- [ Humming ]

Now, put these on.

Your public's waiting.

[ Continues ]

- [ChelGiggling]

- Doyou mind?

No.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

[ Giggles ]

Right. Uh, excuse me.

- [ Grunting ]

- Bye.

Mm-mm-mmm! Maybe they should call

this place "Chel Dorado."

[ Chuckles ]

She's whoo--

- Whoa, she's trouble! Wait a minute!

- What?

The little voice--

Remember the little voice?

Ju-Ju-Just for a second

imagine thatyou have one.

What would it be saying about Chel?

- [ Purrs ]

- No. No. Listen.

- We are partners.

- We are partners.

- We have a plan, remember?

- Get the gold. Go back to Spain.

Yes! And we are

pretending to be gods.

Now, put Chel in the mix.

What is the voice saying?

- Listen carefully.

- [ Gasps ]

- Chel is off-limits, hmm?

- Bravo! Chel is off-limits!

Shake on it.

- Off-limits. Mm. Mm.

- [ Both ] Mmmm.

Besides, we're supposed to be gods.

We must avoid

giving in to temptation.

- Gods. Oh. This is gonna be tougher than I thought.

- Tulio, relax!

All you have to do is smile,

act godly and follow my lead.

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ] Big smile.

Likeyou mean it.

A-one, two, three.

I hardly think I'm qualified

To come across all sanctified

I just don't cut it

with the cherubim

- [ Groaning ]

- Tulio, what areyou talking about?

There again they're on their knees

Being worshipped is a breeze

Which rather suits us in

- The interim

- Interim, interim It's me and him

Oh, myGod!

It's tough tobeagod

Tread where mortals have not trod

Be deifiedwhenreallyyou'reasham

Bean objectofdevotion

Be the subject ofpsalms

It's a rather touching notion

All those prayers and those salaams

And who am I to bridle

IfI'm forced to be an idol

Ifthey say that I'm a god

That's what I am

What's more ifwe don't comply

With the locals' wishes

Icansee usbeingsacrificed

- Orstuffed

- You have a point there. Very good thinking.

- So let's be gods The perks are great

- Yeah!

- El Dorado on our plates

- Thankyou.

Local feelings should not

- Be rebuffed

- Never rebuffed

I never rebuffa local feeling

No, my friend

It's tough to be a god

But ifyou get the people's nod

Countyour blessings

Yeah, keep 'em sweet

- That's our advice

- It's great advice!

Be a symbol ofperfection

Be a legend

Be a cult

Take their praise

Take a collection

As themultitudes exalt

Don a supernatural habit

- We'd be crazy not to grab it

- You got it!

So sign on two new gods

For paradise

Par-a-dise

- [Continues]

- [ Chattering, Laughing ]

- [ Drunken Whinnying ]

[ Fades, Ends ]

[ Both Snoring, Mumbling ]

- [ Metallic Clattering ]

- [ Both Gasping ]

Good morning, my lords!

- He's back!

- Oh, no.

And now it's my turn!

- The gods have awakened!

- [ Cheering ]

Whoa!

[ Groans ]

Mm-hmm.

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Whimpering ]

- Hey, Chel, what's going on?

- It's not gonna be good.

Thankyou.

This city has been granted

a great blessing.

And what have we done

to show our gratitude?

A meager celebration.

- The gods deserve a proper tribute!

- [ Crowd Gasping ]

- Hmm.

- Hmm.

The beginning ofa new era,

the dawning ofa new age...

demands...

sacrifice!

- [ All Gasping ]
