| [Cut to the victory parade in the Imperial
City. Fireworks go off, kites are flying. The drummers march
by, followed by the flutist, followed by the acrobats. The Parade
Leader follows, then Shang and his men, followed by lion dancers] |
| Parade Leader |
Make way for the heros of China. |
| [Shang leads the men on horseback, all have
sorrowful looks on their faces. Mulan rides up through the crowd
and stops. She looks around and sees Shang in the parade] |
| Mulan |
[calling out] Shang! [riding next to him] |
| Shang |
[surprised] Mulan? |
| Mulan |
The Huns are alive, they're in the city. |
| Shang |
You don't belong here Mulan, go home. |
| Mulan |
[with a scowl rides khan to the other side of Shang]
Shang, I saw them in the mountains. You have to believe me. |
| Shang |
Why should I? |
| Mulan |
[riding ahead to block Shang's horse] Why else would
I come back? You said you'd trust Ping. Why is Mulan any different? |
| [Shang turns his horse and rides around Mulan
and goes forward] |
| Mulan |
[to Yao, Chien-Po and Ling] Keep your eyes open. I
know they're here. Hya. |
| [Mulan rides off and stops near the entrance
to the palace, she dismounts Khan and runs into the palace yard] |
| Mushu |
Now where are you going? |
| Mulan |
[calling over her shoulder] To find someone who will
believe me. [Mulan runs into the palace yard] |
| [Cut to the parade procession stopping in
front of the Emperor on the steps of the palace. Chi Fu stands
next to Shang and gives him Shan-Yu's sword. The Lion dancers
stop behind Shang. A palace man strikes a large gong and the
people fall silent] |
| Emperor |
My children, heaven smiles down upon the Middle Kingdom.
China will sleep safely tonight thanks to our brave warriors. |
| [The crowd cheers] |
| [Cut to Mulan at the fringe of the crowd] |
| Mulan |
[approaching Man #1 laying her hand on his shoulder]
Sir, the Emperor's in danger! [Man #1 rips his shoulder away
from Mulan's touch and moves away] [agitated] But
the Huns are here! [Mulan walks up to Man #2] Please,
you have to help me. [Man #2 walks away from Mulan] [turning
to Mushu who is standing near her in the yard] No one will
listen! |
| Mushu |
Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something? |
| Mulan |
[irritatedly] Mushu! |
| Mushu |
Hey, you're a girl again, remember? |
| [Cut to Shang holding the sword before the
Emperor] |
| Shang |
[kneeling down giving the sword to the Emperor] Your
Majesty, I present to you the sword of Shan-Yu. |
| Emperor |
I know what this means to you, Captain Li. Your father would
have been very proud. |
| [Shan-Yu's falcon swoops down and takes the
sword as Shang is giving it to the Emperor. The falcon rises
above the roof and drops the sword to Shan-Yu who was sitting
next to the gargoyles in the shadows blending in. He rises out
of the shadows to catch the sword so that all the people can
see his face. The masses of people gasp at the sight of Shan-Yu.
Shang begins to draw his sword. All 5 of Shan-Yu's men jump out
from behind the dragon knocking down Shang and grab the Emperor
knocking off his hat. Hun Bald Man #1 and #2 carry the Emperor
into the Palace. Long-Haired Hun Man and Hun Strong Guy close
the palace doors as Hun archer knocks his arrow retreating into
the Palace to threaten would be rescue attempts] |
| Shang |
[getting up and running toward the closing doors]
No. |
| Yao |
[beckoning to the other soldiers] C'mon. |
| [Shang reaches the palace doors just as they
close with all the Huns inside] |
| Shan-Yu |
[laughs evily] Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. |
| [Shang and his soldiers pick up a big stone
statue and use it as a battering ram. They are unsuccessful at
opening the doors. Mulan sees what's going on and arrives at
the steps] |
| Mulan |
[to herself] They'll never reach the Emperor in time.
[She looks at the columns and runs near to the Shang and his
soldiers. She whistles loudly catching the soldiers' attention]
Hey guys, I've got an idea. [Mulan runs around the palace
to the right towards the columns] |
| [Song: I'll Make a Man Out of You (reprise)
plays in the background during the next action sequence] |
| Chorus |
(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the 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 |
| [Yao, Ping and Chien-Po look at one another
then drop the statue and follow Mulan. Shang looks astonished.
Around the corner Yao, Ling and Chien-Po begin to take off their
armor and dress as women. Once the transformation is complete,
they take out their sashes and prepare to shimmy up the columns.
