[Chinese guard is seen walking on The Great Wall.  Shan-Yu's falcon swoops
\ndown and hits the guard on the head knocking his helmet off.  The falcon lands
\non top of a flag pole in front of a full moon and lets out a large cry.  One
\ngrappling hook comes over The Great Wall.  The guard walks over to the edge
\nand sees many grappling hooks coming towards him]<\/p>\n
Guard [yelling]:  We're under attack!  Light the signal!<\/p>\n
[Guard runs to the tower and up the ladder as Hun Bald Man #1 and Hun Long
\nHair Man appear trying to stop him.  Hun Bald Man #1 breaks the ladder with
\nhis sword just as Guard reaches the top.  The guard picks up the torch to
\nlight the fire and sees Shan-Yu jump over the edge of the tower and looks at
\nhim across from the caldron.  The guard throws the torch into the caldron
\nlighting a large fire.  Shan-Yu watches as each tower lights their caldrons
\none by one]<\/p>\n
Guard [sternly]:  Now all of China knows you're here.<\/p>\n
Shan-Yu [taking the flag and holding it over the fire]:  Perfect.<\/p>\n
[Cut to the palace.  The large doors to the central chamber open as General Li
\nwalks in flanked on his left and right by soldiers and approaches the Emperor.
\nHe bows, then looks up]<\/p>\n
General Li:  Your Majesty, the Huns have crossed our Northern border.<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  Impossible! No one can get through The Great Wall.  [The Emperor
\nmotions for Chi Fu's silence]<\/p>\n
General Li:  Shun-Yu is leading them.  We'll set up defenses around your
\npalace immediately.<\/p>\n
Emperor [forcefully]:  No!  Send your troops to protect my people.  Chi Fu,<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  Yes, your highness.<\/p>\n
Emperor: Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces.  Call up
\nreserves and as many new recruits as possible.<\/p>\n
General Li:  Forgive me your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him.<\/p>\n
Emperor:  I wont take any chances, General.  A single grain of rice can tip
\nthe scale.  One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan using her chopsticks to single out a grain of rice on top of the
\nmound of rice]<\/p>\n
Mulan: Quiet and demure...graceful...polite...[picking up some rice with her
\nchopsticks and eating a mouthful] delicate...refined...poised... [She sets
\ndown her chopsticks and writes down a final word on her right arm] punctual.
\n[A cock crows]  Aiya.  [Calling out]  Little brother. Little brother.  Lit-
\nahhh, there you are.  Who's the smartest doggie in the world?  Come on smart
\nboy, can you help me with my chores today?<\/p>\n
[Mulan ties a sack of grain around Little Brother's waist.  She ties a stick
\nonto Little brother so that end of it is in front of Little Brother's face.
\nShe ties the bone on the end of the stick just out of reach.  Little Brother
\nbegins to run after the bone which he cannot reach.  Mulan opens the door for
\nLittle Brother and he runs into the door frame, then out the open door.
\nLittle brother runs by the chickens and Khan - the family horse]<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan's Father, Fa Zhou, kneeling and praying before the Fa family's
\nancestors]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Honorable ancestors, please help Mulan impress the matchmaker today.<\/p>\n
Little Brother [running into the temple and around Fa Zhou scattering grain
\naround the floor]: Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark.<\/p>\n
[The chickens follow Little Brother into the temple and begin to feed on the
\ngrain]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Please, PLEASE, help her.<\/p>\n
[Mulan steps up to the temple seeing Little Brother on his hind legs trying to
\nget the bone.  Mulan bends the stick down so that Little brother can reach the
\nbone.  Little brother gnaws on the bone happily.  Mulan continues toward the
\ntemple]<\/p>\n
Mulan [calling out]: Father I brought your--whoop!  [Fa Zhou bumps into Mulan.
\nThe cup falls to the ground and Fa Zhou catches the teapot with the handle of
\nhis cane]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Mulan--<\/p>\n
Mulan:  I brought a spare. [Mulan pulls out a cup from underneath the back of
\nher dress and begins to pour the tea]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Mulan--<\/p>\n
Mulan [hurried]: Remember, the doctor said three cups of tea in the morning--<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Mulan--<\/p>\n
Mulan:  And three at night.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Mulan, you should already be in town.  We're counting on you to up--<\/p>\n
Mulan:  --uphold the family honor.  Don't worry father.  I wont let you down.
\n[Mulan covers over the writing on her arm with here sleeve]  Wish me luck.
\n[Mulan hurries down the stairs]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [calling out]:  Hurry!  [to himself] I'm going to...pray some more.
\n[Fa Zhou turns and walks back into the temple]<\/p>\n
[Cut to the town with Fa Li looking worried]<\/p>\n
Bath Lady [poking out of her building]:  Fa Li, is your daughter here yet?
