Act 1[]
[ Po, dressed in his Legendary Warrior outfit, appears over the horizon with a sword, facing what looks like an opponent.]
PO
Steel yourself against my steel, villain!
[He jumps and lands, shedding his cloak and hat, and slices apart his foe, which is revealed to be an onion.]
PO
Your reign of tears is over! [He smiles and is suddenly in the noodle shop kitchen. He turns to Mr. Ping.] I got the onion, Dad!
MR. PING
I'll get the bok choy! [He slices some vegetables.] Hi-yah!
PO
I'll get the radish! [He leaps up and slices some floating vegetables.]
MR. PING
Chop it fine, son! Chop it fine!
[They add vegetables and other ingredients to a cooking pot.]
PO
Carrots!
MR. PING
Mushroom!
PO
Ginger!
MR. PING
Leeks!
PO
Garlic!
MR. PING
Soy sauce!
PO
Beets!
MR. PING
[slapping Po's paw away] No beets!
PO
[Frowning] But I like beets.
MR. PING
Shh! One final ingredient... noodles! [Mr. Ping flies up, wondrously gathering a mass of noodles and sending them into the pot.]
RABBIT CUSTOMER
One noodle soup! [Mr. Ping pours a bowl and adds parsley, then gives it to the rabbit, who tastes it. His eyes widen ecstatically and a splash of light shoots from him.] SOOOO DELICIOOOOUS! [He floats away.]
PO
Dad, this dream is awesome!
MR. PING
It's the noodle dream.
[Suddenly the noodle shop tears away, and they find themselves in a gray, dismal area. In a flash, Tai Lung suddenly appears and grows to an enormous size.]
PO
Tai Lung? I thought you were dea-- [He is interrupted as Tai Lung's giant paw squashes him and picks him up. The snow leopard dangles Po over his mouth.]
MR. PING
Wait! Please don't eat my son! [He pulls out a bowl of soup.] Have some delicious noodle soup.
RABBIT CUSTOMER
[Floating by] Sooo delicious...
PO
Don't worry, Dad. I got it under control. [Tai Lung throws Po and opens his mouth to eat him.]
MR. PING
Noooooooo!
[As Po falls, his body grows until he is as giant as Tai Lung. He lands on him. He levitates in the air as Tai Lung tries to attack, and kicks him away where the snow leopard vanishes in a burst of light, which Po follows.]
MR. PING
Wait, wait! Where are you going? We're cooking together!
PO
[Now dressed again in his cloak and hat.] Sorry, Dad, but evil doesn't take a holiday. And neither do I... Goodbye, Dad. [He leaves and Mr. Ping goes after him. Meanwhile, the cooking stove in the background turns into a glowing blue monster.]
MR. PING
Po, don't go! Don't go, my son! You can't leave me alone. I need you... [The stove captures and drags him into its mouth as Mr. Ping screams.]
[Mr. Ping awakes in his in bed crying out.]
MR. PING
Po!
PO
[Crashing into the room in a kung fu pose, ready to fight.] Hi-yah! Dad, where'd they go? What'd they look like?
MR. PING
Oh, I was dreaming! It was awful! We were cooking... but then, you left me. Now how could you leave me! [He sobs.]
PO
Dad, it was just a dream. I'm not going anywhere. [He walks out of the room.] Now come on down. I got all the decorations out.
MR. PING
Oh, thank you, Po. You're such a good son. [He eyes the entrance and follows Po down the stairs.] Hmm. You owe me seventeen yuan for a new door.
[Po opens a chest and picks up a paper lantern with a drawing of him and Mr. Ping on it.]
PO
Whoa, right on top! It's the sun lantern I made when I was a cub.
MR. PING
You know why it was on top, Po? Because I opened the box this summer just to look at it. I love Winter Festival so much, sometimes I just can't wait.
PO
I know, the decorations!
MR. PING
The party games!
