Tai Lung Quotes in Kung Fu Panda (2008)

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

[He throws a weak punch, Po catches his hand by the finger]

Po: I'm not a big fat panda. I'm THE big fat panda.

[he raises his pinkie]

Tai Lung: [gasps] The Wuxi finger hold!

Po: Oh, you know this hold.

Tai Lung: You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that!

Po: Nope. I figured it out. Skidoosh.

[he flexes his pinkie and a golden shockwave ripples out over the valley]

Tai Lung: The Wuxi finger hold!

Po: Oh, you know this hold?

Tai Lung: You're bluffing. You're bluffing! Shifu didn't teach you that.

Po: Nope. I figured it out. Skadoosh!

Tai Lung: Who are you?

Po: Buddy, I... am the Dragon Warrior!

[bows over, panting from the stairs]

Tai Lung: [incredulous] You?

[laughs]

Tai Lung: He's a panda! You're a panda! What are you gonna do, big guy? Sit on me?

Po: Don't tempt me.

Tai Lung: Finally... oh, yes... at last, the power of the Dragon Scroll is *mine*...

[He opens the scroll - and stares at it]

Tai Lung: It's nothing!

Po: It's okay. I didn't get it the first time either.

Tai Lung: What?

Po: There *is* no secret ingredient. It's just you.

Tai Lung: [attacking Shifu] Everything I did, I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are Shifu! Tell me! TELL ME!

[he knocks Shifu to the ground]

Shifu: [quiet and sad] I have always been proud of you. From the first moment I've been... proud of you. And it was my pride that blinded me. I loved you too much to see what you were becoming. What I... was turning you into. I'm s... I'm sorry.

[long pause, then Tai Lung growls and seizes Shifu by the throat]

Tai Lung: I don't want your apology! I want my scroll!

Tai Lung: I have come home, master.

Shifu: This is no longer your home, and I am no longer your master!

Tai Lung: Oh, yes. You have a new favorite. So where is this Po?

[chuckles]

Tai Lung: Did I scare him off?

Shifu: This battle is between you and me.

Tai Lung: So, that is how it's going to be.

Shifu: That is how it MUST be.

[Tai Lung attacks]

Tai Lung: [growls] I rotted in jail for 20 years because of YOUR weakness!

Shifu: Obeying your master is not weakness!

Tai Lung: You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! You always knew! But when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do? NOTHING!

Shifu: You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault!

Tai Lung: Not your fault? Who filled my head with dreams? Who drove me to train until my bones cracked? Who denied me my destiny?

Shifu: It was never my decision to make!

[gazes at Oogway's shrine and picks up his staff]

Tai Lung: It is *now*. Give me the Scroll!

Shifu: I would rather die!

Tai Lung: Where's the Dragon Warrior?

Tigress: How do you know you're not looking at her?

Tai Lung: [laughs] You think I'm a fool? I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you! I heard how he fell from the sky on a ball of fire. That he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen!

Monkey: Po?

Tai Lung: So that is his name. Po. At last, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!

Tai Lung: Shifu taught you well.

[disables Monkey with a nerve strike]

Tai Lung: But he didn't teach you everything.

Tai Lung: [to Zeng] I'm glad Shifu sent you. I was beginning to think I'd been forgotten...

[grabs Zeng's throat]

Tai Lung: Go and tell Shifu that the REAL Dragon Warrior is coming home!

[throws him into the sky]

Tai Lung: [as Po scrambles up a wall after the Dragon Scroll] The Scroll has given him power! NOOO!
