The Owl House Page #3

Season #1 Episode #10: Escape of the Palisman

---

Luz:
I really owe Gus and Willow one. And it's just for the afternoon. I'm sure Eda wouldn't mind.

King:
Not our generous, kindhearted Eda. Big heart on her.

[They stare at each other for a second.]

Luz:
[starts to leave] I'll be back soon.

King:
Close call.

Luz:
[stops leaving] What?

King:
Nothing.

Luz:
Oh, okay. [leaves for real]

King:
Close call. [opens the doors] And now revenge. Right, Owl Eda?

Eda:
[munches a chair]

King:
[chuckles] I'm feeling confident about this plan.

[Cut to the front of the Owl House as Luz opens the door.]

Luz:
To Glandus High.

[She gestures with the staff, hitting Owlbert against the house.]

Owlbert:
[hoots]

Luz:
Oh! Sorry, Owlbert. It's okay. We're just on our way to help some friends.

Willow & Gus: Ooh!

Luz:
Who's ready to board Air Luz?

[They all board the staff.]

Willow:
Feel that power‐to‐weight ratio.

Gus:
[to his flags] Boys, prepare to fly.

Luz:
Next stop, Glandus High. Let's go.

[The staff rises in the air.]

Luz:
Step on it, Owlbert.

[She slaps the staff.]

Owlbert:
[squawks, rushes forward]

All:
Whoa! Whoa!

[The staff does a loop-de-loop, then runs into several trees.]

All:
[grunting] [scream]

[They hit a tree head on. Willow and Gus fall directly into a bush. Luz gets caught on a branch, then falls out of her hoodie.]

Luz:
[grunts]

[Owlbert falls directly on top of his head. He looks at his now cracked head and hoots.]

Luz:
[groans, stands] Is everyone okay? Huh?

Owlbert:
[hoots, twists himself off the staff, flies off]

Luz:
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no! Owlbert, come back!

[Cut to Luz, Willow, and Gus running through the forest.]

Luz:
Owlbert!

[Owlbert hoots as he flies into a foreboding cave.]

All:
[stop running, panting]

Gus:
Man, humans can run. Must be their dorsal fins.

Luz:
He went through those trees. Come on. [starts running]

Willow:
[stops Luz] We have to be careful. It's really easy to get lost in this part of the forest.

Luz:
This is Eda's palisman, Willow. She'll kill me if we don't get it back. Let's go.

[Cut to the inside of the cave. Bats screech as they enter. Bones crunch under their feet.]

Willow:
Wow. I keep stepping on a lot of crunchy twigs.

Luz:
Those are bones, Willow.

Willow:
[looks up] Not if I never look down.

[A shadow passes them.]

All:
[yelp, step closer together]

Luz:
This isn't any kind of forest I'm used to. [pokes a spiderweb with the staff]

Willow:
That's because this isn't a forest.

[The Bat Queen's kids chirp as they approach the teens.]

Willow:
It's a nest.

Luz:
Hey, I remember you. You're Bat Queen's babies.

Bat babies:
[screeching]

Gus:
Wait. The Bat Queen? [backs away]

Willow:
[also backs away] I think I'd rather take my chances with Eda.