PO
The dancing. Huh, Dad? The danciiiing! [He takes Mr. Ping and swings him around as the goose laughs. Po lets go.] Noodles!
[Mr. Ping stumbles around dizzy and Po starts devouring a whole pot of noodles. Neither notice the sudden approach of Master Shifu.]
SHIFU
Morning, Dragon Warrior.
PO
[He drops the pot, mouth full, and turns. He straightens and slurps down the remaining noodles.] I was just practicing my... empty belly defense.
SHIFU
Mr. Ping, may I borrow Po for a moment?
MR. PING
Well, actually, we're very busy decorating for the... holidays... [His words go unnoticed as Shifu speaks to Po.]
SHIFU
Po, I've come to talk to you about the Winter Feast at the Jade Palace. You will be--
PO
[With excitement] Be coming? The Winter Feast? With the kung fu masters from all the provinces?
SHIFU
No, Po. You will not be invited. [Po's face falls in disappointment.] You will be hosting.
PO
Me? Ho-ho-hosting? [He cheers.]
SHIFU
Wonderful news, is it not? As the Dragon Warrior, this is one of your most critical duties.
PO
Wow... Thank you, Shifu.
[He and Shifu walk together outside as Mr. Ping listens in]
SHIFU
Po, this is a big opportunity for you. Your first time with all the kung fu masters...
PO
The Winter Feast is legendary! I'll bet you got the best, biggest, brightest sun lanterns, and dancing--
SHIFU
Po, stop, stop. This is the Winter Feast. [A scene portraying guests in silvery clothing and headdresses at a table is seen.] It is perfection. Always elegant. Always formal.
PO
Awesome, awesome. I'm all about elegant. Fancy stuff, and fine dinin'...
SHIFU
[He pauses as he looks at him.] You have some noodle in your neck fat.
PO
Hmm? Oh.[Po notices it and eats the noodle.]
SHIFU
What I am saying, Po, is that dancing and sun lanterns... those are common traditions.
PO
So common. [Mr. Ping follows them not far behind, still listening in.] I mean, dancing? Come on. Sun lanterns? [Blows raspberry.] Heh! [In a sing-song voice] Weak! [He turns to Mr. Ping, who looks less than thrilled.] Dad, isn't this great?
[Mr. Ping laughs weakly.]
[A pig villager approaches.]
PIG VILLAGER
Dragon Warrior! Please come quickly! There are bandits at the bridge!
PO
What? [He readies his fists.] I'm on it. [He runs off.] See ya, Dad! Thanks again, Master Shifu!
[Mr. Ping stutters as if to call after him, and turns to Shifu.]
SHIFU
Mr. Ping. [He gestures in farewell and turns to leave.]
[Mr. Ping takes a step as if to call after him as well, but he says nothing. He sighs as he stands alone in the noodle shop.]
Act 2[]
[Po is seen running across the bridge and joins the Furious Five in the fight.]
PO
Hyah! Hey, guys! You excited about the Winter Feast? Guess what? Master Shifu just told me I'll be joining you this year.
CRANE
The feast is intense! All the Masters at one table.
VIPER
For one perfect feast.
MANTIS
It's an honor to be invited!
PO
Actually, I'm not just invited. Hyah! [He hits a bandit.] I'm hosting!
[Suddenly the Furious Five stop fighting.]
FURIOUS FIVE
What?!
BOAR BANDIT
Wouldn't be my choice.
[Po headbutts the boar bandit.]
PO
What?
[While they keep talking about the Winter Feast they continue attacking a bandit.]
MONKEY
The feast at the palace is very...
VIPER
Elegant.
MANTIS
It's a very, uh, sophisticated event.
PO
Why does everyone think I can't do sophisticated?
[He temporarily KO the boar bandit by sitting on his neck.]
CRANE
I... have no idea.
TIGRESS
It's just that we think maybe you could use a little help.
PO
Tigress, I got this. It's a dinner, eating, entertainment. How much do you have to know?
