Dialogue

Mr. Ping: I need you to autograph your stuff!

Po: Stuff?

Mr. Ping: Business has doubled since I turned your bedroom into a gift shop.

Po: Gift shop?

Mr. Ping: Dragon Warrior souvenirs with every purchase.

Po: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're selling my stuff?

Mr. Ping: Oh, no, no, no, no. [hands out a gift]

Child: Oh, boy! Thank you! [runs off with the gift]

Mr. Ping: I'm giving it away!

Po: What?! What about my Furious 5 figures? Where are they?

Mr. Ping: I put them in the box over there.

Po: This box?! [holds up the box which appears to be empty]

Mr. Ping: Uh… oops.

Po: [dramatically] NO!!!! [crying as he bumps his against the wall] No...!

Mr. Ping: I'm sorry, Po.

Po: Dad, they're handmade scale replicas with Kung Fu action. [Mr. Ping rubs his wings together in guilt] I made them the day I fell in love with Kung Fu. I have to find them. [accidentally bumps his head on the door] Ow! [opens the door and runs off]

Mr. Ping: Po! It was an accident!

Shifu: What are you doing?! That's not proper form! This is not control! And stand on your feet!

Tigress: I'm sorry, Master. I don't know what got into me. I won't let it happen again.

Shifu: I wish I could believe that. [sighs in disappointment] 100 laps.

Tigress: Yes, Master Shifu.

Shifu: Higher knees!

Tigress: Yes, Master Shifu.

Oogway: She wants to make you proud.

Shifu: Well, maybe I could be proud if she was doing the correct form. [breaks s teacup]

Oogway: Your form.

Shifu: Is there another kind? [breaks another teacup]

Oogway: Shifu, an acorn can only become the mighty oak, not a cherry tree. You must let her grow into what she will be.

Master Mongrel: [showing up; breathing heavily] MASTER OOGWAY! MASTER SHIFU!

Shifu: Master Mongrel, what is it?

Master Mongrel: He's coming. A giant of a warrior, he calls himself Boar.

Boar: I AM BOAR!

Master Mongrel: He's unstoppable.

Boar: I AM UNSTOPPABLE!

Master Mongrel: He's invincible.

Boar: I am invis--Insiv-- I AM BOAR!

Master Mongrel: He's defeating the masters one by one. He's heading this way. Shifu, only you can stop him.

[Shifu slouches his a chair, sick with green skin after eating his food, that Po accidentally sneezed on]

Shifu: What was…in that food?

Oogway: Please, fetch a doctor.

Tigress: [whispering to Oogway] He's in no condition to fight that Boar.

Shifu: I can hear you.

Oogway: Tigress is right. You need reinforcements.

Tigress: [steps up] Master, it would be honor to fight for you.

Shifu: No! You are not ready. [puffs up; Oogway laughs] Get me a scroll. [writes on the scroll] This is a list of four warriors. Find them in the Wang Fu village and hurry.

Oogway: No. Send Tigress.

Tigress: Master, I won't disappoint you.

Shifu: [looks at Oogway, then gives the scroll to Tigress; serious] Be back before dawn. Do not fail me.

Tigress: I will make you proud. [runs off with the scroll]

---

Shifu: Make it quick. I have a valley to defend.

Mantis: Acupuncture is a very precise art.

Shifu: Have you ever done this, before?

Mantis: [laughs] No. You're my first patient. [jabs an acupuncture needle into Shifu, causing his entire body to turn red and puff up] Whoa. That is weird.

---

Tigress: [arrives at the Lee Da Kung Fu Academy; to the four red panda warriors] Masters, the valley is in great peril. Master Shifu sent me here to fetch four warriors. I'm looking for… [Crane appears with a mop and a bucket of water while moping the floors] The Cleaner?

Crane: [looks around and lowers his head; smiling sheepishly] Uh, yes?

Tigress: Right. [walks up to him] Master Cleaner, it is an honor to meet you. Master Shifu has asked that you return with me to the Jade Palace. You are needed there.

Crane: [gasps joyfully] The Jade Palace?!

[In his imagination, Shifu gives him a thumbs-up for making the Hall of Warriors shiny and clean]

Shifu: Excellent work!

[Back to reality]

Crane: YES! [calms down] I... [clears his throat] Yes, of-of course I'll go.

Tigress: Good. We must hurry. [they leave]

Crane: The Jade Palace! I'm needed there! [laughs in joy]

---

[After Tigress returns to the Jade Palace with Crane, Viper, and Monkey]

Shifu: [speechless] Why, Tigress, what is this? [coughs]

Tigress: The warriors on your list. [hands him the scroll]

Viper: [confused] Warriors? Where?

