Please, sir, my father has already fought bravely, and...

Mulan, you dishonor me.

Mulan...
Please, sir, my father has already fought bravely, and...
Silence! You would do well to teach your daughter to hold her tongue in a man's presence.
Mulan, you dishonor me.
I don't need anyone causing trouble in my camp.
Sorry. [ in manly voice] Uh, I mean, uh, sorry you had to see that, but you know how it is, when you get those manly urges! And you just got to kill something! Hm... Fix things, cook outdoors--
What's your name?
Uh... I, uh... I...
Your commanding officer just asked you a question!
Uh, I've got a name. Ha! And it's a boy's name, too.
I didn't ask for his name, I asked for yours.
Try, uh, uh, ah, Chu.
Ah Chu.
Ah Chu?
Gesundheit. Ha, ha. I kill myself.
Mushu!
Mushu?
No!
Then what is it!
Ping! Ping was my best friend growin' up.
It's Ping.
Ping?

Let me see your conscription notice. Fa Zhou... the Fa Zhou?

Uh, he doesn't talk about me much. [Attempts to spit, but it ends up dangling from her mouth.]
I can see why. The boy's an absolute lunatic!
Order! People, order!
I'd like a pan-fried noodle!
Ooh, ooh. Sweet and pungent shrimp.
Moo goo gai pan!
That's not funny.
Looks like our new friend slept in this morning. Why, hello, Ping. Are ya hungry?
Yeah, 'cause I owe you a knuckle sandwich.
So it's true! I knew there was something wrong with you! A woman! Treacherous snake!
My name is Mulan. I did it to save my father.
High treason!
I didn't mean for it to go this far.
Ultimate dishonor!
WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!! LIGHT THE SIGNAL!! [runs to the tower and up the ladder as Hun Bald Man #1 and Hun Long Hair Man appear trying to stop him. Hun Bald Man #1 breaks the ladder with his sword just as Guard reaches the top. The guard picks up the torch to light the fire and sees Shan-Yu jump over the edge of the tower and looks at him across from the caldron. The guard throws the torch into the caldron lighting a large fire. Shan-Yu watches as each tower lights their caldrons one by one] Now all of China knows you're here.
Perfect.
Your Majesty, the Huns have crossed our Northern Border.
Impossible. No one can get through the Great Wall.
Shan Yu is leading them. We'll set up defenses around your palace immediately.
No. Send your troops to protect my people. Chi-Fu.
Yes, Your Highness?
Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces. Call up reserves and as many new recruits as possible.
Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him.
I won't take any chances, General, a single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.
Look at me / I will never pass for a perfect bride / Or a perfect daughter / Can it be / I'm not meant to play this part? / Now I see / That if I were to truly / To be myself / I would break my family's heart...| Who is that girl I see / Staring straight / Back at me? / Why is my reflection someone / I don't know? / Somehow I cannot hide / Who I am / Though I've tried / When will my reflection show / Who I am inside? / When will my reflection show / Who I am inside? [song fades, Mulan sits on the bench under the blossom tree. Fa Zhou approaches and clears throat. Mulan sees him approaching and turns around. Fa Zhou sits down beside Mulan]
My, my, what beautiful blossoms we have this year. [looking up into the blossom tree] But look, this one's late. But, I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all. [Mulan and Fa Zhou share smiles. Drums start pounding announcing the arrival of Chi Fu and 2 guards on horseback]
What is it? [Fa Zhou gets up and walks to the entrance of their house with Mulan following]
Mulan, stay inside. [Grandmother Fa clears her throat catched Mulan's attention with Mulan spies the railing near the wall and climbs up to watch over the roof]
