Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll

Oogway

[first lines]
Oogway: [voice] Who knows the ways of the universe? Where and when a raindrop might fall? How strongly a wind will blow?

Oogway: [rain falls, thunder rumbles] A cleaner, a comedian, a dancer, and even a little doctor. It was no accident that you found them.
Young Tigress: I failed Shifu.
Oogway: Worse, you are failing yourself. No matter how much you try, you will never be Shifu.
Oogway: [dramatic pause] The question is... can you be Tigress?

Po: [picks up a radish] Nice radish.
Mr. Ping: Po, help! Help me!
Po: Sorry, excuse me, coming through. Dad! I'll protect you from that... pen?
Mr. Ping: I need you to autograph your stuff.
Po: Stuff?
Mr. Ping: Business has doubled since I turned your bedroom into a gift shop.
Po: Gift shop?
Mr. Ping: Dragon Warrior souvenirs with every purchase!
Po: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're selling my stuff?
Mr. Ping: Oh no, no, no, no.
Young Pig: Oh boy, thank you!
Mr. Ping: I'm giving it away.
Po: What? What about my Furious Five figures? Where are they?
Mr. Ping: I put them in the box over there.
Po: This... box?
Mr. Ping: Uh, whoops.
Po: Noooo! No...
Mr. Ping: I'm sorry, Po.
Po: Dad, they're handmade scale replicas with kung fu action! I made them the day I fell in love with kung fu! I have to find them!
Mr. Ping: Po, it was an accident!
Po: [Po starts searching the village frantically] Where are they?
Oogway: Accident... or destiny? Little does Po know that it was just such an *accident* that brought the Furious Five together all those years ago. This is the story of how the Five came to be.

Shifu: Straighten up!
Young Tigress: Yes, Master Shifu.
Shifu: Wider! Lower stance, hold your ground. Steady! Strong! Chin up; this is the way of kung fu.
[grunts]
Oogway: I can't even tell them apart.
Shifu: [grunts] Focus, control!
[Shifu continues to grunt while Tigress does her exercises]
Shifu: [Tigress lets out a small hiss] Control!
Oogway: [Tigress roars and leaps into the air] Ahh, there she is.
Shifu: [Tigress lands on the ground] What are you doing? That's not proper form! This is not control. and stand on your feet!
Young Tigress: I'm sorry, Master, I - I don't know what got into me, I won't let it happen again.
Shifu: I wish I could believe that.
[sighs]
Shifu: 100 laps.
Young Tigress: Yes, Master Shifu.
Shifu: Higher knees!
Young Tigress: Yes, Master Shifu!
Oogway: She wants to make you proud.
Shifu: Well, maybe I could be proud if she was doing the correct form.
Oogway: 'Your' form.
Shifu: Is there another kind?
Oogway: Shifu, an acorn can only become the mighty oak, not a cherry tree. You must let her grow into what she will be.

Young Tigress: Master, it would be an honor to fight for you.
Shifu: No, you are not ready. Oof!
[an ailing Shifu belches from indigestion, while Oogway chuckles]
Shifu: [to the goose] Get me a scroll.
Shifu: [Shifu writes on the scroll] This is a list of four warriors, find them in the Wang Fu village and hurry!
Oogway: No, send Tigress.
Young Tigress: Master, I won't disappoint you.
Oogway: Mmm.
Shifu: Be back before dawn. Do not fail me.
Young Tigress: I will make you proud.
Shifu: Hmm.

Young Tigress: May I add... it was an honor to serve you.
Shifu: Why Tigress, what is this?
[coughs]
Young Tigress: The - the warriors on your list.
Viper: Warriors?
Crane: Uh...
Viper: Where?
Shifu: [reads Po's scroll] This is not my list. Where are the warriors that I sent for?
Warrior: [the four other red panda warriors that Shifu intended to recruit are playing cards back at the temple in Wang Fu] Uh, is it my turn?
Young Tigress: I - I don't understand, it must be an accident.
Oogway: Ah, there are no acci -
[Shifu stops Oogway from completing his sentence]
Young Tigress: Master, forgive me.
Warrior: You disappoint me. Who will defend the valley now?
Crane: Wait, we can help Tigress.
Young Tigress: What?
Crane: We can... fight... a little... bit.
Viper: Yes, you can count me in, too.
Monkey: Let's do this.
Mantis: I'm not actually even a doctor, so I'm in.
Shifu: You can help by leaving.
Monkey: Okay, bye.
Young Tigress: No, no, Master, please listen. I have seen them, they have skills.
Shifu: But they are not the warriors I sent for!
Young Tigress: It's been an honor to know you.
Monkey: Oh...
Viper: But, Tigress...

Shifu: Why Tigress, what is this?
[coughs]
Young Tigress: The - the warriors on your list.
Viper: Warriors?
Crane: Uh...
Viper: Where?
Shifu: [reads Po's scroll] This is not my list! Where are the warriors that I sent for?
[coughs]
Warrior: [the four red panda warriors that Shifu intended to recruit are playing cards back at the temple in Wang Fu] Oh, is it my turn?
Young Tigress: I - I don't understand, it... must be an accident.
Oogway: Ah, there are no acci-
