1. The Gales
'You've never known pain, fear, hunger. When we get out there, it's not going to matter who your parents are, or what you think you deserve. Because the world is bigger than you could possibly imagine.' - Thraxus Boorman (Willow) Click To Tweet
Queen Sorsha: Willow was a man of pure heart and unfailing courage. The other, an impossibly conceited thief, liar, and rogue. Madmartigan was the man I’d marry. What can I say? I was young.
Queen Sorsha: Together, we defeated my mother, Queen Bavmorda. And freed the Kingdom of Tir Asleen from its curse. We thought the war was over. But soon after returning home, Willow had a vision. That one day, an ancient evil would rise again and destroy the future Empress, and her end would herald a new dark age. And so, Elora was hidden away, her true identity concealed, even from herself. It was the only way I could protect her.
Kit Tanthalos: You know, there’s skill, then there’s talent. I just happen to have both.
Jade Claymore: Along with a generous amount of arrogance.
Kit Tanthalos: Got to have that too.
Kit Tanthalos: It’s not about mastering the moves, Jade, it’s about adapting to your terrain. And I’m just better at that than you are.
Jade Claymore: Yeah, superior in every way, Your Highness.
Kit Tanthalos: One day, I’m going to prove it.
2. The High Aldwin'There is a balance between all things. Light and shadow. Good and evil. Sweet and spicy. When that balance is upset, the universe corrects.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Queen Sorsha: [to Willow, flashback] My dear friend. You are the bravest man I’ve ever known, and you have the truest heart I ever will. But you’re not a great sorcerer. And you never will be.
Mims Ufgod: I was the one who found you. Well, me and my brother, Ranon. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. And you were the most beautiful giant baby. You still are. Beautiful. Not a baby.
Elora Danan: You’re beautiful.
'You just have to believe. Having faith in the power that's inside you.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Jade Claymore: [to Kit] You okay? You just look a bit deranged.
Willow Ufgood: Good brave people, we Nelwyn have seen our share of woe. We’ve suffered, sacrificed, grieved, toiled, and endured. And that’s just on the weekend. I like to try and loosen them up a bit at the start.
'There is an energy that flows through all living things. Now that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed. What we call magic is the art of transforming that energy from one form to another.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Willow Ufgood: There is a balance between all things. Light and shadow. Good and evil. Sweet and spicy. When that balance is upset, the universe corrects.
'Big, small, you'll find it's all a matter of perspective.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Elora Danan: Do you use magic to make this food?
Willow Ufgood: No, you can’t use magic to make food. I did it once, I was in the toilet for a week.
3. The Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb
'There's no such thing as fate. You get lucky, or you get dead.' - Thraxus Boorman (Willow) Click To Tweet
Kit Tanthalos: This is really fascinating. I can tell they don’t call you “Bore Man” for nothing. But could you just tell me about my father?
Thraxus Boorman: Well, I’m trying to. But you keep…
Kit Tanthalos: Okay, well, can you make it short?
Thraxus Boorman: You know, your generation has like zero attention span for epic tales.
Kit Tanthalos: I love tales, okay?
Thraxus Boorman: Well, excuse me for trying to add a little bit drama and context to the night that we left Tir Asleen to find the Cuirass and use it to defend the realm.
Thraxus Boorman: Someone just concisely recap everything I missed. No? Okay, I’ll have a go. Ballantine’s lost his mind, and he’s trying to kidnap Elora on that horse.
Willow Ufgood: He doesn’t serve Tir Asleen anymore. Do you, Commander?
Silas: I don’t give a mule’s soft wispy bits who he serves. She’s with us, and he’s outnumbered five to one.
Graydon Hastur: I don’t know how much I can contribute here, Silas.
Silas: Four and a half to one.
Commander Ballantine: Who said I’m alone?
4. The Whispers of Nockmaar
'Riding and fighting doesn't make a good ruler. Wisdom does.' - Dermot (Willow) Click To Tweet
Willow Ufgood: This fortress was the stronghold of the most brutal tyrant of her age, Bavmorda.
Thraxus Boorman: Yeah. Or as Kit calls her, Grandma.
Graydon Hastur: How do I look?
Elora Danan: Like a vermathrax at a vestal faire.
Graydon Hastur: What?
Thraxus Boorman: No, it was a really good joke. Next time leave the levity to me.
'Everyone deserves one good cry per quest.' - Thraxus Boorman (Willow) Click To Tweet
Graydon Hastur: Willow obliterated Bavmorda, rescued Elora Danan, you, and saved the world.
Thraxus Boorman: Wow. Then what did you do?
Willow Ufgood: We all went out and got pi**ed.
Kit Tanthalos: And that thing that you did at The Slaughtered Lamb, could you…
Willow Ufgood: Blast his insides out? A few moments of the most excruciating pain ever endured, promptly followed by death.
Kit Tanthalos: Alright. Well, could’ve just said no.
'I spent a lot of time running from myself, till I realized the only person I'll never get away from is me.' - Thraxus Boorman (Willow) Click To Tweet
Thraxus Boorman: And meanwhile, your fiancé, Grayoncé there, is being ravaged by a three hundred year-old demon.
Graydon Hastur: Come on, man. Don’t say ravaged.
Thraxus Boorman: Sorry, bud.
5. Wildwood'To adventure is dangerous, but if you don't die, one day you may truly live.' - Rool (Willow) Click To Tweet
Kit Tanthalos: [referring to the Gales chasing them] How long can they keep this up for?
Willow Ufgood: The Crone won’t let them rest till they have Elora and have killed us.
