• Shifu : If you only do what you can do, you'll never be better than what you are.

  Po : But I like who I am!

  Shifu : You don't even know who you are!

• [from trailer] 

  Po : Master Shifu? Good time, bad time?

  Shifu : Time is an allusion, there is only the now.

  Po : So now is a... good time?

  Shifu : Oh!

• Po : [Shifu has made a flower bloom with the power of chi]  Woah! What was that?

  Shifu : That was chi.

  Po : Wow! What's chi?

  Shifu : The energy that flows through *all* living things.

  Po : So you're saying if I-so you're saying if I teach, I'll be able to do cool stuff like that?

  Shifu : No, I'm saying if you teach, *I'll* be able to do cool stuff like that.

  Po : Oh.

  Shifu : Mastering chi requires mastery of self. Oogway sat alone in a cave for *thirty* years, asking one question: who am I? Who am I? I'm lucky if I get five minutes before you interrupt...

  Po : Aw, so now I have to sit alone in a cave for thirty years?

  Shifu : Eventually. After you master teaching.

  Po : Teaching? There's no way I'm ever gonna be like you!

  Shifu : I'm not trying to turn you into me; I'm trying to turn you into you.

• Shifu : Time is just an illusion, there is only the now.

• Crane : Master, what are we going to do?

  Shifu : *You* are going to find out where Kai is. Follow the trail of those jade creatures but do not engage For with every foe he faces Kai becomes stronger.

  Crane : Why me? Is it because I asked?

  Shifu : No. It is because you can fly. Go!

  Mantis : Should have kept your beak shut!

  Shifu : And take Mantis.

  Mantis : What? Oh man, is it because I...

  Shifu : Yes.

• Shifu : I am not trying to turn you into me, I am turning you into you.

• Shifu : [searching through Oogway's scroll library]  There's so much wisdom in here, I can't find anything!

• Shifu : You must take the next step on your journey, from warrior to teacher.

  Po : But I'm no good at it!

  Shifu : You're terrible at it!

• Shifu : [Kai is destroying stone statues outside the Jade Palace]  I will not let you destroy Oogway's memory!

  Kai : Why not? He destroyed mine.

• Shifu : Behold. All of the answers will be found within.

  [unveils scroll] 

  Shifu : What? It's blank? Are you kidding me? Not again.

• Shifu : Before the battle of the fist comes the battle of the mind... then the dramatic entrance

• Shifu : Oogway, forgive me.

• Shifu : The student has truly become the tea - Wait. Where did you get that?

  Po : Oh, this. Oogway gave it to me in the spirit realm.

  Shifu : Ugh, of course he did.

  Po : I think I mastered Chi.

  Shifu : Oh, of course you did. Can you teach me?

• Shifu : Kai. Kai. Kai. Nope. Never heard of him.

• Po : I don't know what she told you, but I am done.

  Shifu : teaching or been humiliating?

  Po : both, I don't know why you ever thought I could teach that class.

  Shifu : I knew you couldn't

  Po : what? You set me up to fail? why?

  Shifu : if you only do what you can do you will never be more than you are now.

  Po : I don't want to be more; I like who I am.

  Shifu : you don't even know who you are

  Po : what? Of course, I do, I am the dragon worrier

  Shifu : And what exactly does that means?... dragon worrier

• Monkey : It's from the Eastern Province!

  [hands Shifu the arrow] 

  Shifu : Master Lizard, Master Ox, Master Eagle... all of them.

  [snaps the arrow in half] 

  Shifu : In every village from the sea to here, every Master in China has vanished.

  Monkey : Maybe they are all at a party?

  Viper : Monkey!

  Monkey : I didn't get invited either.

  Shifu : Kai has taken their chi. We are all that stand between him and the knowledge Oogway left in our care.

  [to Tigress] 

  Shifu : The villagers, evacuated?

  Tigress : Done, Master.

• Po : Guys guys, you're never gonna guess who just showed up. Not in a million years. You can't... you just try...

  [Li lifts his helmet slightly] 

  Tigress , Monkey , Crane , Viper , Mantis , Shifu : [in unison]  Your father!

