    Po: [narrating] Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose kung-fu skills were the stuff of legend. He traveled the land in search of worthy foes. [gets confronted by a group of criminals] Bull criminal: I see you like to chew. Maybe you should chew...ON MY FIST! [slams his fist on the table] Po: [narrating] The warrior said nothing for his mouth was full. Then he swallowed... [does so] ...and then he spoke. [spoken] Enough talk, let's fight! SHA-BAA-BOOOEEEE! [kicks the criminals away; narrating] He was so deadly; in fact, his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness! Leopard Criminal: MY EYES! Crocodile Criminal: HE'S TOO AWESOME! Female Bunny: And attractive. Male Bunny: How can we repay you? Po: There's no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness. [the female bunny giggles] KABLOOEYY!

    Shifu: [to the Furious Five] Well done, students...if you were trying to disappoint me. [points his flute at the Five, all bowing respectfully as he mentions their name] Tigress, you need more ferocity! Monkey, greater speed! Crane, height! Viper, subtlety! Mantis...! Zeng: Master Shifu. Shifu: [points his flute at Zeng] What?! Zeng: It's Master Oogway. He wants to see you.

    Oogway: [to Shifu] I have had a vision: Tai Lung will return. Shifu: [imagines Tai Lung, in 2-D, breaking free] That is impossible! He is in prison!

    Shifu: But who? Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? To become...the Dragon Warrior? Oogway: [shrugs] I don't know.

    Po: [dazed from falling] Oh. What's going on? Where? [sees Oogway pointing his finger at him] What are you pointing...? Oh! Okay. Sorry, I just wanted to see who the Dragon Warrior was. Oogway: How interesting. Tigress: Master, are you pointing at me? Oogway: Him. Po: Who? [moves around as Oogway's finger follows him, still pointing at him] Oogway: You. Po: Me? Oogway: [lifts Po's arm up with his staff] The universe has brought us the Dragon Warrior! Po: [confused] What? Furious Five: [flabbergasted] What?! Shifu: [shocked] What?! Mr. Ping: [enters] WHAT?!
  • Dialogue

    Shifu: Master Oogway, wait! That flabby panda can't possibly be the answer to our problem. You were about to point at Tigress, and that thing fell in front of her! That was just an accident! Oogway: There are no accidents. [walks off] Tigress: Forgive us, Master. We've failed you. Shifu: [holds up his hand] No. If the panda has not quit by morning, then I will have failed you.

    Po: [as Shifu pinches his finger and lifts up his pinky] The Wuxi Finger Hold! Not the Wuxi Finger Hold! Shifu: Oh, you know this hold? Po: Developed by Master Wuxi in the Third Dynasty. Yes!

    Po: Uh, yeah. It's just...maybe we can find something more suited to my level... Shifu: And what level is that? Po: Well, you know, I'm not a master, but, uh, Let's just start at 0. Level 0. Shifu: Oh, no. There is no such thing as Level 0. Po: [spotted the training dummy] Hey! Maybe I can start on that! Shifu: That? We use that for training children, and for propping the door open when it's hot. But if you insist... Po: [sees and meets the Furious Five up close for the first time, watching him with curious expressions] Whoa! The Furious Five! You're so much bigger than your action figures. Except for you, Mantis. You're about the same. Shifu: Go ahead, Panda. Show us what you can do. Po: [hesitates; uneasily] Uh, are they gonna watch, or should I just wait until they get back to work or somethin'? Shifu: Hit it. Po: [stalling] Yeah, well, I just ate, so I'm still digesting, so my Kung Fu may not be as good as... later on. Shifu: Just hit it. Po: Uh, OK. [looks over at the training dum

    Mantis: There's no words. Crane: No denying that. Viper: I don't understand what Master Oogway was thinking. The poor guy's just gonna get himself killed. Crane: [mocking Po's lack of skills; sarcastically] He is so mighty! The Dragon Warrior - fell out of the sky in a ball of fire! Mantis: When he walks, the very ground shakes. Tigress: One would think that Master Oogway would choose someone who actually knew kung fu. Crane: Yeah, or could be at least touch his toes. Monkey: Or even see his toes.

