[MUSHU]
"Fail"? Not while I'm here! There's a hero in there somewhere. We just have to make you look on the outside like you do on the inside.

NOW I'M NOT PRONE TO BRAGGIN'
BUT I'M YOUR ONE BEST CHANCE.
YOU NEED THIS LITTLE DRAGON
TO SHOW YOU HOW TO SHOW WHO WEARS THE PANTS.

A LITTLE "MISS" DIRECTION
CAN TAKE YOU REALLY FAR!
AND UNDER MY PROTECTION,
I'LL MAKE YOU A STAR.

(MUSHU enlists the help of the ENSEMBLE.)

[MUSHU]
Little help?

(The ENSEMBLE jumps to its feet and joins MUSHU and MULAN on stage.)

[GROUP 1]
GOT TO LOOK THEM IN THE EYE.

[GROUP 2]
STARE THEM DOWN. NOW, DON'T BE SHY!
[GROUP 3]
JUST REMEMBER: you're a guy!

[ALL]
KEEP 'EM GUESSIN'

YOU DON'T WANT YOUR COVER BLOWN,
GIRL, YOU GOT TO HOLD YOUR OWN.
NOW JUST THINK MORE "BARITONE."
KEEP 'EM GUESSIN'

[MUSHU]
Show us your manly walk.

[MULAN]
Okay, the walk! This you've gotta see. The manly walk I have pretty much down.

(MULAN shows her "manly" walk, which is none-too-manly.)

[MUSHU]
Are soldiers' hips supposed to move like that?

[MULAN]
Okay, maybe the walk needs a littlе help. But...
(dropping her voice, poorly)
... thе voice, I've got down. I mean...
(lowering it more)
... down.
(practices solider greetings)
Excuse me, where do I sign in? Ha! I see you have a sword; I have one, too. They're very manly and tough, like me...
(MULAN attempts to draw her sword, but can't get it out of the scabbard. When she finally pulls it out, she drops it.)

Mushu, I'll never make it. I can't be a boy.