[The bandit Po knocked out gets up and so Po punches him on the face.]
BANDIT
Oof!
[The scenery suddenly changes and Po is seen walking with Shifu inside of the Jade Palace, which is crowded with workers as part of preparations for the Feast.]
SHIFU
There are eighteen gestures you must memorize for the right hand, nineteen for the left.
PO
Nineteen for the right, nineteen-- eighteen for the left...
[While Shifu and Po keep walking through the Palace, Shifu stops, having met Feng, near the big table where the all the Masters will meet during the Feast.]
SHIFU
This is Feng, the Palace artist. He will do your official portrait.
[Feng begins to make a portrait of Po.]
PO
Pleased to mee-- OW! What? [Feng gives to Po a portrait of him which he had just painted.] Okay, I'm gonna need a do-over. I think I was blinking.
[They continue the tour and they approach the table of the Masters, which has over a part of the necessary to set the table.]
SHIFU
This is where you will seat all of the kung fu masters.
PO
My dad is gonna love this feast! You know, he's never even been to the Palace.
[They stop near the table.]
SHIFU
I am sorry, Po. There are no guests allowed.
PO
I can't bring my dad? But he's my dad. We always spend the holiday together!
SHIFU
I understand, Po. I remember the day I departed my family and committed myself entirely to the duties of kung fu. You are the Dragon Warrior now, and therefore this is your duty above all other bonds.
[They continue walking.]
SHIFU
Now, in your quest for perfection, these instructions must be executed to the letter. Guard these scrolls containing...
[While Shifu is talking, Po becomes overwhelmed and suddenly starts seeing various objects float around him. Some of them land into his arms.]
SHIFU
... the ancient recipes ... flaked jasmine, never ground ... learn to chant the traditional ... greeting of the Masters... magnificent...
SHIFU
... the Golden Ladle. [All the floating objects disappear when Shifu says the Golden Ladle. Po find himself with a lot of stuff between his hands.]
PO
Wha...?
[Shifu gives Po a box and places it on the top of the bunch of stuff, which Po has in his arms.]
SHIFU
Po, hire a chef, present them with the Golden Ladle.
PO
Hmm.
SHIFU
Do you have any questions?
PO
Uh-uh!
SHIFU
Po, do not let me down. [He turns and walks away.]
PO
Don't worry, Master Shifu, I got everything under controooll... [All the objects he had in his arms fall down, then Feng made a portrait of him while he started picking up the objects off from the ground.
[The scenery then changes into the Palace Arena. Po is sitting behind a table at the bottom of the stairs inside the Arena, with a line of chefs in front of him and some assistants at his side.]
ZENG
Ahem! Master Po, we have brought you the finest chefs in China. You'll sample their dishes and make your choice.
PO
Yeah!
ZENG
The chef you select will receive the Golden Ladle. [An assistant show to Po the Golden Ladle.] Let us begin.
PO
All righty!
ZENG
Ahem, Master Po, I present Chef Wo Hop of the Heilongjiang Province.
WO HOP
[A small bunny walks up and places a basket of a decorative vegetable salad on the table in front of Po.] Sir! It is a privilege for me and the citizens of my village to be considered for this great...
[While Wo Hop is talking, Monkey suddenly enters through the door of the Palace Arena and waves to Po.]
MONKEY
Hi, Po!
PO
[Waving to Monkey] Hey!
WO HOP
Ah! Oh! Aah! [Wo Hop is suddenly dragged away viciously by two assistants.]
PO
What just happened?!
ZENG
Oh, um, as host of the festival, every gesture of yours has meaning. You just gave him the ancient Hun Shu Wave of Dismissal.
PO
The what? Is that a thing?! It doesn't even sound like a thing.
ZENG
He has brought great dishonor upon himself and his village, and they will be shamed for all of eternity.
[The scene changes into a 2D sequence, where two geese drag Wo Hop to his village and then deconstruct a section of the Great Wall of China. They rebuild around Wo Hop and his village leaving them exposed to barbarians which come attack and destroy the village.]
