Chicha
[smiling]

Okay everybody, move aside. [pats her pregnant belly] Lady with a baby comin' through.

Kuzco

"...I'm a crumbling canyon wall, and I'm taking you with me." Well not today, pal! [shuffling to dance] Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-uh.
Pacha [uncertainly]: You just saved my life.

Kuzco

Huh?

Yzma
[Yzma is shocked that her potion turned Kuzco into a llama instead of killing him]

Take him out of town and finish the job, now!

Kronk

But, what about dinner?

Yzma

Kronk, this is kind of important.

Kronk

Not even dessert?

Yzma
[starts to protest, but stops]

Well, I suppose there's time for dessert.

Kronk
[hopefully]

And coffee?

Yzma

All right, a quick cup of coffee. Then take him out of town and finish the job!

Pacha
[After Kuzco realizes he's been turned into a llama]

What happened?

Kuzco
[trying to calm down]

I'm trying to figure that out, okay? [falls and starts whining again] I can't remember! I can't remember anything! Wait a minute. [turns towards Pacha] I remember you! I remember telling you that I was building my pool where your house was. And then you got mad at me-- [gasps in shock, then turns back to Pacha angrily] Then you turned me into a llama!

Pacha

Wha--! No, I did not!

Kuzco

Yes, and then you kidnapped me!

Pacha

Why would I kidnap a llama?

Kuzco

I have no idea. You're the criminal mastermind, not me!

Pacha

What?!

Kuzco
[pauses]

You're right. That's giving you way too much credit.

Pacha
[Pacha and Kuzco are swinging to safety]

Don't worry your Highness. I got ya. You're safe now.

Kuzco
[The vine from which they are swinging from catches, spins them around numerous times and binds them firmly to a log]

Maybe I'm 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-This is all right. We can figure this out.

Kuzco
[The log starts to break in two]

I hate you.

Pacha & Kuzco
[The log breaks sending them plummeting to the ground]

Nooo!

Kuzco
[Tied to the log, they drop into a fast-flowing river, hit a number of rocks, then luckily are bounced into far calmer waters]

I don't know about you, but I'm getting all funned out.

Pacha

Uh-oh.

Kuzco
[resigned]

Don't tell me: We're about to go over a huge waterfall.

Pacha

Yep.

Kuzco

Sharp rocks at the bottom?

Pacha

Most likely.

Kuzco
[pause]

Bring it on. [yells as they go over] Boo-yaaa!

Pacha
[Kuzco is washing his mouth out with water]

For the last time it was not a kiss.

Kuzco

Well, whatever you call it, [Kuzco spits the water onto Pacha's fire, putting it out] it was disgusting. And if you would've done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could have been spared your little kiss of life. [Kuzco shakes off the water from his fur which puts out the fire Pacha has just re-lit] But now that you'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!

Pacha

Okay, now look, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I just think if you really thought about it you'd decide to build your home on a different hilltop.

Kuzco
[completely uninterested in what Pacha was saying, Kuzco finishes off drying himself with Pacha's poncho]

And why would I do that? [Kuzco throws the poncho over the fire, putting it out again]

Pacha

Because [controls his anger] deep down, I think you'll realize that you're forcing an entire village out of their homes just for you.

Kuzco

And that's bad?

Pacha

Well, yeah. Uh, nobody's that heartless.

Kuzco

Mmmm. [pauses] 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.

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 programme, eh, Pacha?

Pacha

You know what? Someday, you're gonna wind up all alone and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

Kuzco
[sarcastically]

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.

Kuzco
[imitating Pacha]

Because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back. Me, me, me. [Picks up an acorn and throws it at Pacha, hitting him on the head. Pacha looks round angrily] Huh? What? I didn't do anything. I didn't - Somebody's throwing stuff.

Yzma

Kronk, why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing. It's like I'm talking to a monkey.

Kronk's Shoulder Angel

Whoa now!

Yzma

A really, really, big, stupid monkey named Kronk!

Kronk's Shoulder Devil

Ouch.

Yzma

And would you like to know something else? I never liked your spinach puffs. Never!

Kronk's Shoulder Devil
[Kronk gasps and visibly upset as his shoulder angel pats him]

That's it! [**** trident] She's goin' down.

Kronk's Shoulder Angel

Now guys, from above, the wicked shall receive their just reward. :[they look to the heavens and notice a chandelier as an angel chorus sings]

Kronk, Shoulder Angel, and Devil simultaneously

That'll work.

Kronk's Shoulder Devil
[while Kuzco in a bag is about to go over a very large waterfall]

Listen big guy, I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one: [points to Kronk's Shoulder Angel] Look at that guy! He's got that sissy, stringy, music thing.

Kronk's Shoulder Angel

We've been through this; it's a harp, and you know it.

Kronk's Shoulder Devil

All right; that's a harp, and that's a dress.

Kronk's Shoulder Angel

Robe!

Kronk's Shoulder Devil

Reason number two: [as he does a one-handed handstand] Look what I can do!

Kronk

What does that have to do with any—

Kronk's Shoulder Angel

No, no, he's got a point.

