Emperor Kuzco's Assertion of Identity and Power
Emperor Kuzco Okay. This is the real me. Not this. This. Not this. Winner. Loser. Okay. See this palace? Everybody in it is at my command. Check this out. Butler. Chef. Theme song guy.
[narrating; scene cuts to him as a llama; cuts back to him as a human, lounging on his throne; back to Llama Kuzco; back to Human Kuzco; back to Llama Kuzco; back to Human Kuzco; spoken]
Kronk's Confusion About Dinner Plans
Yzma So, is everything ready for tonight?
Kronk Oh, yeah. I thought we'd start off with soup and a light salad, and then see how we feel after that.
Yzma Not the dinner. The You-know...?
Kronk Oh, riiiight. The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison. That poison?
[long pause]
Yzma Yes, that poison.
Kronk Got ya covered.
Yzma Excellent. A few drops in his drink, then I'll propose a toast, and he will be dead before dessert.
Kronk Which is a real shame, cause it's gonna be delicious.
Emperor Kuzco Boom, bam, baby! Let's get to the grub. I am one hungry king of the world. So...no hard feelings about being let go.
Yzma None whatsoever. Kronk, get the emperor a drink.
Kronk Drink. Right... Your Highness.
Emperor Kuzco Is something burning?
[sniffs]
Kronk My spinach puffs!
[about to deliver the poisoned drink to Kuzco and gasps; dashes off to the kitchen]
Emperor Kuzco So, he seems nice.
Yzma He is.
[gives a weak chuckle]
Emperor Kuzco He's what, in his late twenties?
[beat]
Yzma I'm not sure...
[forces an awkward smile]
Kronk Saved em!
Emperor Kuzco That's great.
Yzma Great!
Emperor Kuzco Good job.
Yzma Very good job.
Kronk Watch it. They're still hot.
Yzma Ahem. Ahem! Heh heh heh. Kronk. The emperor needs his...drink.
Kronk Right. Oh. Right.
Emperor Kuzco Hey, Kronky, everything OK back there? Well, heh.
Kronk 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.
Yzma Ha ha ha. Yes, Kronk. Riveting. A toast to the emperor! Long live Kuzco!
Kronk Don't drink the wine. Poison.
[Under his breath; coughing]
Emperor Kuzco Ah! Tasty.
Yzma Finally! Ha ha ha! Good work, Kronk.
Kronk Oh, they're so easy to make. I'll get you the recipe.
Yzma Now to get rid of the body.
Emperor Kuzco OK! What were we saying?
Yzma Uh...we were just making a toast to your long and... healthy rule.
Emperor Kuzco 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...
Yzma Ahem.
[hums]
Emperor 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.
Llama Kuzco Now, about you finding new work...
Yzma Hit him on the head.
Llama Kuzco ...that's--that's gonna be tough.
Kronk More broccoli?
Llama Kuzco Because you're... you know. Let's face it. You're no spring chicken, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Yzma What?! A llama?! He's supposed to be dead!
Kronk Yeah, weird.
Yzma Let me see that vial. This isn't poison, this is extract of LLAMA!
[Kronk hands her the vial. The label's folded half-way, the logo looking like the top half of a skull. She unfolds the top of the label with her thumb, revealing a logo in the shape of a llama; tosses the vial at Kronk, which bounces off of his head and shatters on the floor]
Kronk You know, in my defense, your poisons all look alike. You might think about re-labeling some of them.
Yzma Take him out of town and finish the job now!
Kronk What about dinner?
Yzma Kronk, this is kind of important.
Kronk How about dessert?
Yzma Well, I suppose there's time for dessert.
Kronk And coffee?
Yzma Alright, a quick cup of coffee. THEN TAKE HIM OUT OF TOWN AND FINISH THE JOB!
Misunderstandings Between Pacha and Llama Kuzco
Pacha Your Highness. Your Highness, can you hear me? Oh, boy. Come on, breathe. Breathe! Ohh. Why me? Ooh! All right. Ohh!
[gasping, continue gasping, inhales, sighs; inhales]
Llama Kuzco Aah!
Llama Kuzco and Pacha Ohh!
Pacha For the last time, it was not a kiss.
Llama Kuzco Well, whatever you call it. It was disgusting. And to think, if you'd done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could have been spared your little kiss of life.
[spits water on the fire; shakes the water out of him, which puts out another fire]
Pacha Augh!
[annoyed]
Llama Kuzco But now that we're here, you will take me back to the palace, I'll have Yzma change me back, and then I'll start construction on Kuzcotopia. Oh, yeah.
[builds a house with a rock, sticks, and a leaf]
Pacha Okay, now look. I think we got off on the wrong foot here.
Llama Kuzco Um-hm.
[drying himself with Pacha's poncho]
Pacha I just think if you really thought about it, you'd decide to build your home on a different hilltop.
Llama Kuzco And why would I do that?
[throws the poncho onto the fireplace, which puts out another fire]
Pacha Because...Deep down, I think you'll realize that you're forcing an entire village out of their homes just for you.
Llama Kuzco And that's...bad?
Pacha Well, yeah! Uh, nobody's that heartless.
Llama Kuzco Mmmm. Now take me back.
Pacha 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.
