Shen Quotes in Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Shen: How did you find peace? I took away your parents! Everything! I scarred you for life!

Po: See, that's the thing, Shen. Scars heal.

Shen: No they don't. *Wounds* heal.

Po: Oh, yeah. What do scars do? They fade, I guess?

Shen: I don't *care* what scars do!

Po: You should, Shen. You gotta let go of that stuff from past, because it just doesn't matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.

Shen: You're right. Then I choose *this*!

[Shen attacks Po with his knives; they fight until Shen accidentally dislodges his destroyed cannon and is crushed by it]

Shen: The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing.

Po: Well thank you, but I find your evilness extremely annoying!

Shen: Who do you think you are, Panda?

Po: Who do you think I am, Peacock?

[both laugh for an extended time, each taking turns]

Po: Why are we laughing?

Soothsayer: [foretelling] If you continue on your current path, you will find yourself... at the bottom of the stairs.

[Shen sees he has reached the bottom of the stairs]

Soothsayer: I see... I see... I see, pain!

[she pulls out one of Shen's feathers]

Shen: Ow!

Soothsayer: And anger!

[she takes a bite out of Shen's robe]

Shen: How dare you! This is the finest silk in the province!

Po: Shen! A panda stands between you and your...

[cut to Shen, who can barely hear Po say "destiny"]

Shen: WHAT?

[cut back to Po]

Po: Prepare yourself for a hot...

[cut again to Shen, who can still barely hear anything]

Shen: What?

Shen: Greetings, panda. We meet at...

Po: [interrupting] Hey, how ya doin'?

Shen: [flustered] Eh - hey.

Shen: Call in the wolves. All of them! I want them ready to move. The year of the peacock begins now!

Wolf Boss: Right now? Cause it's the middle of the year... so you'd only get like a half of the year of the peacock.

[Shen glares at him, raising a dagger]

Wolf Boss: And this is the year, of course, of the peacock. Happy new year, sir.

Shen: Get the wolves ready. We're loading the ships now...

[shouts]

Shen: NOW! Now, now, now, now!

Soothsayer: I see... I see... pain.

[plucks out some of Shen's feathers]

Shen: OW!

Soothsayer: And anger.

[chews on the hem of his robe]

Shen: How dare you! That is the finest silk in the province!

Soothsayer: Followed by denial.

Shen: This is not fortune-telling, you're just saying what's happening right...!

Soothsayer: Now?

[Shen glares]

Soothsayer: The most important time, is now.

Shen: Are you willing to die to find the truth?

Po: You bet I am...! Although, I'd prefer not to.

Shen: [triumphantly] You were wrong, Soothsayer!

[wields sword]

Shen: We sail to victory tonight. Your magic panda is clearly a fool!

Soothsayer: [angrily] Are you certain it is the panda that is a fool? You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!

Shen: A trivial sacrifice... when all of China is my reward.

[pokes the burning tip to a map of China, which bursts into a spreading flame]

Soothsayer: Then will you finally be satisfied? Will the subjugation of the whole world finally make you feel better?

Shen: [Sneers] It's a start. I was also thinking of converting the basement into a dungeon.

Soothsayer: [pause] The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.

Shen: And why on Earth would I do that?

Soothsayer: So your parents can rest in peace.

Shen: [bitterly] My parents... hated me. Do you understand? They - they wronged me. And... I will make it right.

Soothsayer: They loved you. They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them.

Shen: [pause] The dead exist in the past. And I must attend to the future.

[to his gorilla guard]

Shen: Set the Soothsayer free. She is of no use to me.

Soothsayer: [sadly] Goodbye, Shen. I wish you happiness.

Shen: Happiness... must be taken. And I will take mine.

Po: And now, to free the Five!

[takes off his hat]

Po: Disc of Destruction!

[He throws his hat... which doesn't go far and lands on a roof right in front of him]

Shen: Okay... take aim!

Shen: How many times do I have to kill the same stinking panda?

Shen: So, one panda lives. That does not make you right.

Soothsayer: You're right. Being *right* makes me right.

Shen: Then I will kill him, and make you wrong!

Shen: Why don't you tell me my...

Soothsayer: Fortune?

Shen: [annoyed] The future. I was going to say "future."

Soothsayer: A peacock... is defeated by a warrior of black and white. Nothing has changed.

Shen: [enraged, then laughs] That is impossible, and you know it.

Soothsayer: It is *not* impossible, and *he* knows it.

Shen: Who?

Wolf Boss: [enters] Lord Shen, I saw a panda!

Shen: A panda?

[jumps on the wolf]

Wolf Boss: A kung fu warrior! He fought like a demon! Big and furry, soft and squishy... kind of plush and cuddly.

[the Soothsayer chews on Shen's robe]

Shen: Will you stop that?

Shen: My father's throne. He used to let me play here beside him, promising me someday this throne would be mine.

[Shen has his father's throne pitched out the window, and a heavy, ornate cannon put in its place]

Shen: A little to the left.

Gorilla Guard #1: But it's so heavy, Master.

Shen: Thirty years I've waited for this moment. Everything must be exactly as I envisioned it. And I envisioned it... a little to the left.

[the gorillas grunt and move the cannon]

Shen: Perfect. With the weapon by my si... uh, a little bit more.

[the gorillas groan and move it again]

Shen: With the weapon by my side, none can stand in my way!

[Shen enters the courtyard of his parents' palace]

Shen: Good afternoon, gentlemen... now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, please leave my house.

Master Storming Ox: *Your* house?

Shen: Yes, didn't you see the peacock on the front door?

Master Thundering Rhino: What do you want, Shen?

Shen: What is rightfully mine: Gongmen City!

Master Thundering Rhino: Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Council of Masters, and we will protect it. Even from you.

Shen: [laughs] I'm so glad you feel that way! Otherwise I'd have dragged... that all the way here for nothing.

[He motions to his wolf soldiers dragging a heavy crate into the courtyard]

Master Storming Ox: What's in the box, Shen?

Shen: You want to see? It's a gift. It's your parting gift... in that it will part you. Part of you here, part of you there, and part of you way over there, staining the wall!

[as Po, the Furious Five and the Masters fight their way through Shen's wolves]

Shen: Why aren't we firing?

Wolf Boss: They're taking out our gunners, sir! They're getting close!

Shen: Fire, fire at them!

Wolf Boss: But, sir, we'll kill our own!

Shen: [screaming] I said fire at them! FIRE!

Wolf Boss: [drops his torch] ... No.

[Shen kills the Wolf Boss with his daggers, then jumps onto the cannon and lights the fuse himself]

[Master Rhino deflects all of Shen's throwing knives and jabs Shen with his hammer, sending him skidding back and breaking all his daggers]

Shen: Show-off.

Master Thundering Rhino: That is a warning. You are no match for our kung fu.

Shen: I agree... but this is.

[He jumps back onto the crate as it falls open, revealing a cannon aimed at Rhino]

Po: Tell me what happened that night.

Shen: What night?

Po: THAT night!

Shen: Oh, that night?

Po: YES! We're talking about the same night, right?
