The Emperor's New Groove Page #7

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.

tossed me this knife

and asked me to,

you know, take them out.

Then this guy popped up

and we waited for you,

and quite honestly--

Kronk! Why did I think

you could do this?

This one simple thing.

It's like I'm talking

to a monkey.

Whoa now.

A really, really big

stupid monkey named Kronk!

Ouch.

And do you want

to know something else?

I've never liked

your spinach puffs.

Never!

[Sobs]

That's it.

She's going down.

Now, now,

remember, guys.

From above, the wicked shall

receive their just reward.

All:
That'll work.

Strange.

That usually works.

And so does this!

Ah. Should have

seen that coming.

Whoa!

Aah!

Give me that vial!

Oof!.

Ah! Ha ha!

Aah!

Oops. Clumsy me.

Yzma:

Which one? Which one?

[Alarm Sounds]

Better hurry

I'm expecting company

Yzma:
Kill them!

They murdered the emperor!

No, wait! I'm the emperor!

It's me--Kuzco!

They're not

listening to me!

Just take 'em all!

- Yaah!

- Yaah!

Get them!

Hey, I've been

turned into a cow.

Can I go home?

You're excused.

Anyone else?

All:
No, we're good.

Get them!

We've gotta change you back.

Try this one.

Uh, Pacha?

A little help!

[Screech]

[Yelling]

Come on!

Come on!

Kuzco:
Aah!

Oh, please be

something with wings.

Yeah! We're flyin'!

Uh-oh!

[Guards Yelling]

We're not getting anywhere

with you picking the vials.

I'm picking the next one!

Fine by me!

Give me that one!

Don't you say a word.

- Aah!

- Aah!

Quick!

Drain the canals!

Pacha:
Open up!

Yay! I'm a llama again!

Wait...

[Blorp]

- Aah!

- Aah!

There they go!

After them!

Come on, men!

Nobody lives forever! Charge!

Guards:
Aah!

Grr!

Aah!

Ok, only 2 left. It's

gotta be one of these.

No!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Meow.

I'll take that.

This is the one. This'll

change you back to a human.

Ow! Hey, get her off!.

Whoa!

Kuzco:
Get her off me!

[Yzma Snarling]

Aah! Ow!

[Groans]

Drink the potion!

Ok, ok! Aah!

Where did it go?

Where is it?

Yzma:
[Squeaky]

Looking for this?

Is that my voice?

[Coughs]

Is that my voice?

Oh, well.

No! Don't drop it!

I'm not going

to drop it, you fool!

I'm going to drink it!

And once I turn back

into my beautiful self,

I'm going to kill you!

Ha ha ha!

[Grunting]

Aah!

Aah! Uh-oh.

Yzma:
Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Uhh! Whoa!

Uhh! Oh-oh-oh!

Kuzco!

Be right there!

Give me a minute!

Uhh! Uhh! Uhh!

Kuzco! Whoa!

Pacha:
Kuzco!

Aah!

Oh.

The vial!

Aah!

For the last time,

we did not order

a giant trampoline.

You know, pal, you

could have told me that

before I set it up.

Aah!

Aah! Uhh--

Huh? Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Hoo hoo hee hee

ha ha ha--

Pacha:
The vial!

You thinkin'

what I'm thinkin'?

Ah ha ha ha ha!

I win.

Whoa.

Got it!

What are the odds ofthat

trapdoor leading me out here?

Yeah!

Uhh.

[Clears Throat]

Here, uh, let me

get this for you.

Well, see ya

on the other side.

Old man:
Oh, now,

you--you

you stop being

so hard on yourself.

All is forgiven.

You're sure?

Oh, it's not the first time

I was tossed out a window,

and it won't be the last.

What can I say?

I'm a rebel.

Whoa-ho-ho, tiger.

Oh! Hey, I got to

use that arm later.

Ok, buddy, take care.

Ha ha.

Ah, he's a sweet guy.

Kuzco:

So, you lied to me

I did?

Yeah. You said

when the sun

hits this ridge

just right,

these hills sing.

Well, pal, I was dragged

all over those hills,

and I did not hear

any singing.

Kuzco:
So

I'll be building

my summer home

on a more magical hill.

Thank you.

Hmm. Couldn't pull the wool

over your eyes, huh?

No, no, I'm sharp,

I'm on it.

Looks like you

and your family

are stuck on that tuneless

hill top forever, pal.

You know, I'm pretty sure

I heard some singing

on the hill next to us.

In case you're interested.

[Chirping]

Ha! Boom, baby!

Ha! Boom, baby!

Theme song guy:

You'd be the coolest dude

In the nation

Or the hippest cat

in creation

But if you ain't got friends,

then nothing's worth the fuss

A perfect world

will come to be

When everybody here

can see

That a perfect world

begins and ends

A perfect world

begins and ends

A perfect world

begins and ends with us

" My acorn

is missing."

Squeak squeakin'

squeak squeakity.

" Did you eat

the acorn?"

Squeaker squeak

squeak squeakin'?

"You owe me

a new acorn."

Squeak squeak squeak

squeak squeaker--

Squeakin'.

I'm so proud of you guys.

Sting:
In the quiet time

of evening

When the stars

assume their patterns

And the day

has made his journey

And we wondered

just what happened

To the life we knew

Before the world

changed

When not a thing I had

Was true

Was true

But you were kind to me

And you reminded me

That the world

is not my playground

There are other things

that matter

And what is simple

needs protecting

Or my illusions

all would shatter

But you stayed

In my corner

The only world I know

was upside-down

And now

the world and me

We know you carry me

You see the patterns

in the big sky

Those constellations

look like you and I

Just like the patterns

in the big sky

We could be lost,

we could refuse to try

But we made it through

In the dark night

Who would those lucky guys

turn out to be

But that unusual blend

Of my funny friend

and me

I'm not as clever

as I thought I was

I'm not the boy

I used to be because

You show me

somethin' different

You show me somethin' pure

I always seemed so certain,

but I was really never sure

But you stayed

And you called my name

When others would have

walked out on a lousy game

And look

who made it through

But your funny friend

and me

You see the patterns

in the big sky

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Those constellations

look like you and I

That tiny planet

and the bigger guy

I don't know whether

I should laugh or cry

Chorus:
Just like

the patterns in the big sky

We'll be together

We'll be together

till the end this time

You don't know,

you don't know

Don't know the answer

or the reason why

We'll stick together

We'll stick together

till the day we die

If I had to do this all

a second time

I won't complain

or make a fuss

Who would

the angels send

But that unlikely blend

Of those

2 funny friends

That's us
