Mushu
It seems like only last month, you and I were saving China!
Fa Mulan
It was last month.
Mushu
How time flies. Ya know, baby, this must be a magical moment for you.
Fa Mulan
It's not every day I get engaged.
Mushu
No, I meant telling ME you're engaged. [Cri-Kee chirps] I'm the guy that gave you and Pretty Boy the hookup. Am I a guardian or am I a guardian?
Fa Mulan
Oh, You're more than that, Mushu. [hugs him] You're my most trusted friend.
Mushu
[starting to cry]
Oh, that did it!
General Li Shang
[General Li Shang rubbing the back of his head and peeking his head in Fa Mulan's room]
Mulan? Seems your grandma invited someone to help us celebrate the engagement.
Fa Mulan
[making a face]
Really?...Who?
General Li Shang
[both looking outside at a whole crowd of people in Fa Mulan's front yard]
China.
Crowd
CONGRATULATIONS! [cheers and applause]
Grandmother Fa
Isn't it wonderful? Sorry, it's sort of slapdash. Took us by surprise, you know. [Fa Mulan and General Li Shang laugh] Make way for the happy couple.
General Li Shang
[They bows to them]
Now this is a battlefield.
Mulan
What's our strategy, General?
General Li Shang
Divide and conquer.
[They both start to laugh again]
Woman in Crowd 1
[after the people of China who being asked them who would if their wedding is going to be big celebration]
So tell me, will it be a big wedding?
Fa Mulan
Absolutely!
General Li Shang
Oh ho, no! Absolutely not.
Woman in Crowd 2
Children?
General Li Shang
As many as possible.
Fa Mulan
Maybe one or two.
General Li Shang
We'll think about it.
Fa Mulan
Right away.
General Li Shang
Blue.
Fa Mulan
Pink!
General Li Shang
Mild.
Fa Mulan
Spicy!
General Li Shang
Yes!
Fa Mulan
No!
Fa Li
Oh, dear. Did you hear that?
Fa Zhou
Not exactly a harmonious couple, are they?
Fa Li
What should we do?
Fa Zhou
Perhaps we should give our gift to the children now.
General Li Shang
[to the Emperor]
This mission does not call for force, but finesse. I know just the men.
Fa Mulan
China's most honored and noble soldiers.
Matchmaker
[In the next shot, Ling, Chien-Po, and Yao, stumble clumsily out the front steps of the Matchmaker's house]
AND STAY OUT! I've found wives for HUNDREDS of men, but the Golden Dragon of Unity himself COULDN'T make love matches for YOU three! COME BACK WHEN YOU GET PERSONALITIES!
Ling
Well, that's a fine way to treat China's greatest heroes. [Matchmaker throws the pot on his face]
Fa Mulan
Well, then, maybe we should just forget the map and wing it.
General Li Shang
We can't wing it. We need a new plan. We have three days. What if we get lost?
Fa Mulan
Then we pull over and ask directions.
General Li Shang
We don't need to pull over and ask directions. We have a map.
Fa Mulan
What is it with men and asking directions?
General Li Shang
What is it with women and maps?!
Fa Mulan
Shang, I'm sorry. You're in charge of the mission.
General Li Shang
No, I'm the one who should be sorry. A good leader is opened up to new ideas. Forgive me?
Fa Mulan
[takes his hand and smiles]
Ah, there's nothing to forgive.
Mushu
[doing a perfect voice imitation of Fa Mulan on a dummy outside General Li Shang's tent]
General Shang? General Hardhead, that's what they should call him! Everything's got to have a strategy!
General Li Shang
[barely awake]
Mulan?
Mushu
[still sounding like Fa Mulan]
The man won't brush his teeth without a backup plan!
General Li Shang
[awakening slightly]
Huh?
Mushu
[still imitating]
I blame myself. I fell for those broad shoulders. I didn't realize there wasn't much sittin' on top of 'em! [the dummy's head falls off accidently, then he gasps as he places it back on] Oh, except for that garlic breath... [no longer imitating] Ooh-whee! That boy can peel paint! Oops. [covers his mouth]
General Li Shang
[gasps and covers his mouth, then angrily steps out of his tent to find Fa Mulan]
THAT'S ENOUGH! Where is she?
