Mushu's Humorous Take on General Shang's Strategies
Mushu
General Shang? General Hardhead, that's what they should call him! Everything's got to have a strategy!
[doing a perfect voice imitation of Fa Mulan on a dummy outside General Li Shang's tent]
General Li Shang
Mulan?
[barely awake]
Mushu
The man won't brush his teeth without a backup plan!
[still sounding like Fa Mulan]
General Li Shang
Huh?
[awakening slightly]
Mushu
I blame myself. I fell for those broad shoulders. I didn't realize there wasn't much sittin on top of em! Oh, except for that garlic breath... Ooh-whee! That boy can peel paint! Oops.
[still imitating; the dummy's head falls off accidently, then he gasps as he places it back on; no longer imitating; covers his mouth]
General Li Shang
THAT'S ENOUGH! Where is she?
[gasps and covers his mouth, then angrily steps out of his tent to find Fa Mulan]
Mushu
I am good!
[chuckles]
General Li Shang
MULAN!
[angrily storming over to Mulan]
Fa Mulan
Why hello, General. Out on night maneuvers?
General Li Shang
General Hardhead? Brushing my teeth?
[makes a silly yet glaring face]
Fa Mulan
Um, is something wrong?
[curious]
General Li Shang
I heard you, Mulan. Every word.
[angrily scolding Mulan; covers his mouth]
Fa Mulan
Every word of what?
[confused]
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
Changing of the guard.
[watching General Li Shang angrily leave]
General Li Shang
And next time, DON'T LEAVE YOUR POST!
[furiously stops and angrily turns back to Mulan; angrily storms off again]
Fa Mulan
Hmph!
Yao
What's with him? What's with her? Who'm I talkin to?
[Fa Mulan angrily growls and leaves in frustration]

Mushu
Hey, yo, where's my masseuse? Saving China gives me knots you wouldn't believe.

Oh!
[groans]
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!

Who? The gorilla with the bad eye?
Mei
Gorilla? He's more like a big, cuddly panda bear.

He's gross?

I mean under that.

He smells? Ooof!

Navigating Challenges Without a Clear Plan

Then we pull over and ask directions.
General Li Shang
We don't need to pull over and ask directions. We have a map.
