Healing Through Scars and Finding Peace
Shen
H-How did you...How did you do it?
[trying to catch his breath]
Po
You know, you just keep your elbows up and keep the shoulders loose-
[shrugs]
Shen
Not that! How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything! I-I-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 the past, cause 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!
[last words before his death]
Po
Whew...
[emerges; looks at the docks next to him]
Tigress
That...was pretty hardcore.

Disagreement Among Characters in Shen's Residence
Shen
Good afternoon, gentlemen! Now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, please leave my house.
[enters the courtyard of his family palace]
Master Ox
Your house?
Shen
Yes, didn't you see the peacock on the front door? Ah, there you are, Soothsayer. It seems your fortune-telling skills are not as good as you thought.
[spots the Soothsayer]
Soothsayer
We shall see, Shen.
Shen
No, you shall see, old goat. Where were we?
[under his breath; aloud, to the Council]
Master Rhino
What do you want, Shen?
Shen
What is rightfully mine...Gongmen City!
Master Rhino
Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Masters Council and we will protect it, even from you.
Shen
I'm so glad you feel that way! Otherwise, I'd have dragged that here for nothing.
[laughs; indicating his wolf army dragging a rather large box on a cart]
Master Ox
What's in the box, Shen?
Shen
You want to see? It's a gift. It's your parting gift, in that it'll part you; part of you here, part of you there, and part of you waaay over there, staining the wall!
Master Ox
You insolent fool!
[attacks, but is quickly brought down]
Shen
Show-off.
[sneering]
Master Rhino
That is a warning. You are no match for our Kung Fu.
Shen
I agree, but this is.

Okay, enough with these riddles! Would you guys just spill the beans?! First, we come in and the weapon is tiny. Surprise, it's big! And then the lady over here, I think it's a guy, cause he's got a... Whoa!
[Shen savagely points his knife at him in the face as quick as a flash, getting him to shut up]
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?

Who do you think I am, peacock? Why are we laughing?!

Take aim.

You IDIOT!
[angrily kicks Guard Gorilla in the face]
Guard Gorilla
Ow! My nose!
Shen
Call in the wolves! All of them! I want them ready to move! The Year of the Peacock begins now!

Right now? Cause, it's the middle of the year, so you'd only get like, uh, half the Year of the Peacock. And this is the Year, of course, of the Peacock. Happy New Year, sir.
[Shen glares furiously and points one of his blades at him]
Shen
Get the wolves ready. We're loading the ships now. NOW!!! NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW!

