Emperor: The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
Shang: Sir?
Emperor: You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty.
Mulan: You shouldn't have to go.
Fa Li: Mulan.
Mulan: There are plenty of young men to fight for China.
Fa Zhou: It is an honor to protect my country and my family.
Mulan: So you'll die for honor.
Fa Zhou: I will die doing what's right.
Mulan: But if you.
Fa Zhou: I know my place! It is time you learned yours.
Grandmother Fa: Who spit in her bean curd?
Mushu: We're gonna die! We're gonna die! We're definitely gonna die! No way we survive this! Death is coming.
The Emperor of China: 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.
Mushu: You know, we have to work on your people skills.
Ancestor: My children never caused such trouble. They all became acupuncturists.
Ancestor: Well, we can't all be acupuncturists.
Ancestor: No! Your great-granddaughter had to be a cross-dresser.
Mushu: I'm doomed! And all 'cause Miss Man decides to take her little drag show on the road.
Mushu: Go get her? What's the matter with you... After this Great Stone Humpty-Dumpty mess, I'd have to bring her home with a medal to be let back in the temple. Wait a minute! That's it! I'll make Mulan a war hero, and the ancestors will be begging me to come back. That's the master plan! Oh, you've done it now, man.
Chien-Po: Oh, Yao. You made a friend.
Mushu: I was this close. This close to impressin' the ancestors, gettin' the top shelf, an entourage. Man. All my fine work. Pfft.
Mushu: Did you see those Huns? They popped out of the snow, like daisies.
The Emperor of China: A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.
Fa Zhou: 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.
Answer: They were weights that he made everyone use to try to get the arrow. It's unknown how heavy they were but they must have been heavy enough to even make a strong guy like Chien-Po fall to the ground.