PO
No, no. I was just waving to Monkey! Can't we just get the rabbit back?
ZENG
Oh... You're serious? I'll, uh, ahem, I'll get the other chefs...
PO
Wow, this Feast is intense, right? [He gives a nudge to a pig assistant beside him.] And I just found out that I can't be with my dad... Wait a minute, of course! [To the pig assistant] You're absolutely right! I'll choose my dad! Then I'll get to spend the holiday with him. Brilliant! You are good. Come here, you little... [He hugs the pig assistant.]
PIG ASSISTANT
Agh!
PO
[To himself] Okay, gotta get rid of these guys. Hate the food, hate the food...
[Po begins to taste and judge the foods of the cooks.]
PO
Mmm! Huh? Oh, this... isn't really what we're looking for. Ah. No, No. No. Mmm, no. No. This isn't really your year. No. Nope. Nuh-huh. Nah. No. Ah, Eh. Mm-mm.
[He then tastes the meal of an antelope chef.]
PO
Ew, sorry. That one really is bad.
ANTELOPE CHEF
Ohh...
[He continues the tasting of the foods.]
PO
No. No, none of these will do.
[Po after tasted most of the foods take the Golden Ladle from an assistant, who was following him.]
PO
[In referral to the Golden Ladle] I'll take that. Thank you, nice try everyone, see you next year! [Po eats the food of the last cook.] Mmm. Awful.
[Po comes out from the Palace Arena.]
ZENG
Master Po! We haven't picked a chef...
[The scene changes with Po and Mr. Ping at the noodle restaurant. Po just placed the Golden Ladle in his father's wings.]
MR. PING
Ohh, the Golden Ladle...
PO
Yeah!
MR. PING
I'm holding it!
PO
Yeah.
MR. PING
To be asked to prepare a meal for all the great kung fu masters. What an extraordinary honor. Heh, when is it?
PO
Tomorrow night.
MR. PING
Oh, that won't work. [He hands the ladle back to Po.]
PO
What? Why?
MR. PING
Po, that's the holiday!
PO
Exactly!
MR. PING
Well, I cannot leave the restaurant. [Mr. Ping takes away the bowls of the costumers and goes in front of the kitchen door.]
PO
Why not?
MR. PING
What about our friends? What about those lonely people who have no place else to go? We give them a place to call home. There's always room for one more at Mr. Ping's!
PO
Okay, Dad, I appreciate that you care for all the lonely people--
MR. PING
And lonely people pay extra. [Mr. Ping enters in his kitchen with Po.]
PO
But, Dad, I need you. The Feast is tomorrow. I just fired all the best chefs in the land!
MR. PING
Huh! The best chefs in the land, huh? Really? You think your fancy palace ladle is better than mine? [Mr. Ping picks up a ladle from a pot, which breaks.] This is not my 'A' ladle.
PO
Dad, look, I didn't mean that. It's just I thought this was a way for us to be together on the holiday.
MR. PING
I want us to be together.
PO
But I can't be here! I have responsibilities to Shifu!
MR. PING
So be there with Shifu. Don't you see my big smiling with happiness for you? [He starts giggling.]
PO
No, no, no, come on, Dad; don't make me feel guilty about this! What, uh, what do you expect me to do?!
MR. PING
I expect you to do the right thing, Po. [Mr. Ping approaches the paper lantern which he had made with Po time ago.] Here, son. You should have this on the holiday.
[Po takes the lantern and sighs in frustration.]
Act 3[]
[Po enters and walks into the Palace Arena, where there's no one except for Shifu.]
PO
How could my dad say no? [Mimicking his father] 'I'd rather you stay here, do my holiday thing with me!' Yeah, fine, whatever! Well, what about me, Dad?! Now I gotta cook all alone!
SHIFU
Po...
PO
Hmm? Huh? Whoa! Shifu, hey!
SHIFU
All alone? You do not have a chef yet?