    Po: Oh, hey. Hi, you're, uh...you're up. Crane: Am now. Po: I was just...Some day, huh? That Kung Fu stuff is hard work, right? Your biceps sore? Crane: [looks at his arms awkwardly] Uh...I've had a long and rather disappointing day. So, yeah. I should probably get to sleep now. Po: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Crane: OK, thanks. Po: It's just-Man, I'm such a big fan! You guys were totally amazing at the Battle of the Weeping River. Outnumbered 1001, but you didn't stop. And you just- [tries Kung Fu, only to accidentally kick a hole in the wall, leading to Monkey's room; Po peeks into the hole to see Monkey, who is now glaring at him] Oh, sorry about that. Crane: Uh, look, you don't belong here. Po: [sighs in disappointment] I know. I know. You're right. I don't have-I just-my whole life, I've dreamed of- Crane: No, no, no. I meant you don't belong here. I mean, in this room. This is my room. [softly taps his bed with his foot] Property of Crane. Po: Okay. Right, right. So, yeah, you w

    Oogway: [walks up to him] I see you have found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. Po: [turns around, holding a bunch of peaches in his arms and mouth] Oh, is that what this is? I am so sorry! I thought it was just a regular peach tree. Oogway: I understand. You eat when you are upset. Po: [spits out the peaches] Upset? I'm not upset. Why - What makes you think I'm upset? Oogway: So, why are you upset? Po: [sighs] I probably sucked more today than anyone in the history of kung fu, in the history of China, in the history of sucking. Oogway: Probably. Po: And the Five! Man, you should have seen them! They totally hate me. Oogway: Totally. Po: How is Shifu ever going to turn me into the Dragon Warrior? I mean, I'm not like the Five. I've got no claws, no wings, no venom. Even Mantis has those...thingies. [sighs] Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles. Oogway: [pauses] Quit, don't quit. Noodles, no noodles. You are too concerned with what was and what will be. There's

    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 Guards: To your battle stations! Go! Go! Go! Vachir: Fire, crossbows! Crossbow Guard 1: [fires an arrow at Tai-Lung] Fire! Crossbow Guard 2: 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: Tai Lung is free! I must warn Shifu! [goes to warn Shifu] Vachir: [grabs Zeng by the neck] You're not going anywhere, neither is he! Zeng: Let go of me! Vachir: [to the guards] Bring it up! Guard: Wait! Bring it back! Zeng: [scared] He's coming this way! Vachir: He won't get far. Archers! Zeng: We're dead. So very, very dead. Vachir: [laughs] Not yet, we're not. [to another guard] Now! Zeng: [terrified] Can we run now? Vachir: [terrified] Yes. Tai Lung: [sighs and rubs Zeng's forehead] I'm glad Shifu sent you. I was beginning to th

    Furious Five: [wake up to meet Shifu] Good morning, Master! Shifu: [notices that Po is not coming out] Panda?! Panda! Wake up! [opens the doors, realizes that he's not in his room, nor that he first enters his own room; chuckles] He's quit.

    Viper: What do we do now, Master, with the panda gone? Who will be the Dragon Warrior? Shifu: All we can do is resume our training and trust that in time, the true Dragon Warrior will be revealed. [opens the training courtyard doors, only to find himself face-to-face with Po, spreading out his legs wide apart on two training horses] What are you doing here?! Po: [sees Shifu and the Five staring at him] Hi! Good morning, Master! I just thought I'd warm up a little. Shifu: You're stuck. Po: Stuck? Nah. What? Stuck? Nah. This is one of my...Yeah, I'm stuck. Shifu: [to Crane] Help him. Crane: Oh, dear. [walks to Po] Maybe on three. One, two-- [flaps his wings, while pulling him up and Po flops onto his back.] Po: [gets up] Thank you. Crane: Don't mention it. Po: No really, I appreci— Crane: Ever. Shifu: You actually thought you could learn to do a full split in one night? [flings two boards into the air] It takes years to develop one's flexibility, and years longer [snaps his fingers, Tigr