Shang arrives and taps Mulan on the shoulder. He takes off his
cape and wraps it around the column to signify that he's coming
along. They shimmy up the poles together] |
| [End song] |
| [Cut to Hun Bald Man #1 and #2 arriving with
the Emperor and a high balcony within the palace. Shan-Yu drops
down from the roof] |
| Shan-Yu |
Boo. [Shan-Yu steps into the balcony next to the Emperor]
[to Hun Bald Man #1 and #2] Guard the door [they walk
off down the stairs that lead to the balcony]. [pacing
around the Emperor] Your walls and armies have fallen, and
now it's your turn. Bow to me. |
| [Cut to the entrance to the stairwell that
leads to the balcony. Hun Bald Man #1 and #2 come down the stairs
and close the door, joining Hun Archer Man, Hun Strong Man and
Hun Long-Hair Man. Mulan and company are around the corner] |
| Mulan |
[whispering] Okay, any questions? |
| Yao |
[whispering] Does this dress make me look fat? [Mulan
slaps him] Ow. |
| [Mulan, Yao, Ling and
Chien-Po walk out smiling, giggling and trying to act lady-like
including holding fans and waving fans] |
| Hun Archer |
Who's there? |
| Hun Bald Man #2 |
[putting down Hun Bald Man #1's sword] Concubines. |
| Hun Bald Man #1 |
Ugly concubines. |
| Ling |
[waving daintily, speaking to Yao] Oh he's so cute. |
| [Hun Bald Man #2 smiles and waves back. Hun
Bald Man #1 elbows Hun Bald Man #2. A bitten apple falls out
from beneath Ling's dress. He pulls the dress out and turns so
as not to expose the loss of figure] |
| Shang |
[from around the corner putting his head down into his
hand] Aww. |
| [Shan-Yu's Falcon sees Shang and starts to
squawk. Mushu from above singes off all his feathers with his
fire breathing] |
| Mushu |
[to Cri-Kee sitting above him] Now that's what I call
Mongolian Barbeque. [Cri-Kee rolls on
his back in laughter. The stunned falcon doesn't do anything] |
| [Hun Bald Man #2 picks up the apple and offers
it back to Ling. Ling, Yao, and Chien-Po pull out the fruit they
were using to simulate a woman's chest. Chien-Po takes his watermelons
and smashes them on the heads of Hun Bald Man #1 and #2. He then
smashes their two heads together and they fall to the ground.
Ling pushes the apple into Hun Long-Hair man's mouth and kicks
him in the stomach causing Hun Long-Hair Man to stoop over on
the ground. Ling uses his head to crack Hun Long-Hair Man's back.
Hun Strong Guy lunges his fist at Yao and misses, he misses with
the other. Yao grabs the outstretched arm and flips him over
onto his head. Mulan kicks away Hun Archer Man's bow and knocked
arrow, avoids his strike by turning her back to Hun Archer. She
follows with a left elbow to the stomach followed by a left upper
cut knocking Hun Archer to the ground. She sits on his back and
uses the bow to pull his head back] |
| Mulan |
[calling out] Shang, GO! |
| [Shang runs out from behind the corner, charges
through the door and runs up the stairs] |
| [Cut to Shan-Yu and the Emperor on the balcony] |
| Shan-Yu |
I tire of your arrogance old man. [yelling and putting
his sword at the emperor's throat] Bow to me! |
| Emperor |
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to
it. |
| Shan-Yu |
Then you will kneel in pieces. [Shan-Yu draws back his
sword to strike the Emperor] |
| [Shang runs up in time to block the striking
blow of Shan-Yu with his sword. Shang swipes with his sword.
Shan-Yu grabs Shang's arm and throws him towards the edge. Shang
grabs onto a column and he flies over the edge and uses the momentum
to swing back and kick Shan-Yu. Shan-Yu falls to the ground,
Shang on top of him. Shang punches Shan-Yu. Shan-Yu grabs Shang
and rolls over forcing Shang to be on his back underneath him.
Shang uses his knee to hit Shan-Yu from behind as he uses his
hand to hit him in the head. Shang forces Shan-Yu onto his back
and grabs his arm pulling it behind Shan-Yu's back. Mulan, Chien-Po,
Yao and Ling enter the balcony from the stairs] |
| Mulan |
Chien-Po, get the Emperor. |
| Chien-Po |
[standing in front of the Emperor and bowing] Sorry,
your Majesty. |
| [Chien-Po lifts up the Emperor and runs over
to Mulan who is by a rope attached to a column in the balcony.
