" [chuckles]" "Okay, now let's go find the princess." " [Jack] Can you explain something to me?" " [Wizard] If I can." " Well, let's start with the chest." " The Warrior's Gate." "That's the real name." " How does it work?" " That's complicated." "Ah, it has to do with time, space, magic and things beyond explaining." "The main thing is that it works." " Then how do I get back?" " Another chest." "There's another chest?" " Great, where is it?" " [chuckles] Well, that is complicated." "I have to collect four different woods from four different trees that grow in four different parts of the country." "North... where zebrawood is found." "South, where the spotted bamboo grows." "East, where the black mahogany lives." "And west, where the rarest tree in all the land is found." "That's the only way to build a new box." "But first, let's find the princess." " You know where she is?" " Oh, another complicated question." "How about an easy one, huh?" " Zhao." "Tell me about Zhao." " That's easy." "[baby crying]" "Warrior Zhao was one of the seven companions raised from birth by the sacred monks for one thing and one thing only:" "To protect the Emperor." "The monks trained the seven companions day and night, year in and year out, until they were the most invincible force." "[grunts]" "It was their sole purpose in life to protect the Emperor while he brought peace to the land." "There was not a man alive who could defeat them... except one." "Arun The Cruel, King of Barbarians." "As fate would have it," "Zhao was on a mission and late for dinner." "The food had been poisoned." "Fearing the worst, he rushed to protect the Emperor." "But he arrived too late." "[woman sobbing]" "And then, chaos descended from the North." "And the peace the Emperor had worked so hard to build began to fall apart." "With no leader, the army was lost, the people were lost." "Zhao fought relentlessly, but as great a warrior as he was, he needed the help of the greatest warrior that could be found." "And so, by using the Seeing Stone," " I found you." " Yes!" "And he passed through the Warrior's Gate to get help protecting the greatest treasure we possess." " Sulin." " Sulin." "The only one who can rally the people to defeat the Barbarians and save our kingdom." "But I'm not going to be able to help him." " He thinks I'm worthless." " Oh, yes, he might, but I don't." " Based on what?" " You are here." "You didn't have to be." "You could have stayed home." "That says something about who you are." "[laughs sarcastically] That I'm crazy." "Hmm." "And now if you will excuse me, I have a lot of wood to collect." "See you, bye-bye" "[Zhao] Come on, let's go!" "II." "You know the old saying about blaming the bearer of bad news?" "Yes, Your Highness." " Do you believe it's true?" " I hope not, Your Highness." "Good news. [Exhales]" "I'm getting married!" "Bad news." "Warrior Zhao is on his way." " Kill him." " [yells] [grunts]" "Brutus!" "Not him!" "Kill Zha0!" "Oops." " [Jack] So I assume you have a plan." " [Zhao] I do." "Save the princess." "Prevent her marriage." "Wait, she's getting married?" "Forced to." "Unless we stop it." "Uh, who's the groom?" "Arun The Cruel." "[scoffs] That's his name?" "His full name is Arun The Cruel, The Horrible," "The Terrible, The Miserable, but we keep it short." "If the marriage takes place, when she becomes Empress, he becomes Emperor." "And once he's Emperor, he will kill her, and the whole country is doomed." " Are you finished with dinner?" " I guess." "Now we sleep." "Hey, I know we're roughing it, but do we have any blankets and pillows?" "Blankets, no." "Pillow..." "Yes." "[sighs]" "II [grunts]" "[Zhao] Good