Kung Fu Panda Page #3

Synopsis: It's the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

when you are upset.

Upset? I'm not upset.

Why would I be upset?

So, why are you upset?

I probably sucked more today

than anyone in the history of Kung Fu.

In the history of China.

In the history of sucking.

Probably.

And the Five...man,

you should have seen them,

they totally hate me.

Totally.

How's Shifu ever going to turn me

into the Dragon Warrior?

I mean I'm not like the Five,

I've got no claws.

No wings,

no venom.

Even Mantis got those thingies.

May be I should just quit

and go back to making noodles.

Quit. Don't quit.

Noodles. Don't noodles.

You are too concerned with

what was and what will be.

There's a saying.

Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

But today is a gift.

That is why it is called the "present".

Oh No!

What's happening?

To your battle stations!

Go! Go! Go!

Fire Cross-Bow!

Fire!

Fire!

Tai Lung's free. I must warn Shifu.

You are not going anywhere.

Neither is he!

Let go of me.

Bring it up!

Wait! Bring it back!

He's going this way.

He won't get far.

Archers!

We Dead.

So very, very dead.

Ha..Ha. Not yet, we're not.

Now!

Can we run now?

Yes.

I am glad Shifu sent you.

I was beginning to feel

I'm being forgotten.

Fly back there and tell them, the

real Dragon Warrior is coming home.

Good Morning, Master.

Panda!

Panda! Wake up!

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

He's quitted.

What do we do now Master

with the Panda gone?

Who will be the Dragon Warrior?

All we can do is resume our training

and trust that in time...

the true Dragon Warrior will be revealed.

What are you doing here?

Haa...hey.

Good Morning Master.

I thought I'll warm up a little.

You're stuck.

Stuck?...No...What?...Stuck?

No...This is one of the...

Ya...I'm stuck.

Help him.

Oh dear.

Lift me on three.

One, two, ....

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

No really. I appreciate it...

...Ever.

You actually thought you could

learn to do a full split in one night.

It takes years to develop

ones flexibility.

And years longer to apply it in combat.

Put that down!

The only souvenirs we collect down here

are bloody knuckles and broken bones.

Yaa...ha...ha...ha.

Excellent!

Let's get started.

Are you ready?

I was born ready...Oww!

Oww!...Oh!. I'm sorry brother.

I thought you said you're ready.

That was awesome!

Let's go again!

I've been taking it easy on you Panda

but no more. Your next opponent...

...will be me.

Alright. Ya...Let's go!

Step forth!

The true path to victory is to find

your opponent's weakness.

And make him suffer for it.

Oh yeah. To take his strength

and use it against him.

Until he finally falls or quits.

But a real warrior never quits.

Don't worry Master, I'll never quit.

If he is smart he won't

come back those steps.

But he will.

He's not going to quit, is he?

He's not going to quit bouncing.

I'll tell you that.

Oouch! I thought you said

accupuncture will make me feel better.

Trust me it will.

It's just not easy finding right nerve points

under all this...fat?

Fur!

I was going to say fur.

Sure you were.

Who am I to judge a warrior

based on his size?

So I mean, look at me.

I'm over here.

Haa...aah...

Maybe you should take a look at this again.

Ohh... Okay.

Oouch!

Stop! Stop it!

Eee...ouch!

I know Master Shifu is trying

to inspire me and all.

But if I didn't know any better

I'll say he's trying to get rid of me.

I know he can seem like heartless.

Aaahh...!

But you know he wasn't

always like that.

According to legend there was once a time

when Master Shifu actually used to spy...

No...

Yes, but that was before...

Before what?

Before Tai Lung.

Aah...ya.

We are not really suppose to talk about him.

Well if he is going to stay here

he should now.

Guys, guys,

I know about Tai Lung.

He was a student. The first to ever

master the 1000 scrolls of Kung Fu.

And then he turned bad

and now he's in jail.

He wasn't just a student.

Shifu found him as a cub.

And he raised him as his son.

And when the child showed

talent in Kung Fu

Shifu trained him.

He believed in him. He told him

he was destined for greatness.

It was never enough for Tai Lung.

He wanted the Dragon Scroll.

But Oogway saw darkness

in his heart and refused.

Outraged, Tai Lung

laid waste to the Valley.

He tried to take the Scroll by force.

And Shifu has to destroy

what he had created.

But how could he?

Shifu loved Tai Lung like he

has never love anyone before.

What's it?

And now he has a chance

to make things right.

To train the true Dragon Warrior.

And he is stuck with you.

A big fat Panda who

treats it like a joke.

Ohh... That's it!

Wait! My fault!

I accidentally tweaked his facial nerves.

And may have also stopped his heart.

Inner peace.

Inner peace.

Inner...in...in...in

inner peace.

Look whoever is making that

flapping sound quiet down.

Inner...Quaaa!

Oh, Zeng, excellent.

I could use some good news now.

Aaahh....

Master. Master.

Hmm...

I...I..have ...It's a...

It's a very bad news.

Aah... Shifu. There's just news.

No good or bad.

Master, your vision was right.

Tai Lung has broken out of prison.

He's on his way.

That is bad news...

... if you do not believe that

the Dragon Warrior can stop him.

Panda? Master, that Panda

is not the Dragon Warrior.

He wasn't even meant to be here.

It was an accident.

There are no accidents.

Yes, I know.

You said that already.

Twice.

Well, that was no accident either.

Thrice.

My old friend.

The Panda will never fulfill

his destiny, nor you, yours.

Until you let go of the

illusion of control.

Illusion?

Yes.

Look at this tree, Shifu.

I cannot make it blossom

when it suits me.

Nor make it bear

fruit before it's time.

But there are things

we can control.

I can control when

the fruit will fall.

I can control where

to plant the seed.

That is no illusion, Master.

Ah...yes, but no matter

what you do

That seed will grow

to be a peach tree.

You may wish for an

apple or an orange.

But you will get a peach.

But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung.

Maybe it can, if you are willing

to guide it, to nurture it.

To believe in it.

But how? How?

I need your help, Master.

No, you just need to believe.

Promise me, Shifu.

Promise me, you will believe.

I... I will try.

Hmm...Good.

My time has come.

You must continue your journey

without me.

What?...what?...what are you...

Wait!

Master.

You can't leave me.

You must believe.

Master.

I'm not scared...yet.

Sound like fun. He maybe a wolf.

You may be the scariest bandit

in Harjin Province.

But you're a lousy tipper.

Really.

So, how did you

get out of there alive?

I mean I didn't actually said that,

but I thought it, in my mind.

If he could read my mind

he would have been like...what?

Order up!

You like it?

This is really good.

Now, come on. You should try

my dad's secret ingredient soup.

He actually knows the secret ingredient.

What are you talking about?

This is amazing.

Wow...you are really a good cook.
