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 : [attacking Shifu] What I ever 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 : [as Po scrambles up a wall after the Dragon Scroll] The Scroll has given him power! NOOO!