Crane: Uh…

Shifu: [takes the scroll out of Tigress' hand and opens it] This is not my list! Where are the warriors that I sent for?! [coughs]

[Cut to the four red panda warriors playing a game of cards at the Lee Da Kung Fu Academy]

Red Panda Warrior: Oh, is it my turn?

[Back to the Jade Palace]

Tigress: I–I don't understand. It must be an accident.

Oogway: Ah, there are no acci… [Shifu extends his hand, immediately silencing him]

Tigress: Master, forgive me.

Shifu: You disappoint me. Who will defend the valley now?

Crane: Wait, we can help Tigress.

Tigress: What?

Crane: We can… fight… a little… bit.

Viper: Yes, you can count me in too.

Monkey: Let's do this!

Mantis: I'm not actually even a doctor, so I'm in.

Shifu: You can help by leaving.

Monkey: Okay, bye.

Tigress: No, master, please, listen. I have seen them! They have skills!

Shifu: But they are not the warriors I sent for! [coughs]

Tigress: It has been an honor to know you.

Viper: But, Tigress…

Tigress: I'm sorry. [heads downstairs]

Goat Servant: [quickly running upstairs] Master Shifu! Master, the Boar! The Boar has been spotted by the Great Forest!

Shifu: Evacuate the city… [coughs] to higher ground.

Goat Servant: Right away!

Shifu: [to the four] You, you should leave now.

Crane: Let's go. [they walk down the stairs]

Shifu: [looks at Oogway] I'll do what I can. [coughs]

[Tigress sits on the edge of a cliff at the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, sulking over her failure]

Oogway: [walking towards her] A cleaner, a comedian, a dancer, and even that little doctor. [sits next to her] It was no accident that you found them.

Tigress: [disgraced] I failed Shifu.

Oogway: Worse. You're failing yourself. No matter how much you try, you will never be Shifu. The question is: can you be Tigress?

---

Po: This is terrible.

Mr. Ping: Yes, they're leaving before breakfast.

Po: No, Dad. If I hadn't poisoned Shifu with my food, then none of this would've ha…ppened. [hesitantly realizes what he just said]

Mr. Ping: Po, you cooked a meal for Shifu?! [Po bumps his head against a wall] So Shifu ate noodles from Ping's Noodle Hut?

Po: Dad, I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you, but...

Mr. Ping: [hugs Po] No, this is fantastic!

Po: But...

Mr. Ping: Now serving the Jade Palace, Ping and Son. You can't buy this kind of publicity.

Po: But, Dad...

Mr. Ping: If we hurry, we'll be the only ones selling food to all those starving folk.

Po: Wait...

Mr. Ping: I'll get the pots.

Po: But...

Mr. Ping: Gather some roots and mushrooms from the hilltop and I'll see you up there later.

Po: [sighs in resignation] Okay, I'm on it. [walks out]

Boar: I AM BOAR!

Tigress: I hold my ground... steady, strong. This is the way of Kung Fu.

Boar: So, you're going to stop me? [cackles evilly] Let's see. [Tigress punches him but the impact blows her back] Is that all you got? I'm disappointed. [punches Tigress many times] I was expecting a challenge. [knocks out Tigress and cackles evilly]

Oogway: Good morning, Shifu.

Shifu: I must do something.

Oogway: No. [stops Shifu with his staff] Her destiny is not yours to control.

Boar: [cackles evilly] I AM UNSTOPPABLE! [cackles evilly]

Crane: Gocha.

Viper: Don't move sweetie. [kisses Tigress by the head]

Monkey: [Monkey doing full-on Monkey sounds] You know what the best part of the joke is? THE PUNCH LINE. [Monkey doing full-on Monkey sounds]

Viper: Need a hand?

[Boar gets mad and is blown back by Crane]

Boar: What are you doing? You are nothing. I just defeated Shifu.

Tigress: No. I'm not... Shifu. [jumps up and rips to reveal her signature outfit] I am Tigress.

Mantis: Woah.

Po: [gasps] Woah... [watches Boar being battled]

[Tigress continues to fight Boar]

Mantis: Let me hold your breath it's gonna hurt.

[Boar gets pushed back really far]

Tigress: Alright, all together. [the five jump for one final blow] Twist your hips... [Po tries to twist his hips] ...recoil... [Po falls over but still watches, Boar pants into being scared] ...and extend!

[Boar gets smashed by Monkey, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Tigress]

Boar: I've...been...stopped! [tusks break in slow-motion]

Po: Kung Fu. I know. I know what I wanna do. I KNOW WHAT I WANNA DO- OWWW!
