Luz quotes from The Owl House

Camila

Are you ready?

Luz

Are you? I'm not sure what we'll see on the other side.

Camila

[beat] Then we don't wanna leave unprepared. [points to Luz's Good Witch Azura hat on the ground; Luz retrieves and puts it on] A good witch always has to have her hat.

Shoot! Camila still has the car keys!

[deadpan] Oh, hooray, I'm back to normal.

Luz

[hiding and watching with the others] What?

Who's got a pint of Apple Blood? Hoot hoot.

The Collector

[groans] Time out, everyone, time out! Terra, for the last time, Eda doesn't sound like that! She's got more of a, like a... a "cool aunt" vibe who pretends to be all cold-hearted, but actually cares a lot!

Ugh, you're a real thorn in my side, you know that?! I've had it with you and your stupid little dog!

Ugh, whatever. All I have to do is play Eda the Owl Lady and I don't get turned into one of those things, right? Then let's just continue. [mockingly] "Oooh, I like musicians!"

The Collector

[charging up a crescent moon shape] You're not being very nice right now.

[suddenly scared] Wait!

Collector, buddy, you gotta stop doing that. Think about what you're doing to these people!

The Collector

You are so boring! I'm just playing pretend!

Even playing pretend has consequences. [sadly] A cranky old witch taught me that...

The Collector

[excited] You mean Eda, right? That's what we need! The real thing! A cranky, know-it-all mentor figure, no substitutes allowed! Maybe if I ask real nice, I wouldn't have to turn her into a puppet!

N- No! Her curse is still...um...in effect. [the Collector looks disappointed] But I can check if she's feeling better.

The Collector

[smiling] You promise?

You can trust me, Collector.

Camila

[to Luz, as they watch] Is that the little "King" guy you were telling me about?

Luz

[nods and smiles] Mm-hmm.

Camila

[gushing] ¡Ay, qué lindo! (Translation: Oh, how cute!)

Luz

What gives, Kikimora?! Are you working for the Collector?

Kikimora

The days of Kikimora the underling are over. I prefer partnership such as ours. We need to establish our rule now, for the well-being of future generations.

Camila

Okay, I'm still catching up - what's the little red kitten trying to do?

Luz

She's just copying Belos' "scare people into worship" thing, because she has NO IDEAS OF HER OWN!

Luz

[screams in fury] My whole plan fell apart! I-- I messed up again! [throws her witch hat aside]

Camila

What are you talking about?

Luz

[sighs] It doesn't matter. [starts walking away]

Camila

[grabs her daughter's hand, stopping her] No, mija. It does matter. You don't want to leave the Demon Realm, do you?

Luz

Of course not! But...

Camila

You keep messing up? Messing up is a part of living! You don't think I've ever messed up before? Ha! Okay, well, once I scheduled my wisdom tooth surgery the day before my wedding. Oh, then there was that time I got road rage and didn't realize I was cursing out your new principal! And, you know, I sold energy drinks for a pyramid scheme for three years! [starting to tear up] And of course, I was convinced we should move to Gravesfield to be closer to that fancy hospital. You know how that ended. [Luz tears up as well] And worst of all, I didn't stand up for you when you needed me most. [sniffles] I forgot about the Astral Oath.

Luz

... The what?

Camila

The Astral Oath is a promise made between Captain Avery and his family, to love and protect each other, just as they are, through supernovas and solar winds.

Luz

[starting to smile again] Mom... are you a secret nerd?

Camila

I had a hard time growing up. [places Luz's witch hat back on her head and caresses her cheek] I was afraid you would too. My biggest mistake was trying to protect you, by changing this beautiful Good Witch into something she wasn't.

Luz

I think I just realized something... I don't know why it took me so long to figure out. The only thing I've ever really wanted...was to be understood!

Weh?! Luz? [swells into happy tears] LUZ! [pounces towards Luz while laughing, causing Luz to fall backwards]

Luz

Hey, buddy! [chuckles]

Eda

Is that real? Is that Luz? [gasps as she sobs to happy years and runs over to the duo] Are you both really here?

Luz

Get over here, [extends her hand] you witch!

Luz

Collector... you know this can't last forever.

The Collector

[sniffs] Why? 'Cause you know you'll "Luz"? [sees that Luz, King and Eda are willing to listen, and looks sad] I just wanted a friend who wouldn't lie to me, or trick me. But everyone's the same! King lied, Belos lied - even they lied.

Luz

Who's "they"?

The Collector

The Archivists, my siblings. "Oh, let's play a game," they said! "Let's play hide and seek! You go down there and see if the Titans wanna play!" So I played - and it was great! The baby Titans were the cutest, just like King, and they were all so welcoming! But the Archivists were scared of their power. So one by one, they disappeared, until there was only one Titan left - and he thought I was the bad guy! He hid his egg from me and trapped me! But I showed all of them! Even when those Trapper jerks started acting weird! Even when Belos lied to me! I found King! I found the last Titan, and he's my friend now!

[deeply shocked and saddened] Collector...

The Collector

I know it's just pretend! I don't care! I'll pretend as long as I want!

Luz

[sympathetic] But that's not what you want, is it?

The Collector

What do you know?!

Eda

We know what it's like to feel alone.

And abandoned.

Luz

And misunderstood. Hey, what if... we showed you how we became friends?

The Collector

King already told me about your adventures.

Luz

It's different when you can see them. [shows him one of her polaroid pictures] What do you think? Can we tell you our stories?

FINALLY! I CAN CLEANSE THIS PERDITION MYSELF!

Eda

Is that Belos?!

Luz

How'd he get here without a body?!

