The Emperor's New Groove Page #3

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.

takin' out your anger

on these things instead

of the real Kuzco, huh?

[Gasps]

That's it, Kronk!

- That's it!

- [Crash]

I'll get rid of Kuzco.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The real Kuzco?

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!

So how does that work

with you bein' fired

and all?

The only ones who know

about that are the three of us,

soon to be the two of us.

And I'm one of

those two, right?

To the secret lab!

Pull the lever, Kronk.

Yzma:
Wrong lever!

[Splash]

Huh?

Why do we even

have that lever?

[Yelps]

Get out of my way!

Skull:
Please remain seated

and keep your arms and legs

in at all times

Yzma:
Whee!

Kronk:
Faster, faster!

Yzma, put your hands

in the air!

Kronk:
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Ah, how shall I do it?

Oh, I know.

Yzma:
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 ho ho ho.

Feel the power.

Oh...

I can feel it.

Our moment of

triumph approaches.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

It's dinner time.

So...is everything

ready for tonight?

Oh, yeah. I thought

we'd start off

with soup

and a light salad

and then see how

we feel after that.

Not the dinner...

The you know.

Oh, right.

The poison--

The poison for Kuzco,

the poison chosen

specially to kill Kuzco,

Kuzco's poison.

That poison?

Yes! That poison.

Got you covered.

Excellent.

A few drops in his drink,

then I'll propose a toast,

and he will be dead

before dessert.

Which is a real shame,

because it's gonna

be delicious.

[Door Bangs Open]

Boom, bam, baby!

Kuzco:
Let's

get to the grub

I am one hungry

king of the world.

So...no hard feelings

about being let go?

None whatsoever.

Kronk, get

the emperor a drink.

Drink. Right.

[Pouring Drink]

[Opening

Poison Stopper]

[Pours Poison in Drink]

[Explosion]

Your Highness.

[Sniffs]

Is something burning?

[Gasps]

My spinach puffs!

[Twangs Fork]

Ahem.

So... he seems...

nice.

Heh. He is.

He's what,

in his late twenties?

Heh heh. I'm not sure.

Saved 'em!

- That's great.

- Yzma:
Great!

- Good job.

- Very good job.

Watch it.

They're still hot.

Ahem.

Ahem!

Heh heh heh.

Kronk.

The emperor

needs his...

drink.

Right. Oh. Right.

Hey, Kronky,

everything ok back there?

Well, heh.

Oh, uh...

Ooh. The drinks