Llama Kuzco Uh, yeah. Doy. Me. Everyone else in the kingdom gets it. You're the only one that doesn't seem to be with the program. Eh, Pacha?
Pacha You know, someday you're gonna wind up all alone and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
Llama Kuzco Thanks for that, I'll log that away. Now, for the final time, I order you to take me back to the palace.
Pacha Looks to me like you're stuck out here. Because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back.
Llama Kuzco Because unless you change your mind, I'm not gonna take you back." Me, me, me. Moo, moo, moo. Huh? What? I didn't do anything. I didn't do that. Somebody's throwing stuff. You gonna build a fire or what?
[mocking; throws an acorn at Pacha, who glares at him]
Pacha He's never going to change his mind.
[sighs; to himself]
Llama Kuzco How am I ever gonna get out of here?
[sighs; to himself; muttering, shivering, stops shivering]
Seeking an Audience with the Emperor
Pacha Uh, excuse me. I'm here to see Emperor Kuzco. You see, I got this summons--
Guard Inside, up the stairs, and to the left. Just follow the signs.
Pacha Oh, great. Thanks a lot.
Emperor Kuzco Uh, and don't be fooled by the folksy peasant look.
[narrates]
Pacha Oh!
Rudy Pardon me. That's mine.
Pacha Oh, here you go.
Rudy Thank you.
Pacha You're welcome. Aah! Oh, hey. Are you all right? What happened?
[noticing Rudy is caught in one of the palace streamers; helps Rudy down]
Rudy Well, I threw off the emperor's groove.
Pacha What?
Rudy His groove! The rhythm in which he lives his life! His pattern of behavior! I threw it off! And the emperor had me thrown out the window!
Pacha Oh, really? Well, I'm supposed to see him today-
[gasps in shock]
Rudy DON'T THROW OFF HIS GROOVE!
[leaps up and shakes him by the collar]
Pacha Oh, okay.
Rudy Beware the groove!
[climbing down]
Pacha Hey, are you going to be alright?!
Rudy The groove...
[leaves]
Emperor Kuzco See what I mean? This guy's trouble. But as bad as he is, he's nothing compared to what happens next.
[narrates]
Yzma And why have you come here today?
Peasant Well... Your Highness-- I mean, Your Grace.
Emperor Kuzco Okay, gang. Check out this piece of work: this is Yzma, the Emperor's Advisor. Living proof that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth. And let's not forget about Yzma's right-hand-man. Every decade or so she gets a new one. This year's model's called Kronk.
[narrates]
Kronk Yeah, I'll get that, Yzma.
[swats at a fly and hits himself by mistake]
Emperor Kuzco Yep, that's Kronk! Now, lately Yzma's gotten this bad habit of trying to run the country behind my back, and I'm thinking, That's gotta stop.
[narrates]
Mourning the Prince's Untimely Departure
Yzma And so, it is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved prince... Taken from us so tragically on the very eve of his 18th birthday.
Kronk Poor little guy.
[sobs; tearfully]
Yzma His legacy will live on in our hearts for all eternity.
Kronk He never had a chance.
Yzma Well, he ain't getting any deader! Back to work.
[rips off black cloak to reveal a hot pink extravaganza of an outfit; The attendees quickly toss their candles away and get to work renovating the palace]
Yzma Kronk, darling, I must you had me worried when you mixed up those poisons, but now that Kuzco is dead, all is forgiven.
Kronk Ah. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's dead, all right. Heh heh. I mean, you can't get much deader than he-- then he is right now. Unless, of course, we killed him again.
Yzma I suppose.
Kronk Hey, look, the royal dresser's here.
Yzma Kronk...
Kronk I should tell you right now I'm kind of hard to fit.
Yzma Kronk...
Kronk I wear a 66 long and a 31 waist.
Yzma Kuzco is dead, right? Tell me Kuzco's dead. I need to hear these words.
Kronk Uh, do you need to hear all those words exactly?
[nervously]
Yzma He's still alive?!
[drops her plate of wings; angrily]
Kronk Well, he's not as dead as we would have hoped.
Yzma Kronk!
[face turns red]
Kronk Just thought I'd give you a heads-up, in case Kuzco ever came back.
Yzma He can't come back!
Kronk Yeah, that would be kinda awkward, especially after that lovely eulogy.
Yzma You think?! You and I are going out to find him. If he talks, we're through! NOW LET'S MOVE!!!
Tipo DAD, LOOK OUT!?
[awakens and scared in pain]
Chicha Tipo, what is it?
[to Tipo]
Tipo I had a dream that Dad was tied to a log and was careening out of control down a raging river of death!
Chicha All right, all right, it's okay.
Tipo You're awful!
Chicha It's okay, it's okay. Tipo, calm down. It was just a dream. Your dad's fine. He just went back to see the emperor.
Tipo Oh. Like you told him to, cause you're always right.
Chicha That's right.
Chaca Well, in my dream, Dad had to kiss a llama.
Tipo Yeah, like that would ever happen.
Chaca It could.
Tipo Nuh-uh.
Chaca Yeah-huh.
Tipo Nuh-uh.
Chaca Yeah-huh.
Chica Good night, you two.
Both Night, Mom!
Chaca Yeah-huh. Yeah-huh.
