Willow Best Quotes (TV Series)

Airk Tanthalos: Kase. Excellent scowling.
Jorgen Kase: Trudging across the Western Reach looking for you, just how I’d hoped to spend the afternoon.
Airk Tanthalos: I do what I can for my friends.

Kit Tanthalos: [referring to Dove] That’s that kitchen maid, right? That makes those buttered muffins everybody always talks about?
Airk Tanthalos: Hey, I happen to be a great admirer of her muffins.
Kit Tanthalos: Yeah. No, I’m just concerned about what she’s going to put in those muffins when you inevitably break her heart.
Airk Tanthalos: I’m not going to break her heart.
Kit Tanthalos: Please. Airk, you’re going to lose interest, and then you’re going to move onto the next. It’s like the one way you’re totally consistent.

Willow Ufgood: The shadow lengthens. Only by her light can we find our way in the darkness.

Thraxus Boorman: [as he locked up in the cell] I think we both know how fond I am of our little chats, but unless it’s to bring me a slice of cake, why are you down here? Maybe it’s because you want me to tell you not to force your daughter into a loveless marriage.
Queen Sorsha: You know I don’t have a choice.
Thraxus Boorman: You married Madmartigan. Nothing easy about that choice, but at least you made it for the right reasons.
Queen Sorsha: Everything I’ve done, I’ve done to protect the people I love. It costs a lot. I’m tired.
Thraxus Boorman: But how long can you keep it up?
Queen Sorsha: As long as I have to.

Kit Tanthalos: So, we’re getting married. That’s weird, right?
Graydon Hastur: I’m looking forward to it.
Kit Tanthalos: Why? You don’t even know me.
Graydon Hastur: I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the realm.

Kit Tanthalos: I’m a prisoner, sentenced to a life I didn’t even choose.
Queen Sorsha: No one chooses their life, Kit.
Kit Tanthalos: Or their mom.
Queen Sorsha: That’s right. And if you think I’m tough, you should’ve met mine.

Kit Tanthalos: Everybody loves you because you’re so charming and fun, as long as they don’t expect anything from you. Because the moment that they do, you’ll just leave. Just like Dad did.
Airk Tanthalos: I’m not him. Kit, I’m not going anywhere.

Kit Tanthalos: [to Jade] This isn’t about marrying Graydon. I mean, it is. But, I’m looking for something. And it’s not here. It’s out there. Beyond the Barrier.
Kit Tanthalos: [after she kisses Jade] You’re going to be a great knight. But I’ll still kick your a**.

Airk Tanthalos: It’s a symbol of my commitment to you. Just until I can get something more real.
Dove: I don’t have anything for you.
Airk Tanthalos: Well, that’s okay. You could just look at me, just like that, for the rest of my life.
Dove: I could. I will.

Dove: Please be careful.
Airk Tanthalos: I’m always relatively careful.
Dove: Let our love be your strength.
Airk Tanthalos: Right. Definitely going to do that.

Jorgen Kase: Would it be too much to ask you not to do anything stupid?
Airk Tanthalos: Probably.

Dove: They’re saying Airk was kidnapped. We have to find him. We have to rescue him.
Prunella: Look, I appreciate your affection for the prince, but these are serious matters. And I assure you, everything that can be done, will be.

Merrick: Caught up with him on the edge of town, trying to steal a horse.
Thraxus Boorman: False. Patently false. I was actually checking on the conditions of the stables as I was concerned for the welfare of the animals. Is it a crime to care, huh? To feel?

Jade Claymore: Where the princess goes, I go.
King Hastur: In that case, so is Graydon.
Graydon Hastur: I’m what now?
Kit Tanthalos: You know, I think we’re good, fellowship-wise.
King Hastur: You’d let your bride-to-be travel beyond the Barrier without you?
Graydon Hastur: It’s not ideal, but I’d learn to live with it.

Queen Sorsha: It’s all happening just as he said it would. I believed if Elora Danan disappeared and we forbade magic, that perhaps we could keep evil out. Willow disagreed. He believed eventually evil would find its way in, and when it did, magic would be the only thing that could save us.

Queen Sorsha: [to Kit] Look, just be careful. We have enemies without and within.

Jade Claymore: I think someone’s following us.
Thraxus Boorman: You know, that’s what I thought. Then I realized, you’d have to be daft to follow us, considering we’re all going to die.
Graydon Hastur: Wait, you think we’re going to die? I wish someone told me. I’m really scared of dying. That and communal bathing.

