THE PEASANT'S NEW GROOVE

By Micah Hirsh

WRITTEN ON SCREEN

Long ago, somewhere NOT in the jungle…

We open on Pacha, chained to a wall in the dungeon.

PACHA (V.O.)
This is me. I used to just be an ordinary peasant. But one day I met emperor Kuzco and helped save his life. As the years past we became good friends, and he soon invited me and my family to move into his palace. I guess you could say we were living a life of luxury. But one day, all of that would change.

Kuzco had finally come to appreciate what I had done for him. Unfortunately, this proved to be the biggest mistake he would ever make.

Now you're probably wondering how I ended up in this dungeon, so let me explain, it all started about a week ago.

WRITTEN ON SCREEN

About a week ago…

As we flashback to about a week ago, a great big title appears on the screen which reads: "The Emperor's New Groove 3". All of a sudden the film pauses, and Kuzco pops up on screen.

KUZCO

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stop the flick!

This is not "The Emperor's New Groove 3" that would imply that this is MY movie.

This is not my movie. Now now, don't worry, I'm in this movie. It's just not ALL ABOUT ME. It's ALL ABOUT Pacha. So if you don't like it, you know who to blame.

You understand now? No? Let me explain, First there was my movie, (which is of course the best out of the three) Then there was Kronk's movie, and now this is Pacha's movie! Seeing a pattern here?

The point is, this is not about the emperor. So how about instead of the "The Emperor's New Groove 3", we simply, take away the 3.

Kuzco crosses out the 3 on the screen with a red sharpie.

KUZCO

And how about instead of "The Emperor's New Groove", let's make it "The Peasant's New Groove".

Kuzco writes PEASANT over emperor with his red sharpie.

KUZCO

Ah, much better. Well that settles that.

Um, hello?

you can play the rest of the movie now.

The film then begins. We see the Theme Song Guy, holding a banjo, and sitting on a fence, in front of Pacha's hut.

The Theme Song Guy begins to sing a ballad.

During the song, clips from "The Emperor's New Groove" play behind the Theme Song Guy.

THEME SONG GUY

Sit back,

And I'll tell you the story of a man who saved

The emperor's life.

He lived in a hut in a village far away

With his children and his wife!

One day, the emperor

Would invite him to the palace!

The emperor, was selfish,

Spoiled, and he

Was quite callous!

They'd soon embark on one heck of a ride!

For the emperor wanted

To destroy Pacha's village to build

His ultimate summer home, Kuzcotopia,

Complete with water slide!

Pacha, he did not approve!

This threw off the emperor's groove!

But the emperor's ex-advisor Yzma planned,

To poison him

So her

Right hand man,

Kronk prepared a dinner that night,

Soon Kuzco would be out of sight!

They got the potion

Ready for the feast,

So the emperor could be deceased.

They thought the potion

Was a posion

That would kill Kuzco

Dead!

But it just so happens,

It turns out

It was extract

Of llama instead!

Kronk went out of town to finish the job,

To kill Kuzco, it would be quite macabre,

Soon, somehow, by some mistake,

Kuzco, on Pacha's cart

He would take.

And that is when they

Would meet again!

The two had a great big fight and then

Kuzco ran to the jungle where,

He would encounter a

Living nightmare.

But Pacha came to the rescue,

And together,

Both of them,

Yes both of the two,

Would work together

To set things right,

Pacha hoped

That just maybe,

Kuzco might

Build his summer home somewhere else,

Yes, that day the two parallels,

Stopped Yzma, together and then

Kuzco became human again!

And by now,

I bet you're probably guesssin'

The emperor had learned his lesson,

Kuzco didn't build his summer home.

So Pacha and his family,

Were free to roam.

And now after all of these years

Emperor Kuzco, and all of his peers

Invited Pacha and his family

to spend the rest of their lives

In an eternal paradise!

So this is where the story ends,

Let's hope they'll always be friends.

So that's the story,

Now you know.

That's the story

Of Pacha and Kuzco!

Yes, that's the story

Of Pacha and Kuzco!

We then zoom out, to reveal the theme song guy is actually sitting in front of a movie screen. We zoom out to reveal Pacha, and his family, who are now in Kuzco's palace.

KUZCO

Great work Theme Song guy.

Kuzco then gives the Theme Song Guy some money.

KUZCO
Now go and get yourself something nice.

PACHA
It sure was nice of you to invite us to stay in the palace with you Kuzco,

But I…

CHICHA
We'd love to stay here. Right, Pacha?

Chicha gives Pacha a glare, with the intent of getting him to say yes.

PACHA

Of course. We'd love to stay.

KUZCO

Great, I'll show you to your rooms.

The Royal Record Keeper enters the throne room to talk to Kuzco.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

I'm sorry your highness, I'm afraid they can't live with you.

KUZCO

Why not?

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

Because, the law says you can only live in the palace if, You are either part of The emperor's immediate family, or if you are a servant to the emperor.

And since neither Pacha, nor his family are any of these, they cannot stay in the palace.

KUZCO

But, they've been so nice to me, even when I was rude. Inviting them to stay in the palace is the greatest thing I can do for them in return. There's got to be another way.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

Well, there is one other way… But you're not going to like it.

KUZCO
What?

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER
The only other way for Pacha and his family to live here, is if…

Pacha becomes emperor.

Kuzco takes a moment to think about this and makes up his decision.

KUZCO

Alright then, let it be so.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

But you do realize you'll become a peasant and have to leave the palace, right?

KUZCO
Yes.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

And once it's been done there's no turning back.

KUZCO

Fine, just get it over with.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

Alright. I hereby declare you, Pacha, our new emperor!

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER

Kuzco, you may give Pacha your crown, and leave the palace.

KUZCO
Buh-bye Pacha.

PACHA

Kuzco you don't have to do this…

KUZCO
I know I don't have to…

But I want to.

Kuzco leaves. Kronk then enters the room.

KRONK

Alright, I'm back from the little advisor's room, what did I miss?

CHICHA
Kuzco just made Pacha emperor.

KRONK

He did? Oh no! I'm going to have to tell my assistant!

Kronk opens the door to his office, to see his assistant.

KRONK

Zmya, Pacha's emperor now.

KUZCO (V.O.)

Alright now, just to recap for those who don't remember, after I graduated Kuzco Academy,

I made Kronk, my advisor.

Now, in case you haven't figured it out yet, Zmya, Kronk's "assistant", is secretly Yzma in disguise! Don't believe me? Well just watch for yourself.

ZMYA

Yes! I can finally be empress!

KRONK

Zmya, I didn't know you wanted to be empress. You should meet Yzma, I think you two would really get along.

ZMYA

Kronk!

Zmya pulls off her secretary-like disguise to reveal Yzma.

YZMA

It's me, Yzma!

KRONK

Riiiight.

YZMA

Don't you see! I pose as Pacha's royal advisor, gain Pacha's trust, and when he's not looking I throw him in the dungeon! With Pacha missing, and Kuzco having resigned from the throne, I'll take over, and rule the empire! It's brilliant!

KRONK

But, Yzma, Pacha hates you, how on earth are you going to gain his trust?