Graydon Hastur: If only they took the time to get to know us, right?
Thraxus Boorman: The Wildwood is seductive, it lures you in with its sights and sounds. The next thing you know, you’re officiating weddings and dog-sitting for casual acquaintances.
'We're on a very important quest.' - Willow Ufgood, 'Well, as long as it's important. If it was a frivolous quest, I would have to refuse to help you.' - Rool (Willow) Click To Tweet
Willow Ufgood: You can move objects with your mind, manipulate elemental forces, even transform people. What? What are you doing?
Elora Danan: I’m using my mind to remove that stick from your butt and transform you into someone who will let me use the wand. Is it working?
Willow Ufgood: No.
'You ensorcelled me with your sarcasm and your magnificent beard.' - Scorpia (Willow) Click To Tweet
Thraxus Boorman: The ghoulies. You know, little bugs buzzing around your head, telling you to steal some flowers, pass gas quietly, if at all, generally make a fool of yourself in front of a certain fair-haired, doe-eyed chosen one who, maybe, thinks of you as more of a friend.
Graydon Hastur: I don’t have the ghoulies
Thraxus Boorman: Okay. Great. Means I don’t have to show you how to get her to like you back.
6. Prisoners of Skellin
'It's hope that really breaks your spirit.' - Allagash (Willow) Click To Tweet
The Crone: Airk. Join us. Embrace your power.
Airk Tanthalos: No. Definitely not. Spooky voice, scary city. No, thanks.
Kit Tanthalos: Your wits, my sprightliness. We’re going to be out of here in no time.
Allagash: I’m sorry. That’s just what everyone says when they get thrown in here. Isn’t that right, guys? Didn’t I almost say exactly those same words when they tossed me in?
Willow Ufgood: Well, how long ago was that?
Allagash: Well, let’s see. What’s today? Wednesday? I’d say about ten years, give or take.
'When I said “slaughtered”, I didn't actually mean “slaughtered”. More like I slaughtered their pizzazz.' - Thraxus Boorman (Willow) Click To Tweet
Allagash: The worst part isn’t getting caught, or the punishment once you are. The worst part is believing that next time you’re going to get it right. I suppose, in the end, it’s hope that really breaks your spirit. Downer. And I’m supposed to be in charge of morale around here.
Sarris: Anywho, we gather you’re not from the Wildwood.
Kit Tanthalos: What makes you say that?
Falken: Puny, weak, feeble, frail, runty.
Sarris: I’d have said your clothes, which are stylish, yet practical, virtues not typically ascribed to tree scum.
7. Beyond the Shattered Sea
'Your doubt, jealousy, pride, hunger. Accept those parts of yourself, because it's the only way you'll ever master them.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Airk Tanthalos: The sun never sets, this day never ends.
Lili: It will, eventually.
Airk Tanthalos: How do you know that?
Lili: Because nothing lasts forever.
Lili: Well, then who’d kidnap you?
Airk Tanthalos: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve had a lot of time to think about it, and that’s the best I’ve come up with. Either that, or I’m in the most tedious nightmare of all time.
'In battle against an opponent who means you real harm, you have to be prepared for anything.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Lili: Listen, Prince Chauncey McSleazoid, or whatever your name is, I don’t know what you’re used to back home, but I’m not a palace ditz going to go all quivery just because you bat your eyes at my direction.
Airk Tanthalos: Oh, yeah. No. I didn’t think that you were…
Lili: What? That I’d be the damsel in distress in your sicko fantasy?
Airk Tanthalos: No!
Lili: Little witty banter, casual innuendo or two, see if I’m game. Then you confess some insecurity. “Hey, he’s got depth, empathy, good listener too.” And before we know it, we’re rolling in the hay. I’ve been down that path enough to know it doesn’t lead anywhere I want to go. All I’m interested in is getting out of here.
Thraxus Boorman: [referring to using the Lux] You don’t do a thing like that just casually. Demands the perfect moment, like charging into the cave of a serpent, or facing down a horde of Death Dealers. Visiting your mother after you haven’t seen her for like two years. I should really check up on my mother.
8. Children Of The Wyrm'It's okay to fall, to make mistakes. The trick is to embrace your defeats as well as your victories. You pay for both in the end.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Kit Tanthalos: Hey, can’t you just like, you know, flick your wrist and turn these guys into minced meat or something?
Elora Danan: Oh, yeah. Yeah. The old minced meat spell. Then we just drag him out of here?
Kit Tanthalos: Yeah. Why not? It could work.
'When you love someone, and they need you, yes, you jump off the edge of the world to go and get to them.' - Jade Claymore (Willow) Click To Tweet
Thraxus Boorman: You ever heard the phrase, “If your paramour jumps off the edge of the world, wait and think about it for one second before you follow her.”
Graydon Hastur: No. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one before.
Thraxus Boorman: Yeah, well, it’s pretty famous.
'All you have to do is ask yourself what it is you really love, then give yourself to it for as long as you can.' - Willow Ufgood Click To Tweet
Jade Claymore: When you love someone, and they need you, yes, you jump off the edge of the world to go and get to them. This is bigger than Airk, and the Crone. I can feel it. This is the beginning of a war. And they can’t win it alone.
'Love is sacrifice. You've got to be willing to give up what you want for what you believe in.' - Madmartigan (Willow) Click To Tweet
Willow Ufgood: I’m proud of you.
Graydon Hastur: Yeah? What for?
Willow Ufgood: You’re on your way to becoming a great sorcerer. And an even better man.
Graydon Hastur: We’ll see each other again.
[he then jumps over the edge of the Shattered Sea]
