Chi Fu : Insubordinate ruffians! You men owe me a new pair of slippers! And I do not squeal like a girl.
[a panda eats his slipper; he squeals like a girl]
Mushu : [disguised as a messenger riding the panda] Urgent news from the General.
[beat]
Mushu : What's the matter? Never seen a black-and-white before?
Chi Fu : Who are you?
Mushu : Excuse me? I think the question is, who are *you!* We're in a war, man! There's no time for stupid questions! I should have your hat for this, snatch it *right* off your head. But I'm feeling gracious today, so carry on before I report you.

Mulan : [looking toward Ling] His name is Ling.
Shang : I didn't ask for *his* name. I asked for *yours!*

Mulan : Ah Chu.
Shang : Ah Chu?
Mushu : Gesundheit.
Mushu : [chuckles] I kill myself.
Mulan : Mushu...

General Li : The Huns have struck here, here, and here. I will take the main troops up to the Tung Chow Pass and stop Shan Yu before he destroys this village.
Chi Fu : Excellent strategy, sir! I do love surprises.
General Li : [to Li Shang] You will stay and train the new recruits. When Chi Fu believes you're ready, you will join us... Captain.
Shang : Captain?
Chi Fu : Oh! This is an enormous responsibility, General! Perhaps a soldier with more experience?
General Li : Number one in his class, extensive knowledge of training techniques... an impressive military linuage... I believe Lee Shang will do an excellent job.
Shang : Oh I will! I won't let you down! This is... I mean... Yes sir.
General Li : Very good, then. We'll toast China's victory at the Imperial City. I'll expect a full report in three weeks.
Chi Fu : And believe me, I won't leave anything out.
Shang : Captain Lee Shang. Leader of China's finest troops. No, the greatest troops of all time.
[They step outside]
Chi Fu : Most impressive.
General Li : Good luck, Captain! Yah!
[He rides off, followed by two lines of soldiers on horses]
Shang : Good luck... Father.