Planning a Confrontation with Shen's Forces
Tigress
That must be Shen's palace, in the other side of the city.
Po
Great! We will match in the tower, and proclaim; We are the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five, and we are here to bring you to justice!
[begins leaping off the roof]
Mantis
Hey! What are you doing? This place is crawling with wolves.
[grabs Po's foot, making crash back on the roof, and pulls him back]
Crane
Hey! Isn't that the guy that hammered you in the face?
Po
I do not like that guy.
[spotting Wolf Boss who smacked the pig's head while passing by]
Tigress
We need to get to that to tower, without being spotted by those wolves.
Po
Got it. Stealth Mode.
[the warriors creep back down from the roof. Later, he attempts to sneak through the streets, stopping to hide behind two thin pillars. He briefly spots the Five stealthily leaping over the rooftops. He picks up a large plant and tries to use it as camouflage, but ends up tripping over the other plant pot. Now on the floor, he slides on his back towards cover...but changes direction when he sees a noodle bowl standing on the very edge of a noodle cart; he tries to reach a dangling noodle strand with his tongue]
Wolf
Hey, get outta the way!
[off-screen]
Po
Ow! Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, hello, ho, ho, ho, I couldn't help but- Anyway. Where was I?
[alerted to the presence of wolves and rolls out of sight behind a market stall. He sneaks along the line of market stalls until he hits himself on something unseen; emerging behind a fruit stall, only to encounter a wolf passing by. The wolf stares; the strands hanging from a kite on his head, coupled with two watermelons sitting in front of his chest, give him the appearance of a woman. He notices this, pulls out a fan, and begins flirting with the wolf in a female voice; headbutts the wolf, knocking him out cold. He quickly makes his way out the stall]
Tigress
Where's Po?
Mantis
How can we lose a guy that big?
Po
Guys, guys?
Monkey
He-Hey, Po!
[appears behind Po, beneath the costume]
Po
Sorry!
[startled, and accidentally backhanded Monkey as the rest of the Five joined him beneath the costume]
Crane
So, that was stealth mode, huh?
Po
To be honest, not one of my stronger modes.
Wolf
This rice is raw!
[to the sheep]
Sheep
You stole all my metal pots for Lord Shen!
[scared]
Wolf
Either you cook my rice, or I cook you!
[flings down the bowl as a threat]
Sheep
My apologies...
Crane
Po, do something!
[whispers]
Po
How am I supposed to help her cook rice without getting caught?! Wait, I have a better idea!
[whispers]
Wolf
Three, Two, One!
Po
Hey.
[taps the wolf on the shoulder with the costume's tongue]
Wolf
Hey.
[does a double-take, and turns back as Po punches him, knocking him out]
Po
We're here to liberate the city, and bring Shen to justice.
Sheep
You will need help!
Po
Thank you brave sheep, but it's too dangerous...I can't let you.
Sheep
Oh...No, not me. It's not safe to speak here.
Po
Right.
[thinks for a moment, and then picks the sheep up into the dragon's mouth in front of the young bunny, who screams and runs off]
Sheep
I'm talking about Masters Ox and Croc. They are in Gongmen Jail, on Black Dragon alley.
Po
What? They're still alive?! They must be in that jail gathering intelligence, hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon! Okay, let's go! Thanks, sheep.
[puts her down]
Wolf Boss
Hey! Stop that costume!
[spots the beaten soldier and the warriors; rushing in]
Viper
Take That!
Wolf Boss
Now! Got you! Huh?! Split up! Search everywhere!
[the wolves impale the costume; yanks off the costume. only to find that the warriors have been replaced by cabbage crates with swords sticking out of them]
Wolf
What about over there?
Wolf Boss
Is there a part of everywhere?
Wolf
I...I guess.
Wolf Boss
Then search there!
Po
They must be close. I can feel a Kung Fu chill riding up my spine.
Viper
Sorry, Po. It's just me.
[sliding out the barrel]
Tigress
Look. Gongmen Jail.
[standing up and spots a hanging sign on the alley corner]
Wolf
Aw, it's cute.
Mantis
CUTE?! Huh?!
[explodes out of the barrel; swinging the wolves around before knocking them senseless and tossing two barrels over the unconscious bodies]
Tigress
Nice work, Po.
