*Po: We hit the spot, dad.
*Mr. Ping: Really served the noodles like tofu.
*Po: How much tofu we sell today?
*Mr. Ping: Like a bunch as always.
*Po: I was thinking about bringing the Furious Five for dinner as planned the other night.
*Mr. Ping: Like what? You work with the Furious Five now and you should have been making dinner with them back at the Jade Palace.
*Po: I just wanted to come and hang out. Just wanted to help you serve some noodles.
*Mr. Ping: You are obsessed with noodles, are you?
*Po: When I was having the noodle dream. *see the Furious Five and Master Shifu on the way* Hey. Master Shifu, guys, what's up?
*Tigress: Hello Po.
*Shifu: Long day today, huh.
*Po: Always a long day for the ship.
*Monkey: You must be on a roll.
*Mr. Ping: Rolling like a dumpling.
*Crane: Got any dinner?
*Po: Oh, we got dinner. The soup you always asked for when you come into the shop.
*Viper: You planned a night for dinner lately. And now, we're here for you.
*Mantis: We're going to spice some toppings up.
*Mr. Ping: What are you waiting for? Come on over and get your soup.
*Shifu: Food service is quite welcome.
*Po: What are you waiting for? Let's sip some noodles.
(Po, Mr. Ping, Master Shifu and the Furious Five drink some noodle soup together as they laugh and tell about their stories and jokes)
*Po: What a day. What is put into the soup.
*Mr. Ping: Onions.
*Po: It can't be onions. *laugh*
*Shifu: The other night, my servant made some dumplings that were shaped as a finger and on the inside, he thought he added some ox meat on the inside.
*Po: Ooh, that's kinda harsh.
*Monkey: Never forget this love of soup the universe have brought.
*Viper: My sisters enjoy these type of noodles. Something the Dragon Warrior always get.
*Mantis: I can taste the tofu.
*Tigress: It doesn't hold up to a regular noodle soup than a restaurant-made recipe.
*Po: What? Our restaurant is our home. All the recipes we make is made from homemade.
*Monkey: I wonder how a homemade bread taste like at home.
*Mr. Ping: The Panda village sure do how to make great dumplings.
*Po: Yeah. You can say that again, dad. *laugh and drink some soup, thinking about what is missing* Hmm. There's something missing about my food obsession lately.
*Shifu: What are you missing?
*Po: I am missing something.
*Tigress: Is it some tofu?
*Po: No.
*Mr. Ping: Bread?
*Po: Nope.
*Shifu: More noodles.
*Po: Nah.
*Mantis: Some vegetables to put on.
*Po: Man, we've been eating the same soup over and over again. Why can't we try out something different!
*Mr. Ping: I thought you liked the soup.
*Po: I know. But we feel like, we have been eating the same thing over and over again since the shop opened.
*Shifu: Then why don't you try something new.
*Po: What else I can eat other than noodles?
*Shifu: You do know every state around the world have different kinds of foods in different cultures.
*Po: Like name any one of the foods I should know I should get.
*Shifu: Outside of China, America have hamburgers. Mexico also have tacos and burritos. The United Kingdom have Bangers and Mash. Canada have Nanaimo Bars. Africa have Kapenta with sadza and much more from other countries. The best of all, macaroni and cheese!
*Po: Whoa. Macaroni and cheese. I would love some macaroni and cheese! But where can I find some macaroni and cheese?
*Tigress: You have to go make it yourself, silly.
*Shifu: You know what foods grow from grains and wheats.
*Po: What grows from the ground? Peanuts?
*Shifu: You don't know about food, do you?
*Po: Of course not.
*Shifu: Wrong! With our knowledge, we will make all the food I mention and you are going to try it to see what kind of food taste better for your new menu for your restaurant!
*Mr. Ping: It's the first time China tried out something new.
*Po: If you're going to make me some recipes, I'll eat it and give it a review like what a food critic always does.
*Mantis: You know the drill.
*Monkey: Let's cook.
*Shifu: With passion and effort!
*Po: I hope you all don't let me know.
*Mr. Ping: They'll never let you down. Not even Oogway would do.
*Po: Oogway is right. There are no accidents.
(Master Shifu and the Furious Five cook all the food as they use a lot of oil and frying to cook up the recipes. After doing so, they deliver all the foods to Po to try out at the table.)
*Shifu: Dinner is served!
*Po: Whoa. *see all the food at the table* The biggest main dish of all time.
*Mr. Ping: That's a lot. You're not going to eat them all in one night, are you?
*Po: I'm going to eat them all. Whatever I like it or not.
*Monkey: That's a whole lot of junk food right there.
*Tigress: Everyone said it's not good for their bodies.
*Mantis: Unless some of them are healthy.
*Viper: Like a apple.
*Crane: That's healthy.
*Shifu: Alright panda. We brought you a lot of variety of food from these countries and you're going to try them.
*Mr. Ping: It's not noodles or tofu. It's the best you can do to just, try them like you did with wheat bread.
*Po: I will try them all dad. I promise I won't let everyone down.
*Shifu: Try this hamburger if you may. *pass out a hamburger to Po*
*Po: Ew. What is this?
*Shifu: It's some patty cake to try out.
*Po: How am I suppose to eat this thing? Where's my fork and why the meat smell like a dead cow from the farm?
*Shifu: Just eat it with your hands, like you did with bread.
*Po: If it bread on top. Then I'm going to try it. *eat a hamburger* Mmm. So good.
*Tigress: How does it taste?
*Po: Amazing! I never taste anything like never seen before. *dream of eating a hamburger with a song in his head* Everybody love ham-bur-gers! They taste like a round sandwich. It comes with meat. And comes with cheese. With lettuce and tomatoes. And pickles on top. With some ketchup and mustard. With a pinch of salt. Everybody love ham-bur-ger. Yeah.