Chien-Po uses his sash as a pulley and rides down the rope to
the ground. Shan Yu watches the Emperor leave] |
| Shan-Yu |
No! |
| [Shan-Yu uses his free arm to elbow Shang
in the face. Shan-Yu gets up and head-butts Shang and throws
him to the ground. Shang lies limp. Mulan watches Shang fall
then she looks over the edge at Ling and Yao now on the ground.
Chien-Po runs off the screen out of sight] |
| Yao |
[motioning her to follow] Come on! |
| [Mulan looks down at Shang with a worried
look. Shan- Yu begins to approach Mulan and the rope. Mulan looks
at the approaching Shan-Yu and then down to spy his sword. Thinking
quickly, Mulan grabs Shan-Yu's sword and cuts the taught rope.
Shan-Yu reaches the edge and grabs for the falling rope unsuccessfully
as Mulan leaves the sword embedded in the column and runs to
Shang's position. The crowd cheers] |
| Shan-Yu |
No! [He looks down at the crowd and realizes he cannot
find the Emperor among the throng of people] Yrraaaaahhhh! |
| [Shan-Yu turns and looks back and sees Mulan
looking concerned, holding up Shang. Shan-Yu pulls out his sword
lodged in the column and heads toward them. As Shang sees Shan-Yu
approaching, he puts his arm in front of Mulan to ask her to
leave and takes out his knife. Mulan slides away. Shan-Yu comes
up to Shang, knocks away his knife, slaps him in the face, and
grabs Shang by the shirt collar] |
| Shan-Yu |
[in Shang's face] You, you took away my victory. |
| [Mulan's shoe hits Shan-Yu in the head and
bounces back to her feet. Shan-Yu turns toward Mulan] |
| Mulan |
No! I did! [Mulan pulls her hair back to look like she
did when she was a soldier] |
| Shan-Yu |
[looking at Mulan] The soldier from the mountains. |
| [Shan-Yu drops Shang and starts after Mulan
as she puts on her shoe and runs down the stairs and through
the doors to the balcony. She closes the door with the latch
falling in place right behind her. She leans against the doors.
Shan-Yu punches a hole in one door with his fist. Mulan runs
away from the doors down the corridor. Mushu riding Shan-Yu's
falcon like a horse catches up with Mulan] |
| Mushu |
So what's the plan? |
| Mulan |
Ummmm. |
| Mushu |
You don't have a plan?! |
| Mulan |
Hey, I'm making this up as I...[looks out a window and
spies the firework tower] go. Mushu-- |
| Mushu |
Way ahead of you sister. C'mon Cri-Kee. [Mushu and Cri-Kee
jump onto a kite and use the wings to soar over toward the fireworks
tower] |
| [Cut to Shan-Yu. Shan-Yu breaks through the
doors and catches up to Mulan swinging his sword wildly knocking
down a support column with every swipe. Mulan runs and ducks
his every blow. Mulan climbs up a column to get out of Shan-Yu's
reach. Shan-Yu slices the base of the column causing it to fall
and break through the outer wall. Mulan
screams as the beam falls and comes to a stop. Mulan gets up
on the beam and jumps up to catch onto the awning. She looks
off to her right and spies Mushu arriving at the fireworks tower] |
| [Zoom in on the fireworks tower. Mushu lands
near Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft (the firework lighters) on
the edge of the tower] |
| Mushu |
Citizens, I need firepower. |
| Barry Cook |
Who are you? |
| Mushu |
[Mushu (using the wings from the kite) and Cri-Kee with
wings spread like batman] You're worst nightmare. |
| [Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft jump off the
tower and plunge toward the ground] |
| [Cut to Mulan. She pulls herself onto the
roof and climbs up to the crest] |
| Man in Crowd #1 |
On the roof. |
| Man in Crowd #2 |
Look! |
| [Mulan lines up where she is standing with
the fireworks tower across the way. Shan-Yu breaks through the
roof behind Mulan surprising her. Mulan backs away and searches
for something on her person to help her against Shan-Yu. She
finds a her fan, takes it out, and opens it] |
| Shan-Yu |
It looks like you're out of ideas. |
| [Shan-Yu lunges with his sword. Mulan dodges
to her right and lets the sword go right through the fan. She
closes the fan back up on the sword and twists the fan with both
hands so that Shan-Yu loses his grip. The sword flies toward
Mulan and she catches it by the handle slipping off the fan with
her sword movement] |
| Mulan |
Not quite. [calling out] Ready, Mushu? |
| Mushu |
[behind Shan-Yu tied to a large rocket firework] I
am ready, baby. [He blows fire onto a stick and hands the
stick to Cri-Kee who's standing on the firework] Light me!
