Long: Din!
[looks around in confusion]
Long: Whats happening?
Pipa God: Welcome Longzhu.
Long: What's going on? Where am I?
Pipa God: Congratulations! Your service as a Wish Dragon is complete.
Long: Complete? But I haven't finished, I haven't finished my tenth master!
Pipa God: You have put the needs of another before yourself, and shown us that you understand the meaning of life. You are now free to enter the spirit world
[Spirite world doors open and trumpets sound and confetti sticks to Long]
Long: Is that... a parade?
[Smiles]
Pipa God: In your honor.
Long: No no no! I can't! I have to go back!
Pipa God: Back?
Long: Turn me back into a Wish Dragon, I have one more wish to grant!
Pipa God: Th-that's ridiculous, the laws of heaven forbid it.
Long: You're ridiculous! You're an old man in a skirt!
Pipa God: This isn't a skirt!
Long: Send me back!
Pipa God: [Pipa God plays his instrument and the doors to the spirit world close and the parade disappears behind them] You dare reject the will of the Gods?
Long: Fine, if you won't send me back, I'll do it myself!
[Starts digging into the clouds]
Pipa God: Stop that!
Long: [Continues to dig into the clouds] Stupid clouds! Ah!
Pipa God: Stop! Stop that this instant!
Long: Ah! My friend needs me!
Pipa God: Fine! We will permit you to return, but only under one condition.
