Chi-Fu: You think troops are ready to fight? Ha. They would not last a minute against the Huns. Captain Li Shang: They completed their training.

I did it to save my father. Chi-Fu: HIGH TREASON! Fa Mulan: I didn't mean for it to go this far! Chi-Fu: ULTIMATE DISHONOR! Fa Mulan: It was the only way! Please, believe me! Chi-Fu: Captain? [Shang walks over to Khan and takes out Mulan's sword. Khan rears back and Mushu are shocked; to the soldiers holding Khan] Restrain him. Yao, Ling and Chien-Po: [horrified] NO!

CHRISTINA AGUILERA lyrics (Reflection)

Look at me / You may think you see who I really am / But you'll never know me / Every day / It's as if I play a part| Now I see / If I wear a mask, I can fool the world / But I cannot fool my heart...| Who is that girl I see / Staring straight back at me? / When will my reflection show who I am inside?| I am now / In a world where I have to hide my heart / And what I believe in / But somehow / I will show the world what's inside my heart / And be loved for who I am...| Who is that girl I see / Staring straight back at me? / Why is my reflection someone I don't know? / Must I pretend that I'm / Someone else for all time? / When will my reflection show who I am inside?| There's a heart that must be free to fly / That burns with a need to know the reason why...| Why must we all conceal / What we think, how we feel? / Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? / I won't pretend that I'm / Someone else for all time? / When will my reflection show who I am inside?| When will my reflection
