why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?
well, i didn't say that.
i have had a vision.  tai lung will return.
nothing is impossible.
one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
your mind is like this water, my friend. when it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. but if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.
it is time.
i don't know.
yes, and one i feared i would not live to see. are your students ready?
now know this, old friend. whomever i choose will not only bring peace to the valley, but also to you.
i sense the dragon warrior is among us.
how interesting.
him.
you.
the universe has brought us the dragon warrior!
there are no accidents.
i see you have found the sacred peach tree of heavenly wisdom.
i understand. you eat when you are upset.
so why are you upset?
probably.
totally.
quit, don't quit. noodles, don't noodles.
you are too concerned with what was and what will be. there is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. that is why it is called the present.
hmmm?
ah, shifu. there is just news. there is no good or bad.
that is bad news.
if you do not believe that the dragon warrior can stop him.
there are no accidents.
well, that was no accident either.
my old friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours, until you let go of the illusion of control.
yeah. look at this tree, shifu. i cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time.
ah, yes. but no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. you may wish for an apple, or an orange.  but you will get a peach.
maybe it can. if you are willing to guide it, to nurture it. to believe in it.
no, you just need to believe. promise me, shifu. promise me you will believe.
good. my time has come. you must continue your journey without me.
you must believe.