YZMA

Oh, don't worry Kronk, I have a way.

Now drink this potion!

KRONK

Why?

YZMA

Don't ask why, just drink it!

KRONK

Alright.

We then cut to Pacha in the throne room.

GUARD

Your highness.

Pacha looks around for a moment, then remembers he's emperor now.

GUARD
Your heighness, there's someone here to see you!

PACHA
Alright, show them in.

Yzma walks in to see Pacha.

YZMA

Hello Pacha, long time, no see.

PACHA
Yzma!

Guards, throw her in the dungeon, now!

YZMA

No, please, I've come to repent. I've changed my ways! I've been reformed!

I'm a good person now. I've donated to charities, given to the homeless, Why, I even got a puppy.

Yzma holds up a puppy, with black ears, and a familiar yellow hat. The "puppy" woofs in a very deep and familiar voice.

"PUPPY"

Woof. Woof.

YZMA

See?

PACHA

I don't believe you.

YZMA

Well, why not?

PACHA

Well, because, you're an evil scheming liar.

YZMA
Look, I'll prove to you I've changed. I'll kiss this puppy.

Yzma holds the "puppy" to her lips and prepares to kiss it. The "puppy "quivers in fear and closes his eyes. Just as Yzma's about to kiss the "puppy", Pacha interrupts.

PACHA
Alright! I believe you! You've changed, just, please, let the poor puppy go.

Yzma puts down the puppy, and he runs off in fear. Shortly afterwards we hear a loud crashing sound.

"PUPPY"
I'm OK, I'm fine… I mean… woof.

Yzma hits her forehead in embarrassment, and proceeds to talk to Pacha.

YZMA

So, what do you say? May I be your new royal advisor?

PACHA

Fine.

Yzma then walks off, where she can't be seen, and sees the "puppy" again; the "puppy" is still getting over the fact that Yzma almost kissed him.

"PUPPY"
So, How did it go?

YZMA

It worked! I'm his new advisor!

"PUPPY"

But what about me?

YZMA

Oh don't worry Kronk; I have something special planed for you.

Ahahahah!

The movie pauses again, for Kuzco to pop up, (no longer wearing his crown).Kuzco uses his red sharpie to draw devil horns, a handlebar mustache, and a goatee beard on Yzma.

KUZCO

Okay everyone, listen up, First rule of being emperor: NEVER TRUST YZMA. EVER!

Okay, sorry to interrupt. Back to the movie…

The movie then continues…

We see Pacha in his throne room, with Yzma.

YZMA

So, Pacha, how are you enjoying your new life in the palace?

PACHA

I guess I like it okay. I miss my old hut though.

YZMA

Yes, well, I'm sorry about that.
Kronk!

Kronk walks in the room.

KRONK
Yes, Yzma?

YZMA
Owthray Achapay inway ethay ungeonday.

KRONK

Iiiiiighhtray

Kronk pulls a lever that appears out of nowhere, and Pacha falls through a trap door into the dungeon.

YZMA

Finally! I've done it! I'm Finally Empress! Haha!

The entire palace changes, the throne changes from gold to purple, all the portraits of Pacha and Statues of Pacha change to statues and portraits of Yzma. The gold Inti mask enterance transforms into a purple skull-like façade. The changes expand to the entire kingdom. Yzma watchtowers rise all over the place, a guard is seen painting a purple "Yz" on the Mudka's Meat Hut sign, reading "Yzmudka's Meat Hut, a giant Yzma statue (Parodying the Statue of Liberty) is placed in the center of the empire, and Kuzco Academy is changed to Yzma Acadmey.

We then return to the palace and see Yzma and Kronk again.

YZMA
Perfect! Now the empire is mine! All that's left is to get rid of Kuzco!

Now that Kuzco has moved back into Pacha's old hut, It'll be much easier to destroy the little worm! That tiny friendly village happens to be the perfect spot for me to build…

Yzma walks over to a curtain, and raises it, to reveal a model of a mall.

YZMA

The Yzmall!

KRONK
Hey, that's kind of like when Kuzco was going to build Kuzcotopia on Pacha's village.

YZMA
No, Kronk! This is completely different!

Instead of a summer home, The Yzmall will be the ultimate shopping complex! Complete with Yzma wishing fountain!

KRONK
Ooh! Will it also have one of those funnel things where you toss the coin and it spirals to the bottom?

YZMA
Sure, why not?

KRONK
Oh boy! I can't wait!

YZMA

Kronk.

KRONK

Yes?

YZMA

Remember when I said I had something special planed for you?

KRONK

Yeah?

YZMA

Well here it is…

KRONK

Oh boy, I'm so excited!

YZMA

Kronk, all you need to do is make sure Kuzco never leaves that village.

KRONK
But why?

YZMA
Because, I'm going to destroy that villiage and ensure Kuzco's demise!

KRONK

You're going to destroy a whole village just to kill one guy?

YZMA
Yeah, so.

KRONK
Isn't that taking it just a tad bit too far?

YZMA

You know Kronk, on second thought, you may be right.

You've opened my eyes Kronk, and for that I thank you.

KRONK
Really?

YZMA
No, you're fired.

Yzma pushes a button on the arm of her throne, and Kronk is sprung out of the building.

YZMA

Ahahaha…

Chicha soon interrupts Yzma's evil laughter.

CHICHA
Um, Yzma, where's Pacha?

YZMA

Oh… well…

Yzma thinks for a moment to come up with a lie to explain why Pacha is gone.

YZMA

Chicha, It's so sad.

I don't know how to tell you this,

But Paca…

CHICHA

Pacha.

YZMA
Pacha is dead.

Chicha begins to sob.

CHICHA
But how? How did this happen?

YZMA
I'm not quite sure. I was leaving my office, and when I came in to the throne room, he was lying dead. And in his last words, he said that he wanted me to take his place.

CHICHA

You?

YZMA

Yes, me.

CHICHA
Why would Pacha want you to take his place?

YZMA
Because he trusts me.

CHICHA
What?

YZMA
I know, you're probably thinking, why would Pacha trust someone like me?

Well, I'm not the cruel witch I used to be Chicha, I have improved, and I have made myself a better person.

Chicha begins to cry.

YZMA

Yes, yes, I know this must be very hard for you, but things like this do happen, and we must carry on with our lives. Pacha has moved on to a better place.

We fade into Pacha's "funeral" as Yzma continues her speech.

YZMA

And so, it is with great sadness, that we mourn the departure of our beloved king. Taken from us so tragically, on the very night of which he was instated. His legacy will live on in our hearts for all eternity.

We then see Pacha's family, and other peasants crying.

We see Chicha, who looks down at her youngest child, Yupi.

YUPI
Dada?

CHICHA
I'm afraid dad's gone Yupi.

Chicha then cries.

We cut to see Kronk, falling onto a stack of hay, outside a peasant's hut, causing the hay to make a mess, as the angry peasant leaves his hut to see what the commotion's about, it turns out the peasant is… Kuzco, who is now dressed in clothing very similar to Pacha's garb, but in a smaller size.

KUZCO

Ah! Look what you did! I just finished stacking that hay… oh, hello Kronk.

