Chief
[Tulio gasps]

Big smile. Like you mean it. A-one, two, three.

["It's Tough to Be a God" begins]

♪I hardly think I'm qualified. To come across all sanctified. I just don't cut it with the cherubim.♪

[the baby bites Tulio's finger]

Tulio, what are you talking about? ♪There again, they're on their knees. Being worshipped is a breeze. Which rather suits us in. The interim.♪

♪Interim, interim, it's me and him.♪ Oh, my God!

All

♪It's tough to be a god!♪

♪Tread where mortals have not trod. Be deified when really you're a sham!♪

[Altivo bites the fruit]

♪Be an object of devotion, be the subject of psalms!♪

♪It's a rather touching notion! All those prayers and those salaams!♪

♪And who am I to bridle? If I'm forced to be an idol? If they say that I'm a god. That's what I am! What's more if we don't comply, with the locals' wishes, I can see us being sacrificed. Or stuffed.♪

You have a point there. Very good thinking. ♪So let's be gods! The perks are great!♪

Yeah!

♪El Dorado on our plates.♪

Thank you.

♪Local feelings should not be rebuffed.♪

♪Never rebuffed. I never rebuff a local feeling. No, my friend.♪

All

♪It's tough to be a god! But if you get the people's nod! Count your blessings! Yeah, keep 'em sweet! That's our advice!♪

It's great advice!

All

♪Be a symbol of perfection! Be a legend, be a cult! Take their praise, take a collection! As the multitudes exalt!♪

♪Don a supernatural habit!♪

♪We'd be crazy not to grab it!♪

You got it!

All

♪So sign on two new gods for paradise! Paradise!♪
[they both tap their cups, then Chief dances with the group, then Altivo dances, laying down on the ground, fade to black]

[Tzekel-Kan starts to perform a human sacrifice.]

Stop! This is not a proper tribute!

[Miguel rescues the intended victim and drags him to safety.]

You do not want the tribute?

No no, we want tribute. It's just that, um... Tulio, tell him.

The stars are not in position for this tribute!

Like he said! Stars! … Can't do it… Not today.

[While running for their lives, they come to the edge of a roof, quite a distance from the waterfront.]

I'll bet we can make that.

Two pesetas says we can't.

You're on! [They jump of the edge and land in two barrels] You lose.

STOP! [the natives stop; a gold plate rolls toward the cliff and Tulio stops it with his foot] They wish to bask! Take the tribute to the gods' temple!

[After Tulio stops the volcano]

Don't make me start it up again, 'cause I will.

[first words]

Behold! As the prophesies foretold, the time of judgement is now! Citizens, did I not predict that the gods would come to us?

[sees that their longboat could collide with Cortez's warship]

Holy SHIP!

[While cutting down vines]

The trail that we'll blaze... [Vines fall to reveal a rock wall, and Miguel points to the distance to the left] THAT trail that we'll blaze!

Alright, cards on the table. I want you to come to Spain with me and Miguel. Especially me. Mostly me. Only me. Forget Miguel.