Dove: You don’t understand. We’re in love.
Jade Claymore: I don’t know how to break it to you, but Airk’s been in love with…
Dove: Not like this. Not like us. You think I’m a fool, fine. I don’t care. What we have comes around once, maybe, if you’re lucky. And there is nothing we wouldn’t do for each other.

Kit Tanthalos: Seriously? You brought a flute?
Graydon Hastur: Yeah, was that not a good idea? My nan believed that music was a balm for the soul, so.
Kit Tanthalos: This is not some jaunt, or your chance to see the world. It’s dangerous.

Thraxus Boorman: Well, you’re all so naive, it’s adorable. What? 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. It doesn’t give a damn about any of you.

Thraxus Boorman: [referring to Dove] She’s gone. When I woke up. Yeah, one night of sleeping on the hard ground will cure anyone of their romantic fantasies.

Graydon Hastur: [reading from the writing on the rocks] “We stand at the threshold. We peer into the void. We bear witness to his glory. The Eternal One, the healer of worlds. As he stirs from his deathless slumber deep below the surface, the Harbinger of the Wyrm will come.”

Dove: You’re not the boss of me, Princess. Not out here.
Thraxus Boorman: I like her. I think we should keep her.
Kit Tanthalos: Nobody asked you, Boorman!
Dove: Shut up, Boorman.

Jorgen Kase: I don’t care if you like each other. We’re all in this together now. And out here, in the world beyond, if you’re not vigilant at each moment, I swear you will not survive.
[just then he’s shot through the back with an arrow]

Thraxus Boorman: [to the others as they’re being chased by bone reavers] Why are you riding so slow? We are being chased!

Bone Reaver: Boorman! You’re supposed to be dead!
Thraxus Boorman: That’s not me, mate. I think you’re thinking of someone else.

Jade Claymore: What happened here?
Silas: Plenty. And if you’re not careful, it will happen to you too.

Thraxus Boorman: You’re Willow?
Silas: Yep, that’s me. Willow. But I’m out of the sorcery business now. I’ve retired. So jog on.

Kit Tanthalos: My name is Kit Tanthalos. My mother is Sorsha. She sent me here to come find you. She told me that once long ago, you stood together against the forces of evil and defeated them. The world needs you again. It needs your magic.
Willow Ufgood: It’s okay. She is who she claims to be.
Silas: How do you know?
Willow Ufgood: I read her mind. Kidding! Had you though, didn’t I? I didn’t read your mind. It’s just, you remind me of your mother.

Thraxus Boorman: Princess, I’ve traveled all across the world, and I’ve met some real magical marvins, but I’ve never met anyone who crossed the Shattered Sea. That’s where all the maps end.
Willow Ufgood: And that’s where we must go. Beyond the edge of our world. Into the unknown.

Willow Ufgood: You shouldn’t be here, but it’s so good to see you, Elora.
Kit Tanthalos: Did he just say…
Dove: No, you’ve made a mistake. That’s not, I’m not, I’m nobody.
Willow Ufgood: You are Elora Danan, Last Blood of Kymeria, future Empress, High Priestess, Semprum Sorceress of the Nine Realms, and the world’s last, best hope against the evil coming to destroy us all.
Dove: What?

Willow Ufgood: She was the most serene baby.
Mims Ufgod: I remember.
Willow Ufgood: Those thoughtful, gentle eyes would just follow me, and she seemed to understand everything. What happened to that Elora?
Mims Ufgod: Oh. She fell in love. And I’d have thought you, more than anyone, would understand why you’ll never talk her out of it.

Willow Ufgood: If anything happens to her, the world will burn.
Mims Ufgod: And that’s why you have to go. To protect her, like you did before.

Thraxus Boorman: Maybe I’m Elora Danan. I always thought there was something special inside me.
Jade Claymore: You don’t believe it either?
Thraxus Boorman: It’s not that I don’t believe it, as much as I don’t really care.

Jade Claymore: I guess you have a better idea on how we can save the prince.
Thraxus Boorman: Oh, I’m bursting full of better ideas. But first, I recommend that we split before Miss Chosen Face catches wind and decides to follow us.

Kit Tanthalos: [referring to Elora] Where are you going?
Jade Claymore: To look for her. But just do what you want. You always do.

