Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005): Season 2, Episode 16 - The Lotus Temple - full transcript

Jackie searches for the Lotus Temple. Jade gets lost and finds the temple. She also encounters a young girl who is cursed. Jade promises to help her break the curse.

I'm in the woods.

I'm tired, cold, and hungry,

and I'm being hunted!

Aah!

Jade, I thought you were
going to gather firewood.

Hello. Have you learned
nothing from the movies?

Whoever gets the firewood

is always the creeping
terror's first victim.

So that's what happened
to the other little girl

I sent out for firewood.

Very funny.



I thought Mr. excitement
there was going to guide us

straight to the low-cost temple.

"Lotus" temple,

and I didn't ask
you to come along.

Yeah, well,
I didn't want to miss out

on all the fun.

Ancient wisdom:

Crouching tiger is invisible

until teeth flash in moonlight.

Well, duh. Can we go home?

Jade, it's very important

that we locate the lotus temple.

Somewhere inside is the
scroll of hung-chao.

It holds inscriptions
of great power.



Ancient wisdom:

Words are breath that blows
the fire of knowledge.

Yes! And our fire needs wood.
Go.

Oh, stay in sight of the camp.

Stay in sight, like,
I was going to...

Get lost.

Oh, boy.
This is exactly what happens

before the creeping
terror shows up.

No problem.

I'll just retrace my steps.

Uhh!

Aah!

Ok. This was not here before.

(Crying)

Ohh.

You should not be here.

Why? What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

Run from this place. Please!

(Roars)

Whoa. Talk about a mood swing.

Jade!
Ohh, I told her to stay close.

She never listens.

Ancient wisdom:

The foolish monkey
chases its tail

and catches trouble.

Mm. I should have brought a map.

Jade!

(Growls)

Uhh!

Ohh.

Aah!

This is exactly why

I didn't want to
go get firewood.

(Roars)

(Growls)

Aah!

Aah!

Whew.

Aah!

(Growls)

Whoooooa!

(Growls)

Grrrrr.

Aah!

(Roars)

Psych.

(Roaring)

Whoooooa!

(Roaring in pain)

(Breathless) I humbly...

Beg forgiveness.

It is the power of
the lotus temple

that changes me.

I am forced to guard it
against all intruders.

Yeah, well, you should put up

a beware of monster
sign or something.

If you heard my tale,
you would understand.

Please.

Oh, man.

I'll listen...

As long as you don't get

all "grrr" on me.

5 years ago,
on an evening like this,

I wandered into the forest

against my father's wishes.

It grew dark,

and I was soon
lost in the bamboo.

Hey, same here.

Then, under the light
of the full moon,

the lotus temple appeared.

I thought it was a miracle,

saving me from the cold.

The next morning,

with the first rays of the sun,

the temple began to disappear,

and I vanished along with it.

Hold the cell phone.
Are you saying

this place only exists at night?

Yes, and only under a full moon.

Anyone trapped within
when the sun rises

becomes a temple guardian
and may never leave again.

Pretty good fairy tale,

but there's one
hole in your story.

Why weren't you attacked
by a temple guardian?

The previous guardian

found the means to escape.

I've searched 5 years
for that secret,

but have not found it.

I miss my family so much.

Hmm.

I'm all about
beating the system.

Let's see.

You only go monstery

about intruders, right?

So if you ask for my help,

I'm not intruding. I'm helping.

Please,
would you enter and assist me?

But if I grow
horns, flee at once!

You got it.

I am xu-lin.

I'm Jade.

Jade! Jade!

Oh, where is she?

Bwaa!

Perhaps the little monkey
is closer than you think.

The lotus temple.

Are you coming?

I will wait here.

I would not want to...

Intrude.

This is the library.

Here lies the
wisdom of many ages.

Wow! I'll bet the secret to
escape is written on one of these.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Xu-lin?!

Jade!

I'm changing.

There must be an intruder.

Run, Jade! Hide!

Hey! I'm a guest.

But I sure feel
sorry for whoever...

Uncle Jackie!

Jade?

(Growling)

Bwaa!

(Growls)

Uh, heh heh.

(Growls) Aah!

Bwaa!

Uncle Jackie! Oh, man!