  Po : Whoa, how did you just guess that? Oh, wait a second. Yeah, of course. We look exactly the same. Dad, say hi to my friends. Mantis, Tigress, Monkey, Crane and Viper.

  Li : [shook Monkey's hand]  Oh, Viper, was it?

  Monkey : Monkey, sir.

  Po : They're kinda my best friends. And this... this is Master Shifu. Legend!

  Shifu : It is an honor to meet you, Master Panda.

  [to Po] 

  Shifu : Perhaps your father would care to join us in the training hall?

  [to Li] 

  Shifu : Your son will be teaching the class.

  [Monkey, Viper, Mantis, and Crane cringe] 

  Li : Oh ho!

  Po : I'm sure he's tired. I'm sure you're tired. He's tired. I'm gonna show him to the Chrysanthemum Suite.

  Li : What, tired? No, I'm fine. I would love to watch you teach.

  Po : Trust me. It would be more fun to watch me...

  [the bell tower suddenly rings] 

  Po : Fight!

• Viper : Do you really think Po can master chi in time?

  Shifu : Doesn't matter what I think. It only matters what the universe thinks.

  Mantis : So... that's a no?

• Shifu : Crane, Mantis?

  Tigress : Still nothing.

  Viper : [gasps]  Wait, it's them!

• Shifu : Today, will be my final class.

  [Po and the Five become worried] 

  Po : Your final?... Wait, I didn't know you were sick.

  [looks at Shifu's eyes] 

  Po : Although, you have been looking a little...

  Shifu : [pushes Po away with his staff]  I'm not sick!

  Po : Healthy. A little healthy. A lot actually.

  Shifu : My final class because from now on, your training will be in the hands of the Dragon Warrior.

  [points his staff toward Po] 

  Po : [nods and smiles for once, then his face turns frightful in realization]  *WHAT*?

  [knocks Shifu back with his voice and steps close to Shifu] 

  Po : Me? Teach? I mean, why not Tigress? She's always telling everyone what to do.

  Tigress : Be quiet, Po.

  Po : See what I mean?

  Shifu : Tigress is not the Dragon Warrior. You are.

  Po : Come on, they're the Five! What can I teach them?

  Shifu : [reappears behind Po]  There is always something more to learn, even for a master. For instance, let me show you another move...

  [twirls his staff] 

  Shifu : The dramatic exit.

  [points his staff at the roof] 

  Shifu : What's that?

  [quickly leaves the room and closes the door] 

  Po : Whoa! Are you kidding me? That... What? Where'd he go?

  Tigress , Monkey , Mantis , Viper , Crane : [bowing down in unison]  Master.

  Po : [chuckles]  He's gone guys. It's cool.

  Monkey : We await your instruction, Master.

  Tigress : All you have to lose... is our respect.

  Mantis : [walks up to Po's shoulder]  Seriously, how bad could it be?

  [the scene cuts to chaos in the Training Hall] 

  Mantis : Very bad! Very, very bad!

• Viper : We need a chi master.

  Shifu : He will continue stealing the chi of masters until he has consumed it all.

  [Po looks at the early parts of the scroll, taking notice of the ancient pandas that could teach chi] 

  Viper : We have to make a way to stop him.

  Crane : Or he'll get more and more powerful with every master he defeats!

  Tigress : We have no choice. We fight.

  Li : I can teach you, son.

  [Mr. Ping gasps] 

  Po : You can do this?

  Li : Well, of course. I'm a panda.

  Po : That must be why the universe sent you here!

• Mr. Ping : You can't take Po away from me. No, no, I want a second opinion. Shifu, open another scroll or something.

  Shifu : I think he should go.

  Mr. Ping : Fine, a third opinion. Monkey? Viper? Tigress?

  Po : Dad, you heard what Shifu said Oogway said. This guy can only be stopped by a master of chi, and I can only master chi by knowing who I really am. Well... I'm a panda.

  Mr. Ping : [sadly]  I'll pack your lunch for the road.