Tipo Nuh-uh. Nuh-uh.
Kronk's Confession About the Poison
Kronk Oh, riiiight. The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison.
The Transformation of Emperor Kuzco
Emperor Kuzco Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh? Well, you'll never believe this, but that llama you're looking at was once a human being. And not just any human being. That guy was an emperor. A rich, powerful ball of charisma. Oh, yeah. This is his story. Well, actually my story. That's right - I'm that llama. The name is Kuzco. Emperor Kuzco. I was the world's nicest guy, and they ruined my life for no reason. Oh, is that hard to believe? Look, I tell you what. You go back - you know, before I was a llama, and this will all make sense. All right, now see, that's a little too far back. Oh, ho. Look at me. That's me as a baby. All right, let's move ahead.
[narrates; the film rewinds to show Kuzco as a baby playing with his toys; the stuffed animal's head pops off when Baby Kuzco squeezes it. Baby Kuzco cries, then coos and giggles when more stuffed animals are given to him]
Honeymoon Dining at Mudka's Meat Hut
Mata Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut, home of the mug of meat. What'll it be?
[sighs; Llama Kuzco giggles]
Pacha Ahem. We'll have two specials. Is that all right, dear?
Llama Kuzco Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin. You know what I like.
Pacha Hee hee hee. We're on our honeymoon.
Mata Bless you for coming out in public. So that's two specials.
Llama Kuzco And an onion log. To split.
[giggles]
Mata Ordering! I need two heartburns and a deep-fried doorstop on table twelve!
Pacha OK, so I'll admit this was a good idea.
Llama Kuzco When will you learn that all my ideas are good ones?
Pacha 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.
Llama Kuzco Anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude.
Mata Hot and crispy pillbug for the happy couple. Mazel tov.
Pacha Oh, boy.
[slurps]
Llama Kuzco Ooh. Ugh. Bluh. Urp!
Pacha Oh, here. Let me get that for you.
Llama Kuzco Bleaggh! Uck!
Pacha Where are you going?
Llama Kuzco I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef.
Pacha You're gonna get us thrown out.
Llama Kuzco Please. With this disguise, I'm invisible.
Man Heh heh!
Yzma 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.
Kronk Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that. Uh-oh. I'll get you another one, Yzma. Yo.
Kronk You using that fork there, pal? Hey, don't I know you?
Pacha I don't think so.
Kronk Wrestled you in high school?
Pacha Don't remember that.
Kronk Metal shop? I got it! Miss Narca's interpretive dance--two semesters. Is was usually in the back of my weak ankles. Come on, pal. You gotta help me out here.
Pacha I don't think we've ever met, but I gotta go.
Kronk Don't worry. I'll think of it.
Llama Kuzco Look, all I know is the food looked iffy. I'm not the only one that thinks that, I'm sure.
Pacha Psst! Hey!
Llama Kuzco So I'm just checking to make sure you're going to take the main course up a notch.
Yzma Is there anything on this menu that is not swimming in gravy?
Kronk Hang on. I'll go ask the chef.
Llama Kuzco It's a simple question. Is there or is there not anything edible on this menu?
Chef Gah!
Llama Kuzco Hey, I didn't ask him about dessert yet!
Kronk Hey, pal, what's your policy on making special orders?
Chef All right, buster! You want a special order, then you make it! I quit!
Kronk Yeah, but I--
Chef I try and I try! There's no respect for anyone with vision! That's it, I guess there's nothing I can do about it!
Kronk Uh- wait- Please don't go.
[the now-former chef storms out]
Mata Ordering. Three pork combos, extra bacon on the side, two 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?
Kronk Three oinkers wearing pants, plate of hot air, basket of Grandma's breakfast, and change the bull to a gill. Got it.
[having a chance to cook]
Tipo informs Pacha about his relatives' absence.
Tipo Hey there, Pacha! Hey, y'know you just missed your relatives.
Pacha's Anticipation for a Meeting
Pacha Oh, really? Well, I'm supposed to see him today-
[gasps in shock]
Questioning Visibility and Presence
Chicha Couldn't see you? Why not?
Unexpected Encounter Between Pacha and Kuzco
Pacha Ahem. Uh, afternoon, Your Highness. I'm here because I received a summons--
Emperor Kuzco Hey, there he is! My main village man.
Pacha Um, Pacha. Anyway, I got this summons--
Emperor Kuzco Pacha. That's right. You are just the man I wanted to see.
Pacha I am?
Emperor Kuzco Word on the street is you can fix my problem. You can fix my problem, can't you?
Pacha Sure. I'll do what I can.
Emperor Kuzco Good, good. That's just what I wanted to hear. Are you aware of just how important your village is to the empire?
Pacha Well, I know we grow the crops that you use here at the palace. We also herd the llamas that you-- My village?
Emperor Kuzco Oh, yeah. You got a pretty sweet little setup there on top of that hill, don't you? Ha ha ha!
Pacha Yeah. My family has lived on that hilltop for the last 6 generations.
Emperor Kuzco Uh-huh. So tell me, where do you find you get the most sun?
Pacha Oh, I'd say just on the other side of those trees. When the sun hits that ridge just right, these hills sing.
Emperor Kuzco Well, that settles it.
