Mantis : What's taking so long?
Po : The world moved too slow for Mantis. He was
too fast for the world.
Mantis : Give me that !
Po : One day, it would get
him into trouble.
Goat : A
gang of crocodiles
stole my village's supply of..
Mantis : Wood?
Goat : ...wool coats. And if we don't get them back, we'll...
Mantis : Look unfashionable ?
Goat : ...freeze to death.
Mantis : Just as I thought. And where did these scaly savages run off to ?
Goat : They went...
Mantis : West!
Goat : No, east! –
Mantis : What are you...?
Goat : Towards the... –
Mantis : Hill!
Goat : No! The island of...
Mantis : Rhinos?
Goat : Crocodile bandits !
Mantis : Crocodile bandits ? East ? Wool coats! I knew it! I'll need a boat.
Goat : You need to be very...
Mantis : Quick.
Goat : Careful. And take...
Mantis : A packed lunch ?
Goat : This map.
Mantis : No maps !
Goat : Mantis, they...
Mantis : Won't know what hit 'em.
Goat : But traps! They're famous for setting traps.
Mantis : A trap! Why didn't anyone warn me ?
Crocodile : Well, if it isn't the world-famous Mantis. Guess you were so fast
you forgot to check for traps.
Mantis : How about you let me out and I'll show you how fast I can make you cry.
Crocodile :Why don't we leave you in there and see how fast you can grow old ?
Po : No matter how hard he tried, Mantis could not escape.
Mantis : No matter how hard I try, I cannot escape.
Po : He could do nothing but sit and wait for something to happen. And so he
waited. And waited...and waited. Until something mind-blowing happened.
For the first time, the world around Mantis moved faster than he did. Forced to
wait, Mantis entered a trance-like, totally awesome state of mind. Mantis had
found the one thing he'd been missing. Patience and a brilliant plan.
Crocodile :Hey, Mantis! Wake up! It's time to eat. Hey, you guys? That's yucky.
I think he's dead. Touch him. Poke him with something! Careful. Careful.
Po : Mantis had to summon every ounce of chi he could
muster. Just to keep from laughing. The crocodiles totally fell for his amazing
"staying still for a really long time" technique.
