GET OVER HERE!

Dialogue

Jax: Trust me, Sonya! Sonya Blade: I only trust one person, Jax, and you're talking to her. Kano: Good boy. She's here! Right on time. I love punctuality in a woman. Don't you... Mr. Shang Tsung? Kano: Are you sure she'll follow me? Shang Tsung: You killed her partner, didn't you? She'll follow you into Hell. Just make sure she's on the boat. Sonya Blade must be at the tournament. Kano: Maybe me and Sonya should share a cabin. Have our own little honeymoon cruise... Shang Tsung: [unimpressed] If you so much as touch her, Kano... [Unsheathes a knife] You'll need a seeing eye dog.

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: Where do you get these guys?! And the press says I don't know how to do this stuff. Director: Cut. All right reset people. We're back in 15 minutes. Johnny Cage: No, I'm not doing it again! Director: What do you mean you're not doing it again? Johnny Cage: I mean I'm not doing it again! Director: Johnny, it's the last shot of the picture. Where are you going? Johnny Cage: I'm going to my trailer, I'm gonna get a gun, and I'm gonna shoot myself for being in your movie!

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: [seeing someone sitting in his chair] Hey, mister. You're in my chair. Master Boyd: [reading a tabloid, and lowering it to reveal himself] Hi, Johnny. Johnny Cage: Oh, Master Boyd. Master Boyd: I can see that the press is still giving you a hard time. Johnny Cage: Yeah, they think I'm a fake. Master Boyd: Johnny, you are one of the best martial artists in the world, and I can help you prove it. Johnny Cage: Prove it? How? Master Boyd: A tournament, "THE" tournament. [Hands him an invitation] It's held once a generation. The best fighters in the world are invited. You win the tournament, you win their respect. They'll tell the whole world, that you're the real goods. Johnny Cage: So, how do I... Master Boyd: There's a boat, it leaves Pier 40, Hong Kong tomorrow, be on it.

Dialogue

Liu Kang: [to Grandfather] I had enough of this. I'm going to find my brother's killer at the tournament, with or without your consent. Grandfather: [to Raiden] He isn't ready, my lord, and we lost so much time. Raiden: I know, but there's no one else.

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: Hey, pal! When the ship comes in, could you put these on board? Liu Kang: You want me to carry your luggage? Johnny Cage: Yeah. I pay money, you carry the bags, or is that too complicated? Liu Kang: No... [takes money out of Cage's hand] I got it. Johnny Cage: Good. Johnny Cage: Huh. Thank God I didn't ask him to park the car...

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: We got a guy with things comin' out of his hands, we got another guy who freezes stuff, and then there's a man, who as far as I can tell, is made out of electricity. I mean, how did he disappear like that? What is goin' on here? Who is this guy?! Sonya Blade: Let's just think this through. There is a rational explanation for all this. Liu Kang: He's Raiden, god of lightning and protector of the realm of Earth. Johnny Cage: Oh yeah, there's your rational explanation!

Dialogue

Liu Kang: Where are you going? Sonya Blade: After Shang Tsung. Liu Kang: You can't go after him. Don't you remember what Raiden said? Sonya Blade: Yeah, well, he didn't say anything to me. Shang Tsung knows where Kano's hiding. [goes on ahead] Johnny Cage: You know, you gotta admire her. When she sets her mind on something... Liu Kang: It's not her mind you're admiring. [follows after Sonya] Johnny Cage: [shrugs] It's true.

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: Don't worry, I've got a plan. Sonya Blade: Oh, I can't believe this! You are the most egotistical, self-deluded person I have ever met! Johnny Cage: Yeah, well you forgot good-looking.

Dialogue

Kano: See, me...l believe in a fair fight. You know, one-on-one, man-to-man...hand-to-hand. Just like what my daddy taught me. But what I saw up there was not very fair. Sonya Blade: [spots Kano sitting and eating his meal while discussing and attempts to go before Johnny stops her] That's Kano. Johnny Cage: Forget about Kano. Who's the other guy? Kano: So then he freezes this guy, right? And then he explodes. l could see his guts and everything. [eating] Almost lost my lunch. Goro: [Goro glaring in disgust] Disgusting. Kano: What I wanna know... if this Shang Tsung guy's so great, how come he's got such a crummy-looking boat? Ah, anyway, guy gives me the creeps. [mimicking Shang Tsung] "Treasure... these... moments!" Goro: That was his intention. Shang Tsung is a great sorcerer. The wise cultivate his favor. Those who challenge his power become his slaves. Kano: [startled] Yeah? Well, I haven't seen any of them around. Goro: You fool. You know nothing. He enslaves souls. He learned th

