I am ready to serve the Emperor.
-Father, you can't go. -Mulan !

Don't look at me. She gets it from your side of the family.
She's just trying to help her father.
But if she's discovered, Fa Zhou will be forever shamed.
Dishonor will come to the family. Traditional values will disintegrate.
Not to mention, they'll lose the farm.
My children never caused such trouble. They all became acupuncturists.

The point is we will be sending a real dragon to retrieve Mulan.

You are not worthy of this spot. Now, awaken the Great Stone Dragon.
So you'll get back to me on the job thing?

The Huns are moving quickly.
We'll make better time to the Imperial City through the Tung Shao Pass.
We're the only hope for the Emperor now.

Man, you are one lucky bug.

-Do you see them? -Yes.
Perfect. Now we'll pull them to safe. . .ty.
Mulan ! I found the lucky cricket!
We need help.
Nice. Very nice. You can sit by me.
We're gonna die!
We're gonna die! We are definitely gonna die.
No way we survive this. Death is coming !
(BLUBBERING) I let them slip through my fingers.
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
Pull !
ALL: Whoa!
Huh !
I knew we could do it. You the man !
Well, sort of.
LING: Step back, guys. Give him some air.
(GASPING)
Ping?
You are the craziest man I've ever met.
And for that, I owe you my life.
From now on, you have my trust.
Let's hear it for Ping ! The bravest of us all !
You're king of the mountain !
Yes, yes, yes!
(ALL WHOOPING)

Ping ! What's wrong?
(GROANING)
He's wounded ! Get help!
Ping, hold on.

(SIGHS) I can explain.
(GASPS) So it's true!
MULAN: Shang !
I knew there was something wrong with you.
A woman !
(ALL GASPING)
-(GRUNTING) -Treacherous snake!
My name is Mulan.
I did it to save my father.
-High treason ! -I didn't mean for it to go this far.
Ultimate dishonor!
It was the only way. Please believe me.
(SCOFFS) Captain?
-(NEIGHING WILDLY) -(GASPS)
Restrain him !
-No! -You know the law.
A life for a life.
My debt is repaid.
-Move out! -(STUTTERING) But you can't just. . .

(CHIRPING)
(SHIVERS)
I was this close.
This close to impressin' the ancestors, gettin' the top shelf, an entourage.
Man. All my fine work. Pfft.
Hi.
I should never have left home.
Hey, come on. You went to save your father's life.
Who knew you'd end up shamin' him and disgracing your ancestors and losin' all your friends?
You know, you just gotta. . . You gotta learn to let these things go.
(CRYING)
Maybe I didn't go for my father.
Maybe what I really wanted was to prove I could do things right, so when I looked in the mirror, I'd see someone worthwhile.
But I was wrong.
I see nothing.
Now, that's just 'cause this needs a little spit, that's all.
(SPITS) Let me shine this up for ya.
I can see you. Look at you. You look so pretty.
The truth is, we're both frauds.
Your ancestors never sent me. They don't even like me.
I mean, you risked your life to help people you love.
I risked your life to help myself.
At least you had good intentions.
(SOFT CHIRPING)
What? What do you mean, "You're not lucky"?
-You lied to me? -(CHIRPING)
And what are you, a sheep?
-(SNORTS) -(GRUMBLES)
I'll have to face my father sooner or later.
Let's go home.
Yeah. This ain't gonna be pretty.
But don't you worry, okay? Things will work out.
We started this thing together, and that's how we'll finish it.
I promise.

Make way for the heroes of China.
(WOMAN CRIES OUT)
-Shang ! -Mulan?
The Huns are alive! They're in the city!
You don't belong here, Mulan. Go home.
Shang, I saw them in the mountains. You have to believe me.
Why should I?
Why else would I come back?
You said you'd trust Ping. Why is Mulan any different?
Keep your eyes open. I know they're here.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Now, where are you going?
To find someone who will believe me.
My children, heaven smiles down upon the Middle Kingdom.
China will sleep safely tonight.
Thanks to our brave warriors.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Sir, the Emperor's in danger.
(HARRUMPHS)
But the Huns are here.
-Please, you have to help. -(HARRUMPHS)
No one will listen.
Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something?
-Mushu. -You're a girl again, remember?
Your Majesty, I present to you the sword of Shan-Yu.
I know what this means to you, Captain Li.
Your father would have been very proud.

I've got an idea.
(SINGING) Be a man
-We must be swift as a coursing river -Be a man
-With all the force of a great typhoon -Be a man With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)
Boo.
Guard the door.
Your walls and armies have fallen, and now it's your turn.
Bow to me.
MULAN: (WHISPERING) Okay. Any questions?
YAO: Does this dress make me look fat?
-(SLAPS) -Ow!
-(GIRLISH GIGGLE) -Who's there?

(GRUNTING) Shang, go!
I tire of your arrogance, old man. Bow to me!
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
Then you will kneel in pieces!

(LAUGHING)
You are a lucky bug.
(CROWD CHEERING)
That was a deliberate attempt on my life!
Where is she? Now she's done it.
What a mess! Stand aside!
That creature's not worth protecting.
-She's a hero. -She's a woman.
-She'll never be worth anything. -Listen, you pompous. . .
That is enough.
Your Majesty, I can explain.
I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan.
You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace and you have saved us all.
Ah ! Oh !
(MUSHU SNIFFLES)
My little baby is all grown up and savin' China.
You have a tissue?
Chi Fu?
Your Excellency?
See to it that this woman is made a member of my council.
(STUTTERING) Member? What?
But. . . There are no council positions open, Your Majesty.
Very well. You can have his job.
What? I. . . (GASPS)
With all due respect, Your Excellency, I think I've been away from home long enough.
Then take this, so your family will know what you have done for me.
And this, so the world will know what you have done for China.
(CHUCKLES)
Is she allowed to do that?
(ALL SIGHING)
Um. . .
You. . .
You fight good.
Oh. Thank you.

Sir?
You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(GASPING) Mulan !
Father, I brought you the sword of Shan-Yu.
And the crest of the Emperor.
They're gifts to honor the Fa family.
The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.
I've missed you so.
I've missed you too, Baba.
-(SIGHS) -Great.
She brings home a sword.
If you ask me, she should've brought home a man.
Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here?
Thank you.
Whoo! Sign me up for the next w*r.
Honorable Fa Zhou, I. . . Mulan !
Uh. . . You forgot your helmet.
Well, actually, it's your helmet, isn't it?
-I mean. . . -Would you like to stay for dinner?
GRANDMOTHER: Would you like to stay forever?
Dinner would be great.
Come on. Who did a good job?
Come on. Tell me. Who did a good job?
All right! You can be a guardian again.