Kronk stands up and grab's Kuzco.

KRONK

Kuzco, you've got to do something! Yzma threw Pacha in the dungeon and now she's empress.

KUZCO
Whoa, No touchy, remember!

And what did you say about Yzma?

KRONK
She threw Pacha in the dungeon, and now she's empress!

You've got to stop her!

KUZCO

You mean I have to save Pacha?

KRONK
Yes.

KUZCO
Well, it looks like the tables have turned.

KRONK
What?

KUZCO
Don't worry Kronk, Yzma is going down!

KRONK
No! Kuzco! There's Yzma Watchtowers all over the place, there are guards at every corner! It's too dangerous. You can't go!

KUZCO
Well Kronk, if I can't go stop her, why did you ask me to?

KRONK

Uh… I don't know.

KUZCO

Well we can't just let Yzma be empress, who knows what awful things she could do! She could destroy houses, starve families, or even worse, she could turn everyone into llamas!

We must stop her! But we're going to need some help.

KRONK

Well, uh, why don't we ask Malina for help?

KUZCO
No, Kronk that'll never work. Hey, I've got an idea; we'll ask Malina for help!

KRONK
That's what I just said.

KUZCO
No, you said, "Why don't we ask Malina for help?" I said, "we'll ask Malina for help!".

KRONK
Yes, but they're the same thing.

KUZCO
No their not.

KRONK
Yes they are!

KUZCO
How?

KRONK
They mean the same thing.

KUZCO
What?

KRONK
They both involve asking Malina for help.

KUZCO
Oh, so you're saying they mean the same thing.

KRONK
Yeah.

We then cut to Kuzco and Kronk, visiting the headquarters of The Kuzconian Times, where the grumpy editor and chief calls Malina to his desk.

HUACA
Malina! Get in here.

MALINA
Yes Mr. Huaca?

HUACA

As I'm sure you know, The Kuzcoinan Times is up for the Perutzer prize, and since you're our best reporter, I need to you write a report on the new automatic hand dryers they've installed in the restrooms at Kuzco Academy! But I must warn you, our rival, The Daily Llama is competing for the prize as well, so be sure you write an award winning report! Capiche?

MALINA
Yes Mr. Huaca. But I'm not sure a story about hand dryers is really going to be good enough to beat The Daily Llama. And besides, weren't those dryers installed months ago? , no offence, but there's a reason they call it news.

MR. HUACA
Alright Malina, if you can find a new story that's better then the hand dryer story, then I'll let you use it, but if you can't find one before next Friday, you'll have to write about the hand dryers.

MALINA
Yes sir.

HUACA
Finally, I can get some peace and quiet.

Kuzco and Kronk then burst into Huaca's office.

KUZCO
Hi there!

HUACA

What do you two want?

KUZCO

Oh, we're just stopping by to speak with a friend.

KRONK

Yeah, may we speak with Malina, please?

HUACA
Malina! Get in here!

Malina then leaves her office and comes to the front desk.

MALINA

Yes, ?

HUACA

These two gentlemen would like to have a word with you.

KUZCO
Hello, Malina! How does it feel to finally be reunited with your true love?

MALINA

Kuzco, just come into my office.

Kronk and Kuzco look at each other, confused, and shrug and enter Malina's office. Malina shuts the door and begins to talk to them.

MALINA

Alright, what do you guys want?

KUZCO
Yzma's empress now! And she's thrown Pacha in the dungeon!

MALINA

Why would Yzma throw Pacha in the dungeon?

KUZCO

It's a long story; I'll explain it to you on the way to the palace. We've got to rescue him!

KRONK

But Yzma's placed spies and Yzmacops all over the place. We have to be careful.

MALINA

But how are we gonna fight Yzma? It's like we need to form some kind of resistance.

KRONK
You mean like an Yzmutiny?

MALINA
More like a rebellion

KUZCO
I've got it! We'll form the Kuzconian Rebellion!

MALINA

So we'll do it! Everyone agrees?

Alright I think it's time for my reprise!

I'll give them something that's engaging!

KRONK
Give them something entertaining!

MALINA

I'll Give Em' Something New!

This Just in…

Yzma takes over the empire,

her poor assistant Kronk is fired,

So now that I've got a story,
We'll restore the empire's former glory,

And before my report is due,

I'll Give Em' Something New!

Yeah, I said before my report is due,

I'll Give Em' Something New!

I'll

Give

Them

Some

Thing

New!

KUZCO
What, so this is a musical now?

Malina give Kuzco "The Stare" and replies.

MALINA
You got a problem with that?

KUZCO
No… No problem here.

Alright, Kronk, I need you to make a list.

Kronk leaves, then comes back with a notepad and a pencil.

KRONK

Alright, I'm ready.

KUZCO

We're going to need a cool logo, some weapons, and a catsuit.

KRONK
Uh, What's the catsuit for?

KUZCO

No time to explain, we've got to go to the palace.

KRONK
Alright, but were gonna have to stop by Yzmart to pick up some supplies first.

KUZCO
Alright, let's go

We then cut to Malina, Kuzco and Kronk, leaving The Kuzconian Times, and heading for the palace.

MALINA
So, let me get this straight.

To thank Pacha for all he's done for you, you invited him to move into the palace.

But according to the law, the only way for Pacha to live in the palace is for him to be emperor.

You actually gave up your throne to Pacha, and now Yzma's thrown him in the dungeon and taken his place?

KUZCO

Yeah.

MALINA

So, you actually gave up your throne to Pacha?

KUZCO
Yeah.

MALINA

You actually did something for someone else?

KUZCO

Yeah.

MALINA
Well that was very sweet of you Kuzco..., stupid, but sweet.

KRONK

Quick! A guards coming! Act natural.

Kuzco pulls out a handheld mirror, at his reflection, smiling.

MALINA

Kuzco!

KUZCO

What? He said act natural.

GUARD

Halt, peasants!

Where are your uniforms?

KUZCO
What uniforms?

GUARD

All peasants must wear their uniforms before going out in public.

The Guard points to a rack, where several purple uniforms hang. Each uniform consists of a simple purple poncho, with a pink silhouette of Yzma's face on the front. We then close up on Malina, who comes up with a plan to sneak past the guard.

MALINA

Yeah, sorry about that. We were actually just on our way to pick up our's.

GUARD
Alright then, well, you kids have a good day.

The Guard then leaves as the three give a sigh of relief.

KUZCO
Nice save, Malina.

The three then run to get their uniforms, and continue. We cut to see Yzma, talking to a short fat man named GeZun, who is applying to be her royal advisor.

YZMA

So, Mr… uh…

Yzma pulls up Mr. GeZun's business card.

YZMA

GeZun, what makes you think you're applicable to be my royal advisor?

GEZUN
Well, your highness, I think you should chose me because I'm the most experienced in the field.

Music begins, and GeZun starts to sing.

GEZUN
When I was just a lad, on one summer's day,

An audition which I had for my school's stage play,

I auditioned for the part of the advisor,

And this is what they say…said

Oh boy, this boy sure gives some Good Advice!

