The Emperor's New Groove Page #2

Synopsis: In this animated comedy from the folks at Disney, the vain and cocky Emperor Kuzco is a very busy man. Besides maintaining his "groove", and firing his suspicious administrator, Yzma; he's also planning to build a new waterpark just for himself for his birthday. However, this means destroying one of the villages in his kingdom. Meanwhile, Yzma is hatching a plan to get revenge and usurp the throne. But, in a botched assassination courtesy of Yzma's right-hand man, Kronk, Kuzco is magically transformed into a llama. Now, Kuzco finds himself the property of Pacha, a lowly llama herder whose home is ground zero for the water park. Upon discovering the llama's true self, Pacha offers to help resolve the Emperor's problem and regain his throne, only if he promises to move his water park.

Uh...your pool?

Boo-yah!

Welcome to

Kuzcotopia,

my ultimate

summer getaway

complete

with water slide.

What?

Isn't it great?

It's my birthday gift

to me. Ha!

I'm so happy.

Uh...uh...

um...l don't understand

how this could happen.

Well, let me

clear it up for you.

At my birthday

celebration tomorrow,

I give the word,

and your town

will be destroyed

to make way for this...

[Hums Carnival Tune]

So, if I were you,

I'd pick up some

change-of-address forms

on the way home.

But, um,

where will we live?

Hmm...

Don't know,

don't care.

How's that?

Oh, but wait.

You can't--

When I give the word,

your little town thingy

will be bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

Oh, w--wait. No--

Heh heh. Boohoo.

Kuzco:
Oh, yeah

Everything was goin' my way

Kuzco:
Or so I thought

He can't get rid of me

that easily.

Who does that ungrateful

little worm think he is?

Does he...

A little to the left.

...have any idea of

who he's dealing with?

How could he

do this to me?

Why, I practically

raised him.

Yeah, you think he

would've turned out better.

Yeah, go figure.

Well, it's better you're

takin' out your anger

on these things instead

of the real Kuzco, huh?

[Gasps]

That's it, Kronk!

- That's it!

- [Crash]

I'll get rid of Kuzco.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The real Kuzco?

Of course

the real Kuzco.

Don't you see?

It's perfect.

With him out of the way

and no heir to the throne,

I'll take over

and rule the empire.

Brilliant!

So how does that work

with you bein' fired

and all?

The only ones who know

about that are the three of us,

soon to be the two of us.

And I'm one of

those two, right?

To the secret lab!

Pull the lever, Kronk.

Yzma:
Wrong lever!

[Splash]

Huh?

Why do we even

have that lever?

[Yelps]

Get out of my way!

Skull:
Please remain seated

and keep your arms and legs

in at all times

Yzma:
Whee!

Kronk:
Faster, faster!

Yzma, put your hands

in the air!

Kronk:
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Ah, how shall I do it?

Oh, I know.

Yzma:
I'll turn him

into a flea,

a harmless little flea,

and then I'll

put that flea in a box,

and then I'll put that box

inside of another box,

and then I'll

mail that box to myself,

and when it arrives,

Ah ha ha ha!

I'll smash it

with a hammer!

It's brilliant, brilliant,

brilliant, I tell you!

Genius, I say!

Or, to save on postage,

I'll just poison him

with this.

Take it, Kronk.

Oh ho ho ho.

Feel the power.

Oh...

I can feel it.

Our moment of

triumph approaches.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

It's dinner time.

So...is everything

ready for tonight?

Oh, yeah. I thought

we'd start off

with soup

and a light salad

and then see how

we feel after that.

Not the dinner...

The you know.

Oh, right.

The poison--

The poison for Kuzco,

the poison chosen

specially to kill Kuzco,

Kuzco's poison.

That poison?

Yes! That poison.

Got you covered.

Excellent.

A few drops in his drink,

then I'll propose a toast,

and he will be dead

before dessert.

Which is a real shame,

because it's gonna

be delicious.

[Door Bangs Open]

Boom, bam, baby!

Kuzco:
Let's

get to the grub

I am one hungry

king of the world.

So...no hard feelings

about being let go?

None whatsoever.

Kronk, get

the emperor a drink.

Drink. Right.

[Pouring Drink]

[Opening

Poison Stopper]

[Pours Poison in Drink]

[Explosion]

Your Highness.

