The Emperor's New Groove Page #5

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.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Ooh, look at me

and my bad self.

I snatched you

right out of the air.

"Ooh, I'm

a crumbly canyon wall,

and I'm taking you

with me."

Well, not today, pal.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Kuzco:
Uh-huh

You just saved my life.

Huh?

So?

- I knew it.

- Knew what?

That there is some good

in you after all.

- Kuzco:
Oh, no

- Admit it.

- Wrong.

- Yes, there is.

- Nuh-uh.

- I think there is.

- Hey, you could've let me fall.

- Nuh-uh!

Come on,

what's the big deal?

Nobody's that heartless.

[Gasps]

Don't read

too much into it.

It was a one-time thing.

Right. Sure.

Well, we better get going.

With that bridge out,

it's a 4-daywalk

to the palace.

What?

You mean you're still

taking me back?

I shook on it,

didn't I?

Well, yeah,

but I hope you realize

that doesn't

change a thing.

I'm still building

Kuzcotopia

when I get back.

Well, 4 days

is a long time.

Who knows? Maybe

you'll change your mind.

Uh-huh.

4 days.

What are the chances

of you carrying me?

Not good.

Yzma:
No, no, no!

We've searched

every village

surrounding the palace

and still

no sign of Kuzco.

Where is he?

Kronk!

Kronk here.

I'm getting tired.

Pull over.

Sure thing.

Kronk out.

Ooh! Aah!

Aah! Ohh!

[Straining]

Perfect.

These are my best shoes.

I hate this jungle.

[Insects Buzzing]

Oh, look.

A golden-throated

small-winged warbler.

Just one more

for exotic bird bingo.

Aah!

I am loving this.

[Gasps]

[Chatters]

Get away from me!

Yzma:
Uhh

[Chatters]

Yeah.

Tell me about it.

[Chatters]

No, no,

it's not you.

She's not the easiest

person to get close to.

There's a wall there.

Trust me.

Are you talking

to that squirrel?

I was a junior chipmunk.

I had to be versed in

all the woodland creatures.

Please continue.

[Chatters]

Aah!

Why me?

Why me?

Hey, it doesn't always

have to be about you.

This poor little guy

has had it rough.

Seems a talking llama

Kronk:
gave him a hard

time the other day

Oh, a talking llama?

Ha ha ha ha!

Do tell.

Heh heh heh heh!

[Chatters]

Uh, he doesn't really

want to talk to you.

Well, then

you ask him.

[Sighs]

I hate being

in the middle.

Squeaky, uh...

squeak, squeaker,

squeakin'.

[Chatters]

Aah!

Jaguars? No kidding?

Brutal.

[Chattering]

[Stops Chattering]

Uh, could you give us

a little room here?

Uh, sorry.

Uh-uh.

A little bit more,

please.

How is this?

- [Chatters]

- Yeah, that's good.

Now ask him which way

the talking llama went!

Uh, squeakity-squeak,

squeakin'.

[Chatters]

Low blood sugar, huh?

Yeah.

It's a curse. Ha.

Well, as soon as we get

something to eat,

you're walking

the rest of the way.

[Sighs]

Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut,

home of the mug...

[Giggles]

...of meat.

What'll it be?

Ahem. We'll have

2 specials.

Is that all right,

dear?

Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin.

You know what I like.

Hee hee hee. We're

on our honeymoon.

Bless you for

coming out in public.

So that's 2 specials.

And an onion log.

To split.

[Giggles]

Ordering!

I need 2 heartburns

and a deep-fried doorstop

on table 1 2!

[Laughing]

Pacha:
Ok, so I'll admit

this was a good idea.

When will you learn that

all my ideas are good ones?

That's funny,

because I thought you going

into the jungle by yourself,

being chased by jaguars,

lying to me to take you

back to the palace

were all really bad ideas.

Anything sounds bad when

you say it with that attitude.

Hot and crispy pill bug

for the happy couple.

Mazeltov

[Sniffs]

[Splort]

Oh, boy.

[Slurping]

Ooh. Ugh. Bluh.

Urp!

Pacha:
Oh, here

Let me get that for you

Bleaggh! Uck!

Where are you going?

I'm just going to slip

into the kitchen

and have a word

with the chef.

You're gonna get us

thrown out.

Please.

With this disguise,

I'm invisible.

Heh heh!

We've been walking

around in circles

for who knows how long.

That is the last time

we take directions

from a squirrel.

I should have done away

with Kuzco myself

when I had the chance.

[Coughing]

Oh, you really gotta stop

beating yourself up about that.

[Squeak]

Kronk:
Uh-oh I'll get you

another one there, Yzma

[Gasps]

You using

that fork there, pal?

Hey, don't I know you?

I don't think so.

Wrestled you

in high school?

Don't remember that.

Metal shop? I got it!

Miss Narca's interpretive

dance--2 semesters.

I was usually in the back

because of my weak ankles.

Come on, pal.

You gotta help me out here.

I don't think

we've ever met,

but I gotta go.

Don't worry.

I'll think of it.

Look, all I know is

the food looked iffy.

I'm not the only one

that thinks that, I'm sure.

Psst! Hey!

So I'm just

checking to make sure

you're going to take

the main course up a notch.

Is there anything

on this menu

that is not

swimming in gravy?

Hang on.

I'll go ask the chef.

It's a simple

question.

Is there or is there

not anything edible...

- on this menu?

- Gah!

[Gasps]

Hey, I didn't ask him

about dessert yet!

Hey, pal, what's your policy

on making special orders?

All right, buster,

that's it!

You want a special order,

then you make it!

I quit!

Yeah, but l--

I try and I try,

but there's no respect

for anyone with vision.

That's it!

There's just nothing

I can do about it!

Please don't go.

3 pork combos,

extra bacon on the side,

2 chili cheese

samplers,

a basket of

liver and onion rings,

a catch of the day,

and a steak cut

in the shape of a trout.

You got all that, honey?

3 oinkers wearing pants,

plate of hot air,

basket of

grandma's breakfast,

and change the bull

to a gill, got it.

What's going on?

No time to explain.

We gotta get out of here.

What is he

doing in there?

Unh! Come on!

In a minute.

I'm still hungry.

No, Kuzco!

Ok, I'll make it simple

for you.

I'll have a spinach omelet

with wheat toast.

- You got it?

- Can do.

What's taking so long?

Pickup!

Kronk!

What are you doing?

Kinda busy here.

Yzma:
Why am I

not surprised?

Your order's up!

Ohh!

Oh, well,

while you're at it,

make me the special.

And hold the gravy!

Check. Pickup!

You know what?

On second thought,

make my omelet

a meat pie.

Kronk:

Meat pie Check

Kronk!

[Screech]

Can I order the potatoes

as a side dish?

I'll have to charge you

full price.

Ooh!

Hey, how about a side

of potatoes, my buddy?

You got it. Want cheese

on those potatoes?

Thank you, Kronk.

Cheddar will be fine.

Cheddar spuds

coming up.

Spuds yes,

cheese no.

Hold the cheese.

Yzma:
No, I want

the cheese

Cheese me

no like.

- Cheese out.

- Cheese in!

Come on,

make up your mind!

Ok, ok,

on second thought...

Both:
Make

my potatoes a salad.

- [Slurp]

- [Slurp]

Excuse me. You see

that woman over there?

[Mumbling]

No problem, hon.

We do that all the time.

Waiters:
1, 2, 3, 4

Happy, happy birthday

From all of us to you

We wish

it was our birthday

So we could party, too

Happy, happy birthday

May all your dreams

come true

Ha ha ha!

It's your birthday?

[Grunting]

What are you doing?
