The Emperor Gets His Groove On
The Opening starts with a shot moving in closer and closer
to the palace. As we're about to enter we hear Kuzco,
V.O. Kuzco:
Lower.
Shot pans down.
A little lower.
Shot pans down a bit more.
Okay, okay a LOT lower.
Shot pans all the way down to Patcha's house.
Well, well, well. Here we go again. The movie was such a
success, that those Disney execs had to milk every last penny out and decided
to make a sequel.
Scene: A large bustling party. Patcha and Chicha are seen,
the kids, etc. Eventually the camera pans down to an enthusiastic Kuzco
dancing.
The film stops and Kuzco is left standing alone. Two men
in black suits walk up and whisper something in Kuzco's ear, he turns white,
grins nervously, steps back in place and the scene starts over.
V.O. Kuzco (Cont'd):
Well, well, well, here we go again with another fine
piece of magnificent Disney entertainment… Hey Patcha!
Cut to: Patcha.
Kuzco prepares a piece of food to throw at Patcha, before
he can throw it, Patcha throws a pile of food, which hits the lens, causing the
two to grin embarrassingly, and make a run for it.
The
Latin-style music comes back in with the title "The Emperor Gets His Groove On"
letters appearing onscreen. The whole party is shown, it becomes apparent that
the house is Pacha's.
Kuzco is seen walking around, mingling.
He is under the alias of Kwazi.
Kuzco V.O.:
How did I end up here? Well, I guess it isn't that bad,
I'm eating cake instead of grass, that and those god-awful spinach puffs…what
was he thinking anyway?
Well, after that little adventure with that woman, whose
face even a mother can't love, I pretty much forgot about Ysma. Except for the
occasional meow. This is more of an adventure of ego.
Well this slightly under funded shindig was in celebration
of the 3rd anniversary of our little adventure. Also, Chicha and her
sister had it in for me and were trying to set me up with every vile character
possible.
Chicha and Sister are seen shoving
odd, weird, and arrogant women to dance with Kuzco, who isn't in emperor
attire, but has a familiar poncho on.
Kuzco moves the women out of the way and grooves by himself,
taking the spotlight. As he walks backwards, he dances into a woman, stepping
on to her foot.
Woman:
Ouch!
Kuzco unfazed, and pleased that Woman doesn't resemble
any of the previous women he has been setup with.
Hey, who do you think you are?
Kuzco:
I'm king of the world, baby!
Kuzco grabs Woman and spins her around the dance floor.
The whole party is seen. Theme Song Guy is seen singing with a latin
band.
TSG:
Thank you!
Applause
We do weddings, divorces, and bar mitzvahs.
A shot of the sky is seen, the moon is luminous and it's
late. A few voices can be heard saying goodbyes, thank yous, etc. Slowly, the
camera moves to inside the house.
Kuzco V.O.:
Well, it was too late to go home….
Kuzco looks around the area with disdain.
And it was apparently too late for a decorator, yeesh.
Kuzco yawns, looks fully partied, and walks to the guestroom.
He tries to open the door, but is shocked to find that the door is locked. He
pauses, and then proceeds to jiggle the living daylight out of the doorknob. In
the midst of this the door opens revealing the Woman from the party. Woman
is just an inch or two smaller than Kuzco's height, she is curvy, with
mocha colored skin, long black hair, deep blue eyes, and full lips with a hint
of red, a few tiny braids, and she is still in her deep red figure fitting
outfit from. Kuzco stops briefly (shocked), and falls to the floor. Woman
looks at Kuzco and smiles at him wryly.
Woman:
Well I guess I'm the real royalty around here 'king boy.'
Kuzco:
Huh?
Woman:
Gestures
You're at my feet.
Kuzco blushes and quickly picks himself up and laughs
nervously. He prepares to tell her off when Chicha walks over with baby Yuri.
Chicha:
Oh, I'm sorry Ku—Kwazi. Imena will be using the guest
room, but don't worry, we have a room for you.
Cut to: Tipo, Yuri, and Chicha's
room.
Kuzco is wedged between the kids on the top bunk. Looking
miserable.