Kronk

Look, you guys are confusing me, so, uh.... "be gone", or whatever I do to get rid of you guys.

Kronk's Shoulder Angel and Devil

That'll work. [they poof out of existence]

Kuzco

No touchie.

Pacha

Agh! Demon llama!

Kuzco

Demon llama?! Where![screams]

Chicha

So, what did the emperor want?

Pacha
[clears throat]

Oh, you know what, he couldn't see me.

Chicha
[angrily]

Couldn't see you? Why not?

Pacha

I don't know.

Chicha

Well-well, that's just rude!

Pacha

Well, he is the emperor. I'm sure he's busy.

Chicha

No, 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. This baby's not coming out for while. But even if it was, I'd give that guy a piece of my mind. That kind of behavior just- just- [snorts]. I gotta go wash something.

Chicha
[To Yzma]

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 to tell him you came by.

Yzma

Oh, would you, please? That would be just great. [Yzma makes an exaggerated gesture that makes her knock her tea cup off the table] Oops. Silly me.

Chicha

No no. [exhaustedly] Allow me. [Chicha bends down to get the cup. Because she's pregnant, she has trouble picking it up.]

Pacha
[After a long chase sequence, where Yzma and Kronk fell into a canyon, Kuzco and Pacha have reached Yzma's laboratory and are looking for the human potion in a cabinet]

Let's see. Lions, tigers, bears-

Yzma
[There are no bottles in the human section]

Oh my. [Steps out of a shadow holding the potion] Looking for this?

Kuzco

No, it's impossible! How did you get back here before us?

Yzma

Ah.... [Looks confused] How did we get back here, Kronk?

Kronk

Well, ya got me. [Pulls down a chart displaying the progress of the previous chase] By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense.

Yzma

Oh well. Back to business.

Kuzco
[nervous]

Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been; but Yzma, you really wanna kill me?!

Yzma

Just think of it as...you're being let go. That your life's going in a different direction. That your body is part of a permanent outplacement.

Kronk

Hey, that's kinda like what he said to you when you got fired.

Yzma

I know. It's called a cruel irony. Like my dependence on you.

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
[gasps]

Look how much you've grown!

Chaca

What? Tipo, get out of the way. It's my turn again. Measure me.

Tipo

Dad's home!

Pacha
[Kids Laughing]

Come Here!

Pacha

Hey, ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Come here. Ha ha ha!

Tipo
[All Three Laughing]

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?! [whimpers as cat meows]

Pacha

No, you 2 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]

Pacha
[gasping, continue gasping, inhales, sighs]

Your Highness. Your Highness, can you hear me? Oh, boy. Come on, breathe. Breathe! Ohh. Why me? Ooh! All right. [inhales] Ohh!

Llama Kuzco

Aah!

Llama Kuzco and Pacha
[spit]
Llama Kuzco and Pacha

Ohh!

Pacha
[Kuzco is rinsing his mouth after a failed attempted CPR] [while starting the fire]

For the last time, it was not a kiss.

Llama Kuzco

Well, whatever you call it. [spits water on the fire] 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. [shakes the water out of him, which puts out another fire]

Pacha
[annoyed]

Augh!

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. [builds a house with a rock, sticks, and a leaf] Oh, yeah.

Pacha

Okay, now look. I think we got off on the wrong foot here.

Llama Kuzco
[drying himself with Pacha's poncho]

Um-hm.

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
[mocking]

"Because unless you change your mind, I'm not gonna take you back." Me, me, me. Moo, moo, moo. [throws an acorn at Pacha, who glares at him] Huh? What? I didn't do anything. I didn't do that. Somebody's throwing stuff. You gonna build a fire or what?

Pacha
[sighs; to himself]

He's never going to change his mind.

Llama Kuzco
[sighs; to himself]

How am I ever gonna get out of here? [muttering, shivering, stops shivering]

Yzma
[During Kuzco's "Funeral"]

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
[sobs; tearfully]

Poor little guy.

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! [rips off black cloak to reveal a hot pink extravaganza of an outfit] Back to work. [The attendees quickly toss their candles away and get to work renovating the palace]

Yzma

Kronk, darling, I must admit 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
[nervously]

Uh, do you need to hear all those words exactly?

Yzma
[drops her plate of wings; angrily clenches her teeth]

He's still alive?!

Kronk

Well, he's not as dead as we would have hoped.

Yzma
[face turns red]

Kronk!

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
[awakens and scared in pain]

DAD, LOOK OUT!

Chicha
[to Tipo]

Tipo, what is it?

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

It was 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.

Kids

Night, Mom!

Chaca

Yeah-huh. Yeah-huh.

Tipo

Nuh-uh. Nuh-uh.

Birds
[chirping]
Kuzco
[sighs, sniffs, and gulps]

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? [Kuzco finds Pacha in a field of llamas; to his herd] 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 leave him out there by himself. He's a lousy llama. I mean, a really lousy llama. [smiles at Kuzco, who approaches him]

Llama Kuzco

Hey, listen, Pacha, you know, what I said to you back at the diner, that, I didn't really...

Pacha
[holds up his hand to stop him]

So, you tired of being a llama?

