The Owl House Page #4

Season #1 Episode #1: A Lying Witch and a Warden

---

Luz:
Aaah! [falls off the staff]

Eda:
Oops. [screws her hand back on] That happens sometimes.

Luz:
[stands] Well, I've had enough adventure for today. This is clearly not the PG fantasy world I always dreamed about. So, can you help me get back home?

[Eda levels her staff in front of Luz, startling her]

Eda:
Only if you help me first. [chuckles, lifts her staff, and walks away with the bag following her] Ah, now, come along, human.

Luz:
Whoa!

[Cut to a tower, on top of which is an owl with an uncanny human face that cackles. Zoom out as it flies down to reveal the Owl House, which Eda and Luz walk up to]

Luz:
[looking over her shoulder] Aren't you worried about those guards finding us?

Eda:
Nope. My house has a state‐of‐the‐art defense system.

Hooty:
Hoot‐hoot! Password, please!

[Eda pokes both of his eyes]

Hooty:
Aah!

Eda:
We got no time for this, Hooty. Let us in.

Hooty:
All right, all right! Geez! You never want to have any fun! Ow! Hoot!

[Hooty opens his mouth wide enough to completely cover the door. Eda and Luz step through, though Eda's bag stays outside. Hooty closes his mouth]

Hooty:
[burps]

[Cut to inside]

Eda:
Welcome to, [snaps her fingers] the Owl House...

[Candles ignite. A fire in the fireplace starts, a cauldron starts stirring itself, and a broom starts sweeping the floor. Overhead, a depiction of an owl beast of some kind begins to glow with a great screeching noise. Luz looks at all of this in awe]

Eda:
...where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also the cops. Mm, also ex‐boyfriends. [chuckles]

Luz:
This place is beautiful! [puts her book onto a coffee table] Do you live here all alone?

[Thudding footsteps shake the house]

Eda:
Actually, I have a roommate.

King:
[deep voice] Who dares intrude upon I, [normal voice] the king of demons? [squeaks a rubber ducky]

Luz:
[gasps] ¡Ay, que lindo! [runs forward and scoops King up in a hug] Eda, he's so cute! Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you? Is it you?

King:
[struggles to free himself] No! I don't know who your little guy is! Eda, who is this monster?

Eda:
[drags Luz away from King] Oh, this is Luz, the human. [puts her down] She's here to help us with our little... situation.

King:
Oh! Hooray!

Luz:
Wait, wait, wait. I don't like the sound of this "situation".

Eda:
Just... let me explain. [draws a spell circle that darkens and effectively turns into a storybook. Narrating:] King was once a mighty king of demons, until his Crown of Power was stolen, and he became... [cut to Luz hugging King again] this.

Luz:
You mean this little bundle of joy?

Eda:
[narrating:]The crown is being held by the evil Warden Wrath and locked away behind a magical force field that only a human can break through.