    Po: Aaaoo...whoohoo...EEEee...hee- hee... OW! I thought you said acupuncture would make me feel better?! Mantis: Trust me, it will. It's just not easy finding the right nerve points under all this… Po: Fat? Mantis: Fur. I was going to say fur. Po: more or less. Mantis: Who am I to judge a warrior based on his size? I mean... look at me. I'm over here. [jabs an acupuncture needle in Po] Po: Ah-HAH! Viper: [Po he screams in pain] Maybe you should take a look at this again Mantis: Oh, okay. Po: Ow! Stop! Please! Po: I know Master Shifu's trying to inspire me and all, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was trying to get rid of me. [chuckles awkwardly] Mantis: [unpause] I know he can seem kind of heartless... [jabs another acupuncture needle in Po] but he wasn't always like that. Viper: According to legend, there was once a time when Master Shifu actually used to smile. Po: No. Mantis: Yes. Viper: But that was before. Po: Before what? Tigress: [enters] Before Tai Lung. Crane: [from

    Po: [with his mouth full] What? [annoyed] I eat when I'm upset, okay? Shifu: Oh, no need to explain. [starts to turn away, then turns back] I just thought you might be Monkey; he hides his almond cookies on the top shelf. [pretends to walk off and instead leans against the wall beside the doorway, hearing a bit of scuffling. When he looks in, Po is ten feet above the ground, doing a perfect split to keep himself airborne and currently shovelling Monkey’s almond cookies into his face. With a mixture of surprise and realization, he examines Po.] Po: [sees Shifu with the cookies in his mouth] Don't tell Monkey. Shifu: [in astonishment] Look at you. Po: Yeah, I know, I disgust you. Shifu: No, no, I mean, how did you get up there? Po: [taking a few more cookies] I don't know. I just - I don't know. I was getting a cookie. Shifu: And yet, you are ten feet off the ground, and have done a perfect split. Po: No. This is just an... [the shelf trembles under his weight] ...accident. [the shelf br

    Tai Lung: Where's the Dragon Warrior? Tigress: You're looking at her. Tai Lung: [chuckles] You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you! I heard how he fell out of the sky in a ball of fire, that he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen. Monkey: [realization] Po? Tai Lung: So, that is his name. Po. [chuckles again] Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary! [raises his fist into the air]

    Crane: [to Shifu; exhausted and out of breath from carrying the others back after their fight with Tai Lung] We were no match for his nerve attack. Shifu: He has gotten stronger. [presses some pressure points on Mantis' chest, reviving him] Po: Who? Tai Lung? Stronger? [gets punched in the face by Monkey after Shifu revives him] Monkey: He's too fast! Sorry, Po. Tigress: [as Shifu revives her; ashamed] I thought we could stop him. Shifu: He could have killed you. Mantis: Why didn't he? Shifu: [while reviving Viper] So you could come back here and strike fear into our hearts. But it won't work. Po: Uh...It might. I mean, a little. I'm pretty scared. Shifu: You can defeat him, panda! Po: Are you kidding? If they can't? They're five masters. I'm just one me. Shifu: But you will have the one thing that no one else does.

