The Emperor's New Groove Page #4

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.

Mm-hmm.

I just think if you really

thought about it,

you'd decide

to build your home

on a different hilltop.

And why would I

do that?

Because...

deep down,

I think you'll realize

that you're forcing

an entire village

out of their homes

just for you.

And that's...

bad?

[Laughs]

Well, yeah.

Nobody's

that heartless.

Mmm.

Now take me back.

What?

Wait, wait.

How can you

be this way?

All you care about

is building your summer home

and filling it

with stuff for you.

Uh, yeah. Doh.

Me.

Everyone else

in the kingdom gets it.

You're the only one

that doesn't seem to be

with the program,

eh, Pacha?

You know what?

Someday, you're going

to wind up all alone,

and you'll have no one

to blame but yourself.

Thanks for that.

I'll log that away.

Now, for the final time,

I order you to take me

back to the palace.

Looks to me like

you're stuck out here,

because unless

you change your mind,

I'm not taking you back.

[Imitates] Because unless

you change your mind,

I'm not

taking you back.

Me, me, me.

Moo, moo, moo.

Huh? What?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't--

Somebody's

throwing stuff.

You going to build a fire

or what? What's going on?

[Sighs]

He's never going

to change his mind.

Ohh. How am I ever going

to get out of here?

[Muttering,

Shivering]

[Stops Shivering]

Yzma:
And so,

it is

with great sadness

that we mourn

the sudden departure

of our beloved prince...

[Sobbing]

taken from us

so tragically

on the very eve

of his 18th birthday.

Poor little guy.

His legacy will live on

in our hearts...

He never had

a chance.

for all eternity.

[Sniffles]

Well, he ain't gettin'

any deader.

Back to work.

[Blows]

Yzma:

Kronk, darlin',

I must admit

you had me worried

when you mixed up

those poisons,

but now that

Kuzco is dead,

all is forgiven.

Ah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

He's...

Heh. He's dead,

all right. Heh heh.

I mean, you can't get

much deader than he--

than he is right now.

Unless, of course,

we killed him again.

I suppose.

Hey, look,

the royal dresser's here.

Kronk...

I should tell you right now

I'm kind of hard to fit.

Kronk...

I wear a 66 long

and a 31 waist.

Kuzco is dead, right?

Tell me Kuzco's dead.

I need to hear

these words.

Do you need to hear

all those words exactly?

He's still alive?

Well, he's not as dead

as we would've hoped.

Kronk...

I just thought

I'd give you the heads-up

in case Kuzco

ever came back.

He can't come back!

Yeah. That would be

kind of awkward--

especially after

that lovely eulogy.

You think?

You and I are going out

to find him.

If he talks,

we are through!

Now let's move!

Dad, look out!

[Panting]

Tipo, what is it?

I had a dream that

Dad was tied to a log

and was careening

out of control

down a raging river

of death!

All right, all right,

it's ok.

- It was awful!

- Shh!

It's ok, it's ok.

Tipo, calm down.

It was just a dream.

Your dad's fine.

He just went back

to see the emperor.

Oh. Like you

told him to,

'cause you're

always right.

That's right.

Well, in my dream,

Dad had to kiss a llama.

Yeah, like that

would ever happen.

- It could.

- Nuh-uh.

- Yeah-huh.

- Nuh-uh.

Yeah-huh.

[Continue Bickering

Quickly]

Good night, you two.

- Night, Mom!

- Night, Mom!

- Yeah-huh. Yeah-huh.

- Nuh-uh. Nuh-uh.

[Screeching]

Ooh!

[Coughs]

B-B-Brr!

Kuzco:

Uh, hey

Thanks.

Oh.

No problem.

Feels like wool.

Yeah.

Alpaca?

Oh, yeah, it is.

Oh, yeah,

I thought so.

It's nice.

My wife made it.

Oh, she knits?

Crochets.

Crochets?

Nice.

Thanks.

