The Emperor's New Groove Page #2

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.

Uhh.

But--

But, Your Highness,

I have been nothing

if not loyal to the empire

for--for--for

many, many years.

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?

Very good, Kronk.

Here. Get the snack.

Got it!

Unh! Oof!.

Ok, you heard

the man.

Up, up, up.

Kronk:
Im ok

I'm fine

[Snarling]

Ah.

ok. Show him in.

Ahem.

Uh, afternoon,

Your Highness.

I'm here because

I received a summons--

Kuzco:
Hey,

there he is!

My main village man.

Um, Pacha.

Anyway, I got

this summons--

Pacha.

That's right.

You are just the man

I wanted to see.

I am?

Word on the street is

you can fix my problem.

You can fix my problem,

can't you?

Sure.

I'll do what I can.

Good, good. That's just

what I wanted to hear.

Are you aware of

just how important

your village is

to the empire?

Well, I know

we grow the crops

that you use here

at the palace.

We also herd the llamas

that you--

My village?

Oh, yeah.

You got a pretty sweet

little setup there

on top of that hill,

don't you? Ha ha ha!

Yeah. My family has

lived on that hilltop

for the last

6 generations.

Uh-huh.

So tell me,

where do you find

you get the most sun?

Oh, I'd say

just on the other side

of those trees.

When the sun hits

that ridge just right,

these hills sing.

Well, that settles it.

Really?

Yep. Problem solved.

Thanks for coming.

That's it?

That's all

you wanted me for?

I just needed

an insider's opinion

before I ok'd this spot

for my pool.

Uh...your pool?

Boo-yah!

Welcome to

Kuzcotopia,

my ultimate

summer getaway

complete

with water slide.

What?

Isn't it great?

It's my birthday gift

to me. Ha!

I'm so happy.

Uh...uh...

um...l don't understand

how this could happen.

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...

[Hums Carnival Tune]

So, if I were you,

I'd pick up some

change-of-address forms

on the way home.

But, um,

where will we live?

Hmm...

Don't know,

don't care.

How's that?

Oh, but wait.

You can't--

When I give the word,

your little town thingy

will be bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

Oh, w--wait. No--

Heh heh. Boohoo.

Kuzco:
Oh, yeah

Everything was goin' my way

Kuzco:
Or so I thought

He can't get rid of me

that easily.

Who does that ungrateful

little worm think he is?

Does he...

A little to the left.

...have any idea of

who he's dealing with?

How could he

do this to me?

Why, I practically

raised him.

Yeah, you think he

would've turned out better.

Yeah, go figure.

Well, it's better you're