Oh boy, this boy, he surely sure is nice!

Don't worry, I don't have any lice!

It's Irrelevant, but rhymes with Good Advice!

Oh boy, this boy sure gives some Good advice!

So when you need a recommendation,

I'm the bestest in the nation!

Bestest's not a word

But it fits in the song!

So you can't tell me

That I'm wrong.

So when you need someone to plead!

GeZun is here for all your advising needs!

Don't believe me? Just ask my clients!

We then see each client, talking/singing about GeZun.

MATTA (Waitress)
Oh boy this boy sure gives some good advice.

RUDY (Old man)

Oh boy, this boy surely sure is nice.

UNNAMED PEASANT WOMAN
I wanna give him a great big hug!

We are supposed to cut to the next client, but instead of a client, we see a bug. A monkey soon walks up and eats the bug.

GEZUN

What's with the chimp and the bug?

GeZun waits for an answer, but Yzma just shrugs, so he continues his song.

So if your lookin' for an advisor, trust me there is no one wiser,

If you need an advisor, how about me!

YZMA
That's our advisor

GEZUN
Thank You Yzma! Now that you have me, you're worries are over!

We then cut to Kuzco, Malina, and Kronk who start to get hungry.

KUZCO
I'm getting hungry.

MALINA
We don't have time. If we want to stop Yzma, we can't take a lunch break.

Kuzco's tummy growls.

KUZCO
But Malina!

MALINA

Fine, one quick trip to Mudka's. But that's it!

The three then travel to Mudka's which now is Yzmudka's. We cut to them inside, preparing to order their food as a waitress greets them.

QUECHUA
Welcome to Yzmudka's Meat Hut, home of the famous Yzmug of meat. Hello, my name is Quechua, and I'll be your server today. Can I start you off with something to drink?

KUZCO
Yes, I'd just like some water please.

KRONK
I think I'll have a glass of Yzmilk.

MALINA

I'd like some ice tea please.

QUENCHUA

Sweetened or unsweetened?

MALINA

Sweetened, please.

QUECHUA
Will that be all for you?

MALINA
I think so!

QUECHUA

Alright then, I'll be back with your drinks shortly.

Quilla then leaves to get drinks.

KUZCO
Quick! We need a plan! So how are we gonna save Pacha?

KRONK
Before Yzma fired me; I grabbed a map of her reconstructed palace.

Kronk spreads out a map of Yzma's palace. The palace is shown to be surrounded by a large electric fence, with guards at each corner.

MALINA

It appears Yzma's turned the palace's dungeon into a maximum security prison!

The only way we can break Pacha out, is by breaking ourselves in.

So now all we need to do is figure out how.

KRONK

What about Mrs. Upachal? She's got all kinds of crazy gizmos and gadgets; I'm sure one of them can get us in.

KUZCO
Who?

KRONK
Mrs. Upachal.

KUZCO
Who's that ?

MALINA
The science teacher.

KUZCO
Hmm…where do I know a science teacher?

MALINA
At Kuzco Academy!

KUZCO
Oh, her… Wait, she had a name?

MALINA
Come on, We've got to go now!

A young blonde headed female then walks up to Kuzco.

QUILLA
Oh my gosh! Are you Kuzco?

KUZCO
Why, yes, yes I am.

QUILLA
Kuzco, I'm your biggest fan!

Can I have your autograph? My name's Quilla!

KUZCO
Sure!

Dear Quilla, you are a hottie-hot-hottie, sign Kuzco.

QUILLA
Thanks.

So what are you guys doing?

MALINA
Oh, were just stopping by to get a bite to eat…

KRONK
We're coming up with a plan to stop Yzma and make Kuzco emperor again.

Malina then puts her hand on her forehead, upset with Kronk for revealing their secret.

QUILLA
Ooh! Can I help?

MALINA
Well, thanks for offering to help, Quilla, but we don't…

KUZCO
Sure you can help!

QUILLA
Great!

MALINA
Excuse us for a moment, please.

Malina then leans in to chat with Kuzco privately.

MALINA

Kuzco, something's not right about that girl. We can't trust her.

KUZCO
Oh, you're just jealous because I finally found someone who likes me as much as I do.

Malina sighs with frustration, and the two end their private chat.

KUZCO
So, what are we waiting for? Let's blow this popsicle stand!

QUILLA
So wait… where are we going?

KUZCO
Kuzco Academy.

QUILLA
Where?

KUZCO
Kuzco Academy.

The school I paid for?

Ring a bell?

QUILLA

Oh, you must mean Yzma Academy.

KUZCO
Yzma Academy?

QUILLA
After Yzma became empress she renamed it.

KUZCO
Alright, then we're going to Yzma Academy.

We cut to Chicha, in the royal suite with her kids.

TIPO
I can't believe dad is really gone.

CHACA
How do you know he is?

TIPO
Because Yzma said he was.

CHACA
But you know Yzma, she's evil. She probably made the whole thing up.

TIPO

Nuh-uh.

CHACA

Yuh-huh

TIPO

Nuh-uh

CHACA
Yuh-huh.

TIPO

Nuh-uh

CHACA

Yuh-huh.

CHICHA
Alright you two, it's time for bed.

TIPO
Chaca said she doesn't think dad's dead.

CHACA
I just said he might still be alive; it's not like Yzma hasn't ever lied to us before. You don't really think he's dead, do you mom?

CHICHA

Now, Chaca I have my doubts and suspicions, but it's time to go to bed now. We'll discuss this again in the morning.

We cut to Kuzco, Malina, Kronk and Quilla in Mrs. Upachal's class room.

You need to break Pacha out of Yzma's dungeon?

KUZCO
Yeah, so do you think you can help us out?

MRS. UPACHAL
Yes! I think what you need is science!

KUZCO
Yeah, we're Kind of looking for something more specific.

MR.S. UPACHAL
I think I have just the thing! I call it the Standard Powered Absterge Digging Excavator, also known as The S.P.A.D.E.

KUZCO

Alright, give us four, and then we got to get going.

A large fat muscular bully named Kavo then enters the classroom.

MRS. UPACHAL

Hello Kavo, come in.

KAVO
Kavo told to come here.

KUZCO
Kavo? But I thought you graduated with the rest of us?

KAVO
Kavo held back.

KUZCO

Oh. Me wonder why Kavo held back. Maybe it's 'cause Kavo talk funny.

KAVO
Kuzco making Kavo angry! Kuzco won't like Kavo when he angry.

MALINA
Kuzco, maybe you shouldn't…

KUZCO
Oh, relax. I'm sure Mrs. Upachal won't let Kavo hurt me.

Kuzco then leans on a shelf, knocking it over. At the top of the shelf is a flask with chemicals in it. The flask hits the ground and breaks, and the chemicals end up on Kavo.

KUZCO

Haha! Kavo wet!

MRS. UPACHAL

Oh no! Kuzco! That was my last batch of growth serum!

KUZCO
Growth serum?

Kavo then grows out of the classroom, and chases Kuzco down the hall.

KAVO

Kavo smash!

We then cut to Malina, Kronk, and Quilla.

MALINA
Guys, we've got to do something!