\nThe matchmaker is not a patient woman.  [She goes back into the building]<\/p>\n
Fa Li:  Of all days to be late.  I should have prayed to the ancestors for
\nluck.<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa [walking in with a Cri-Kee in a cage]:  How lucky can they be,
\nthey're dead.  Besides,  I've got all the luck we'll need.  [Speaking to
\nCri-Kee]  This is your chance to prove yourself.  [Cri-Kee chirps approvingly.
\nGrandma Fa covers her eyes steps into a busy street]<\/p>\n
Fa Li [excitedly]:  Grandma No!<\/p>\n
[The traffic barely misses Grandma Fa as she crosses the busy street.  But two
\nhorse and carriage collide causing a big accident.  She arrives at the other
\nside of the street, uncovers here eyes and looks at Cri-Kee]<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa:  Yep, this cricket's a lucky one. [Cri-Kee falls over out of
\nfright]<\/p>\n
Fa Li [sighing in relief]:  Hai.<\/p>\n
[Mulan arrives on Khan jumping over the recent accident in the street and
\njumps off with hay stuck in her hair]<\/p>\n
Mulan: I'm here.  [Seeing a stern look from her mother] What?  But Mama I had
\nto--<\/p>\n
Fa Li:  None of your 'xcuses.  Now let's get you cleaned up. [They walk
\ntogether into the preparation area]<\/p>\n
[Song: Honor to us all]<\/p>\n
Bath Lady:  [all the while Bath Lady undresses Mulan and pushes her into the
\nBath]
\nThis is what you give me
\nto work with?
\nWell, honey, I've seen worse.
\nWe're gonna turn
\nthis sow's ear
\nInto a silk purse. [Bath Lady moves the silk partition aside showing Mulan in
\nthe bath]<\/p>\n
Mulan [spoken]:  It's freezing.<\/p>\n
Fa Li [spoken]:  It would have been warm if you were here on time.<\/p>\n
Bath Lady [washing Mulan's hair]:
\nWe'll have you
\nWashed and dried
\nPrimped and polished
\ntill you glow with pride
\nTrust my recipe for
\ninstant bride
\nYou'll bring honor to us all<\/p>\n
Fa Li [grabbing a sponge and Mulan's right arm to start cleaning her.  She
\nnotices the writing] [spoken]:  Mulan, what's this?<\/p>\n
Mulan [Drawing her arm back and batting her eyelashes] [spoken]:  Ahh, notes,
\nin case I forget something?<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa [spoken]:  Here, hold this [hands the cricket to Fa Li].  We'll
\nneed more luck than I thought.  [Mulan looks on with an air of disappointment]<\/p>\n
[Cut to the hair dressers]<\/p>\n
Hair Dresser 1 [Brushing and combing Mulan's hair much to Mulan's chagrin]:
\nWait and see
\nWhen we're through<\/p>\n
Hair Dresser 2:
\nBoys will gladly go to
\nwar for you<\/p>\n
Hair Dresser 1:
\nWith good fortune<\/p>\n
Hair Dresser 2 [Finalizing the hairdo to look exactly like hers]:
\nAnd a great hairdo<\/p>\n
Both:
\nYou'll bring honor to us all<\/p>\n
Fa Li and others:  [Mulan following her Mother passes a xiangqi game and
\npauses to make an impressive move.  Mulan has a smug look on her face when Fa
\nLi comes back and drags Mulan away]
\nA girl can bring her family
\nGreat honor in one way
\nBy striking a good match
\nAnd this could be the day<\/p>\n
Dresser 1 [Dresser 1, Dresser 2, and Fa Li dress Mulan]:
\nMen want girls
\nwith good taste<\/p>\n
Dresser 2:
\nCalm<\/p>\n
Fa Li:
\nObedient<\/p>\n
Dresser 1:
\nWho work fast-paced<\/p>\n
Fa Li:
\nWith good breeding<\/p>\n
Dresser 2 [Pulling the dress tight around her waist]:
\nAnd a tiny waist<\/p>\n
Mulan [expressing her waist being squeezed tight] [spoken]: huh.<\/p>\n
All Three:
\nYou'll bring honor to us all<\/p>\n
Chorus:  [Mulan follows Fa Li and sees boy stealing a doll from a girl.  Mulan
\ngrabs the doll from the boy and returns it to its owner]
\nWe all must serve
\nour Emperor
\nWho guards us from the Huns
\nA man by bearing arms
\nA girl by bearing sons<\/p>\n
Make-up Lady\/Fa Li: [Putting on Mulan's face, powder, lipstick and eye liner]
\n[in a 3 person round]
\nWhen we're through
\nyou can't fail
\nLike a lotus blossom
\nsoft and pale
\nHow could any fellow
\nsay \"No sale\"
\nYou'll bring honor to us all
\n[Make-Up Lady holds a mirror so Mulan can see her reflection.  Not looking
\npleased, Mulan takes her single, short bang and brings it down in front of her
\nforehead and smiles]<\/p>\n
Fa Li [spoken. Fa Li places a hair comb in Mulan's hair]:  There, you're