Pacha Really?
Emperor Kuzco Yep. Problem solved. Thanks for coming.
Pacha That's it? That's all you wanted me for?
Emperor Kuzco I just needed an insider's opinion before I OK'd this spot for my pool.
Pacha Uh...your pool?
Emperor Kuzco Boo-yah! Welcome to Kuzcotopia, my ultimate summer getaway, complete with water slide!
[places a model of Kuzcotopia on top of the hill, smashing the model of Pacha's house]
Pacha What?
[absolutely shocked]
Emperor Kuzco Isn't it great?! It's my birthday gift to me! I'm so happy!
Pacha Um...I don't understand how this could happen.
Emperor Kuzco 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... So, if I were you, I'd pick up some change-of-address forms on the way home.
[hums carnival tune for his resort display on top of Pacha's village]
Pacha But, where will we live?
Emperor Kuzco Hmm, don't know. Don't care. How's that?
[thinks; starts to leave]
Pacha Wait! You can't-!
[gets blocked by guards]
Emperor Kuzco When I give the word, your little town thingy will be bye-bye. Bye-bye!
[appalled that a peasant has just dared to talk back to him, halts mid-stride, turns back around and gets in Pacha's face; happily]
Pacha Wait!
[gets dragged off by the guards]
Emperor Kuzco Boo-hoo!
[mocking]
Emperor Kuzco Oh, yeah. Everything was goin my way. Or so I thought.
[narrates]
Inquiry About the Emperor's Intentions
Chicha So, what did the emperor want?
Yzma Dismisses Peasant's Plea for Food
Yzma It is no concern of mine whether your family has... What was it again?
Peasant Um, food.
Yzma Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants. We're through here. Take him away. Next!
Peasant But I-- Oh, OK.
Yzma Ugh.
Emperor Kuzco The nerve of some of those peasants, huh?
Yzma Tell me about it. Aah!
Emperor Kuzco Hi there.
Yzma Ooh, Your Highness.
Emperor Kuzco Ahem.
Yzma Oh, oh, oh, ha ha ha. Um...
Emperor Kuzco Uh, you were doing it again.
Yzma Doing? Doing... Doing what?
Emperor Kuzco Doing my job. I'm the emperor, and you're the emperor's advisor. Remember that?
Yzma But, Your Highness, I was only dealing with meaningless peasant matters.
Emperor Kuzco Whoa. Look at these wrinkles. What is holding this woman together? What the-- How long has that been there?
[narrates]
Kronk Good thinking, Yzma. What do you say, Kuzco?
Emperor Kuzco Whoa! No touchy! No touchy. No touch.
Servant Excuse me, Your Highness. The village leader is here to see you.
Emperor Kuzco Oh, great. Send him in. Oh, and by the way, you're fired.
Yzma Fired? What do you mean, fired?
Emperor Kuzco Um, how else can I say it? You're being let go, your department's being downsized, you're part of an outppacement, we're going in a different direction, we're not picking up your option... Take your pick. I got more.
Yzma But I-- You--uh-- Uhh. But-- But, Your Highness, I have been nothing if not loyal to the empire for--for--for many, many years.
Emperor Kuzco Hey, hey everybody hits their stride. You just hit yours 50 years ago. So...who's in my chair?
Kronk Oh, oh! I know! Yzma. Yzma's in your chair, right?
Emperor Kuzco Very good, Kronk. Here. Get the snack.
Kronk Got it! Unh! Oof!
Emperor Kuzco OK, you heard the man. Up, up, up.
Kronk I'm OK. I'm fine.
Emperor Kuzco Ah. OK. Show him in.

Crossing the Bridge to the Palace
Pacha OK. Once we cross this bridge, it's only an hour to the palace.
Llama Kuzco Good, because believe it or not, I think I need a bath.
Pacha I believe it. What was that?
Llama Kuzco Nothing.
Pacha Ohh! Whoa! Kuzco! Kuzco!
Llama Kuzco Yeah?
Pacha Quick, help me up!
Llama Kuzco No. I don't think I will.
Pacha You're going to leave me here?
Llama Kuzco Well, I was going to have you imprisoned for life, but I kind of like this better.
Pacha I thought you were a changed man.
Llama Kuzco Oh, come on. I had to say something to get you to take me back to the city.
Pacha So all of it was a lie?
Llama Kuzco Well, yeah. No, wait. Uh, yeah, yeah. It all was a lie. Toodles.
Pacha We shook hands on it!
Llama Kuzco You know, the funny thing about about shaking hands is you need hands. Ha! OK. Buh-bye. Aah!
Pacha Are you okay? Are you all right?
Llama Kuzco Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm all right.
Pacha Good! That's for going back on your promise!
[punches Kuzco]
Llama Kuzco Yeah! That's for kidnapping me and taking me to your village, which I'm still gonna destroy, by the way. No touchy.
[kicks Pacha sending him flying back; chuckles nervously]
Pacha Why did I risk my life for a selfish brat like you? I was always taught that there was some good in everyone, but, oh, you proved me wrong!
[headbutts Kuzco throwing him into the rocks]
Llama Kuzco Oh, boo-hoo. Now I feel really bad, bad llama.