*Shifu: Try some tacos and burritos as well.
*Po: Sure thing. *eat some tacos and burritos* Mmm. So crunchy. *dream of eating some tacos and burritos with a song in his head* Everybody love tacos and burritos. They taste like anything like a shell.
*Tigress: Give these Bangers and Mash a shot.
*Po: A shot? Like a bullet? Fine. *eat some bangers and mash* It's banging like mashed potatoes! *dream of eating some bangers and mash with a song in his head* Everybody love Bangers and Mash. They be banging like mashes.
*Mr. Ping: Po, you're not eating too much, are you?
*Po: No I'm not. I'm good. I'm really good and fine.
*Mr. Ping: You won't eat the Nanaimo Bars, will you?
*Po: I will. I really will. *eat the Nanaimo Bars* Tasty. *dream of eating some Nanaimo Bars with a song in his head* Everybody love Nanaimo Bars. It taste like chocolate on a bar.
*Mr. Ping: Are you sure you don't want to eat no more?
*Po: I still got a lot to try out.
*Crane: How much food is he eating?
*Monkey: We just cook the food. He should have been eating what we offer from him.
*Shifu: We serve it up for the panda like we did with the cookies and crackers.
*Po: *eat some Kapenta with sadza* Spicy.
*Viper: Spicy, much?
*Po: I love how this Kapenta with sadza taste. Like curry. *dream of eating some Kapenta with sadza with a song in his head* Everybody love Kapenta with sadza. It taste like a dish with grease and some pasta.
*Tigress: Are you done eating?
*Po: Yeah. It feel like I'm missing one more.
*Everyone: Aw.
*Shifu: Come on. We were just finished serving you some first tries.
*Mr. Ping: Let's go back with the dumplings, shall we?
*Po: No. I forgot the macaroni and cheese!
*Everyone: *shocked*
*Shifu: Now we want to serve you some macaroni and cheese?
*Po: Yes. Big time. The one last time I never tried before and now, I want you to serve as many macaroni and cheese you can serve me like you did with the noodles and dumplings.
*Monkey: That's going to be a load of bananas.
*Viper: We cooked hard on making these recipes.
*Po: Bring me some macaroni and cheese. I'm waiting like waiting for the ship to come.
*Everyone: *serve Po some bowls of macaroni and cheese*
*Po: Let's see what this macaroni of cheese can hold.
*Shifu: Are you going to eat it?
*Po: Are you sure?
*Shifu: You tell me! You asked for it!
*Po: What if I don't eat it.
*Mr. Ping: Just try it, sonny boy!
*Po: Okay okay. You all pushed me to try out the last meal of the night. But you don't have to push me through to serve me a whole bunch of variety like putting all the dumplings in my mouth for a dumpling eating contest.
*Shifu: *furious* Can you. Just. Eat. The macaroni. And cheese?
*Tigress: We're waiting and you're still cracking up.
*Po: Okay. Sorry for the long wait. And now, the first try.
*Viper: Don't even think about it.
*Po: Hard pass. Just kidding. Whatever. *eat some macaroni and cheese*
*Mr. Ping: How does it taste?
*Po: Mmm. It's so good.
*Shifu: Ah. He likes it.
*Po: How about the better review. *eat a whole bunch of macaroni and cheese* I love it!
*Crane: Ah. A taste in pasta.
*Po: What is pasta?
*Shifu: That is the pasta you're eating.
*Po: The macaroni? Oh, I am eating the pasta with cheese flavor. Guess I'm gonna eat all the macaroni and cheese all by myself. *eat all the macaroni and cheese*
*Mantis: He is a eating machine!
*Viper: Built for eating.
*Po: Best meal for a day. *dream of eating macaroni and cheese with a song in his head* Everybody love macaroni and cheese! Hu. Ha. Everybody love mixing some fla-vor. Hu. Ha. With a little spice of salt. Little spice of salt. That cheese is juicy as wa-ter. Juicy as water. With a shape based of a tube, it goes around like a pipe. With a taste of a pasta, it make it even good. When you boil the pasta up, it started to move like fluff. Like boiling with the noodles, the best flavor with the greatest taste. Everybody love macaroni and cheese. Yeah!
*Everone: *clap for Po*
*Mr. Ping: My son. The macaroni and cheese man!
*Po: You know what? Why don't you all try the food yourselves and see how it taste.
*Shifu: Okay. We'll do our best. If we don't like it, you're wrong on that one.
*Po: You can go easy on me if you don't stop dragging your feet.
*Shifu: I should have warned you in the first place. *eat a bunch of food with everyone* Not bad.
*Tigress: It's delicious.
*Mantis: Never taste the better of something new this time.
*Viper: We love it.
*Monkey: A whole variety of love we can get. This breaks the masterpiece!
*Crane: Perfectly cooked.
*Mr. Ping: Well done. The perfect example of a well-made variety of recipes.
*Po: In the morning, we're going to cook our own recipes and sell them to the public.
*Mr. Ping: The shop will love all of these new examples of what we have deliver.
*Shifu: The first idea come in mind is in your head.
*Po: All you need is knowledge.
*Shifu: Inner peace can make it up to take a break from kung-fu fighting.
*Po: You know what to do when we open the shop this morning.
(The next morning, the Dragon Warrior Noodles and Tofu shop was open as everyone came to the restaurant to try out the different kinds of meals such as hamburgers, bangers and mash and the only and only macaroni and cheese. The customers love the variety of meals given in the restaurant, just to embrace Po and his friends and family.)

*Monkey: Your stomach was never that empty for training.
*Po: That's all I need to get my speed skills going.
*Mantis: Macaroni and cheese is my favorite.
*Viper: So do us!
