
Zeng [The Soldiers look on in horror at what he just did. Tai Lung then breaks off the restraint on his left hand with a grunt, and he is now completely free]
TAI LUNG IS FREE!!! I MUST WARN SHIFU!!! [goes to warn Shifu]
General Vachir [grabs Zeng by the neck]
You're not going anywhere, neither is he!
Zeng Let go of me!
General Vachir [to his guards]
Bring it up!
Soldier
[The guards bring up a small platform]
Wait! Bring it back!
Zeng [Soldiers try to jump up to the platform, but miss. Meanwhile, Tai Lung notices another crossbow firing another arrow at him. He deflects it with his right paw, then kicks it back towards the guards, who dodge it. He then flings four more arrows into the wall, then cracks his neck and launches himself using the sixth arrow and begins his escape from prison] [scared]
HE'S COMING THIS WAY!!!
General Vachir [angrily]
He won't get far. [to his troops] ARCHERS!!!!
[The Soldiers fire arrows at Tai Lung, who launches himself from the last arrow, grabbing onto the platform's underside just before the arrows cover the top layer. One of the guards with an axe slices through the chain to prevent Tai Lung from advancing further, causing the platform to crash into the ground below. The two axe-wielding guards laugh and exchange a celebratory high-five, thinking they have stopped Tai Lung. However, they are quickly knocked out by the snow leopard. Tai Lung uses a chain to swing himself onto another bridge, where he battles more guards. With a heavy punch, he destroys one guard's weapon, sending him flying backwards into other guards, who then tumble into the darkness below. He continues to fight his way out of prison, but two guards attempt to lock him out. He breaks down the door, knocking both guards out in the process, and takes out another two, leaving them dizzy. He then steals a spike-ball weapon from one guard and knocks him out. Using the stolen weapon, he attacks three more guards before shoving it into a fourth guard's mouth, sending him flying. The guard crashes into another, who lets out a Wilhelm scream as they both fall into the dark chasm below. Eventually, Tai Lung reaches the entrance of the prison, where General Vachir and the remaining guards block his way, readying their weapons. General Vachir and Tai Lung growl at each other, filled with deep hatred, while Zeng squawks in fear. Tai Lung prepares himself to take on General Vachir and the remaining guards.]
Zeng We're dead. So very, very dead.
General Vachir [laughs]
Not yet, we're not! [to another soldier] NOW!!!!
[The soldier fires a fire arrow at a bomb, causing a chain reaction of three explosions. Tai Lung looks up and sees pillars falling towards him, then they make contact with the bridge, causing it to crumble. Tai Lung makes his way towards the entrance by dodging the falling pillars and makes a giant leap towards Vachir and the others, but misses his mark and lands on a falling pillar. Vachir laughs and waves at Tai-Lung, tauntingly. Tai Lung then sees one bomb that hasn't exploded yet and climbs his way towards it. In slow motion, he climbs up a giant pillar and jumps onto the last pillar. In regular speed, he climbs up and grabs the bomb and dives down towards Vachir and the others, the former of whom realizes there is nothing he and the other Soldiers and guards can do to stop him now]
Zeng [terrified]
Can we run now?!
General Vachir [terrified]
Yes! FALL BACK! FALL BACK!
[But it is way too late. Tai Lung throws the bomb at Vachir, Zeng and the other guards and soldiers and the bomb explodes, destroying the door and blocking everyone flying out of Chorh-Gom Prison, knocking them all out, except Zeng. Vachir's golden nose lands next to him, but it is unknown if he was killed or was badly injured from the blast. Tai Lung then grabs Zeng by his neck and lifts him up, who gulps in fear while looking at the snow leopard, the latter of whom having successfully broken out of Chorh-Gom Prison]
Tai Lung [sighs and rubs Zeng's forehead]
I'm glad Shifu sent you. I was beginning to think I'd been forgotten. Fly back there and tell them the real Dragon Warrior has returned. [Zeng nods at him, and Tai Lung releases him. Zeng then flies back to the Jade Palace]
Tai Lung Finally! Oh, yes. The power of the Dragon Scroll...is NO MATCH FOR ME! [opens the Dragon Scroll, but finds nothing but a golden reflection] IT'S NOTHING!
Tai Lung [angrily]
WHAT?!
There is no secret ingredient. [Tai Lung throws the Dragon Scroll to the ground in frustration] It's just you. [looks down at the golden reflection and smiles]
[Tai Lung starts seething and snarling in fury, realizing over all the work he did for nothing, and strikes his nerve attack at Po in the chest, making him fall to the ground, and starts laughing, feeling like he's being tickled]