Willow Ufgood: You’re afraid.
Elora Danan: Well, of course I’m afraid. I couldn’t even pass the damn finger test. What if I can’t do magic? What if I can’t save him?
Willow Ufgood: You just have to believe. That’s what the finger test is about. Having faith in the power that’s inside you.
Elora Danan: Please, come with us. We need you to find Airk. I need you.

Willow Ufgood: I can’t defeat the Crone without you. You can’t save Airk without me.
Elora Danan: I guess that makes us partners.
Willow Ufgood: No. It makes me your teacher and you my student.
Elora Danan: That works too.

Mims Ufgod: I love you, Dada. You’ve always been, and you always will be, my hero.
Willow Ufgood: If I’d known going on a perilous quest was all it would take for you to say that, I’d have done it a long time ago.

Merrick: What’s gotten into you, Commander?
Commander Ballantine: Do you really want to know? It’s such a wonderful feeling.
Merrick: What is?
Commander Ballantine: Purpose.

Thraxus Boorman: You know, despite what you may have heard, I’m not actually a thief by trade. I’m what you might call an obtainer of rare artifacts.
Kit Tanthalos: Grave robber.
Thraxus Boorman: Treasure hunter.

Elora Danan: Before we start, you should probably know, that the rocking back and forward of the wagon is making me a touch queasy.
Willow Ufgood: Well, I don’t think we can do anything about that.
Elora Danan: No. No.
Willow Ufgood: It’s kind of the nature of the beast here.

Willow Ufgood: Magic is the bloodstream of the universe. Forget all you know or think you know…
Elora Danan: Oh, I don’t know anything. So, we can probably just skip that bit.

Willow Ufgood: Have you ever had the feeling, there was something happening beyond what you can see and touch? How about, have you ever dreamt of something, and then it happened? Communed with animals?
Elora Danan: You commune with animals?
Willow Ufgood: No. Do you?
Elora Danan: No! No.

Willow Ufgood: There is an energy that flows through all living things.
Elora Danan: The bloodstream of the universe.
Willow Ufgood: Yes. 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: [to Elora] You’re being something weird. Be you. Be a human being. This is really quite a simple spell compared to what you’re going to be doing.

Willow Ufgood: [to Elora] I firmly believe you have the power deep inside you. Very deep.

Willow Ufgood: [to young Elora, flashback] Big, small, you’ll find it’s all a matter of perspective.

Willow Ufgood: I’ve made some poor decisions.
Silas: When?
Willow Ufgood: You know, over the years.
Silas: Oh.

Elora Danan: My name’s not Elora. It’s not even Dove. That’s just what Airk calls me. It’s Brünhilde.
Willow Ufgood: Oof.
Thraxus Boorman: Really?
Elora Danan: Yeah. And unsurprisingly I got teased a lot. And when I wasn’t getting teased, I worked in the kitchens, and I learned how to cook. That’s who I am. That’s all I am.

Kit Tanthalos: All I know is what I can see. And so far I haven’t seen any magic.
Thraxus Boorman: [to Graydon and Silas] And that is why the three of us need to stick together. You know, we’re the glue of this group, and I want you guys to know that you can tell me anything, all your secrets, all the embarrassing stuff from when you were a child and you wet the bed, to when you played healers and nurses with that girl from down the road and it didn’t work out.

Elora Danan: When Willow said I was Elora Danan, part of me thought, “Yes. This is it.” The answer to a question I’ve been asking my whole life. “Who am I?” But this other part of me, this little voice in my head, just didn’t believe it. The truth is, I’m not special. I’m just ordinary.

Graydon Hastur: [to Elora] Why do you think Kit is so mean to you? She’s jealous. Why do you think Jade defends you? She’s dedicated. And Boorman, Boorman sticks around to see what you can do. So, yeah, there’s something kind of funny about the fact that you seem to be the one perso who can’t see how extraordinary you are.

Willow Ufgood: You don’t understand. It’s too late. The power inside her had to be nurtured, or it would dissipate till there was nothing left. She was Elora Danan once. She isn’t anymore.

Willow Ufgood: No matter what I do, no matter how many times I try to change her fate, in the end, for our world to survive, Elora Danan has to die.

Willow Ufgood: [referring to Elora] Free her!
Graydon Hastur: Me? Are you sure I’m qualified for something like that?
Willow Ufgood: Just do it!

