Shifu: When you focus on kung fu, when you concentrate... you stink.
[Po frowns]

[pulls out a bowl of dumplings]
Po: Oh great, 'cause I'm *hungry*!
Shifu: [laughs and pulls the bowl away] Good. When you have been trained, you may eat.

[Lei Lei giggles as she plays with the Tigress action figure]

Tai: [exhausted after fighting Po] You... can't defeat me! You... you're just a big... fat... panda!

[imitating Shifu]
Po: You will never be the Dragon Warrior, unless you lose 500 pounds, and brush your teeth!
[everyone except Tigress laughs]

[at his dad's cafe]
Po: We'll have two Justice platters, please.

Po: He was so deadly, in fact, that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness!

Po: They must be close. I can feel a Kung Fu chill riding up my spine.
Viper: Sorry, Po. It's just me.

Po: Ow! I thought you said acupuncture would make me feel *better*!
Mantis: Trust me, it will. It's just not easy finding the right nerve points under all this...
Po: Fat?
Mantis: Fur! I was gonna say fur.
Po: Sure you were.
Mantis: Who am I to judge a warrior based on his size, I mean, look at me!

Kai: Who are you?
Po: I've been asking myself that question. Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? A student? A teacher? I'm all of those things.
[Po's chi forms the shape of a dragon around him]
Po: I am the Dragon Warrior! Get it? You see the giant dragon?

Po: Watch me!
[tries to run around Shifu]
Po: Come on! How am I supposed to beat Tai Lung? I can't even beat you to the stairs!
Shifu: You will beat him because you are the Dragon Warrior!
[pokes Po in his stomach]
Po: You don't believe that!
[Shifu swipes at his hand with Oogway's stick]
Po: You never believed that! From the first moment I got here, you've been trying to get rid of me!
[Shifu knocks him to the ground]
Shifu: Yes! I was! But now I ask you to trust in your master as I have come to trust in mine.
Po: You're not my master. And I'm not the Dragon Warrior.
Shifu: Then why didn't you quit? You knew I was trying to get rid of you, yet you stayed!
Po: Yeah, I stayed. I stayed, because every time you threw a brick at my head, or said I smelled, it *hurt*; but it could never hurt more than every day of my life just being *me*! I *stayed* because I thought, if anyone can change me, can make me... *not* me, it was you! The greatest kung fu teacher in all of China!
Shifu: But I can change you! I *can* turn you into the Dragon Warrior! And I will!
Po: Come on! Tai Lung is on his way here right now! And even if it takes him a hundred years to get here, how are *you* gonna change *this* into the Dragon Warrior? Huh? How? How? How!

[sighs]
Shifu: I don't know.
Po: [sighs] That's what I thought.

Po: Don't tempt me.

Crane: So that was stealth mode?
Po: Yeah, to be honest, not one of my stronger modes.

Po: Dad, there's something you should know. While I was gone, I found the village where I was born. I found out how I ended up in that radish basket.
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.

Monkey: At the first sign of trouble, I'll give you a signal. Ka-Ka! Kee-Kee!

Kai: You must be the Dragon Warrior.
Po: And you must be Kai. Beast of vengeance, Maker of widows.

Po: Augh! chit-chat
Kai: In the...
Po: Chitty-chitty-chat-chat, chat-chat-chat!

Po: [Shifu has made a flower bloom with the power of chi] Woah! What was that?
Shifu: That was chi.
Po: Wow! What's chi?
Shifu: The energy that flows through *all* living things.
Po: So you're saying if I-so you're saying if I teach, I'll be able to do cool stuff like that?
Shifu: No, I'm saying if you teach, *I'll* be able to do cool stuff like that.
Po: Oh.
Shifu: Mastering chi requires mastery of self. Oogway sat alone in a cave for *thirty* years, asking one question: who am I? Who am I? I'm lucky if I get five minutes before you interrupt...
Po: Aw, so now I have to sit alone in a cave for thirty years?
Shifu: Eventually. After you master teaching.
Po: Teaching? There's no way I'm ever gonna be like you!
Shifu: I'm not trying to turn you into me; I'm trying to turn you into you.

Viper: Are you ready?
Po: I was born read...

Po: Hey, guys...
Tigress: [bowing low before Po] Master.
[the rest of the Five follow suit]
Po: Master?... Master Shifu!

Shifu: The student has truly become the tea - Wait. Where did you get that?
Po: Oh, this. Oogway gave it to me in the spirit realm.
Shifu: Ugh, of course he did.
Po: I think I mastered Chi.
Shifu: Oh, of course you did. Can you teach me?

Po: The Sword of Heroes! Said to be so sharp you can get cut just by looking at - Ow!

