- Soothsayer: Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you *choose* to be. So, who are you, panda?
- Po: [determined] I am Po. And I'm gonna need a hat.
- Mantis: You know, guys, I never expected to die like this. I thought I'd meet a nice girl, settle down, and then she'd eat my head.
- Shen: How did you find peace? I took away your parents! Everything! I scarred you for life!
- Po: See, that's the thing, Shen. Scars heal.
- Shen: No they don't. *Wounds* heal.
- Po: Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade, I guess?
- Shen: I don't *care* what scars do!
- Po: You should, Shen. You gotta let go of that stuff from past, because it just doesn't matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.
- Shen: You're right. Then I choose *this*!
- [Shen attacks Po with his knives; they fight until Shen accidentally dislodges his destroyed cannon and is crushed by it]
- Mantis: I didn't have any problems with my dad. Maybe it's 'cause Mom ate his head before I was born...
- Po: [struggling to his knees] I *have* to get to him.
- Tigress: [threateningly] Then tell me why!
- Po: He was there, OK? The peacock was there the last time I saw my parents! He knows what happened... where I came from... who I am.
- [Tigress stares and opens her mouth slightly as her expression softens]
- Po: Look, I'm going.
- [stands up]
- Po: I have to know. The hard core can't understand.
- [Tigress frowns and lunges at Po]
- Viper: Tigress, no!
- [Tigress hugs Po; Crane's jaw drops]
- Tigress: [warmly] The hard core *do* understand.
- [pulls away]
- Tigress: But I can't watch my friend be killed.
- [to the others]
- Tigress: We're going.
- Crane: Uh, maybe you can't watch *me* be killed?
- Tigress: [firmly] Stop being a wimp.
- Monkey: And... she's back.
- Master Storming Ox: [sighs] Don't worry, kid. You're better off here.
- Po: I threw up around the third floor, so you might want to clean that up. You guys got an evil janitor around here or something?
- Shen: The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing.
- Po: Well thank you, but I find your evilness extremely annoying!
- Shen: Who do you think you are, Panda?
- Po: Who do you think I am, Peacock?
- [both laugh for an extended time, each taking turns]
- Po: Why are we laughing?
- Soothsayer: [foretelling] If you continue on your current path, you will find yourself... at the bottom of the stairs.
- [Shen sees he has reached the bottom of the stairs]
- Soothsayer: I see... I see... I see, pain!
- [she pulls out one of Shen's feathers]
- Shen: Ow!
- Soothsayer: And anger!
- [she takes a bite out of Shen's robe]
- Shen: How dare you! This is the finest silk in the province!
- Po: Dad, there's something you should know. While I was gone, I found the village where I was born. I found out how I ended up in that radish basket.
- Mr. Ping: You did?
- Po: I know who I am.
- Mr. Ping: [nervously] You do?
- Po: ...I'm your son.
- Mr. Ping: Oh...
- Po: [picks him up and hugs him] I love you, Dad.
- Mr. Ping: I love you too, son.
- Soothsayer: I see... I see... pain.
- [plucks out some of Shen's feathers]
- Shen: OW!
- Soothsayer: And anger.
- [chews on the hem of his robe]
- Shen: How dare you! That is the finest silk in the province!
- Soothsayer: Followed by denial.
- Shen: This is not fortune-telling, you're just saying what's happening right...!
- Soothsayer: Now?
- [Shen glares]
- Soothsayer: The most important time, is now.
- Shen: Call in the wolves. All of them! I want them ready to move. The year of the peacock begins now!
- Wolf Boss: Right now? Cause it's the middle of the year... so you'd only get like a half of the year of the peacock.
- [Shen glares at him, raising a dagger]
- Wolf Boss: And this is the year, of course, of the peacock. Happy new year, sir.
- Shen: Get the wolves ready. We're loading the ships now...
- [shouts]
- Shen: NOW! Now, now, now, now!
- [after Po is apparently killed by Shen's cannon and the Five are captured]
- Monkey: We cannot give up hope. Po would want us to remain strong. Hardcore! Right, Tigress?
- [Tigress is silent in grief]
- Soothsayer: This was a thriving village. Young Shen was in line to rule Gongmen City. But he wanted more. I foretold that someone would stand in his way. A panda. But I never could have foretold what came next.
- [Po has another flashback of Shen attacking the panda village]
- Soothsayer: Stop fighting. Let it flow.
- [last lines, as a panda from far away senses something]
- Panda Dad: My son is alive.
- [the panda looks down on other pandas living in a valley]
- Shen: [triumphantly] You were wrong, Soothsayer!
- [wields sword]
- Shen: We sail to victory tonight. Your magic panda is clearly a fool!
- Soothsayer: [angrily] Are you certain it is the panda that is a fool? You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!
- Shen: A trivial sacrifice... when all of China is my reward.
- [pokes the burning tip to a map of China, which bursts into a spreading flame]
- Soothsayer: Then will you finally be satisfied? Will the subjugation of the whole world finally make you feel better?
- Shen: [Sneers] It's a start. I was also thinking of converting the basement into a dungeon.
- Soothsayer: [pause] The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.
- Shen: And why on Earth would I do that?
- Soothsayer: So your parents can rest in peace.
- Shen: [bitterly] My parents... hated me. Do you understand? They - they wronged me. And... I will make it right.
- Soothsayer: They loved you. They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them.
- Shen: [pause] The dead exist in the past. And I must attend to the future.
- [to his gorilla guard]
- Shen: Set the Soothsayer free. She is of no use to me.
- Soothsayer: [sadly] Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness.
- Shen: Happiness... must be taken. And I will take mine.
- Mr. Ping: Oh, Po, your story may not have such a happy beginning, but look how it turned out. You got me, you got kung fu, and you got noodles!
- Po: Nothing's unstoppable except for me when I'm stopping you from telling me something's unstoppable.
- Shen: So, one panda lives. That does not make you right.
- Soothsayer: You're right. Being *right* makes me right.
- Shen: Then I will kill him, and make you wrong!
- Soothsayer: A peacock... is defeated by a warrior of black and white. Nothing has changed.
- Shen: [enraged, then laughs] That is impossible, and you know it.
- Soothsayer: It is *not* impossible, and *he* knows it.
- Shen: Who?
- Wolf Boss: [enters] Lord Shen, I saw a panda!
- Shen: A panda?
- [jumps on the wolf]
- Wolf Boss: A kung fu warrior! He fought like a demon! Big and furry, soft and squishy... kind of plush and cuddly.
- Master Thundering Rhino: What do you want, Shen?
- Shen: What is rightfully mine: Gongmen City!
- Master Thundering Rhino: Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Council of Masters, and we will protect it. Even from you.
- Shen: [laughs] I'm so glad you feel that way! Otherwise I'd have dragged... that all the way here for nothing.
- [He motions to his wolf soldiers dragging a heavy crate into the courtyard]
- Master Storming Ox: What's in the box, Shen?
- Shen: You want to see? It's a gift. It's your parting gift... in that it will part you. Part of you here, part of you there, and part of you way over there, staining the wall!
- Master Storming Ox: You insolent fool!
- Wolf Boss: [Po gets distracted by his Shen's symbol on Wolf Boss's right shoulder plate and gets hit by Wolf Boss's hammer, knocking him into the bunny villagers] Chew on that, tubby!
