'''Pacha''': Why should I risk my life for a ''selfish brat'' like you?! I was always taught that there was some good in everyone, but ooh, you proved me wrong!\\

** It doesn't work, but after Yzma insults Kronk's food, he throws a chandelier on her. Don't mess with nice guys!

-->'''Pacha:''' You okay? You alright?
-->'''Kuzco:''' Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm alright!
-->'''Pacha:''' Good! [[MegatonPunch *POW!*]] ''That's'' for going back on your promise!

-->'''Kuzco''': ''(kicks Pacha away)'' Yah! ''That's'' for kidnapping me and taking me to your village, which I'm still gonna destroy, by the way! Ah ha ha...[[OhCrap No touchy!]] ''(Pacha slams him into the cliffside)''

-->'''Kuzco''': Oh, boo hoo. Now I feel really bad. ''[slaps own face]'' ''[[SarcasmMode Bad llama!]]''
-->'''Pacha''': I could've let you die out there in that jungle, and then all my problems would be over!
-->'''Kuzco''': Well, that makes you ugly ''and'' stupid.
-->'''Pacha''': Let's ''end this''.
-->'''Kuzco''': Ladies first!

* Kuzco basically telling his narrator self-- who has been labeling himself as a victim who didn't deserve anything that happened to him-- to sod off during the halfway point, signaling his character development.
** It's also [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments really funny, in spite of the situation that's being presented,]] when you consider that [[BreakingTheFourthWall Kuzco as the llama is basically talking to himself as the Narrator.]]

** When they go over the falls, you can hear Kuzco screaming "BOOYAH!"
* Pacha forgiving Kuzco in the meadow. When you consider that Kuzco double-crossed him twice (and mocked him about it), it shows incredible moral character. He doesn't even ''need'' the apology Kuzco tries to give him.
** And just like that, they storm off like there’s no tomorrow. Pacha unconditionally helps Kuzco because he realizes saving an empire from Yzma is far more urgent than saving his home. That being said and though we don’t see the whole conversation, Pacha likely had to come to Kuzco’s defense speaking with his wife, who had a lot of grievances against him.
* A minor example is the palace dinner scene, where Kronk manages to gloss over losing track of which drink had the poison in it by mixing all the drinks together. He even manages to remember to warn Yzma not to drink hers. For a big ditzy guy with the [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny attention span of a teaspoon]], that's pretty impressive.

* As the now-llama Kuzco is barking at Pacha to help him get back to the palace, Pacha silently realizes that the odds are now in his favor (as Kuzco would be completely helpless without him) and, after thinking about it for a moment, gives Kuzco an ultimatum with cool confidence.

* Kuzco basically telling his narrator self-- who has been labeling himself as a victim who didn't deserve anything that happened to him-- to piss off during the halfway point, signaling his character development.

-->"Build your summer home somewhere else."

-->'''Pacha:''' "You okay? You alright?"
-->'''Kuzco:''' "Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm alright!"
-->'''Pacha:''' "Good!" [[MegatonPunch *POW!*]] "''That's'' for going back on your promise!"

*** Immediately afterwards, Kuzco-as-a-llama gamely attempting to start a new life as an ordinary llama, even trying to eat the not-so-tasty grass. (Granted, he finds it obviously inedible, but still. Points for trying.)

* Even in her kitten form, Yzma is still a threat and tears into Kuzco and Kronk and nearly manages to get the potion several times.

--> When I give the word, your little town thingy will be bye-bye. *[[MoodWhiplash changes]] [[AffablyEvil tone]]* Bye-bye!
** Pacha deserves a bit of credit in that scene, too. Despite Kuzco being the ruler of the entire kingdom, and guards surrounding him, he ''still'' stands up to the emperor and prepares to tell him off for being such a JerkAss: "Wait, you ''can't''--" He even seems ready to get physical with Kuzco, which takes a lot of chutzpah.

* When Kuzco and Pacha [[spoiler:use a back to back wall climbing method [[ChekhovsSkill the second time]]]].

* At the beginning of the move, when Kuzco was selfish enough to demolish a village to build his summer home, he gives Pacha a thinly veiled threat. The awesome part is that, out of context, it would sound [[{{Narm}} corny]]. But David Spade makes it sound so chilling...

** When he's mistaken for the cook at the GreasySpoon, Kronk looks on in shock as he's given the long, [[MotorMouth rapid-fire]] list of orders, even trying to correct the waitress beforehand. But when asked if he got it all, he repeats the whole order in HashHouseLingo without missing a beat and not only delivers it, but ''excels'' and keeps right on cooking.