The three then run outside of the academy to look for a solution. Kronk notices a cart full of Yzme dynamite, and walks over to the guards holding it.

GUARD 1

So what do ya think about that Yzmacare health plan?

GUARD 2
Oh it's horrible! I don't want Yzma deciding if I'm sick or not, that's what doctors are for.

GUARD 1
I know, right!

KRONK

Excuse me, gentlemen. You two wouldn't mind if I borrowed some of that dynamite, would you?

GUARD 1 (in a sarcastic sounding voice.)

Oh no, go ahead.

GUARD 2 (in a sarcastic sounding voice.)

Yeah, it's not like we're carrying this cart full of dynamite for any reason.

KRONK
Wait, are you being sarcastic?

GUARD 2

No, go ahead take it. We don't mind.

KRONK
Oh, well Thanks.

Kronk then runs off with the cart of dynamite.

GUARD 1

Why does everyone always think we're being sarcastic?

GUARD 2 ( In Sarcastic voice)

Gee, I don't know.

We cut to Malina and Quilla, waiting for Kronk. Kronk finally arrives with the cart.

KRONK
All right, I figured it out, we're gonna blow up the school.

MALINA
But Kronk, that's dangerous! Someone could get hurt

KRONK
Don't worry, Malina, this is a cartoon, remember.

Kuzco then runs out the school, and Kavo is close behind, but still in the school.

MALINA
Kronk! Now!

Kronk then lights the dynamite, as it approaches the school.

MALINA

Kuzco, duck!

Kuzco ducks and Malina, Kronk, and Quilla hide behind a bench as the school building blows up in a massive explosion. Malina, Kronk, and Quilla come out from behind the bench, and Kuzco stands up, as the four look on the remains of the school.

KUZCO
Way to blow the budget, Kronk.

KRONK
You do realized I just saved your life right?

KUZCO

Yeah, so you don't have to brag about it.

Gees, talk about selfish.

We then cut to Kuzco, Malina, Kronk and Quilla standing outside the maximum security prison-esque Dungeon. Malina is now wearing a skin tight catsuit.

MALINA

Kronk, you distract the guards, while we dig under the fence.

Kuzco

Dig? No way am I digging! I might get dirt on my brand new poncho.

MALINA
Just come on!

Kronk go's to distract a guard, while Malina, Kuzco and Quilla prepare to dig under the fence.

We cut to Kronk, distracting a guard.

KRONK
Excuse me sir, may I please enter the palace?

GUARD
May I first ask why you wish to enter the palace.

KRONK
I need to visit my friend who works at the palace.

GUARD
and what is his name?

KRONK
Hu.

GUARD
You're friend

KRONK
Hu.

GUARD
The one who works in the palace.

Kronk

Hu works in the palace.

GUARD
Your friend.

Kronk

My friend, Hu?

GUARD
Your friend who works in the palace?

KRONK
Yes he does.

GUARD
What's his name?

KRONK

No, Watt's his sister's name.

GUARD
How am I supposed to know his sister's name?

Kronk

His sister's name's Watt.

GUARD
Who's sister?

KRONK
That's right.

GUARD
What's right?

KRONK
No, Watt's left.

GUARD
What?

KRONK
Yes.

GUARD
Who's what?

KRONK
No, Hu's Hu, Hu's sister is Watt.

GUARD
What?

KRONK
That's Hu's sister.

GUARD
Who?

KRONK
That's right.

GUARD
What?

KRONK
Watt's Hu's sister.

GUARD

Hu?

Kronk

Hu's Watt's brother.

GUARD
I don't know.

KRONK

No, Idontno's Hu's mother.

GUARD
You don't know whose mother?

KRONK
Yes I do.

GUARD
But you just said you didn't.

KRONK
No I didn't, I said Idontno's Hu's mother.

GUARD
That's what I said.

KRONK
What's what you said.

GUARD
I just said you don't know whose mother.

KRONK
What?

GUARD
Just forget it!

The Guard then opens the gate, and leaves frustrated as Kronk smiles.

KRONK
Works every time.

Kronk then walks in to the palace, as we cut to later after Kuzco and Quilla have made it to the dungeon, but Malina has yet to make it.

KUZCO
I hope Malina's okay.

QUILLA
I'm sure she's fine Kuzco.

Oh Kuzco, you're so handsome.

I can't keep my eyes off of you!

Kuzco, I don't know how to say this but…

I love you.

KUZCO
I know.

QUILLA

Shut up and kiss me you fool!

The two then kiss, as Quilla pulls out a knife from behind her back, and holds it up, preparing to stab Kuzco.

MALINA
Kuzco! Look out!

Frustrated, Quilla puts the knife behind her back and the two separate.

MALINA

Kuzco, she's trying to kill you! I told you you couldn't trust her.

KUZCO
Oh, Malina, stop making up stories.

QUILLA
I'm afraid she's not making up stories, Kuzco.

KUZCO
What?

QUILLA

She's right Kuzco. Yzma hired me to kill you.

I've been spying on you Kuzco,

I've been watching your every move.

When I saw you at Mudka's I figured that would be just the right moment to gain your trust. I joined your little resistance, so you'd think I was on your side. Then, I tricked you into kissing me, giving me the perfect chance to kill you, until little goodie-two shoes here interrupted.

KUZCO
You mean you're an Yzmole?

QUILLA
That's right, Kuzco. I've come to kill you, and now, it's time to finish the job. Any last words, Kuzco?

Quilla approaches Kuzco with the knife, as Kuzco closes his eyes in fear. All of a sudden, just as she's about to kill Kuzco, Quilla is punched and knocked out by Malina who grabs Kuzco, as the two run into the dungeon.

We cut to Malina and Kuzco meeting up with Kronk at the dungeon enterance.

KRONK
What happened to Quilla?

MALINA
She was an assassin Yzma hired to kill Kuzco.

KRONK

Well, uh, that's not good.

MALINA
Now come on we got to save Pacha.

KUZCO
Um Malina.

MALINA
What now?

KUZCO
We have a bit of a problem

Malina then looks to where Kuzco is pointing, and see's a laser hallway.

KRONK
Uh oh! We can't take any chances; we don't want to trip the alarm. How are we ever gonna make it across?

MALINA
Well, fortunately you know a cheerleader who's been through years of athletic training.

KRONK
Kuzco's a cheerleader?

MALINA
I was talking about me.

KRONK
Oh.

Malina then maneuvers her way through the laser hallway. First Malina splits down on the ground. Then she cartwheels through the lasers, she then roles past the lasers as Kuzco and Kronk watch, and follow her with their eyes.

KUZCO
That is so hot!

Malina then makes it to the end of the laser hall, and turns off the lasers.

MALINA
Come on!

We cut back to Quilla, who awakes from being knocked out, and prepares to continue to complete her mission. All of a sudden the voice of Kronk's shoulder angel then appears.

ANGEL KRONK
You're not really going to kill him are you?

Kronks shouder devil then appears on her other shoulder.

DEVIL KRONK
Go ahead and kill him, he's a sefish jerk anyways.

QUILLA
Um? Who are you?

ANGEL KRONK

We are your conscience.

