Scenes with Chel
15 scenes Chel My only wish is to serve the gods.
Miguel and Tulio!
Tulio and Miguel!
Together
Mighty and powerful gods!
Chel Hello.
[both squeal]
Back mortal, before we strike you with a lightning bolt!
Chel [calmly]
Save it for the High Priest, honey, you're gonna need it.
Chel Oh, then I suppose you'll be wanting these back? [produces Tulio's dice in her hand]
Hey, Chel, what's going on?
Chel It's not gonna be good.
Thank you.
Chel Go ahead. I'll cover for you.
Oh, yeah, thanks. So, what happened to Altivo? [He ducks out of sight.]
Chel I dunno.
Chel I dunno.
Oh my God, he's gone! He's loose! What am I gonna do?!
I'm not really sure I trust you.
Chel Mmm… I'm not really asking you to trust me, am I?
Hmm… 'kay.
Chel The High Priest? What's he gonna think if he finds one of the gods like this with me?
Uh, "Lucky God"?
Hmm. [scratches the stone] Miguel. Miguel, wake up. We're there. Oh, yeah. We found it. We found it?
Oh! Fantastic! Where is it? How far?
Right here!
Where?
Here.
Behind the rock?
No, no. This is it.
Apparently, "El Dorado" is native for... "Great... Big... ROCK!" [silence, as "ROCK!" echoes] Hey, but I tell you what. I'm feeling generous, so you can have my share!
Tulio, you don't think, Cortes could've gotten here before us and, and-
And what? Taken all the really big rocks? The scoundrel!
Tulio, you... We have to think about this. We've come all this way, and we should really, you know...
Get on the horse!
[Miguel sighs]
No, no, no, not with the face. [picks Miguel up] Stop. [clears throat] Looks like there's a pass right over there.
Miguel and Tulio
[A woman she named Chel. She runs up to hold bag of gold? A Tulio and Miguel, bumping to Altivo, then Altivo walks backwards, then the guards run up, then they gasp]
Hyah!
[the guards stop by Tulio and Miguel, then Altivo snorts, then Chel throws a rock to Tulio, then Tulio throws a rock to Chel, then throwing the rock back and forth] [chuckling]
I've... [the rock hits Tulio]
Uh, hello. Is this your rock? Sorry. We were just looking. We're, uh... We're tourists! Tourist. [clears throat] We lost our group. May we go now?
Chel [Acolyte points the spear, then the guards follow by Acolyte, the Bibo looks at the stone, then the guard takes the rock to Chel]
Hey! Hey!
[Bibo looks at the guards, looking at the guards, then Acolyte walks in the waterfall, then they walk in the cave, then they get off of Altivo, then they walk in the boat, then Chel sits in the boat, then Miguel whistles, then the rocks fall down, then they look at the vines, gasping, then they all look at the light, gasping]
Oh, my... It's... It's...
Men
[whispering]
El Dorado.
[the boats continue riding down, with butterflies flying up, then Miguel looks at the fish, then Altivo puts a tail in the boat, then a boy walking with a woman with a pot, dropping it, then Bibo swims in a backstroke, then the boat arrives at the building, with a man running in the building, then cut to Chief, with a man whispering at Chief, then Acolyte walks in a building by Tzekel-Kan, chanting, then Acolyte whispers to Tzekel-Kan, pushing Acolyte, then cut back to Tulio and Miguel, walking up to the building]
[Chel and Tulio kiss heavily off-screen.]
My Lords? [Chel stops kissing Tulio and sits up in horror. Tulio comes up, and his hair and face are messed up.] Hello?
Chel [pushes Tulio down]
The High Priest!
Ow!
Chel [horrified gasp]
What's he gonna think if he finds one of the Gods like this with me?!
Chel J-Just- just- just... [frustratedly fixes Tulio's hair] Ohh!
Hello? [Chel kicks Tulio toward Tzekel-Kan]
Whoa! Oh, Tzekel-Kan! What brings you here?
I humbly request to have an audience with you, my lord.
Lord, yes. What can I do for you?
My Lord, I have just seen Lord Miguel out among the people.
Really?
If I may be so bold as to offer some advice?
[Chel facepalms and groans in frustration. Tzekel-Kan fails to notice this]
My Lord, you are perfect.
Oh. Well, go on.
But in your perfection, you cannot know how imperfect humans are. [begins to conjure menacing images] They're like snakes, they are, spineless and slippery. They are as untrustworthy as rats, stealing and cheating, with no remorse. [takes a bite out of a conjured pear then spits it out] Spinning webs of lies, like spiders! [crushes a conjured spider in his hand]
Yeah, yeah! Way beyond!
Then we're in agreement, I shall think the proper preparations. Now, do you wish to have your victims bound to altar, or would you prefer them free range? And will you devour their essence whole, or piece-by-piece?
My Lord, these people will not respect if they do not fear you.
And, of course, we will make them fear us, by, uh--
By sacrifice! As it is prophesied, the history of the Age of the Jaguar will be written in--
Ink?
Blood!
Blood! Oh! Oh, yes. This is very important stuff. I should tell Lord Miguel about this blood issue right away. [to Chel] Come on, honey. Let's go.