Po: Who are you?
Li: I'm Li Shang. I'm looking for my son.
[everybody gasps]
Po: You lost your son?
Li: Yes. Many years ago.
Po: I lost my father.
Li: I'm very sorry.
Po: Thank you.
[pause]
Li: Well, good luck to you.
Po: You too. I hope you find your son.
Li: And I hope you find your father.
[they both walk off, everyone facepalms]

Po: Nothing's unstoppable except for me when I'm stopping you from telling me something's unstoppable.

Shifu: Let us begin.
Po: What? Well, uh, I don't know if I can do *all* those moves...
Shifu: [chuckles] Well, we'll never know unless we try, will we?
Po: Well, maybe we could start out with something more at, you know, my level.
Shifu: And what level is that?
Po: Uh, well, I'm not a master but, let's just say zero, level zero.
Shifu: [chuckles] There is no such thing as level zero.
Po: Well, what about that?
[He indicates a small dummy]
Shifu: That? We use that for training children, and for propping the door open when it's hot. But, if you insist...

Po: Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Oogway: Quit, don't quit... Noodles, don't noodles... You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Po: No! The Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors; said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu Army!
Po: [whispering to the urn] Hello?
Shifu: [from behind Po] Have you finished sight-seeing?
Po: [stunned, thinking the voice had come from the urn] Oh, sorry! I should've come to see you first!
Shifu: My patience is wearing thin.
Po: Oh. Well, I mean it's not like you were going anywhere.

Po: [dueling Kai in the Spirit Realm] You want my chi so bad? Then take it.
[Po redirects his chi to Kai]
Kai: Yes, the power is *mine*!
[as the chi fills his body, he begins to glow and his jade amulets float away]
Kai: Wait, no. It's too much. That's too much. No!
[Kai vanishes in a burst of light]
Kai: NO!

Po: [determined] I am Po... and I'm gonna need a hat.

Po: The peacock was there the last time I saw my parents! He knows what happened! Where I came from! Who I am.
[pause]
Po: Look, I'm going. I have to know. The hardcore can't understand.
[Tigress lunges at Po]
Viper: Tigress, no!
[Tigress hugs Po; Crane's jaw drops]
Tigress: The hardcore DO understand. But I can't watch my friend be killed.
[pulls away]
Tigress: [to the rest] We're going.
Crane: Uh, maybe you can't watch *me* be killed?
Tigress: Stop being a wimp.
Monkey: ...And, she's back.

Tigress: Impressive, Dragon Warrior! What's your plan?
Po: Step one, free the Five!
Viper: What's step two?
Po: Honestly, I didn't think I was gonna make it this far.
Tigress: Po!
Po: Uh, stop Shen before he gets to the harbor!

Po: [Tigress catches him beating up the ship's mast] Uh, I'm... training.
Tigress: The mast is not a worthy opponent.
[flips through the air and lands beside Po with her hand extended toward him]
Tigress: I am ready.
Po: Okay. So serious...

Shen: Are you willing to die to find the truth?
Po: You bet I am...! Although, I'd prefer not to.

Po: There's no way I can stop him!
Li: Unless you had an army of your own.
Po: You don't even know kung fu!
Li: Then you will teach us.

Shifu: If you only do what you can do, you'll never be better than what you are.
Po: But I like who I am!
Shifu: You don't even know who you are!

Po: Skadoosh!

Gang: I see you like to chew. Maybe you should chew... ON MY FIST!
[smashes fist on table]
Po: [voice-over] The warrior said nothing, for his mouth was full. Then he swallowed...
[swallows]
Po: And then he spoke!
Po: [to Boss and minions] Enough talk, let's fight!

Po: [looking around at the historical artifacts in the palace] Wow! I've only seen paintings of that painting!

Po: [leaps into a fight] Enemies of justice, prepare for...
[sees he's leapt too far and is going over them]
Po: Are you kidding me?
[crashes]

Po: The Furious Five! You're so much bigger than your action figures! Except you, Mantis. You're about the same.

[from trailer]
Po: Master Shifu? Good time, bad time?
Shifu: Time is an allusion, there is only the now.
Po: So now is a... good time?
Shifu: Oh!

Po: I don't know what she told you, but I am done.
Shifu: teaching or been humiliating?
Po: both, I don't know why you ever thought I could teach that class.
Shifu: I knew you couldn't
Po: what? You set me up to fail? why?
Shifu: if you only do what you can do you will never be more than you are now.
Po: I don't want to be more; I like who I am.
Shifu: you don't even know who you are
Po: what? Of course, I do, I am the dragon worrier
Shifu: And what exactly does that means?... dragon worrier
