W.I.T.C.H.

[repeated line]

Will Vandom:
Guardians, unite!

Irma Lair:
Water!

Taranee Cook:
Fire!

Cornelia Hale:
Earth!

Hay Lin:
Air!

Will Vandom:
Quintessence!

Caleb:
Okay, Mister "show-me-the-ropes," why are Earth girls so... impossible?

Matt:
Dude, books have been written...

Will Vandom:
Matt! Fancy you being here. Do you ski? I mean, of course you ski! So would you like to ski down me? [blushes] With, with me!

Taranee Cook:
[about Sondra] She dissed me for not reading "War and Peace" in "ze original Russian." I'd like to feed her the book in "ze original Russian!"

Caleb:
[Blunk has been drugged and is hallucinating] No, you aren't at the beach.

Blunk:
[holding something in his hands] Green fish...

Caleb:
That is your foot.

Cornelia Hale:
I'm blonde, not dense.

[Irma, Blunk, and Matt, are looking for their friends - Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin - in Meridian, who've gone chasing after the evil Passling, Jeek, who's stolen The Horn Of Hypnose:
a mystical horn that puts its victims, into a zombie-like, trance... turning them into "Trance-Marchers"... ]

[Irma, Matt, and Blunk, are surprised, by the sudden appearance, of their friends - Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin - and the vacant expressions, upon their faces...!]

Irma:
[chuckles] Okay! Are you guys practicing, to be runway models, or is something really wrong, here?

Blunk:
[frightened, quiet voice] Hmm... Look like... Trance-Marchers...!

Irma Lair:
[after Will, Taranee, Cornelia and Haylin have been hypnotized] Okay are they practicing to be runway models or is there something really wrong here?

Blunk:
Irma save Blunk's life!

Irma Lair:
Okay, okay. Take it easy. It's not like we're going to the prom together.

Irma Lair:
I'm being held hostage!

Tom Lair:
No, you're being grounded.

Irma Lair:
That's just being held hostage with a bonus lecture.

[Will explains the finer points, to washing clothes, to her Astral Drop counterpart... ]

Will Vandom:
[Holding a white shirt, in one hand, and a dark-colored shirt, in the other... ] Okay! So, once again, never mix...

Will Vandom:
[as ASTRAL WILL... With a blank look, on her face... ] Irma with Cornelia...?

Susan Vandom:
Did you forget you promised to get this laundry done?

Will Vandom:
Hmm, I don't know! Did you forget you promised to stop seeing my teacher?

Susan Vandom:
Will... I...

Will Vandom:
Dating: fine! Dating my teacher: GROSS - but also fine! Lying to me about it while lecturing me on responsibility: PRICELESS!

Taranee Cook:
Why don't we just take the elevator?

Will:
You mean the elevator with a "ding" like a microwave, telling him we're inside, ready to eat?

Cornelia Hale:
[planning Will's birthday party] Guess what the theme is.

Taranee Cook:
Uh... the color you turn when you're gonna throw up?

Cornelia Hale:
Hello! Haven't you ever looked at Will's backpack? Her pencil case? And that dangly thing on her hat?

Taranee Cook:
I guess not attentively enough.

Cornelia Hale:
She's got frogs on them! She likes frogs, so... frog party! Are you loving it?

Lillian Hale:
It looks like somebody barfed on the walls.

Cornelia Hale:
[indicates Lillian's wading pool] And, viola... the snack pond!

Lillian Hale:
That's my wading pool! You can't have it!

Cornelia Hale:
Quiet, or I'll shave your bear.

Hay Lin:
[regarding the map showing portals in Heatherfield] Why wait until now to give me this? Is it 'cause my powers are finally mature enough that I'm worthy?

Grandma Yan Lin:
Nah! It was in the attic. I couldn't find it. Found my old tennis racket, too! Fore! [swings racket] Ow!

Will:
[after arriving at her surprise party, to Irma] You promised...

Cornelia Hale:
Can you believe Irma didn't want to throw you a party just because you told her not to? Give me thirteen hugs, birthday girl!

Martin:
Hey, thanks for inviting me, sweetie-lips!

Irma:
[gasps] I didn't invite you, Martin! I didn't invite *anyone.* And don't you *ever* call me "sweetie-lips."

Martin:
I, uh, didn't want to say in front of the other guests, but, uh, there were flies on your cupcakes. Uh, don't worry, though, I pulled 'em off. [eats one] Oh, they're just raisins. Yeah, I'll put 'em back. They're in my pocket.

Caleb:
They have strange customs here. That guy's putting flies on little cakes.

Blunk:
[licks lips] Sound good!

Irma:
[ushering her father upstairs] I do not throw parties while you and Mom are out of town, and you do not embarrass me when you are *in* town.

