Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior Page #5

but if we let him hang out with us,

we might as well wait

to buy our clothes on sale, you know?

-Austin, that sounds a little snobby.

-Thank you.

SHEN:
Vote for Wendy.

I don't think

we're gonna have an image problem

with Shen anymore.

Vote for Wendy

for Homecoming Queen.

GIRL:
Yeah, sure, I'll vote for Wendy.

SHEN:
Vote for Wendy.

-Wendy, is that your cousin?

-What did you do?

Vote for Wendy.

SHEN:
Vote for Wendy

for Homecoming Queen.

(GIGGLES ) He went from monk to hunk.

Does he know Tony and I

are fighting a lot?

Sorry, guys, Shen's busy.

SHEN:
Here, take one.

Let's go. You look great.

(LAUGHS DRYLY)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING )

Everybody was talking about you

at school today.

-You're kind of a celebrity.

-Yes, it was fun.

I've never worn anything

except that stupid robe.

Is that why you were so willing

to change?

Buddhists say the tiger is the mightiest

but it is the chameleon who will endure.

You are such a liar.

You did it for me, didn't you?

-Thank you.

-No, thank you.

(EX CLAIMS )

This is good.

What is name of this taste?

-Chocolate. What else?

-Chocolate.

Wait.

You've never had chocolate before?

-Well, don't they have it in China?

-I'm not sure.

I've never come across it

in my reincarnations.

So you remember

every one of your past lives?

Some better than others.

Not all Yin warriors are memorable.

Will I be?

No.

(BOTH LAUGHING )

I do remember

your great-grandmother very well.

-She almost failed.

-Why?

-Was she weak?

-No.

Yan Lo was stronger

and has been getting stronger

every time.

That's why you must train harder

than any of your ancestors.

If I do, will I win?

I hope so,

but you may have to find the strength

within you that I can't teach you,

or this may be the end for me

and you and everything good.

Whoa!

Not too much pressure.

Let's talk about something else.

Tell me about your girlfriends.

You've never had a girlfriend?

What's it like being in love?

I don't know.

I'll tell you when it happens.

You and Austin are not in love?

Look, Austin's a nice guy

but he's only in love with himself.

Then why are you with him?

I guess it's because everyone says

we look good together.

And it'll probably help me

win Homecoming Queen.

An illusion of the heart.

-Another Buddhist saying?

-No, a Shen saying.

(LAUGHING )

Tell you what, since you like

my chocolate cupcakes so much,

I'll make you a bunch for your trip home

when this big battle thing is over.

I will not be going home.

My destiny is to perish during the battle.

What? No! Why?

It is how it has to be.

I must sacrifice myself to save you.

It has been this way

for over 1 ,000 years.

Well, that's a little harsh.

It's all right.

I got to be a real teenager

for a little while.

(BOTH LAUGHING )

Well, maybe we should make it last

a little longer.

(DANCE MUSIC PLA YIN G)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING )

-So, what do you think?

-Oh, this is nothing.

You should see the parties

back at the temple.

-Really?

-No.

(BOTH LAUGHING )

Hey, Wen, guess what?

I'm gonna vote for you.

Thanks.

-Hi, Shen.

-Hi. You know my name?

-You wanna dance?

-Oh, we're kind of together.

I thought he was your cousin.

Oh, yeah.

Go ahead. Have fun.

Can't wait for the weekend

Come on. Come on.

Plus it's a long weekend

Get to stay out late tonight

Hangin' or shoppin'

I never get enough

Don't worry about the moves.

Come on, be yourself.

Be myself?

Yeah, you know, do your own thing.

-That's it.

-What's up, Alvin?

I just wanna have some fun

I'm talking about hangin' out

at the mall

-Hi.

-Where have you been?

I thought we were gonna show up early

and do some campaigning.

And didn't I tell you to wear

the peach-colored shirt?

It goes great with this shirt.

Sorry, I've just been busy lately.

Busy?

-I thought we wanted to win this thing.

-I do.

I just need to spend some time

with Shen right now.

Lean back and swirl it, baby

Well, I'm your boyfriend, not him.

Boyfriend?

We just wanna have some fun

Austin, hasn't this just been

an illusion of the heart?

What does that mean?

You know, I don't know you anymore.

Austin, you never did.

We just wanna have some fun

Look, you and I really don't need

each other to win homecoming.

We just wanna have some fun

I'm talking about hangin' out

Are you breaking up with me?

Some fun, some fun

Some, some, some fun

I guess I am.

(ALL CHEERING )

(FAS T DANCE MUSIC PLA YIN G)

(ALL CHEERING )

-I know that move. I can do it.

-Sure you can.

I can.

Yeah! Yeah!

(CHEERING )

WEND Y:
All right, Shen!

(LAUGHING )

(ALL EX CLAIMING )

Hey, Tory.

Look, I know you think I'm crying.

I'm not, okay?

I've just got a lot going on right now.

Yao Ming? Don't know him.

Which temple is he from?

(ALL LAUGHING )

Before Shen came, all that mattered

was becoming Homecoming Queen,

but it's all different now.

I know. I know.

I sound like a spoiled brat.

But you're one of my best friends

and we can talk about anything, right?

What kind of a chip is this?

Wendy!

-Where's Wendy?

-Oh, she's by the pool.

Wendy!

(SHEN GRUNTING )

(TORY SCREAMING )

(GRUNTING )

(SCREAMING )

Dude, this is the biggest hot tub

I've ever seen.

(WHOOPING )

(ALL CHEERING )

This might be a good time

to finish my training.

You think so?

Tory, what are you doing?

You're wearing my shoes.

LISA:
Austin, pull her out!

This will be great in the yearbook.

TORY:
Austin, will you

get me out of the pool?

(EX CLAIMS )

Oh, cool. Are those souvenirs?

You begin the final step to your training

and these are your teachers.

The tiger for aggression,

the snake for flexibility,

the leopard for speed,

the crane for balance,

and the dragon for invincibility.

Wait. Where's the dragon?

Okay.

But you do know these guys

are just little statues, right?

We'll start with the snake.

(CHANTING )

(GASPS )

Wendy, meet the first master

who will prepare you.

Hi.

-What's he doing?

-Showing you respect.

Why? He doesn't know me.

He has known you for over 1 ,000 years.

-Hold on. This isn't gonna work.

-Yes, it will.

You are stronger than you think.

(SCOFFS ) No, not that.

Look, I can't be seen fighting

some old guy in a park.

It looks bizarre.

I have to live in this town.

Oh, really?

Besides, it won't feel right fighting him.

He didn't do anything to me.

What's up with this?

(CHANTING )

( CELL PHONE BEEPIN G)

Coach Gibbs? Shen, what's going on?

Yan Lo is not the only one

who can possess mortals.

You didn't want to be trained

by my teachers.

How about your teachers?

Okay.

This could be fun.

(SCREAMS )

(GIGGLING )

No way.

(SCREAMS )

Don't let your body be a cage.

Be as fluid as a snake.

I'm trying, Coach. I mean, monk.

(SCREAMING )

(GROANS )

We must try less conventional methods

with this one.

You want me to climb that? Forget it.

Okay.

We just thought

you might want your phone back.

(CELL PHONE RINGING )

(SIGHING )

Fine.

Be as flexible as a snake.

(GRUNTING )