\nready.<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa [spoken]:  Not yet! An apple for serenity [putting an apple in
\nMulan's mouth]...A pendant for balance [places a yin-yang pendant under her
\nsash] [sings]<\/p>\n
Beads of jade for beauty [putting beads around Mulan's neck]
\nYou must proudly show it [Grandma Fa raises her chin high with her hand]
\nNow add a cricket just for luck [putting the cage with Cri-Kee under Mulan's
\nsash in the back.  Cri-Kee doesn't look pleased]
\nAnd even you can't blow it<\/p>\n
Mulan:  [Walking to catch up with the other maidens]
\nAncestors
\nHear my plea
\nHelp me not to make a fool of me
\nAnd to not uproot my fam'ly tree
\nKeep my father standing tall<\/p>\n
Maidens and Mulan: [Mulan taking the parasol from Fal Li and running to fall
\nin line with the other 4 maidens]
\nScarier than the undertaker
\nWe are meeting our
\nmatchmaker<\/p>\n
All Townspeople:
\nDestiny
\nGuard our girls
\nAnd our future
\nas it fast unfurls
\nPlease look kindly on
\nthese cultured pearls
\nEach a perfect porcelain doll<\/p>\n
Maiden #1:  Please bring honor to us
\nMaiden #2:  Please bring honor to us
\nMaiden #3:  Please bring honor to us
\nMaiden #4:  Please bring honor to us
\nMulan and Maidens:  Please bring honor to us all!<\/p>\n
[All Girls and Mulan arrive before the Matchmaker crouched down behind their
\nparasols.  End of song]<\/p>\n
Matchmaker [looking at her clipboard]:  Fa Mulan<\/p>\n
Mulan [Jumping up and raising her hand]:  Present.<\/p>\n
Matchmaker:  Speaking without permission.<\/p>\n
Mulan:  Oops.<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa [to Fa Li]:  Who spit in her bean curd?<\/p>\n
[Mulan walks into the Matchmaker's building with the Matchmaker following
\nbehind and closing the door]<\/p>\n
Matchmaker [looking over Mulan]: Huh, Hmm, too skinny.  [Cri-Kee escapes from
\nhis cage.  Mulan struggles to catch him] Hmph, not good for bearing sons.
\n[Mulan puts Cri-Kee in her mouth when Matchmaker turns around to face her]
\nRecite the final admonition.<\/p>\n
Mulan [nodding and smiling]:  Mmm-Hmm.  [Takes out fan and covers her mouth as
\nshe spits out Cri-Kee] Ptu<\/p>\n
Matchmaker:  Well...<\/p>\n
Mulan [with dignity]: Fulfill your duties calmly and re...f--[looking at her
\narm with smeared writing] spectfully.  Reflect before you snack [surprised,
\nMulan looks at her arm again] act.  [now rapidly] This shall bring you honor
\nand glory.  [Fanning herself rapidly and sighing in relief] Huh.<\/p>\n
Matchmaker [snatches the fan and looks at it on both sides looking for notes
\nnot finding any.  Mulan smiles big when Matchmaker looks at her.  Matchmaker
\ngrabs Mulan's right arm pulling her along while smearing the writing and
\nleaving some ink on her hand]  Hmmm, this way.  Now, pour the tea  [Pushing a
\nteapot towards Mulan].  To please your future in-laws you must demonstrate a
\nsense of dignity [Matchmaker smears ink around her mouth.  Mulan staring at
\nMatchmaker pours some tea onto the table then notices her mistake and pours
\nthe tea into the cup] and refinement.  You must also be poised.  [Mulan
\nnotices Cri-kee in the tea-cup as Matchmaker takes the cup]<\/p>\n
Mulan [quiet and timid]:  Um, pardon me.<\/p>\n
Matchmaker:  And silent! [Matchmaker sniffs the tea]<\/p>\n
Mulan [reaching and grabbing the teacup]:  Could I just take that back...one
\nmoment.<\/p>\n
[They struggle for the teacup and it turns over on Matchmaker and Cri-kee
\njumps down matchmaker's dress]<\/p>\n
Matchmaker:  Why you clumsy--[Matchmaker feels Cri-Kee in her dress and dances
\naround]  Wooo, woooo, wooooooo, [Matchmaker knocks over her pot of coals, and
\nsits down on the coals.  Matchmaker jumps around screaming]  Ahhhhhhhhhhh
\n[Mulan grabs her fan and briskly fans the charred area on Matchmaker's behind
\ncausing it to flame up.  Mulan looks surprised about her mistake]<\/p>\n
[Cut to outside Matchmakers building showing Grandma Fa with much noise coming
\nfrom Matchmaker's building]<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa [to Fa Li]:  I think it's going well, don't you?<\/p>\n
Matchmaker [running out of the building screaming]:  Put it out! Put it out!