Mrs. Lair:
I remember when we got to go to all of her little parties...

Irma:
[Irma rushes in] Mom, Dad, some of us are going for pizza. Can you keep the party going until we get back?

Tom Lair:
Are you kidding? I'm a part-y animal! Hey, remember when I gave donkey rides for your fourth birthday? Hee-HAW! Hee-HAW! Hee-HAW!

Irma:
Dad, please? Don't talk me out of this.

Cornelia Hale:
The world had better be in *serious* danger for me to leave Caleb with those girls.

Caleb:
Where are Will and Irma going?

Elyon:
Pizza.

Caleb:
Where's that?

Taranee Cook:
Maybe we should call the police?

Will:
For this kind of problem, we *are* the police.

Taranee Cook:
I was afraid you'd say that.

Blunk:
Maybe Blunk too pretty to scare boys...

Caleb:
I'll risk it.

Cedric:
What are you doing on this side of the Veil, smuggler?

Blunk:
Retailer!

Irma:
Happy birthday, Pink Perky Poopie Pumpkin!

Will:
You know what would be a great gift? For you to never say that again.

Cornelia Hale:
[introducing Caleb to Uriah and his friends] Creeps, Caleb. Caleb, Creeps.

Caleb:
Pleased to meet you. Uh... are you related?

Cornelia Hale:
So, Caleb, you are gonna learn all about parties.

Caleb:
We have parties in Meridian! To celebrate the end of Klunderfeast, we cook and eat an ox.

Cornelia Hale:
We won't be doing that.

Cornelia Hale:
Hey, girls! Party, Friday, five o'clock, Irma's house. It's Will's birthday.

Hay Lin:
It's a surprise, so don't tell Will. Or Irma.

Taranee Cook:
Does this look cooked to you?

Cornelia Hale:
Taranee, it's a carrot. The only way it could harm you is if you were mugged by rabbits.

Hay Lin:
Grandma, I just sneezed and completely trashed my room! This isn't another one of those "becoming a woman" things, is it?

Caleb:
[after arriving in Heatherfield for the first time] What dangers are in this place?

Taranee Cook:
Well, there's the cafeteria food...

[Cornelia is upset the other girls dressed up for Picture Day after they all promised they wouldn't]

Hay Lin:
Like you didn't dress up!

Cornelia Hale:
Well, we all knew *I* was lying.

Susan Vandom:
How's your dinner, Will?

Will Vandom:
Awkward. Like tonight.

Susan Vandom:
Enough! You've turned this evening into a choice between the red wire and the blue. Touch the wrong one, and Will goes ballistic!

[Will throws her pizza down]

Dean Collins:
Boom.

Will Vandom:
If I make things so unpleasant, why work so hard to bring me here!

Susan Vandom:
Since you're here, why work so hard to make things so unpleasant!

Dean Collins:
You two are really more alike than you think.

[Will and Susan glare at him]

Dean Collins:
[quickly] Which was meant as a compliment!

Tridart:
Even the prettiest flower gets brittled with the cold. Brittle and likely to snap!

Cornelia Hale:
You think I'm Pretty? I'm sorry, Coldzilla, I already have a boyfriend; as for ice, if it's not diamonds, I am not interested. [Tridart screeches in pain from the heat Cornelia inflicts]

Will Vandom:
Guardians Unite!

Irma Lair:
Water!

Taranee Cook:
Fire!

Cornelia Hale:
Earth!

Hay Lin:
Air!

Will Vandom:
Quintessence!

Nerissa:
Turning invisible once was effortless. It never drained you like this. Wouldn't you like that power again? In endless supply?

Yan Lin:
Got a different request: you sit in the cell and let *me* gloat a while.

Matt Olsen:
Didn't know why I couldn't fly Didn't want to be stuck on the ground I wanted to soar across the sky But something was holding me down What had me cower in fear? What was it I couldn't see? The answer near, but so unclear I was fighting the demon in me The demon in me The demon in me The battle weird, over all that I feared I was fighting the demon in me He fell on me when I was weak Made me feel so lazy and dumb He talked to me deep in my sleep My mind and my soul overcome I started to just let him win I decided to just let it be It was up to me not to give in I was trapped by the demon in me The demon in me The demon in me My head in a spin, my strength wearing thin I was trapped by the demon in me Asked myself, what did I want? Kick back or just go for broke? My dreams continued to haunt I'd get close - then the demon said choke Somehow you gotta step up Stop buying excuses for free So I went face-to-face, laid claim to my space And rocked the demon... The demon in me The demon in me I recovered my spark, got free of the dark And I rocked the demon in me The demon in me I rocked the demon in me

