| [Song: A Girl Worth Fighting For] |
| Army Chorus |
[troops walking up hill]
For a long time we've been
marching off to battle |
| Yao |
[close-up of Yao, then a shot of 2 cows]
In a thundering herd
we feel a lot like cattle |
| Cow |
[spoken] Moo |
| Army Chorus |
[showing troops marching]
Like the pounding beat
our aching feet aren't
easy to ignore |
| Ling |
[catching up to Yao and Chien-Po]
Hey, think of instead,
A girl worth fighting for [Yao, Ling and Chien-Po look upwards
dreamily] |
| Mulan |
[spoken from behind] Huh? |
| Ling |
[grabbing Mulan and drawing her close while pulling out
a centerfold]
That's what I said, a girl
worth fighting for [Mulan runs away seeing the centerfold]
[artistry section where the images are drawn like painted
people. Ling is seen looking at a woman and then kissing her]
I want her paler than the
moon with eyes that
shine like stars
|
| Yao |
[lifting and lowering a woman over his head then opening
his chest to show a gaping wound that we can see the woman through]
My girl will marvel at
my strength, adore my
battle scars |
| Chien-Po |
[Chien-Po and a woman circle around then land on the edge
of a large bowl of rice as a cow, pig and chicken fall beside
them]
I couldn't care less what she'll
wear or what she looks like
It all depends on what
she cooks like
Beef, pork, chicken...
[end painted people section, the last image fades into statues
that the troops just passed] |
| All Three |
Mmm... |
| Yao |
[looking at Mulan while crossing the river with swords
over their heads. Mulan looks disgusted
and hurries forward]
Bet the local girls thought
you were quite the charmer |
| Ling |
[with armor full of water to make him look muscular]
And I'll bet the ladies love
a man in armor
[the water leaks out making Ling look like his normal self] |
| Army Chorus |
[Mushu whistles to ladies working in the rice field from
out of the carriage holding cannons. Cri-Kee
looks shocked. The ladies look and giggle at Mulan who hides
her face]
You can guess what we
have missed the most
since we went off
to war
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for! |
| Yao |
[Mulan walks away from Yao and into Chien-Po]
My girl will think I have
no faults |
| Chien-Po |
That I'm a major find |
| Mulan |
[Caught between Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po who all look up
dreamily waiting for her ideal woman. She is forced to speak
(sing)]
[spoken] Uh, [singing] How about a girl who's
got a brain, [Yao starts to look unimpressed]
Who always speaks her mind? [Mulan shrugs her shoulders] |
| Ling, Yao and Chien-Po |
[disdainfully, looking disappointed
and disgusted] Nah! |
| Ling |
[grabbing Mulan's shoulder and leaning on her, she takes
his hand off and shakes her head disapprovingly. Ling leans against
the carriage of cannons]
My manly ways and turns of
phrase are sure to thrill her |
| Yao |
[hitting Khan so that the carriage runs out from under
Ling. Ling looks upset then falls
in the mud]
He thinks he's such a
lady-killer! |
| Chi Fu |
I've a girl back home who's
unlike any other. |
| Yao |
[aside to Mulan]
Yeah, the only girl who'd
love him is his mother! [Mulan smiles] |
| Army Men |
[lining up locking arms across each others shoulders with
Mulan in the middle to her discontent]
But when we come home
in victory they'll line up
at the door! |
| Ling |
[sitting on top of Chien-Po] What do we want? |
| Army Chorus |
A girl worth fighting for! |
| Ling |
Wish that I had |
| Army Chorus |
[Mulan breaks away and walks in the opposite direction
of the army]
A girl worth fighting for!