QUILLA
If you're my concinese, then why do you look like Kronk?

ANGEL KRONK
Oh no! Run! She's on to us!

The shoulder angel and shoulder devil then poof out of site, as Quilla looks confused.

We then cut to Pacha, in the dungeon, as he narrates.

PACHA (V. O.)
Yep, you guessed it. This is where you came in.

Now you know how I got in this dungeon.

We then close up on a profile of Pacha's face.

PACHA
I should of never trusted Yzma. This is all my fault.

Pacha here's Kuzco's voice in the distance.

KUZCO
Pacha!

PACHA
Kuzco?

Kuzco, Malina, and Kronk then run up to Pacha. Kuzco unchains Pacha, setting him free.

PACHA
Kuzco, you came to save me?

KUZCO
Well, Pacha, this is The PEASANT'S New Groove.

Now come on, Pacha, we've got to stop the evil Yzmonster!

MALINA
Would you quit with the Yzma puns?

KUZCO
Fine, but come on! We've got to find Yzma!

KRONK
Well, she's not in the throne room, I checked there.

We hear Quilla's voice in the distance.

QUILLA
It's too late. There's nothing you can do.

MALINA

Quilla? How did you get here before us?

QUILLA

Does anyone really care?

KUZCO, KRONK, PACHA, AND MALINA
No, not really.

QUILLA

Anyways, as I said, it's too late. The empress has headed over to the village square to make an announcement!

KUZCO
We've got to stop her!

MALINA
Come on lets go.

The four leave, and Quilla smiles evilly, and watches them leave, as GeZun enters the dungeon.

GEZUN
You let them go? How could you let them go?

QUILLA
Don't worry, GeZun. Yzma can take care of them from here.

Cut to Kuzco, Kronk, Pacha, and Malina, arriving in the village square(wearing their Yzma poncho uniforms.) We see Yzma, who's giving an important announcement.

YZMA
Attention everyone!

I have important news!

I've found the person responsible for the death of the emperor!

It was Kuzco! As we all know, Kuzco would do anything to keep his position on the throne.

So, out of pure jealousy, Kuzco murdered Pacha, plotting to take his place, and become emperor again! But, in his dying words, Pacha instated me as empress!

UNNAMED PEASANT # 1

Kuzco killed Pacha?

UNNAMED PEASANT # 2

What do we do now?

YZMA
What do we do now?

I'll tell you what we do now!

Yzma then hikes up her skirt, as we see the peasants scream with fear.

PEASANTS
Ahh!

Yzma then pulls out a torch, as the crowd sighs.

YZMA
We must destroy Kuzco!

PEASANTS

Oh, okay.

We then cut back to Yzma, whose torch has now been lighted.

YZMA
After all, he killed the emperor!
Who knows what he might do next!

TALL FEMALE PEASANT
He could terrorise the village!

OLD PEASANT
He could plunder

He could pillage!

SHORT AND FAT PEASANT

Or give our llamas an unnecessary trim!

YZMA

So you see, there's only one thing to do

Looks like we're all going to have to…

Destroy Him!

PEASANTS
Destroy Him!

Destroy Him!

Destroy!
Destroy!

Destroy!

Destroy Him!

The angry mob sees Kuzco, and chases him.

Malina, Kuzco, Pacha, and Kronk then run.

MALINA
Come on Kuzco!

We've got to go!

PACHA
They are all out to destroy

You!

KUZCO
What are we going to do?

PACHA
Let's head back to my old hut,

And once we're there

Then we will shut…

The door!

KUZCO
If we go there, will we be safe?

MALINA
Or will it already be too late?

Malina then looks back to see the peasants and Yzma, who are hot on their trail!

PEASANTS

Destroy Him!
Destroy Him!

Destroy!

Destroy!
Destroy!

Destroy Him!

MALINA
Hurry up they're on our six!

PACHA
We're almost there, so don't panic!

KUZCO
Six and Panic do not rhyme!

MALINA
That's what you'd call an off rhyme,

I can't explain 'cause we don't have time!

The four then make to Pacha/Kuzco's hut, and shut the door. However, outside the peasants are using a battering ram to break into the hut.

PEASANTS
Destroy him!
Destroy Him!

Destroy!

Destroy!
Destroy!

Destroy Him!

The peasants break the door down, and enter the hut, followed by Yzma.

YZMA
Destroy him!

Pacha then stops the peasants before they can destroy Kuzco.

PACHA
Stop!

YZMA
Oh Pacha, how good to see you're still alive.

PACHA
Yzma lied to you! I'm not dead!
She threw me in the dungeon!

SHORT FAT PEASANT
Get her!

Yzma then backs out of the hut, as the peasants follow her.

YZMA
Please, please, I can explain! Kronk! Help?

KRONK
No Yzma! This time you're on your own! I have had it with you always pushing me around.

"Let's kill Kuzco, so I can take over the empire!" "Let's fail Kuzco, so I can become empress!"

It's always ME! ME! ME! Well what about me Yzma? Did you ever think about what I want?
No. I'm not taking orders from you anymore! I am tired of…

YZMA
Shut up, Kronk.

KRONK
Yes mam.

Yzma then throws a potion on the floor, causing pink smoke to erupt. When the smoke clears, Yzma is gone.

KUZCO
Where'd she go?

MALINA
Kuzco, look!

We see Yzma running into the jungle, and then cut back to the group.

KUZCO
We've got to go stop her!

The four run into the jungle, to chase Yzma.

We then cut to Yzma, running through the jungle, when she sees Bucky the squirrel.

Bucky squeaks to Yzma.

YZMA
Oh, well, if it isn't you again.

You repulsive little rodent!

Bucky is offended, and squeaks again, calling an army of squirrels, who chase after Yzma, pelting her with nuts.

Kuzco, Malina, and Kronk then arrive to see Bucky.

MALINA

Kronk, ask him if he's seen Yzma.

KRONK
Sure can do!

Squeakin-squeaker?

Bucky then squeaks back to Kronk.

KRONK
Well, what do you know, he says he has.

Isn't that convenient!

MALINA
Just ask him which way she went!

KRONK

Uh, squeakity-squeak, squeakin?

Bucky then points to the left, as the four leave, and head in that direction.

The four then run, and end up in the palace, they find Yzma, at the entrance to the secret lab.

KUZCO

There she is!

PACHA
Get her!

YZMA
You'll have to catch me first!

Yzma pulls the right lever, and the wall flips. The wall then flips again, to reveal the two levers.

MALINA
Pull the lever, Kronk!

Kronk pulls the lever, and Malina falls into a crocodile pit.

MALINA
Wrong lever!

A door then opens to reveal Malina, who's been bitten by a crocodile, which she then slaps, causing it to scamper away.

MALINA
Okay, why does she even have that lever?

KUZCO
That's what I want to know!

Malina then walks up to the four and pulls the other lever, causing the group to fall onto a bench.

Over shoulder restraints then lower onto each member of the group.

RIDE ANNOUNCER

Welcome to the Secret Lab Drop O' Doom. Enjoy the ride and beware of hitchhiking llamas.