Matt Olsen:
So many strangers on the street. Yeah, nearly everyone you meet. Can't relate, can't translate, can't create A connection. No. Easier to keep your distance. Tread the path of least resistance. Don't engage, keep to your cage, stay offstage For protection. Then everything changes. She's there. Life rearranges. Winged angel from above... Helped me find the Will... the Will to love... The Will to love... The Will to love... I figured I'd stay on the shelf. Truth be told, didn't trust myself: Always fade, don't make the grade, too afraid Of rejection. Oh... I didn't think I had the strength To find a girl on my wavelength. Just a runt, always punt. No will to hunt For perfection. Then everything changes. She's there. Life rearranges. Winged angel from above... Helped me find the Will... the Will to love... The Will to love... The Will to love... Game's full of surprises. Live our share of compromises. Still when push comes to shove... She's just the Will to love. She's just the Will to love. I found the Will to love. And everything changes. She's here. Life rearranges. Winged angel from above... She is just the Will... the Will to love. The Will to love... The Will to love... Oh... The Will to love...

[Nigel fawns over a glamoured Nerissa]

Will Vandom:
What's up with your boy?

Matt Olsen:
Uh... he's getting in touch with his inner jerk?

Cornelia Hale:
[to Hay Lin] Think of your braces like... like W.I.T.C.H. Separately, they're just useless scraps of metal, but together they're a great force for... um... fighting... overbite?

Hay Lin:
So that's it.

Nerissa:
Yes, that's it. You lose, I win.

Hay Lin:
No. I mean that's how you survive the trauma. Not by knowing it'll be all right, but by having no other choice!

Nerissa:
What are you talk...

[Hay Lin throws Nerissa across the room with a gust of wind]

Hay Lin:
I don't have the luxury of breaking down right now! Not when innocent lives are at stake!

Hay Lin:
I'm okay. Look, I'm sad or whatever... I mean more than sad, but this... this is what we do. This is who we are.

Will Vandom:
We're Guardians.

Taranee Cook:
Totally.

Irma Lair:
Tell me about it.

Hay Lin:
And we face whatever trauma comes, whether it's as stupid as getting braces, or terrible as... as losing your grandmother to the dark side.

Cornelia Hale:
As long as we face it together.

[last line]

The Mage:
So, it finally begins...

Taranee:
[jumping up and clawing at her back as they walk towards Hay Lin's restaurant] Oh my gosh! There's something wigglin' around down my back!

Will:
You promise not to freak if I tell you what it is?

Taranee:
[Shaking her head nervously] Mmm-mmm!

Will:
[Pulls an eel out of Taranee's shirt and tosses it into the sewer] Then it's just a hair.

Hay Lin:
[after her grandmother states that she has terrible news] That eel down Taranee's back was poisonous?

Taranee:
What eel?

Taranee Cook:
Bats are more afraid of us than we are of them, right?

Cornelia Hale:
With you, Taranee, I'd say it's a toss-up.

[Matt enters the "portal", to Meridian. On the other side, he trips - and tumbles down a snow-covered mountain peek!]

Hay Lin:
[Turns around, and spots Matt - tumbling down, the snow-covered mountain peek!] Uh, Will? Isn't that your boyfriend?

Cornelia Hale:
We can cut behind the mall, then follow the railroad tracks to the Silver Dragon.

Irma Lair:
Why do I feel like I'm in a prison break film?

Irma Lair:
[entering an alley filled with garbage] Hey, Blunk's weekend place.

Will Vandom:
What the heck's Cornelia thinking?

Irma:
News flash: Cornelia NEVER thinks!

Taranee Cook:
The cat talks?

Napoleon:
[being sarcastic] No... Ricky Rodent over there is a ventriloquist.

Irma:
Ahm, no offense, but this just ain't normal.

[huggles looks at Napoleon and shivers]

Matt Olsen:
Yeah, Mr. Huggles doesn't like it either.

Napoleon:
Well, your rat can just get over it!

Matt Olsen:
He's not a rat, he's a dormouse and I'm ...

[looks away dumbfounded]

Matt Olsen:
- I'm arguing with a housepet...

Harold Hale:
Hi, honey. Anything exciting happen?

Cornelia Hale:
Nah, just the usual.

Brenda:
What is all that unearthly commotion?

Marco:
[Yawning] Dragon attacking the castle.

Brenda:
Well, come inside. You know how you scorch.

Marco:
Brenda, I had just the weirdest dream! We were living in a castle, and...

Brenda:
Go back to sleep, Marco, or you'll be sleeping in a motel.

Lillian Hale:
So... now what do we do?

Cornelia Hale:
*I* study the winter fashions. *You* keep quiet.

Lillian Hale:
[to her cat, Napoleon] I wish you could speak, Napoleon. Then I'd have *someone* to talk to.