(whistle) [Mulan sees Ling, Yao, and Chien-Po with snowballs
about to pelt her so she turns around]
A girl worth fighting-- |
| [All have stunned looks on their faces] |
| [End Song] |
| [Cut to ruins of a burned out village. The
soldiers walk through the singed gate and look around at the
few planks that remain from the buildings] |
| Shang |
[from mounted horse] Search for survivors. |
| [Cut to Mulan walking around the burned-out
village. She finds a the doll that Shan-Yu was holding and looks
up sorrowfully. Shang comes to her side] |
| Shang |
I don't understand. My father should have been here. |
| Chi Fu |
[calling out from the top of a hill overlooking a valley]
Captain! |
| [Chi Fu points down to the valley where the
remains of General Li's army can be seen. Flags poking up out
of the snow, armor lying face down, broken cannon carts. Ling,
Yao, Mulan, and a soldier have the look of horror on their faces
as they look into the valley. Chien-Po walks up from the valley
carrying a helmet] |
| Chien-po |
[handing the helmet to Shang] ...the General. |
| [Shang takes the helmet and walks to the edge
of the hill. He draws his sword and stabs it into the snow upright.
He kneels down and places the helmet on top of the sword. Mulan
approaches him from behind] |
| Mulan |
[softly] I'm sorry. |
| [Shang gets up, turns around and puts his
hand on Mulan's shoulder and he walks by. Shang walks to the
center of the troops. He grabs his horse by the saddle, takes
one quick look of grief then mounts his horse] |
| Shang |
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. Move out! |
| [Mulan looks at the sword, takes out the doll
she found and places the doll at the base of the sword. She turns
around and joins the rest of the troops marching on] |
| [Cut to Mulan standing next to Khan saddled
to the cart with cannons. A cannon blast shoots out of the cart
and explodes in the air. The troops look surprised. Mulan glances
back with a scowl into the hole in the canopy of the cart to
see Mushu with a sorrowful face. Mushu points at Cri-Kee. Shang
charges up to Mulan on his horse, Chi Fu right behind] |
| Shang |
[angrily,] What happened?! |
| Mulan |
[stumbling,] Uhhh-- |
| Shang |
You just gave away our position. Now we're--[an arrow
hits Shang in the shoulder as he falls to the ground. Shang pulls
out the arrow] [calling out] Get out of range!! |
| [The troops hurriedly run away as many arrows
start falling all around them. Mulan pulls Khan by the reins
to hurry him up. Fire arrows start hitting the cart with cannons
attached to Khan. The cart begins to blaze with fire] |
| Shang |
Save the cannons! |
| [The troops form a human chain and start taking
the cannons out of the burning cart one by one while Mulan steadies
Khan to keep him from bolting. Chien-Po grabs many and hauls
them on his own. The troops grab as many cannons as they safely
can and Mulan cuts Khan free from the cart. She mounts Khan and
charges away from the fire. The cart explodes sending Mulan flying
off Khan losing her helmet and sword which land near her. Mushu and Cri-Kee, sent flying by the blast,
scream and land near Mulan] |
| Mushu |
Oh sure, save the horse. |
| [Mulan grabs Mushu with her right hand and
grabs the sword with her left and runs to the troops position.
Cri-Kee and Khan follow. Yao, Ling, Chien-Po and other recruits
set up cannons against rocks. They dodge a set of arrows that
fall around them] |
| Shang |
Fire! |
| [They launch a volley at the mountain where
the archers are stationed. As the cannon fire explodes, Shan-Yu's
army hides] |
| Shang |
Fire! |
| [Mulan, Ling and Chien-Po launch a second
volley at the mountain where the archers are stationed. No more
arrows can be seen coming from the mountain position] |
| Shang |
Hold the last cannon. [Yao poised to light his cannon,
pauses. Shan- Yu and his troops appear at the top of the mountain]
Prepare to fight. If we die, we die with honor. |
| [Shan-Yu raises his sword high above his head
and charges down the mountain at Shang's position. His
falcon flies off his shoulder on Shan-Yu's war cry The Hun army
follows] |
| Shang |
Yao, aim the cannon at Shan-Yu. |
| [The line of Shang's troops with Mulan at
the end draw their swords. Mulan looks down at her sword and
sees the reflection of a large snow embankment hanging to the
side of a cliff. She rushes forward] |
| Yao |
[being pushed aside by Mulan as she grabs the cannon]
Hey. |
| Shang |
Ping, come back. Ping! |
| [Mulan charges forward towards the oncoming
horde of the Hun army being led by Shan-Yu and his falcon. Mushu looks over her at the oncoming horde
with worry in his eyes] |
| Shang |
[starting to run after her waving his arms] Stop! |
| [Mulan plants the cannon and aims it for the
cliff with the snow overhang] |
| Mushu |
[seeing Shan-Yu riding closer to their position] All
right, you might want to light that right about now. Quickly!
