"And finally, our friendship has been a port of comfort in the storm of life."

Sincerely, Milton D. Krupnick.

Wow.

You really take this whole yearbook signing thing seriously, don't you?

Yeah. I can't wait to see what you wrote in mine.

"Take care."

I wasn't finished.

"Take care...

dude."

Guys! Guys!

The letter from the Otai Academy came in.

It's the greatest martial arts academy in the world.

I'm either in or out.

I'm so nervous.

- I can't open it. - Oh, I will.

Ooh.

Huh.

Mm-hm.

Both: well?

Mm-hm.

(slurps)

I'm in.

I'm in!

Yeah!

Wow.

So you and Jerry are leaving.

Wait, where's Jerry going?

Oh, the Seaford Animal Park is sending him to Kenya

for a research project.

He's gonna live with a family of baboons.

Why'd they pick him?

(groans)

Oh, yeah.

That was a good nap.

That is why they picked him.

- I'm gonna go tell Rudy about Otai. - Mm-hm.

Wow.

I can't believe everyone is moving away.

Hey, when do we tell the guys we're moving to Washington, DC

to work as spies?

We can't, remember? That would only put them in danger.

All we can say is that we both got scholarships

to the Biltmore Academy, okay?

(Jerry screams)

- (yelling) - We got a baboon on the loose.

Baboon on the loose!

Stand back. Stand back. I'm gonna tranq him.

- No, Joan. He's not. No-- - Don't do that. No, no--

- (Jerry screams) - Got him.

(thuds)

Looks like you're all going your separate ways.

I promised I wouldn't cry.

Rudy, you've been crying for two days.

(sobbing) You know me so well.

The, uh, important thing is...

we'll always be connected by the Wasabi code.

You know what?

I'm gonna tell you guys the story of the first Wasabi Warriors

and how the code came to be.

(groans)

Rudy, is this gonna be another one of your long-winded--

- (blows) - (coughs)

"Long ago, on the other side of the world

stood the temple of Wasabi,

where great masters developed a peaceful martial art

called the Wasabi Way.

Rudy: The dragon's eye, a magical stone,

shined bright over the village

and brought peace to the land.

But then, a gang called the Black Dragons led by an evil master

invaded the temple and stole the dragon's eye.

Darkness fell over the land.

The town of Wasabi lived in fear

until a stranger came to the village and changed everything."

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Bamboo boarding is against the law, fella.

Read the sign.

Jack: "By decree of the Black Dragons,

no fun is permitted in the village of Wasabi."

Mm-hm. You, my friend are getting a ticket.

(sighs)

(chuckles) I just love writing these things.

- So you're having fun? - Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

I could do this--

Holy hand-roll.

Now, I gotta ticket myself.

And it's my third one, so it's off to jail with me.

Here we go.

Now, we can do this the easy way,

or we can do it the hard.

(Joan grunts) That's police brutality!

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is the exact dragon

that will be performing at the festival for the Black Dragons

tonight at the temple!

All: Yay.

Whoo, tough village.

Scratch, claw, hiss, and fire!

Fire!

I said "fire"!

(crowd cheers)

I hate this village.

Staffs: Hello!

Hey, where is my sushi?

I've been waiting for half an hour.

You have to be very careful

when you're working with the blue-tailed porcupine fish.

They have shooting quills that contain venom.

(air whooshes)

The venom works instantly!

- (Phil screams) - Staffs: Hello!

Oh!

Thank you.

I'm Kim-Yee.

It's an honor, pretty lady.

My name is Jack-Hai.

But you can call me the mysterious stranger,

the lone wolf,

he who walks the righteous path--

Yeah, I'm going with Jack-Hai.

I don't have any money.

Do you think they'd let me wash dishes here for food?

(both chuckle)

He thinks Phil washes the dishes.

(chimes)

(yells) Hey, hi. What's up?

Oh, great.

Frank-Foo is gonna make up another one of his fake Black Dragon taxes.

Time to pay your "sitting around looking dumb in the sushi restaurant" tax.

Oh, no, this one's legit, yo.

There's my little Black Dragon.

I, uh, stayed up all night making you this origami swan.

Aw, I'll treasure it forever. (chuckles)

I said pay up.

Hey, who is that guy?

His name is Frank-Foo.

He collects the fake taxes for the Black Dragons.

And he's gonna marry Kim-Yee.

