I better go.

I've got the first watch,
General.

But...

Are you bugging?
Look at her go.

She can't wait
to get away from him.

That's no smile.

That's a mask of pain.

Yeah, well,
that was just phase one

of my new 18-phase master plan.

Now, just watch phase two
when I get up close...

...and personal.

Excuse me.
Your Highness?

I found your fan.

It just needed
a little drying out.

Oh, thank you, Ling.

Normally, I would say,
"I'm your biggest fan."

But...

I'll just go away now again.

Sorry.

I'll replace that.

Of course she doesn't like you.
You're such a ding-a-ling.

He likes you.

It would seem so.

And you like him.

Well, I appreciate
that he's a good soldier.

How can you do that?

How can you look
right at someone,

realize you share
a special connection,

-and then just --
-I know where my duty lies.

Do you?

"And so, my dear Father,
I cannot complete this mission.

I have come to realize
that my duty is to my heart."

What are you doing?

She's running away!

Mei, what are you thinking?

I can't complete this mission.

I know that now.

Why, because Yao has given you
his heart?

No!
It's not about his heart.

It's about mine.

Mei, we've discussed this.

A princess must make every
sacrifice for her country.

It's our duty.

The life of a princess

From her birth is well-defined

She must humbly serve
her country

Play the part
she's been assigned

She guards the hopes
of her people

Weak and mighty,
rich and poor

Who could ever ask for more?

Who could ever ask for...

Who could ever ask for...

More?

I want to be
like other girls

Climb up a tree
like other girls can

Just to be free
like other girls

Get to be

Mei!
Su!

To slouch when I sit

To eat a whole cake

Feel the sun on my feet

-Get dirty
-Act silly

Be anything I want to be

Dance around

In my underwear

To run really fast

To get rid of this fan

To eat a whole cake

-Get crazy
-With frosting

-No escorts, no nursemaids
-No manners

No worries,
no hands folded perfect

Like holding a lily

No pinchy shoes?

I want to be
like other girls

Scrape up my knee
like other girls can

Just to be free
like other girls

Get to be

To speak for myself

To sing way off-key

Marry someone I've met
who loves me for me

No escorts, no "manners"

No nursemaids, no worries

No hands folded perfect

Like holding a lily

No pinchy shoes

I want to be
like other girls

Climb up a tree
like other girls can

Just to be free
like other girls

Get to be

She defied you.

She insulted you.

Man, she laughed at your map.

My map.

And if she's laughing
to your face,

imagine what she's saying
behind your back!

My back.

Oh, oh.

She's a loose cannon.

She's out of control!

She's out of control.

Who's in charge here?

You or Mulan?

Mulan.
Mulan!

Mulan!

General Shang?

That's not it.
General Shang?

Hello?
It's me, Mulan.

General Shang.

Shang? Shang?

Shang?
Oh, I got it.

General Shang?

General Hardhead, that's
what they should call him.

Everything's got to have
a strategy.

Mulan?

The man won't brush his teeth
without a backup plan.

-What?
-I blame myself.

I fell for those
broad shoulders.

I didn't realize there wasn't
much sitting on top of them.

Oh, except
for that garlic breath.

Ooh-wee,
that boy can peel paint!

Oops.

That's enough!
Where is she?

I am good!

Mulan!

Why, hello, General.
Out on night maneuvers?

General Hardhead?
Brushing my teeth?

Something wrong?

I heard you, Mulan.
Every word.

Every word of what?

Don't play coy!
I saw you outside my tent.

What?
I haven't left my post.

And I suppose you weren't
gossiping about me

with the princesses.

Shang, did that dip in the river
get you waterlogged?

And why are you talking
with your hand over your mouth?

I wouldn't want to peel
your paint!

Changing of the guard.

And next time,
don't leave your post!

What's with him?

What's with her?

Who am I talking to?

How could he not believe me?

I don't know, girlfriend,
but I do know this.

Without trust,
there can be no relationship.

And that man don't trust you.

Maybe he was just confused.

Oh, please. You fussed
about the arranged marriage.

You fought about which way
to Qui Gong.

Now y'all feuding over nothing.

You're right.

Mushu, I don't know what to do.

Oh, I do.
It's simple.