Mushu
[chuckles]
I am good!
General Li Shang
[angrily storming over to Mulan]
MULAN!
Fa Mulan
Why hello, General. Out on night maneuvers?
General Li Shang
General Hardhead? [makes a silly yet glaring face] Brushing my teeth?
Fa Mulan
[curious]
Um, is something wrong?
General Li Shang
[angrily scolding Mulan]
I heard you, Mulan. Every word. [covers his mouth]
Fa Mulan
[confused]
Every word of what?
General Li Shang
Don't play coy, I saw you outside my tent.
Fa Mulan
What? I haven't left my post.
General Li Shang
And I suppose you weren't gossiping about me with the princesses?
Fa Mulan
Shang, did that dip in the river get you water-logged? And - why are you talking with your hand over your mouth?
General Li Shang
I wouldn't want to PEEL your PAINT! [angrily storms off while Mulan looks on, shocked]
Yao
[watching General Li Shang angrily leave]
Changing of the guard.
General Li Shang
[furiously stops and angrily turns back to Mulan]
And next time, DON'T LEAVE YOUR POST! [angrily storms off again]
Fa Mulan
Hmph!
Yao
What's with him? [Fa Mulan angrily growls and leaves in frustration] What's with her? Who'm I talkin' to?
Mushu
Mulan, what do you say to a little pick-me-up?
Fa Mulan
My father said, "Differences can make you stronger." He didn't realize that Shang and I are just too different. [stops Khan in slowly]
Mushu
Well, you know, you've always got me. The old team, right?
Fa Mulan
Aw, you're always looking out for me, Mushu.
Mushu
[laughs nervously]
Just doing the best I can.
Fa Mulan
Really, I just don't know what I'd do without you. You're the best friend I've ever had.
Mushu
[chattering and gaspes]
AAAAH!!!! Oh, I can't stand it no more! The only thing wrong with you and Shang...is me! I'm the one that got between you!
Fa Mulan
[confused]
What are you talking about? It's not like you made the carriage go into the river.
Mushu
Now, that was an accident. Following several attempts at "on purpose".
Fa Mulan
[slowly realizing]
And it wasn't YOU outside Shang's tent.
Mushu
[gulps]
He he, you know how I gab?
Fa Mulan
And you woke him up after I left?!
Mushu
It wasn't easy, neither that man can sleep.
Fa Mulan
[angrily]
Mushu, what did you do?!
Mushu
Well, I was banging pots and pans...
Fa Mulan
[losing control of her rage and yelling at Mushu]
NO! What did YOU do?!
Mushu
[chattering]
YOU WAS GETTING MARRIED! Everything was gonna change! I was gonna lose you and my pedestal!
Fa Mulan
You mean you got between Shang and me so you could keep your job?!
Mushu
I'm sorry!
Fa Mulan
What you did was unforgivable!
Mushu
But you and Shang are so different!
Fa Mulan
[with sudden realization]
Wait a second! Not as different as I thought! Of all those problems, they weren't us. They were you! [Mushu's annoyed] Oh, I've got to talk to Shang. Tell him I love him. [catching with Khan in speed]
Mushu
Mulan, I'll make it up to you! I promise!
Fa Mulan
Forget it. You've helped enough. [puts Mushu back in her bag] Shang! Shang! [but the bandits appear in front of the group] It's an ambush!
Fa Mulan
Shang, hang on!
General Li Shang
It will hold us both.
Fa Mulan
It will. It will, Shang.
General Li Shang
Mulan... I'm sorry.
Fa Mulan
[weeps quietly]
Please! Shang...! SHANG!!!!! [Li Shang lets Mulan go and falls into the river]
Ting Ting
Fa Mulan, we're ready to go through with the wedding.
Fa Mulan
No. Your orders are to take care of each other.
Chen Po
But...
Fa Mulan
Losing Shang will not be meaningless. No matter what it takes... [open her eyes, determined] I'm finishing this mission.