[sarcastically]
Pacha I could've let you die out there in that jungle, and then all my problems would be over!
Llama Kuzco Well, that makes you ugly and stupid!?
Pacha Let's end this.
Llama Kuzco Ladies first.
Pacha Aah!
Llama Kuzco Yaah!
Llama Kuzco Ohh!
Llama Kuzco and Pacha Aah! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
[scream]
Pacha Whoa!
Llama Kuzco Oh! What are we gonna do? Aah! What are we gonna do? We're gonna die! We're gonna die! That's it for me!
[Alligators roar]
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.
Llama Kuzco Ow! You did that on purpose. Aah!
Pacha No, I didn't! Now, we're gonna have to work together to get out of this, so follow my lead. Ready? Right foot.
Llama Kuzco Whose right? Your right or mine?
Pacha I don't care. Mine.
Llama Kuzco Well, why yours?
Pacha OK, your right! Ready?
Llama Kuzco OK, got it.
Pacha OK, right. Left. Right.
Llama Kuzco Ha ha! Look, we're moving! Aah!
Pacha Don't look down! Now, stay with me. Stay with me. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right!
Llama Kuzco Now what, genius?
Pacha Working on it. OK, here's the deal. Stretch out your neck, and I'll grab the rope.
Llama Kuzco How do I know you won't let me fall after you grab the rope?
Pacha You're just gonna have to trust me!
Llama Kuzco You know, it's a good thing you're not a big, fat guy, or this would be really difficult. Aah! Aah!
[strains]
Pacha Almost. Got it! It's stuck.
Llama Kuzco Take your time. No hurry here. Scorpions! Aah ha ha!
Pacha Kuzco!
Llama Kuzco Aah! Oh, no!
Pacha Uhh! Aah! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Llama Kuzco Huh? Aah! Aah!
Pacha Whoa! Huh?
[Kuzco and Pacha laugh]
Llama Kuzco Look out!
Pacha Ohh! Ohh.
Llama Kuzco WHOO! YEAH! Look at me and my bad self! I snatched you right outta the air! "Oh, I'm a crumbling canyon wall, and I'm taking you with me." Well, not today, pal. Uh-huh, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
[rescues Pacha from falling back into the canyon]
Pacha You just saved my life.
[stunned]
Llama Kuzco Huh? So?
Pacha I knew it.
[pleased]
Llama Kuzco Knew what?
Pacha That there is some good in you after all.
Llama Kuzco Oh, no.
Pacha Admit it.
Llama Kuzco Wrong.
Pacha Yes, there is.
Llama Kuzco Nuh-uh.
Pacha I think there is.
Llama Kuzco Nuh-uh.
Pacha Hey, you could've let me fall.
Llama Kuzco Come on, what's the big deal? Nobody's that heartless! Eh, don't put too much into it. It was a one-time thing.
[stops, surprised, then trying to downplay it]
Pacha Yeah, sure. Well, we better get going. With that bridge out, it's a four-day walk to the palace.
Llama Kuzco What, you mean you're still taking me back?
Pacha I shook on it, didn't I?
Llama Kuzco Well, yeah. But I hope you realize that doesn't change a thing. I'm still building Kuzcotopia when I get back.
Pacha Well, four days is a long time. Who knows? Maybe you'll change your mind.
Llama Kuzco Uh-huh. Four days. What are the chances of you carrying me?
Pacha Not good.
Search for Kuzco Intensifies Amid Frustration
Yzma No! No! No! We've searched every village around the palace, and still no sign of Kuzco! Where is he?! KRONK?!
[growls in frustration and calls Kronk]
Kronk Kronk here.
Yzma I’m getting tired! Pull over!
Kronk Sure thing. Kronk out. Ooh! Aah! Aah! Ohh!
Yzma Perfect. These are my best shoes. I hate this jungle.
[straining; Insects buzzing]
Kronk Oh, look. A golden-throated small-winged warbler. Just one more for exotic bird bingo.
Yzma Aah!
Kronk I am loving this.
Yzma Get away from me! Uhh.
[gasps; Bucky chatters]
Kronk Yeah. Tell me about it. No, no, it's not you. She's not the easiest person to get close to. There's a wall there. Trust me.
[Bucky chatters; Bucky chatters]
Yzma Are you talking to that squirrel?
Kronk I was a junior chipmunk. I had to be versed in the woodland creatures. Please continue.
[Bucky chatters]
Yzma Aah! Why me? Why me?
Kronk Hey, it doesn't always have to be about you. This poor little guy has had it rough. Seems a talking llama gave him a hard time the other day.
Yzma Oh, a talking llama? Ha ha ha ha! Do tell. Heh heh heh heh!
[Bucky chatters]
Kronk Uh, he doesn't really want to talk to you.
Yzma Well, then you ask him.
Kronk I hate being in the middle. Squeaky, uh... squeak, squeaker, squeakin'.
[sighs]
Bucky Aah!
[chatters]
Kronk Jaguars? No kidding? Brutal.
[Bucky chattering and stops chattering]
Kronk Uh, could you give us a little room here?
Yzma Uh, sorry.
Bucky Uh-uh.
Kronk A little bit more, please.
Yzma How is this?
[Bucky chatters]
Kronk Yeah, that's good.
