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]
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
Shen : How many times do I have to kill the same stinking panda?
-
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!
-
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!
-
Shen : Why don't you tell me my...
Soothsayer : Fortune?
Shen : [annoyed] The future. I was going to say "future."
-
[the Soothsayer chews on Shen's robe]
Shen : Will you stop that?
-
Shen : My father's throne. He used to let me play here beside him, promising me someday this throne would be mine.
[Shen has his father's throne pitched out the window, and a heavy, ornate cannon put in its place]
Shen : A little to the left.
Gorilla Guard #1 : But it's so heavy, Master.
Shen : Thirty years I've waited for this moment. Everything must be exactly as I envisioned it. And I envisioned it... a little to the left.
[the gorillas grunt and move the cannon]
Shen : Perfect. With the weapon by my si... uh, a little bit more.
[the gorillas groan and move it again]
Shen : With the weapon by my side, none can stand in my way!
-
[Shen enters the courtyard of his parents' palace]
Shen : Good afternoon, gentlemen... now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, please leave my house.
Master Storming Ox : *Your* house?
Shen : Yes, didn't you see the peacock on the front door?
-
[as Po, the Furious Five and the Masters fight their way through Shen's wolves]
Shen : Why aren't we firing?
Wolf Boss : They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!
Shen : Fire, fire at them!
Wolf Boss : But, sir, we'll kill our own!
Shen : [screaming] I said fire at them! FIRE!
Wolf Boss : [drops his torch] ... No.
[Shen kills the Wolf Boss with his daggers, then jumps onto the cannon and lights the fuse himself]
-
[Master Rhino deflects all of Shen's throwing knives and jabs Shen with his hammer, sending him skidding back and breaking all his daggers]
Shen : Show-off.
Master Thundering Rhino : That is a warning. You are no match for our kung fu.
Shen : I agree... but this is.
[He jumps back onto the crate as it falls open, revealing a cannon aimed at Rhino]
-
Po : I did not have a lifetime... we only heard about Master Thundering Rhino a few days ago, and we came to avenge him!
Soothsayer : [stares] You've come to avenge nothing else?
Po : Yeah, all those pots and pans you stole- we're going to want those back!
Soothsayer : Nothing else?
Po : You probably did some other evil stuff on the way, I don't know, what else did he do?
Soothsayer : [shocked] You don't know...
Po : Know what?
[Shen laughs]
Po : What's so funny?
Shen : Precisely the thing... that you clearly do *not* know!
-
Shen : [about Po] You really think that this is the warrior destined to defeat me?
Soothsayer : I do not... I *know* he is.
Shen : Look at him! A lifetime to plot his revenge and he comes to me on his knees!
-
Soothsayer : You've grown up bigger than I thought.
[she looked at Po's ears and mouth]
Soothsayer : Strong... healthy.
Po : Look, I don't know who you are, but please step aside sir.
Viper : [whispering] That's a lady.
Po : Oh, sorry! The beard threw me... it's kind of misleading...
[Soothsayer strokes her beard, amused]
Po : false advertising...
Shen : Enough of this nonsense!