What do we do?! There's no way we can stop that!

The Collector

[looking determined] Yes, there is. [begins glowing] And I know how. [he flies straight towards Belos, stopping just short of the monster's face]

Luz

No...what is he doing?

The Collector

[smiling] I get it now. You just need kindness and forgiveness, huh? [he hugs Belos's skull, to everyone's shock and confusion, then turns back to the others happily] Luz, look! We can all be buddies now!

Luz

COLLECTOR! [flies out on her staff]

NO!

The Collector

Huh? But... I thought I was doing the right thing!

Luz

[smiling gently] No, no, you did good, Collector. But this is a little more complicated. Don't worry, I think it... missed... me...

The Collector

[scared] Luz... what's happening?

Luz

[starting to tear up] Eda, King... looks like we're gonna be split up again... I feel like I should be used to this feeling by now, but... I still don't know what to say...

The Collector

Where'd she go?

Luz

King?

[chuckles] No. But he does get his good looks from me.

Luz

[shocked] Oh... Titan.

Oh, me! Nice to meet you, Luz the Human.

Luz

[shaking his hand] You can't actually be the Titan Titan, right? You're the Boiling Isles, and that Titan is all--

Dead-looking?

Luz

Does that mean I'm also--? [starts to sink, but the Titan lifts her back up]

Ah, no, nope, no, don't wanna do that. If you go under without a portal, you really will be dead-looking.

Luz

I can't believe this... you're King's dad!

I think King said it best once: "I am both King and Queen, best of both things!" [chuckles] But "Dad" works fine.

Luz

What is this place?

This is the space in between... well, in between a lot of places. And I've been stuck here for quite some time. But at least I can keep an eye on my child, and those who have been kind to him. [gazes into a floating block, showing King spending moments with Luz and Eda]

Luz

[sadly] I'm not so kind. When I saw the Collector fly up to Belos, I hoped with all my heart I would see them blast him away, and... [sighs]

Hey, I can relate. I was willing to do anything to keep my kid safe. [looking remorseful] But I attacked the wrong person. Dragged the Collector down here for nothing.

Luz

Does that make us as bad as Belos?

[chuckles] What? Have you been drinking Eda's homemade Apple Blood?

Luz

Well, Belos says he's trying to save humanity, and we're saying we want to save our families, so isn't that the same thing? Don't—Don't these feelings come from the same place?

Well, you assume Belos's goal comes from a genuine place. But that man doesn't care about about anything but his need to be the hero in his own delusion. And because of that, he fears what he can't control.

Luz

And now that fear is going to win.

[notices Belos' corruption spreading across his chest] Ah, dang... I thought I had more time left. But Belos will have full control soon. You ready to stop him?

Luz

What? What can I do?

You've already helped King so much - so let me use my last bit of life to help you. [extends his hand, with various glyphs appearing on it]

Luz

Are you sure you wanna give this power to me?

Well, you're the one here, and you seem like a good witch. But I can't give you anything unless you choose to accept it. So the question is... will you choose yourself? [Luz takes his hand, and a golden orb surrounds her] Now, Belos will be able to control everything, so you have to defeat him fast.

Luz

But--

And my power won't last forever, so use your time wisely.

Luz

Oh, but what about--

Eda the Owl Lady? [salutes] Send her my regards! Big fan!

Luz

[grabbing his claw] No, King! What about King? Don't you wanna say something to him? [the Titan thinks for a moment, then whispers something in her ear; she chuckles and sheds a tear] Oh... he'll love that. [she sees the Titan's spirit form replaced by his larger, skeletal body, which sinks and disappears into the water]

Goodbye, Luz.

You can't defeat me!

Luz

[grinning] Do not underestimate me, Belos... for I am the good witch Luz! Child of the Human Realm, student of the Demon Realm, and warrior of peace! NOW EAT THIS, SUCKA!!!!! [rips him out of the Titan's heart]

Hurry, hurry! [reverts to her true form as Camila, Luz, and Stringbean follow]

Luz

[covering her eyes] What's the rush, Vee? No one's gonna be made if we're a little late.

Camila

Yes, but today is special.

Luz

Okay, okay.

SURPRISE!

Luz

What is this? [Amity comes over and kisses her while the others cheer and applaud]

Eda

Well, since you spent your fifteenth birthday helping us rebuild the Isles...

And sixteenth, and seventeenth...

Amity

We wanted to make it up to you.

Willow

Camila told us all about your quinceañeras from the human realm.

Gus

[chuckles] And they sounded a lot less haunted than our birthdays.

Lilith

[unravels a scroll] Nevertheless, I made sure we followed Camila's instructions perfectly!

Camila

I...um... [looks over at the piñata, dress, and cake with barely-hidden disgust] Great job, everyone. [gives a thumbs-up] Muy bueno.

And look, look! [draws what turns out to be a new light glyph on the ground; he activates it and the orb of light falls into Luz's hands, to her awe]

Eda

King's powers are getting stronger. Yeah, and it looks like they're different from his dad's. But hey, you've got a whole new glyph language to try out.

Luz

[smiles] Guys...

[runs over to the cliff near the Owl House] We've got another surprise. The Collector was in the area and, well, he wanted to do something special for the occasion. Look!

Luz

[in tears of joy] Eda, King...thank you. For everything.

Eda

Right back at ya, kiddo.

Luz

Weirdos?

[in unison] Weirdos.

Luz

[turns back to the sky and gasps] They're nearly gone...! [rushes forward and faces everyone] Alright, everyone, on the count of three! One, two, three!

BYEEEEEEEEEE!!!