[Cri-Kee lights the fuse] |
| [Shan-Yu approaches Mulan. Using the sword
as a lever, Mulan lunges at Shan-Yu kicking him in the face then
sweep kicks him and he falls to the ground. Mulan picks the sword
back up and stabs it into Shan-Yu's cape. The rocket on Mushu
ignites and hurls him toward Shan-Yu. Mulan lies flat down on
the left side of the roof. Shan-Yu sees the approaching rocket
and tries to run, but the sword has him pinned to the spot. The
rocket hits Shan-Yu square in the belly propelling him toward
the firework tower. Mushu grabbed onto the sword as he went by
letting the rocket do the work. Cri-Kee hangs on to Mushu's tail.
Mulan jumps back up to the crest of the roof and runs away from
the fireworks tower grabbing Mushu and Cri-Kee off the sword] |
| Mulan |
[while running] Get off the roof, get off the roof,
get off the roof. |
| [The rocket rides Shan-Yu into the fireworks
tower causing masses of explosions and fireworks to fly everywhere.
Mulan jumps near the edge of the roof. Propelled by the explosion,
she grabs onto a lantern that is hanging on a taught rope and
starts to slide down. She looks down and releases her grip so
that she lands on the back of Shang causing the two of them to
fall to the ground. Shan-Yu's sword follows and lands on the
ground near by] |
| Mushu |
[landing and flying backwards on his butt a couple of
times pointing at the fireworks]: Ah ha ha ha ha. [Mushu's
catches Cri-Kee with antenna on fire as Cri-Kee falls toward
him] [to Cri-Kee] You are a lucky bug. [Mushu pinches
out the fire on Cri-Kee's antenna] |
| Chi Fu |
[walking down the stairs in a tattered outfit and slightly
burned] That was a deliberate attempt on my life. Where is
she? Now she's done it. What a mess. [Shang and troops push
Mulan behind them to protect her] [to Shang] Stand
aside, that creature's not worth protecting. |
| Shang |
[in Chi Fu's face] She's a hero. |
| Chi Fu |
'Tis a woman. She will never be worth anything. |
| Shang |
[grabbing Chi Fu by the shirt collar] Listen, you
pompous-- |
| Emperor |
[walking down the steps] That is enough! |
| Shang |
Your Majesty, I can explain. |
| [The Emperor motions for Shang to stand aside.
Shang and his men part giving the Emperor a clear path to Mulan.
Mulan steps forward and bows before the Emperor. Chi
Fu with a sinister look waits to write down the words of the
Emperor] |
| Emperor |
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. [the Emperor bows
to Mulan] |
| [Chi Fu looks at the Emperor actions astonishingly
then immediately falls prostrate before Mulan. Shang, Yao, Ling,
and Chien-Po follow suit. Mulan looks up then turns around hardly
believing what she sees as the entire Chinese population within
the palace grounds fall prostrate on the ground in a wave like
pattern, bowing to her. Khan bows with Mushu and Cri-Kee on his
back] |
| Mushu |
My little baby's all grown up and savin' China. [to Cri-Kee]
You have a tissue? |
| Emperor |
Chi Fu, |
| Chi Fu |
Your Excellency? |
| Emperor |
See to it that this woman is made a member of my council. |
| Chi Fu |
[muttering to himself] A member of your coun...[realizing
what the Emperor has said] what? [stutters] But there
are no council positions open, your Majesty. |
| Emperor |
[to Mulan] Very well then, you can have his job [pointing
out Chi Fu]. |
| Chi Fu |
[wobbling to and fro] What?...My...[faints] |
| Mulan |
[smiles big then turns to the Emperor and bows] With
all due respect, your Excellency. I think I've been away from
home long enough. |
| Emperor |
[taking off his pendant] Then take this, so your family
will know what you have done for me. And this [handing her
the sword of Shan-Yu] so the world will know what you have
done for China. |
| [Mulan takes the gifts and hugs the Emperor] |
| Yao |
Is she allowed to do that? [Shang, Ling, and Chien-Po
shrug] |
| [Mulan walks away from the Emperor and is
embraced by Yao and Ling. Chien-Po comes up and lifts all three
of them off the ground in a big bear hug. Chien-Po lets them
all back to the ground again. Mulan walks toward Shang and stops
in front of him. As Shang begins to speak Mulan starts to smile
anticipating something good] |
| Shang |
Um...[Mulan grins] You... [Mulan smiles] You
fight good. |
| Mulan |
[smile turning into disappointment] Oh, thank you.