PO
No, no. Of course I have a chef. You kidding? No chef? That would be a disaster... hmm. [With nervous behavior.]
[Po enters in the Jade Palace.]
PO
Agh! I gotta get a chef. Aah! Agh! [He stumbles and founds Wo Hop.]
WO HOP
Pardon me.
PO
Bunny! Oh, awesome, a real chef. Listen, I know we got off to kind of a rocky start, what with me shaming you in your village for all eternity and whatnot. But if you could start dicing those carrots...
WO HOP
I am not here to dice carrots. I am here to fight you.
PO
[Confused, he raises an eyebrow.] Huh?
WO HOP
The only way I can lift the veil of shame is to fight the Dragon Warrior. Surely I will die, but it will restore my honor.
[Wo Hop pulls out a cooking spoon and begins to attack Po vainly.]
PO
What are you doing? Ow, come on, I don't wanna hurt you. Look, bunny, I get this whole honor thing, but this isn't kung fu. You're biting me. [Wo Hop bites Po on his foot and then continues the attack, wriggling upon him. This tickles Po and he laughs.] Look, bu-bunny, I have enough on my plate between cooking and my dad guilting me. Get up... What is it with parents and the holidays?
[Wo Hop temporally stops fighting to talk with Po.]
WO HOP
Sometimes, they love us too much. But it is not my place to say. It is my place to die! Huh!
PO
Oh, you gotta be kidding me. [He lifts Wo Hop with his hands.]
WO HOP
How dare you?!
[Po puts Wo Hop in a jar and, after closing it, puts a large bag of flour on top of it.]
PO
Okay. There you go.
WO HOP
Let me... [He speaks from the inside of the jar.]
[While Po is doing this, Monkey and Crane arrive.]
MONKEY
Po, the table is not set. Have you started cooking?
CRANE
We've all had our fittings. Are you ready?
PO
I'm on it!
[The scenery suddenly changes by "sliding" out of the screen, moving from the kitchen to the sewing room.]
PO
[He suddenly spits the broth in the face of the tailor pig.] Uh-oh, sorry.
TAILOR PIG
Ow! [The pig puts on him his hat for the Feast.]
[A second sudden change of scenery occurs from the sewing room to the Palace Arena, where we found Po chiseling an ice dragon.]
PO
Wait. Da, da, da...
[Another sudden change of scenery, from the Palace Arena to the inside of the Jade Palace, where now Po, who still has the hammer with which he was chiseling the ice dragon, breaks a vase, suddenly faced in front of him.]
PO
Uhh!
[Another sudden change of scenery, from the inside of the Jade Palace to Mr. Ping's, where you see Mr. Ping chopping some carrots and complain about his son's absence.]
MR. PING
Of course he's never here when you need him!
[Another sudden change of scenery, from Mr. Ping's to the inside of the Jade Palace. Po picks up the pieces of the vase, which he had broken just a moment ago, and with another sudden change of setting, he found himself in front of Crane, with the pieces of the vase still in his hands.]
CRANE
Uh, Po, the vocalist for the band quit.
[Behind Crane, there are three goose singers.]
GOOSE SINGER 1
I've been waiting for this moment my whole life! [Then he sings tunelessly.]
PO
Let's just go instrumental.
[Another sudden change of scenery, from the inside of the Jade Palace to the Palace Arena, where Shifu notices what Po had done to the ice dragon.]
SHIFU
This is an embarrassment!
[Another sudden change of scenery, from the inside of the Jade Palace to Mr. Ping's, where Mr. Ping is carrying some boxes.]
MR. PING
Oh, Po! Whoa! [He drops accidentally the boxes.]
[Another sudden change of scenery, from Mr. Ping to the kitchen of the Jade Palace.]
WO HOP
Ha ha! [He manages to get out of the vase where Po had imprisoned him.]
[The scenery changes into another section of the kitchen. Wo Hop tries to attack Po with a ladle.]