night." "Okay, say we rescue the princess." "Does she have anyone else in mind to marry'?" "Not yet." "Any idea what kind of husband she's looking for?" "Cause in the little time that we spent together, you know, I..." "I felt that we had something, you know?" "A connection." "'Cause we like the same clothes, we like the same music." " You don't... you don't think that..." " No, I don't think, Jack Bronson." "She's looking for someone good, someone brave, a hero." "Yeah." "[Treasurer] Seized in the raid of the capital of Ching Hai province." "1,600 bricks of silver." "1,800 bricks of gold." "Six chests of diamonds and 26 slaves." " Only 26 slaves?" " Yes, I know." "We're underperforming in that department." "Who's in charge of slaves?" "My cousin." "Get rid of him." "[grunts]" "Brutus!" "I meant the cousin, not him!" "Oops..." "Let's take a moment here, big fella." "Now, I know you want to please me." "But, next time, before you kill someone, should we have a signal, maybe?" "Like something like that?" "Like a signal?" "Like that, a signal like that." " Like that?" " Kill him." " Yes." "Yes." " Yes." "That signal." "That's the signal." "[Barbarian] Your Highness!" "[Sulin yelling]" "Finally, my beautiful bride has arrived." "Hello, my love!" "How are you?" " Tired from your long trip?" " [grunting]" "In need of a hot bath?" "A home-cooked meal maybe?" "Soon, my love." "Soon." " [grunting]" " You and me." "[chuckling] ' [muffled yelling]" "You and me." "[yelling indistinctly]" "Call the tailor for a fitting." "II." "What are you doing?" "It's gonna rain." "Mm." "[Jack] There's no clouds." "Not all rain comes from clouds." "Oh." "My God!" "Ah!" "Oh, my God, it's raining!" "The hell is going on?" "[grunts]" " He wants me dead." " So they know we're here?" "They know we're somewhere around here, so they just keep shooting arrows everywhere and hope to get lucky." "We call it the morning shower." "Why didn't you wake me up?" "I could have been dead." "If I wanted you dead, I'd do it myself." "You have to learn to listen." " [Jack] What does it say?" " [Zhao] "Do not enter"." "What's in there?" "The Unknown Lands." "[sighs] And what's in the Unknown Lands?" "Unknown things." "Okay, wait, but..." "You are dropping me off at the Wizard's, right?" " Wrong." " Okay, look." "I really think it's about time we thought about getting me home." "So do I. Here." " What's this?" " A map." "It'll take you to the Wizard." "I can't..." "I can't read this!" "I just want to go home and you're not helping." "I gave you a map." "Okay, so basically it's "get lost, Jack," huh?" ""I brought you here against your will." "I kidnapped you!"" "And now that you are not the person I thought you were, it's 'Adiés, amigo, you are not my problem."'" "Wrong on number one." "I did not kidnap you." "No one made you jump into that chest." "Right on number two." "You are not my problem." "My problem is to get through the Unknown Lands." "Get past Arun's army, past his personal guard, past the tower guards, find the Princess, get past the tower reinforcements, past the personal guard reinforcements," " kill Arun..." " Hello." "And then bring the Princess back, so she can be made Empress, and save the country." "That is my problem." "[exclaims] [grunts] [both grunt]" "So you're saying I don't have a choice." "You do have a choice." "You can save yourself, or you can save her." "I can't save a princess!" "You're the Black Knight!" " Oh, yeah, I almost forgot." " [Barbarian] Sire!" "Sire!" "Sire!" "Good news!" "Don't be nervous." "It's been my lucky day so far." "I have a good feeling about this one." "I'm glad, Sire." "I'm sure it's good news." "Bad news."

