Elton John: The Road to El Dorado Page #4

---

- [ Gasps ]

- I don't like this.

- Tulio, we've got to do something.

[ Groans ]

- [ Groaning ]

- [ Yells ]

[Tulio]Stop!

Hmm?

- This is not a proper tribute!

- [ Moaning ]

- [Crowd Gasps]

- You do not want the tribute?

No. No, no.

W-We want tribute.

Uh, it'sjust that, uh--

Tulio, tell him.

The stars are not in position

for this tribute!

Like he says, the stars--

Can't do it.

Not today.

Ah.

Perhaps it is possible

I misread... the heavens.

- Don't worry about it. To err

is human, to forgive-- - Hmm.

My lords, may the people of El Dorado

offeryou our tribute.

[Crowd Gasping]

[ Gasps ]

[Gasping Continues]

My lords, does this pleaseyou?

- [ Sighs ]

- Yes, very nice.

- Certainly acceptable.

- Yes, lovely. It'll do.

The gods have chosen!

To Xibalba?

- [CrowdMurmuring]

- No. No.

[ Together] To Xibalba!

- [Crowd Cheering]

- Oh, great.

[Cheering Continues]

Hey, Chel, um,

what are they doing?

They're sending it to Xibalba,

the spirit world.

- The spirit world.

- I'll take care ofit.

[ Clears Throat ]

Um, excuse me, Chief.

The gods have changed their minds

about Xibalba.

Theywish to bask in the reverence

that has been shown them.

Stop!

- [CrowdMurmuring]

- Theywish to bask!

Take the tribute to the gods' temple!

- [ Crowd Cheering ]

- [ Humming ]

Nice going.

[ Chuckles ]

Smile whileyou can.

Well, well, well,

whathave wehere?

[ Evil Chuckle ]

- [Tulio]Ai-ai-ai.

- Tons ofgold foryou, hah

- And tons ofgold for me, hoo

- [ Together] Tons ofgold forwe, ah

- Not bad for a day's work, eh?

- Not bad at all.

Wejust became richer

than the king ofSpain. [ Laughing ]

You know, speaking ofkings, the chief

and high priest seem a bit, uh, tense.

Buenos das!

Listen, all we have to do...

is keep playing

the one against the other.

You know, do a little god dance,

chant some mystic mumbojumbo,

dazzle 'em with some smoke and mirrors

and then get the hell back to Spain.

Um, Tulio, how are we gonna

get all this back to Spain?

Ummm--

- A boat?

- [Tulio] Yeah.

Um, we really hate

to be ascending so soon,

but, uh, some urgent business

has come up--

- family matters-- and it'sjust a bit--

- Yeah, family.

Badda-bing, budda-boom,

you know what I mean.

Oh, we expected you

to be staying with us...

for the next...

thousand years.

Well, as we say

in the spirit world,

- there's your plan and then...

there's the gods' plan. - Mm-hmm.

And our plan, uh, calls for a boat,

'cause we're gonna ascend...

- kind ofin a horizontal pattern at first.

- [ Chuckles ]

And then we're gonna go vertical,

uh, as we get further out to sea.

Hmm. To build a boat

large and glorious enough...

would take... about a week.

- A week? Hmm.

- Um--

I wonder how long it would take

Tzekel-Kan to do it.

But-- But for the gods,

uh, three days.

Uh--

Well, ifthat's the bestyou can do.

Oh, perhaps ifyou were not burdened

with so much tribute,

you could leave sooner.

- Hmm?

- Hmm? I like it here. Miguel?

Yep, yep.

Three days isjust fine.

- [Tulio]No, three days isnotfine.

- [ChelHumming]

- This is a real--

- Mmm.

- these-- these are the ones-- problem.

- Oh. Thankyou.

- Miguel, how are we gonna keep this up for three days?

- [ Yawns ]

You worry too much.

No, I worry exactly the right amount.

You can neverworry too much.

Wejust have to lie low.

But, Tulio, this place is amazing!

I mean, I wonderwhat's--

No! Don't even move!

- Tulio--

- You're moving!

- A little, but-- Come on.

- Hey! Hey! Hey!

- [ Stammering ] Stay!

- I gotta-- I--

- [ Groans ]Just... stand there!

- Ijust--

For three days?

- [Clatter]

- Yes! Exactly.

For three days.

Don't even breathe. All right?

All right.

We lie low.

No, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Promise?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, all right.

Great! Good. Okay.

- Now, ifyou'll excuse me, I have to gloat over my gold.

- [ Giggling ]

[ Kissing ]

Oh, yum, yum, yum.

[Kissing Continues]

- It's beautiful, isn't it?

- Yeah!

-You know, you really shouldn't miss it.

-I know.

But I-I couldn't.

Go ahead.

I'll cover foryou.

- Oh, good. Thanks.

- [Tulio Singing, Indistinct]

- So, what happened to Altivo?

- I don't know.

Tuliogoes forparadise

- Hey, what happened to Miguel?

- I don't know.

Oh, my God! He's gone!

Miguel's gone!

He's loose!

What am I gonna do?

Oh, no, no!

[Sobbing]

Oh, Miguel is right.

You worry too much.

[ Groaning ]

Oh. Ooh.

[ Moans ]

- Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, down, down, down.

- [ Humming ]

- No! No! Big trouble.

- [ Gasps ]

[Chuckling] Whoa!

Look, sweetheart,

we're in the middle ofa con here,

walking the razor's edge.

On the one hand, gold!

On the other hand,

painful, agonizing failure!

[ Clears Throat ] I can't afford

any tempta-- uh, distractions.

So, I'm sorry.

So sorry.

[ Sharp Inhale ] But perhaps

another time? Another place, hmm?

[ Chuckles ]

Too bad. I'm free now.

I'm... not really sure

I trustyou.

Mmm, I'm not really

asking you to trust me.

- Am I?

- Whoo.

'Kay.

[ Moans ]

Ooh, yeah.

[Chirping]

Excuse me.

Excuse me?

Hey, where is everybody?

They've been cleared

from the streets, my lord,

so the city can be cleansed,

as you ordered.

- Cleansed?

- Yes.

So the Age oftheJaguar can begin,

- as you ordered, my lord.

- [Man]Getback in!

- Where areyou going?

- Hey, stop that!

- [Guard]Move!

- Hey, stop that!

What areyou doing?

Stop that!

But, my lord,

anyone who disobeys your orders...

must be punished, as you ordered.

It seems I've been giving

a lot oforders, haven't I?

Tzekel-Kan has made

your commands clear, my lord.

Really?

- Here's an order: Take the day off.

- Huh?

- Areyou all right?

- [ Panting ]

- Here.

- [ Whimpers ]

Oh, no!

It's all right. Please.