PO
Ow! Bunny!
[Po, angered, picks up an hammer in order to hit Wo Hop, but suddenly the scenery changes again and is now facing the tailor pig in the sewing room.]
PO
Uh, sorry.
[So Po accidentally hammers to his ceremonial hat, but the tailor picks up immediately another identical one and puts it on Po's head.]
TAILOR PIG
Ah!
[Another change of scenery from the sewing room to the Palace Arena. Po accidentally hits the head of the ice dragon and it falls down.]
PO
Ow!
[Another change of scenery from the Palace Arena to Mr. Ping's, where you see Mr. Ping cooking when a customer, with two children, approaches him.]
BUNNY COSTUMER
Hi, we'd like two--
MR. PING
We're not open yet!
[A bunny child with the bunny customer breaks into crying.]
[Another change of scenery from Mr. Ping's to the Palace Arena, where Po picks up the severed head of the ice dragon, trying to put that back on the neck of the statue, but then, due to another sudden change of setting, Po finds himself again in the inside of the Palace. So he drops the head of the dragon and breaks some dishes on the table.]
[Another change of scenery from the inside of the Palace to the kitchen, which is on fire, where Po is suddenly busy in cooking.]
[Another change of scenery from the kitchen to the sewing room of the Palace, where the tailor pig throws a bucket of water on Po's hat, which was on fire due to the burning which took place in the kitchen.]
[Another change of scenery from the sewing room to the inside of the Place, where is show Shifu complaining about the mess which Po had done by breaking some dishes with the head of the ice dragon.]
SHIFU
This is not right!
[All the settings now begin to cycle faster and faster. While this happens, various characters that Po had met (such as Wo Hop) and Feng’s portraits of him float magically in the air. At the end, the cycling settings suddenly stop and Po finds himself in the Palace kitchen with Wo Hop.]
PO
Oh! This is a total disaster... Now I'm gonna disappoint everyone. My dad, the Furious Five, Shifu... [He says sadly.]
WO HOP
And me. I'm not dead yet.
PO
What kind of Dragon Warrior am I if I can't even pull off a dinner?!
WO HOP
I guess kung fu can't solve everything.
PO
That's it! Bunny, you're brilliant! Mantis! Crane! Monkey! [He runs into the Palace Arena.] This may be our greatest challenge ever!
MONKEY
Bandits?
VIPER
Raiders?
PO
No. Place settings.
[The Furious Five smile and sigh.]
[The scenery changes and you see Po and the Furious Five begin the preparations for the Winter Feast by setting the table, where the Masters will meet, in the inside of the Jade Palace.]
PO
Tigress, the Tahlia Leap!
TIGRESS
On it. [She throws some lanterns, which have threads pending from them, toward the ceiling.]
PO
Viper, Stars of Destiny!
VIPER
Whoo-ah! [She throws some shuriken on the thread of the lanterns in order to hang them on the ceiling.]
PO
Yeah! Mantis, Pinwheel Attack!
[Mantis, with a kick on the table, raises the plates and distributes them around the table by hitting them with his arms.]
PO
Ah, yeah! You guys are the best! And you, bunny, if you even want me to think about your death with honor, you're gonna have to help me in the kitchen! Let's go!
[While Po and Wo Hop (who in the meantime tries to kill himself in various ways but is always stopped by Po) cook, Crane and Monkey continue to set the table. At the end of the work, Po and the others are seen in front of the neatly-prepared Masters' table and look around, proud of their hard work.]
PO
Twenty-nine place settings, forty chopsticks each. We did it! We did it! Ha ha! Every detail just right.
CRANE
Even down to the ground jasmine.
PO
Ground jasmine? It was supposed to be flaked! I'll be right back!
[Po runs away and goes out of the Jade Palace.]
TIGRESS
Hurry!
VIPER
The masters are arriving!
PO
I promised Shifu it would be perfeeee... [He slips off the top stair and begins to fall all the way down the Palace stairs.]