[Mulan walks toward Khan] |
| Shang |
[turning toward Mulan and grunts with disappointment in
himself] Hmm. |
| [Mulan mounts Khan] |
| Mulan |
Khan, let's go home. |
| [Khan jumps down the steps and gallops on
the flat parts of the stair case back down to ground level. The
crowd cheers al the while. The Emperor approaches Shang and clears
his throat] |
| Emperor |
[to Shang] The flower that blooms in adversity is
the most rare and beautiful of all. |
| Shang |
[dumbfounded] Sir? |
| Emperor |
You don't meet a girl like that ev'ry dynasty. [The emperor
puts on his hat and walks back up the steps to his palace] |
| [Cut to Mulan's home,
her father is sitting beneath the blossom tree. A blossom falls
and lands on his leg. Mulan appears at the threshold and moves
toward her father. Fa Zhou sees her approaching and starts to
stand] |
| Fa Zhou |
Mulan. |
| [Mulan quickly moves in front of her father
and kneels causing him to sit back down] |
| Mulan |
Father, I brought you the sword of Shan-Yu [hands the
sword to Fa Zhou] and the crest of the Emperor [hands
the crest to Fa Zhou]. [with head bowed] They're gifts
to honor the Fa Family. |
| [Fa Zhou takes the gifts
and throws them down to the ground beside him to the surprise
of Mulan. He bends down and holds her arms outstretched] |
| Fa Zhou |
The greatest gift and honor, is having you for a daughter.
[Fa Zhou wipes away Mulan's tear then hugs Mulan] I've
missed you so. |
| Mulan |
I've missed you too Baba. |
| [Fa li and Grandma Fa watch from the doorway] |
| Fa Li |
[sighing] Ahhhhh |
| Grandma Fa |
Great, she brings home a sword. If you ask me she should
have brought home a ma--[leaving her mouth open when she sees
Shang] |
| Shang |
[just arriving] Excuse me, does Fa Mulan live here? |
| [Grandma Fa's mouth stays open as she and
Fa Li point toward Mulan's position. Shang walks toward Mulan
and Fa Zhou] |
| Grandma Fa |
Woo, sign me up for the next war. |
| [Shang approaches seeing Fa Zhou] |
| Shang |
[bows before Fa Zhou and speaks confidently] Honorable
Fa Zhou I-- Mulan [Mulan steps up. Shang sees her and speaks
insecurely] Uh...Uh...You forgot your helmet. W-w-well, actually
it's your helmet, isn't it?...[handing the helmet toward Fa
Zhou] I mean... |
| [Fa Zhou motions with his head for Mulan to
take over. Mulan holds the helmet Shang offers] |
| Mulan |
Would you like to stay for dinner? |
| Grandma Fa |
[speaking from stage right] Would you like to stay
forever? [Mulan shakes her head with a smile at Grandma Fa's
statement] |
| Shang |
[reassuredly to Mulan] Dinner would be great. |
| [Cut to First Ancestor
grinning happily looking at the scene through the temple window.
He watches Mulan hand the helmet back to Fa Zhou. Mushu climbs
up to the window sill by First Ancestor's his head] |
| Mushu |
[tugging on First Ancestor's ear] C'mon, who did a
good job? C'mon, tell me who did a good job. |
| First Ancestor |
[hesitantly] Oh, all right. You can be a guardian
again. |
| Mushu |
Ah-ha. Woo Hoo Hoo Hoo. [Mushu runs to his post and Cri-Kee
bangs the gong awakening all the ancestors] |
| Mushu |
Take it Cri-Kee. |
| [Song: True to Your Heart -- No characters
sing in the song] |
| [Ancestor 1 does a dance from Pulp Fiction
while Ancestor 3 does the Hand Jive] |
| Ancestor 3 |
[spoken to Ancestor 1] You know, she get's it from
my side of the family. |
| Mushu |
[spoken while swinging on a chain] Call out for egg
rolls! |
| First Ancestor |
[disgusted] Guardians. |
| [Mushu lands on the steps outside the temple.
Mulan walks up to him and rests besides him on the steps] |
| Mulan |
Thanks, Mushu [kisses Mushu on the forehead]. |
| Little Brother |
Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark |
| [Little brother runs up the steps and into
the temple with the bag of grain tied to him. The chickens follow
him in] |
| First Ancestor |
[annoyed] Mushu! |
| [Roll Credits] |
|
[The End] |