Yzma Now ask him which way the talking llama went!
Kronk Uh, squeakity-squeak, squeakin'.
[Bucky chatters]
Pacha Low blood sugar, huh?
[carries Kuzco while walking]
Emperor Kuzco Yeah, it's a curse.
[laughs]
Pacha Well, as soon as we get something to eat, you're walking the rest of the way.
Emperor's Confusion in the Jungle
Llama Kuzco Scary jungle. Right. Ooh, a leaf. Ooh, it might attack me. Oh, it's a scary tree. I'm afraid. Ha ha. Please. Never find my way? I'm the emperor, and as such, I'm born with an innate sense of direction. Okay, where am I?
[laughs; high voice]
Llama Kuzco Wha--
[gasps]
Fly Help me! Help me! Help me!
Llama Kuzco Uhh.
Fly Too late.
Llama Kuzco OK, that was the freakiest thing I've ever seen.
[Gasps]
Llama Kuzco Aah! Hmm. What do you want?
Llama Kuzco Oh, for me? Why, I don't know what to say.
Bucky Ow!
[laughs]
Llama Kuzco Hit the road, bucky.
Llama Kuzco Aah! Ow! Huh? Huh?
[raspberry]
Llama Kuzco Huh? Uh-oh.
Llama Kuzco No, no. No, no, no, no.
Llama Kuzco No, no. No, don't.
Llama Kuzco Ha!
[Gasps]
Llama Kuzco Aah! No! Aah!
Llama Kuzco Aah!
Llama Kuzco You killer jaguars... Whoa!
Chaca Questions a Critical Decision
Chaca Well, which is it? That seems like a pretty crucial conjunction.
Kronk's Defense of Poison Labels
Kronk You know, in my defense, your poisons all look alike. You might think about re-labeling some of them.
Emperor Kuzco Critiques Potential Brides
Emperor Kuzco Ha! Boom, baby!
Official Aah! Your Highness, it is time for you to choose your bride.
Emperor Kuzco All righty. Trot out the ladies.
Emperor Kuzco Let's take a look-see. Hate your hair. Not likely. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. And, let me guess, you have a great personality. Is this really the best you could do?
[analyzes potential brides]
Official Oh, yes. Oh, no. I mean, perhaps--
Emperor Kuzco What is he babbling about? He's like the thing that wouldn't shut up. Anyway, still wondering about that llama in the opening? Well, let me show you the people responsible for ruining my life. First, there's Pacha.
[narrates]
Growing Up: A Family Moment
Tipo Mom, Mom! I think I'm still growing! Measure me again!
Chicha All right, Tipo. Stand still and let's see.
Chaca Mom, you and I both know that it's impossible for him to have grown in the last 5 minutes.
Tipo Mmm! Mmm!
Chaca Isn't it?
Chicha Look how much you've grown!
[gasps]
Chaca What? Tipo, get out of the way. It's my turn again. Measure me.
Tipo Dad's home!
Pacha Come Here!
Pacha Hey, ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Come here. Ha ha ha!
Tipo Dad! I ate a bug today!
Pacha Oh! Was Mom baking again? Heh. Don't tell her I said that.
Chicha I heard that. OK, everybody, move aside. Lady with a baby coming through.
Tipo Dad, Dad, Dad! Look at how big I am! We were all measured today.
Pacha Oh.
Tipo I'm going through a growth spurt. I'm as big as you were when you were me.
Pacha Mm-hmm. Sure are.
Chaca That's not as impressive as my loose tooth. See?
Chicha Okay, Okay, you two. Our deal was that you could stay awake until Daddy came home. Now say good night.
Both Dad, do we have to?
[whimpering]
Pacha No, you two can stay up. We're just gonna be sitting here telling each other how much we love each other. Right, honey?
[coos]
Tipo Ew!
Chaca Blecch!
Both ...GOOD NIGHT.
[Both Laughing]
Chicha So, what did the emperor want?
Pacha Oh, you know what, he couldn't see me.
[clears throat]
Chicha Couldn't see you? Why not?
Pacha I don't know.
Chicha Well, that's just rude.
Pacha Well, he is the emperor. I'm sure he's busy.
Chicha No, no, no, no. No. Emperor or no emperor, it's called common courtesy.
Pacha Honey...
Chicha If that were me, I'd march right back there and demand to see him, and you know I would.
Pacha Sweetie, sweetie, think of the baby.
Chicha Pacha, I'm fine. The baby's not coming for a while, but even if it was, I'd give tha guy a piece of my mind. That kind of behavior just--just-- Uhh! I gotta go wash something. Pacha? You OK?
[snarls]
Pacha Hmm? Oh, yeah. I'm just a little tired from the trip. Um...I'm gonna go put Misty away.
Llama Kuzco Uh, heh heh. Hi. Excuse me. Two seconds here. Um, I'm the one in the cart, remember? This story's about me, not him. OK. You got it? All right. We're gonna move ahead. Sorry to slow you down. Heh heh heh.
Unexpected Encounters in the Jungle
Pacha Huh? Whoa.
Llama Kuzco Uhh. Oh.
Pacha Where'd you come from, little guy?
Llama Kuzco No touchy.
Pacha Aah! Demon llama!