Chica:
Kuzco? Will you have tea with me and molly tomorrow?
Chica shoves a rag doll in Kuzco's face. Tipo
crosses his arms.
Tipo:
Noooo he's going to play checkers with me!
Chica and Tipo continue back and forth with "Nuh-uh's"
and "uh-huhs."
Yuri chimes in with Chica.
Yuri:
Uh-huh!
Everyone pauses and hugs, congratulates, etc Yuri
and then, continue arguing. Kuzco grabs his head in frustration.
The sun shines through the window and slowly the whole
room is revealed, to show Imena sleeping peacefully and looking
beautiful.
Next Shot: Kuzco is sleeping, snoring, his mouth is
hanging open with both kids sleeping in awkward positions, kicking Kuzco.
Kuzco awakens, and making sure of not to awake the children,
walks quietly out. Into the kitchen where Chicha has breakfast prepared.
He greets Chicha and Imena walks into the room, now wearing a tan
and red top and similar skirt.
Chicha:
Good morning, did you sleep well?
Imena glances at Kuzco.
Imena:
Like a king.
Kuzco looks at Imena obnoxiously. Kuzco sits down
with the family and starts to eat. Imena walks over to help out ChiCha
with the dishes.
ChiCha:
So, I see you've met Kwazi.
Imena laughs.
Imena:
You could say, he swept me off my feet…and almost onto the
floor. He bumped into me and then acting obnoxiously, started dancing with me.
Chicha has an odd look on her face.
How do you know Kwazi anyway?
Chicha:
Oh, he's just a friend another village. A few years ago
Pacha helped him through the woods, they've been close friends since.
Imena looks at Chicha oddly.
Imena:
They're friends? He's so rude and obnoxious.
Chicha:
Laughs
You'd be surprised. He has changed for the better
actually.
Imena:
You mean he was worse?
Kuzco looks over at the Chicha and Imena talking,
curious if it's about him. He looks over to Pacha.
Kuzco:
Hey Pach, who's this Ida-Imee-Idma chick?
Pacha:
Chuckles and observes Kuzco watching the other
conversation for a moment.
Her name is Imena. She's an old family friend. She was
orphaned at a young age and our neighbors took her in and raised her. Very nice
folks. She's about 21 I believe….wow has it been that long?
How did you come about meeting Imena?
Kuzco:
Bumped into her last night, she nearly threw off my
groove. Instead of throwing her out a window, I took her for a spin on the
floor. Got my groove back in motion, and no guards necessary.
Pacha:
You see? You're learning. Although I don't think the
violation of personal space was needed, it's still a step in the right
direction.
Kuzco looks slyly at Pacha.
Kuzco:
She loved every minute of it.
Cut to: Back with Chicha and Imena.
Imena:
What a jerk, he just grabbed me, claimed to be king of the
world, and started dancing with me. He stepped all over my feet.
Chicha laughs quietly.
Chicha:
You just have to get to know him, he actually can be very
sweet.
Imena:
That jerk? I doubt it…his breath certainly wasn't.
Back at the breakfast table.
Pacha:
Doubtful/sarcastically
You think so?
Kuzco:
Very confidently
Oh yeah. C'mon on Pacha, you've got to give me more credit
that that. I've had hundreds of girls file in day after day wantin' a piece of
this. I think I know when a girl is diggin' me.
Pacha rolls his eyes.
Deep in the woods Kronk is seen carrying Ysma
on a purple pillow. Ysma is now a platypus.
Ysma:
3000 miles and what do I get, a platypus? We have got to
stop paying up front, really Kronk.
Kronk:
Yeah, I'm sorry about that Ysma. He just seemed so
convincing.
Ysma:
That's what you've said about the last THIRTEEN.
Kronk:
Uh yeah, well… here we are!
A small dark wooden house is seen in the distance. A green
smoke is emanating from the chimney. The sign reads "Madam Mariska's Discount
Spells, Hexes, and Bindings."
Ysma and Kronk walk up to the house slowly.
Shot of: Ysma's evil grin.