Quickly! |
| [Mulan takes out the flint and tries to light
the fuse. Shan-Yu's falcon swoops buy knocking Mulan down scattering
the flint rock] |
| Yao |
[speaking to Ling and Chien-Po] C'mon, we've gotta
help. [they charge towards Mulan's position] |
| [Mulan searches for the flint in the snow
in vain. She sees Mushu, grabs him and stretches him causing
him to light the fuse. Mushu lands on the cannon and the cannon
fires off just above the charging Shan-Yu] |
| Mushu |
[tailing off as he rides the cannon toward the snow embankment]
You missed him! How could you miss? He was three feet in front
of you! |
| [The cannon lodges in the snow and explodes
causing the beginning of a large avalanche. Mulan looks up with
an evil grin on her face and Shan-Yu watches in horror as many
of his troops begin to be swallowed up by the snow] |
| Shan-Yu |
[recollecting himself and focusing in on Mulan] Yrrrrrrraah. |
| [Shan-Yu swipes at Mulan
with his sword hitting her in the right side. Mulan falls back
grabbing her right side. Shan-Yu's horse stumbles. Mulan uses
this break to bolt away from the avalanche. Shan-Yu gains his
composure and starts to gallop away from the avalanche on his
horse. Shang looks with shock as
hee sees the avalanche coming toward him. Mulan grabs Shang as
she passes by him, turning him around and helping him run away
from the avalanche] |
| Yao, Chien-Po and Ling |
[running towards the oncoming avalanche]: Yeeahhhhhh!
[they stop. noticing the oncoming avalanche they turn around
and run back to where they came from] Waaaaaaaaaa! |
| [Khan jumps away from the troops position
and starts to run towards Mulan passing Ling, Yao and Chien-Po.
The avalanche swallows up Shan-Yu and his horse. Khan arrives
at Mulan's position just ahead of the avalanche. Mulan jumps
onto Khan and reaches for Shang. She grabs his hand, then the
avalanche rushes forth breaking their grip, turning Khan around
facing the oncoming avalanche of snow] |
| [Cut to Ling, Yao and Chien-Po standing behind
a rock. They see the snow approaching close and run to larger
shelter where the rest of Shang's army is positioned just as
the avalance reaches their posision] |
| [Cut to Mushu riding down the snow on a shield] |
| Mushu |
[calling out] Mulan! Mulan! [seeing hair sticking
up from the snow] Mulan? [Mushu picks up the Hun by the
hair] |
| Hun Soldier |
Arrrrr. |
| Mushu |
[pushing the hun soldier back under the snow]: Nope.