The bench then drops down a vertical track, and the group lands in the lab.

MALINA
Come on! We got to stop Yzma!

YZMA
Looking for me?

KUZCO
Yzma!

The four prepare to attack Yzma, but Yzma stops them.

YZMA
Not so fast!

Yzma pulls out a vial with a pink potion in it.

KUZCO
Oh no! A vial of pink stuff!

YZMA
This is my most powerful, most evil potion ever.

Just one drop and I'll become invincible!

MALINA
We've got to stop her before she drinks the potion!

KUZCO

Don't worry, I've seen her try to trick us like this before, she'll probably just turn into a harmless little animal, like a cat…

KRONK
Or a rabbit.

KUZCO
Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Yzma drinks the potion, and smoke forms, as she transforms into a giant purple T-Rex.

KUZCO
…or not.

YZMA
Now, no one can stop me!

Yzma begins chasing the four through the lab.

KUZCO
Hah! I always said Yzma was an old dinosaur.

MALINA
This is no time for your ironic quips, Kuzco.

KUZCO
Quick, everybody grab a potion, one of these is going to have to stop her!

Each of them grabs a potion, and they run towards the catacombs, with Yzma close behind.

YZMA
Soon, you will all suffer my wrath!

KUZCO
Pacha! Throw your potion!

Pacha throws a potion at Yzma, causing to transform into a large python.

KUZCO
That can't be good.

YZMA
Don't worry, Kuzzzco!

Soon it'll be over for you, and your friends.

And then you'll all be hissstory.

KUZCO
Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass on that offer.

The three then run up the stairs, and through the catacombs. They reach a bridge, just as Yzma catches up with them.

KRONK
Don't worry! We still have three potions left!

Kronk throws a potion at Yzma, causing her to transform into a giant shark.

We hear cracks in the bridge.

KRONK
Uh oh. We're gonna need a bigger bridge.

The weight of the shark causes the bridge to collapse, as everyone falls into the waters of the moat below.

The group swim further down the moat, as the Yzma shark follows.

MALINA
Come on!

Malina throws another potion at Yzma, causing her to transform into a crocodile!

Crocodile Yzma then chases the group to the shallowest point of the moat, were she has the group cornered.

YZMA
Tick, tock! Times running out!

MALINA
Kuzco! You have the last potion!

Kuzco throws the last potion, as we see Kuzco, Malina, Kronk, and Pacha's faces, struck with terror.

We then pan to Yzma, to reveal she's been turned back to normal. Yzma then chases the group to the roof of the palace, where GeZun, Quilla, and several guards are waiting.

KUZCO
Oh no! We're too late!

QUILLA
Hello, Kuzco.

KUZCO
Pacha, this is Quilla, Quilla, this is Pacha.

KRONK

And I'm Kronk!

KUZCO
Yes, yes you are.

(Chicha notices Pacha is alive and runs to hug and kiss him.)

CHICHA
Pacha! You're alive.

CHACA (To Tipo.)
I told you so.

Tipo stares back at Chaca, merely sticking his tongue out, as the two go to hug their dad.

CHACA AND TIPO
Dad!

YZMA
Ah, the royal family is reunited once again. And just in time to watch their precious little village be destroyed! Everything they've ever cared about, gone! To make way for the Yzmall! Movie theaters, arcades, shopping! The Yzmall will have everything! And Pacha will have nothing! After all Kuzco, he's the one who caused all this trouble! The taste of revenge is something sweet, isn't it Kuzco. Just think, everyone who's ever troubled you, gone!

KUZCO
Those villagers haven't troubled me! You want to know who's really troubled me, Yzma? Look in the mirror! You may have think you have everything Yzma, but you want to know the truth?

You have NOTHING!

And I don't care if I'm emperor or not. I'll still have something you'll never have.

I have friends!

Kuzco then begins to sing.

KUZCO

I was never really known for being humble,

Kindness was a word I did not know.

But one day into my life, he would stumble,

Forever this would change the status quo,
And even when

I was rude to him

He'd show

He cared for me

He was kind to me

And that is how he changed me so.

PACHA

I was always taught, there was some good in everyone.

When I met him, I began to have some doubt.

But then when

I was in great danger

He stepped in, and he helped me out.

And when he helped that is when I realized,

Now I know what friendship's all about.

KUZCO
Even though we both may have our differences,

Together we will carry on,

Together we will still be strong,

As long as we have someone on which we can depend.

'Cause you ain't got nothing,

If You Don't Have a Friend.

PACHA AND KUZCO
Yes, we we'll be friends forever.

Together, till the end.

'Cause you ain't got nothing,

If You Don't Have a Friend.

GEZUN
Aww, how sweet, too bad I'm going to have to kill you.

KUZCO
Listen! Before you kill us, I have a few words to say.

I've made a lot of mistakes in the past.

KRONK, MALINA AND PACHA
That's true.

KUZCO
Maybe I shouldn't have fired Yzma, or planned to build my pool on Pacha's hut, or convinced the exterminator Pacha's house was infested with termites, or tricked Tipo into eating that week old Meat Mug, or turned Guaca's hut into a bowling alley, or…

MALINA
Okay, we get it!

KUZCO
The point is, I'm sorry, Yzma. Sometimes it takes you a while to realize, that everything you need, is already there. Sometimes you need to appreciate what you have. Sometimes you can't let the bad things in life get you down. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in. Sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you. No matter what, there will always be someone out there who believes in you. And sometimes you need to treat others with respect and dignity, or they just might turn on you. So Yzma, I ask you, kill me if you must, but please, don't kill my friends.

They're not to blame. I am.

YZMA
Well, Kuzco, that was a very moving speech.

KUZCO
Thanks.

YZMA
Now kill them!

GEZUN
Yes, your highness. But first, your crown, it appears to have a smudge on it. Let me polish that up for you.

YZMA
Alright, GeZun, but do it quickly! We can't have them escape!

GEZUN
Oh, and your highness, one more thing, my liege…

YZMA
What now?

GEZUN
Bye bye!

GeZun pulls a lever, sending Yzma dropping down a trap door into the dungeon. Gezun then puts on the crown.

GEZUN
Hah! Boom baby! Now I'm in charge!

KRONK
Whoa, I did not see that coming.

GEZUN
And as my first order of business…

Guards, execute them!

KUZCO
Kronk now would be a great time for those weapons I asked you to get.

KRONK
Okay, here ya go. Sorry, there's only one. That was all they had left.

KUZCO
What is this? Some kind of pole?

KRONK
No, it's a spear. The head fell off in the checkout line.

Kuzco shrugs, and uses the pole like a fighting staff against the guards. Kuzco knocks a couple of guards out, then one of the guards grabs Kuzco by the shoulders, Kuzco hits the guard in the groin with the stick, as the guard falls over in pain.

KUZCO
No touchy.

We then cut to Malina who is fighting more guards. Malina double-jump kicks two guards and then uppercuts another guard.

We cut to Kronk, who body slams, a guard. We next cut to Pacha who cross punches two guards and then backhand punches a guard who sneaks up behind him.

We cut to Quilla, watching, as Kronk's shoulder angel returns.

