club to explore

and i bet we're way better explorers

than you guys are anyway

yeah right no way forget that

well then let's have a competition

to climb the waterfall mountain

first club to climb to the top winds on

we'll get up this mountain way faster

than them

[Music]

climber like lick lick in our club

tell me again why we don't want everyone

in our club hey

anyone in their club burst

dongwa how much further do you think it

is to the top

we're okay but we can't get off here

we're stuck i'm scared what are we gonna

do

i'll go get a rope and then you can all

climb up it

[Music]

i don't think there's time to wait for a

rope but i have an idea

[Music]

ouch it's a good idea

but there's not enough of us wow

[Applause]

maybe fufu should have stayed and given

us flying lessons

who better hurry

[Music]

i think this ledge might collapse before

buffoon gets back

everyone's stuck in their stomachs maybe

if we look then it will

huh never mind too bad our chain wasn't

long enough to reach you

too bad we decided to make different

clubs

pretty soon there'll be so little room

we'll all have to stand on top of each

other

[Music]

be fine

donggua you just need to continue

practicing where

stop pacing you'll wear a hole in the

magistrate's desk

dunk one knows how important this day is

he's been training for weeks

don't worry he'll be here

[Music]

i hope you cats are ready to write

because i have a lot of rules

rule number one there will be no fishing

on fridays

um as i was saying there

is to be no basket weaving on uh

tuesdays can you stall

i'm going to see what was so special

that dongwa would miss such an important

ritual

[Applause]

good now the next move

combines the balance of mind and body

hmm

[Music]

oh no i forgot that i had to write my

first solo rule today

please excuse me

oh there you are do you know what time

it is

um uh you've been training for this

family ritual for weeks and then you go

and miss it

sorry i i forgot

since you forgot i want five extra

scrolls of writing practice by tomorrow

morning

what but really i don't know what could

be more important than this

it's not fair

it's all in the wrists my dears

now it's your turn remember grace

poise and finesse

[Music]

bad dope oh more dancing and less

daydreaming

[Music]

no no no bado why are you so preoccupied

oh it's nothing

[Music]

i'll never get this finished

how's it going not good just because

mama and bob are scribes doesn't mean i

have to be one too

we're all going to be scribes it's a

family tradition

i know but i love gung fu more and i'm

getting really good at it

definitely better than i am at writing

then tell

baba he wouldn't understand he only

wants me to write

i don't see why i have to give up

something i do love for something i

don't

[Music]

good it's better but your writing is

sloppy

i'd like to see five more scrolls from

you but i have to you have to

what nothing all right then

maybe i'll practice my gunku first and

then finish these later

[Music]

you're just in time everything's ready

what are we making today

a real treat dragon beard candy

[Music]

mix this by the way those dumplings we

made last time turned out

very nicely

[Music]

thank you

your parents must be proud

[Music]

actually i can't talk to them about it

they just think i'm spending too much

time in the kitchen instead of learning

things that teach me

grace and poise

well as far as i'm concerned you're very

graceful

in the kitchen oops

you'll get the hang of it

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

tangua

[Music]

he'll never get these scrolls finished

by tomorrow

i'll just finish them for him this time

besides i'm so much faster than he is

[Music]

what time is it oh no

i didn't finish the scrolls don't worry

i finished them for you last night

but i'm not doing it again you did

oh thank you thank you thank you

[Music]

ah i'm telling you all this hard work is

paying off

these scrolls are ten times better

that's exactly what i was just telling

him

bye just so you keep up the good work

i'd like you to do another five scrolls

but you'll be a full-fledged scribe in

no time

i don't want to be a full-fledged scribe

i want to be a gum fool master

[Music]

what's wrong i didn't want mama and

bobbitt here

but i kind of didn't have time to do my

writing today

so i thought oh no you don't you had all

day well i just wanted to have a quick

gum fu lesson

but i got so wrapped up in it besides

you're so much faster than i am

and better and smarter

oh all right

[Music]

but only if you promise to tell bubba

how important this gungfu demonstration

is to you bubba would never understand

what wouldn't i understand

uh um you're making your sister do your

work

i uh i and you

helping your brother to deceive me

that's not like you

what do you two have to say for

yourselves

well until you can come up with an

explanation for this you are

both confined to your quarters but bubba

tomorrow's the

and that is final

[Music]

hmm what will i have to snack on

badou what are you doing in here at this

hour

i asked cook to show me how to make

dragon beard candy

what you need is to go to sleep honestly

you spend more time in here than you do

practicing your dancing

now to bed hmm

[Music]

can i go play outside no

you will stay inside and practice

writing

but

scrolls scrolls scrolls

[Music]

no no no graceful battle more

graceful

[Music]

ah here's our tea now

thank you cook

this is delicious how did you make it

oh you would have to ask bardo she made

it

[Music]

come here

now why can't your dancing be as lovely

as these

because because i don't love dancing the

way i love to create in the kitchen

my dear you can always tell me how you

feel

however you still need to learn your

dance steps

but

i must say that you have quite a tasty

talent

thank you mama

i have something to say

the reason i miss writing my first solo

rule

is i was practicing for the g*n foo

demonstration

you were why didn't you tell me i was

afraid you'd be mad

i'm not mad dongwa but writing is a rare

gift and a great family tradition

i know but bubba writing is really hard

work for me

but when i do gum fu it's like the most

natural thing i've ever done

maybe i have been too hard on you do you

think there might be some way to make

writing less of a chore well one thing

if i didn't have so much to do then i'd

like it more

and be able to do it even better that

sounds like a good plan

i want you to enjoy writing not think of

it as work

like gunfu baba what about the

demonstration

well you can still make it if you hurry

and now can we have a volunteer from the

audience

as you can see kung fu is a

[Music]

you do know that being a scribe is

slightly less

[Music]

dangerous

[Music]

so

[Music]
