Eda quotes from The Owl House

Luz

Flying staffs, crazy monsters, you're a witch! What is this place?!

Eda

This is the Boiling Isles. Every myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours.

Luz

[as a griffin resembling the model she made at school flies near] A griffin! [it barfs spiders] I knew it!

Eda

Yep. Griffins, vampires, giraffes...

Luz

Giraffes?

Eda

Oh yeah. We banished those guys. Bunch of freaks.

Eda

Welcome to...The Owl House. Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the cops, and also ex-boyfriends.

Luz

This place is beautiful. Do you live here all alone?

Eda

Actually, I have a roommate.

[in a deep voice] Who dares intrude upon I, [voice lightens] the king of demons?!

Luz

¡AY QUE LINDO! Eda, he's so cute! Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you? Is it you? [hugs him]

[struggles to escape, horrified] NO! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR "LITTLE GUY" IS! EDA, WHO IS THIS MONSTER?!

Eda

[pulls Luz away from King] Oh, this is Luz, the human. She's here to help us with our little...situation.

Oh! Hooray!

Luz

I'm just confused.

Eda

Thinking of calling it quits, huh?

Luz

This place is nothing like I imagined.

Eda

Hmm... maybe not here. But come with me. I got something to show you.

Eda

Okay, you can look.

Luz

[takes the blindfold off] Whoa!

Eda

The bones of the Isles. Up close, the Isles can be slimy...

And very stinky.

Eda

And gross. But if you look at it from a different perspective...

Luz

It's beautiful.

Yeah...

Luz

Eda, how did you know that wizard was lying?

Eda

Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they're "chosen". But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, [chuckling slightly] we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself.

Luz

Does that mean you'll give me a magic staff of my own?

Eda

Not yet. But... someday.

Luz

[after the Owl Beast runs away] Oh man, did you see her eyes? They were all like "ahhh!' [sticks her tongue out] What happened to her?

Don't you see? The elixir I gave you doesn't give Eda powers! It prevents her from turning into THAT thing! She's turned into a nightmare and it's all my fault! I'm so sorry, Luz. I just wanted you to be into demons like you're into magic. I don't have many friends and no one even pays that much attention to me. I thought maybe if I taught you finally someone would care about creatures like me.

Luz

[holds up her pen] Well, lets finish the lesson.

Huh?

Luz

Eda's turned into some kind of demon, and we need to save her. So who knows more about demons than the best teacher in the world?

[happily points to himself while Luz nods, smiling. He leaps into her arms, giggling happily. Then, he sets down some leaves and begins to draw on them] Lets see, she was bigger, covered in feathers, and had giant black eyes. Demons with black eyes are usually sensitive to light. [sees Luz's phone in her pocket] That's it, light! Luz, use your human wonder rectangle!

Luz

I can't, my camera's all blasted.

Then... what about that light spell?

Luz

[sighs] You saw me, I can't draw circles in the air. I'm not like Eda. [plays Eda's video]

Eda

[on video] Spell circle is really key because- [the phone glitches]

Luz

[gasps] There's a pattern in the spell circle!

What? Where?

Luz

[takes a leaf to trace the spell circle] It looks like this. [she draws the pattern and taps it with her pen, making it glow] There. [Luz gasps, amazed, as the leaf turns into a glowing ball of light. She cups it in her hands] It's beautiful. Oh my gosh, I just did magic. [jumps up] I just did magic! I just did magic!

Shhh! We're not gonna stop anything with something that small!

Luz

Gus, I'd love to go to school with you, but I don't know how I can. Principal Bump banned me from Hexside.

Eda

But nothing. Bump did you a favor. There ain't nothing for you at that dweebus factory. [to Gus] No offense, dweebus.

Gus

It's okay. I come from a long line of dweebuses.

Luz

[slams down the box she was holding] Well, I would love to go some day. Better than unpacking boxes in the Eda Coven.

Eda

[standing] Oh, you think you're clever, huh?

Ooooh! Fight, fight, fight!

Eda

Can it, King! First off, it's the "Bad Girl Coven". And second off, I guess you don't want in on the T-shirt order, huh? [pulls out a piece of paper with a "Bad Girl Coven" shirt drawn on it; rock music plays]

Luz

I don't care about T-shirts, Eda! I want to learn magic, and they teach that at Hexside!

Eda

I mean... yeah, well... [grunts, starts walking out] I don't wanna hear another word about Hexside! Unless it's "Hexside is on fire" and "let's grab front row seats"! [slams the door behind her]

[looking sad] Aw, look what you did. [gleefully] I'm gonna go rub it in! Nyeh! [follows Eda, laughing]

Gus

Luz? A-About the ban... I, uh... used my H.A.S. presidential authority to pull some strings! You've been given a full pardon!

Luz

You mean...?

Gus

I got the ban lifted!

Luz

[excited, grabs and shakes Gus] Oh my gosh! Yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll be there tomorrow! Gus, this will be great! [jumping on the couch] I get to see the school, and save the president!

Gus

Great! I'll see you tomorrow! [leaves the Owl House] Yes! You did it, Gus! [dances to some music] You did it, Gus! You're the smartest, you're the best!