ANGEL KRONK

You know, now would be a great time to have a sudden and unexplained change of heart.

QUILLA
If I help them, will you leave me alone?

ANGEL KRONK
Maybe.

Quilla then grabs GeZun's crown, and holds it in the air.

QUILLA
Kuzco! Catch!

Quilla then throws the crown to Kuzco, who catches it.

Gezun laugh's evilly, and touches his head to feel his crown, only to realize it's gone.

GEZUN
Hey! Where's my crown?

KUZCO
Hey Gezun! Looking for this?

GeZun then runs up to grab the crown.

GEZUN
Give me that!

Kuzco stops Gezun with his hand. Gezun runs in place frustrated, and then bites Kuzco's hand.

KUZCO
Ow!

Kuzco drops the crown, causing it to fall off the roof. Then Gezun runs off the edge of the roof to grab it. He then looks down to realize he's in the middle of the air.

GEZUN
Uh-oh!

Gezun then falls, as he screams.

GEZUN
Ahhhhhhhhh!-

We then cut to the crown falling.

We then cut to Gezun falling, screaming.

Then the crown. Then GeZun falling.

Then the crown. Then GeZun falling.

Then the crown. Then GeZun falling.

Then the crown. Then GeZun falling.

Then the crown. Then GeZun falling.

GEZUN

How tall is this palace?

We cut back to the crown falling.

We then cut to GeZun falling.

We cut to the bottom of the palace, where a Giant trampoline can be seen.

A guard stands near the trampoline, talking to the delivery man who delivered it.

GUARD
You know, this is really getting old.

Just when it seems GeZun's going to land in the trampoline, he narrowly misses, and crashes to the ground. The crown, however, does land in the trampoline, bouncing back to the top of the palace, as Kuzco catches it.

KUZCO
Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh uh huh uh huh! I'm emperor again!

The Royal Record Keeper then appears, and takes the crown from Kuzco.

ROYAL RECORD KEEPER
Congratulations, Kuzco, you've stopped Yzma and GeZun!
Now Pacha may return to his duties as emperor.

KUZCO
Oh right, I forgot about that.

The Royal Record Keeper then places the crown on Pacha, however Pacha takes it off.

PACHA
Listen, Kuzco. I'm not the emperor. You are. I can't accept this. You're the true emperor, not me.

This crown belongs to you.

Pacha kneels down at Kuzco, offering his the crown back.

KUZCO
Oh, thanks but I couldn't possibly.

Well, if you insist…

We then cut to the inside of the palace, where Kuzco kicks open a pair of double doors.

KUZCO
Hah! Boom baby!

We then zoom out to reveal a huge "Welcome Back" party, a crowd with several peasants, including Pacha and his family, Malina and her family, Kronk and his family, and Quilla and her family.

Kuzco runs up to Pacha, to say hi.

KUZCO
Hey there Pacha, how've you been?

PACHA
Good how are you.

KUZCO
Oh, I'm fine. Just been busy doing emperor things.

PACHA
I want you to know I'm sorry about what happened with Yzma.

KUZCO
No, it's okay, it's my fault really.

I should have warned you not to trust her.

Kuzco then walks over to see Malina and Quilla, who are now good friends and are chatting.

KUZCO
Hello ladies.

MALINA
Hey Kuzco! My article on your return to the throne won the Perutzer prize!

Kuzco

Well Malina, I'm glad to hear it.

The two girls then kiss Kuzco on the cheeks, causing him to faint. We then cut to Pacha, with his family.

CHICHA
Pacha, Kuzco just saved your life!

PACHA

Well, now were even.

Pacha and Chicha then kiss, as their children watch, in disgust.

We then pan to reveal the Theme Song Guy, who sings a reprise of Pacha's theme song.

THEME SONG GUY

Sit back and I'll tell you the story

Of Pacha and Kuzco.

The peasant and the emperor,

Put on one heck of a show.

Kuzco invited his

Friend Pacha to come and live

In his home, the palace,

It was the best gift he could give.

But there was a tiny flaw,

For you see

There was a little law,

And the only way the

Palace could be Pacha's home,

Was if Pacha would take Kuzco's place,

If Kuzco would give Pacha his throne.

So, out of generosity,

Kuzco had Pacha instated.

Kuzco left his home, the palace,

Where he had originated.

But soon, Yzma,

That wicked witch,

She concocted an evil scheme,

To trick Pacha into thinking

That she had been redeemed.

So that poor Pacha,

He had known no wiser!

He hired Yzma

To become his new royal advisor!

Kronk, was fired,

Yzma let him go,

And that is when he warned Kuzco.

Now, that nasty old Yzma,

She couldn't have been meaner!

Kuzco and Kronk, went

To ask for help

From their dear friend,

Malina.

The three formed a rebellion,

A team that would resist

Yzma's evil tyranny!

Yzma ruled

With an iron fist!

The three broke Pacha out

Of the royal dungeon.

The chase was on to find Yzma

When, the village

She would summon

To chase Kuzco

All through the town

But they made it out okay.

They went to the palace,

Where a fight would end the day.

They chased Yzma to the top,

Of the palace, when,

Her new advisor,

GeZun would betray her there and then.

But luckily, the four of them!
Kuzco, Kronk, Malina and Pacha

Worked together to stop Gezun

And then it was pretty soon

That the day had well been saved.

You see, first Pacha helped save Kuzco's life.

Now Kuzco helped saved his.

So now there even,

Balanced out,

No need for notes,

There won't be a quiz.

So that is how the story ends!

Let's hope they'll always be friends!

So that's the story!

Now you know!

That's the story!

Now you know!
That's the story!
Now you know!

That's the story

Of Pacha and Kuzco!

Yes, that's the story of Pacha and Kuzco!

We then cut to a jail cell, where we see Guards throwing GeZun in the dungeon.

GEZUN
No please, it was just a joke; I didn't really mean to hurt anyone.

The guard then throws GeZun in the dungeon.

YZMA

Hello, GeZun.

GEZUN
Oh, hi Yzma.

YZMA
GeZun, you betrayed me…

GEZUN
Yeah, about that, Yzma I'm sorry…

YZMA
Good work!

GEZUN

What?

YZMA

Good work, plotting to pose as my advisor, so you could take the throne.

You've proved yourself to be a worthy successor,

So I propose a toast to your cleverness!

Yzma pulls out two glasses of wine, and hands one to GeZun. She then raises her glass.

GeZun raises his, as the two toast.

GEZUN
Thank you, Yzma.

YZMA
No, GeZun. Thank you.

Gezun drinks the wine, as Yzma watches, with an evil smile on her face.

We then see GeZun transform into a mouse.

GEZUN
Okay, What did you put in my drink?

YZMA
Oh, just a little mouse potion.

GEZUN

A mouse potion?

Why'd you want to turn me into a mouse?

YZMA
Well, I have to have something for lunch, don't I?

GEZUN

I beg your pardon?

Yzma then drinks her wine, and transforms into a cat. Yzma stares at GeZun, with an evil smile, showing her sharp teeth, as Yzma retracts her claws, ready to attack GeZun.

GEZUN
Nice Kitty.

THE END
