The Emperor's New Groove Page #6

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.

Look, there's 2 people

in there looking for you.

What?

A big guy

and a skinny old woman.

Wait. Was this woman

scary beyond all reason?

Oh, yeah.

That's Yzma and Kronk!

I'm saved!

Trust me, they're

not here to save you.

They'll take me back

to the palace.

Thanks for your help.

You've been great.

I can take it from here.

You don't understand.

They're trying to kill you.

Kill me? Their whole world

revolves around me.

No. I can't let you!

What? Wha--

Oh, I get it!

What?

You don't want to take me

back to the palace.

You want to keep me

stranded out here forever.

No!

This has all been an act,

and I almost fell for it.

Will you just

listen to me--

No, no,

you listen to me.

All you care about

is your stupid hilltop!

What?

You don't care about me.

Now, just get out of here.

- Go!

- But--

Go on! Get outta here!

Fine! Hmph!

Oh, this entire mess

is all your fault.

What'd I do?

If you hadn't mixed up

those poisons,

Kuzco would be dead now!

There'll be

no more diversions

until we track that

llama down and kill him!

Said I was sorry.

Can't just let it go.

Not even

on your birthday.

Yzma:

Kuzco must be eliminated

The empire will finally be

rid of that useless slug

Kronk:
You got a point

Nobody really seems to care

that he's gone, do they?

Pacha!

Kuzco:
Pacha?

[Sighs]

[Thundering]

[Thunder]

Kuzco:

So this is where you came in

See, just like I said,

I'm the victim here

I didn't do anything,

and they ruined my life

and took everything I had

Hey, give it a rest

up there, will you?

What? Im just telling

them what happened

Who you kidding, pal?

They saw the whole thing,

they know what happened.

Well, yeah, but

Just leave me alone.

[Snoring]

[Gasps]

The peasant at the diner!

He didn't pay his check.

[Snoring]

He's the peasant

who I saw leaving the city

who disappeared

into the crowd

with Kuzco

on the back of his cart.

He must have taken him

back to his village,

so if we find the village,

we find him,

and if we find him,

we find Kuzco.

Oh, yeah,

it's all comin' together.

Yzma!

What?!

Aah!

This had

better be good!

[Birds Chirping]

[Sighs]

[Sniffs]

[Gulp]

Yeech.

Pacha:
So, there we were

standing on the cliff,

and the ground

started to rumble

And just as

it started to go,

he grabbed me

before I fell

Do you believe that?

You know, call me crazy

for following this guy

all the way out here,

but as much

as he tries to deny it,

I know

there's some good in him

Besides, I couldn't just

leave him out here all alone.

He's a lousy llama.

I mean,

a really lousy llama.

Hey, listen, Pacha,

you know, what I said to you

back at the diner,

that--that--

I--I didn't really...

So...you tired of

being a llama?

[Sniffles]

Ye-ee-ee-es!

[Sniff]

Ok, we're just gonna

stop at the house

and get some supplies.

- Then we'll be on our way, right?

- Right.

Hey there, Pacha.

You just missed your relatives.

My relatives?

We just sent them

up to your house.

What did

they look like?

See, there was

this big guy

and this older woman

who was...

How would

you describe her?

Scary beyond all reason.

Yeah, that's it.

So, remind me again how

you're related to Pacha?

Why, I'm his

third cousin's brother's

wife's step-niece's

great-aunt. Heh heh.

Twice removed. [Sips]

Uh-huh.

Isn't that right, Kronk?

99 monkeys

jumpin' on the bed

One fell off

and bumped his head

You know, I am so sorry that

you had to come all this way,

but as I said to you before,

you may recall,

Pacha is not here.

I'll be sure and tell him

you came by.

Oh, would you, please?

That would be just great.

Oops. Silly me.

No, no. Allow me.

She's hiding something.

When I give the word,

we search the house.

Ok, but I still have

94 monkeys to go.

Grr!

So, while we're

waiting for Paca--

Pacha.

Oh, yes.

Perhaps we can have a tour

of your lovely home.

You know, why don't

you just come back

when Pacha gets home?

I'm sure he'd love

to show you the...

[Stammers]

Excuse me, won't you?

I think I left

something in the oven.

This is my variation

of double-dutch.

On the signal,

we switch places.

Kronk, it's time!

ok!

Ohh!

So, we have to get

back to the palace,

find the lab,

and change him back.

Hi there!

Aah!

- That was him.

- Whoops.

You know what?

I don't believe you're

really my great-aunt.

You're more like

my great-great-great...

Go. I'll stall them

long enough

for you two to get

a head start.

Thanks, honey.

You have a lovely wife.

They're both very pretty.

Great-great-

great...

Grr! All right!

Are you through?

...great-great-aunt.

So, where were we?

Listen, sister, we're

not leaving until--

I show you the house.

Of course.

Was it a good idea to leave

your family with those two?

Oh, don't worry.

They can handle themselves.

What do you mean,

the door is stuck?

Try jiggling the handle.

There is no handle

in here.

There's not?

Are you sure?

All right, I've had

enough of this.

Tell us where

the talking llama is

and we'll burn your house

to the ground.

Uh,

don't you mean "or"?

[Sighs] Tell us where

the talking llama is

or we'll burn your house

to the ground.

Well, which is it?

That seems like

a pretty crucial conjunction.

That's it!

Kronk, break the door down!

Break it down?

Are you kidding me?

This is hand-carved

mahogany.

I don't care, you fool.

Get out of my way.

I'll break it down myself.

Yzma:
A-one

Ok, kids,

you know what to do.

Right, Mom!

3!

Aah!

Ok, children,

on your mark,

get set, go!

[Giggling]

Ow! Ow! Stop it,

you little brats! Huh?

Yzma:
Ow!

Oh, there they go, Kronk!

They're getting away!

Ha ha ha! Well,

I had a great time.

Let's not wait until

the next family reunion

to get together.

Yzma:
Kronk!

I, uh, I gotta run.

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

Ok, why does she even

have that lever?

[Yelps]

Skull:

Please remain seated

and keep your arms and legs

in at all times

Aah!

Huh?

What does it look like?

I don't know.

Just keep looking.

Over here!

It has to be one of these.

Lions, tigers, bears...

Yzma:
Oh, my

Looking for this?

No! It can't be!

How did you get

back here before us?

Uh...how did we, Kronk?

Well, you got me.

By all accounts,

it doesn't make sense.

Oh, well,

back to business.

Ok, I admit it.

Maybe I wasn't as nice

as I should have been,

but, Yzma, do you

really want to kill me?

Just think of it

as you're being let go,

that your life's going

in a different direction,

that your body's part of

a permanent outplacement.

Hey, that's kind of like

what he said to you

when you got fired.

I know. It's called

a cruel irony--

like my dependence

on you.

I can't believe

this is happening!

Then I bet you weren't

expecting this

- No!

- Aah!

Aha!

[Sighs]

Oh, ok.

Ha ha!

Finish them off.

Kronk devil:
Hey, you're

not backing down now,

are you, big guy?

Uh, where's the other guy?

Yo!

Sorry I'm late.

So, what'd I miss?

Well, Yzma just
