Po

 * Tigress is taking on the free-range chicken gang. Monkey's hot on the trail of the missing macaque. Crane was crowned King of the Crocodilians. Long story. Viper's wrapping up peace talks between the cobras and the mongooses. Or is it mongeese? And Mantis? Well, he's just trying to keep his blushing bride from biting his head off. Just 'cause they're not here in person doesn't mean they're not here as life-sized cut-outs.
 * [in a meditating stance] Inner peace... Inner peace... [struggles] Dinner, please... Dinner with peas in a sesame soy glaze... [breaking out of the stance, frustrated] This is not working at all.
 * Next time, keep your surf off their turf!
 * Being the Dragon Warrior, it's who I am. What do I know about being a spiritual leader?
 * General Kai? Lord Shen? Those are all my old nemesis-es. Nemes-ee. Nemes-i?
 * Stand back. I'm gonna kick my butt!
 * [he notices his pants are taken by two monkeys] Not cool! You guys, give them back. Those are customs!

Zhen

 * The most powerful shapeshifting sorceress, the Chameleon.
 * The best crooks and criminals live here.
 * I'm just gonna say it: nothing about you says "dragon" or "warrior".
 * You got me, oh great and powerful Dumpling Warrior.
 * The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and you're here giving me life advice from a tortoise?!
 * First rule of the streets: Never trust anyone. Second rule: Someone always gets hurt. Third rule: No one's interested in your feelings.
 * Roll... scroll... serve... and SKABLAM!

The Chameleon

 * Don't worry, I forgive you. For the impudence, and the backstabbing, and the blatant disrespect you've shown me. I forgive... but I never forget. You might say I have the memory... [Badger Crime Boss: Oh, don't say it!] of an elephant! [shapeshifts into Master Elephant] You think I've pushed you too far? Then you, my friend, can't begin to fathom... just how far I can push! [pushes the Bear Crime Boss down the stairs, then returns to her true form] I expect your tribute by dawn!
 * Tai Lung. Big fan.
 * You see, Po, kung fu may be performed by the body, but its secrets are housed in the spirit. And now that I have access to the Spirit Realm... [Po: You're gonna steal Tai Lung's kung fu?] His and those of every master villain that came before me. And once I do, no one will dare underestimate me again.
 * [after stealing Tai Lung's kung fu and throws him a cage before locking him up] Yes! I've got it! The Tai Lung Nerve Strike! The power, the possession! [Tai Lung: What have you done to me?] All of your kung fu is now mine! And the best part is: I'm just getting warmed up.
 * We've both risen to the highest of hights. It's a shame only one of us can come out on top. My combined powers of sorcery and kung fu make me unstoppable.
 * [to Po; as Tai Lung] I'm stronger than any opponent you've ever faced, because I AM every opponent you've ever faced!
 * Two against one? Well now, that doesn't seem fair. I'll have to even the odds. Master Cobra! Master Osprey! Master Scorpion! Master Wolf! General Kai! Lord Shen! [shapeshifts into a monstrous chimera of every kung fu master]
 * [as Po] I thought we were friends.
 * [fighting Zhen] You ungrateful little urchin! After all I've done for you, you betray me for the PANDA?!

Shifu

 * You will advance to Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace.
 * You were chosen to become something more than you already are.

Tai Lung

 * Panda, Oogway made the mistake of choosing you as the Dragon Warrior. But, then I realized what a bigger mistake it was, until now.
 * [watching the Chameleon using his form and voice] Is that how I sound? I don't sound like that, do I?
 * [finally respecting Po after defeating The Chameleon and restoring his and every master's kung fu] Maybe Oogway was right about you. You aren't completely useless after all.
 * See you on the other side, Dragon Warrior.

Others

 * Mr. Ping: [as Zhen about to silence her allies] QUACK!
 * Zhen: Thank you.

Dialogue

 * Zhen: Just tell me one thing. How did someone like you become the Dragon Warrior?
 * Po: That's a mystery for you to solve during your two-year stay at the Valley of Peace prison.
 * Zhen: "Valley of Peace" prison? [blows raspberry] Sounds like a day care.
 * Po: It is a day care on the weekends. But it's also a prison.


 * Zhen: The law has better things to do than look for me-- [walks backwards into two buffalo police officers]
 * Police Buffalo 1: Hey, fox!
 * Police Buffalo 2: We've been looking for you! [grabs her]
 * Zhen: Must be a slow work week.


 * Po: So tonight, we take down the Chameleon.
 * Zhen: After you get your pants back.
 * [Po looks down to see himself naked, grabs a tea kettle to cover himself.]
 * Po: [sees two monkeys wearing his pants] Not cool! You guys, come on! Give them back! Those are custom!