\nPut it out! [Mulan takes the teapot, throws the tea on Matchmaker and puts out
\nthe fire.  She bows, hands the teapot back to Matchmaker and covers her face
\nas she walks toward Fa Li and Grandma Fa] [with anger]  You are a disgrace!
\n[Matchmaker throws the teapot down smashing it to pieces]  You may look like a
\nbride, but you will never bring your family honor!<\/p>\n
[The townsfolk who have gathered whisper and walk away]<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan walking through the gate with her home leading khan.  She looks
\nsorrowful.  Fa Zhou sees his daughter and smiles.  Mulan sees her father's
\nsmile.  She covers her face with Khan's head and leads him to the water
\ntrough]<\/p>\n
[Song: Reflection]<\/p>\n
Mulan:
\nLook at me [looking at her reflection in the water trough]
\nI will never pass for
\na perfect bride [taking off her earrings and beads of jade]
\nOr a perfect daughter [Mulan watches Fa Li relating what happened at the
\nMatchmaker's to Fa Zhou]
\nCan it be
\nI'm not meant to play
\nthis part?  [Mulan releases Cri-Kee back to the wild]
\nNow I see
\nThat if I were to truly
\nTo be myself [Mulan hops along the bridge railing]
\nI would break my
\nfamily's heart<\/p>\n
Who is that girl I see  [Mulan looks into the pond and sees her own
\nreflection]
\nStaring straight
\nBack at me? [Mulan puts her hand on the Great Stone Dragon and looks toward
\nthe temple]
\nWhy is my reflection someone
\nI don't know? [Cri-Kee rowing across the pond on a lily pad]
\nSomehow I cannot hide [Mulan walking into the family temple]
\nWho I am [Cri-Kee watches Mulan in the temple seeing multiple reflections of
\nherself in the ancestors' stones]
\nThough I've tried  [Mulan bows to the ancestors]
\nWhen will my reflection show
\nWho I am inside?  [Mulan finishes wiping off her make-up seeing her reflection
\nin the stones]
\nWhen will my reflection show
\nWho I am inside? [Mulan gets up and heads out the temple]<\/p>\n
[End of song.  Mulan sits on a bench under the blossom tree.  Fa Zhou
\napproaches her, clearing his throat.  Mulan sees him approaching and turns her
\nhead away.  Fa Zhou sits down beside Mulan]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  My, my, what beautiful blossoms we have this year [looking up into
\nthe blossom tree].  But look, this one's late.  But, I'll bet that when it
\nblooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.  [Mulan and Fa Zhou share
\nsmiles.  Drums start pounding announcing the arrival of Chi Fu and two guards
\non horseback]<\/p>\n
Mulan:  What is it?<\/p>\n
[Fa Zhou gets up and walks to the entrance of their house with Mulan
\nfollowing]<\/p>\n
Fa Li:  Mulan, stay inside.<\/p>\n
[Grandma Fa clears her throat catching Mulan's attention and motions inside.
\nMulan spies the railing near the wall and climbs up to watch over the roof]<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  Citizens  I bring you a proclamation from the Imperial City:  the
\nHuns have invaded China!<\/p>\n
Townspeople [expressing surprise]:  No!<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  By order of the Emperor, one man from every family must serve in the
\nImperial Army.  The Xiao family [a family member steps up, bows to the guard
\nand takes the conscription notice from the guard].  The Yi family.<\/p>\n
Yi's Son [holding his old father back]:  I will serve the Emperor in my
\nfather's place.<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  The Fa Family.<\/p>\n
Mulan:  No.<\/p>\n
[Fa Zhou gives his cane to Fa Li and walks toward Chi Fu.  Fa Zhou bows before
\nthe horsemen]<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [standing proud]:  I am ready to serve the Emperor.  [Fa Zhou reaches
\nfor the conscription notice]<\/p>\n
Mulan [running outside to keep her father from taking the conscription
\nnotice]:  Father, you can't go.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [turning to see his daughter]:  Mulan!<\/p>\n
Mulan:  Please sir, my father has already fought bravely--<\/p>\n
Chi Fu:  Silence!  You would do well to teach your daughter to hold her tongue
\nin a man's presence.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [looking away from Mulan]:  Mulan, you dishonor me.<\/p>\n
[Grandma Fa guides Mulan back away]<\/p>\n
Chi Fu [handing Fa Zhou the conscription notice]:  Report tomorrow at the Wu
\nShu camp.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  Yes, sir. [Fa Zhou walks back into the homestead refusing to take
\nhis cane from Fa Li]<\/p>\n
Chi Fu [fading out as we follow Fa Zhou]:  The Chu family.  The Wen family.