Hooty

Sweet moves, little dude.

Gus

[yelps in shock] I always forget you're there!

Hooty

I forget I'm here too... Boop!

Private Hooty, today, when the felt flew, you showed grit and determination that were instrumental in securing our victory. May I just say, it has been an honour to be your commander?

Hooty

Sir, the honour is all mine!

[hugging him] Private, our hearts have been touched by fire, and--

Eda

[arriving home with Luz] Ahem! What the heck did you two get into?!

Um, excuse me?! We're having a moment here!

Hooty

[dramatically] You'll never understand what we've been through together! Never! Never!

Ugh, moment ruined. [walks away]

Hooty

[cheerfully] I will be haunted by my actions forever. Hoot hoot!

Lilith

[while fighting Eda] It's sad to see you slowing down, sister. Tell me, is it the curse?

Eda

Maybe it is the curse. But then how pathetic are you, that you can't best me at my worst?!

Lilith

Maybe you are stronger than me, but that made me work smarter! I became sharp, crafty!

Eda

A lapdog for a tyrant!

Lilith

You always thought you were better than me! That I could never beat you in anything!

Eda

I am better than you!

Lilith

[enraged] THEN WHY WERE YOU SO EASY TO CURSE?!

Luz

Whoa, what's going on?

They're probably prepping for the annual Coven Day Parade. Floats, streamers, fireworks--

Eda

Ah, it's just a fancy way to kiss the Emperor'ssssss... [Luz covers King's ears and glares at her] whatever! I'm just here to pick something up.

Eda

[about Raine] If they're here for the parade, they'll probably be surrounded by scouts. Oh, we'd need someone on the inside to lend us a hand.

Luz

Hmm... [she sees Kikimora tripping over a plank of wood and being walked over by scouts, then turns to Eda with a sly smile] Hmm?

Eda

[snorts] Yeah, right. As if she'd give us the time of day.

Kikimora

And then... and then she... she said if I don't make it back for the family reunion, I'd be banished from Palm Stings and the family home! But I've failed too many missions, and if I leave my job now, I'll be banished from my LIFE! [breaks down crying]

Luz

[patting her] There you go. It's gonna be okay. Maybe there's a way we can help each other out-- WHOA!

Eda

[pulling Luz up by the hood] Are you out of your mind?! Kikimora nearly turned me to stone, she attacked you back in Latissa, and she didn't blink when your girlfriend was thrown down a pit! Oh, she is bad! And not the hot kinda bad...

Luz

But this could be your way to talk to Raine! Isn't it worth the risk?

Eda

[folding her arms] Mmmaybe.... but what're you getting out of this?

Kikimora

On the one hand, I miss my family, on the other, Belos is not a forgiving man, but I'm just a party planner at this point...

Luz

[sweating slightly] I'm... just a sucker for romantic reunions?

Eda

[frowns for a moment] This is true. Ugh, fine!

Kikimora

Fine? What's fine? What are you cretins planning?

Luz

Worry not, Kikimora. We're gonna help you... by kidnapping you and Raine!

WHAT?!

Luz

Let's go over the plan one more time. King and Hooty will pilot the float during the parade. Once it gets to the halfway point, you two will set off all the glyphs, potions, and fireworks to distract people.

With my love of mayhem and Hooty's desperate need for attention, this'll be a cake walk! [Hooty nods]

Luz

When Kikimora sends off the guards to investigate, that's when Eda and I will obscure the stage and whisk her and Raine away. The Coven can't banish Kiki if she's missing! She'll get the best of both worlds! She'll set an example for us all!

Luz

[nervously chuckles] Um, I mean... Eda gets to talk to Raine! It's romantic!

Eda

[blushing] Oh, it's not that romantic.

Hooty

Witch, this is peak of Mount Romance.

Hooty, what would you know?

Hooty

I've been around!

Eda

Listen, Belos has been Emperor for fifty years. Everyone is used to this. No one's gonna risk change unless you have proof that he's up to something. [sees Luz looking dejected] Ah, come on. We'll figure something out. But first, let's see if there are any respectable criminals left in this city.

Luz

I hate seeing people look at Eda that way. But how can I prove he's actually evil? It feels so obvious, but no one believes me! No one answers my letters! [groans] I don't know what to do!

No one wants to think they've wasted their life following the wrong person. You just gotta find something big to change their minds.

Eda

Raine, why didn't you tell me anything? I could've helped.

Is it so unbelievable that I wanted to keep you safe? But, in typical Eda fashion, you're not gonna stop until you make things right.

Eda

[smiles] I guess not.

Lilith

Things aren't hopeless. They have a plan to stop Belos and the Draining Spell!

Luz

[gasps] Really?! Wait, wait, before you get into that, please tell me you have a cool rebel name!

Actually, we do. Allow me to introduce...

Wait, hold on.

The Covens Against the Throne...

We talked about this, you promised!

AKA...

[angered] I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS NAME!

The CATs!

Luz

[pulls up the cat-eared hood on her hoodie] Everything's come full circle, baby!

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?
