Get to be

Mei. Su.

- To slouch when I sit|- To eat a whole cake

- Feel the sun on my feet|- Get dirty

- Act silly|- Be anything I want to be

- Dance around|- In my underwear

- To run really fast|- To get rid of this fan

- To eat a whole cake|- Get crazy

- With frosting, no manners|- No escorts, no nursemaids

No worries|No hands folded perfect

Like holding a lily

No pinchy shoes?

I want to be like other girls

Scrape up my knee like other girls can

Just to be free like other girls

Get to be

- To speak for myself|- To sing way off-key

Marry someone I've met|Who loves me for me

No escorts, no manners, no nursemaids,|No worries, no hands folded perfect

Like holding a lily

No pinchy shoes

I want to be like other girls

Climb up a tree like other girls can

Just to be free like other girls

Get to be

She defied you.

She insulted you.

- She laughed at your map.|- My map.

And if she's laughing to your face,

imagine what she's saying|behind your back.

Behind my back.

She's a loose cannon.|She's out of control.

- She's out of control.|- Who's in charge here?

- You? Or Mulan?|- I'm in charge.

Mulan... Mulan!

Mulan?

General Shang?|No, that's not it.

General Shang?|Hello, it's me, Mulan.

General Shang...

Shang, Shang, Shang.

I got it.

General Shang? General Hardhead,|that's what they should call him.

- Everything's got to have a strategy.|- Mulan?

The man won't brush his teeth|without a back-up plan.

- What?|- I blame myself.

I fell for those broad shoulders.

I didn't realise there wasn't|much sitting on top of them.

Except for that garlic breath.

That boy can peel paint.

That's enough.|Where is she?

I am good.

- Mulan!|- Why, hello, General.

Out on night maneuvers?

General Hardhead?|Brushing my teeth?

- Something wrong?|- I heard you.

- Every word.|- Every word of what?

Don't play coy.|I saw you outside my tent.

What? I haven't left my post.

I suppose you weren't gossiping|about me with the princesses.

Did that dip in the river|get you waterlogged?

And why are you talking with|your hand over your mouth?

I wouldn't want to peel your paint.

Changing of the guard.

And next time,|don't leave your post.

What's with him?

What's with her?

Who am I talking to?

How could he not believe me?

I don't know, girlfriend.|But I do know this...

Without trust,|there can be no relationship.

And that man don't trust you.

Maybe he was just confused.

You fussed about the arranged marriage,|then about which way to Qui Gong.

Now y'all feuding over nothing.|It seems clear.

You're right.

- I don't know what to do.|- I do. It's simple.

Drop him like a hot potsticker.|Kick him to the curb.

Burn his letters and dance around|the fire yelling, "Happy days are here."

You have a point.|If this is the real Li-Shang,

I don't like what I'm seeing.

I hope the tea's still warm.

- After you.|- No, after you.

- No, after you.|- After you.

I said, after you.

- You. I'm gonna...|- Yao!

- Is everything all right?|- No.

I mean, yes.

You see, Chien-Po here|has always had a dream.

- A dream?|- A dream?

- A dream.|- But I don't...

That dream.

A dream of seeing a small village

in the middle of nowhere|by the moonlight.

- How can we help?|- Well...

If Your Highnesses would consent|to come with us to the village,

we could still guard you,|and Chien-Po could have his dream.

My one chance|to be like other guys.

- Can we please?|- Please, please.

Sounds like fun.

Oh, we're sorry.

We're off.

I never noticed|we were so different.

It's like I don't even know him.

Well, what do you know about that?

I mean, I know|he's "by the book,"

but doesn't the man ever bend a rule?

Speaking of bending rules...

You know, relationships are easy|when everything runs nice and smooth.

Nice and smooth|just ran out of camp.

- What?|- Did you know almonds, rice and milk

are part of a complete breakfast?

I'm trying to tell you|the princesses went AWOL.

- Where are the guards?|- Showing them the way.

They're together?

- Together together?|- Don't you understand Chinese?

Hey, what about old Shang-hai?

I think I'd better handle|this one on my own.

Shang's on a short fuse, as it is.

Just make sure|nothing wakes him up.

You can count on me.

Where are the guards?|The princesses!

"My duty is to my heart?"

Mulan.

Get your ticket.|The show's about to begin.

Wow.

Look at all the food.

We just got in|some excellent ginger.

Ginger. That goes very well|with dumplings.

- Did you say dumplings?|- How about some fresh ginseng?

That makes a wonderful accompaniment|to soy beans.

One order of soy beans.

Oh, my.

Who will be next to challenge|the undefeated Shi Rongkai?

- Step aside.|- Yao.

You'll be killed, little man.

Where'd he go?

Yao! You're my hero.

Pick a prize, any prize.

Which one do you want, sir?

Gimme that one.

Okay, how about this one?

What does Attila say|when he walks through the door?

Hun, I'm home.

I give up. I guess I'm not|as funny as I think.

What a cute laugh.

No. I hate my laugh.

What? It's adorable.

I thought you didn't have|a sense of humor.

No sense of humor?

It's so beautiful.

Yeah.

It's the same moon|we see from the palace.

No, this one is entirely different.

You're right.

I know I've never|seen anything like it.

I'm listening.

We... that is...

I... all of us...

Oh, boy.

Fa Mulan, it's love.|Yao and myself,

- Chien-Po and Su...|- And myself and Lingy-Bear.

I mean, Ling.

Group hug.

I'm so happy for all of you.

- General Shang.|- General Shang.

Oh, boy.

Excuse me.|Excuse me.

Don't worry.|I'll handle this.

I'm so sorry to break up|your little party.

This is gonna be good.

Before you jump to conclusions,|let me explain.

Fine. Why don't we start with this?

- That's mine.|- All yours?

Or did you have help?|"And so, my dear father,

I cannot complete this mission."

"l have come to realise that|my duty is to my heart."

- Who does that sound like?|- Mei never meant to send it.

Your Highnesses, you swore a vow|to be married in Qui Gong.

If your father saw you now,|breaking that vow,

what would he say?

You three are to escort their highnesses|back to their tents immediately.

You are to guard them. You are not|to enter their tents or speak to them.

Not a word. Ever.|Am I understood?

Yes, sir.

- The problem isn't as bad as it seems.|- The problem is you.

What?

You place your feelings|above everything.

Duty, obligation, tradition,|it all means nothing to you.

It means everything to me.

My heart tells me my duty|and I follow it.

You're a brilliant warrior.

You're brave, you're loyal,|but you don't trust your heart.

Sometimes I wonder|if you even have one.

This assignment has made it clear.

We are very different people.

Maybe too different.

Fine.

We have a mission to complete.

Fine.

Isn't it a great day?

I see pretty boy isn't talking to you.

And you're not talking to pretty boy.

You know, you can always talk to me.

Wait till she realises|what I've done for her.