[Sniffs]

Is something burning?

[Gasps]

My spinach puffs!

[Twangs Fork]

Ahem.

So... he seems...

nice.

Heh. He is.

He's what,

in his late twenties?

Heh heh. I'm not sure.

Saved 'em!

- That's great.

- Yzma:
Great!

- Good job.

- Very good job.

Watch it.

They're still hot.

Ahem.

Ahem!

Heh heh heh.

Kronk.

The emperor

needs his...

drink.

Right. Oh. Right.

Hey, Kronky,

everything ok back there?

Well, heh.

Oh, uh...

Ooh. The drinks

were a bit on the...

hmm...

oh...ugh...warm side.

Heh heh.

Hey, did you see

that sky today?

Talk about blue.

Ha ha ha.

Yes, Kronk.

Riveting.

A toast to

the emperor!

Long live Kuzco!

[Under His Breath]

Don't drink the wine.

[Coughing] Poison.

Ah! Tasty.

Yzma:
Finally!

Ha ha ha!

Good work,

Kronk.

Oh, they're

so easy to make.

I'll get you

the recipe.

Now to get rid

of the body.

Ok! What were we saying?

Uh...we were

just making a toast

Yzma:

to your long and

healthy rule

Right. So what

are you gonna do?

I mean, you've been

around here a long time,

and I really mean

a long time. Um...

Ahem. [Humming]

Kuzco:
It might

be difficult

for someone of your age

adjusting to life

in the private sector.

Hey, Kronk, can you

top me off, pal?

Be a friend? Heh heh.

[Yzma Muttering]

Kuzco:
Now, about you

finding new work

Hit him on the head.

that's--that's

gonna be tough

More broccoli?

Because you're

you know

Let's face it

You're no spring chicken,

and I mean that

in the best possible way.

What? A llama?

He's supposed

to be dead!

Yeah, weird.

Let me see that vial.

This isn't poison.

This is extract

of llama. Ugh!

You know,

in my defense,

your poisons

all look alike.

You might

think about

re labeling

some of them.

Take him out of town

and finish the job now!

What about dinner?

Kronk, this is

kind of important.

How about dessert?

Well, I suppose

there's time for dessert.

And coffee?

All right.

A quick cup of coffee.

Then take him out of town

and finish the job!

[Kronk Singing

Jazz Scat]

Kronk:
Cha cha

cha cha

Kuzco:
Guess where I am

right now

Uh-huh. In the bag

Still think I'm

not the victim here?

Watch. It gets better.

Hey! Ba-da ba-da

ba-da-da

Kuzco:
Ugh, he's doing

his own theme music?

[Holds Note]

Ba-da

ba-da ba-da ba

Ba-da-ba

Kuzco:
Gig, dumb,

and tone deaf

I am so glad I was

unconscious for all of this

Kronk:
Huhh!

Mission accomplished.

Kronk angel:
You're not

just gonna let him

die like that,

are you?

My shoulder angel.

Kronk devil:
Don't

listen to that guy

He's trying

to lead you

down the path

of righteousness.

I'm gonna lead you

down the path that rocks.

Oh, come off it.

You come off it!

- You.

- You.

- You.

- You infinity.

Uhh!

Listen up, big guy.

I got 3 good reasons why

you should just walk away.

" Number one..."

Look at that guy!

He's got that sissy

stringy music thing.

We've been

through this.

It's a harp,

and you know it.

Oh, right.

That's a harp...

and that's a dress.

Robe!

Reason number 2.

Look what

I can do.

Ha ha ha!

But... what does that

have to do with anything?

No, no.

He's got a point.

Listen, you guys.

You're sort of confusing me,

so be gone!

Uh, or, uh, you know.

However I get rid

of you guys.

That'll work.

Kuzco:
Um, what's with

the chimp and the bug?

Can we get back tome?

Oh, boy.

Think, think, think.

What to do, what to do?

What do we do

with the body?

[Sighs]

What am I gonna

tell the village?

Come on, Kronky.

Come on, Kronky. ok.

Kronk:
What do I

do? What do I do?

- Aah!

- [Mrreoww]

Kronk:
Back!

Elbow! Shoulder!

- Unh!

- [Meow]

[Gasps]

Oh. Hey! Hey, you!