[Ribbit]

[Ribbit Ribbit]

So...

So, I was thinking that

when I got back to the city,

we'd, uh...

I mean, there's

lots of hilltops,

and maybe I might,

you know...

I--I might...

Are you saying...

you've changed

your mind?

Oh, well, l--I...

Because you know

that means

you're doing something

nice for someone else.

No, I know that.

I know.

And you're all right

with that?

Yes.

What?

Don't shake

unless you mean it.

All right.

Let's get you

back to the palace.

Oh, by the way,

thanks.

No...

thank you

Pacha:
ok.

Once we cross this bridge,

it's only an hour

to the palace.

Kuzco:
Good, because

believe it or not,

I think I need a bath.

I believe it.

- What was that?

- Nothing.

Ohh!

Pacha:

Whoa!

Kuzco!

Pacha:
Kuzco!

- Yeah?

- Quick, help me up!

No. I don't think

I will.

You're going

to leave me here?

Well, I was going to have

you imprisoned for life,

but I kind of

like this better.

I thought you were

a changed man.

Oh, come on.

I had to say something

to get you to take me

back to the city.

So all of it

was a lie?

Well, yeah.

No, wait.

Uh, yeah, yeah.

It all was a lie.

Toodles.

We shook hands on it!

[Echoes]

You know, the funny thing

about shaking hands is...

you need hands.

Ha! ok.

Buh-bye.

Aah!

Are you ok?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah. I think

I'm all right.

Pacha:
Good!

That's for going back

on your promise!

Yii!

Yeah. That's for

kidnapping me

and taking me

to your village...

which I'm still gonna

destroy, by the way.

Ah ha ha ha!

No touchy.

Ooh!

Why did I risk my life

for a selfish brat

like you?

I was always taught that there

was some good in everyone,

but, ooh,

you proved me wrong.

Oh, boohoo.

Now I feel really bad.

Bad llama.

I could've let you die

out there in that jungle,

and then all my problems

would be over.

Well, that makes you

ugly and stupid.

Let's end this.

Ladies first.

- [Bell Dings]

- Aah! - Yaah!

[Both Grunting]

[Honks]

[Rope Snaps]

Ohh!

- Aah!

- Aah!

[Both Screaming]

- Ow! Ow!

- Ow! Ow!

- Whoa!

- Ohh!

[Alligators Roar]

Kuzco:
What are we

gonna do?

Aah!

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna die!

We're gonna die!

That's it for me!

Pacha:

No, we're not

Calm down.

I have an idea.

Give me your arm.

Ok, now

the other one.

When I say go,

push against my back,

and we'll walk

up the hill.

Ready?

Go.

Ow!

You did that

on purpose.

- Aah!

- No, I didn't!

Now, we're gonna have

to work together

to get out of this,

so follow my lead.

Ready?

- Right foot.

- Whose right?

Your right

or mine?

I don't care.

Mine.

Well, why yours?

Ok, your right!

Ready?

Ok, got it.

Ok, right.

Left. Right.

Ha ha!

Look, we're moving!

[Roar]

Aah!

Don't look down!

Now, stay with me.

Stay with me.

Right. Left.

Right. Left.

Right. Left.

Right!

Now what, genius?

Working on it.

Ok, here's the deal.

Stretch out your neck,

and I'll grab the rope.

How do I know

you won't let me fall

after you grab

the rope?

You're just gonna

have to trust me!

[Strains]

Kuzco:
You know,

it's a good thing

you're not

a big, fat guy,

or this would be

really difficult.

Kuzco:
Aah! Aah!

Almost.

Got it!

It's stuck.

Take your time.

No hurry here.

Scorpions!

Aah ha ha!

Kuzco!

Aah!

Oh, no!

Uhh!

Aah!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Kuzco:
Huh?

Aah!

Aah!

Whoa!

[Both Laugh]

- [Rumbling]

- Huh?

Look out!

Ohh!

Pacha:
Ohh