Mulan! [Mushu picks up Cri-Kee out of the snow] Man, you
are one lucky bug. |
| [Cut to Mulan riding Khan above the snow into
the teeth of the avalanche. Khan and Mulan are swept under by
the snow and reemerge quickly. She looks back and sees Shang
passed out riding the wave of snow] |
| Mulan |
[calling loudly]: Shang! [Mulan turns around and
rides to Shang's position. She picks him up and places him on
Khan. She turns Khan around again to ride upstream] |
| [Cut to Chien-Po with Ling standing on him
and Yao standing on top of Ling] |
| Chien-Po |
Do you see them? |
| Yao |
[extatically] Yes! [Yao shoots an arrow with a
rope attached] Perfect! Now I'll pull them to safe--[Yao
grasps at air as the rope completely passed through his hands]--ty. |
| [Cut to Mulan and Shang on Khan with Mushu
and Cri-Kee riding up to her on his shield] |
| Mushu |
[speaking loudly, above the noise of the avalanche]
Hey Mulan, I found the lucky cricket. |
| Mulan |
[speaking loudly]: We need help! [Yao's arrow lands
near by Mulan and she picks it up and starts to tie the rope
to Khan] |
| Mushu |
[Getting off the shield and carrying Cri-Kee with him]:
Ooo, nice, very nice, you can sit by me. [Mushu sees that
they're about to fall over the cliff. He and Cri-Kee look frightened]
Ahhhhh! We're gonna die! We're gonna die! We are definitely gonna
die! No way we survive this! Death is coming! [Mulan knocks
the arrow and shoots it toward Yao] |
| Yao |
[crying] I let them slip through my fingers. [Mulan's
arrow lands in Yao's hands. He grabs on and is pulled toward
the cliff, the soldiers grab onto Yao and hold him steady near
the cliff edge with the rope taught over the cliff] |
| Yao |
Pull |
| [Chien-Po prays as he calmly walks up to the
group of soldiers. He lifts them all up and pulls backward hauling
Mulan, Shang, Khan, Mushu and Cri-Kee to safety] |
| Mushu |
I knew we could to it. You da man. [Mulan looks pleased]
Well sorta. [Mulan grimaces] |
| [The soldiers help them up to the cliff] |
| Ling |
Step back guys, give 'em some air. |
| Shang |
[catching his breath] 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. [Mulan smiles big] |
| Ling |
Let's hear it for Ping! The bravest of us all. |
| Yao |
[lifting his arm high] You're king of the mountain! |
| Chien-Po |
[jumping up and down] Yes, yes, yes! |
| Mulan |
[beginning to stand up] Ahhh, [she clutches her
right side] |
| Shang |
Ping, what's wrong? [Mulan removes her hand slightly to
show the blood on her hand and seeping through the armour]
[loudly] He's wounded, get help! [Ping starts to pass
out. The images of Shang, Yao, Ling,
and Chien-Po begin to fade as she loses consciousness] Ping,
hold on. Hold on. |
| [Cut to outside of the medic tent. Mulan and
Medic are inside. Shang stands by the entrance. Yao, Ling and
Chien-Po look quite concerned. Ling
drums his fingers on his knees. The medic comes out from the
tent and whispers to Shang. Shang looks astonished and goes into
the tent. Mulan is lying down. She opens her eyes, sees Shang
and smiles at the sight of him. She sits up allowing the blanket
to fall to her waist revealing her form fitting bandages on her
chest. She sees Shang's surprised look and realizes her feminine
form is noticeable] |
| Mulan |
[gasping as she covers up] Huh, I can explain. |
| Chi Fu |
[stepping into the tent] Huh? So it's true. |
| Mulan |
[calling after Shang as he steps out of the tent]
Shang! |
| [Cut to outside the tent. Chi Fu hauls out
Mulan by the arm. Mulan uses her other hand to hold the blanket] |
| Chi Fu |
I knew there was something wrong with you. [Chi Fu takes
off Mulan's hair tie and throws her to the ground] A woman. |
| [Ling, Yao and Chien-Po are shocked] |
| Chi Fu |
[to the troops] Trecherous snake. |
| Mulan |
[on the ground kneeling and hunched over, speaking to
Shang] My name is Mulan. I did it to save my father. |
| Chi Fu |
[to the troops] High treason! |
| Mulan |
I didn't mean for it to go this far. |
| Chi Fu |
[getting in Mulan's face and speaking to her while she
whinces] Ultimate dishonor. |
| Mulan |
It was the only way. Please believe me. |
| Chi Fu |
[to Shang] Hmph, Captain? |
| [Shang walks over to Khan and takes the sword
out of the scabbard attached to Khan. Khan rears back] |
| Chi Fu |
[to the soldier by Khan] Restrain him. |
| [Shang walks toward Mulan with sword in hand] |
| Yao, Ling and Chien-Po |
[rushing toward Mulan] Noooooo! |
| Chi Fu |
[putting his hand to stop Ling, Yao, and Chien-Po from
proceeding further] You know the law. |
| [Shang stands over Mulan. Mulan looks at Shang
then bows her head in anticipation. Shang lifts the sword high
above his head and throws it down in front of Mulan] |
| Shang |
A life for a life. My debt is repaid. [turns and walks
towards the Imperial City] Move out! |
| Chi Fu |
[coming up to Shang's face] But you can't just... |
| Shang |
[getting in Chi Fu's face] I said, "Move out!" |
| [The troops walk off toward the Imperial City
leaving Mulan behind with Khan, Cri-Kee, and Mushu. Mulan is
sitting, shivering. Khan takes his blanket and wraps it around
Mulan with his mouth and sits behind her. Cri-Kee lights a fire
with twigs. When he doesn't get warm, he moves under the blanket
wrapped around Mulan. Mushu walks toward Mulan carrying a stick] |
| Mushu |
I was this close, this close to impressing the ancestors,
getting the top shelf, an entourage. Man, all my fine work, ffft.
