Cornelia Hale quotes from W.I.T.C.H.

Cornelia

[in a costume] Would someone explain how that man could look at me and think camel?!

Cornelia, our project's supposed to prove that too much fertilizer reverses osmosis, killing the plants! Yours has grown like three inches.

Cornelia

Well I tried to kill it! I fertilized its little butt off!

Irma

[whistfully] The judge!

Irma

Oh great. You and your little girly fists are gonna cost us a ribbon.

Will

Oh, Hay Lin, I got your note. Thanks so much for the invitation. So, what time are we eating?

Cornelia

She invited "new girl", too?

Cornelia!

Will

Want a cookie?

Cornelia

Have you guys noticed a bunch of real strange stuff going on around me lately?

Irma

Oh dear, the conversation has accidentally wandered away from Cornelia's life, whatever were we thinking?

Let me tell you girls a story, that I believe will have special meaning for all five of you.

Grandma, they really don't want to hear a story.

Shh!

The universe was once a single kingdom ruled by good, but evil began to take root. A veil was created to isolate the evil kingdom of Meridian from all other worlds. Without the protection of this veil, every world including Earth is in terrible danger. Meridian has been overtaken by a powerful entity named Phobos, but he is not the legitimate ruler, they believe the true heir to the throne is somewhere here on Earth.

Irma

Um, I'd like to wake up now.

But portals have begun to open in the Veil, doorways through which evil can cross between worlds. There are people called Guardians, whose job it is to close these holes using their powers.

I became a Guardian when I was your age, but now the duty is passing to your generation.

Cornelia

Well, thanks for the snacks.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

This is the Heart of Kandrakar, which contains the elementary forces of nature. In the last few days, you have all had unusual experiences. Am I right?

Irma

Not counting this one.

All five of you are starting to notice extraordinary abilities. Irma, you will have noticed any water near you behaving strangely.

Irma

Okay, all righty!

Taranee, I believe you've always been afraid of fire. But focus now on the candle.

My little Hay Lin, this morning you notice your power over air.

To you Cornelia, is given the power over earth.

All five of you will get better with your powers...I hope.

Uh, recap? We've got to protect the world from evil by repairing holes in some kinda Veil?

Cornelia

This doesn't involve sewing does it?

Cornelia

[to Hay Lin] No offense to your grandma or anything but she's, like, completely deluded. Probably not enough Vitamin D.

What about the flower that grew when you just looked at it? And the water in Irma's glass... and that picture Mrs. Lin drew in the air?

Cornelia

[dismissively] Magic tricks! Ten bucks on the Internet.

Will

[after the girls transform into guardians for the first time] Holy cow!

Irma

[to Hay Lin, about their outfits] You know? Somehow I cannot imagine your grandma wearing that.

What have we got behind us?

Cornelia

[looking at her chest] What have we got in front of us?

They're wings! We've got wings

Will

They can’t be wings. If they were wings, when we went like this [flaps her wings], we'd... [takes off] aaaaaaah!

Oh man. I hate heights. I get woozy in high-heeled shoes.

Irma

This totally rocks! You do something!

See?! That's exactly why I don't like fire!

Cornelia

Irma, you're water! Put it out!

Will

It's Class Picture Day tomorrow, do you guys get dressed up?

What?! No!

Irma

Cornelia started shopping for it in kindergarten.

Cornelia

[to Hay Lin] Whoa, slow down, Tinkerbell! We can rescue this rebel leader guy after Picture Day, right?

Call me a wimp, but in the school yearbook I'd like to still have a face.

Irma

Forget Picture Day! I don't care what I look like, I care about who I am. Let's go kick some Meridian butt! [trying to sway Cornelia] Maybe there'll be some cute evil boys over there. Like the one that snake-thing caught!

Will

I want to go, but I don't know how much help we’re going to be by soaking him and covering him with garbage.

Cornelia

Nice shoes. Are you going to the Land Of Oz after school?

Like you didn't dress up.

Cornelia

Well, we all knew I was lying. [about Taranee] Oh, and here comes Miss "I-get-dizzy-in-high-heels." [indicating Taranee's extra book bag] Is that for your cape and tiara?

It's Will's backpack! I found it lying on the sidewalk. The crystal's still in it.

Maybe she just dropped it?

And didn't notice? Get real, her Science textbook alone must weigh 20 pounds!

Irma

[discovering a portal in the school basement] Will's on the other side of that?

Cornelia

This is crazy. [indicating the Heart of Kandrakhar] Until Will puts that on, we don't even have any powers! We're taking the word of what? Some jewelry? To save a person we hardly know?

Irma

Cornelia, her name is Will, and she's in horrible danger.

Yeah, last year I was the 'new girl'.

Irma

I like her. She's funny and smart.

Look, you don't have to come if you don't want to.

Cornelia

Ugh, okay, guilt me, why don't you. But no way I'm going first. [Hay Lin and Taranee enter the portal] And last I'll just chicken out.

Irma

Well, I won't. I'll go last.

Cornelia

Then you have to do something.

Irma

What do I have to do?

Cornelia

Push me!

Irma

My pleasure.

Cornelia

Huh, you know, I was wrong. I should go last.

Irma

No, you were right. I should push you! [Pushes Cornelia through the portal]

Will

[The other Guardians have found her] You guys came for me! You really are my friends.

Cornelia

Well of course, silly.