Cornelia Hale:
Okay, that's it! Bedtime!

Lillian Hale:
It's only eight o'clock!

Cornelia Hale:
I'm in charge, and I say it's nine. Now, brush your teeth and pajamafy. Now!

Lillian Hale:
I hate you!

[Lillian stomps out of the room]

Cornelia Hale:
Then my work here is done.

[Napoleon jumps on to Cornelia's lap]

Napoleon:
Lose the magazine, doll. We gotta talk.

[Cornelia screams]

[having discovered Phobos' secret agenda, Will addresses the other Guardians... ]

Will Vandom:
Bad news, guys!

Irma Lair:
Nerissa won't stop, until she takes over the Universe?

Will Vandom:
Well, there's that - plus, Phobos is going to let Napoleon fry!

Irma Lair:
Figures!

Taranee Cook:
Yeah!

Cornelia Hale:
Big surprise!

Hay Lin:
He's, really, not very nice!

Elizabeth Hale:
[seeing Hay Lin in her Guardian form] I don't remember Halloween costumes coming with *that* kind of padding.

[Phobos wants to release Cedric and Miranda from prison]

Vathek:
Still a bad idea, if you ask me.

Phobos:
Hm... no one did.

Elyon Brown:
[after hearing that Caleb and Blunk are to be executed] We have to save them!

Nerissa:
You can't even save yourself.

Elyon Brown:
Thanks to you.

Nerissa:
Don't start with me, queenlette...

Yan Lin:
Yap, yap, yap, all night long! Phobos out there, us stuck in here.

Yan Lin's Altermere:
And not likely to save anyone unless we act in harmony.

Yan Lin:
You're stepping on my lines, kid.

Yan Lin's Altermere:
Because *we're* in harmony.

Yan Lin:
Zip it!

Yan Lin:
Caleb and Blunk's only hope is us pooling our power to fuel Halinor's telepathy. We need to sound a single, clear note with no dissent.

Nerissa:
I will try. Caleb is my son. I will not allow Phobos to harm him!

Elyon Brown:
Yeah. You're mother of the year.

Yan Lin:
That, your highness...

Yan Lin, Yan Lin's Altermere:
...is not harmony!

Yan Lin:
Stop that!

[last lines]

Will Vandom:
[voiceover] It was over. Took everyone and everything we had. Teamwork. Harmony. Yeah, that's how we maxed out our power. Anyway, we won! We all made tracks, and the Regents abandoned the glamour. The destruction downtown was blamed on the snow storm, which made no sense, but... people believe what they want to believe. Case in point: Nerissa. She would remain with Julian, and... maybe in time, father and son would make peace with what she had done. Meanwhile, the other baddies were back where they belonged, and so was a fully-powered Elyon on Meridian's throne, surrounded by people she could trust, including Raythor, who finally has a monarch worthy of his service. It was... kind of a new start for everyone. The Council of Candracar was back in business. Queen Kadma returned her heart to Zambala, but abdicated her throne for a more, uh, humble life on Earth, and a ghost-free Cassidy went home, too. Yan Lin introduced her family to her "long-lost twin sister", Mira, while the rest of us just tried to find our way back to "normal". It pretty much took all Winter Break, but by the time school started, I think we had finally decompressed.

Mrs. Knickerbocker:
Girls! Oh, girls. I'd like to introduce you to our new computer instructor. This is Professor Raphael Sylla.

Sylla:
And I'm looking forward to getting to know all five of you.

Will Vandom:
[voiceover] Yep. Everything back to normal.

[as Elyon and the former Guardians try to escape the Heart of Meridian, Nerissa dreams of escaping without them]

Nerissa:
Fools! Did they really think I'd given up?

[outside, Nerissa collects the Heart of Meridian and faces the transformed Guardians]

Nerissa:
For an improvised plan, it went quite well. In those forms, you no longer have the will to resist me. You will become my thralls for the conquest to come!

[Nerissa imagines swiftly taking Candracar with the Guardians' power, ending with Caleb and Julian ensnared by lightning]

Caleb:
You'll never get away with this!

Nerissa:
[voiceover, as Nerissa imagines taking more worlds] Oh, but I will! Candracar toppled in a matter of minutes. Poor, battered Meridian took even less time. One by one, the worlds will fall. One by one, they *will* give me their hearts, until even Earth, with all its technology, will have no choice but to acknowledge Nerissa as its queen!

[Lillian and the Regents of Earth bow to Nerissa, who's seated on a throne with Caleb and Julian beside her]

Julian:
I should never have doubted you, love.

Caleb:
You did it. You brought order to the universe. With but a few battles, you ended war for all time. I'm proud of you... Mother.
