The Owl House Page #3

Season #1 Episode #6: Hooty's Moving Hassle

---

[The demon nods with a grunt. A smaller lizard-like creature pops out of its eye socket and points to a foreboding stand. Eda approaches it. The demon eats the lizard. Cut to the Owl House, still walking through the forest. Boscha walks past with a crow phone and a duffel bag.]

Willow:
Hey, is that...

Gus:
It's Boscha. That girl who made fun of us.

Boscha:
[to the crow] Ugh! Yes, Mom. I'm going to a moonlight conjuring. No, Mom. You can't come. And yes, Mom, it's sad that you're asking.

[She lets go of the crow, which caws as it flies away. She turns around and sees the Owl House.]

Willow:
She noticed us. What do we do?

Luz:
Hmm. [to Boscha through a megaphone] Hey. H‐Hey you. You should, uh, stop being so mean to people. You're kind of a jerk.

[all laugh]

Boscha:
Ew. A talking house is giving me a lecture? Whatever. I'll just TP you like I did with the rest of the neighborhood.

Luz:
But don't you see? I am no mere house.

[The House stands as Luz roars. Boscha screams and runs away. The other three laugh.]

Gus:
I've never pranked anyone before. And now I have a taste for it.

Willow:
We should follow her to Amity's house to show off our conjuring. That will show her who's got no talent.

[Luz looks at the moon, which is nearly at the treetops and still going down.]

Luz:
Actually, I'm starting to think we should head back.

Gus:
Amity's updating her Penstagram.

Luz:
"Shout out to my fellow witches. #Humans can bite it." [gasps] Let's do it.

[The House continues walking as they all cheer. Several shadowed figures fly after them. Cut to Eda approaching the stand and peeking through its curtain.]

Eda:
Hello? Uh, I seek the one they call Grimm Hammer.

Tibbles:
[ominously] I'm the one they call Grimm Hammer.

[The curtains raise. A pig demon jumps onto the counter.]

Tibbles:
[normal voice] Welcome, welcome, welcome. I've got weaponry from the Hinterlands, curses from the Winterlands, and jelly beans.

[He tosses the jelly beans like confetti. King reaches for them and catches one.]

King:
Jelly beans!

Tibbles:
They're lethally delicious.

[King opens his mouth to eat it anyway. Eda knocks it out of his hand.]

Eda:
You are Grimm Hammer?

Tibbles:
Tibblet‐Tibblie Grimm Hammer the third. Please, call me Tibbles.

King:
[laughs] He wants to be called that.

Eda:
Okay, Tibbles. I need some of this elixir. [hands him an empty bottle]

Tibbles:
Oh. This is one wicked brew. Lucky for you, [grabs one with his tail] I just stocked up.

Eda:
Huzzam! I'll give you ten snails.

Tibbles:
Add two more zeros and it's a deal.

Eda:
A thousand snails? What kind of game are you playing?

Tibbles:
Capitalism. Where everyone wins, [goes further into his stand] except you.

Eda:
Hey! [notices a deck of cards] Say, you play Hexes Hold'em?

King:
Really? Now?

Tibbles:
Oh! Is that what that game is called? [chuckles and returns to the counter] I was just using these as coasters.

Eda:
How about we make it interesting? I win, you give me the elixir. You win, you can take something of mine.

Tibbles:
Oh, what fun. You're on.

[Eda smirks. Cut to Bonesborough, through which the Owl House walks. People on the streets scream and run for cover. Cut to a large manor with a gate reading "BLIGHT MANOR" in front of it.]

Willow:
Look, Amity's house. Time to show Amity what a real conjuring looks like.

[The House starts forward, but is stopped by a giant rope over the roof.]

All:
Wha‐‐

Willow:
What happened?

Luz:
Is that a... giant crossbow?

[Demon Hunter #1 gives the signal for the crossbow to be shot. A second giant bolt and rope secure the house further. Demon Hunter #1 jumps up in front of the kids.]

Demon Hunter #1:
Knock, knock.

[all gasp]

[Cut to the Owl House tied down a large cart being pushed through the woods by demon hunters. One stands atop a cliff and blows into a horn. Cut to the front door, Hooty making strange noises as Luz, tied to Willow and Gus inside, kicks at it.]

Luz:
Hooty! Hooty! You have to wake up!

Hooty:
If you want this to end as you say, three must hold hands. It's the only way.

Luz:
¡Oye, no me hable así! Willow, will you help me out with Hooty?

Willow:
I'm sorry, Luz. You shouldn't ask me to help with anything.

Luz:
Willow.

[All scream and grunt as the House stops moving.]

Luz:
Did the house stop moving?

Gus:
Uh, my insides didn't.

[The door squeaks open, making the three of them whimper.]

Demon Hunter #1:
[laughing]

[Cut to the demon hunter shoving the three of them out of the Owl House.]

All:
Ow! Ow! Ow! [all scream, grunt]

Demon Hunter #1:
Take the house and rip out the house demon. We can sell it to restaurants as exotic meat.

Luz:
No! Hooty would taste terrible.

Hooty:
Hey, I'm a refined taste. Hoot! Hoot!

Demon Hunter #3:
What do we do with the worms?

[Luz looks at her friends.]

Demon Hunter #1:
Throw them over the cliff.

Demon Hunter #3:
[chuckles as he approaches them]

Gus:
[whimpers]

Demon Hunter #3:
All righty, kids. Here's the end of your short little lives.

[He shoves them to the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.]

Gus:
[groans] Wait! Wait! Wait! [turns the group so he's facing the demon hunter] Is this really what you wanna be doing with your life? Tossing kids from cliffs?

Demon Hunter #3:
Actually, yes. It's been my dream since I was a boy.

[The three of them look at him for a long moment.]

Demon Hunter #3:
I was a strange child. Whee! [shoves them and laughs]

[all scream]

[Cut to the three of them dangling from a branch sticking out of the cliffside.]

Luz:
If we're not killed now, we will be when Eda finds out about the house.

Willow:
Luz, I'm so sorry. You wanted to turn back but I just had to show off to Amity. The truth is she and I used to be friends.

Luz:
Whaaat?

[The branch cracks.]

Willow:
We played together as kids, but when she got her magical powers and I didn't, she stopped hanging out with me.

Gus:
Guys, is now the best time?

Willow:
[sighs] I just wanted to prove to her that I was a powerful witch too.

Luz:
That's ridiculous. You helped bring a house to life. Amity doesn't know what she's talking about.

[Willow smiles]

Luz:
Next to Eda, you're the most powerful witch I know. No offense, Gus.

Gus:
No, not at all. I know what I'm about.

[branch cracks] [all yelp]

Gus:
This tree can't hold us much longer.

Willow:
[grunts as she frees a hand] There. Now, if I could just reach that root. Gotcha!

[Her hand glows green as she grabs it. Cut to the Night Market, and a flaming pile of Hexes Hold'em cards.]

King:
Oof. That was painful to watch.

Eda:
You card shark. You hustled me.

Tibbles:
[chuckles] Looks like you forgot about my wild card.

[His wild card hops out of his hand onto the counter.]

Card:
[growls and rips shirt] Yeah!

Tibbles:
In any case, I'd like my prize now. And I choose... the little bone boy. [chuckles and takes King] I've always wanted a tiny servant to model my line of baby clothes.