Drop that boy
like a hot pot sticker.

Kick him to the curb!

Burn his letters,
and dance around, yelling,

"Happy days are here again!"

You know, you have a point.

If this is the real Li Shang,
I don't like what I'm seeing.

I hope the tea is still warm.

After you.

No, after you.

No, after you.

After you.

I said after you!

You --
I'm gonna --

Yao!

Is everything all right?

No.

I mean, yes.

You see, Chien-Po here
has always had a dream.

A dream?

A dream?

A dream.

But I don't --

Oh, that dream.

A dream of seeing a small
village in the middle of nowhere

by the moonlight.

How can we help?

Well, if Your Highnesses
would consent

to come with us to the village,

we could still guard you,

and Chien-Po
could have his dream.

My one chance
to be like other guys.

-Can we?
-Can we, please?

-Oh, please.
-Ting Ting, please!

Sounds like fun.

Oh, we're sorry.

We're off!

I never noticed
we were so different.

It's like I don't even know him.

Well, what do you know
about that?

I mean, I know he's
"by the book,"

but doesn't the man
ever bend a rule?

And speaking of bending rules...

You know, relationships are easy

when everything
runs nice and smooth.

Mulan...

Nice and smooth
just ran out of camp.

-What?
-Say, did you know

almonds, rice, and milk are
part of a complete breakfast?

I'm just trying to tell you
the princesses went A.W.O.L.

-Where are the guards?
-Showing them the way.

They're together?

Together together?

Don't you understand Chinese?

Hey, what about old Shang-Hi?

I think I better handle
this one on my own.

Shang's on a short fuse
as it is.

Just make sure
nothing wakes him up.

You can count on me.

Where are the guards?

The princesses!

"My duty is to my heart"?

Mulan!

Get your ticket, cricket.
The show's about to begin.

Look at all the food!

We just got in
some excellent ginger.

Ginger.

That goes very well
with dumplings.

Did you say "dumplings"?

How about some ginseng?

That makes a wonderful
accompaniment to soybeans.

One order of soybeans.

He's done!

Get him off!

Oh, my!

Who will be next to challenge
the undefeated Shi Rongkai?

-Step aside.
-Yao!

Oh, no!

So, where'd he go?

Yao!
You're my hero!

Pick a prize, any prize.

Which one do you want, sir?

Give me that one.

Oh, yeah!
Okay, okay.

Okay, how about this one?

What does Attila say
when he walks through the door?

"Hun, I'm home!"

I give up.

I guess I'm not as funny
as I think.

What a cute laugh.

Oh, no.
I hate my laugh.

What?

It's adorable!

I thought you didn't have
a sense of humor.

No sense of humor?

It's so beautiful.

Yeah.

It's the same moon
we see from the palace.

No, this one
is entirely different.

You're right.

I've never seen
anything like it.

Mulan!

I'm listening.

We -- that is --

All of us --

Oh, boy.

Fa Mulan, it's love.

Yao and myself,
Chien-Po and Su...

And myself and Lingy Bear --

I mean, Ling.

Group hug!

Oh, I'm so happy
for all of you.

General Shang?

General Shang?

Oh, boy.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

Don't worry.
I'll handle this.

I'm so sorry to break up
your little party.

Ooh, this is gonna be good.

Shang, before you jump
to conclusions,

Iet me explain the situation.

Fine! Why don't
we start with this?

That's mine.

All yours, or did you have help?

"And so, my dear Father,

I cannot complete this mission.

I have come to realize
that my duty is to my heart."

-Now, who does that sound like?
-Mei never meant to send that.

Your Highnesses, you swore a vow
to be married in Qui Gong.

If your father saw you now,
breaking that vow,

what would he say?

You three are to escort
Their Highnesses

back to their tents immediately.

You are to guard them.
Not enter their tents.

You are not to speak to them.

Not a word ever.

Am I understood?

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Shang, the problem
isn't as bad as it seems.

The problem, Mulan, is you!

What?

You place your own feelings
above everything.

Duty, obligation, tradition.
It all means nothing to you.

It means everything to me!

My heart tells me my duty,
and I follow it.

You're a brilliant warrior,
Shang.

You're brave.
You're loyal.

But you don't trust your heart.

