“Mama Told Me Not to Kung Fu” · Season 2, Episode 23

In this episode: Po (2), Crane (2), Shifu (1)

[As Po and the Furious Five learn how to do the Iron Samara, Crane fails to concentrate and fling Po at the dummy, making him crash out of the courtyard and fall down the stairs]

Crane, if you'd done that in combat, someone could have gotten hurt!

[yelling in distant] Someone did!

[snapping sharply] Someone always gets hurt! Kung fu isn't safe! It's just like my… Like, someone said. [sadly turns around] I have to go. [starts walking to the doors]

What? Where?

I'm resigning from the Furious Five. [pushes the door open, accidentally hitting Po in the face] Goodbye, everyone… Forever.

[Po finds Crane in his father's noodle shop]

Hello. Why do you want to leave the Furious Five, buddy?

I don't want to talk about it.

Come on, you can tell me.

[defiantly] I said no!

Tell me.

No.

Tell me.

No.

Tell me.

No.

Tell me.

No.

Tell me.

No!

Tell me.

No--NO!

I could do this forever. Is this how you want to spend the rest of your life?

[sighs] It's my mother. She's always been kind of… overprotective. [voice-over during a 2D animated flashback] She made me wear a full suit of armor till I was six years old. I wasn't allowed to run or play, and she tied pillows to all the sharp corners in the house. She just didn't believe I could take care of myself. But one day, I snuck out and went to… a kung fu class! It was amazing! I knew right then it was what I wanted to do with my life. Of course, the class may have been a wee bit advanced for me. I don't know how my mom found out, but ever since then, she's hated kung fu. The slightest hint of it gives her dangerous heart palpitations. So I had to promise I would never, ever, ever have anything to do with kung fu.

[Back to the present]

[surprised] Whoa.

Po, my mom has a weak heart. If she knew I was a Kung Fu master, it would kill her.

Are you sure she doesn't know?

Yes, 'cause she's not dead! I've been telling her that I… [sighs] Manage an inn. It's what she always wanted.

Not like you… own an inn? Or you own a bunch of inns, or you invented inns?

No. Mother believes in keeping her expectations low. Anyway, I figured I could get away with it 'cause she hates traveling. So I thought she'd never come to visit. And now she's coming to visit!

Huh?

[nervously worried] Oh, Po. What am I gonna do?

[thinking; then gets an idea] Got it! You don't have to quit. We'll just pretend you're an inn manager. How long is she staying?

Just for the day. But it gets worse. I told her my inn is the Jade Palace. And that you and the Five work for me. And that Shifu is a poor, underprivileged simpleton who cleans the toilets!

[shocked] What?!

YFYan Fan

[calling for him; off-screen] Yoo-hoo! Son!

[Crane screams in panic, realizing his mother has arrived and is looking for him]

[covers his beak, silencing the screaming] Just keep her busy. [shoves him outside the noodle shop] Go!

YFYan Fan

Where are you?! [spots him; joyfully] Oh, my baby!

YFYan Fan

Oh, everybody is just as you describe them. Except, I thought you said the tiger was a girl.