\nThe Chang family.  The...<\/p>\n
[Cut to Fa Zhou in his armory at night.  Fa Zhou takes out his sword and
\npractices his stances.  Whan he balances on his right leg, his leg injury acts
\nup and he falls.  Unbeknownst to her father, Mulan watches in horror.  She
\nbreathes heavily]<\/p>\n
[Cut to dinner.  The Fa Zhou, Grandma Fa, Fa Li, and Mulan eat in silence.
\nThunder can be heard and lightning can be seen through the opaque window.
\nMulan pours the tea for her family.  She slams her teacup down on the table
\nand stands up]<\/p>\n
Mulan:  You shouldn't have to go.<\/p>\n
Fa Li:  Mulan!<\/p>\n
Mulan:  There are plenty of young men to fight for China.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  It is an honor to protect my country and my family.<\/p>\n
Mulan [angrily]:  So you'll die for honor!<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [standing up and angered]:  I will DIE doing what's right.<\/p>\n
Mulan [starts to speak but is cut off]: But if you--<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou:  I know my place, it is time you learned yours.<\/p>\n
[Mulan looking like she's about to cry, turn away from Fa Zhou and runs
\noutside into the rain storm and cries]<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan sitting at the base of the Great Stone Dragon in the rain.
\nMulan looks down to see her reflection in the puddle caused by the rain. She
\nwatches her parents in the bedroom.  Fa Li turns away from Fa Zhou and walks
\nout of site.  Fa Zhou blows out the light.  Mulan gets up and walks to the Fa
\nFamily Temple.  Mulan's image reflects off the stone tablets as she lights
\nincense and places it in the hanging encense holder.  She bows and prays to
\nher ancestors. Getting up, Mulan hurries down the steps.  Cri-Kee sees her and
\nhops down from above and follows her.  Mulan goes to her parent's bedroom and
\ntakes the conscription notice replacing it with the hair comb her mother gave
\nto her.  She pauses to give her parents a loving, sorrowful look and hurries
\nout.  Cut to Mulan in the armory.  She opens the cabinet with the armor.
\nUsing her father's sword, she cuts her hair short and ties it up above her
\nhead.  She finishes putting on the armor and ties it in the front.  She takes
\nthe sword and places it in the scabbard to her left.  Cut to Mulan in the
\nstable doorway.  Khan rears back in fright at the sight of Mulan.  Mulan goes
\nforward and comforts Khan letting him know her identity.  Mulan walks Khan out
\nof the stable, Cri-Kee watches from the ground as she passes by.  Mulan takes
\none sorrowful glance back at her parents bedroom and rides Khan through the
\ngate and off to camp.]<\/p>\n
[Cut to the face of a statue in the Fa Family Temple.  The eyes glow.  Cut to
\nGrandma Fa.  She wakes up with a start rising in bed.  Cut to Grandma Fa
\nwalking into Fa Li and Fa Zhou's bedroom, both are in bed]<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa:  Mulan is gone.<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [waking up]:  What?  It can't be.  [Fa Zhou looks at his night stand
\nand notices the hair comb in place of his conscription notice.  He checks the
\ncabinet and sees his armor is gone.  He hurries outside] [calling out]  Mulan!
\n[He stumbles while walking because of his leg injury] No.<\/p>\n
Fa Li [kneeling down beside the fallen Fa Zhou]:  You must go after her.  She
\ncould be killed!<\/p>\n
Fa Zhou [sadly]:  If I reveal her, she will be. [Fa Zhou embraces Fa Li]<\/p>\n
Grandma Fa:  Ancestors, hear our prayer: Watch over Mulan.<\/p>\n
[Cut to the Fa Family Temple.  A wind blows out the incense at the base of the
\ncenter stone.  The center stone begins to glow as First Ancestor comes to
\nlife]<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [motioning to a bronze dragon]:  Mushu, awaken!<\/p>\n
[Mushu comes to life and falls to the ground flat on his back all being
\nobscured by smoke]<\/p>\n
Mushu [rising from the smoke arms stretched out]:  I live!  So tell me what
\nmortal needs my protection Great Ancestor.  You just say the word and I'm
\nthere.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [agitated]:  Mushu!<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Hey, let me say something. Anybody who is foolish enough to threaten
\nour family, vengeance will be MINE.  Hrrrrr.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [sternly to silence Mushu]:  Mushu!  These are the family
\nguardians [motioning towards the stone statues on pedestals near the ceiling].
