- This is gonna be delicious!
Dialogue
edit- Mushu: It seems like only last month, you and me were fightin' off the Huns and saving China!
- Fa Mulan: It was last month.
- Mushu: How time flies. Ya know, baby, this must be a magical moment for you.
- Fa Mulan: It's not every day I get engaged.
- Mushu: No, I meant telling ME you're engaged. [Cri-Kee chirps] I'm the guy that gave you and Pretty Boy the hookup. Am I a guardian or am I a guardian?
- Fa Mulan: Oh, You're more than that, Mushu. [hugs him] You're my most trusted friend.
- Mushu: [starting to cry] Oh, that did it!
- [General Li Shang rubbing the back of his head and peeking his head in Fa Mulan's room]
- General Li Shang: Mulan? Seems your grandma invited someone to help us celebrate the engagement.
- Fa Mulan: [making a face] Really?...Who?
- General Li Shang: [both looking outside at a whole crowd of people in Fa Mulan's front yard] China.
- Crowd: CONGRATULATIONS! [cheers and applause]
- Grandmother Fa: Isn't it wonderful? Sorry, it's sort of slapdash. Took us by surprise, you know. [Fa Mulan and General Li Shang laugh] Make way for the happy couple.
- [They bows to them]
- General Li Shang: Now this is a battlefield.
- Mulan: What's our strategy, General?
- General Li Shang: Divide and conquer.
- [They both start to laugh again]
- [after the people of China who being asked them who would if their wedding is going to be big celebration]
- Woman in Crowd 1: So tell me, will it be a big wedding?
- Fa Mulan: Absolutely!
- General Li Shang: Oh ho, no! Absolutely not.
- Woman in Crowd 2: Children?
- General Li Shang: As many as possible.
- Fa Mulan: Maybe one or two.
- General Li Shang: We'll think about it.
- Fa Mulan: Right away.
- General Li Shang: Blue.
- Fa Mulan: Pink!
- General Li Shang: Mild.
- Fa Mulan: Spicy!
- General Li Shang: Yes!
- Fa Mulan: No!
- Fa Li: Oh, dear. Did you hear that?
- Fa Zhou: Not exactly a harmonious couple, are they?
- Fa Li: What should we do?
- Fa Zhou: Perhaps we should give our gift to the children now.
- General Li Shang: [to the Emperor] This mission does not call for force, but finesse. I know just the men.
- Fa Mulan: China's most honored and noble soldiers.
- [In the next shot, Ling, Chien-Po, and Yao, stumble clumsily out the front steps of the Matchmaker's house]
- Matchmaker: AND STAY OUT! I've found wives for HUNDREDS of men, but the Golden Dragon of Unity himself COULDN'T make love matches for YOU three! COME BACK WHEN YOU GET PERSONALITIES!
- Ling: Well, that's a fine way to treat China's greatest... [Matchmaker throws the pot on his face] ...heroes.
- Ling: And so, I said, "You just broke my best set of china." [laughs] China. Get it?
- Yao: You should have seen the way she looked at me.
- Ling: You mean with disgust?
- Su: Wow. China is so big. Isn't it beautiful, Mei? Mei?
- Mei: Yes, beautiful. [about Yao; dreamily] Did you see the way he looked at me?
- Ting-Ting: Who? The gorilla with the bad eye?
- Mei: Gorilla? [hugs a pillow] He's more like a big, cuddly panda bear.
- Su: But you didn't even talk to him.
- Mei: A true romantic can tell. He may be...coarse on the outside, but on the inside...
- Ting-Ting: He's gross?
- Mei: [glaring] I mean under that.
- Su: He smells? [Mei throws a pillow at her] Ooof!
- Mei: I can see past my nose. [crawls over to Su and Ting Ting] Deep down. Deep, DEEP down, WAY down...! [grabs a pillow and hugs it] There's something.
- Su: [giggling] Oh! Ting Ting, I think she's in love!
- Ting-Ting: No, there'll be none of that. Remember, Mei, you are to be married in three days. You gave your solemn oath.
- Mei: [disappointedly] You're right.
- Fa Mulan: Well, then, maybe we should just forget the map and wing it.
- General Li Shang: We can't wing it. We need a new plan. We have three days. What if we get lost?
- Fa Mulan: Then we pull over and ask directions.
- General Li Shang: We don't need to pull over and ask directions. We have a map.
- Fa Mulan: What is it with men and asking directions?
- General Li Shang: What is it with women and maps?!
- Fa Mulan: Shang, I'm sorry. You're in charge of the mission.
- General Li Shang: No, I'm the one who should be sorry. A good leader is opened up to new ideas. Forgive me?
- Fa Mulan: [takes his hand and smiles] Ah, there's nothing to forgive.
