[ All Gasping ]

- Loop the rope under the horse!

- Yes!

On the count ofthree,

pull back on the rope.

- What? [ Gasps ]

- Three!

- [ Tulio ] Pull!

- [ Grunting ]

Tulio!

Hey, it worked!

Did any ofthe supplies make it?

- Well, uh, yes and no.

- [CrunchingSound]

Ohhh, great!

Look on the positive side.

At least things can't get--

Excuse me.

Wereyou going to say "worse"?

- No. No.

- No? You're sure?

- Absolutely not. I've revised

the whole thing. - Okay, because--

- [ Tulio ] Yeah, we're at least in a rowboat.

- We're in a rowboat, exactly.

[ Miguel ]

You miss nothing.

[ Grunting, Groaning ]

- [ Grunting, Groaning Continue ]

[ Smacking Lips ]

[ All Sobbing ]

Tulio, didyoueverimagine

it wouldendlike this?

- The horse is a surprise.

- [ Nickers ]

Any... regrets?

Besides dying?

Yeah.

I never... had enough... gold.

My regret, besides dying, is...

our greatest adventure

is over before it began,

and no one will even remember us.

Well, ifit's

any consolation, Miguel,

you... made my life...

an adventure.

[ Sobbing ]

And ifit's any consolation,

Tulio, [ Sniffles ]

-you made my life... rich.

[ Scoffs, Sputters ]

[ Both Sobbing ]

[ Shuddering Gasp ]

[ Moans ]

- [ Gasps ] Is it?

- Hmm. [ Gasps ]

It is! It's-- It's--

It's-- It's-- It's--

[ Both ] It's land!

- [ Both Screaming ]

- [Whinnying]

All in favor ofgetting back

in the boat, say "aye."

- Aye! - Aye!

Go! - [ Nickers ]

Hey, Miguel!

Icouldusealittlehelp!

Miguel!

Hello!

Tulio!

We've done it!

- What's that? The map?

- It's all right here!

You still have the map?

The whistling rock!

The stream!

You kept the map, butyou couldn't grab

a little more food?

Even those mountains.

You said soyourself:

It could be possible.

And it is!

It really is... the map to El Dorado!

[ Panting ]

- You drank seawater, didn'tyou?

- Oh, come on!

I'm not coming on!

I wouldn't set foot in thatjungle

for a million pesetas!

- How about a hundred million?

- What?

I just thought that, after all,

since El Dorado is the city ofgold--

- What's your point?

- You know, dust, nuggets, bricks,

a temple ofgold whereyou can

pluck gold from the verywalls.

Butyoudon't want togo, solet's...

getback into theboat

androwback toSpain.

-After all, it worked so well last time.

-[ Gibberish ] Wait!

Mmm. Wait a minute.

New plan.

We find the city ofgold.

We take the gold,

- and then we go back to Spain.

- And buy Spain!

- Yeah!

- That's the spirit!

- Come on, Tulio. We'll follow that trail!

- What trail?

The trail that we blaze!

[ Nickers ]

That trail that we blaze!

- [ Mutters ]

- [ Whinnies ]

Oh, no, you don't.

Yeow! Your horse

bit me in the butt!

[ Both Gasping ]

Citizens, did I not predict

that the gods would come to us?

Hmm.

[ Chuckling ]

My lords, I am Tzekel-Kan,

your devoted high priest

and speaker for the gods.

Hey.

I am ChiefTannabok.

What names maywe call you?

- Huh? I am Miguel.

- [Murmuring]

- And I am Tulio.

- [Murmuring Continues]

And they call us Miguel and Tulio!

[Tzekel-Kan] Yourarrival

hasbeengreatlyanticipated.

My lords, how long

will you be staying in El Dorado?

- [ Whimpering ] - Aha! I seeyou've

captured this temple-robbing thief.

- How would you have us punish her?

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

My lord, I am not a thief.

See, the gods sent me a vision...

tobring them tribute

from the temple toguide them here.

My onlywish is to serve the gods.

- Release her, don'tya think?

- [Villagers Gasp]

- [ Grunts ]

- Then you will begin by returning this...

to its rightful place.

[ Chittering ]

- My lords, why now doyou choose to visit us?

- [ Scoffs ]

Enough!

You do not question... the gods!