Chel Mm-hmm.
[laughing]
I don't think so. I... I'll tell you what. Uh, I'll let you come back to Spain with us, like you wanted, and, um, yeah, I can see my way clear to throwing you, mmm, ten percent?
Chel [chuckling]
You know, maybe I won't go to Spain with you and take a third. [grabs a plate]
Ohh! Like you don't wanna go to Spain.
Chel Oh, like you don't want me to want to go to Spain.
I want you to want...
Chel Mm-hmm?
...what you want.
Chel Mm-hmm. Go on.
All right. Cards on the table. Uh, I want you to come to Spain with me and Miguel. Mostly me. Especially me. Only me. Forget Miguel.
Chel Well, as long as that's what you want. Me too.
Okay. Deal?
Chel [drops the plate]
Deal. [kisses Tulio]
[Altivo walks to Miguel, gasping]
"Forget Miguel"? [sniffling] Well, forget Tulio. [walks down by Altivo]
[Altivo walks down by Miguel]
Chief Tanni! Chief Tanni! I've decided to stay.
Oh, this is wonderful news. What a glorious day for El Dorado. Lord Miguel has decided to live among us!
Chel Tulio! Is everything okay?
[Miguel walks away by Altivo, then Altivo looks at Miguel walking away]
Whoa. Whoa, boy, what is it? [Altivo nickers, then they hear explosions, looking at Miguel along with Chel and Tulio]
Cortes.
Man
[panicked]
Chief Tanni! Chief Tanni! Approaching the city, is an army of strangers.
We are safe here. They'll never find the gate to the city.
Man
But, sire, they are being led by Tzekel-Kan.
Then how can we stop them?
We can't.
Chel Uh-huh. And?
Here's the gate.
Chel Okay.
Here's the boat.
Chel Got that. And?
Well, here's the "goat," and here's the "bate."
Chel Tulio!
[Tulio his Bibo, who stops drinking his cup, spilling water out, knocking the necklace] [gasping]
That's it. We'll crash the boat into the pillars.
Chel That's it? I mean... But... [scoffs] What about the gold?
Well... [sobbing, in a whinny voice] Chief! [clears throat, in a normal voice] Chief. I've got a plan.
Cortes
[cut to Crotes and the guards, and Tzekel-Kan]
It better be there, for your sake.
[Tulio rows a boat, then Chel shakes her head, looking at Miguel]
Okay, chief, on my signal! Ready! HIT THE PILLARS!
NOW!
[the man uses a log to push and break the whole rocks, then Tulio looks at the whole rocks breaking]
They're breaking too fast!
Chel Tulio, the sail!
[the men try to pull a statue, breaking the ropes, then they both shout, then Chief gasps, grabbing the ropes]
They're not gonna make it. Altivo! [jumps on Altivo, running to the boat]
Are you crazy?
[Miguel and Altivo jump on the boat in slow motion, then they continue pulling, then flying in slow motion, grabbing the sail]
Get off the boat, Miguel, or you'll never see the city again.
I know. [takes the hat off] You don't think I'm gonna let you have all the fun, do you? Come on. We've got a wave to catch. [grabs a paddle to Tulio, pointing to Chief]
[they all release the statue, then Miguel yells, then Chel whimpers, then grabbing a lever]
Get out of the way!
Huh?
Chel Huh?
[they all go in the cave, breaking the sail, then knocking the gold on the walls]
We're gonna have to hit it BROADSIDE!
THAT'S YOUR PLAN? But the gold!
I know!
[the boat stops on a wall, then they all jump out of the boat, then they splash in the water, with rocks falling in the water, with waterfall spitting out, then they all cough] [panting]
We made it. It worked. [chuckling] It worked.
Chel Wait. Get down! [grabs Tulio] There they are. [they all look at Cortes and Tzekel-Kan]
Cortes
[walks to Tzekel-Kan]
You lying heathen. There's nothing here at all.
No. Wait. Wait.
Cortes
[pushes Tzekel-Kan]
Men, seize him!
WHAT? [the men grab Tzekel-Kan]
Cortes
There is no El Dorado here. Onward, men. [the guards continues takes Tzekel-Kan away, gasps, then Chel waves]
Chel [they all look at the guards taking Tzekel-Kan away, then Altivo blows, then they all laugh]
Yes!
Now that was an adventure.
Yes. Yes, it was. And, um... [sobbing] ...it was so much gold!
Chel [to Tulio]
Good. [kisses Tulio] Let's go.
Partner.
Chel [last lines]
Hey, guys. Come on! You don't want to stay here forever, do you?
But, uh, we don't have a map.
We don't have a plan.
Chel Well, that's what makes it interesting. [Altivo nods in agreement]
What are we waiting for? [Miguel and Tulio go on Altivo]
Chel Let's follow that trail! Hyah! [Miguel and Tulio fall off Altivo] Come on, boys!
Sit, boy! Sit! [the screen puts up "The End"]
[gets back up.]
Chel, we're not on the horse! [they both run to get Altivo as Chel laughs; as the end credits begin, the armadillo chases some butterflies and grabs and eats one, ending the movie and continues the end credits]