- Mushu: [doing a perfect voice imitation of Fa Mulan on a dummy outside General Li Shang's tent] General Shang? General Hardhead, that's what they should call him! Everything's got to have a strategy!
- General Li Shang: [barely awake] Mulan?
- Mushu: [still sounding like Fa Mulan] The man won't brush his teeth without a backup plan!
- General Li Shang: [awakening slightly] Huh?
- Mushu: [still imitating] I blame myself. I fell for those broad shoulders. I didn't realize there wasn't much sittin' on top of 'em! [the dummy's head falls off accidently, then he gasps as he places it back on] Oh, except for that garlic breath... [no longer imitating] Ooh-whee! That boy can peel paint! Oops. [covers his mouth]
- General Li Shang: [gasps and covers his mouth, then angrily steps out of his tent to find Fa Mulan] THAT'S ENOUGH! Where is she?
- Mushu: [chuckles] I am good!
- General Li Shang: [angrily storming over to Mulan] MULAN!
- Fa Mulan: Why hello, General. Out on night maneuvers?
- General Li Shang: General Hardhead? [makes a silly yet glaring face] Brushing my teeth?
- Fa Mulan: [curious] Um, is something wrong?
- General Li Shang: [angrily scolding Mulan] I heard you, Mulan. Every word. [covers his mouth]
- Fa Mulan: [confused] Every word of what?
- General Li Shang: Don't play coy, I saw you outside my tent.
- Fa Mulan: What? I haven't left my post.
- General Li Shang: And I suppose you weren't gossiping about me with the princesses?
- Fa Mulan: Shang, did that dip in the river get you water-logged? And - why are you talking with your hand over your mouth?
- General Li Shang: I wouldn't want to PEEL your PAINT! [angrily storms off while Mulan looks on, shocked]
- Yao: [watching General Li Shang angrily leave] Changing of the guard.
- General Li Shang: [furiously stops and angrily turns back to Mulan] And next time, DON'T LEAVE YOUR POST! [angrily storms off again]
- Fa Mulan: Hmph!
- Yao: What's with him? [Fa Mulan angrily growls and leaves in frustration] What's with her? Who'm I talkin' to?
- Mushu: Mulan, what do you say to a little pick-me-up?
- Fa Mulan: My father said, "Differences can make you stronger." He didn't realize that Shang and I are just too different.
- Mushu: Well, you know, you've always got me. The old team, right?
- Fa Mulan: Aw, you're always looking out for me, Mushu.
- Mushu: [laughs nervously] Just doing the best I can.
- Fa Mulan: Really, I just don't know what I'd do without you. You're the best friend I've ever had.
- Mushu: [chattering and gaspes] AAAAH!!!! Oh, I can't stand it no more! The only thing wrong with you and Shang...is me! I'm the one that got between you!
- Fa Mulan: [confused] What are you talking about? It's not like you made the carriage go into the river.
- Mushu: Now, that was an accident. Following several attempts at "on purpose".
- Fa Mulan: [slowly realizing] And it wasn't YOU outside Shang's tent.
- Mushu: [gulps] He he, you know how I gab?
- Fa Mulan: And you woke him up after I left?!
- Mushu: It wasn't easy, neither that man can sleep.
- Fa Mulan: [stops Khan] Mushu, what did you do?!
- Mushu: I was banging pots and pans...
- Fa Mulan: NO! What did YOU do?!
- Mushu: [chattering] YOU WAS GETTING MARRIED! Everything was gonna change! I was gonna lose you and my pedestal!
- Fa Mulan: You mean you got between Shang and me so you could keep your job?!
- Mushu: I'm sorry!
- Fa Mulan: What you did was unforgivable!
- Mushu: But you and Shang are so different!
- Fa Mulan: [with sudden realization] Wait a second! Not as different as I thought! Of all those problems, they weren't us. They were you! [Mushu's annoyed] I've got to talk to Shang. Tell him I love him. [catching with Khan in speed]
- Mushu: Mulan, I'll make it up to you! I promise!
- Fa Mulan: Forget it. You've helped enough. [puts Mushu back in her bag] Shang! [but the bandits appear in front of the group] It's an ambush!
- General Li Shang: [to Lord Qin] My Lord, I love Mulan. And I don't care what the rules say. If she'll have me, I intend to marry her right here. [takes her hands] Right now.
- [Last lines]
- Mushu: Hey, yo, where's my masseuse? Saving China gives me knots you wouldn't believe.
- Ancestors: [groans] Oh!
- Mushu: And what about my pedicure? Let's get jamming on the toe jam, people. And somebody heat up some oil. I don't know what we're gonna do with it yet, but it's gonna be good. Does a hero dragon deserve anything less? Draw my bath. Warm my towel. Let the pampering begin!