    Shifu: Focus. Po: Oh, yeah, yeah. Shifu: Read it, Po, and fulfill your destiny. Read it and become the Dragon Warrior. Po: Whoa, it's impossible to open. Okay, come on, baby, come on now. Thank you. I probably loosened it up for you, though. Okay, here goes. [starts unrolling the scroll, and once he's finished, he screams in terror, startling the Five] ... It's blank. Shifu: What? Po: Here, look. Shifu: No, I forbid to look upon...! [stops himself; looks at the scroll] Blank. I don't...I don't understand. Po: Okay. So, like, Oogway was just a crazy old turtle, after all. Shifu: No. Oogway was wiser than us all. Po: Oh, come on! Face it, he picked me by accident. Of course I'm not the Dragon Warrior. [sits on the floor; disappointed] Who am I kidding? Tigress: But who will stop Tai Lung? Crane: He'll destroy everything and everyone. Shifu: No. Evacuate the valley. You must protect the villagers from Tai Lung's rage. Tigress: What about you, Master? Shifu: I will fight him. Po: [shocked]

    Mr. Ping: Po, I'm going to tell you something I should've told you long ago. I'm about to tell you the secret ingredient of my Secret Ingredient Soup! Come here. The secret ingredient is...nothing! Po: Huh? Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient! Po: Wait, wait. It's just plain old noodle soup? You don't add some kind of special sauce or something? Mr. Ping: Don't have to. To make something special, you just have to believe it is special. Po: [finally understands the Dragon Scroll's secret] There is no secret ingredient.

    Tai Lung: I have come home, Master. Shifu: This is no longer your home, and I am no longer your master. Tai Lung: Yes. You have a new favorite. So where is this "Po"? [chuckles a bit] Did I scare him off? Shifu: This battle is between you and me. Tai Lung: So, this is how it's going to be. Shifu: That is how it must be. Tai Lung: I rotted in jail for TWENTY YEARS because of your weakness! Shifu: [enraged] OBEYING YOUR MASTER IS NOT WEAKNESS! Tai Lung: You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! [flashback ensues; 20 years ago, in the exact same spot in the Hall of Warriors; Tai Lung awaits Shifu and Oogway's evaluation] You always knew. But when Oogway said otherwise... [Oogway turns to Shifu and shakes his head in refusal and walks away] What did you do? [Shifu is about to say something, but remains silent out of respect for his master] What did you do?! [return to the present; furious] NOTHING! Shifu: YOU WERE NOT MEANT TO BE THE DRAGON WARRIOR! THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT! Tai Lung: NOT YOUR FAULT

    Tai Lung: Finally! Oh, yes. The power of the Dragon Scroll...is mine! [opens the Dragon Scroll, but finds nothing but a golden reflection] It's nothing! Po: [getting up] It's okay. I didn't get it the first time, either. Tai Lung: [confused] What? Po: 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: [weakly] You...can't defeat me. [comes out panting in exhaustion, having suffered bent whiskers and a black eye; still refusing to give up] You... You're just a big...fat...panda! Po: [pinches Tai Lung's finger] I'm not a big fat panda. I'm the big fat panda. [lifts up his pinky finger] Tai Lung: [gasps in horror] The Wuxi Finger Hold! Po: Oh, you know this hold? Tai Lung: [to Po; last words] You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that. Po: Nope. I figured it out. [flexes his pinky finger] Skadoosh.

    Po: Master! Shifu! Shifu, are you okay? Shifu: [coughs; weakly] Po, you're alive... [sadly] or we're both dead. Po: No, Master, I didn't die. I defeated Tai Lung. Shifu: You did? [Po nods yes] Wow. It is just as Oogway... foretold. You are the Dragon Warrior. [Po's smile disappears] You have brought peace...to this valley. And...and to me. Thank you. [sighs again] Thank you, Po. Thank you. Thank you. [lies down and closes his eyes, apparently to have died in Po's arms] Po: [looks disbelievingly at his master] No! Master! No, no, no, don't die, Shifu, please-- Shifu: [opens his eyes in annoyance] I'm not dying, you idiot- [realizes] Uh, Dragon Warrior. [relaxes and folds his hands over his chest] I am simply at peace. Finally. Po: Ohhh. So, um, I should stop talking? Shifu: [smiling] If you can. Po: [lies down beside him, fidgeting; then speaks:] You want to get something to eat? Shifu: [wakes up] Yeah.