Monkey
At the first sight of trouble, I'll give you a signal. Ka-kaw! Kee-kee!
Po
You mean like Crane does?
Monkey
Yeah!
Crane
Excuse me, when have I ever made that noise?
[stepping up to Monkey]
Po
Master Ox? Master... The ferocious Master Croc! And Master Storming Ox! I can't believe, we're rescuing actual legends of Kung Fu. We're gonna free you from those bonds of injustice, no problem! Gotta be a key around here...no they wouldn't leave a key around here... Oh great, you found it! Alright, let's go! We're coming for you, Shen! Woo-hooo! Wahohohohoooo... ...woo? Guys, are we going or not? Do you want to meet us there later? I mean, you do wanna take back your city, right?
[spotting a melancholy Master Croc leaning on a cell door in a dark corner of the room. He excitedly runs over to him; spotting Master Ox inside and his happiness doubles; begins pulling the bars; Tigress breaks the door off its hinges; excitedly running off; turns and falters; walks back to the two masters, who have made no move to leave their cell]
Master Ox
Of course we do. But if we stand up against Shen, he will turn the weapon on the city!
[he and Croc pick up the broken door; they push the door back in its place]
Po
Listen to yourself. You're protecting Gongmen city, by not protecting Gongmen city? If we all fight together...
[stunned; stepping forward]
Master Ox
Then the weapon would kill everyone!
[pushing the door, shoving Po back]
Po
Oh, would it? Then we use a sneak attack. We'll get inside, and then...
[Ox swings the door as he dodges and sidelines into the cell]
Master Croc
And then you'll be stopped! By the unstoppable weapon.
[they shove Po back outside with the door. Ox cuts through the central bar and forces the 2 halves into the door frame, fixes the door in place]
Po
Nothing is unstoppable except for me when I'm stopping you from telling me something unstoppable. Master Ox, I'm not let you stay in this cell!
[leaps at the door, which swings horizontally, bring him inside and knocking Croc outside. Croc and Tigress look at each other silently- Croc begins sheepishly tapping on the door. Inside the cell, he and Ox face each other]
Master Ox
I like to see you get me out!
[grabbing Croc's tail, yanking Croc inside while catapulting Po outside with the swinging door. Tigress catches him upside down, coolly turns him the right way up, and spins him around to face the cell]
Po
You guys see that? It's called being awesome! Come on! Whatever happened to being heroes?
[pointing at her with an awed expression; leaping back inside the cell. A minor scuffle ensues between the three warriors]
Master Croc
The only hero in this town is a dead 1.
Master Ox
Like I said; You are not getting me out of this cell! Oh, no.
[he and Croc notice that they're outside the cell]
Po
Yes! Alright. Let's go!
[getting to his feet and stepping out of the cell, triumphantly; his triumph fades when Ox and Croc walk into the opposite cell and shut the door behind them]
Master Croc
I get the top bunk.
Master Ox
It's time to surrender, panda. Kung Fu is dead.
Po
I...You...You...Kung Fu is a dea..aa.ad?! Fine! You stay in your prison of fear! With bars made of hopelessness. And all you get is 3 square meals a day of shame!
Master Croc
With despair for dessert.
Po
We'll take on Shen and prove to all those who hunger for justice and honor that Kung Fu still lives!
Boar Prisoner
Yeah!
Po
Monkey?!
[annoyed]
Monkey
Ka-caw...
[peering over the rail, sheepishly]
Po
You! You're MINE!
[turns to Wolf Boss]
Boss Wolf
I'll tell you what's gonna be yours: My fist in your plush cuddly, super-soft face! ...Uh-oh.
[Monkey and Crane take out the two guards; flees]
Po
Get him!
[he and the Five take off after him]
Boss Wolf
Get me outta here!
[jumps onto a rickshaw cart]
Antelope Driver
Yes, sir!
[frightened; speedily pulls Boss Wolf up the street as the Five emerge and chase him]
Monkey
Go, Po, go!
Boss Wolf
Lose him!
Antelope Driver
Yes, sir!
Po
Viper!
Viper
Hang on!
[wraps herself round a pole as Po grabs her tail]
Boss Wolf
Watch out!
[flings the innocent antelope into Po's path. Po barely manages to swerve round the driver]
Po
Very uncool!
Boss Wolf
Try this!