\nThey...<\/p>\n
Mushu [dejectedly]:  Protect the family.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [pointing to the empty pedestal]:  And you, oh demoted one.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  I...ring the gong.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor:  That's right, now, wake up the ancestors.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  One family reunion coming right up.  [ringing the gong] Okay people,
\npeople look alive, lets go! C'mon get up.  Let's move it, rise and shine.
\nYou're way past the beauty sleep thing now trust me!<\/p>\n
Ancestor 1:  I knew it, I knew it. That Mulan was a trouble maker from the
\nstart.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 3:  Don't look at me, she gets it from your side of the family.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 2:  She's just trying to help her father.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 4 [appearing out of thin air]:  But, if she is discovered, Fa Zhou
\nwill be forever shamed.  Dishonor will come to the family.  Traditional values
\nwill disintegrate.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 5:  Not to mention they'll lose the farm.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 1:  My children never caused such trouble.  They all became
\nacupuncturists.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 3:  Well, We can't all be acupuncturists.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 6:  No, your great granddaughter had to be cross-dresser!<\/p>\n
[All ancestors argue at once, except First Ancestor]<\/p>\n
Ancestor 7:  Let a guardian bring her back.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 8 [grabbing Mushu and bringing him next to a guardian]: Yeah, awaken
\nthe most cunning.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 4 [taking Mushu and holding him next to the stone rabbit guardian]:
\nNo, the swiftest.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 9 [grabbing Mushu and holding him next to the stone monkey guardian]:
\nNo, send the wisest.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor:  Silence!  We must send the most powerful of all [Motioning to
\nthe Great Stone Dragon as it is seen through the window]<\/p>\n
Mushu [climbs up the empty guardian post laughing]:  Ho, ho, heh, heh. Okay,
\nokay, I get the drift, I'll go. [All Ancestors give a quick look of surprise
\nand laugh uncontrollably]  You all don't think I can do it.  Watch this here.
\n[Mushu produces a small flame from his mouth]  Ah, ha, Jump back, I'm pretty
\nhot huh.  Don't make me have to singe nobody to prove no point.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [grabbing Mushu and pulling away from the post]:  You had your
\nchance to protect the Fa family.<\/p>\n
Ancestor 6:  Your mis-guidance led Fa Deng to disaster.<\/p>\n
Fa Deng [with his decapitated head on his lap]:  Yeah, thanks a lot.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  And your point is?<\/p>\n
First Ancestor:  The point is we will be sending a real dragon to retrieve
\nMulan.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  What?  But I'm a real dragon.<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [grabbing Mushu and pulling him away from the guardian post as
\nMushu fights to hold on]:  You are not worthy of this spot.  Now, awaken the
\nGreat Stone Dragon.  [First Ancestor throws Mushu out of the temple]<\/p>\n
Mushu [looking back into the temple]:  So you'll get back to me on the job
\nthing.<\/p>\n
[An ancestor throws Mushu's gong and hits Mushu in the face]<\/p>\n
Mushu [walking with a slouch and banging the gong on the ground]:  Just one
\nchance is that too much to ask?  I mean, it's not like it'll kill ya.<\/p>\n
Mushu [rings the gong and looks at the Great Stone Dragon]:  Yo rocky, wake
\nup!  You gotta go fetch Mulan.  [pauses as nothing happens.  Mushu walks over
\nto the side of the statue] C'mon boy, go get her, go on, [throws the gong
\nstick off the screen and whistles] Come on.  [Angrily while climbing up the
\nGreat Stone Dragon] Grrr, Grrrr.  [speaking in his ear and banging the ear
\nwith the gong] Hello, helloooooo. [curtly] Hello [bangs the gong extra hard
\nagainst the ear causing it to break off].  Uh oh.  [The Great Stone Dragon
\ncrumbles to the ground, head intact minus the ear].  [knocks on the dragon's
\nhead] Uh, Stoney, Stooooneeey.  Oh man, they're gonna kill me!<\/p>\n
First Ancestor [calling out through the temple window]:  Great Stone Dragon,
\nhave you awaken?<\/p>\n
Mushu [holding the head of the Great Stone Dragon up to that First Ancestor
\ncan only see it's head and Mushu's body]:  Uhhh, Yes, I just woke up.  And I
\nam the Great Stone Dragon, good morning [Mushu waves].  I will go forth and
\nfetch Mulan.  Did, did I mention that I was the Great Stone Dragon?<\/p>\n
First Ancestor:  Go, The fate of the Fa Family rests in your claws.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Don't even worry about it, I will not lose face.  [Mushu falls down
\nthe hill under the weight of the Great Stone Dragon's head and lands on the
\ndragon's pedestal with the head falling on top of him]<\/p>\n
Mushu [muffled]:  Ow, my elbow.  Aw, aw, I know I twisted something.
