The Owl House Page #3

Season #1 Episode #7: Lost in Language

---

[Cut to Luz holding "Snowballs, a History." She looks around a corner and sees Edric, holding the same book.]

Luz:
Ha!

[She opens the book, pelting Edric with snowballs.]

Edric:
[grunts, falls; opens book and returns fire] Ah!

Luz:
Ah! [runs]

[She's safe for a second before Emira appears, opening yet another copy of "Snowballs, a History" directly in Luz's face.]

Luz:
[yelps]

Emira:
[giggles]

[Edric and Emira laugh as they run past the kid's corner. Luz stands from where she was hiding behind a shelf and notices "Otabin the Bookmaker," the book Amity had read to the kids, glowing on the table. She picks it up and opens it, and Otabin rises out of the pages. She smiles at him.]

[Cut to the Owl House, where a baby bat is holding a mace in its claws as it flies. Another pours a green potion out on the floor. A third is jumping on the turned-over couch, under which Eda and King are hiding. The first bat is now wearing another pair of Eda's shoes.]

King:
What silences children? What if we invent a TV network for ages six to 11--

Eda:
That's insane. Aah, there's only one way out of this. [reaches into her hair and pulls out a knife]

King:
[gasps]

Eda:
[cuts an apple] Apple slices and story time. [pulls out a copy of "Otabin"; sits on the couch] All right, brats. Let's do this. Ugh. Being parental is making me sick.

[The baby bats all sit on the floor. King joins them, holding the plate of apple slices. His pupils dilate as Eda opens the book and begins reading.]

Eda:
"Otabin spend his days alone amongst the many books he'd sewn. With needle and thread..."

[Fade to Luz reading in the library.]

Luz:
"...the pages he mend. But all the while he longed for a friend."

Otabin:
[threading a needle] Friend?

Edric:
Luz, check this out.

Emira:
Look what we discovered.

[Emira opens a book called "Quacks Eats Snacks." A duck swims out of the pages and around the floor, quacking happily.]

Luz:
Aw. Cute little quackster.

[Emira holds the book out to Edric, who has a pencil. He draws legs on the duck in the book. In the real world, the duck now has matching giant human legs. It quacks hysterically.]

Emira:
Now he's extra cute. [closes the book]

Edric & Emira: [laughing]

Emira:
Your turn, Luz.

Luz:
[backing away from them] I don't know.

Edric:
[offering his pencil] Come on. Don't stop the fun.

[Luz takes the pencil hesitantly and opens "Otabin." She looks at the drawing of him on the page.]

Luz:
[sighs] I can't do it.

Edric:
Let me help.

Luz:
[grunts]

[Edric grabs Luz's hand and draws angry eyebrows and claws on Otabin. Something starts to rise out of the pages, but Luz slams it closed.]

Luz:
[grunts] I don't wanna see it.

Emira:
Whatever. We didn't come here just to doodle. Come on.

[Emira takes Luz's hand and leads the way. Luz drops the book face down. A clawed hand grows out of the book, and whatever it is growls.]

[Cut to the romance section.]

Luz:
Oh, wow. Boiling Isles romance. That's totally lame. I mean, unless you guys are into it?

Edric:
I think I'm into this one.

[Pulls a book titled "The Lone Witch & Secret Room." Something clicks. The bookshelf sinks back and slides away, revealing a secret room.]

Luz:
Wow! That's a good book.

[Luz enters the room as the twins lean against the entrance.]

Luz:
Your clubhouse is like my ultimate secret hideaway.

Edric:
We don't hang out in a library. "Uh, teacher, I'm in love with a dictionary."

Emira:
"I'm studying the dork arts." This is Amity's secret hideaway.

[Luz looks worried.]

Edric:
Mittens has gotten too... full of herself. She keeps tattling on us when we cut class.

Emira:
She needs to learn not to mess with people like that. So, we're going to find her diary.

Edric:
And then post the pages all around school for everyone to see.

Edric & Emira: [laugh]

Luz:
What? Isn't that taking it a bit too far?

Emira:
No. See, we're her family. It's tough love. She needs to learn to lighten up.

[The twins start to look around.]

Luz:
Hmm. Well, I‐‐ I don't see any diaries in here. [half-heartedly looks around] Nope, nothin'. Let's just leave. Wait, are those... [squeals] Good Witch Azura books one through four! You get these on the Boiling Isles? So majestic. [grabs a book] Is this cover hand‐drawn?

[The cover is of Amity dressed as Azura. Luz opens it, and a small version of Amity rises from the pages.]

Amity's Diary:
I saw that... human girl again.

Luz:
The diary.

Amity's Diary:
I may have overreacted. I don't wanna come off as cruel. I just can't show weakness.

Luz:
No. [closes it]

Edric:
What've you got there, Luz?

Luz:
[hides the diary behind her back] Oh. N‐Nothing. Just a Good Witch Azura 5 where she goes through her Goth phase.

[The diary glows blue and flies out of her hands.]

Luz:
Huh? No, wait.

[Emira catches the diary and hands it to Edric, who opens it.]

Amity's Diary:
It's not fair. I'm the only one who knows Ed and Em aren't perfect. Why do they keep getting away with things?

Edric:
This is it.

Emira:
Luz, were you hiding this from us?

Edric:
You see how she treats people. How she treats you.

Luz:
I know Amity can be kind of cold but no one deserves this. These are private thoughts. Let's put it back.

[Luz grabs the diary and pulls, but Edric doesn't let go. They both pull at it, Emira tugging Edric's waist.]

Edric:
She needs this.

Luz:
[grunts]

Emira:
It's for her own good.

Luz:
[grunts]

[Pages spill onto the floor, and Luz looks at them in concern.]

Amity's Diary:
"I wish I had somewhere to go." "Why won't the human leave me alone?" "Called my teacher mom again." "Sorry I haven't written for a while. Wait, why am I apologizing?"

[The pages repeat themselves as Luz hurries to pick them all back up. Amity approaches the doorway as she is collecting them.]

Amity:
Really?

Luz:
Argh. It's not what it looks like.

Edric & Emira: [both giggling]

Amity:
[mad] You two are the worst. [takes her diary from Luz, sounding hurt] But you... I've been trying to figure out what your deal is. Are, are you a poser? A nerd? I know. You're a bully, Luz. [runs off]

Luz:
Amity! [starts going after her but stops]

Edric & Emira: [both laughing]

Emira:
Mittens killed the fun.

Edric:
Again. Oh, well. We're headed out to go goblin‐tipping. Wanna come?

Luz:
You're just gonna leave?

Emira:
Yeah, with you.

[Emira grabs Luz's wrist again. This time, she tugs her hand back.]

Luz Look, you guys are cool.

Edric & Emira: [nod] Mm‐hmm.

Luz:
But I need to go talk to Mittens. I mean, Amity.

Emira:
All right. [winks] See you around, cutie.

[Her and Edric leave. Luz blushes, then runs off after Amity. Cut to a random aisle of books, where Amity is walking.]

Luz:
[rounding the corner] Amity, wait.

Amity:
First you embarrass me. Then you wanna be my friend? I don't get you. Pick a side.
