Kung Fu Panda Page #4

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.

I wish my mouth was bigger.

Tigress, you got to try this.

Hmm...

It is said that the Dragon Warrior can

survive for months at a time on nothing

but the dew of a single Gingko leaf

and the energy of the universe.

I guess my body doesn't know

it's the Dragon Warrior yet.

I need lard more than dew

and the universe juice.

What?

Oh nothing, Master Shifu.

Ha...ha...ha...ha!

You will never be the Dragon Warrior

unless you lose 500 pounds.

and brush your teeth.

What is the noise you're making?

Laughter?

I have never heard of it.

Work hard Panda and maybe someday

you'll have ears like mine.

That's good.

Oh...oh, yup.

Ears?

It's not working for you.

I thought they're pretty good.

It's Shifu!

Of course it's Shifu.

What do you think I'm doing?

Master Shifu.

Aahh...

You think this is funny!

Tai Lung has escaped from prison!

And you all are acting like children!

What?

He's coming for the Dragon Scroll and

you're the only one who can stop him.

Ha...and here I am saying you've

got no a sense of humour.

I am gonna... step down.

What? You're serious?

And I have to...aaa...not...

Master Oogway will stop him.

He did it before. He'll do it again.

Oogway cannot!

Not anymore.

Haa?

Our only hope is the Dragon Warrior.

The Panda?

Yes, the Panda!

Master please, let us stop Tai Lung?

This is what you train us for!

No! It is not your destiny to defeat

Tai Lung! It is his!

Where did he go?

You cannot leave!

A real warrior never quit!

Watch me!

Come on! How am I suppose

to beat Tai Lung?

I can't even beat you to the stairs.

You will beat him because

you are the Dragon Warrior.

Ouch!

You don't believe that!

Oh! You never believed that.

From the first moment I got here,

you've been trying to get rid of me.

Yes, I was!

But now I ask you to trust in your Master

as I have come to trust in mine.

You are not my Master.

And I am not the Dragon Warrior.

Then why didn't you quit?

You knew I was trying to get rid of you.

Yet you stayed.

Ya. I stayed.

I stayed because every time

you threw a brick at my head

Or said I smelled, it hurt!

But it could never hurt more than it

did everyday in my life just being me.

I stayed because I thought if anyone

could change me, could make me not me...

...it was you. The greatest

Kung Fu teacher of all of China.

But I can change you! I can turn

you into the Dragon Warrior. And I will!

Come on, Tai Lung is

on his way right now.

And even if it takes him

a hundred years to get here.

How are you going to change

this into the Dragon Warrior?

Hah?

How?

How?

How?

I don't know!

I do not know

That's what I thought.

This is what she trains for it

Tigress!

Don't try and stop me.

We are not trying to stop you.

What?

We are coming with you.

What?

I eat when I am upset, okay!

Oh! No need to explain.

I just thought you might be monkey.

He hides his almond cookies in the top-shelf.

Don't tell Monkey.

Look at you.

Yaaa..!

I know I disgust you.

No, I mean, how did you get up there?

I don't know,...I...

I don't know. Just get the cookies.

And yet you are 10 feet off the ground

and have done a perfect split.

No, this?

This is just an accident!

I know you are trying to be

all mystical and Kung Fu-ee.

But could you least tell me

where we are going?

You drag me all the way

out here for a bath?

Panda, we do not wash our pits

in the pool of sacred tears.

Uuh?...The pool of...

This is where Oogway unraveled

the mysteries of harmony and focus.

This is the birth place of Kung Fu.

Do you want to learn Kung Fu?

Yes

Then I am your Master.

Okay!

Don't cry.

Okay.

When you focus on Kung Fu,

when you concentrate, you stink.

But perhaps that is my fault.

I cannot train you the way I trained the Five.

I see now that the way to get

through to you is with this.

Aah great, cause I am hungry.

Good, when you have been trained

you may eat.

Let's begin.

After you, Panda.

Just like that.

No sit-ups. No, ten-mile hike.

I vowed to train you and you've been

trained. You are free to eat.

Enjoy

Hey!

I said you are free to eat.

Have a dumpling.

You are free to eat.

Am I?

Are you?

I am not hungry.

Master.

Cut it!

Where is the Dragon Warrior?

How do you know you are not looking at her?

You think I'm a fool.

I know you are not the Dragon Warrior.

None of you!

I heard how he fell out of the sky

on a ball of fire.

But he's a warrior unlike anything

in the world has ever seen.

Po?

So that is his name.

Po!

Finally, a worthy opponent.

The battle will be legendary.

We got this, help her.

Monkey!

Jump!

Mantis!

Now!

Shifu, taught you well.

But he didn't teach you everything.

You have done well, Panda.

Done well?

Done well!

I have done awesome!

The mark of a true hero is humility.

But yes,

you have done, awesome.

Five?

Fives!

They're dead.

No, they are breathing.

They're asleep?

No, their eyes are open.

We were no match for

his nerve attack.

He has gotten stronger.

Tai Lung?

Stronger!

He's too fast.

Sorry, Po.

I thought we could stop him.

He could have kill you.

Why didn't he?

So you can come back here...

...and strike fear into our hearts.

But it won't work.

It might. I mean a little.

I'm pretty scared.

You can defeat him, Panda.

Are you kidding?

If they can't... They're Five Masters.

I'm just one me.

But you have the one thing

that no one else does,

You really believe I'm ready.

You are, Po.

Behold, the Dragon Scroll.

It is yours.

Wait.

What happens when I read it?

No one knows.

But legend says you will be able

to hear a butterfly's wings beat.

Wow! Really? That's cool.

Yes!

And see light in the deepest cave.

You will feel the universe in motion around you.

Wow! Can I punch through walls?

Can I do a quadruple back flip?

Focus. Focus. Focus!

Oh, ya...yah.

Read it Po.

And fulfill your destiny.

Read it and become the Dragon Warrior.

Wow...!

It's impossible to open.

Thank you.

Probably, loosen it up for you.

Okay, here goes.

Aargh...!

It's blank.

What?

Here, look.

No, I am forbidden to look upon it.

Blank!

I don't...I don't understand.

Okay. So like Oogway was

just a crazy old turtle after all.

No. Oogway was wiser than us all.

Oh, come on.

Face it. He picked me by accident.

Of course I'm not Dragon Warrior.

Who am I kidding?

But who will stop Tai Lung?

He will destroy everything.

And everyone.

No.

Evacuate the Valley.

You must protect the villagers...

... from Tai Lung's rage.

What about you, Master?

I will fight him.

What?

I can hold him off long enough

for everyone to escape.

But Shifu, he'll kill you.

Then I would have finally

paid for my mistake.

Listen to me, all of you.

It's time for you to continue

your journey without me.

I am very proud to have

been your master.

We got to get them out safely.

Come little one, let's find your Mama.

Viper, gather the southern farmers.

Mantis, the north.

Crane, light the way.

Look, it's the Dragon Warrior.

Hey Dad.