Llama Kuzco Demon llama? Where? Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Ooh hoo hoo! Ow! Ow, my head.
Pacha OK, demon llama. Just take it easy. I mean you no harm.
Llama Kuzco What are you talking talking about-- Oh, wait. I know you. You're that whiny peasant.
Pacha Emperor Kuzco?
[gasps]
Llama Kuzco Yeah. Who do you think you were talkin to?
Pacha Uh...how did-- Um... you don't... look like the emperor.
Llama Kuzco What do you mean I don't look like the emperor?
Pacha Uh...oh... do this...
Llama Kuzco What is this, some kind of little game you country folk like to-- Aah! It can't be! Aah! Aah! Aah! My face! Aah! My beautiful, beautiful face!
Pacha Okay, Okay, Okay.
Llama Kuzco I'm an ugly, stinky llama!
Pacha Wait, Okay, Your Majesty.
Llama Kuzco Llama face!
Pacha Shh! What happened?
Llama Kuzco I'm trying to figure that out, okay? Ohh-ho! I can't remember. I can't remember anything. Wait a minute. I remember you. I remember telling you that I was building my pool where your house was, and then you got mad at me. Ohh! And you turned me into a llama!
[laughing hysterically, whimpering frantically]
Pacha What? No, I did not.
Llama Kuzco Yes, and then you kidnapped me.
Pacha Why would I kidnap a llama?
Llama Kuzco I have no idea. You're the crinimal mastermind, not me.
Pacha What?
Llama Kuzco Hmm. You're right. That's giving you way too much credit. OK. I have to get back to the palace. Yzma's got that "secret lab." I'll just snap my fingers and order her to change me back. Hey, you. No waste. Let's go. Hey, tiny, I want to get out of this body. Wouldn't you? Now let's go.
Pacha Build your summerhouse somewhere else.
Llama Kuzco You want to run that by me again?
Pacha I can't let you go back unless you change your mind and build your summer home somewhere else.
Llama Kuzco Hmm. I got a little secret for you. Come here. No, closer. I don't make deals with peasants!
Pacha Then I guess I can't take you back.
Llama Kuzco Fine. I don't need you. I can find my own way back.
Pacha I wouldn't recommend it. It's a little dangerous if you don't know the way.
Llama Kuzco Nice try, pal.
Pacha No, really. I'm telling you, there are jaguars and snakes and quicksand.
Llama Kuzco I'm not listening.
[high voice]
Pacha I'm not kidding. Listen, you cannot go in there.
Llama Kuzco La la la la. Oh. Heh heh. Still not listening.
Pacha Aw, you... Fine. Fine. Go ahead! If there's no Kuzco, there's no Kuzcotopia. Takes care of my problem. Hmm.
Emperor Kuzco's Triumph and Excitement
Emperor Kuzco Ha! Boom, baby!
[repeated line]
Yzma's Frustration with Kuzco
Yzma He can't get rid of me that easily! Who does that ungrateful little worm think he is?! A little to the left. Does he have ANY idea of who he's dealing with?! How could he do this to me?! Why, I practically raised him!
[to Kronk; Kronk nudges the head so she can smash it]
Kronk Yeah, you'd think he would've turned out better.
[lays down another bust, which Yzma smashes]
Yzma Yeah, go figure.
[dryly]
Kronk Well, it's better you're taking out your anger on these things instead of the real Kuzco, huh?
Yzma That's it, Kronk! That's it! I'll get rid of Kuzco.
[gasps and smiles evilly]
Kronk The real Kuzco?
Yzma 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.
Kronk So, how does that work with you being fired and all?
Yzma The only ones who know about that are the three of us, soon to be the two of us.
Kronk And I'm one of those two, right?
Yzma To the secret lab! Pull the lever, Kronk! WRONG LEVER!
[they move over to two levers; Kronk pulls a lever, opening a trap door under her; she falls through; splashes]
Kronk Uh...
[looks down the trap door]
Yzma Why do we even have that lever? Get out of my way.
[comes out all wet and with a crocodile biting her dress; slaps the crocodile which lets go of her dress and runs away, yipping; pulls the other lever, and she and Kronk land in what is like an amusement park ride]
Skeleton Ride Voice Please remain seated, and keep your arms and legs in at all times.
Kronk Whoo! Faster, faster! Yzma! Put your hands in the air! Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo!
[Yzma and Kronk arrive in the lab, wearing lab coats and safety goggles, do a high-five, and run to get to work]
Yzma Ah, how should I do it? Oh, I know. 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, feel the power.
[knocks over a beaker of poison onto a plant, and the plants explodes into black, shriveled, then drops quickly, dead; laughs evilly]
Kronk Oh. I can feel it.
Yzma Our moment of triumph approaches IT'S DINNERTIME!
[laughs evilly]
Unexpected Warmth Between Friends
Pacha Ooh! Brr!
[coughs]
Llama Kuzco Uh, hey. Thanks.
Pacha Oh. No problem.
Llama Kuzco Feels like wool.
Pacha Yeah.
Llama Kuzco Alpaca?
Pacha Oh, yeah, it is.
Llama Kuzco Oh, yeah, I thought so. It's nice.
Pacha My wife made it.
Llama Kuzco Oh, she knits?
Pacha Crochets.
