Boar : What are you doing? You are nothing! I just defeated Shifu!
Young Tigress : No. I'm not Shifu.
[growls]
Young Tigress : I am Tigress.
-
Oogway : [rain falls, thunder rumbles] A cleaner, a comedian, a dancer, and even a little doctor. It was no accident that you found them.
Young Tigress : I failed Shifu.
Oogway : Worse, you are failing yourself. No matter how much you try, you will never be Shifu.
Oogway : [dramatic pause] The question is... can you be Tigress?
-
Shifu : [the Five have just arrived at the Jade Palace] Sloppy, very sloppy. Your technique is unorthodox and undisciplined. Training begins right away.
Shifu : [Tigress sighs sadly] Tigress! What are you doing?
Shifu : [Shifu opens the doors to the Jade Palace's gym] It's time to develop this 'tiger style' of yours. I am very proud of you.
Young Tigress : [Tigress sighs joyfully] Master.
Shifu : Wait, You're welcome to stay. You fought well, with courage and honor. We must explore those skills of yours.
Shifu : [Tigress giggles softly; Shifu talks to Mantis] You are tiny, very small, but I already know how much pain you can inflict.
Mantis : You're welcome.
Shifu : [to Monkey] Oh, four fists, huh? I think you should be able to handle this.
[Shifu gives a combat staff to Monkey, then examines Crane's wings]
Shifu : Hmm, whatever their nature, your limbs will become your weapons. your shields, your best allies.
Shifu : [Shifu goes to Viper next] Ah, right, no legs.
Viper : [sheepishly] Yeah, oops.
Shifu : We'll work something out.
[Viper giggles]
Shifu : All right then, we have five new kung fu styles to perfect.
-
Shifu : Straighten up!
Young Tigress : Yes, Master Shifu.
Shifu : Wider! Lower stance, hold your ground. Steady! Strong! Chin up; this is the way of kung fu.
[grunts]
Oogway : I can't even tell them apart.
Shifu : [grunts] Focus, control!
[Shifu continues to grunt while Tigress does her exercises]
Shifu : [Tigress lets out a small hiss] Control!
Oogway : [Tigress roars and leaps into the air] Ahh, there she is.
Shifu : [Tigress lands on the ground] What are you doing? That's not proper form! This is not control. and stand on your feet!
Young Tigress : I'm sorry, Master, I - I don't know what got into me, I won't let it happen again.
Shifu : I wish I could believe that.
[sighs]
Shifu : 100 laps.
Young Tigress : Yes, Master Shifu.
Shifu : Higher knees!
Young Tigress : Yes, Master Shifu!
Oogway : She wants to make you proud.
Shifu : Well, maybe I could be proud if she was doing the correct form.
Oogway : 'Your' form.
Shifu : Is there another kind?
Oogway : Shifu, an acorn can only become the mighty oak, not a cherry tree. You must let her grow into what she will be.
-
Young Tigress : Master, it would be an honor to fight for you.
Shifu : No, you are not ready. Oof!
[an ailing Shifu belches from indigestion, while Oogway chuckles]
Shifu : [to the goose] Get me a scroll.
Shifu : [Shifu writes on the scroll] This is a list of four warriors, find them in the Wang Fu village and hurry!
Oogway : No, send Tigress.
Young Tigress : Master, I won't disappoint you.
Oogway : Mmm.
Shifu : Be back before dawn. Do not fail me.
Young Tigress : I will make you proud.
Shifu : Hmm.
-
Young Tigress : May I add... it was an honor to serve you.
Shifu : Why Tigress, what is this?
[coughs]
Young Tigress : The - the warriors on your list.
Viper : Warriors?
Crane : Uh...
Viper : Where?
Shifu : [reads Po's scroll] This is not my list. Where are the warriors that I sent for?
Warrior : [the four other red panda warriors that Shifu intended to recruit are playing cards back at the temple in Wang Fu] Uh, is it my turn?
Young Tigress : I - I don't understand, it must be an accident.
Oogway : Ah, there are no acci -
[Shifu stops Oogway from completing his sentence]
Young Tigress : Master, forgive me.
Warrior : You disappoint me. Who will defend the valley now?
Crane : Wait, we can help Tigress.
Young Tigress : What?
Crane : We can... fight... a little... bit.
Viper : Yes, you can count me in, too.
Monkey : Let's do this.
Mantis : I'm not actually even a doctor, so I'm in.
Shifu : You can help by leaving.
Monkey : Okay, bye.
Young Tigress : No, no, Master, please listen. I have seen them, they have skills.
Shifu : But they are not the warriors I sent for!
Young Tigress : It's been an honor to know you.
Monkey : Oh...
Viper : But, Tigress...

Boar : [Tigress takes a few calming breaths to prepare herself for battle; Boar blasts through the forests] I am Boar!
Young Tigress : [Boar approaches] I hold my ground... steady, strong. This is the way of kung fu.
Boar : [Boar snorts derisively as he approaches] So, you're gonna stop me? Ha ha ha ha ha, let's see!
Boar : [Tigress punches Boar, pushing him backward, Boar gets up and approaches Tigress] Is that all you got? I'm disappointed.
Boar : [Tigress blocks Boar's punches with her arms,before he knocks her down] I was expecting a challenge!
[laughs]

Young Po : [starts to pick mushrooms, then pauses when he sees Tigress fighting Boar, he gasps in awe] Ohh.
Mantis : [Tigress continues to punch and kick Boar] Buddy, hold your breath, it's gonna hurt!
Young Tigress : [Tigress kicks Boar, who skids in the dirt] All right, all together! Ha! Twist your hips, recoil, and extend!
Boar : [the Furious Five deliver flying kicks to Boar, knocking his tusks out] I've... been... stopped.
Young Po : [Boar hits the ground and passes out; Po's eyes turn into hearts as he witnesses kung fu for the first time in his life] Kung fu. I know, I know what I want to do! I know what I want to do! Whoa! Ohh...
[Po trips on the ground, then gets back up]
Young Tigress : I guess we're done here.
Monkey : Hey, we could be a team!
Young Tigress : Yes.
Crane : Great!
Mantis : What should we call ourselves?
[Boar groans from pain]