[knocking over several citizens and crates. Po is barely able to dodge the crates, and the 5 manage to pull all the citizens out the way, though they fall behind in the process. Po laughs and continues his pursuit. The chase takes them out of the market place and into a small street]
Boss Wolf
How about something small?!
[picks up a pram full of baby bunnies]
Po
No, no! Cute bunnies off the face!
[horrified; the bunnies are flung into his face. Blinded, Po ends up rolling off the street and into a scaffolding as Boss Wolf laughs at him; manages to see enough to spot that their cart is about to go over the end of the scaffold. He screams before slamming his foot on the left wheel, swerving the cart onto the rooftop next to the scaffold]
Bunnies
Fire!
[Po sees that his foot is on green fire. Down below, the Five continue their pursuit]
Tigress
We lost him!
[hears Po scream and looks up. On the rooftop, Po sees that they are again about to go over the edge. With nowhere to go, they indeed go over, but Po manages to balance the cart on two ropes stretching over the street, depositing the bunnies safely in the seat. Po spots that they're about to crash into the building opposite]
Po
Crane, catch! Guys, guys, guys, guys! Give me a shove!
[swinging beneath the cart and tosses the bunnies into the air, all of which are caught by Crane. He crashes into the building, shattering the cart, and falls back into the street. Back on street level, he's left balancing on a wheel and a stick. Far ahead, Boss Wolf laughs tauntingly and continues on]
Tigress
Mantis, now!
[Mantis flings Tigress forward. Tigress flies through the air, prepares a double-fisted punch an strikes Po directly in the rear...and he goes tearing up the street, leaving a trail of fire in his wake. Boss Wolf barely has time to turn and yell in surprise before Po crashes into him. The two are now sparring on the still-moving cart, passing watching citizens as they speed down the street]
Wolf Boss
Is that the best you've got?! Cause it feels like I'm fighting a big old fluffy cloud!
Po
Well, this cloud is about to bring the thunder! Ow! Why... are... there... so... many... signs?! WAAAAAH!!!!!! Come here! Alaka-squasho! Yes! Taste of the defeat. Let me tell you something. Next time you miss with a panda, you better bring a whole...lotta...
[pushing Boss Wolf up with his foot, causing Boss Wolf to get hit in the back repeatedly by the hanging signs. Boss Wolf eventually retaliates by grabs his foot and leaning backwards, forcing him into a upwards position on the cart. Boss Wolf laughs as Po suffers the same treatment, in the face; whack; whack; whack; whack; whack; a large gate sign approaches; ducks just in time. The cart goes through the gate and begins bouncing down the stairs. The motion gives him an idea. He sticks his fist out and Boss Wolf's face gets bounced into it each time the cart bumps on a step. The cart reaches the bottom of the stairs and goes down another street before riding up a ramp, sending Po and Boss Wolf flying into the air. They scream and clutch at each other as they soar over the city. As gravity begins to take effect, he grabs Boss Wolf and forces him beneath him; CRASH! Boss Wolf takes the worst of the impact as they crash into the ground outside the palace gates. The Five rush onto the scene as he staggers off the stunned wolf. Tigress catches him as he falls backwards]
Wolf Boss
Guess nobody told you, if you mess with the wolf, you get the fangs! Now I've hit ya twice, what are you gonna do now?!
[gets to his feet; punches Po in the gut as he doubles over, winded]
Po
WE SURRENDER!!!
[glaring at Boss Wolf, then an idea came to him]
Crane
You could chain my body, but you will never chain my... warrior spirit.
[a wolf cuffs his Crane's neck, muffled/muzzled his voice]
Po
They don't forget the little guy!
Mantis
Did you just called...?!
[Po grabs and stuffs him in a little cage which he carries from that point on]
Tigress
Po, what are you doing?!
[whispering in confusion]
Po
Trust me, I gotta a pla- Oww! No way! 8-point acupressure cuffs! Just like the one that held Tai Lung, the more you move the tighter they get... These are the best cuffs. D'oh!
[cries out in pain as a pair of cuffs is slapped around his own wrists; a gorilla hooks his cuffs on a pole and yanks him off his feet. drags forward]