"This Arun dude, maybe if he gets what he wants, he'll change." "You know?" "Be like, Arun The Kind?" "Do you have people in your world who get what they want by threatening to do bad things?" "There's this one kid." "And when you give him what he wants, does he change?" "Not really." ""Might" does not make right, Jack." "Right makes right." "If you don't stand up for what is right, then why stand up at all?" "That's easy to say." "This kid, he's bigger than me, he's stronger than me." "So what do you do?" "I run." "Does that solve your problem?" "No." "II" " [' Hawk] 3° You got a girl?" " [Zhao] No." " Because?" " Because I have my job." "What, your job doesn't leave time for a personal life?" "My job is my life." "That doesn't sound like much fun." "Fun?" "Yeah, you know?" "Doing things that make you feel good." " I feel good doing my job." " [animal calls]" "You gotta loosen up, dude." "Come on." "Ever seen this before?" "No?" "Okay, look." "It's called dancing, okay?" "It's like, uh... [beatboxing]" "No?" "Okay, try these on." "Mm-mm." "Just stay still, or I'll poke your eye out." "There you go." " Magic!" " It's cool." "Okay, I'm gonna lay down a beat and you just move your hips, okay?" "[beatboxing]" "I don't have time for fun." "Man, come on."

"Does science explain a rainbow or a snowflake?" " Yes." " But does it explain how you feel when you see the rainbow or the snowflake?" " No." " So you do have magic." " Feelings aren't magic." " What are they then?" "I don't know, they're feelings." "Okay?" "They make you do and say things you normally wouldn't do or say, like, if you met this girl you never knew, and all of a sudden, there's..." "You can't think of anything to say, but you can't stop talking." "And your body is, like, hot and cold at the same time, and your heart is beating like you just ran a mile in a minute," " and it's... it's like..." " Magic?" "Yeah, I guess."

"No, I'm not asking for the whole menu." "Just a little something." "Martial arts do not work with a little something." "Well, then, a lot of something." "Anything." "Even if I can do one thing to help out the next time we're in a situation." "Just give me something so I have a fighting chance." "Please." "[sighs] Come on." "Come on." "Get up." "Stand feet apart." "Uh, this is cool." "Bend your knees." "Sorry." "Okay." "Now imagine there is a big tree in front of you." "You see it?" " Yeah." " Is it big?" "Yeah." "Okay, now... hug it." "Do what?" "I mean, hug the tree." "Good." " That's it?" " That's it." "Well, how long do I have to stay like this?" "[sighs]" "Mm!"

"Now pay attention." "The secret of all martial arts is the circle." "When you move, the circle moves with you." "Here." "Let me show you." "Hit me." "Hit me again." "[exclaims]" "Again."

" [laughs]" " They never taught... [sighs]" " Oh, come on, where are you going?" " There's no time to waste." " You're gonna walk?" " We don't have a choice." "Okay, you gotta get over this "you don't have a choice" thing, all right?" "You do have a choice." "You're strong and you're coordinated." "Maybe we can work something out." "Okay?" "I teach you to swim, you teach me more..." " Deal?" " [sighs]" "Come on." " Oh!" " You can do it." "You can do it, man, come on." "Trust me." "[sighs]" " Hey, that's it."

"I'll show you around, maybe get my Mom to take us to Disneyland or something." "I told you, I can never take off from my job." "Hey, man, look, you really got to get a life." "When you are responsible for a life, you don't have a life." "Okay." "Did you... did you, like, go to school to learn how to say things like that?" "Like what?" "[sighs] [imitates Zhao] "When you are responsible for a life", you don't have a life."" "What's wrong with it?" "Nothing's wrong with it, it just... sounds smart." "It does?" "Yeah." "It does."

" Get past the personal guards." " Correct." "Get past the tower guards, find the princess," " get past reinforcements." " Good." " Kill Arun." " Exactly." "Crown Sulin Empress and save the country?" "You're learning to listen." "Yeah, the real question is, do you have a plan to execute the plan?" " Hmm?" " [Jack stammers] [soldiers yelling in Mandarin] [soldiers hush]" " Good morning!" " Mm?" "Uh..." "[Jack] Great plan." " Are we in the fortress?" " Yeah." " Are we past the army?" " Yeah." "Have we passed the personal guards?" "Almost." "Well, then I think that the plan is working." "I think the plan to get in is working." "How about a plan to get out?" "I'm working on it." "Warrior Zhao," "I'm so honored that you've come all this way to attend my wedding." "I'm not here to attend your wedding." "I'm here to attend your funeral." "[chuckling]" " And you are?" " He's the Black Knight." "[stammering] I'm not the Black Knight, okay?" "I'm Jack Bronson." "Jack Bronson..." "I've got good news." "And I've got bad news." "The good news is, tomorrow, when my bride and I are married, we will stand, there." "And you two, will stand... there." "Okay." "What's the bad news?" "As soon as we take our vows, and our new life begins... [trap door opening]" "Your life ends." "II." " He's not bluffing, is he?" " Arun doesn't do bluffs." "Maybe he'll be feeling generous on his wedding day and he'll pardon us." "Nun doesn't do generous." "Okay." "If he doesn't do this and he doesn't do that, is there anything that he does do?" " He murders and pillages." " So in other words, we're dead." "When one door closes, another one opens." "[door opens]" "See?" "Dinner is served." "It's time to eat." "Uh... excuse me."
