[Takes a deep breath] Breathe deeply. The breath flows to the finger tips, then down to the toes...

Then the toes goes up...The bad guys's nose! Hyah! [Jade high kicks and punches while Jackie just stares at her] What? He was asking for it.

Discipline, Jade.

But I want to be a lean, mean Jackie Chan machine!

Don't be in such of a hurry! Slow and steady wins the race.

Chinese proverbs, right?

Greek, actually. The story of "The Tortoise and the Hare". Once upon a- Where are you going?

Breakfast. Race ya!

...so there I was, flying the plane, all by myself, no co-pilot. And Jackie's hanging out the back, flopping around with no parachute or anything!

Yeah, right. I bet the Snake Lady was there too.

Viper? No, that was in New York.

You know, Shendu, these Talisman expeditions, let's just say are raking up some hefty out of pocket expenses. And as of yet, there's nothing coming back into my pocket!

When and only when your men acquire all twelve Talismans, the lost Treasure of Ching Xi Hung shall cover your...expenses...ten thousand times over.

The reputed lost treasure.

Ah, so we have a skeptic.

[a Shadowkhan appears holding a golden goblet, covered with a lid, which he lifts revealing gold and jewels, astonishing Valmont]

Patience, Valmont. Slow and steady wins the race.

[Jackie tricks Jade into getting in a Taxi with Uncle]

So how was school?

[in a bad mood] Peachy.

Ah, peachy! One more thing. Did Jackie Find the Rabbit Talisman?

[voice becomes raspy] I am not Jade. I am Paigon the Powerful, ruler of the Rabbit Realm.

[Uncle gasps in terror]

I must fulfill my destiny or the universe itself will be UN-MADE! RELEASE ME AT ONCE!

[taxi stops and Jade gets out]

[coughing] Man, that's rough on the throat.

KNKarl Nivor

Gentlemen.

Are you...Karl....Kniver?

Nivor. Dr. Karl Nivor, in the flesh.

[out of sight]

Who's this Nivor guy?

SHH!

And this fellow must be the merchandise of which my friend Valmont spoke. Mmmm, yes. You're a fine specimen, aren't you? Aren't you?

[annoyed] THE MONEY.

[sigh] Borris. [a chef appears holding a briefcase of money] Pay the man. [Tohru accepts the briefcase] Care to join me for dinner?

Thank you. No.

[licking his fingers] But we're having, quite the delicacy. A dish so rare, you might say it's endangered. Turtle soup.

[out of sight]

Ew! He's gonna eat Aesop?! [gasp] He's gonna eat Aesop...

Are you sure? Hmm?

Y-yeesss...we uh...uh...ummm [clears throat] I must deliver this to Valmont. [holding the Rabbit Talisman]

Well, the sooner you find a forklift, the sooner I may lift a fork...to my lips.

Borris, that brazed manatee you prepared last week was absolutely exquisite, and the grilled American condor on a bit of fava bean [puckering sounds] to die for. Don't forget the carrots.

Release Aesop, you tortoise-eating creep!

[chuckling] Such a delightful child. She'll go well with a nice Bearnaise sauce, wouldn't you say, Borris?

WHAT?!

Only joking, princess. Children are much too common for my sophisticated palette.

Whoa. How'd you get from there to here so fast?

[shows Jade the Rabbit Talisman] And now we'll save the tortoise. See? Slow and steady, wins the race.

But you have super, rabbit speed! I'm getting mixed messages here!

Oh-er-uh. Don't be smart!

Valmont, your men are supposed to acquire Talismans! Not sell pets!

Perhaps if you'd given fair consideration to the advance I requested, none of this would have-

[Shendu in a fury shoots fire at both Valmont and Tohru]

WHOA! I did not know he could do that!

Come on! A turbo-turtle?

Faster than a speeding rabbit.

No way!

Way!

Yeah, right. I bet that super strong Ox guy was there too!

El Toro? Nah, that was in Mexico, when I was flying the plane!