Act 4[]
[After falling down the stairs, Po lands in the village.]
SHEEP CITIZEN
Happy Feast! [He is waved to by a sheep citizen after he had taken the flaked jasmine.]
PO
Yeah, same to you. [While he walks, some children come through his path.] Whoa, hey, hey. Look out, Dragon Warrior comin' through!
PO
Okay, hurry, Po. Hurry, Po. [Whispering to himself.]
[He then stops and looks around the village in wonder at all the families. He stops to look in a window of a house.]
BUNNY CITIZEN
You made it!
GOOSE CITIZEN
Of course! I'd never miss it!
CHILD CITIZEN
It looks so yummy. I wanna go first!
PIG CITIZEN
Eat up!
BUNNY DAD
Here you go! [Po sees from the window a bunny raising his son in order to allow him to hang his paper lantern, one of the same type of the one which Po had done with Mr. Ping.]
CITIZEN
[In background] That's the one I want.
BUNNY CHILD
Thanks, Daddy.
[Po sadly looks at the Jade Palace, then the scenery changes to show Po and all the other Masters around the table in the Palace.]
SHIFU
Beautiful, elegant, perfect. You've made me proud. All twenty-nine kung fu schools and their masters. Excellent, excellent.
[Po begins to beat his chopsticks on the plate, so all the others Masters do the same.]
SHIFU
Po!
[Po throws away his chopsticks and so do the other Masters.]
SHIFU
Ahem. Dragon Warrior, would you honor us by reciting the opening words to the Creed of the Masters?
[Po looks at the paper lantern which he had made with his dad, holding it in his hands.]
SHIFU
Po...
PO
I can't, Master Shifu.
SHIFU
[Whispers] I thought you might forget the words, Po, so I took the liberty of writing them on your napkin. Let me just--
PO
That's not it...
[Po stands up, and so do the other masters.]
PO
No, no, everyone, please. Okay, please, no... you don't have to... [He tries to make understand that there is no need that the others have to stand up, but he fails.] Okay, well, they're off.
[Everyone look each other wondering what Po is going to do or say.]
PO
Anyway, um, let me just say something. The Creed of the Masters is amazing. It's, like, the coolest creed ever. And, uh, you masters, how cool are you guys? [He looks at all the others.] I don't even know how to tell you... Master Rhino? Forget about it! You're more awesomely skilled and, you know, wrinkly than I'd ever dreamed you'd be. And, uh, Master Sheep, fluffy and incredible...
SHEEP
[Whispering] Mm-hmm, it's true.
PO
Uh, the five, it's just... such an honor to be here with all you guys: my heroes. But every feast, my dad and I spend all day cooking together. And the whole neighborhood shows up. And it gets really loud and crazy, and my Uncle Yang ends up laughing so hard noodles spurt out his nose...
CRANE
[Whispering] I'd like to see that.
MONKEY
[Whispering] Me too.
PO
So, uh, I wish I could stay and... be a good host, but... I think I need to leave, and... [Po takes off and puts on the table his coat as he's looking at Shifu.] ...be a good son.
[Po left the palace and the masters begin to wondering what was happening.]
SHEEP
What's going on?
CRANE
What are we supposed to...?
SHIFU
Po! Come back here!
VIPER
Ah, I used to love cooking with my sisters...
TIGRESS
The folk dances.
CRANE
Games, the music.
SHIFU
Whoa! Wait! What about our traditions?! Who will recite the creed?!! Somebody do something!
GOOSE SINGER
[He, who was right behind Shifu, begins to sing jarring.]
SHIFU
Aaah... [He sighs sadly.]
[They scenery changes to Mr. Ping at the noodle restaurant. Po arrives to his father, who was having trouble carrying a large pot.]
PO
I got that, Dad. [He catches from the behind his father with the pot.]
MR. PING
Po? Ah, You came! Oh, Po, I'm... I'm sorry I made you feel so guilty.
