Chi Fu [walking down the stairs in a tattered outfit and slightly burned]: That was a deliberateattempt on my life. Where is she? Now shes done it. What a mess. [Shang and troops pushMulan behind them to protect her] [to Shang] Stand aside, that creatures not worth protecting.
Shang [bows before Fa Zhou and speaks confidently]: Honorable Fa Zhou I--Mulan [Mulan steps up. Shang sees her and speaks insecurely] Uh...Uh...You forgot your helmet. Ah but well, actuallyits your helmet, isnt it?...[handing the helmet toward Fa Zhou] I mean...
Shang [just arriving]: Excuse me, does Fa Mulan live here?

[The rocket rides Shan-Yu into the fireworks tower causing masses of explosions and fireworks tofly everywhere. Mulan jumps near the edge of the roof.

Mushu [Mushu (using the wings from the kite) and Cri-Kee with wings spread like batman]: Youreworst nightmare.
[Shan-Yu lunges with his sword. Mulan dodges to her right and lets the sword go right throughthe fan. She closes the fan back up on the sword and twists the fan with both hands so thatShan-Yu loses his grip.

Khan bows with Mushu and Cri-Kee on his back]
[Mulan lines up where she is standing with the fireworks tower across the way. Shan-Yu breaksthrough the roof behind Mulan surprising her. Mulan backs away and searches for something on herperson to help her against Shan-Yu. She finds a her fan, takes it out, and opens it]

Chi Fu: Tis a woman. She will never be worth anything.

Barry Cook: Who are you?
Emperor [to Shang]: The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

[Song: True to Your Heart -- No characters sing in the song]
