Here comes the song 'You'll Bring Honor to us All'

In town

Woman #1: Fa Li, where is your daughter? The Matchmaker is not a patient woman. Fa Li: Of all the days to be late! I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck. Granny Fa: How lucky can they be? They're dead. Besides, I've got all the luck we'll need. [Holds up a wicker cage with a cricket inside.] This is your chance to prove yourself. [She closes her eyes and steps off the sidewalk.] Fa Li: Grandma! No! Granny Fa walks across the street; vehicles crash, but she emerges unharmed.

There would have been a reaction to this, but most of the watchers were to busy trying to pick their jaws up off of the floor.

Granny Fa: Yup! This cricket's a lucky one! [Fa Li sighs.] Mulan comes riding up on Khan, and hops off. Mulan: I'm here! [looks at her mother] What? But, Mama, I had to- Fa Li: None of your excuses. Now, let's get you cleaned up. 'Honor to us all music begins to play' Woman #1: 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.

A few of the men leaned in with intrest, they were about to watch a young woman meet her match! Who would it be?

Mulan:

It's freezing! Fa Li: It would've been warm, if you were here on time. Woman #1: 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. Fa Li: Mulan, what's this? Mulan: Uh ... notes ... in case I forget something. Granny Fa: Hold this. [Hands Crickee to Fa Li] We're going to need more luck than I thought. chuckles rippled through the room Woman #2: Wait and see, when we're through Woman #3: Boys will gladly go to war for you Woman #2: With good fortune Woman #3: And a great hairdo Both: You'll bring honor to us all. A girl can bring her family
Great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this might be the day Woman #4: Men want girls with good taste Woman #5: Calm Fa Li: Obedient Woman #5: Who work fast-paced Fa Li: With good breeding Woman #5: And a tiny waist All: You'll bring honor to us all. We all must serve our Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons Woman #6: 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! Fa Li: There, you're ready. Granny Fa: Not yet! An apple for serenity
A pendant for balance
Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now, add a cricket, just for luck,
And even you can't blow it!

The chuckles turned into peals of laughter, and for some reason 'Ping' was shrinking down in his seat, his face redder than Mulan's lips

Mulan:

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. 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 ... 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! By the time the song was over, the men were exploding with laughter THIS was how the woman prepared for marriage?