Defining Identity Beyond a Troubled Beginning
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?

The Consequences of Dark Ambition
Soothsayer
Long ago, in ancient China, the peacocks ruled over Gongmen City. They brought great joy and prosperity to the city, for they had invented fireworks. But their son, Lord Shen, saw darker power in the fireworks. What had brought color and joy could also bring darkness and destruction. Shen's troubled parents consulted a soothsayer. She foretold that if Shen continued down this dark path, he would be defeated by a warrior of black and white. The young lord set out to change his fate, but what he did next...only sealed it. Shen returned to his parents full of pride, but in their faces, he saw only horror. He was banished from the city forever. But Shen swore revenge. Someday, he would return, and all of China would bow at his feet.

Po
Momma?

Mom? Dad? Is that you? Mom, Dad!

He begins making tai chi movements similar to Shifu's...; plip! Another drop hits his head. He scowls and tries again; plip!

The mast is not a worthy opponent. I'm ready.

[raising his fist and punching her paw as hard as he can. POW! Then clutching his fist in pain]

Po
That's...severely cool!

Again!

Po
So, um, this punching ironwood trees, how long did you have to do that?
[getting up and begins punching her fist repeatedly]
Tigress
20 years.
Po
Oh! 20-20 years? Is there any...you know, a faster way? You know, until you'll, you know, don't feel anything?

Tigress
No. Besides... I don't think hard style is...your thing.

Po
Oh.
[sits up straight]

Po, why are you really out here?

Po
I just found out that my dad...isn't really my dad.
Tigress
Your dad, the goose? That must have been quite a shock, and this bothers you?

Po
Are you kidding me? We're warriors, right? Nerves of steel, souls of Platinum. Like you. So hard core, you don't feel anything!
[punching her arm, but retracts his fist in pain]

I was...
[surprised]
Mantis
So, what you guys talking about?
Po
Nothing. Nothing!
Viper
Po's having daddy issues.
Mantis
I'm so lucky, I don't have any problems with my dad. Maybe it's cause Mom ate his head before I was born. I don't know!
Viper
Mantis, this isn't about you! Po is the one freaking out.
Po
I'm not freaking out.
Tigress
Po...
[eyes widen and calling out to him]

I'm freaking in.

Shen's Ambition for Power and Control
Shen
My father's throne. He used to let me play here, beside him. Promising with someday this throne would be mine. A little to the left.
[smiling fondly; the throne is tossed out of a window seconds later. The cannon is moved in it's place]
Gorilla
But it's so heavy, Master.
Shen
Every thing must be exactly how I envisioned it, and I envisioned it a little to the left. Perfect! With the weapon, by my si - a little bit more. With the weapon, by my side, all China will bow before me! We move out in 3 days, when the moon is full and the tide is high. Well, you old goat, why don't you tell me my-?
[the gorillas adjust the cannon; the gorillas adjust the cannon one last time]

[peers into her bowl; Shen looks down and is annoyed to see he has indeed reached the bottom of the stairs leading to his throne; Shen comes closer; plucking out one of his feathers]

And anger.
[chewing on the hem of his robe]
Shen
How dare you! This is the finest silk in the province!

This is not fortune-telling! You're just saying what's happening right-!
Soothsayer
Now? The most important time is now. But if you really want to see the future...
Shen
What do you see?
Soothsayer
A peacock...is defeated by a warrior, of black and white. Nothing has changed.
[burns a powder in a dish, creating a vision in swirling smoke]
Shen
That's impossible, and you know it.

It is not impossible, and he knows it.

Who?

Lord Shen! I saw a panda!

Shen
A panda?!
[knocks him to the ground, gripping him by the throat]
Wolf Boss
A Kung Fu warrior. He fought like a demon! Big and furry, soft and squishy...uh, kinda plush and cuddly...
[nervously]
Shen
There are no more pandas.
Soothsayer
Even with his poor eyesight, he can see the truth. Why is it that you cannot?
[taps the Boss's missing eye]
Shen
Find this panda, and bring him to me!
[to the Wolf Boss, angrily; pushing him away]
Wolf Boss
Yes, sir!
[hurries away downstairs]
Shen
So, one panda lives. That does not make you right!
[chuckles]
Soothsayer
You're right. Being right makes me right.
Shen
Then I will kill him, and make you wrong! WILL YOU STOP THAT?!
[He hears a crunching sound, so turns and sees Soothsayer chewing the hem of his robe again.]

The Cost of Ambition and Destruction
Shen
You were wrong, Soothsayer! We sail to victory tonight. Your magic panda is clearly a fool!
[triumphantly; wields sword]
Soothsayer
Are you certain it is the panda that is a fool?! You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!
[angrily]
Shen
A trivial sacrifice... when all of China is my reward.
[sticks the sword's tip into a nearby fire, then 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
It's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon.
[sneers]
Soothsayer
The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.
[her anger spent; approaches him]
Shen
Why on Earth would I do that?
[chuckles]
Soothsayer
So your parents can rest in peace.
Shen
My parents...hated me. Do you understand? They - They wronged me. And...I will make it right.
[bitterly]
Soothsayer
They loved you. They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them.
[sadly]
Shen
The dead exist in the past. And I must tend to the future. Set the Soothsayer free. She is of no use to me.
[pauses; to his gorilla guard]
Soothsayer
Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness.
[heartbroken]
Shen
Happiness...must be taken. And I will take mine.

