10 quotesLearning and Leadership in Mortal Kombat
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.

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?

Yeah, well, he didn't say anything to me. Shang Tsung knows where Kano's hiding.
[goes on ahead]

You know, you gotta admire her. When she sets her mind on something...

Hey, pal! When the ship comes in, could you put these on board?

Yeah. I pay money, you carry the bags, or is that too complicated?
Liu Kang
No... I got it.
[takes money out of Cage's hand]
Johnny Cage
Good.

Huh. Thank God I didn't ask him to park the car...

Tournament Preparations and Challenges Ahead
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. You'll find that this is the way out.
[chuckling to the guards and his eyes glow with electric sparks before he speaks to the Earthrealm fighters; escorts them out as the guards make way]
Johnny Cage
You guys are lucky he stopped us.
[tossing a spear to one of the guards]
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. Remember that. Tomorrow, the tournament begins. Be prepared.
[pointing his finger]

Understanding Raiden's Powers and Identity
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!

Determination Amidst Caution and Responsibility

[to Grandfather]
Grandfather
He isn't ready, my lord, and we lost so much time.
[to Raiden]
Raiden
I know, but there's no one else.

Kano's Perspective on Fairness in Combat
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
That's Kano.
[spots Kano sitting and eating his meal while discussing and attempts to go before Johnny stops her]
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. Almost lost my lunch.
[eating]
Goro
Disgusting.
[Goro glaring in disgust]
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. "Treasure... these... moments!
[mimicking Shang Tsung]
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
Yeah? Well, I haven't seen any of them around.
[startled]
Goro
You fool. You know nothing. He enslaves souls. He learned the black arts from the Emperor himself.
Kano
You're some kinda royalty too, right?
Goro
I am Goro! General of the armies of Outworld, and prince of the subterranean realm of Shokan.
Kano
Subterranean? What's that, something like underground?
Goro
Yes... Something like that.
Kano
Yeah, well, I'm kind of an underworld boss myself. Well... I mean, back home.
[Goro glares at him before he begins to smack the cup spilling his drink]
Goro
How lucky for them... "back home".
Shang Tsung
It's true, Prince Goro. Why else would I have chosen such a disreputable-looking cretin? Look at him! No dignity, no manners... Yet in the realm of Earth, men like him can amass great wealth, and almost god-like power.
[enters the room descending on the stairs; motioning to Kano]
Kano
Yeah, and I'd like to get back to my amassing as soon as possible, if you don't mind. Now when do I get paid?
Shang Tsung
After you have fought the girl. But remember, she's not to be harmed only humiliated. I have special plans for my beautiful Sonya.
[sinisterly smiling]
Goro
To what do we owe the honor of your visit, Shang Tsung?
Shang Tsung
I have come to warn you that Kung Lao's descendant is competing in the tournament. You must handle him carefully.
Goro
I saw this Liu Kang in the Hall. He'll pose no problem.
Shang Tsung
This is no time for foolish pride! We've never been this close to absolute victory, which is why I've come to warn you of another danger...Princess Kitana.
[bitter]
Goro
The Emperor's adopted daughter? Why should I worry about her?
Shang Tsung
Princess Kitana is 10,000 years old, and the rightful heir to the throne of Outworld. But she must not be allowed to join with the forces from the realm of Earth, especially...Liu Kang.
Johnny Cage
What's so special about you?
[to Liu Kang]
Liu Kang
I don't know.
Shang Tsung
The Emperor will not tolerate failure...and neither...will...I.
Goro
I DO NOT FAIL!!!
Johnny Cage
Let's get outta here.
Kano
What?
[startled]
Goro
What is it?
[startled]
Shang Tsung
We are not...alone.
