Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Mmmm.

Hm.

Oh, just eat one already!

There's only ever one chip worth eating.

Besides, if this is too boring,

you could be practicing your magic.

Fine!

What are we learning today?

Why don't you pick one? Pick anything.

And my mom would be cool with that?

Yes, there's a lot I do that your mom isn't cool with.

Well, how cool would she be with this?

The table of contents?

A thrilling choice.

Why is that in the middle?

- Ehhh? - Pedestrian.

- Ehh? - Boring.

The perfect chip.

What's this?!

- Oh, no, no. - Hey, you said anything.

It's the most dangerous chapter in the book.

It shouldn't even be in there.

Your mom would totally freak out.

Okay, okay, you sold me.

I wanna read that.

Oh, I don't know, Star.

It could taint you.

Perfect chip!

Unlock it.

Hostage-taking.

Classic Butterfly.

Unlock it or else.

- You wouldn't. - Uh-uh-uh.

Okay, okay.

Chip.

Okay, so...

- Yes, yes, but, um... - Hey!

This wasn't the deal.

Oh, well, I'm so sorry.

But you're without your bargaining chip.

Fine. I am standing here. Open it.

Now, I'm going to show you, for a split second.

Bureaucracy of Magic. Yes, this is he.

- Tell 'em you're busy. - Kind of a bad time.

- Tell 'em you're busy. - Are you listening to me?

- You're busy right now. - This is not a good time.

This is the worst time.

- Star, I'll be right back. - Just hang up.

Don't turn the page.

Uh, Glossaryck?

Oh, hi, Mr. Glossaryck. Sir?

Sean. Oh.

Sorry. The transporter's on the fritz today.

But there's free muffins in the lobby.

Look, Sean, I was in the middle of something,

and it was of ultra cosmic importance.

Yeah, but you see,

the Magic High Commission wants to see you, too, and...

Uh, is everything all right?

I don't know. Is everything all right?

Did you get on the right flight? Are you running late?

Are you cracked, are you confused?

Are you mad?

Oh, Mr. Glossaryck, you're so crazy.

But you still have to go up and see the Magic High Commission.

Hand me your radio.

Radio's on the fritz, too.

You're gonna have to go up.

Very well.

Great. Up the elevator, all the way to the top.

Wait, wait, wait. No magic in the building.

You'll have to walk.

Fine.

Have a magical day.

Glossaryck.

Glossaryck, Glossaryck, Glossaryck.

He is not waking up.

Time to call Mom.

Uh, never mind.

Please step through the magical detection machine.

Oh, come on.

Are you carrying any articles of magic, sorcery,

or occult objects of a mystical nature?

Uh... no.

Just step this way, please.

Thank you.

Okay, Mr. Glossaryck. Your turn.

Wait. Hold on. Are you kidding?

That other guy just walked right through.

Technology, right?

I miss the simpler days.

I think we're done here.

Have a magical...

Sean, work with me, please.

Cosmic ultra importance.

That stays with me.

Hello. Hold the elevator.

Oh, hey, Mr. Glossaryck. Which floor?

We've done this. Top floor.

Uh, what's going on? The elevator's not moving.

Uh, elevator's on the fritz, too.

Sorry.

But there's muffins in the lobby.

Which part of "cosmic ultra importance"

do you not understand?

Now we have to stop on every floor.

Sean. Stairs.

Hey, Star, check it out.

I'm getting my first chest hair.

It's pretty small, but if you look at it

in just the right light...

Uh, Glossaryck?

What's up with him?

He's on the fritz.

Wait a sec.

Are you doing something you're not supposed to?

Glossaryck said not to turn the page.

But he didn't say you couldn't.

Stairs are on the fritz, too.

Now, now, Mr. Glossaryck.

No magic in the building.

You're probably wondering why you're here.

Children, the only thing I wonder

is why you waste my time.

Don't call me children.

You're the children.

I've got chest diamonds bigger than you.

Rhombulus.

Rhombulus, you still mad about my last visit?

Excuse me, sorry. Don't mean to be rude.

Getting stronger, though, huh? That's good.

You always do this!

So you bring me here while I'm at work.

Doing my job.

Yes, Glossaryck.

That's exactly what we're here to talk about.

My liege.

The commission has discovered a problem.

Something somewhere is sapping the power of magic

from the universe.

Yes, that would explain the fritz.

That's what I've been saying.

Hey, the time-out corner is not on the fritz.

Stupid Glossaryck.

Stupid time out.

Omnitraxus has been searching for the leak's cause.

Omnitraxus, what have you learned?

Hello!

Omni?

Can you hear me?

- Check the inputs. - You out.

Yeah, whatever. I'll crystallize myself.

Would you miss me? No.

Whatever's causing it,

I want everyone to be on their toes.

Especially Star.

I need you to accelerate her training.

Yeah... no.

Why all the riddles?

You were always very direct when you were training me.

Well, it finally happened.

Every queen wants to tell me how to do my job.

"My training was different."

You know what Glossaryck hears?

Me-me-me-me-me!

"I'm going to pull my mentor away from his job

so I can be in the spotlight again."

The only Butterfly to leave me be

was your great-great-great great-great-great-great great-grandmother,

Eclipsa, the queen of darkness,

whose chapter, coincidentally, you left Star alone with

when you pulled me into this wonderland of red tape.

Turn the page, turn the page!

I'm gonna turn the page.

Turn the page, Marco!

You all did this because you don't trust me,

and what's worse, you don't trust Star.

My queen. My queen, your training was different

because Star is different.

You have to have faith in her to make choices

that are best for her.

And my job

is to train Star to be a queen.

Oh!

- So? - Yeah.

You read the whole thing?

Yeah.

And?

It wasn't all that. I mean, I get it.

Power of darkness, forces of evil,

eternal suffering, blah, blah, blah.

But honestly, didn't really affect me that much.

- Just wasn't my thing. - Yes!

But Marco, on the other hand. Yikes.

Luckily, there's a spell to fix that.

Oh, Minnesota. Fancy.

Okay, you got this.
