A scene from Kronk's New Groove 2005
Kronk

Papi, I have a confession. I'm not who you think I am. I'm just a humble fry cook. And head delivery boy. That's not all. Chicha's not my wife. None of these folks are my wives. And these aren't my kids. Not even the ones who really are kids. Yeah, and that big house up on the hill, that's not mine either. And Pachita not even a woman. [Pacha takes off his woman's hat disguise] I lied to you, Papi. I just wanted you to be proud of me. I just wanted to get one of these. [holds up a thumbs up] But all I ever got from you was… [Papi gives him a scowled look on his face] Yeah, that. I'm a failure. The truth is I've got nothing.

Chaca
[walks up to him]

But Kronk, you've got us.

Kronk

And I wouldn't trade you guys for anything.

Papi

Well, that would explain why you don't have anything.

Rudy

For your information, Kronk used to have a big house.

Ipi

On a hill.

Topo

But he gave it away to us old folks.

Chaca

And he had a girlfriend too. They baked us raisin bread.

Mata

He gave up all those things to protect his friends.

Kronk

You were actually listening to my stories?

Mata

I was weeping on the inside.

Kronk

Wait a second. I really wouldn't trade you guys for anything. Not even for a thumbs up. You see, Papi, you may look at my life and think I've got nothing, but the truth is… I've got everything.

Papi

Not yet, you don't. [gives his son a thumbs up and smiles] I'm proud of you, son.
