Shang Tsung Quotes in Mortal Kombat (1995)

Shang Tsung: Your soul is mine...

[pause]

Shang Tsung: Fatality.

Shang Tsung: [Johnny Cage is about to fight Goro] Finish him quickly. Pay me my tribute.

Goro: This puny mortal will be no problem. I'll crush him with one blow.

Johnny Cage: All right? Let's dance.

Shang Tsung: Flawless victory!

[about Kano]

Shang Tsung: Why else would I have chosen such a disreputable-looking cretin? Look at him! No dignity, no manners... Yet in the realm of Earth, men like him can amass great wealth, and almost god-like power.

Kano: Yeah, and I'd like to get back to my amassing as soon as possible, if you don't mind! Now when do I get paid?

Shang Tsung: Johnny Cage, I challenge you!

Liu Kang: No! You'll fight me. I am Liu Kang, descendent of Kung Lao. I challenge you to Mortal Kombat.

Shang Tsung: From this moment on, my island will be your battle ground.

[points to Liu Kang]

Shang Tsung: Liu Kang, you will be first. Let Mortal Kombat begin.

[to Goro]

Shang Tsung: You imbecile!

Shang Tsung: Challenging Goro eh? You weren't supposed to fight him now. Are you THAT eager to die?

Cage: I'm not the one who's gonna die.

Shang Tsung: I see. You're very foolish. A true sign of a hero. You want to protect your friends, but make no mistake; they too will die, after Goro destroys you.

Cage: So what's the problem?

Shang Tsung: As you wish. As absurd as your request is I shall grant it. In return, I reserve the right to challenge the winner myself... or another of my choosing. In a place designated by me for the final battle of the tournament.

Cage: You got it pal.

Shang Tsung: We are here to fight in Mortal Kombat. Tomorrow the great Kombat begins, and now a taste of things to come.

Liu Kang: Shang Tsung killed my brother!

Shang Tsung: You're mine!

Shang Tsung: We are not alone.

Liu Kang: All those souls and you still don't have one of your own. I pity you sorcerer.

Shang Tsung: [Enraged] Save your pity for THE WEAK!

Shang Tsung: IT HAS BEGUN!

Liu Kang: [shouting] You can't run from me, Shang!

Shang Tsung: I don't need to run!

Shang Tsung: You will be next!

Shang Tsung: Some of you will even have the distinct honor and pleasure, to face Prince Goro, our reigning champion.