Which way? Which way?

Unh! Ohh!

Excuse me,

I'm just looking for...

Bwaa! Aah!

Ow!

(Roars)

Huh?

(Gasps)

Aah! Unh!

(Coughs)

(Roars)

Unh!

(Gurgling)

Bwaa!

Bwaa!

The scroll of hung-chao.

Dah!

Oof!

(Coughing)

Ohh...

Yaah!

Huh?

Uncle Jackie!

Are you...
what have you done to xu-lin?!

She was a monster.

She attacked me.

Ohh, ohh.

Duh! It's her job.

She's the temple guardian.

It's a bizarro temple
power or something.

It turns her into a monster

whenever there are intruders.

Intruders?

I would not want to...

Intrude.

You knew about the
temple guardian.

Of course. Ancient wisdom:

The worm realizes he is bait

only after the fish bites.

Yah! Whoa! Ohh!

Hyah! Yah! Yah!

Yah!

Ugh! Intruders!

Tell me you aren't doing
what I think you're doing.

Unh! Ugh!

Uncle Jackie?

(Growling)

Jade! Run!

No! Wrong way! Wrong way!

Xu-lin! Stop! That's my uncle.

He's to help you, too!

(Roars)

I don't think she wants my help!

Ah, yes.

Intriguing.

Jade: Oh!

Jade!

I'm ok. Help xu-lin!

Jade!

(Xu-lin moans)

Ancient wisdom:

The cornered rat finds peace...

In eternity.

The door!

Uncle Jackie, wait!

Ow!

I tried to tell you,
she's trapped here.

It's some kind of curse.

Ohh.

Leave me, Jade.
Escape while you can.

No! We're going to find a cure

or an antidote or something.

Right, uncle Jackie?

We will try.

Unh! Aah!

Jade, I'm changing.

No biggie.

Stay calm. Just try to remember,

I am your guest
and uncle Jackie...

He is invited.

Good girl!

No more palm blasting!

You think that is the only power

granted by the
scroll of hung-chao?

Haison! Haison! Haison!

Xu-lin, what happened
with the monster bit?

Go hulk already!

Too weak.

Huh? Unh!

Ancient wisdom: The
wise man never walks out

on free entertainment.

Hey! How come you
can leave the temple?

Xu-lin? Wake up! Wake up!

Get him, uncle Jackie!

Get who?

Jackie,

your hands! Look!

Huh?

No more palm blasting!

The inscriptions.

Give armor-boy a taste
of hung-chao mojo, quick!

No!

Xu-lin! Come on!

Ohh.

Both: Uh-oh.

(Roars)

No!

Fung dah! Fung dah!

Ruh! Fung dah! Fung dah!

(Monk straining)

Uncle Jackie,
the sun's coming up!

Good.

You don't understand.
The temple vanishes at Dawn,

and anyone inside goes with it.

How many crazy rules
does this temple have?

You go! I will save xu-lin!

Raah!

Come on!

It will not work.

The power of the temple
will not let me leave.

The armor...

It can leave the temple.

Yes!

Jackie: Whooaa!

(Coughing) Whew.

Noooo!

Heh. Easy come, easy go.

Oh, thank you for freeing me.

At least the scroll of
hung-chao is destroyed.

No one else will learn
its dangerous secret.

You know, I'll bet we could
redraw those inscriptions

on your hands.

I mean, it'd take a few tries...

Jade, playing with
magic is too dangerous.

I only hope to once
again see my parents

and have nothing more to
do with magic ever again!

Come on. Where's your
spirit of adventure, xu-lin?

Ancient wisdom:

Wise monkey knows when to
stifle spirit of adventure

and concentrate on schoolwork.

You just made that up.

No. It's old, very old.

Hey, Jackie, where did you
live when you were little?

After my father, for the living,

he had to go to Australia,
American embassy.

As soon as my father move,
then I have nowhere to live,

so they put me.
To the martial opera school.

Inside,
just like the movie called fame.

One thing's different is
we have to stay there.

We stay, live there, eat there.

Teach you how to dance,
how to kicking, punch,

somersault, acrobatic,
all kind of things.

School is very, very important.

Education is very,
very important.