Llama Kuzco
[sniffles and sobs]

YES!! [Kuzco and Pacha rush through the village to Pacha's house]

Pacha

Okay, we're just gonna stop at the house and get some supplies.

Llama Kuzco

And we'll be on our way, right?

Pacha

Right!

Ipo
[They come across Topo and Ipi playing checkers]

Hey there, Pacha! Hey, y'know you just missed your relatives.

Pacha

My relatives?

Ipi

Yeah, we just sent' em up to your house!

Pacha

What did they look like?

Ipi

Well, you see, there was this big guy and this older woman who was... [to Ipo] Well, how would you describe her?

Ipo

Eh, scary beyond all reason.

Ipi

Yeah, that's it.

Chicha
[Both Pacha and Kuzco are in shock] [At Pacha's house, Yzma is having tea with Chicha while posing as a long-lost relative] [pouring tea into Yzma's cup]

So, remind me again how you're related to Pacha?

Yzma

Why, I'm his third cousin's brother's wife's step-niece's great-aunt. [Chicha gives her a suspicious stare; chuckles nervously] Twice removed. [sips her tea]

Chicha

Uh-huh.

Yzma

Isn't that right, Kronk? [Kronk is playing jump rope with Tipo and Chaca]

Chaca

99 monkeys jumping on the bed!

Kronk

One fell off and bumped his head!

Chicha
[Yzma is annoyed]

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 to tell him you came by.

Yzma

Oh, would you, please? That would be just great! [makes an exaggerated gesture that makes her knocks her teacup off the table] Oops. [Nervousness in chuckles] Silly me.

Chicha

No, no. [exhaustively] Allow me. [has trouble picking up a cup while bein' pregnant]

Yzma
[dashes up to Kronk, who is jumping rope with Tipo and Chaca. As she talks to Kronk, she's skipping with him while playing patty-cake]

She's hiding something. When I give the word, we search the house.

Kronk

Okay, but I still have 94 monkeys to go.

Yzma
[groans and cartwheels back to the table after Chicha picks up the cup]

So, while we're waiting for Paca...

Chicha

Pacha.

Yzma

Oh, yes, perhaps we can have a tour of your lovely home.

Chicha

Y'know, why don't you just come back when Pacha gets home? I'm sure he'd love to show you the... [sees Pacha out the window signaling her to meet him in private] Well, excuse me, won't you? I think I left something in the oven. [dashes away] What?! [Back to Kronk, who a has a jump rope in each hand while Tipo and Chaca jump]

Kronk

This is my variation of Double Dutch. On the signal, we switch places.

Yzma

Kronk, it's time.

Kronk

Okay! [With a twirl, Yzma is holding the jump ropes while Kronk is jumping one rope and Tipo and Chaca jump the other; Yzma growls in frustration]

Pacha

So, we have to get back to the palace, find the lab, and change him back.

Llama Kuzco

Hi there! Aah! [Chicha hits him with a frying pan]

Pacha

That was him.

Chicha

Whoops.

Tipo

You know what? I don't believe you're really my great-aunt. You're more like my great-great-great...

Chicha

Go. I'll stall them long enough for you two to get a head start.

Pacha

Thanks, honey.

Llama Kuzco

You have a lovely wife. They're both very pretty.

Tipo

Great-great-great...

Yzma

Grr! All right! Are you through?

Tipo

...great-great-aunt.

Llama Kuzco

Hey, was it a good idea to leave your family with those two?

Pacha

Oh, don't worry. They can handle themselves.

Chicha
[The scene cuts back to at the house, Chicha has managed to shut Yzma and Kronk in a closet by taking away the doorknob]

What do you mean the door's stuck? Try jiggling the handle.

Yzma

There is no handle in here.

Chicha

There's not? Are you sure?

Yzma

Alright, I've had enough of this. Tell us where the talking llama is, and we'll burn your house to the ground.

Kronk

Uh, don't you mean "or"?

Yzma
[annoyed, giving in]

Tell us where the talking llama is, OR we'll burn your house to the ground.

Chaca

Well, which is it? That seems like a pretty crucial conjunction.

Yzma

That's it! Kronk, break the door down!

Kronk

Break it down? Are you kidding me? This is hand-carved mahogany.

Yzma

I don't care, you fool! Get out of my way! I'll break it down myself. One!

Chicha

Okay, kids, you know what to do.

Yzma

Two!

Tipo and Chaca

Right, Mom!

Yzma

Three! [charges through the closet but then slips on a broom held by Tipo, then rides on a wheelbarrow and is covered by honey and feathers; falls out of the wheelbarrow]

Piñata Lady
[The scene cuts to a party where kids are about to whack a pinata]

Okay, children. On you mark, get set... [Yzma takes the place of the pinata] Go!

Yzma
[The kids start batting Yzma with their clubs]

Ow! Stop it, you little brats! [sees Kuzco and Pacha making a run for it] THERE THEY GO, KRONK! THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!

Kronk

Ha ha ha! Well, I had a great time. Let's not wait until the next family reunion to get together.

Yzma

Kronk!

Kronk

I gotta run.
