Mr. Ping: What am I doing? Getting a backache! Did you have to step on every rock?
Po: No, I mean why are you here ?
Mr. Ping: What was I supposed to do, huh? What if the pandas don't have food you like? You're never gonna be able to save the world on an empty stomach. I consider my presence mission critical.
Li: Oh yes, about that. We can't share the location of the village with others. So...
Mr. Ping: Oh, you think I can't keep a secret, huh? I raised Po for twenty years before I finally told him he was adopted.
Li: Seriously?
Po: Yeah.
Li: OK, I guess it would be cruel to make you fly back.
Po: [amazed] You can fly?

Mr. Ping: You did?
Po: I know who I am.
Mr. Ping: [nervously] You do?
Po: ...I'm your son.
Mr. Ping: Oh...
Po: [picks him up and hugs him] I love you, Dad.
Mr. Ping: I love you too, son.

Po: Huh?
Mr. Ping: You heard me. Nothing! There is no secret ingredient.

Mr. Ping: Don't have to. To make something special you just have to believe it's special.

Po: There is no secret ingredient...
