No. Send your troops to protect my people. Chi Fu.
Yes, Your Highness?
Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces.
Call up reserves and as many new recruits as possible.
Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him.

Mulan, you should already be in town. We are counting on you. . .
To uphold the family honor.
Don't worry, Father. I won't let you down.
-Wish me luck. -Hurry!
I'm going to pray some more.
Fa Li, is your daughter here yet?
The Matchmaker is not a patient woman.
Of all days to be late. . . I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck.

Hold this. We'll need more luck than I thought.
Wait and see when we're through
Boys will gladly go to war for you

How could any fellow say, "No sale"
You'll bring honor to us all
There. You're ready.
Not yet. An apple for serenity.
A pendant for balance.

You must proudly
Show it
Now add a cricket
Just for Iuck

Help me not to make a fool of me

The Hsiao family.
The Yi family.
I will serve the Emperor in my father's place.
-The Fa family. -No!
I am ready to serve the Emperor.
-Father, you can't go. -Mulan !
Please, sir, my father has already fought bravely. . .
Silence!
You would do well to teach your daughter

So tell me what mortal needs my protection, great ancestor.

That's right. Now, wake up the ancestors.

Let's move it. Rise and shine.
Y'all way past the beauty sleep thing, trust me.

I knew it. I knew it. That Mulan was a troublemaker from the start!
Don't look at me. She gets it from your side of the family.
She's just trying to help her father.
But if she's discovered, Fa Zhou will be forever shamed.
Dishonor will come to the family. Traditional values will disintegrate.
Not to mention, they'll lose the farm.
My children never caused such trouble. They all became acupuncturists.
-We can't all be acupuncturists. -OLDER LADY: No!
Your great-granddaughter had to be a cross-dresser!

Let a guardian bring her back.
Yes, awaken the most cunning.
No. The swiftest.

Don't make me have to singe nobody to prove no point.
You had your chance to protect the Fa family.
Your misguidance led Fa Deng to disaster.
-Yeah, thanks a lot. -And your point is?
The point is we will be sending a real dragon to retrieve Mulan.
What. . . What. . . I'm a real dragon !
You are not worthy of this spot. Now, awaken the Great Stone Dragon.
So you'll get back to me on the job thing?
(DISGUSTED SIGH)
Just one chance, is that too much to ask?
I mean, it's not like it'd kill ya.
Yo, Rocky, wake up! Ya gotta go fetch Mulan !

I'm. . . I'm the Great Stone Dragon. Good morning.
I will go forth and fetch Mulan.

Don't even worry about it. I will not lose face.

I'd have to bring her home with a medal to get back in the temple.

I make Mulan a war hero, and they'll be begging me to come back to work.

It's going to take a miracle to get me into the army.
Did I hear someone ask for a miracle?
-Let me hear you say "Aaah"! -Aaah !
-That's close enough. -A ghost.
Get ready, Mulan. Your serpentine salvation is at hand !
For I have been sent by your ancestors
to guide you through your masquerade.
Come on. If you're gonna stay, you're gonna work.
So heed my word ! 'Cause if the army finds out you're a girl,
the penalty is death !
-Who are you? -Who am I? Who am I?
I am the guardian of lost souls.
I am the powerful, the pleasurable,
the indestructible Mushu.

Hey, dragon, dragon, not lizard.
I don't do that tongue thing.

I'm travel size for your convenience.

For instance, my eyes can see straight through your armor.
Oh !

Make a note of this. Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow. . .
Stop. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We can avoid them easily.

The quickest way to the Emperor is through that pass.
And besides, the little girl will be missing her doll.
We should return it to her.
(STAMMERING) No, this is not a good idea.
What if somebody sees you?
Just because I look like a man doesn't mean I have to smell like one.
So a couple of guys don't rinse out their socks. Picky, picky, picky.

CHI FU: You think your troops are ready to fight?
They would not last a minute against the Huns!
-They completed their training. -Those boys
are no more fit to be soldiers than you are to be Captain.
Once the General reads my report,
your troops will never see battle.
No, you don't! I've worked too hard to get Mulan into this war.
This guy's messin' with my plan.
We're not finished !
Be careful, Captain. The general may be your father,
but I am the Emperor's counsel.
And by the way, I got that job on my own.
You're dismissed.
I'll hold him and you punch.

