- Fa Mulan: What is it with men and asking directions?
- Captain Li Shang: What is it with women and maps?
- Captain Li Shang: My Lord, I love Mulan. And I don't care what the rules say. If she'll have me, I intend to marry her right here.
- [Takes Mulan's hands]
- Captain Li Shang: Right now.
- Captain Li Shang: [storming over to Mulan] Mulan!
- Fa Mulan: Why hello, General. Out on night maneuvers?
- Captain Li Shang: General Hardhead?
- [makes a silly yet glaring face]
- Captain Li Shang: Brushing my teeth?
- Fa Mulan: Is - something wrong?
- Captain Li Shang: [scolding Mulan] I heard you, Mulan. Every word.
- [covers his mouth]
- Fa Mulan: Every word of what?
- Captain Li Shang: Don't play coy; I saw you outside my tent!
- Fa Mulan: What? I haven't left my post!
- Captain Li Shang: And I suppose you weren't gossiping about me with the princesses?
- Fa Mulan: Shang, did that dip in the river get you water-logged? And - why are you talking with your hand over your mouth?
- Captain Li Shang: I wouldn't want to peel your PAINT!
- [storms away while Mulan looks on, shocked]
- Yao: [watching Shang leave] Changing of the guard.
- Captain Li Shang: And next time, DON'T LEAVE YOUR POST!
- Fa Mulan: Hmph!
- Yao: What's with him?
- Fa Mulan: [growls in frustration]
- Yao: What's with her? Who'm I talkin' to?
- Captain Li Shang: [rubbing the back of his head and peeking his head in Mulan's room] Mulan? Seems your grandma invited someone to help us celebrate the engagement.
- Fa Mulan: [making a face] Really?... Who?
- Captain Li Shang: [both looking outside at a whole crowd of people in Mulan's front yard] China.
- Crowd: Congratulations!
- [cheers and applause]
- Fa Mulan: [after being asked if their wedding is going to be big] Absolutely!
- Captain Li Shang: Oh ho, no! Blue!
- Fa Mulan: Pink!
- Captain Li Shang: Mild.
- Fa Mulan: Spicy!
- Captain Li Shang: Yes!
- Fa Mulan: No!
- Captain Li Shang: [to the Emperor] This mission does not call for force, but finesse. I know just the men.
- Fa Mulan: China's most honored and noble soldiers.
- [Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po tumble clumsily out from the matchmaker's house in the next shot]
- Captain Li Shang: [after being asked about having children] As many as possible!
- Fa Mulan: Oh, maybe one or two!
- Matchmaker: [to Ling, Chien-Po, and Yao, as they stumble clumsily out the front steps of her house] And stay out! I've found wives for *hundreds* of men, but the Golden Dragon of Unity himself *couldn't* make love matches for you three! Come back when you get personalities!
- Mei: [about Yao; dreamily] Did you see the way he looked at me?
- Ting Ting: Who? The gorilla with the bad eye?
- Mei: Gorilla?
- [Hugs a pillow]
- Mei: He's more like a big, cuddly panda bear.
- Su: But you didn't even talk to him.
- Mei: A true romantic can tell. He may be... coarse on the outside, but on the inside...
- Ting Ting: He's gross?
- Mei: [Glaring] I mean under that.
- Su: He smells?
- [Mei throws a pillow at her]
- Su: Ooof!
- Mei: I can see past my nose.
- [She crawls over to Su and Ting Ting]
- Mei: Deep down. Deep, DEEP down, WAY down...!
- [Grabs a pillow and hugs it]
- Mei: There's something.
- Su: [giggling] Oh! Ting Ting, I think she's in love!
- Captain Li Shang: Now *this* is a battlefield.
- Fa Mulan: What's our strategy, General?
- Captain Li Shang: Divide and conquer.
- [both laugh]
- Captain Li Shang: No, I'm the one who should be sorry. A good leader is opened up to new ideas. Forgive me?
- Fa Mulan: [Mulan takes his hand and smiles] Ah, there's nothing to forgive.
- Captain Li Shang: [to Mulan, surrounded by little girls] Is there someplace private we can talk?
- Sha-Ron: [shaking his arm] We can go to my house!
- Mushu: [hiding behind a wheelbarrow as Mulan and Shang come by on their horses] This is gonna be delicious!
- Fa Mulan: [singing] Like a cloud, you are soft. Like bamboo, you bend in the wind. Creeping slow, you're at peace because you know... it's okay to be afraid.
- Mei: [writing a letter] And so, my dear father, I cannot complete this mission. I have come to realize that my duty is to my heart.
- Ting Ting: What are you doing?
- Su: [reads the letter that Mei wrote] She's running away.
- Ting Ting: Mei, what are you thinking?
- Mei: I can't complete this mission. I know that now.
- Ting Ting: Why? Because Yao has given you his heart?
- Mei: No, it's not about his heart. It's about mine.
- Ting Ting: Mei, we've discussed this. A princess must make every sacrifice for her country. It's our duty.
- Mushu: [doing a perfect voice imitation of Mulan on a dummy outside Shang's tent] General Shang? General Hardhead, that's what they should call him! Everything's got to have a strategy!
- Captain Li Shang: [barely awake] Mulan?
- Mushu: [still sounding like Mulan] The man won't brush his teeth without a backup plan!
- Captain Li Shang: [awakening slightly] Huh?
- Mushu: [still imitating] I blame myself. I fell for those broad shoulders. I didn't realize there wasn't much sittin' on top of 'em!
- [the dummy's head falls off accidently, then Mushu gasps as he places it back on]
- Mushu: Oh, except for that garlic breath...
- [no longer imitating]
- Mushu: Ooh-whee! That boy can peel paint! Oops!
- [he covers his mouth]
- Captain Li Shang: [Shang gasps and covers his mouth, then kicks off the blanket and marches outside, muttering] That's enough! Where is she?
- Fa Mulan: [singing] You have begun!
- Children: [singing] Lesson number lesson number lesson number lesson number le-sson num-ber one!