Confrontation of Fear and Destiny
Shen
Greetings, panda. At last we meet. No. No, no, no.. We meet at last! Yes! That's it! Greetings, panda. We meet at..
Soothsayer
You are afraid for a reason.
Shen
I'm not afraid. He's coming to me in chains. If anyone should be afraid it's-
Soothsayer
You!
[moves to Shen's robes]
Shen
Don't even think about it.

Discussion of Master Thundering Rhino's Identity
Shifu
Are you familiar with the master of Gongmen City?
[to Po and the Furious Five, reading from a scroll]
Po
Master Thundering Rhino?
Shifu
Yes.
Po
Son of the legendary Flying Rhino?
Shifu
Yes.
[hands Po the scroll]
Po
Slayer of the 10,000 serpents in the Valley of Woe?
Shifu
He's dead.
[sadly]
Po
Whoa.
Crane
But-But-But that's impossible!
Tigress
Rhino's horn defense is impervious to any technique!
Shifu
It was no technique! Lord Shen has created a weapon - one that breathes fire and spits metal! Unless he is stopped, this could mean the end of Kung Fu.
Po
But I just got Kung Fu!
Shifu
And now, you must save it! Go! Destroy this weapon and bring Lord Shen to justice!
[points out with his staff]
Po
Okay, here we go, here we- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait...How can I do this? I mean, how can Kung Fu stop something that stops Kung Fu?
[starts running with the Five; as the Five leave, he turns back to Shifu]
Shifu
Remember, Dragon Warrior, anything is possible when you have inner peace.

A Birthday Celebration Turns to Uncertainty
Mother Pig
What do you mean he's not here? It's my son's birthday. All he wanted was to meet the Dragon Warrior.
Mr. Ping
How about some tofu birthday cake, instead?
Mother Pig
You know what...we'll try again some other time. When do you think he'll be back?
Mr. Ping
I don't know, okay?! I DON'T KNOW! Maybe never! I mean, I worry, okay, I'm his dad...or at least I was his dad... Why did he have to go and save China...? I know why, but why? He's just one little panda. So, how did it go? Did you save China?
[in tears; heartbroken; flings himself across the table; sniffs; the mother pig's son starts laughing; he gets up, turns around and sees Po with two radish baskets. He approaches Po and hugs him]
Po
Yep.
Mr. Ping
I knew you would...that's why I had these new posters made... "My son saved China. You too can save, buy one dumpling get one free!
[pulls out a poster of Po]
Po
Hey, that's a pretty good deal.
Mr. Ping
Would you like to try one?
Po
Maybe later. There's something I should tell you. While I was gone, I found the village where I was born...I found out how I ended up in that radish basket.
[sets down the baskets; Mr. Ping gulps]
Mr. Ping
You did?
Po
I know who I am.
Mr. Ping
You do?
[barely speaking]
Po
I'm your son. I love you, Dad.
[the two embrace lovingly]
Mr. Ping
I love you too, son.

Fulfilling Destiny and Surviving Danger
Po
Yeah. Like, you could make me drink that... Ew!
[exclaims, groans; Soothsayer sticks a needle in his forehead, making his eyes bulge and his mouth pop wide open, tosses the hot medicine in his mouth and yanks the needle, making him swallow; coughs]
Soothsayer
If I wanted you dead, I would have left you in that river.
Po
Why save me?
[removing the needles]
Soothsayer
So you can fulfill your destiny.
Po
What are you talking about? Where am I? What is this place?
[notices that they are among the burned remains of a small panda village]
Soothsayer
I am surprised that you remember so little...but then, you were so little when it happened. Perhaps you do remember.
[Po suddenly hears screaming inside his head and cries out in pain. He crawls towards the edge of the house ruin. gazes at him]
Po
What? It's just a stupid nightmare.
Soothsayer
Nightmare...or memory?