- Him? - Yeah.

Pay up, losers.

They're not paying.

Oh, really?

(grunts)

You should not do that thing you just did probably.

Dude, you really gotta work on that catchphrase.

(both grunting)

Mil-tong, he's using martial arts.

That's against the law.

(giggles) Yeah, it is.

(grunting)

In a second, this place is gonna be crawling with Black Dragons.

(blows)

(blowing air)

(blows)

Oh, I got you, Frank-Foo.

(whistles)

Oh, really Jerry-Cong? Really?

Jack-Hai, you gotta get out of here.

(tense music)

This rickshaw is top of the line.

It's even got a new feature,

a pouch you can keep your wig in.

It's called a "driver-side hair-bag."

Jerry-Cong, Mil-Tong, you're late for training.

(whispers) Come on.

(pants)

Rudi-Kai, we saw a stranger doing something crazy at Sushi Phil's.

Ordering seconds?

Not that crazy.

No, his name was Jack-Hai,

and he kicked Frank-Foo's butt using martial arts.

Where did he go?

Oh, he ran off.

He's probably a million miles from here.

Or that could be him right here on the mat.

- Hey. - Guys, you gotta hide me.

There's a crazy lady after me.

(Joan imitating siren wailing)

(wailing stops)

Ha!

Have you seen that boy that used karate?

All: no.

Oh, really?

Then what happened with your wall back there?

- What, that? - Uh-huh.

(stammers) That's just our new...

hole.

We just had it put in.

It's the latest in-home ventilation.

All right. Well, if you see him, let me know.

You know, the Black Dragons put a price on his head,

and mama wants to get one of those fancy new holes.

Hey, thanks for hiding me.

Wow, it's been a while since I've seen one of these.

(exhales)

(grunting)

That was a Wasabi move.

How do you know the Wasabi Way?

My grandfather taught me before the Black Dragons banished him

and destroyed my village.

That's why we have to keep this dojo a secret.

I'm teaching them the Wasabi Way.

You should stay and train with us.

With your help, we could defeat the Black Dragons.

Sorry, guys. I'm better off alone.

If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

Jack-Hai...

Many reeds together are unbreakable.

But a single reed breaks easily.

It breaks easily.

It breaks easily.

(exhales)

Stupid unbreakable reed!

I weakened it for you.

My point is...

there's nothing stronger than family.

My grandfather said the same thing about family.

Look where it got him.

I gotta go.

The Black Dragons will be looking for you,

so take the old path through the cherry blossom trees.

And if you change your mind,

I'll be training them to become warriors

so one day, we can end the rule of the Black Dragons.

- Ow! - Aah!

Sadly, I probably won't live to see that day.

(light music)

Oh, thanks for the wake-up call, guys,

but I'm gonna snooze for another five.

Or I could just get up now.

(grunting)

(groans)

Hey, take it easy. I don't know what your game is,

but I'm both confused and very interested.

I'm helping you escape.

But aren't you a Black Dragon, engaged to Frank?

Not by choice.

I mean, the Black Dragons threatened to harm my family

if I didn't agree to marry him.

Well, that's great.

Uh, that means you're not really interested in Frank,

which means that...

(mumbles)

The whole family thing's a real bummer.

How'd you learn to fight like that?

For the past two years,

I've been locked up in the Black Dragon's temple.

The only thing for me to do is either karate or the dishes.

(both grunt)

And I really hate doing the dishes.

Look, the Black Dragons are after you,

and they know that Rudi-Kai was hiding you.

I'm gonna help you get out of town.

Wait, that means Rudi-Kai and the guys are in trouble.

They protected me. I can't leave.

I need to make sure they're okay.

(grunts)

I also hate doing the dishes.

Guys!

We're too late.

The Black Dragons destroyed the place.

(Mil-Tong and Jerry-Cong groaning)

Hey.

(yells)

I mean, what it do, girl?

What is she doing here?

It's okay, guys. She saved me. What happened?

Rudi-Kai didn't tell them anything about you,

but when they found the dojo,

they arrested him for illegally teaching the Wasabi Way.

Tonight at the end of the Dragon festival,

they're gonna throw Rudi-Kai into the bottomless pit.

Rudi-Kai's family.

We have to go save him, Mil-Tong.

Then I'm going with you.

Well, if you're going, I'm going.