Sometimes I wonder
if you even have one.

This assignment
has made it clear

we are very different people.

Maybe too different.

Fine!

We have a mission to complete.

Fine.

Isn't it a great day?

I see Pretty Boy
isn't talking to you,

and you're not talking
to Pretty Boy.

Well, you know you
can always talk to me.

Just wait till she realizes
what I've done for her.

Will that frown
turn upside down!

Snapdragon?

Just for that,
I'm not talking to you!

We're so sorry for what
we've done, Fa Mulan.

You inspired us
to follow our hearts,

and we repay you
by ruining your relationship.

No, you just opened my eyes
to how broken it was.

I'm indebted to you, Mei.

Keep a sharp eye.
This is bandit country.

I sure wish we could talk
to the princesses, Yao.

What?
You know we can't.

Oh.

Oh, yes, Ling.

I also wish
we could talk to them,

but as you know,
orders is orders.

Yes, but if I could
talk to them,

do you know what I would say?

No, Ling, what would you say
if only you could?

I'd tell Ting Ting
that she's the prettiest...

funniest...

most extraordinary girl
I've ever met.

I would tell Princess Su

that she is like fresh ginger
on the rice bowl of my life.

And I would tell Mei
that she's one right babe.

Mulan, what do you say
to a little pick-me-up?

My father said, "Differences
can make you stronger."

He didn't realize that Shang
and I are just too different.

Well, you know
you always got me.

The old team, right?

You're always looking out
for me, Mushu.

Well, just doing the best I can.

Really, I just don't know
what I'd do without you.

You're the best friend
I've ever had.

Oh, I can't stand it no more!

The only thing wrong
with you and Shang is me!

I'm the one
that got between you.

What are you talking about?

It's not like you made
the carriage go into the river.

Now, that was an accident.

Following several attempts
at "on purpose."

And it wasn't you
outside Shang's tent.

You know how I gab.

And you woke him up
after I left?

It wasn't easy, neither.
That man can sleep!

Mushu, what did you do?

Well, I was banging
pots and pans.

No!
What did you do?

You was getting married!

Everything was gonna change!

I was gonna lose you!

And my pedestal!

You mean you got
between Shang and me

so you could keep your job?

I'm sorry.

What you did was unforgivable.

But you and Shang
are so different.

Wait a second.

Not as different as I thought.

All those problems,
they weren't us.

They were you!

Oh, I've got to talk to Shang,
tell him I love him.

Mulan, I'll make it up to you.
I promise!

Forget it!
You've helped enough.

Shang!
Shang!

It's an ambush!

Close ranks!
Save the princesses!

Run!
Run!

You two, get the gold!

You two, come with me.

I got 'em!

Shang, I've got your back.

Take my hand!

The princesses!

How dare you touch me!

It won't budge!

-Then take the whole package!
-No!

Get your hands off her!

Help!

No!

Yao!

Hold them off!

Let's go!

Help me!

Run!

-Mei!
-Yao!

Come on!

Let's get out of here!

Shang, hang on.

It won't hold us both.

It will.
It will, Shang.

Mulan...

I'm sorry.

Please!

Shang!

Shang!

Shang!

Fa Mulan, we're ready to go
through with the wedding.

No.

Your orders are
to take care of each other.

But...

Losing Shang
will not be meaningless.

No matter what it takes,

I'm finishing this mission.

Good horse.

What do you mean, they are gone?

There was an accident,
Lord Chin.

The royal carriage fell into
the river and was destroyed.

Oh, a grave loss.

But it does not alter
my agreement with the emperor!

And unless it is honored,

I will sanction no alliance
with the Middle Kingdom!

A marriage was promised!

And a marriage there will be.

I would be honored
to wed a prince of Qui Gong.

You?

My Lord, Fa Mulan,
the hero of China.

Oh, a jewel in your crown.

Far more dear
than three mere princesses.

This is not what was agreed!

However,
the Golden Dragon of Unity

smiles upon you today.

And in view of the tragedy,

I will accept your offer.

You will make a fine bride
for my eldest son,

Prince Jeeki.

This is her?

She's so old!

Mulan said she was
going to finish the mission

no matter what.

But how can she without us?

By taking your place.

Shang's alive!

Mulan was right.