Llama Kuzco Crochets? Nice.
Pacha Thanks.
Llama Kuzco 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 might...
Pacha Are you saying... you've changed your mind?
Llama Kuzco Oh, well, I--I...
Pacha Because you know that means you're doing something nice for something else.
Llama Kuzco No, I know that. I know.
Pacha And you're all right with that?
Llama Kuzco Yes. What?
Pacha Don't shake unless you mean it. All right. Let's get you back to the palace. Oh, by the way, thanks.
Llama Kuzco No... thank you.
Kronk's Dilemma Between Good and Evil
Emperor Kuzco Guess where I am right now. Uh-huh. In the bag. Still think I'm the victim here? Watch. It gets better. Ugh, he's doing his own theme music? Big, dumb, and tone deaf. I am so glad I was unconscious for all of this.
[narrates]
Kronk Huh! Mission accomplished.
Kronk Angel You're not just gonna let him die like that, are you?
Kronk 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.
Kronk Angel Ah, come off it
Kronk Devil You come off it.
Kronk Angel You.
Kronk Devil You.
Kronk Angel You.
Kronk Devil You infinity. Listen up, big guy. I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one: Look at that guy. He's got that sissy, stringy, music thing.
[smirking; the angel growls in frustration; to Kronk; points at the angel]
Kronk Angel We've been through this. It's a harp, and you know it.
Kronk Devil All right. So, that's a harp...and that's a dress.
Kronk Angel Robe.
Kronk Devil Reason number two: Look what I can do. Ha, ha! Ha!
[does a one-handed handstand]
Kronk But, uh, what does that have to do with anything?
Kronk Angel No, no, he's got a point.
Kronk Listen, you guys. You're starting to confuse me, so, uh, "be gone". Or, uh, you know, however I get rid of you guys.
Kronk Devil That'll work.
[also disappears]
Emperor Kuzco Uh...what's with the chimp and the bug? Can we get back to me?
[narrates]
Kronk Oh, boy. Think, think, think. What to do, what to do? What do we do with the body?
Pacha What am I gonna tell the village?
[sighs]
Kronk Come on, Kronky. Come on, Kronky. OK. What do I do? What do I do? Aah!
Kronk Back! Elbow! Shoulder! Unh! Oh. Hey! Hey, you! Hey! Excuse me. Excuse me. Stop! Pardon me. Excuse me. Sorry about that. Comin through. Hey, you with the cart! Uh-oh. This is not good. Uhh. Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me.
[gasping]
A Moment of Assurance and Safety
Pacha Aah-eee! Aah! Aah!
[Pacha Screams Tarzan Yell]
Pacha Yee-aah!
Llama Kuzco Aah!
Pacha Don't worry, Your Highness. I gotcha. You're safe now.
Llama Kuzco Maybe I just new to this whole rescuing thing, but this, to me, might be considered kind of a step backwards, wouldn't you say?
Pacha No, no, no. It's-It's okay. This is all right. We can figure this out.
[The log starts to break]
Llama Kuzco I hate you.
[The log breaks completely, sending them plummeting into a river. After riding through the rapids, they are bounced into far calmer waters]
Llama Kuzco I don't know about you, but I'm getting all funned out.
[spits out water]
Pacha Uh-oh.
[eyes widen]
Llama Kuzco Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall.
[deadpan]
Pacha Yep.
[also deadpan]
Llama Kuzco Sharp rocks at the bottom?
Pacha Looks likely.
Llama Kuzco ...Bring it on. BOO-YEAH!!! WOO-HOO!!!
[as they go over]
Urgent Escape from a Confusing Situation
Llama Kuzco What's going on?
Pacha There's no time to explain. We gotta get out of here.
Yzma What is he doing in there?
Pacha Uhh! Come on!
Pacha No, Kuzco!
Llama Kuzco OK, I'll make it simple for you. I'll have a spinach omelet with wheat toast. You got it?
Kronk Can do.
Yzma What's taking so long?
Kronk Pickup!
Yzma Kronk, what are you doing?
Kronk Kinda busy here.
Yzma Why am I not surprised?
Kronk You order's up!
Yzma Ohh! Oh, well, while you're at it, make me the special. And hold the gravy!
Kronk Check. Pickup.
Llama Kuzco You know what? On second thought, make my omelet a meat pie.
Kronk Meat pie. Check.
Yzma Kronk, can I order the potatoes as a side dish?
Kronk I'll have to charge you full price.
[Yzma groans]
Llama Kuzco Hey, how about a side of potatoes, buddy?
Kronk You got it. Want cheese on those potatoes?
Yzma Thank you, Kronk. Cheddar will be fine.
Kronk Cheddar spuds coming up.
Llama Kuzco Spuds yes, cheese no.
Kronk Hold the cheese.
Yzma No, I want the cheese.
Kronk Cheese it is.
Llama Kuzco Cheese, me no like-y.
Kronk Cheese out.
Yzma Cheese in.
Kronk Ah, come on, make up your mind!
[growing frustrated]
Llama Kuzco Okay, okay, on second thought-
Yzma and Llama Kuzco Make my potatoes a salad.
Yzma's Ingenious Plan for Revenge
Yzma Ah, how should I do it? Oh, I know. 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.
