• Shang Tsung : The prophecy is upon us which means we could lose the tenth tournament.

  Sub-Zero : There is no prophecy. Hanzo is a ghost. I killed him centuries ago.

  Shang Tsung : Winning Mortal Kombat cannot be left to chance. There will be no tournament because there will be no opposition left to fight. We will already be victorious. Go now and kill Earthrealm's champions... Bi-Han.

  Sub-Zero : I am no longer Bi-Han. I am Sub-Zero.

• Shang Tsung : FINISH THEM!

• Shang Tsung : [Nitara appears before Mileena, Reiko, and Kabal]  The great hunter, Nitara. She is beautiful, isn't she?

  Kabal : Yeah, that screech is a real turn-on.

• Mileena : Sub-Zero tracked and killed another one of Earth's champions, but another has escaped.

  Shang Tsung : Have our assassins double their efforts.

  Mileena : What of Lord Raiden? If he discovers we're breaking rules set in stone by the Elder Gods...

  Shang Tsung : Leave the Elder Gods to me. We didn't win nine straight tournaments by following the rules. Mileena, let's finish this. Send in the reptilian, Syzoth.

• Shang Tsung : Take whatever trophies you desire, but their souls are mine.

• Shang Tsung : My loyal warriors! Kabal... General Reiko... I have seen the so-called champions of Earthrealm and they're no match for all of you. We are on the precipice of victory and taking Earthrealm forever, but we must strike now. Raiden has prevented entry into his temple. I must find a way to bring his shield down in order to obliterate our opposition.

  Kabal : I think I can help. Did you see a guy down there? Complete fuckin' asshole; answers to Kano.

  Shang Tsung : Kano?

  Kabal : Yeah, he's the reason I live in an iron lung. He's a low-life piece of shit scumbag... you're gonna love him.

• Shang Tsung : Your soul is mine!

• Shang Tsung : No matter how many of my people you put in the ground, there will always be another to take their place. Today you have killed my warriors and you think you have won. But death is only another portal.

• Shang Tsung : I have come to claim your world. You're too late, Raiden.

  Raiden : It is forbidden to claim victory until the tournament begins.

  Shang Tsung : You are correct, Thunder God, but conflict outside of Mortal Kombat is not forbidden. Besides, the Elder Gods are too lazy to stop me. I have come for your souls.

  Raiden : You will leave this place at once, sorcerer!

  Shang Tsung : [looking at Cole, Sonya, Kano, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao]  These are your champions?

  [to Mileena and Sub-Zero] 

  Shang Tsung : Kill them.

  [Raiden creates a shield to prevent Shang Tsung from entering] 

  Shang Tsung : You think these tricks will protect you forever? Only a matter of time.

• Shang Tsung : [Sending Nitara after Kung Lao]  Now destroy him, my beauty!

• Sub-Zero : [Deleted scene] 

  [Sub-Zero confronts Shang Tsung after their attack on the temple] 

  Sub-Zero : You knew the heir of Hasashi lived. You did not tell me.

  Shang Tsung : I did not know. We mustn't lose sight. Earthrealm is still within my grasp.

  [puts his hand on Sub-Zero's shoulder] 

  Shang Tsung : This changes nothing.

  Sub-Zero : It changes everything!

  [grabs Shang Tsung's wrist and moves it away as ice forms around it] 

• Shang Tsung : Next time I see you, I will not bring fighters. I will bring armies.

• Mileena : [Deleted scene]  Reptile is dead. And now, another of Earthrealm's champions is on their way to the Temple. We must move now. Your plan is not working.

  Shang Tsung : Are you questioning my judgement?

  [Walks towards Mileena as she backs away] 

  Shang Tsung : I created you...

  [grabs her by the throat and holds her over the Sea of Spikes] 

  Shang Tsung : I nourished you with nectar from source. I gave you life. If you doubt my ways, what need do I have for you?

  [Throws her back down to the ground] 

  Shang Tsung : My plan will not fail. Even if I must take matters into my own hands.

  [pause] 

  Shang Tsung : I forgive you.