The Quest for Inner Peace
Shifu
Inner peace. Inner peace. Inner peace.
[meditating; the splash sound is heard; groans]
Po
Master Shifu! Master Shifu, what do we got? Pirates? Vandals of Volcano Mountain? Whatever it is, I will take them down! Cause I'm in a mood. I need to get something done. You know what I mean?
[runs up]
Shifu
Inner peace.
[still meditating]
Po
Ahh...What are you doing?
Shifu
One of Master Oogway's final teachings.
[performs the "Inner Peace" technique]
Po
Whoa! Awesome! How'd you do that?
Shifu
Inner peace.
[smiles]
Po
Inner piece. That's cool. Inner piece of what?
Shifu
It's the next phase of your training. Every master must find his path to inner peace. Some chose to meditate for 50 years, in a cave just like this! Without the slimmest taste of food. Or water.
Po
Or...?
Shifu
Some find it in torture and suffering. As I did. Po, the day you were chosen as Dragon Warrior...was the worst day of my life. By far, nothing else came close. It was the worst, most painful, mind-destroying horrible moment...
Po
Okay.
Shifu
...I have ever experienced. But once I realized the problem was not you, but within me, I found inner peace and was able to harness the flow of the universe.
[shudders at the thought]
Po
So that's it? I just need inner peace? My innards are already super, super peaceful...So, all I need to do, is just get this thing going. Inner peace, you're going down! Now show me what were you doing that with your feet. I saw just sort of fancy foot...
Tigress
Po! Bandits, approaching the Musician's village
Po
Danger! Tell those musicians to start playing some action music, because it is on! Don't worry, Shifu. I'll master inner peace, as soon as I get back.
Tigress
No snack stops this time.
Po
Snack stops! Wait, you serious?
[laughs; beat]

A Misunderstanding About Shen's Escape
Master Ox
Oh...You! What did you do?! It's chaos up there! What happened to stopping Shen?!
[recognizes them]
Monkey
Yeah.
[sarcastically to Po]
Po
Yeah...Guys, come on! Give me a little credit. I meant for him to get away. Cause...It was a trick. There's a plot! I was thinking...of figuring out his plot...more.
Mantis
That makes no sense.
Po
What do you mean? Sure it does.
Tigress
Po, the truth! You had Shen. What happened?
Po
What are you talking about? What're you...I don't know, what are you talking about? Uh...Yeah! Ahh...He caught me off guard.
Tigress
The truth! Fine. They'll keep you far from danger.
[pause]
Master Croc
Real far.
Po
What?
Tigress
You're staying here.
[starts to leaves Po]
Po
W-w-wait! I have to go ba--
[catching up; Tigress angrily whirls round to Po. A loud hush falls over the room, pauses; everyone is terrified and shocked at it.]
Tigress
YOU'RE STAYING HERE!
[enraged]
Po
I'm going, and you can't stop me! Okay, I wasn't ready that time.
[tries to walk past Tigress, but Tigress grabs his arm and twists him around. He turns back to Tigress]
Viper
Guys, don't.
[worried]
Tigress
Ready.
[preparing to fight]
Po
Look!
[attempting to distract her]
Viper
Stay down.
Po
I have to get to him!
[gets up, hesitates]
Tigress
Then tell me why!
Po
He was there! Okay?! The peacock was there, the last time I saw my parents! He knows what happened. Where I came from. Who I am. Look, I'm going. I have to know. The hard core can't understand.
[pauses as Tigress looks on; prepares to leave]
Viper
Tigress, no!
Tigress
The hard core do understand. But I can't watch my friend be killed. We're going.
[pulls herself away; to Furious Five]
Crane
Hey, maybe you can't watch me be killed?
Tigress
Stop being a wimp.
Monkey
And she's back.
Master Ox
Don't worry, kid. You're better off here.
[to Po]