Dialogue

Johnny Cage: Kitana went this way... I can smell her perfume. Liu Kang: I don't smell anything. Sonya Blade: I smell something... Bullshit! [starts going down another way, followed by Liu Kang; Johnny mockingly mimes Sonya before following]

Dialogue

Raiden: Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Now why don't you tell me what you plan to do about... them? Raiden: Uh-uh. I don't think so. [chuckling to the guards and his eyes glow with electric sparks before he speaks to the Earthrealm fighters] You'll find that this is the way out. [escorts them out as the guards make way] Johnny Cage: [tossing a spear to one of the guards] You guys are lucky he stopped us. Raiden: So now you've seen what you'll be facing at the tournament. Sonya Blade: You mean Goro? Raiden: And Shang Tsung. Liu Kang: Will Shang Tsung fight in the tournament? Raiden: If he chooses to. As a former champion, he has the right to do so, and he's far more dangerous than Goro. His power comes from the souls of vanquished warriors. To fight Shang Tsung, is to face not one...but a legion of adversaries. [pointing his finger] Remember that. Tomorrow, the tournament begins. Be prepared.

Dialogue

Shang Tsung: Challenging Goro, eh? You weren't supposed to fight him now. Are you that eager to die? Johnny Cage: I'm not the one who's gonna die. Shang Tsung: I see. You're very foolish. A true sign of a hero. You want to protect your friends, but make no mistake; they too will die, after Goro destroys you. Johnny Cage: So what's the problem? Shang Tsung: As you wish. As absurd as your request is I shall grant it. In return, I reserve the right to challenge the winner myself... or another of my choosing. In a place designated by me for the final battle of the tournament. Johnny Cage: You got it, pal. Raiden: I don't think so! Shang Tsung: [seeing Raiden, but smiles coyly] Too late, Lord Raiden. The rules are quite clear. lt's... How do you say? [smiling chillingly towards Johnny Cage before leaving] "A deal's a deal." Raiden: What have you done? Johnny Cage: I made a choice. This is our tournament, remember? Mortal Kombat. We fight it! Raiden: Good. At last one of them has understood.

Dialogue

Shang Tsung: Finish him quickly. Pay me my tribute. Goro: This puny mortal will be no problem. I'll crush him with one blow. Johnny Cage: All right? Let's dance.

Dialogue

Kitana: Well done. You're finally learning, Liu Kang. Liu Kang: Kitana. Kitana: Come with me. Liu Kang: What happened here? Kitana: The same thing that could happen to your world unless you prevent it. My father was the rightful ruler of Outworld. Then his best warriors lost 10 Mortal Kombats and the emperor entered the realm. Killed my parents and adopted me to lay claim to the throne. It was beautiful once, until Shang Tsung engineered its destruction. Liu Kang: How can I stop this from happening in my world? Kitana: If I didn't believe in you, Liu Kang, I would not have helped you. In the dark tower, you will face three challenges. You must face your enemy. You must face yourself. And you must face your worst fear.

Dialogue

Kitana: Stay where you are. Will you interfere with the tournament and betray our emperor? In his great wisdom, Mortal Kombat can not be won by treachery. Shang Tsung: How dare you speak to me about treachery? Kitana: Your ignorance will lose you for all time the keys to the realm of Earth. Shang Tsung: Very well. Johnny Cage! I challenge you! Liu Kang: [steps into the arena] No! You'll fight me. I am Liu Kang, descendant of Kung Lao. I challenge you to Mortal Kombat. Do you accept, or yield? Shang Tsung: I accept. Leave us. I will take care of this impudent mortal myself.

Dialogue

Kitana: Face your worst fear. Liu Kang: [to Shang Tsung] I'm not afraid of my destiny. Face me! Shang Tsung: Liu. Liu Kang: Chan? It can't be you. Shang Tsung: Rayden sent me, to help you. Liu Kang: You're not really Chan. Shang Tsung: Remember when our parents died? You promised you'd always take care of me? Liu Kang: I remember. Shang Tsung: It's my turn to take care of you. Come with me. I forgive you for letting me die. Liu Kang: [having an epiphany] ...It wasn't my fault. Shang Tsung: Brother? Liu Kang: No. Chan chose his own path. Every man is responsible for his own destiny. [full of resolve] Shang Tsung killed my brother! Shang Tsung: [shifts back to normal, angry] YOU'RE MINE!!! [Liu Kang gets pummeled and Shang Tsung held him by his hair with an angry mocking look] The Chosen One. Liu Kang: [As Shang Tsung walks away disappointed but turns as Liu Kang gets up with an angry determined look on his face] I am The Chosen One. Liu Kang: You hear your slaves, sorcerer? [the souls f

Dialogue

Shao Kahn: You weak, pathetic fools! I've come for your souls! Raiden: I don't think so. [he, Liu Kang, Kitana, Sonya and Johnny assume fighting poses]
