-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Khan (that's the horse) and Katara come galloping in to town stopping in front of Feng. Katara dismounts with hay and dirt in her hair.
"I'm here!" Katara shouts turning to her mother who's frowning at her. "What? But, Mama, I had to-"
"None of your excuses Katara! You're late! Now, let's get you cleaned up for Aunt Wu."
"This is what you give me to work with? Well, honey, I've seen worse. We're going to turn this sow's ear…Into a silk purse." The Sachi began to sing examining Katara by pulling her clothes off and taking her hair down and finally forcing her into a tub of what once was hot water.
"It's freezing mama!" she exclaimed
"Well Katara it would have bee warmer if you were here…on time." Feng told her while the Sachi went to work on scrubbing her hair and so on.
"We'll have you, washed and dried, primped and polished till you glow with pride! Just my recipe for instant bride… You'll bring honor to us all." Sachi sang again rinsing Katara hair and being to scrub her arms and legs
"Katara, what's this?" Feng asked pointing to Katara's 'notes'.
"Uh ... just notes mama ... in case I forget something." She explained
Feng shook her head and let the women get on with their work.
"Hold this." Gran-Gran said handing Feng her lucky cricket "We're going to need more luck than I thought."
"Wait and see, when we're through…" Nikki sang drying off Katara.
"…Boys will gladly go to war for you…" Tein sang getting Katara's kimono on.
"…With good fortune…" Nikki put in adding some jewelry to her
"…And a great hairdo!" Tein finished up putting up Katara's hair
"You'll bring honor to us all." Nikki and Tein sang together stepping aside
"A girl can bring her family, great honor in one way. By striking a good match…and this might be the day!" They sang again
"Men want girls with good taste…" Nami sang putting on her white face makeup
"…Calm…" Masami added pulling the strap around her waist even tighter to see if she would yell or not. Katara did yell, instead she looked like she was going to faint. Masami smiled…
"…Obedient…" Feng added another stepping in
"…Who work fast-paced…" Masami sang quickly putting on Katara's Eyeliner, red lipstick, an even more white powder
"…With good breeding…" Feng added yet again
"…And a tiny waist!" Masami sang while yet again pulling Katara's strap tighter
"You'll bring honor to us all." They sang together
"We all must serve our Emperor, who guards us from the Huns. A man by bearing arms…A girl by bearing sons!" they sang together again
"When we're through, you can't fail! Like a lotus blossom, soft and pale. How could any fellow say, "No sale"? You'll bring honor to us all!" Naomi sang while giving her a silken purse.
"There, you're ready." Feng said looking proudly at her daughter. Just then Gran-Gran pushed her out of the way,
"Not yet! An apple for serenity," She sang putting an apple in Katara's mouth "A pendant for balance," she sang tucking a gold pendant in her kimono almost tipping Katara over "Beads of jade for beauty," She finally finished putting a jade bead necklace on her neck.
"You must proudly show it…now, add a cricket, just for luck, and even you can't blow it!" Gran-Gran sang giving her a sun umbrella and pushing her into the line of girls.
"Ancestors, hear my plea, please don't let me make a fool of me. And to not uproot my family tree…Keep my father standing tall." Katara sang to herself
"Scarier than the Undertaker, we are meeting our matchmaker! Destiny, guard our girls, help our future as it fast unfurls. Please look kindly on these cultured pearls…Each a perfect porcelain doll ..." Katara sang to the heavens
"Please bring honor to us, please bring honor to us, please bring honor to us, please bring honor to us, please bring honor to us all-----!" She finished up as Aunt Wu came out of her house
"Fa Mulan?" Aunt Wu called reading from a scroll
"Present!" Katara yelled out running over to Aunt Wu
"Speaking without permission and running…" Aunt Wu said in disapproval writing something down on pad.
"Oops…" Katara whispered as they walked inside
(Out side)
"Who spit in her bean curd?" Gran-Gran whispered over to Feng who smiled inwardly
(Inside again)
"Too skinny ... not good for bearing sons…" Aunt Wu shakes her head in disapproval again and scribbles it on her pad.
Crickee hoped out of his cage, Katara frantically reaches for him trying to get him back in while Aunt Wu's back is turned. She finally grabs Crickee.
"Now!" Aunt Wu spins around Katara retracts her arm quickly before she can see what she is doing and not knowing what to do puts him in her mouth.
"Recite the Final Admonition." Aunt Wu commanded
"Mmm-hmm-hmm ..." Katara tries to speak without letting Crickee out of her mouth…getting and idea she pulls out her fan and spits Crickee in it,
"Well?" Aunt Wu asked getting impatient
"Fulfill your duties, calmly and…" Katara forgets the rest and glances at her arm "…respectively. Um, reflect before you ... snack. I mean Act! This shall bring you honor and glory." She finished breathing out fanning herself.
Aunt Wu grabs the fan and searches it for cheat notes. She finds none. She grabs Katara by the arm (where the notes are!) and pulls her toward a table. The writing comes off in her hand.
"This way, now, pour the tea. To please your future in-laws, you must demonstrate a sense of dignity," She rubs her hand over her mouth, and the ink rubs off with a squeak making it look like she has a mustache "and refinement. You must also be poised."
Katara, staring at the Aunt Wu's new 'mustache', pours the tea but misses the cup. Then snaps back and quickly fills the teacup with out being noticed. Katara notices Crickee relaxing happily in the tea. Aunt Wu takes the teacup from her.
"Um, pardon me ..." Katara beings trying to get the cup back
"And silent!" Aunt Wu sniffs the tea "Ah ..."
"Could I just take that back? One moment ..." Katara grabs for the cup. Aunt Wu fights for the teacup, and they both fall back, the tea spills all over Aunt Wu and she gets mad. Crickee hops down her dress unseen.
"Why, you clumsy! ... Oh! Ah! Woo!" Aunt Wu yells as Crickee runs around inside her dress.
She trips over the fire-pot, spilling the coals and then sitting on them accidentally. The bottom of her dress beings to smoke. Mulan desperately fans the burned spot, and it bursts into flames. The matchmaker runs around screaming at the top of her lungs.
(Outside)
"I think it's going well, don't you?" Gran-Gran asked Feng
Just then Aunt Wu burst through the doors her butt still aflame. She starts running in circles screaming,
"Put it out! Put it out! PUT IT OUT!" Katara throws tea over her, putting out the fire. Aunt Wu stops to catch her breath.
Embarrassed, she hands the teapot to Aunt Wu and quickly walks toward Feng and Gran-Gran.
"You are a DISGRACE! You may look like a bride, but you will NEVER bring your family honor!" Aunt Wu yells furiously while pointing a finger in Katara's face.
People start to walk away, whispering things about Katara and possibly Aunt Wu's temper.
(At the Fa farm)
Katara is greeted with a warm smile by her father, but, humiliated, she turns away and takes Khan to the stable and begins to sing…
"Look at me ... I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter." Katara sang taking off Kahn's bridal "Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see that if I were truly to be myself…I would break my family's heart." She sang holding back tears while putting away Kahn's bridal and putting him in his stable.
"Who is that girl I see? Staring straight back at me…why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide, who I am, though I've tried! When will my reflection show, who I am inside? When will my reflection show…Who I am… inside?"