[Mushu picks up a dumpling with his stick, slumps down in
front of the fire Cri-Kee made and begins to cook the dumpling
over the fire] [glancing up] Hi. |
| Mulan |
[look of sadness] I should never have left home. |
| Mushu |
Eh, come on, you wanted to save your father's life. Who knew
you'd end up shaming him, disgracing your ancestors, and losing
all your friends. You know, you just gotta, you gotta learn to
let these things go [looking as if he's about to cry]. |
| Mulan |
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 [picking up her helmet and looking at her reflection
in the helmet] I'd see someone worthwhile. But I was wrong.
I see nothing. [throws the helmet down and a tear runs down
her cheek] |
| Mushu |
[picking up the helmet and spitting on it] Well that's
because this just needs a little spit, that's all. Let me shine
this up for ya [wiping the spit to clean the helmet and holding
it up to Mulan]. I can see you, look at you, you look so
pretty. [seeing Mulan is not cheered up by his actions, he
shows sorrow on his face] 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 [Mulan smiles]. |
| Cri-Kee |
[jumping on top of the helmet beginning to bawl] Chirp,
Chirp, Chirp. Bawl, Bawl. |
| Mushu |
What!? What do you mean you're not lucky? You lied to me?
[Cri-Kee nods] [to Khan] And what are you? A sheep? |
| Mulan |
[sadly] I'll have to face my father sooner or later.
Let's go home. |
| Mushu |
Yeah, this ain't gonna be pretty. But, don't you worry, okay?
Things'll work out. We started this thing together and that's
how we'll finish. [Mushu hugs Mulan. Mulan smiles] I promise. |
| [Cut to Shan-Yu's falcon flying over the avalanche
site. Shan-Yu's hand pops out of the snow. He gets up and glances
around] |
| Shan-Yu |
[screaming]: Rrrrrrraaaaaaaaahhh! |
| [Hun Archer, Long-Hair Hun Man, Hun Strong
Guy, Hun Bald Man #1, and Hun Bald Man #2 each pop out of the
snow and join Shan-Yu. They set off towards the Imperial City] |
| Mulan |
[seeing them from behind, gasps] Huh. [Mulan runs,
grabs her sword, mounts Khan, and heads out following the Huns
to the Imperial City] |
| Mushu |
Home is that way! [points to the opposite direction Mulan
is heading] |
| Mulan |
I have to do something. |
| Mushu |
Did you see those Huns!? They popped out of the snow, like
daisies! |
| Mulan |
Are we in this together or not? |
| Cri-Kee |
[emphatically] Chirp, Chirp. |
| Mushu |
Well, let's go kick some Huny buns! [Jumps onto Khan and
utters fighting words as they ride off to the Imperial City]
Wu Hu Ha Ga, Wu Hu Ha Ga |