\n[Throwing the head off him]  That's just great.  Now what?  I'm doomed!   And
\nall 'cause miss man decides to take her little drag show on the road.<\/p>\n
[Cri-Kee enters stage right]<\/p>\n
Cri-Kee:  Chirp, Chirp.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Go get her?   What's the matter with you?  After this great stone
\nHumpty Dumpty mess, I'd have to bring her home with a medal to get back in the
\ntemple.  Wait a minute, that's it!  I make Mulan a war hero, then they'll be
\nbegging me to come back to work.  That's the master plan.  Oh, you've gone and
\ndone it now. [Mushu runs off stage right]<\/p>\n
Cri-Kee [hopping along side of Mushu]:  Chirp.  Chirp Chirp Chirp.<\/p>\n
Mushu [pushing Cri-Kee away]:  Hey, what makes you think you're coming?<\/p>\n
Cri-Kee:  Chirp, Chirp.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  You're lucky?  Ho, ho, heh.  Do I look like a sucker to you?<\/p>\n
Cri-Kee:  Chirp. Chirp.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Whach' you mean loser?  How 'bout I pop one of your antenna's off and
\nthrow it across the yard.  Then who's a loser, me or you?<\/p>\n
[Interlude]<\/p>\n
[Cut to Shan-Yu leading his army at a charge on horseback through a forest.
\nHe stops and motions stage right.  Hun Archer, Hun Strong Guy, Hun Long-Hair
\nGuy dismount and walk into the forest.  They throw down two Imperial scouts
\nbefore the rest of the army]<\/p>\n
Hun Long-Hair Guy:  Imperial scouts.<\/p>\n
[Shan Yu dismounts and walks towards the scouts]<\/p>\n
Scout #1:  Shan-Yu.<\/p>\n
[He crouches down in front of them]<\/p>\n
Shan-Yu [adjusting Scout #1's collar]:  Nice work, gentlemen.  You found the
\nHun army. [motioning to the soldiers on horseback.  The Hun army laughs]<\/p>\n
Scout #2:  The Emperor will stop you.<\/p>\n
Shan-Yu [grabs Scout #2 by the shirt collar and lifts him up to his face]:
\nStop me?  He invited me.  By building his wall, he challenged my strength.
\nWell I'm here to play his game  [Shan-Yu throws Scout #2 to the ground and
\npoints his sword at Scout #1 as he gets up and runs] [calling out to the
\nscouts] Go!  Tell your emperor to send his strongest armies.  [Quietly]  I'm
\nready.<\/p>\n
[The Imperial Scouts run off towards the palace]<\/p>\n
Shan-Yu [scratching his chin]:  How many men does it take to deliver a
\nmessage.<\/p>\n
Archer Guy [drawing back his bow]:  One.<\/p>\n
[End Interlude]<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan on a hill outside of the camp.  Khan is sitting watching]<\/p>\n
Mulan:  Okay, okay, how 'bout this?  Ahem, [in her manly voice] excuse me,
\nwhere do I sign in?  Hah, I see you have a sword.  I have one too.  They're
\nvery manly and tough [Mulan bites her lip as she mishandles pulling the sword
\nout of the scabbard and it falls to the ground.  Khan rolls on his back in
\nlaughter.  Mulan throws her shoe and hits Khan in the head with it quieting
\nKhan].  I'm working on it.  Who am I fooling?  It's going to take a miracle to
\nget me into the army.<\/p>\n
[Mushu appears as a giant shadow being cast on a rock with flames on either
\nside.  Mushu's real appearance remains out of sight]<\/p>\n
Mushu [in a Southern Baptist Preacher's voice]:  Did I hear someone ask for a
\nmiracle!?  Let me hear you say aye!<\/p>\n
Mulan [Running and hiding behind a rock]:  Ahhhhhh.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  That's close enough.<\/p>\n
Mulan [from behind a rock]:  Ghost.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Get ready Mulan your serpentine salvation is at hand.  For I have
\nbeen sent by your ancestors-- [notices Cri-Kee making a hand shadow of a
\ndragon on the rock and stamps him down with his foot] to guide you through
\nyour masquerade.  [bending down to Cri-Kee]  C'mon, you're gonna stay you're
\ngonna work. [returning to Mulan] Heed my word, 'cause if the army finds out
\nthat you are a girl, the penalty is death. [big flames shoot up from the
\nrocks]<\/p>\n
Mulan:  Who are you?<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Who am I?  Who am I?  I am the guardian of lost souls. [Mulan smiles
\nbig in anticipation of seeing her guardian] I am the powerful, the
\npleasurable, the indestructible [coming out from the rocks to show his real
\nsize] Mushu! Oh hah, hah, pretty hot, huh? [Khan stomps on Mushu.  Mulan
\npushes Khan back]<\/p>\n
Mulan:  Ah, my ancestors sent a little lizard to help me?<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Hey, dragon, dragon,  not lizard.  I don't do that tongue thing [flips
\nout his tongue to show Mulan what he means].<\/p>\n
Mulan:  You're uh...<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Intimidating?  Awe inspiring?<\/p>\n
Mulan [making a hand gesture to denote his smallness of size]: Tiny.<\/p>\n
Mushu [with a look of disappointment]:  Of course.  I'm travel size for your
\nconvenience.  If I was my real size, your cow here [patting Khan on the nose]
\nwould die of fright.  [Khan tries to bite Mushu]  [pointing to the ground
\nspeaking to Khan] Down Bessy.  My powers are beyond your mortal imagination.