No one should marry someone
they don't love.

I'm going to Qui Gong.

-We're going with you.
-No, you're not.

Stay here.

Would you say that was an order?

I would say it was
a friendly suggestion.

Let's go!

Looks like we won't be
a team after all, Mushu.

Oh, Mulan.

I would give up a thousand
pedestals if I could stop this.

I doubt even the Golden Dragon
of Unity could stop this now.

Goodbye, Mushu.

My people...

the Golden Dragon of Unity,

who guides us in all we do,

today sanctifies a union

that will be a blessing
for all of Qui Gong.

Of course I want to stop it.

But what can one
itty-bitty dragon do?

With the tying of this sash,

we shall unite
not only two lives

but two kingdoms.

It's General Li Shang!

He's alive!

Shang to the rescue!

Lucky for Lord Chin, 'cause
I was about to whip his butt.

Oh, you're alive!

I couldn't let you
get married without me.

General!
This is outrageous!

You will leave at once!

I'm not going anywhere.

What are you doing?

I don't know.
I'm winging it.

How dare you trample
upon this sacred ceremony?

Oh, my gosh! He's gonna lower
the hammer on Shang!

Where is the dang Dragon
of Unity when you need him?

Oh, don't bother me now,
Cri-Kee.

I have an idea!

My Lord, I love Mulan, and l
don't care what the rules say.

If she'll have me, I intend
to marry her right here...

right now.

Insolent dog!

Seize him!

-Shang!
-Mulan!

Yo! What's with all this drama?

The Golden Dragon of Unity.
He lives!

Mushu?

Oh, you dang right I live!

So you best drop your
dumpling-eating behind on down

and tell me why we ain't busting
out the vows, huh?

But, Your Greatness,

General Li Shang
is not a son of Qui Gong.

Silence!

I am the Golden Dragon of Unity,

and I decide whom to unify.

My all-seeing eye

has peered into the very heart
of China,

and I've never seen two people
more right for one another

than this lovely couple here.

Mulan and Shang.

Give it up for them, would you?

Now I command you
to proceed at once!

Yes, Your Greatness.
As you command.

Now, let's get down to business.

Mulan, do you love Shang?
Of course.

Shang, do you love Mulan?
Yes, very much.

By the power vested in me,
by me,

I hereby pronounce you
husband and wife.

You got anything to say,
Lord Double Chin?

Yes.
I mean, no.

I mean, whatever you say.

And furthermore,
I hereby decree

that the princesses
of the Middle Kingdom,

wherever they may be,

are released from their vow

and may marry whom-so-ever
they please...

and who pleases them.

Honey-pie!

I can't believe
I'm back on wake-up duty.

Well, Mulan is happy.

And if she's happy, I'm happy.

Well, thank you, Cri-Kee.

I did do good, didn't l?

Better get your rest, Mushu.

I have a yoga session at dawn,

and I don't want to be late
for my greetings to the sun.

And don't forget.

I like to be awakened
from my beauty sleep

with a nice, long foot massage.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Shang, what are you doing?

Watch and see.

What is he doing?

It can't be!

He's combining
the family temples!

Excuse me.

What does that mean,
exactly, you know, for me?

It means...

Yeah, what?
It means what?

Unfortunately, you get to keep
your pedestal.

Oh, yeah!
I'm back, baby!

I am back!

Yes!

Oops.

So this is the famous Mushu.

Somehow I pictured you...

bigger.

Say what?

You told him about me?
About us?

I have no secrets
from my husband, Mushu.

I told him everything.

Everything?

Everything?

That's right,
Great Golden Dragon of Unity.

I still don't get it.

What does combining
our temples do?

It gives me back my pedestal.

Oh. Wait, but can you do this?

Aren't there rules?

Of course.

Right next to the rules
about dressing up like a man

and joining the army.

Well, what do you know?

This thing just might
work out after all.

Hey, yo, where's my masseuse?

Saving China gives me knots
like you wouldn't believe!

What about my pedicure?

Let's get jamming
on the toe jam.

And somebody heat up some oil.

I don't know what
we gonna do with it yet,

but it's gonna be good.

Does a hero dragon
deserve anything less?

Draw my bath!

Warm my towels!

Let the pampering begin!
