Po: Do you want to go get some food?
Po: Careful, that soup is - sharp!
[serving a noodle bowl to a customer into which he accidentally pitched a throwing star]
Po: Skadoosh!
Po: There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness.
Tai Lung: You... you're just a big... fat... panda!
Po: I'm not a big fat panda. I'm *the* big fat panda.
Tai Lung: The Wuxi finger hold!
Po: Oh, you know this hold?
Tai Lung: You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that.
Po: Nope. I figured it out. Skadoosh!
Oogway: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
[first lines]
Po: Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend.
Po: It is said that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness!
Mr. Ping: We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins.
Tigress: It is said that the Dragon Warrior can go for months without eating, surviving on the dew of a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe.
Po: Then I guess my body doesn't know I'm the Dragon Warrior yet. It's gonna take a lot more than dew, and, uh, universe juice.
[as Po bounces down the palace steps]
Tigress: If he's smart, he won't come back up those steps.
Monkey: But he will.
Viper: He's not gonna quit is he?
Mantis: He's not gonna quit bouncing, I'll tell you that.
Tigress: You would think that Master Oogway would choose someone who knows kung fu.
Crane: Or be able to touch his toes.
Monkey: Or see his toes.
Po: The Furious Five! You look a lot bigger than your action figures! Except you, Mantis. You're about the same.
Po: The Sword of Heroes! Said to be so sharp you can get cut just by looking at - Ow!
Viper: Are you ready?
Po: I was born read...
[Viper attacks, Po is flung and lands on his head]
Viper: I'm sorry, Brother! I thought you said you were ready.
Po: That was awesome! Let's go again!
Shifu: Po, you're alive... or we're both dead.
Mantis: I'm sorry. It's just so hard to find the nerve centers under all this...
Po: Fat?
Mantis: Fur. I was gonna say fur.
Tai Lung: But he's a panda!
[incredulous]
Tai Lung: You're a panda!
Oogway: [walking towards Po] Ah! It seems that you have found the peach tree of wisdom!
Po: [Po turns around with a lot of peaches stuffed in his mouth] Oh! Is that what this is? I'm so sorry! I just thought it was a regular peach tree!
[watching Tai-Lung break out of his prison restraints]
Zeng: We're dead. Very, very dead.
Tai Lung: What are you going to, big guy? Sit on me?
Po: Don't tempt me.
Po: I just ate... so my kung fu may not be as good as later on.
Shifu: Believe me, citizens, you have not seen anything yet!
Po: I know!
Shifu: [Intercepting Po, who is fleeing the temple after learning he has to face Tai Lung soon.] You cannot leave! A real warrior never quits!
Po: Watch me!
[tries to run around Shifu]
Po: Come on! How am I supposed to beat Tai Lung? I can't even beat you to the stairs!
Shifu: You will beat him because you are the Dragon Warrior!
[pokes Po in his stomach]
Po: You don't believe that!
[Shifu swipes at his hand with Oogway's stick]
Po: You never believed that! From the first moment I got here, you've been trying to get rid of me!
[Shifu knocks him to the ground]
Shifu: Yes! I was! But now I ask you to trust in your master as I have come to trust in mine.
Po: You're not my master. And I'm not the Dragon Warrior.
Shifu: Then why didn't you quit? You knew I was trying to get rid of you, yet you stayed!
Po: Yeah, I stayed. I stayed because everytime you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled; it hurt, but it could never hurt more than everyday of my life just being me. I stayed because I thought if anyone can change me, can make me not me, it was you! The greatest kung fu teacher in all of China!
Shifu: I can change you! I can turn you into the Dragon Warrior! And I will!
Po: Come on! Tai Lung is on his way here right now! And even if it takes him a hundred years to get here, how are *you* gonna change *this* into the Dragon Warrior? Huh? How? How? How!
Shifu: I don't know!
[sighs]
Shifu: I don't know.
Po: [sighs and frowns sadly] That's what I thought.
Shifu: But who? Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? To become the Dragon Warrior?
Oogway: I don't know.
Po: No! The Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors; said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu Army!
[pauses before whispering]
Po: Hello?
Shifu: Have you finished sight-seeing?
Po: [gasp] Sorry, I should've come to see you first.
Shifu: My patience is wearing thin.
Po: Oh, well it's not like you were going anywhere.
Shifu: Our only hope is the Dragon Warrior.
Tigress: The panda?
Shifu: Yes, the panda!
Tigress: Master, please!
[pushes chair out]
Tigress: Let us stop Tai Lung, this is what you've trained us for!
Shifu: No! It is not your destiny to defeat Tai Lung, it is his!
[points at Po, then realizes he's not there]
Shifu: Where'd he go?
Oogway: One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
Shifu: When you focus on kung fu, when you concentrate, you stink.
[Po frowns]
Shifu: But perhaps that is my fault. I cannot train you the way I have trained the Five. I now see that the way to get through to you is with this.
[pulls out a bowl of dumplings]
Po: Oh great, 'cause I am hungry!
Shifu: [laughs] Good. When you have been trained, you may eat. Let's begin.
Tigress: This is just a big joke to you.
[Po makes weird face and Tigress goes to slap him with claws]
Mantis: Wait, wait, my fault! I tweaked his facial nerves! And may have also stopped his heart.
Po: [looking around at the historical artifacts in the palace] Wow! I've only seen paintings of that painting!
Tai Lung: I have come home, master.
Shifu: This is no longer your home and I am no longer your master.
Tai Lung: Oh yes. You have a new favorite. So where is this Po?
[chuckles]
Tai Lung: Did I scare him off?
Shifu: This battle is between you and me.
Tai Lung: So, that is how it's going to be.
Shifu: That is how it must be.
Tai Lung: [growls] I rotted in jail for 20 years because of *your* weakness!
Shifu: Obeying your master is not weakness!
Tai Lung: You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! You always knew! But when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do? Nothing!
Shifu: You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior, that was not my fault!
Tai Lung: Not your fault? Who filled my head with dreams? Who drove me to train until my bones cracked? Who did I feed my destiny!
Shifu: It was never my decision to make!
Tai Lung: [snarls and holds up Oogway's stick] It is now.
Po: Maybe I should just quit and go back to selling noodles.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles?