\nFor instance, [leaning in and looking at Mulan's chest] my eyes can see
\nstraight through your armor.  [Mulan cover her bust with her left arm and
\nslaps Mushu with the right]  Ow.  [angrily] All right, that's it!  Dishonor!
\nDishonor on your whole family.  [aside to Cri-Kee] Make a note of this
\n[Cri-Kee grabs a leaf and a pen and starts writing].  [Loudly with gusto]
\nDishonor on you.  Dishonor on your cow.  Dis-<\/p>\n
Mulan [pleadingly while covering Mushu's mouth]:  Stop!  I'm sorry, I'm sorry
\n[kneeling down in front of Mushu].  I'm just nervous.  I've never done this
\nbefore.<\/p>\n
Mushu: Then you're gonna have to trust me.  And don't you slap me no more, we
\nclear on that?  [Mulan nods emphatically].  All right.  Okey dokey, let's get
\nthis show on the road.  Cri-Kee, get the bags [Mushu starts walking to the
\ncamp].  [to Khan] Let's move it heifer.<\/p>\n
[Cut to Mulan at the camp's entrance]<\/p>\n
Mushu [hiding in Mulan's armor poking his head out from her back]:  Okay this
\nis it, time to show 'em your man walk.  Shoulders back,  chest high, feet
\napart, head up [Mushu pulls Mulan's head back]  ...and strut 2, 3, break it
\ndown, 2, 3 and work it, [Mulan walks into the camp drawing the attention the
\nmen who see her.  Mulan walks into a tent and sees a man picking his nose and
\nanother man picking out dirt from between his toes with chopsticks] Beautiful
\nisn't it?<\/p>\n
Mulan [making a face of disgust and continuing to walk]:  They're disgusting.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  No, they're men.  And you're going to have to act just like them, so
\npay attention.<\/p>\n
[Mulan stops and watches Yao, Ling, Chien-Po and Tattoo Soldier]<\/p>\n
Tattoo Soldier [showing the dragon tattoo on his chest and belly]:  Look, this
\ntattoo will protect me from harm.<\/p>\n
[Yao thinks for a moment, then punches Tattoo Soldier in the stomach causing
\nLing to laugh.  Mulan watches in utter amazement.  Yao kisses his hand]<\/p>\n
Ling [laughing]:  I hope you can get your money back.<\/p>\n
Mulan:  I don't think I can do this.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  It's all attitude.  Be tough like this guy here [looking at Yao].<\/p>\n
[Mulan looks at Yao as he hocks up a loogie and spits]<\/p>\n
Yao [noticing Mulan watching him]:  What are you looking at?<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Punch him, it's how men say 'hello.'<\/p>\n
[Mulan looks at her fist, then punches Yao from behind on the shoulder.  The
\nforce causes Yao to run into Chien-Po]<\/p>\n
Chien-Po:  Oh Yao, you made a friend.<\/p>\n
Mushu:  Good, Now slap him on the behind, they like that.<\/p>\n
[Mulan slaps Yao on the behind]<\/p>\n
Yao:  Wu hoo hooooo.  [grabbing Mulan buy the collar]  I'm going to hit you so
\nhard it'll make your ancestors dizzy.<\/p>\n
Chien-Po [Holding and picking up Yao]:  Yao, relax and chant with me.
\nYaaaaaaa Moouuuu Ahhhhhh Doooou Fuuuu Daaaaa.<\/p>\n
