Scorpion : No sooner had Titan Shang Tsung had been defeated than Bi-Han and his loyalists hunted us down. Outnumbered, we fled to Japan. There we sought refuge from an old family friend. As children, we played together. But Harumi Shirai was a woman now, the head of her clan. Her strength, beauty, and intellect awed me. Also incensed by Bi-Han's betrayal, Harumi agreed to help me forge a new clan. One that would stand against him and defend Earthrealm. Her aid proved invaluable. And as time went on, we grew closer. To honor Harumi and pay respects to my new bride, I named the clan after her, calling it the Shirai Ryu. Now the battle against my brother begins in earnest. The Shirai Ryu won't rest until Bi-Han is defeated and the Lin Kuei's honor restored.

Scorpion : Do you realize your soul stealers destroyed lives?
Shang Tsung : The better question is whether I care.
-

-
Scorpion : Not fireproof?
-

[after Johhny Cage beats Kenshi]
Johnny Cage : My house, my rules. So. You have a name or what?
Kenshi : Kenshi Takahashi.
Johnny Cage : Ha! I knew you weren't Taira clan.
Kenshi : You know nothing, Cage.
Johnny Cage : Four hundred years ago, the Taira clan were one of Japan's first families. They lost Sento after getting slaughtered at the Siege of Aomori.
Kenshi : There were survivors. They hid themselves by shedding the name Taira for Takahashi. They joined the Bakuto for its protection.
Johnny Cage : The Yakuza's predecessors... From first family to crime family.
Kenshi : I will break us free of the Yakuza's corruption. Reclaim our name and our position. But my clan won't follow me unless I prove that I can lead. That's why I need Sento.
[doorbell rings]
Johnny Cage : And that's Malibu's Finest. It's a great story. Bullshit... but great. You should seriously consider becoming a screenwriter.
[Johnny opens the door, revealing Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion behind the door]
Johnny Cage : What in the actual fu...
Liu Kang : Good evening, Johnny Cage. I am Liu Kang, Protector of Earthrealm. May we enter?
Johnny Cage : Uh.. Nothing's being shot here tonight, You sure you're in the right place?
Liu Kang : Yes. We come on a matter of grave importance. We must speak to you and your guest.
Johnny Cage : What? How do you know about him?
Liu Kang : Because I am the God of Fire.
Johnny Cage : Cris, you vixen. Nicely done. Sure. Come right in. Glowing eyes are a nice touch.
Liu Kang : Kenshi Takahashi. A tragic figure with a noble cause. Your actions this evening do you no credit.
Kenshi : Who are these people?
Johnny Cage : You tell me. They're your scene partners.
Liu Kang : I also know of your struggles, Johnny Cage. I am here to offer you both a path forward.
Johnny Cage : Dun, dun, duuuun.
[laughs]
Johnny Cage : C'mon guys. Let's call this. Cris was a doll to set this up, but... As pranks go this one's... eh... a bit obvious.
Liu Kang : This is no prank. Bi-Han, Kuai Liang. If you please?
Johnny Cage : All right, all right.
[laughing]
Johnny Cage : I'll play my part in this martial arts LARP. The missus ought to get what she paid for. *Aahh.*
[clearing throat]
Johnny Cage : Ok. *Ahem* *Ahh... * Hey you- Wait, wait... Hey, you! Get your damn hands off him. I said... Get your hands off...
Scorpion : Was that necessary, brother?
Sub-Zero : To put him in his place.
Johnny Cage : [in disbelief] That was a Hichuli! One of the kind! All right, I don't care if this a damned prank. You crossed the line!
