A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.
My, my. What beautiful blossoms we have this year. But, look, this one’s late. But I’ll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.
Would you like to stay forever?[Fa Mulan: Would you like to stay for dinner?]
I know my place! It is time you learned yours.[to Mulan]
How lucky can they be? They’re dead.[Fa Li: I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck.]
No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
I’ve heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father’s armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace, and you have saved us all.
We started this thing together, and that’s how we’ll finish it.[to Mulan]
Watch now on:
The truth is, we’re both frauds. Your ancestors never sent me. They don’t even like me. I mean, you risked your life to help people you love. I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions.[to Mulan]
The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.[Fa Mulan: Father, I brought you the sword of Shan-Yu. And the crest of the Emperor. They’re gifts to honor the Fa family.]
The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
My little baby, off to destroy people.[about Mulan]