 * Mr. Ping: [enters the tavern] Salutations! I'm so sorry to interrupt. I know you're having a good time, but I was wondering if a panda happened to be passing by these parts?
 * Granny Boar: There was a panda here. You know him?
 * Mr. Ping: Know him? Why, I'm his dad.
 * [The patrons grab Mr. Ping, Li Shan looked at it.]
 * Li: No, no, no, no, no, no. Hmm?
 * Granny Boar: You need to pay for what your son did to my tavern.
 * Mr. Ping: [looks at the wood wall busted by Po] My boy wouldn't have done this for no reason. Is it possible your broth was bland?
 * Granny Boar: Try it! [uses the scoop spoon to force Mr. Ping into the hot broth]
 * Mr. Ping: No, no! The broth smells excellent. You should not add a single thing, especially not me!
 * Li: [off-screen; enters the tavern] Hands off the goose.
 * [Granny Boar and the patrons look at angry Li Shan at the entrance and gasps.]
 * Boar: The panda's back.
 * Patrons: He's back?
 * Li: No. But you’re about to wish he was, ’cause if you think he made a mess of this place, you have no idea what I’m capable of. Everything he learned, he learned from me. Except one thing: mercy. I don’t know where he got that, because I don’t believe in it. Now, this can go one of two ways. The easy way, in which you tell me where he is, or the hard way, in which you tell me where he is, but it’s hard to understand what you’re saying because you have no teeth. [chugs the tea, crushes the wooden mug which leaves couple splinters on his paw] Mah-jongg. I eat mah-jongg tiles for breakfast! [eats the mah-jongg tiles, spits out the tooth chunks and groans]
 * [The tavern patrons growl and ready for attack on Li, but he grabs the wooden chopsticks and gets on the table to act his moves and breaks them. Suddenly, the entire tavern tilts to the left, which Wolf drops Mr. Ping. Then the tavern stands, but they hears any sudden tumbling sound. Li walks to the patrons, with a tavern tilting around.]
 * Granny Boar: Stay there!
 * Li: Where's our son?
 * Granny Boar: He took a boat to Juniper City.
 * Mr. Ping: Which way?
 * [The tavern patrons points to the left, which Po went.]
 * Li: You know, a wise goose once-.
 * Mr. Ping: Time to go.
 * Li: Yeah, right.
 * [Li and Mr. Ping leaves the tavern, but leans on it. The tavern suddenly falls down and splashes in the lake. Li, Mr. Ping and bunnies look back to see the patron owners floating with the fallen tavern, the bunnies cheer while Mr. Ping and Li leaves.]


 * Tai Lung: Panda. Oogway made a mistake choosing you as the Dragon Warrior. I just didn't realize how big a mistake it was until now.
 * Po: Whoa. Tai Lung? I'm gonna get that staff back, restore your kung fu, and return you all back to the Spirit Realm. You'll see.
 * Tai Lung: [coldly] All I see… is a broken promise.


 * Po: I believe you have something that belongs to me.
 * The Chameleon: Can't you even die right?
 * Po: Can't you even kill wrong? No. [chuckles] Wordplay didn't come together. Now, about that staff…
 * The Chameleon: [immediately flings the Staff of Wisdom like a flying disc back to Po, who looks confused as if to say, "Well, that was quick."] Take it. I already have everything I need from it anyway. I think this was destiny. A final face-off between formidable adversaries, alike in so many ways.
 * Po: If only I had a dumpling for every time a villain told me how much we had in common...
 * The Chameleon: It's true. We've both risen to the highest of heights. It's a shame only one of us can come out on top.
 * Po: It is a shame - for you!
 * The Chameleon: My combined powers of sorcery and kung fu make me unstoppable. And once I dispense with you, I'll expand my rule from Juniper City to--
 * Po: "... every other city and town and village, from here to the Valley of Peace and beyond." Yeah, I know!
 * The Chameleon: What? How did you know?
 * Po: I saw it in a vision. Cause I'm the Dragon Warrior.
 * [The Chameleon raises an eyebrow]
 * Po: For now, at least. But... I've realized that it's probably time I made a change. And so should you.
 * The Chameleon: I'm the Chameleon, I do nothing but change!
 * Po: Only on the outside. Real change happens from within. And if we're really as alike as you say, then maybe we can both let go of who we were and become something better than we already are? What do you say?
 * The Chameleon: I say... [suddenly shapeshifts into Lord Shen and kicks Po across the room]
 * Tai Lung: [watching from his cage] Well, I saw that coming.


 * Shifu: [spits his tea out in shock] HER?! Out of all the candidates you'd choose to train as your worthy successor, you chose the FOX?!
 * Po: You know when you know, you know?
 * Shifu: [frustrated] Fine, choose who you want! A thief, a stick, a carrot! I don't even know why I bother! I'm going to go meditate... a LOT!