PO
Nah, don't be. That's what the holidays are all about. Now, don't we have some cookin' to do?
[So the two begin cooking, while some citizens are arriving to the restaurant.]
[After prepared a noodle soup they taste it.]
PO
It needs...
PO & MR. PING
Garlic!
[They put the soup in many plates.]
[The restaurant in the meanwhile had become crowded. Then also the Furious Five arrive.]
VIPER
Table for five!
PO
Hey! [Po and Mr. Ping greet their friends and the Five while they holds two trays as the citizens take their plate of soup from this ones.]
MONKEY
Hey, Po!
CITIZEN
Love your soup, Mr. Ping! [Voice in the background.]
[Monkey takes his soup.]
PO
You guys! Welcome!
TIGRESS
Happy holiday, Po! [She takes her soup from a tray.]
MR. PING
The more the merrier!
MANTIS
Thank you, Mr. Ping. [Mantis takes his soup from a tray.]
MR. PING
The little one pays full price, but eats like a child! [Whispering to Po.]
MR. PING
Welcome!
[Master Rhino and the other Masters enter in the restaurant.]
CHILD CITIZEN
Master Rhino, come sit with me!
PO
Whoa!
[Suddenly you see Wo Hop who comes down from the roof of the restaurant ready to fight Po.]
PO
Master Wo Hop. [Po shows the Golden Ladle to Wo Hop, who, at the sight of this one, calms down.]
WO HOP
Ohh!
PO
I believe this belongs to you.
WO HOP
The golden ladle?! Thank you, dragon warrior. Now I have restored my honor and the honor of my village!
[It's shown a sequence where we see the Great Wall of China which becomes enlarged again to re-include the Wo Hop's village in the safe area.]
PO
Glad to be of help.
[Crane notices a pig spurting noodles from his nose.]
CRANE
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, it's Uncle Yang! [He smiles along with Monkey.]
[Now we see Shifu walking alone near Mr. Ping's.]
SHIFU
Oh, Po, why did you ruin something that was perfect? I don't understand.
[He stops at in front of the entrance of Mr. Ping’s and he looks what was happening.]
CHILD CITIZEN
[In background] Come back here!
[Shifu sees all enjoying the Feast at the restaurant in particularly he notices Master Rhino, who tells stories about his adventures, Mantis, Tigress and Po.]
RHINO
Then the crocodile thief pounced...
MANTIS
Peek-a-boo! [He's playing with a child.]
TIGRESS
[Sing-song voice] I'm gonna get you! [She's feeding a child.]
MR. PING
Oh, Po! [Mr. Ping is about to fall.]
PO
I got you, dad!
[Shifu sighs happily and he’s about to go away.]
SHIFU
This... is perfect.
[Po notices him and goes out from the restaurant to stop Shifu.]
PO
There's always room for one more at Mr. Ping’s…
SHIFU
Oh, n-- no! I really don't want to disturb anyone. You go and enjoy your party.
PO
I'm not gonna enjoy it without you.
SHIFU
Oh, no, I couldn't. These are your people, this is your family.
PO
You're my family too, Shifu. Now, come on.
SHIFU
That soup does smell delicious.
[They’re about to enter in the restaurant when Shifu tells him one more thing.]
SHIFU
Po, wait. What goes on in your head, I really don't always understand. But what goes on in your heart will never let us down.
PO
Thanks, Shifu. Come on!
[They enter and join the others.]
PO
Hey, guys, look who's here!
SOME CITIZENS
It's the Master, Master Shifu! Master Shifu is here!
MR. PING
It's good to see you, Master Shifu.
SHIFU
And it's good to be here, Mr. Ping.
CITIZEN
[Voice of background] Happy Feast, Master Shifu!
[Finally Po, the Furious Five and Shifu sit, and Feng, who is he too there, made a portrait of them.]
PO
Thanks for coming, everyone!
[The camera begins to head from the portrait, made by Feng, toward the paper lantern.]