Elora Danan: What are you doing?
Graydon Hastur: I’m rescuing you.
Elora Danan: Was no one else available?

Graydon Hastur: I blew it. When there’s an opportunity to be heroic, or even competent, I freeze up. My father calls me an embarrassment to the name of Hastur. And he’s right.

Thraxus Boorman: [referring to the broken wagon] You can’t just levitate it or something?
Willow Ufgood: No.
Thraxus Boorman: Okay. It’s really good having a sorcerer on this quest.

Kit Tanthalos: Nice work. Can we go?
Thraxus Boorman: Yeah, right after my heart explodes, I should be good to go.
Graydon Hastur: I think I pulled my groin.
Willow Ufgood: Don’t say “groin” in mixed company.

Elora Danan: Listen, we don’t have much time.
Hubert: See, they just don’t teach young people situational awareness anymore.

Elora Danan: There are men coming for me.
Hubert: Oh. We do not doubt that. You do have a pleasing aspect and fine complexion.
Elora Danan: No, wicked men! And they’re on their way here right now.

Thraxus Boorman: And Pitiless Pass, I mean, while I’ll admit is an unfortunate name, it’s actually a perfectly lovely, nice pass. Which goes by, might I add, a cozy little inn called The Slaughtered Lamb. Kind of a home away from home for me and my old partner. It’s got everything you could want, you know, in an inn.

Elora Danan: So, like I don’t know if I am, or not. Willow thinks I am, but the princess definitely doesn’t. It’s like she hates me. I don’t know why, but no matter what I do, or say, she just always takes the opposite position. Do you know how exhausting that gets?

Thraxus Boorman: [as he’s telling the story about her father, Madmartigan] I was the young, handsome, heroic one. He was my slightly shorter comedic foil.
Kit Tanthalos: And where did you go? Why did you come back and he didn’t?
Thraxus Boorman: There’s no such thing as fate. Okay. You get lucky, or you get dead. I got lucky.

Kit Tanthalos: [referring to Madmartigan] So, you actually saw him?
Thraxus Boorman: No. But I know what I know.
Kit Tanthalos: How?
Thraxus Boorman: Because if he were alive, if he’d come back, things would be different.

Jade Claymore: You’d think that Willow would contribute a bit more, being the world’s last great sorcerer and all.

Jade Claymore: Can a sorcerer lose his mojo?

Silas: You know what you’ve got to do. What are you waiting for?
Willow Ufgood: When I was young, resilient, I could take the punishment. But now I have to be careful, preserve my strength for…
Silas: For what?
Willow Ufgood: For when it gets worse.
Silas: How could it possibly get any worse?
Willow Ufgood: It can, and it will. Trust me.

Kit Tanthalos: Has anything you said been true?
Thraxus Boorman: How dare you? At least one-third of everything I’ve said has been true.
Kit Tanthalos: I’m such an idiot.
Thraxus Boorman: No, you’re not. You’re just, you’re very young.

Kit Tanthalos: What are wererats?
Thraxus Boorman: Exactly what they sound like.

Thraxus Boorman: Just pull me up, yeah?
Kit Tanthalos: I would, but I think there is this thing that is looking at me in a not-friendly way.
Thraxus Boorman: Is it a wererat?
Kit Tanthalos: I’m going to go ahead and say yes.
Thraxus Boorman: Okay. In that case, don’t pull me up.

Thraxus Boorman: Let’s try to break through one of the burial mounds.
Kit Tanthalos: If I get bit, yours is the first flesh I’m tasting!

Willow Ufgood: Silas. I can fix you. I can heal you.
Silas: Don’t waste your magic. There is something you could do. Give this to Libby. Tell her that I wasn’t scared because I’ve had a great life, and that I died doing what I was supposed to, protecting my best friend.

Commander Ballantine: [to Jade] Listen to me. Every road you’ve ever walked has led you here, to this moment.

Commander Ballantine: Elora must reach the Immemorial City, Jade. Do it.
Jade Claymore: I can’t.
Commander Ballantine: It has to be you. I’m so proud of you, Jade. Training you, raising you, the best thing I ever did. Now please, release me.

Thraxus Boorman: Horses are gone. They ran off. And I think they had the right idea. The Pitiless Pass is about to become the Pitiless Lake.