Well, if she's going, we're going.

We were already going.

Oh, great. That just leaves you, Jack. You want to go?

Villagers aren't allowed at the Dragon festival.

How are we gonna sneak into the temple unnoticed?

Bobby: Hello, dragon. We're dancing.

We're circling. We're mean.

I have an idea.

(light music)

Stop it.

No.

Stop it. (giggles)

Stop.

(chuckles)

Jack-Hai: All right, guys.

So we'll just dance right over to the bottomless pit,

I'll slip out, untie Rudi-Kai,

and then we'll all just dragon dance right out of here.

Okay, cool. Good.

And now...

Famed drummer Mai-Jam!

Oh, yeah! That's Mai-Jam!

You're embarrassing me, honeybun.

Now, go inside and be a good girl and do the dishes.

(grunts)

Wedding's off.

They're here to save Rudi-Kai.

Cut the rope!

(yelps)

(Rudi-Kai yells)

Jack-Hai, you saved my life.

Come on, guys.

Oh.

I am the Dark Master.

He is the Dark Master.

Leader of all that is evil.

Leader of all that is--

Frank!

We talked about this.

Sorry.

(clears throat)

Dark Master: You are the last practitioners of the Wasabi Way,

and when I destroy you, I will destroy the Wasabi Way forever.

It's not gonna happen.

(thuds)

Looks like it might happen.

(shouts)

(grunting)

(groans)

(grunting)

Holy Chinese New Year nuts!

(grunts)

We're getting crushed out there.

The dragon's eye makes him too powerful.

Guys, there's only one thing that's stronger than the dragon's eye.

Family.

If it weren't for you guys,

I would have been the one hanging over the bottomless pit.

I wouldn't have been crying like a baby.

Hey, it's really scary when you're up there.

What I'm trying to say is we really are stronger together.

I have a plan, but I'm gonna need all of you.

You can't hide forever, so come out.

Seriously, come out. I've got a massage at 4:00,

and it's too late to get my money back.

(Kim-Yee grunts)

(grunting)

(suspenseful music)

Now!

(groans)

From this day forward,

let's swear by the light of the dragon's eye

to be loyal and honest and never say die.

All: Wasabi!

Rudy: "And thanks to those first Wasabi warriors...

peace was restored to the land."

(gasps)

Oh!

What? What? Oh, my... (gasps)

(Joan grunts)

Rudy: "And under the cherry blossom tree,

Jack-Hai and Kim-Yee

discovered a love that would last an eternity."

Whoa.

Wow.

Rudy, that was an amazing story.

I can't believe we're carrying on a 2,000-year-old tradition.

And no matter where life takes us,

we'll always be connected by the Wasabi code.

Yeah.

One final Wasabi?

All: Wasabi!

I should probably get going.

Yeah, I still have to get a bunch of shots,

so the monkeys don't catch anything from me.

Guys.

I'll never forget you.

(soft chuckles)

(Rudy chuckling)

- Bye. - Jerry: Bye, Rudy.

- Jack: See ya. - Milton: Bye, Rudy.

See you, jack.

See you, buddy.

(exhales sharply)

I'm gonna miss this place.

Man, we're all gonna miss this place.

You guys think Rudy's gonna be okay without us?

Here we go, guys.

And... Hup.

I think he's gonna be just fine.

(car horn honks)

Oh.

Looks like my ride's here.

I love you, guys.

(monkey screeches)

Yo!

What it do, Coco?

- (chuckles) - Uh...

Milton, could you give us a minute?

Why would you and Kim need a minute?

Oh.

Oh...

- Oh! - Both: Milton.

Okay.

You know, Jack,

they say you never forget your first love.

And I know I never will.

Remember what Rudy said.

No matter where we go,

we'll always be connected.

(smooches)

(both chuckling softly)

- Oh. - (laughs)

Look.

Cherry blossom petals.

When you look at it...

think of me.

(sighs)

All right, guys.

Time to go to Washington and get your spy on.

Jack, you ready for this?

The world's not gonna save itself.

- Your ride's here. - (helicopter droning)

- Whoa. - Whoo-hoo. It's a...

Go.

We came to this dojo as boys...

And we're leaving as men!

(thuds)

Milton: I'm okay.

Jack, I'll meet you there.

(closing theme music)

Man: Poor soul.

(dog snarls, barks)

Boy: Yes!
