“Have I gone mad?“

“This is impossible.“

“I’d rather you didn’t.“

“Off with their heads!“

“Only if you believe it is.“

“That is an excellent practice.“

“Alright, that’s enough chatter.“

“At least let me bind it for you?“

“Wait! You can’t leave me here!”

“I’ll be fine as soon as I wake up.“

“And who is this lovely creature?“

“There’s some debate about that.“

“It is far better to be feared… than loved.“

“Do you think I’ve gone ‘round the bend?“

“Why is it you’re always too small or too tall?“

“I happen to love rabbits, especially white ones.“

“Suit yourself. As long as I can get at your neck.“

“What an idea. What a mad, crazy, wonderful idea.“

“You need to talk to someone about these delusions.”

“When you step out to face that creature, you will step out alone.”

“So, I’ve come to you, hoping you might understand what it’s like.“

“You used to be much more…“muchier.” You’ve lost your muchness.“

“You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.”

“Sometimes, I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.“

“You’re not the right man for me. And there’s that trouble with your digestion.“

“I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.“

I’m late, I’m late. For a very important date. No time to say “hello”. Goodbye. I’m late, I’m late, I’m late.

“Shshshsh.” The emperor shooshed her again. “I’m getting to that part.” Kuzco assured her with a scowl. The little blonde girl was the first human he’d seen for miles in this land of madness and he had a lot to talk about. And honestly, whether or not he had a lot to talk about didn’t matter– the emperor LOVED to hear himself talk in general, so this would have been the outcome anyway.
