Quotes 

• Shang Tsung : Very clever. Playing dead.

  Kung Lao : Not as clever as this.

  [roundhouse kicks Shang Tsung] 

• Shao Kahn : He is worthless and weak. Finish him.

  Kung Lao : No. Listen to me. When the next tournament comes, remember what you saw here today. The people of Earth are not murderers. In respect of the Elder Gods and the laws of Mortal Kombat... I choose... mercy.

  Rayden : Nice speech.

  Shang Tsung : You should have killed me, Kung Lao.

• Rayden : Up at dawn. Filled with anger. Not much of a rest.

  Kung Lao : Someone is tormenting me.

  Rayden : Any suspects?

  Kung Lao : Someone or something is inside my head, turning all my thoughts to darkness.

  Rayden : There's no one inside your head, Kung Lao, no one but you. What you are seeing is no doubt a premonition of your future, a fate yet unwritten but clouded with fear.

  Kung Lao : Haven't I earned the right to just be happy for a change?

  Rayden : Shao Kahn has not been defeated. His claim to Earth has merely been postponed. What you have earned, Kung Lao, is the right to be a leader, to find and train a new generation of fighters to stand at your side in the next tournament. It is one path, Kung Lao, if you so choose. But remember, in Mortal Kombat, victory is not the end...

  Kung Lao : It's only the beginning. Why can't you teach the new fighters?

  Rayden : This is not my world. Not my responsibility. The key to Earth's victory lies in the human spirit.

  Kung Lao : So you want me to just turn away from everything. What about my dreams of happiness with Jen? Do you want me to give up my whole life?

  Rayden : There are rewards. The Elder Gods have granted you that you will not age another day until the next tournament.

  Kung Lao : Tell me, Rayden, would you rather be old and happy or young and cursed? If my future is unwritten like you say, then I'll write it the way I want it, from now on!
