Tai Lung
- Tai Lung: [exhausted after fighting Po] You... can't defeat me! You... you're just a big... fat... panda!
- [He throws a weak punch, Po catches his hand by the finger]
- Po: I'm not *a* big fat panda. I'm *the* big fat panda.
- [he raises his pinkie]
- Tai Lung: [gasps] 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. Skidoosh.
- [he flexes his pinkie and a golden shockwave ripples out over the valley]
- Tai Lung: Where's the Dragon Warrior?
- Tigress: How do you know you're not looking at her?
- Tai Lung: [laughs] You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you! I heard how he fell from the sky on a ball of fire. That he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen!
- Monkey: Po?
- Tai Lung: So that is his name. Po. At last, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
- 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 denied me my destiny?
- Shifu: It was never my decision to make!
- [gazes at Oogway's shrine and picks up his staff]
- Tai Lung: It is *now*. Give me the Scroll!
- Shifu: I would rather die!
- Tai Lung: [attacking Shifu] What I ever did, I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are Shifu! Tell me! TELL ME!
- [he knocks Shifu to the ground]
- Shifu: [quiet and sad] I have always been proud of you. From the first moment I've been... proud of you. And it was my pride that blinded me. I loved you too much to see what you were becoming. What I... was turning you into. I'm s... I'm sorry.
- [long pause, then Tai Lung growls and seizes Shifu by the throat]
- Tai Lung: I don't want your apology! I want my scroll!
- 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 attacks]