Or not.
For what it's worth, I think you're a great captain.

Ping?
You are the craziest man I've ever met.
And for that, I owe you my life.
From now on, you have my trust.

My name is Mulan.
I did it to save my father.

This close to impressin' the ancestors,
gettin' the top shelf, an entourage.
Man. All my fine work. Pfft.
Hi.
I should never have left home.
Hey, come on. You went to save your father's life.
Who knew you'd end up shamin' him and disgracing your ancestors
and losin' all your friends?
You know, you just gotta. . . You gotta learn to let these things go.
(CRYING)
Maybe I didn't go for my father.
Maybe what I really wanted was to prove I could do things right,
so when I looked in the mirror,
I'd see someone worthwhile.
But I was wrong.
I see nothing.
Now, that's just 'cause this needs a little spit, that's all.
(SPITS) Let me shine this up for ya.
I can see you. Look at you. You look so pretty.
The truth is, we're both frauds.
Your ancestors never sent me. They don't even like me.
I mean, you risked your life to help people you love.
I risked your life to help myself.
At least you had good intentions.
(SOFT CHIRPING)
What? What do you mean, "You're not lucky"?
-You lied to me? -(CHIRPING)
And what are you, a sheep?
-(SNORTS) -(GRUMBLES)
I'll have to face my father sooner or later.

The Huns are alive! They're in the city!
You don't belong here, Mulan. Go home.
Shang, I saw them in the mountains. You have to believe me.
Why should I?
Why else would I come back?
You said you'd trust Ping. Why is Mulan any different?
Keep your eyes open. I know they're here.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Now, where are you going?
To find someone who will believe me.
My children, heaven smiles down
upon the Middle Kingdom.
China will sleep safely tonight.
Thanks to our brave warriors.

Sir, the Emperor's in danger.

But the Huns are here.
-Please, you have to help. -(HARRUMPHS)
No one will listen.
Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something?

Boo.
Guard the door.
Your walls and armies have fallen, and now it's your turn.

Where is she? Now she's done it.
What a mess! Stand aside!
That creature's not worth protecting.
-She's a hero. -She's a woman.
-She'll never be worth anything. -Listen, you pompous. . .
That is enough.
Your Majesty, I can explain.
I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan.
You stole your father's armor, ran away from home,
impersonated a soldier,
deceived your commanding officer,
dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace
and
you have saved us all.
Ah ! Oh !
(MUSHU SNIFFLES)
My little baby is all grown up and savin' China.
You have a tissue?
Chi Fu?
Your Excellency?
See to it that this woman is made a member of my council.
(STUTTERING) Member? What?
But. . . There are no council positions open,
Your Majesty.
Very well. You can have his job.
What? I. . . (GASPS)
With all due respect, Your Excellency,
I think I've been away from home long enough.
Then take this,
so your family will know what you have done for me.
And this,
so the world will know what you have done for China.
(CHUCKLES)
Is she allowed to do that?

Um. . .
You. . .
You fight good.
Oh. Thank you.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(GASPING) Mulan !
Father, I brought you the sword of Shan-Yu.
And the crest of the Emperor.
They're gifts to honor the Fa family.
The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.
I've missed you so.
I've missed you too, Baba.
-(SIGHS) -Great.
She brings home a sword.
If you ask me, she should've brought home a man.
Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here?
Thank you.
Whoo! Sign me up for the next war.
Honorable Fa Zhou, I. . . Mulan !
Uh. . . You forgot your helmet.
Well, actually, it's your helmet, isn't it?

GRANDMOTHER: Would you like to stay forever?
Dinner would be great.
Come on. Who did a good job?
Come on. Tell me. Who did a good job?

And what I beIieve in

Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must l pretend that l'm
Someone eIse for aII time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am?
lnside, there's a heart
That must be free
To fly
And I burn
With a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
l won't pretend that l'm
Someone eIse for aII time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
