Video Clip: Mulan's Father Asks Mulan's Mother to Take Out His Military Armor

For the transformation scene, Mulan persuades her parents to allow her to go to the battlefield in place of her father. She promises that she will not regret it no matter how much hardship she has to face. Mulan's father is glad and thus asks Mulan’s mother to take out his military armor.

Our Translation	Translated by Christopher Rea
Mulan’s father: Good, Mulan’s mother, please take my military armor out and let Mulan try it on.	Mother, bring out my army uniform, and let her try it on.	木兰父：好，妈妈，去把我的军衣拿来，让她穿起来试试。
Mulan’s mother: I’m not going.	I’m not going to do that.	木兰母：我才不去呢。
Mulan’s father: Ok, I’m going to take that out.	Then I’ll go.	木兰父：那么我去。
